>> i knew that penguins mated for life, but i did not know that they considered having affairs, but it is something new that i just learned. thank you, jeanne moos, and everybody for watching. we will see you back here tomorrow night. "ac360" begins right now. and by any measure, the midterm elections were a rout by any means. and it is clear that the republicans will control 52 seats in the senate and will have the biggest majority in the house and the senate since world war ii. and the gop kept a hold in the governor mansions by while picking up a blue state, and the home state of illinois even of the president. and the president said it was an epic and good night for the republicans. that is a baseline that you have heard all day, so in the next hour we will look at what it means and what comes next for the democratic party a that got so thoroughly drubbed last night, a nd what is next for th 2016 hopefuls like chris christie and hillary clinton and what is next for the president
5:01 pm
who despite this new world order today said all of the right things about trying to get things done. >> i'm eagerr to work with the new congress to make the next two years as productive as possible, and i look forward to work ahead anywhere we can find common ground and i'm eager to pursue it. i am eeg eer to hear the republican ideas to work together. we can surely find ways to work together. we can and will make progress if the we do it together. >> and president obama drew some lines in the sand today. chief correspondent dana bash joins me for that. for all of the talk, they said the right things, but how much common ground is there really? >> well, there are some issues of common ground, but there is as they say here, low-hanging fru fruit. there are issues that i can work together and not unimportant issues and infrastructure bills for example, and i think that that at the end of the day, this
5:02 pm
is is going to be a true test for republicans on whether they can get beyond just winning in politic politics and getting with well to governing, and it is clear in list listening to mitch mcconnell who is going to be elected the majority leader next week, he was abbunb dantley obvious that he knows that they didn't have to -- that they can govern and that it wasn't just a referendum against the president, but it is also against the dysfunction in washington. he said, this the, the voters don't think that the senate work, and it does not work and we have to make it work, and nevermind that the e democrats have a complaint that the reason that the senate is not working is because the senate and mitch mcconnell made it so. >> and with the opposition of others threatening action on immigration, and what could effect could that have? >> ar very dire effect. this is the big warning sign and
5:03 pm
the big red flag and what mitch mcconnell said that maybe waving a red flag in front of a bull. and what the president said before the reelection is that if there is not any movement on immigration reform he would use the executive authority and do some things with the power that he has. the problem is that if he does that, then you are going to have a lot of rank and file republicans in the house and the senate who already have a trust issue, and not only with the president, but with their own leadership that they can actually negotiate some things with the president that they like, and it is going to make it a whole lot worse, and a whole lot harder for mitch mcconnell and john boehner to get it done, and remember that the leadership, they are kind of institutionalist isis institutionalists, and legislators at heart, and the problem is at the house, and they don't have the backing of the rank and file, and if the president uses the executive auth authority, it is going to be a lot of backing. >> and thank you, dana, and we
5:04 pm
will talk to paul begala and ananavarro and david gergen,. david, so we have heard this playbook before and how long does it last? >> we v and have, anderson. and so the president flat out said that he is going to sign the executive order for immigration reform, and moments after mitch mcconnell said it would poison the well. signing it is going to make it much, much harder, and i sort of criticize the president frequently, but sometimes you can't avoid it. you would think that coming out of the election like this, he would have offer ed a peace pip and said, let's wait six months on the immigration reform, and give it one more try in the congress and if we don't make it, i will sign the thing, but instead, i will do it anyway, and i don't care about the elections, and there was also an air of unreality in the
5:05 pm
president's e response to the election, and almost as if, well, one more election, and what does it matter? >> paul, what about that? why go ahead with the executive action if it is going to derail everything? >> well, because i suspect that the president is thinking to derail it compared to what? the bill is languishing, languishing in the house for what, because it is going to be more difficult than easier to get a come pprehensive bill through, and he has an obligation here, too. he is trying to run a country and lead, and he is promising to do. this and this is, too, important. >> and david, why not six more months to give him a chance? >> well, david and i worked for the same guy and we plooe in compromise, but on this one, the president has given his word, and the republicans by the way, did not run, and this, they ran against obama personally, and they did not run against immigration reform except for scott brown who lost, and most of the republicans did not run
