we have a special america's choice 2014, we'll take a much closer look for two hours at the very dramatic election results and what might be ahead for the congress, the white house and the country here on cnn, 10:00 p.m. eastern tonight. that is it for me. thanks for watching. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" tonight, breaking news on several fronts. president obama facing the nation a day after a brutal defeat. he said he will compromise. could wash gridlock be worse than ever. two terror attacks in israel, police and soldiers run down by cars, violent clashes breaking out, is war next. and breaking news in the case of a philadelphia woman dragged down the street and forced into a car and all caught on tape. we're standing by for a police briefing tonight. let's go "outfront." good evening.

i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, the breaking news, president obama faces reporters after a brutal defeat in the mid-term election. he said he hears the voters loud and clear and when it comes to the hot button issue of reform, the president said he will react and without their approval if congress doesn't move fast. >> i'm eager to see what they have to offer. but what i'm not going to do is just wait and figure out what we can do lawfully through executive actions. >> executive actions, those are fighting words from a president who signed 24 executive orders so far this year. on the republican side, mitch mcconnell, the presumptive leader, also spoke with the press, but then delivered a message to the president. >> because of the strength of the veto pen he could stay on the current course he's on, or he could say, let's see if there

is some areas of agreement. >> not the most promising start for two men who say they want to work together. cnn michelle kaczynski is outfront of the white house today. he was threatening executive action, but it was a thoughtful, introspective soul searching attitude. >> it sounded kind of glum at times and sad but then you hear the threats and fighting words from both sides within the framework of let's compromise. but the president had to acknowledge that loss. and he did so by saying, look, now we really need to work together. offering this commitment to reach out to republicans, find that common ground, finally get certain things done. of course you could ask, why couldn't all of that have been done before, that would have benefited everyone if they would have done that prior to now, right? but the message is let's compromise where we are but on the tough issues he made it clear there are certain lines he will not let republicans cross. his party trounced at the polls,

the president having two more years of having to compromise or fighting it out with republicans. >> what stands out to me is that the american people sent a message, to everyone who voted, i want you to know that i hear you. to the two thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, i hear you too. >> reporter: but he vowed to reach out. >> if the ways that we're approaching the republicans in congress isn't working, i'm going to try different things, whether it is having a drink with mitch mcconnell or letting john boehner beat me again at golf. >> reporter: on immigration. >> i'm eager to see what they have to offer. but what i'm not going to do is just wait. >> reporter: meaning the time for him to take executive action is likely near. >> they have every opportunity to do it. my executive actions not only do not prevent them from passing a law that supercedes those

actions, but should be a spur for them to actually try to get something done. and i am prepared to engage them every step of the way. >> reporter: on other issues, the president issued information where there are agreements, on education, but on health care, he made it clear, this is likely to be a rough road and there will be places he will not compromise. he could veto republican efforts to repeal obama care or take out chunks that would render it dead. >> there are certainly lines i'm going to draw. repeal of the law i won't sign. efforts that would take away health care from the 10 million people who now have it and the millions more who are eligible to get it, we're not going to

support. >> reporter: so his tempered optimism starts in earnest on friday and the president will meet with congressional leaders here at the white house. erin. >> michelle, thank you very much. and joining me now, the chairman of the national republican committee, chairman good to have you with us. i know you have a good day. you delivered a walloping and that has to feel really good. i want to ask about immigration. you just heard the president quote, i'm eager to see what they have to offer but what i'm not going to do is just wait. they have every opportunity to pass legislation that can supercede my executive action and those are the key words. so the question is, are the republicans going to pass something and compromise with the president or is he going to use executive action? >> i don't believe a think he says, so, i mean, he's been talking about immigration reform for seven years. so you're using his words as if they actually mean something. and asking me to respond to it. he's been talking about this when he had 60 votes in the senate and nancy pelosi in the house and he didn't do a darn

thing and all he's been doing for the last year is lying to hispanic voters across the country saying i will sign an executive am nestry over the summer and then people got upset and he said i will do it during the mid terms and then after the mid terms. it is ridiculous. he is not trustworthy on this issue and the only thing he has done is unified the country against his immigration policies. >> here is the thing i have to ask you though. today when -- look, maybe the words weren't perfect but you have mitch mcconnell and the president saying they want to compromise and you say you don't believe anything the president says and use the word lying. >> not on immigration. he's using people -- >> you are not putting forth a tone is let's do a fresh start and work together. >> it is the same tone -- on immigration, this president, even if you put yourself in his shoes, and you adopted his view