5:06 pm
on the set of issues like in 1994 the way my old boss bill clinton got drubbed. they had a contract on america, and issue-oriented, but this is about stopping obama, and the notion na a bthat a bunch of pe got elected to stop him is going to be a fantasy, and they should de definitely look at that. >> and what about it, ana? the republicans have a president obama governing by fiat? >> yes, it is something that bothers the republicans a lot, this issue of him doing things by executive action and not legislative, and the bipartisan immigration bill that left the senate last year is dead frankly. if something passes at this point, it is going to have to be a new bill and something to pass the house. there is genuine willingness from the house and the senate leadership to get a compromise on immigration, and it is going
5:07 pm
to be made more difficult by an executive action, and i don't know if they cannot broker a deal on the executive action, and say, you know, i'm going to wait some time or do a short-term executive action that gets supplanted by a bill if and when that passes. so we have got two questions, and one is, is president obama going to sign the executive action which he said today that he would, but he has said many times that he would, and he continues delaying it. so i think that is one of the problems that s ths that he has now, impatient groups, latino group, and advocacy groups who are waiting seven years for him to fulfill the promises, and the second question is what is in the executive action? how broad is it? how many people will be covered? the groups have large expectations. and we have no idea what that executive action is going to encompass, and that is part of what the reaction is going to be as well. >> and david, realistically,
5:08 pm
where are the areas that the democrats and the republicans who say they want to work together can work together moving forward? >> well, anderson, most of them in the economic area, and most of them in the trade authority and may not sound like a lot to the americans, but it is quite important. the president needs trade aut r authority to go through congress, and most will stand up to it, and there is a transamerican agreement that is shaping up, and the senate needs to take the lead on it, and to ache the notion of what the word pivoting once was and the trade agreement with europe. so a lot there and possibly tax reform, although they are disagreeing on the elements of that, and the transportation bill and the infrastructure is important, and investing in the roads and the highways and the ports, and the chinese are outstripping us like crazy on infrastructure spending. >> and paul, there are conservatives who are saying, why should the republicans try to work with the president if they are wanting to win in 2016,
5:09 pm
because it is better to do nothing, and there was an article in the national review about this than the problem of governing and why show that you can work together, because the voters say, well, keep it like they are, because you could have a democratic president? >> well, that is part of the antithesis in the republican base, and it is almost unimaginable, and the folks who won are talented politician, and i don't want to denigrate them, but they did not run around the state saying if you vote for me, i will compromise with barack obama, and the folks who elected them will be furious if they come here to do it. it is not a crowd, and i know that mitch mcconnell is a serious legislator and he is going to want to cut a deal, but if folks elected last night are ted cruz republicans, and sarah palin republicans, and they are deeply principled and they don't want to compromise. >> paul, you keep saying that,
5:10 pm
and that is not -- >> it is true. >> it is not true. and let me explain to you why it is not true. if you believe back when dinosaurs ruleded the earth, and we were back in the midst of the republican primaries and the national tea party groups targeted a bunch of the incumbent senators to be taken out, and people like lindsey graham were on the target list and people like mitch mcconnell and john cornyn were on the list and the people on the general candidates incumbents, and nonincumbents were precisely people who were not the national tea p tea party candidates, and they were the so-called establishment candidate, and the only people calling this new batch of senators-elect tea party are democrats, because that is how they want to frame them the, but let them be senators and give them a chance. >> and to their point, there is not a lot of people running around the states saying that they want to compromise. david? >> well, no question, that mitch mcconnell and the establishment
5:11 pm
team got much better candidates on the field this year not seen as tea party candidates and not seen as far right, and that is why they did so well. and the states like in colorado, and the "denver post" endorsed the republican candidate lloyd gardner and he won, and that is a breakthrough for the republicans to nominate and send someone like that to washington. is he conservative, yes e. hard right, no. but it is a mischaracterization to say that it is a bunch of hard tea parr ti people. >> well, we have to go, and paul begala and ananavarro and david gergen, thank you so much. and set your dvr tonight. and the road to victory was paved with red, and john king is going to break it down and explain why so many states have shift ed shifted to trigt. htrigt. still the one for you. e trigt. rtrigt. trigt. ght. . .

5:13 pm
5:15 pm
welcome back, and mitch mcconnell is expected to be the senate majority leader when the senate convenes in january, and this is the message he said that he heard from the voters yesterday. >> i think that what the voters were saying yesterday was a couple of things. number one, they are obviously not satisfied with the direction of the administration, but at the same time, i heard a lot of discussion about dysfunction in washington, and i think that there are a lot of people who believe that just because you
5:16 pm
have divided government, it does not mean that you don't accomplish anything. >> and whether or not the newly elected republican control of congress is going to accomplish more than the current congress remains to be seen. and for every candidate thelect last night, the road ahead remains to be seen. and john king joins me at the magic wall, and break it down how this played out for us. >> and the numbers and the colors don't lie. watch the map as it plays out, and you will see the dramatic changes. look at the course through the senate last night, and you start with 55 democrats, blue, and twoment ins, and 45 republicans to begin the night, and here is where we are now. and it got a lot more red, didn't it? and the expectation is that dan sullivan will win alaska and then we have a louisiana runoff in the first week of december, and it looks like republicans will hold on to the virginia
5:17 pm
seat narr row ly and so if you end the cycle with that, you will go from 45 to 54 republicans and a lot more republicans at the senate level. switching maps out to the national level here, and look, that is the senate that i showed you, and here are the governors, and 31 republican governors after last night, and look at the several pickups, and all of the red. this is the most stunning map you can show, and we live in a red america, and this is the house of representatives, and the republicans have the biggest a majority in the house since world war ii, and we will go back in time, and this is after president obama was elected in the democratic year of 2008, and look at the blue in the country and take a peek and looking at the northwest and the southwest and the the south and the border states up here, and new england and the midwest that is normally blue, that is then, and this is now. one more time. that is when the president was elected, and this is now. he went from 257 democrats here, and this is how they passed the health care, and 257 democrats back then. 179 now. underneath all of this,
5:18 pm
anderson, the republicans had gained 600 legislative seats last night, and picked 165 more, and the republicans are winning when it comes to the washington jobs and winning at the state level, as well. >> and all day, looking at the turnout and the exit polls, but is it safe to say it is a repudiation of president obama and the embrace of the republicans or more going on? >> well, the firstst part, yes, it is a repudiation of the president, without a doubt, and he said that the policies were on the doubt, but the republicans have to be careful, and we look at the exit poll data. 54% of the data said that government is doing too much, and that is con ser servative government liking that. and how is the president doing, 54% said not good. and you think that you are in solid ground, but the opinion of the republican leaders in congress, and even as they gave them new powers and new seats, 6 in 10 americans are angry and dissatisfied so the republican
5:19 pm
leadership is on a short leash, no doubt about it. and what is your opinion of the republican party, and that is the same as the president's numbers and the american people don't like anybody when it comes to the republicans. and look at this, what are most of the conservative base voters in the republican party think of? amnesty if you give citizenship to the undocumented and 6 in 10 americans said they should be offered some legal status, and so that is counter to the base, and you had some initiatives that were running counter to the republican positions, so the voters gave the republicans broad new power, but a short, skeptical leash. >> and john, john is going to be with us for the next two hours crunching the the numbers and look looking at the maps. so what is a democrat to do? for that we will look at political commentator and special adviser of the clinton white house, and van jones joining us as well as stephanie cutter, former obama adviser, and so, paul, are you thinking that this is typical pushback of
5:20 pm