on these policies, he has screwed up even his own priorities on this issue by mishandling the politics on this from the very beginning. so now to come back after the american people repudiated the policies of barack obama and every connected to him and to say what are you going to do to compromise with the person the american people had just repudiat repudiated, i thinks it bizarre. >> when you talk about the policies and the issues on the ballots yesterday, you are right, the voters repudiated the democrat candidates. >> ask scott brown in new hampshire if immigration and board security was an important issue in new hampshire. >> but let me ask you about what was on the ballot in different states. minimum wage, marijuana, abortion rights, criminal justice reform, all of those -- those are democratic issues. those are policies this president supports. so i guess the question i'm asking you is.

>> and it didn't work. >> but a lot of those pass. the candidates didn't win but the ballot measures passed so is this a point to say we've won and now we see the issues to the country, we need to move a little bit? >> and i think clearly and where the ground is i would agree with you on is clearly people, i think, are sick and tired of washington and their tired of things not getting it done. so bringing it down now to a place where i think it is very clear we do need to deal with is that i do think it is important to find things that we can agree on. i do think it is important for the president to not just use words but to go to the capitol, find out what of the 360 bills sitting in harry reids desk that he can agree with on he should follow through on and i think that is important. but what happened yesterday wasn't just a repudiation of barack obama and his policies, it was also an acceptance of republican policies in governing

in states like maryland, wisconsin, michigan, massachusetts. these republican governors won everywhere across the country. >> and that was -- look, the republican governor winning was significant. it is a fair point. the point i was making on the other policies that did pass. but what about health care? chairman, you and i have talked about this. senator ted cruz said the first order of republicans should be the repeal of obama care. i'm sorry, that is a broken record and they still don't have the votes to do it. you don't have the votes to override a veto. mitch mcconnell talked about it today. >> if i have the ability to call, obviously i would get rid of it. obviously it is will you true he is still there. so we'll be discussing how to go forward on this issue when we get back. >> do you have a heart to heart with people like ted cruz and say we need to do something. we all hate obama care but let's do something that can pass and

leave it alone now on this repeal issue? >> i think a lot of the republicans and even the democrats that were running for their lives yesterday, don't forget, they were all running from obama care as well in the vote that they took. the fact is much of what happened yesterday had a lot to do with obama care. so i don't think that the senators would be doing their job after they just got elected in a historic election to not go forward and try to replace obama care with something much better patient-centered and not washington centered. and i think it is important to replace it as much as we can with something better. but i think that is something the senators have to come together in washington and try to figure out. >> and before we go, when you talk about those governorships that you are happy about. one man responsible for that was chris christie, he helped the gop win more governorships than anyone forecasted.

today he said he will stand by what he said to a voter recently. i want to replay it. >> so listen, you want to have the conversation later, i'm happy to have it, buddy. but until that time, sit down and shut up. [ cheering and applause ] >> last night exit polls showed 64% of americans say chris christie would not make a good president. chairman, would you vote for him? >> of course. if he is the nominee of our party, of course i would vote for him and work for him. so -- and i support him and i thank him for his good work and i support him in what he said to the protester. i mean the person was interrupting an important event for a long time and he was being out of control and at some point you have to say, let's move on. we have a lot of people here that want to move on with the program. i think it is much to do over nothing. >> you said let's move on. a little different than what he said. but i hear your point. chairman, good to see you and i appreciate your time tonight. >> all right, thank you. and "outfront" next, why is america turning from blue to red

under president obama. john king live at the magic wall to show you the imagine. plus terrorists use cars to run down people. and a woman kidnapped, the police have a major update coming up. we're standing by. in this accident... because there was no accident. volvo's most advanced accident avoidance systems ever. the future of safety, from the company that has always brought you the future of safety. give the gift of volvo this season and we'll give you your first month's payment on us. i was out for a bike ride. i didn't think i'd have a heart attack.

but i did. i'm mike, and i'm very much alive. now my doctor recommends a bayer aspirin regimen to help prevent another heart attack. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. (cheering) yeah!! touchdown! who's ready for half time? ok i'm going to draw something up new... who ate the quarterback? share what you love with who you love. kellogg's frosted flakes. they're grrreat! that's the way i look at life. looking for something better. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin.

and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any 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. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

breaking news, president obama and democrats across the nation are trying to figure out tonight what went so wrong. >> what stands out to me though is that the american people sent a message. one that they've sent for several elections now. they expect the people they elect to work as hard as they do. they expect us to focus on their ambitions and not ours.