the white house? >> well, i don't like to dismiz dismiss it, because it is an impressive win, and it is a teeter totter time and a reverse of the '80s when there was democrats with the lock on the white house, and all reverse of the republicans had to eat right and exercise in the days of tip o'neill. and i think that president obama is in the center of it. the truth is that we wouldn't have the white house without him, and the house would not have the congress without him, and so in two years he is going to to be gone, and it is going to be a totally kif different politics without him. >> and van, you have been cautioning us to not overinterpret the results, but surely there is something to take away from this? >> and we have been looking at the it is a republican strength, but yesterday, it was also a look at the democratic weakness. the base did not turn out, and the democrats have to look in
5:21 pm
the mirror to find out why the african-american base, and the latino and the young base did not turn out. we did not nationalize the election on the issues, and we want to do it on the student debt for you, young people, and the republicans won't let us, and we want to do something with the justice reform, and the young people want criminal justice reform, but the republicans right now, we have not had the breakthrough yet, and we did not nationalize it on the issues, but they nationalized it on obama, and the base was not inspired to come out, and the latino base was not inspired to come out, and it hurt us, and it is fine to talk about the republican strength, but we have to find a way to come in between the presidential elections to inspire the base to come out, and we have tuque to the base about the pain that the party is feeling, because it hurt us. >> and stephanie, what do you do in the next two years? >> well, find a way to govern. i agree with paul and van about the comments of what the
5:22 pm
election meant. two things, it is a repudiation of washington. the president is the highest ranking official in the country in washington, so he bears most of the blame or at least the voters are dealing with him, and dealing him most of the blame, but we also did not give most of the argument to the base to come out, and mostly because crisis after crisis was eating up all of the oxygen. it is difficult to get an argument the breakthrough and the democrats were running away from the president, and it is hard to argue what you are standing for when you are running away from the leader at the top. so for the next two years, democrats have an opportunity to make the core economic argument, and how do you help the students to pay for the loan debt? how do you help the workers get the wages to go up? the minimum wage passed in deeply red states yesterday and that is a signal to the democrats and the republicans that the american people are looking for action on these issues, and the democrats can help to make the action on those
5:23 pm
issues and i hope that the republicans are, too, the and it is an opportunity for us to work together and i think that we missed an opportunity to look at minimum wage and giving america a minimum wage very popular in both parties and extending the unemployment benefits and giving runway for people with the resumes out there, and democrats for them, and republicans against it, and we never made that case to give you the help that you need to get back on your feet, and look at who is in your way. and we did not nationalize it. and the only person who did is elizabeth warren, a liberal in massachusetts could go to kentucky to be well received because of the tough economic message and we have to do it through the party. >> and so, paul, a mistake for the president not to go out? >> no, it is a mistake to go to the five he went to. >> really? >> no, he is a gifted campaigner and good lord, a great politician. and stephanie said it fairly or not, they wanted to punish him,
5:24 pm
punish president obama and bringing him out more would have caused more damage, and it made no strategic sense at all. and i suspect that the president understands it. and some people said, we should have had more of him and he campaigned in maryland a state that he won by 26 point, and the democrat for whom he campaigned lost. this is very much about the president. and that is why, as van points out, the very same people who for example in arkansas threw out the democratic senator by 17 points raised the minimum wage by two to one in the home state of wall marth. -- of walmart. so it is not the ideas, but the anger at the the president. and message received. he handled it well. >> and van is going to stick around, and thank you, stephanie cutter and paul begala. and now, hillary clinton
5:25 pm
stubbed for a number of candidates, and they were dubbed hillary's losers, and when dig into that next. all the way until the am. new aleve pm the only one with a safe sleep aid. plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. come from all walks of life. if you have high blood sugar, ask your doctor about farxiga. it's a different kind of medicine that works by removing some sugar from your body. along with diet and exercise, farxiga helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. with one pill a day, farxiga helps lower your a1c.

5:29 pm
well, the glove s as are ofr the 2016 presidential race, and gop senator rand paul wasted no time to mock the candidates who hillary clinton campaigned for and lost. he dubbed them hillary's losers. and including allison lund erga grime grimes. and so before people angrily tweet me, candy, and we know that the race has barely ended, and people are already jockeying for 2016, but it is seeming that senator rand is more preoccupied with hull ri clinton's -- with
5:30 pm
hillary clinton's candidates rather than the republicans? >> well, it e seems that the out there, it is hillary all of the time, and it is not paul taking shots at her alone, and so has ted cruz and a number of people, but the fact that he did it in a speech just before mitch mcconnell did it in a speech saying, thank you, kentucky, for re-electing me, and it was a land speed record for pivoting from 2014 to 2016, and it is a day when they ran into each other. >> yes. >> and van, in the results l.a. night, you are saying they cannot be used as a bellwether as to what might or might not happen for hillary clinton or another democrat for 2016? >> that is true. you literally have two different americas, a nd two different clumps of the voters who come
5:31 pm
out. and republicans did what they do, but the democrats didn't turn up in the numbers that we need to the perform well. and let me tell you something about rand paul. this guy started out with a very big problem with the african-american, and he stepped in it saying that he would have been against dr. king on the civil rights act of the 1960s, and he shocked a lot of people and he started way, way down in the terms of the esteem for the african-americans, and he has pulled himself out of the gutter by talking about criminal justice reform, and here you have rand paul reaching out to cory booker, the young senator from new jersey and holding hands and saying, we want to do something about the excessive number of african-americans and latinos and young people, people period, who are winding up in prison on the nonviolent drug charges which has strug a chord in the post-ferguson african-american struggle, and you have young people saying,
5:32 pm
this guy is speaking for me, and for him to kind of tweak hillary clinton, you are seeing him get very, very smart about how to position himself in how to be an alternative for the chunk of the democratic party coming up on the 2016, and watch rand paul on the criminal justice and you will see a smart strategy here. >> and candy, there are two sides to the republican party, and the more establishment side and the chris christie and the jeb bush and the more e tea party side of rand paul and ted cruz, and who has the advantage after last night? >> i am not sure anybody does. look, chris christie had a great night, because he was in charge of getting the republican governors elected, and he did. it was a great night for him, and he had visibility, and nobody was talking about bridges to new york and none of that stuff. and remember that the governorship governorships were to be a great big bright spot for the democrats, so he came out fine. i this they the the rest of them, you saw ted cruz out
5:33 pm
there, and you saw rand paul out there all talk about what the e lek meant, and they will do more on the senate floor and they have platforms ready and if anybody stands out certainly for success, it has to be chris christie, but the fact is that it is hard to take 2014 and do an overlay to the 2016 and know what is it going to mean, because it is a long time before they get really active. >> and one last thing, i was going to say that you will see a disgruntlement and frustration and you will see obama trying to reach out to the republicans, and going to make some people happy and some people in the democratic people sad especially if it is bad trade deals, and giving the tax breaks to corporate tax cheats and a lot of stuff and resentment that will be built up, and fear and elizabeth warren could catch fire as obama trying to deal with the reality,b and he could open the door for elizabeth warren. >> and so what he is saying,
5:34 pm
anderson, is that the republican party is not the only party with splits with him. >> and thank you, candy and van. and we will look at how washington is changing a series of first. the first african-american congresswoman ever, and also, the youngest woman elected to congress, just 30 years old. anc. everybody knows that. well, did you know certain cartoon characters should never have an energy drink? action! blah-becht-blah- blublublub-blah!!! geico®. introducing the birds of america collection. fifty stunning, hand-painted plates, commemorating the state birds of our proud nation. blah-becht-blah- blublublub-blah!!! geico®. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.