>> that would be new. john king is at the magic wall. john, the messages with clear to the president and many americans -- i'm sorry, i couldn't resist. blue parts of the map changed to red. what happened. >> i needed the laugh there. thank you. look, the election last night, the president said it was a message to work together but it was a repudiation to the president of this party and there is no mistaking that. and this is where we started. 55 democrats, 22 democrats an 45 republicans and here we are at 52 republicans and 45 and when we are down counting in alaska many believe it will go to republicans in dan sullivan and if you look at the polling, mary landrieu has a runoff and the polls show she is behind her opponent. but that would be 54 republicans. erin, that is a big change. can you see it. i don't need to speak. just look at the red. let's look at it from a different perspective. these are the senate races but let's go to the house races.

this is the most stunning about the growth of the republican party in the obama administration. this is right after the president was elected. where you live in the country, look at your region. this is 257 democrats, the majority that passed health care reform right after the president was elected. that is the country you live in today. look at the growth of the republican party. look at all of the blue. look at all of the blue. those are the republicans in house races. and erin, what is happening beneath that is the house has 31 governorships and picked up gains in state legislatures. the president saying there is no red america or blue america, there is one america. i hate to say it, in our pl ticks there is an incredibly more blue america. >> i want to bring in douglas brinkley and speaker for house speaker john boehner. looking at the maps. it is stunning. i feel like i'm living in a

alternate universe. all i've heard is the population is dropping, hispanics are rising and the republican party is d.o.a. all of these things have been said and you look at that map -- wow! >> in this country, you have two different americas that vote in different elections. so remember, listen, 2004, the republicans had the house and the senate and they had the white house. by 2008, the democrats had the house and the senate and the white house. it is not a right wing period or a left wing period, it is a turbulent volatile period as we are sorting ourselves out. but the demographics suggest that for election years for presidents, we have this -- david gergen calls it a blue wall. when the presidency is on the line, our folks turn out and you are right, it is latino, it is black, it is single women and young. that coalition stayed home yesterday and what you saw vote last night is another america.

it is much more white, much more male, it is much older and that coalition is in the republican party. and so you have -- right now you have two unhealthy parties because neither can win elections back to back. we are going back and forth, back and forth. it is bad for the country. one of the parties have to figure out how to win two elections in a row. >> and america likes to give power and then say they stink and then put someone else in and say they stink too. that is a big risk for the gop at this point, isn't it? >> the republicans finally have an opportunity to send some bills to president obama for his signature or his veto. there is an opportunity here for the congress to function a little bit less dysfunctionally. but we're talking about -- >> strive high. >> we are looking at the same players. all of the guys have been around

the table. and this president, i agree with van largely about the de demographics and if the president were on the ballot yesterday, it wouldn't matter which coalition he was talking about, he would have been soundly defeated. and it is for that dissatisfaction that these republicans now have this opportunity. but i don't think the ground shifts here just because the senate is now marginally more republican than democrat. >> and doug, to the point terry is making about the president. the cover of the new york daily news had a picture of the president with the caption his hope turned to nope. using the iconic picture that was used when he was first elected. look, this is part of the reason why it feels like -- it seems to happen to every incumbent six years in. so it makes me as an american, say why do we bother with two terms. the second seems like such a waste. how can the president get anything done in the next two

years? >> it will be tough. but he will have to use executive power and you saw that in the press conference, almost threatening it on immigration reform. it is a president bypassing congress. so this election may be jarring other people but it didn't jar the president. he notices the mid-term elections aren't good for incumbents and he wants to finish out what his presidency was about. i think the president that he inherited, the great recession and the economy is doing better and wall street is at an all-time high. so it will be business as usual. >> and so van, bill had a republican-controlled congress for six years but he got big things done. welfare reform, a balanced budget but that would be compromising on issues, the president has been willing to compromise with and the republicans hasn't been able to compromise. will he do more now that they control congress or not? >> first of all, if you look at