5:36 pm
5:38 pm
welcome back to when the new congress goes back to work in january and whole lot of firsts in the history books with more than 100 women in the house and the senate and including a new woman who will be moving to the senate to replace jay rockefeller. she is going to be west virginia's first female senator. >> and well, west virginia is the first tonight, and west virginia has done it right. i want to be the first to share with you how optimistic i am about the future. this election marks a true turning point in our state's history. it is the first time that you have heard it a couple of times
5:39 pm
tonight, in nearly 60 years that we have sent a republican to the united states senate. >> as we said a lot of congressional firsts, and dana bash with the e details a. big night for women no doubt in congress. >> and yes, a big night for women in that they have gone on the other side of the 100 mark, and still some outside races, and outstanding races, i should say, but at least 101 women across congress in the house and the senate. the senate, it is possible though that there might go down, because there are 20 e female senator, and mary landrieu in louisiana f she loses in a runoff, it will go down to 19, but some perspective. about 100 women in congress, women make up more than 50% of the population, so to get to equity, it would be 267.5 women in congress, so we we have a little bit of a ways to go. >> and milestones for african-americans as well? >> yes, one of the women, nia
5:40 pm
love is a woman who made national headlines when she was featured at the republican convention. she lost her race in utah then, and the this time she won. she is going to be the first e female african-american republican in congress. and so it is going to be a first, and the fact that she is coming from utah which has a black population of i believe less than 1% is pretty amazing. >> and tom cotton who pushed tout incumbent he made history also. >> he did. first of all, he made it so that there does not appear to to be any white democrat in the deep south which of course was the birthplace of the democratic party, and it is all white democrats in the south. that is no longer the case, but for tom cotton, he se going to be the youngest senator. he is 37 years old, and there is one other thing that i can tell
5:41 pm
you about, and i don't know if it is going to make you -- i don't know, roll your eyes or feel old the way it did me, but an d anderson, he is the first senator elected who was born after the bicentennial. >> and he has an incredibly impressive resume as well. >> yes. and he is in a rock band as well. >> and now, in montana, congressman steve danes is going to join me tonight. first first of all, congratulations on the win, and e enormous win, and what message do you believe was sent by the voters in the h historic surge? >> well, last night, it is the first time that a republican has held this seat in 101 years, but the message that i heard was not necessarily that republicans or the democrats are right, but it is just that they want leaders back in washington that get something done. i heard over and over again that the concerns about the gridlock.
5:42 pm
the hyperpolar ized environment back in washington, and the need for leaders to rise above that and move forward with the legislation, and get results for american people. >> and we acted and we talked to the viewers that there is a lot of people who are skeptical that this is going to be producing that, because there was a column in the "national review" titled "the national trap" and the gist is that it is a temptation to do nothing. and the strategy to do nothing is going to put it on the same tea party to be on the same establishment lines that they can divide the party on the same tea party versus establishment lines that republicans have just succeeded in overcoming. if if voters come to believe that a republican congress and a democratic president are doing a fine job wouldn't they vote to continue the arrange ment in 2016?" >> well, it was a chemical
5:43 pm
engineer by degree, and we are trained to solve problems and not go off to argue. and so i spent some time overseas to build businesses for companies, and american people want to return to pragmatism, and to look at how do we move forward with the legislation that starts to improve the economy and deal with the problems that the country is facing. >> is there pressure on the republicans do you believe to prove that they can effectively legislate? for the last several years, the congressional action could be put off in the way that it is democratically controlled? >> and the house passed over 380 bills, and much of it bipartisan support that is sitting on harry reid's desk with the up and dwnn vote, and we can remove that portion of the gridlock but i getting the house and the senate on the same page. >> and you campaigned against obama care, and some of the colleagues like ted cruz are
5:44 pm
pushing for the full repeal of it, and now that you are in the senate, is that a fight that you would join? >> well, i voted for repeal of the obamacare in the house, but the reality going forward is that the president is not going to be signing a repeal of the obamacare piece of legislation, so we have to lock at the pieces of the obamacare in the next two years to address and improve, because we won't get it repealed as long as president obama is in the white house. >> and the fact that according to the exit polls, the americans have negative views and of congress and both party, and the president and the media, and so much more, and what does that tell you? >> that the american people in montana and the country are not enamored with either party. i hope that we can identify a few areas of common ground and we can move legislation quickly in the next few months on behalf of the people who elected us in the first place. >> and again, congratulations,
5:45 pm

5:46 pm
5:49 pm
we have more breaking news tonight. a 22-year-old woman whose abduction was caught on surveillance video, and she has been found alive. you can see the suspect dragging carlesha freeland gaither to the groun ground, and inthe car. and the suspect is in custody, and we will have the latest on her condition in a moment, and how police tracked down the suspect. but first, the victim's mom spoke in philadelphia a short time ago and she is as you can expect, relieved an incredibly thankful. >> i would like to thank everybody. i would like to thank the philadelphia department of police, and the fbi, and the public in philadelphia and especially the public and my family and friends, and thank you so much for having me in
5:50 pm
your prayers and keeping me up, and thank you so much for having me up and i am taking my baby home. >> and jean casarez is joining us. how did the authorities find them? >> well, it is an amazing story, and what we have learned is that they were able to locate the individual because of all of the surveillance video from the atm to the convenient store, and once they located the identity, they were able to locate the vehicle, and trace it to jessup, maryland. they found his car parked to the side of the road, so that the fbi, the atf, the u.s. marshals, they waited, waited until he exited the car. they apprehended him, and rescued her. and that is the amazing part, anderson, because we are right here where she was abducted. this is a family area, and schools in the area, and this is 9:40 on a sunday night, and she
5:51 pm
gets right off of the bus here behind me, and she is walking home. they believe at this point where they believe it is a stranger abduction, and they are beginning to the talk with her, but they believe it is a stranger abduction. >> and wow, she didn't even know him. and how is she? is she taken to the hospital, we understand? >> yes, she is at the hospital, and she has minor injuries, and they are speaking to her slowly. she did speak to the mother on the phone, and she was crying, and very upset and wants her mother. she is 22 years old and a certified nursing assistant here in philadelphia at the local nursing home, and she is beloved by the patients we understand. >> and the suspect is wanted on a warrant for another case here? >> yes, this is amazing that he is wanted in charleston, and another warrant that they are
5:52 pm
want i wanting him for acid assault and chemical can fire, and it is going to be crossing statelines and kidnapping in this case. >> so the murder charges are or attempted murder is for some case that happened previously? >> completely separate case, but it was an outstanding warrant so that this person was on the loose, and they were looking for him, and that is how they arrested him and apprehended him. you know, they must have known that, because today, we were outside of the family's home, and the fbi was inside talking with her mother and aunt for a long time, and we knew that something was coming close, but they would not tell us what. but it culminated tonight that we heard the words "she is alive." >> and the critical piece in this is the videotapes from the atm and elsewhere and the surveillance tapes that people saw and actually called the police about which is the great news in this. >> yes. they said that they got so many
5:53 pm
tip, and i asked the police chief, have you ever in your life seen an actual kidnapping on tape play by play, step by step in your career, and i nkno that i never have, anderson, what i have seen in that videotape. >> and you can see when it started, he seemed to have approached her, and kind of shakes her hand and she kind of shakes his hand tentatively like, she is not sure why this person is coming up to her, and then the attack begins. >> the family says that she is a nice person, and the grandmother who partially raised her said that she is nice and everybody is going to be the friend, and that right there the instinct is to back away and she felt a that she needed to extend the hand and said something that is positive and inviting to her, and it is great news that she has been rescued.
5:54 pm
thank you so much, and joining me on the phone right now is charles ramsey and chief ram circumstances best possible news, and you said that there was a lead today, and everything unfolded today, and can you walk us through how that happened and how you trace and tracked this person down? >> well sh, it did unfold very, very quickly. once we got the tip where this guy might be, and we were able to trace pretty effectively his movements from the time he left philadelphia and into maryland and able to pinpoint it to jessup, maryland. earlier, we had already form eda task force with the fbi and the atf and the u.s. marshall service, and this is the task force out of the baltimore field office that actually located the car and made the arrest. we are just thankful that she is alive. this is a very, very violent predator off tof the streets, ad hopefully off of the streets for a very, very long time.