the vote, it is a weird vote. you have people voting for minimum wage increase and voting for pot and women's choice and for republicans. so the country is still trying to sort itself out. there is a pathway forward for the two parties that come together. take something like criminal justice reform. california passed prop 47, california built more prisons than any state and now they are starting to realize, it costs money to do this, prop 47 will move money from prisons to schools and you have republicans and democrats agreed on that. newt gingrich agreed on that. there is bipartisan potential to come together on that and on infrastructure. there is a lot of common ground. i hope that now that the obstruction you've seen from the republicans will go away and we can actually get together. >> but, terry, here is the thing, it doesn't look like it is going to go away because you have more republicans that agree with ted cruz in the senate and he is still saying first order of business is to repeal obama care and i know i feel like i'm banging my head against the wall, whether you love it or

hate it, they don't have the votes. >> well the president is not known for his legislative acumen. without nancy pelosi, there wouldn't be the affordable care act. so there is a problem when the white house isn't fully engaged on the hill with even the members of its own party. so for something big to happen, i agree, there are things that are emerging that we can work on. but the mistrust level is so high, and the way that these guys -- the dynamic that has evolved over the six years, we're going to have to go back to a basic legislative process and put some stuff on the president's desk and see what he does. >> thank you very much to all of you we'll see. stay tuned to cnn for a special america's choice tonight with wolf blitzer and jake tapper beginning at 10:00 eastern. and "outfront" next, the new congress already disagreement around republicans. guys, can't you have a day or 24

breaking news, president obama speaks out after a brutal defeat in the mid-term election. he said he is willing to compromise with republican, but when it comes to immigration reform, all bets are off. republicans more than taking over the senate. electing republican candidates that could be historic first as they try to become a presidential party. tim scott was the first elected to the south since reconstruction and he will join me. and mayor love is the first woman elected. and step onic is the first women elected and tim cotton is the first afghanistan war veteran to be elected to the senate. and it will bring presidential contenders who bring their own

opinions to the front. >> mitch mcconnell and the president finally connected. >> it was a cordial conversation. i appreciate it. >> but with that comes the responsibility for the republicans to governor. mcconnell bent over backwards to say he gets that. >> i think we ought to start with the view that maybe there are some things we can agree on. >> for him to negotiate, the president can't take executive action on immigration. >> it is like waving a red flag in front of a bull, to say you guys don't do what i want, i'm going to do it on my own. >> in fact, before mcconnell cuts deals with democrats, he has to deal with unruly republicans that make up the majority, like joni ernst, who wouldn't commit to mitch mcconnell. >> i'm trying to get through november first and that will be

determined after that. >> neither would ted cruz. >> that will be a decision for the conference to make and that will be decided next week. >> let me just make a prediction for you, a week from tomorrow i'll be elected majority of the senate. >> he is a senator that never wanted to be president, but several republicans are eyeing a presidential run. ted cruz, marco rubio and mcconnell said he can handle them. >> i served in a body with a bunch of class presidents. they are all that way. >> and the senate votes on gop ideas for the first time in the obama presidency and they will set the agenda and onirus -- issues like the pipeline sand since gop blocking policies, president obama has vetoed two issues in six years. more work. >> the senate stands adjourned. >> not so fast, mcconnell is

vowing the senate will stay in washington for a five-day workweek, just like the rest of us. >> whoa, you just threw that in there at the end. i don't think they've had a five day workweek all year. >> all year, all decade. >> mitch mcconnell came out with an op ed in the wall street journal, and is there anything new in there? >> no. other than these are the agenda items republicans have been pushing since they had control of the house. like the keystone pipeline, and what they call restoring the 40 hour workweek and reforming the tax code. so there are a list of things that republicans they say are going to try to do. this is an op ed with the soon to be new majority leader in the senate and the house speaker john boehner and the key point they make here is that house republicans have been passing these ideas, passing this legislation for a couple of years and it hasn't gone

anywhere in the senate because they didn't control the agenda in the senate. and now republicans do so they'll bring them up for votes. but the other point that we're hearing from republicans is they really understand the need to do some low-hanging fruit for lack of a better way to say it, fast, so they can prove they can pass legislation and govern and not just win elections. >> dana, thank you very much. and joining me now is republican senate tim scott of south carolina. and congratulations, senator. it was a historic win last night for you and you are also the first african-american in american history to be elected to both the house and the senate. there has to be a moment where you just took a deep breath and said wow today. what does this mean for you personally? >> well, for me, i look back over my grandfather's life, i'm blessed to have a grandfather that is 94 years old. he's seen a different america growing up than i have. and here is a fella who was a youngster picking cotton and in his lifetime he's seen his

grandson get elected to congress and now the senate. for me, looking at him last night, watching me give a speech was one of the most remarkable experiences of my life. >> it must have been -- it must have been amazing. just on this personal level. what -- in terms of race, this is something i know you've talked a lot about and i know maybe on some level it is not something you want to define you, obviously, but when we look at the numbers last night and this is just the exit polls, we saw 88% of the black voters supported your opponent in south carolina. obviously that went -- that went resoundingly democratic. when he was running for president, herman cain said something, he accused liberals in the black community for being racist for being black and conservative and he said how dare herman cain run as a republican. has this changed or do you still feel that? >> well i think, if you look around the country and look at some of the most successful campaigns, you talk about utah,

the first african-american female winning in the history of congress. you look at will herd in texas or the new lieutenant governor of maryland, mr. rutherford. here is what we see happening throughout the country, people are aligning their votes for values and voting for candidates who are not of their own complexion. i do see in the future of low expectations that deliver by some folks who profit from keeping some folks down an unfortunately it is your peers. we see this in the nfl when the comment about russell wilson not being black enough. what does that mean? here is my comment and my response to that. it is foolishness. it is ridiculous and it is hogwash. at the end of the day, be natural. be yourself. don't try to be normal, whatever that stereo typical definition or lame excuse for under performing is. folks who question our identity

and ethic identify because you don't fit into their mold is a insult to the entire community. >> that is a powerful way to say it. and i have to ask you about something we found out moments ago. there was a newly bub litschs army -- newly publishes army regulation and it said a service member in the army can be described as negro, describing someone black or african-american. we've reached out to the army and waiting for a formal response from them. does that shock you or is the word negro acceptable? >> well i certainly haven't seen the policy, i haven't spoken to the army. i'll reach out to the army after i get off the air and figure out what is going on there. but most consistently, the terms of african-american or black, some folks find black to be offensive and prefer african-american. either term for me works very well. at the end of the day, as we try to find ways to focus on the future, i would rather us focus on what causes us to fall behind in the world in this global

competition. i would rather focus on my opportunity agenda that creates chance and opportunities for parents. >> john boehner and mitch mcconnell just came out with an op ed in the wall street journal, something you already know about, wanting to pass the keystone pipeline. i know you know ted cruz well and you sponsored a bill with him, will you support mitch mcconnell? >> as far as i know, i'm not sure who is running, i assume mitch is running for majority leader and john will be running for majority whip. and i haven't been asked to support the candidates. i've spoken to several colleagues an they all said there are no other candidates for the top positions in our new majority so the question may be answered by default. there are no other candidates. i do believe that we have a chance through the strong leadership of our new majority to present an agenda to america about the things we should get

right. >> and i think it is really interesting. you just said yes you would support him but wish there was someone else. that is the most clever way i've heard anybody answer that question thus far. >> absolutely not. that is not what i said. what i said is what i meant, there are no other candidates and factually, if there are no other candidates for the offices being sought, then we should see who is out there and if we have mitch mcconnell looking to be the majority leader and john core line looking to be the majority whip, and there are no other candidates, this is the news. >> thank you very much. and i appreciate the time. >> thank you, erin. and "outfront" next, cars being used to run down soldiers. and frightening surveillance video of a man dragging a woman into a car. we have new developing news at this hour. for my retirement. transamerica made it easy.

it is disturbing. we want to warn you. but we do want to show it to you. you can see the soldier on the side of the road, cars are passing by and one van directly swerves right into them. it is horrible to see. the condition we know is one of them is critically injured and we don't know more than that at this hour. hours earlier, palestinians slammed into people in jerusalem, killing a officer and injuring 13 bystanders. they say, quote, bless the action. and these are pretty horrific attacks, both caught on video. are they connected? >> reporter: well we don't know, erin. but it is certainly possible that the attack in the west bank is some sort of copycat attack. israeli police are saying that the vehicle in question had plialestinian plates and they a still searching for the

perpetrator at the west bank. and it is worth mentioning two weeks ago, a very similar attack to the one that we saw in jerusalem today, in that incident a driver plowed his car into the very same area, the very same light rail station area and hitting a group of people, killing a 3-month-old american-israeli babe yy as an ecuador woman and in that incident they shot and killed the driver when he fled the scene. and copycat attacks are usual in jerusalem. >> and this is catching attention and the response, and the rabbi has got an a lot of attention. one of the few alleys and friends, a long standing relationship with jordan, pulling out their ambassador today, people thinking this could escalate. what are you hearing? >> reporter: that is right. israeli police are saying these kind of attacks are very difficult to prevent.