5:55 pm
>> and as far as you can tell, no connection, and this is a stranger abduction? >> that is the way it looks now, and of course, we are in the process of interviewing here now, but it looks like it is a stranger abduction. he has a history of doing something like this. it was mentioned earlier that he is wanted in virginia for a similar crime. we are looking at this as a stranger case. >> and was there evidence left behind on the street when she was taken? >> yes. her cell phone, glasses, and certainly glass from the vehicle that he was driving that she was able to kick out, and a folding knife, and gloves, and we did get quite a bit of evidence at the scene and that coupled of course with the investigative work that our e detectives and as well as the federal agencies, and the tips from the public, and this is one where the media played a huge role to keep it
5:56 pm
alive and the video out there, and i had not seen anything quite like this. this is where the video showed how vicious the crime was. >> and as far as you can tell, he was acting alone. >> as far as we can tell, but we are beginning the interrogation of him who is in custody. his name by the way is delven barnes, 37 years old. he does have a philadelphia address, ael though he has lived in virginia as well. so we are just beginning to speak with him, and also beginning to interview with her, and we will have a more complete picture in a few hours. >> it is great to talk to you on a occasion where there is a positive outcome like this. and police commissioner charles ramsey, thank you for speaking to us. >> and tonight, we will be live until the 10:00 hour, and we are live from the white house where president obama spoke today. he said that he had heard the voters, and we will hear more of what the president had to say,
5:57 pm
and look at what that means for the president as he tries to work with the republican-controlled congress. we will go to israel as there are new attacks on the israeli troops and others. we will have all of that ahead. take 4 advil in a day or just 2 aleve for all day relief. honey, you did it! baby laughs! man: [ laughs ] those look like baby steps now.
5:58 pm
but they were some pretty good moves. and the best move of all? having the right partner at my side. it's so much better that way.

6:00 pm
6:01 pm
attack. the video is hard to watch, and look for a white van appearing on the lower left side on the screen. this occurred in jerusalem and the man is identified as a member of hamas. and a man was killed in the attack and more people were hit in the attack, about four people hit on the left side of the screen, and the driver of the vehicle was later shot, but you can see the van driven and there is a number of people and one of whom was killed and the border officer, and i want to show you another video now, of a separate incident that took place today at an israeli post in the west bank and just as hard to watch. you can see the two vehicles passing by, and look at the third one mow iing into the cro of people and soldiers standing there and that van had palestinian plates, and three soldiers injured and that van has not been apprehended, and we have had more in this hour, and that is the route yesterday, and
6:02 pm
it is now clear that the republicans did control 52 seats in the senate, and they will have the biggest majority in the house since world war ii the. and the gop will hold the mansions across the country, and today, the president said that it was a pretty good night for republicans. at a press conference he held for about 90 minutes when he pledged to work with the republicans, but he also drew some line s s in the stand. michelle kosinski joins me, and go through with me what he said. >> well, you have to look through the loss with a somber look, and that part of the loss is due in part because of him. >> and what stands out to me is that the american people sent a message, and so to everyone who voted, i want you to know that i hear you, and to the 2/3 of voters who chose not the participate in the voters
6:03 pm
yesterday, i hear you, too. >> and so the message is that we have to actively work out to work with republicans and sit down and work with the common ground and finally get certain things done, and you have to ask, well, that is great, but why couldn't that have been done before when so many of the bills, confirmations, et cetera, have been stalled? but as much as he is talking compromise, he he is definitely on the toughest issues, immigration, health care, and saying that there are lines that he is not going to let the republicans cross, anderson. >> and that is it, because he is threatening the executive a action on immigration which is a bombshell towards republicans. >> well, it is something that you are hearing both ways, and leading up to the election, you are hearing president obama slam the republicans repeatedly for not moving on immigration, but this is what he said today. >> i will be reaching out to both the mitch mcconnell and john boehner and other republicans and democratic leaders to find out how it is that they want to proceed, and if they want to get a bill done, whether it is in the lame duck or next year, i'm eager to to
6:04 pm
see what -- eager to see what they have the offer, but i am not going to just wait. >> and we are seeing the same tone on health care, and he is willing to sit down and listen to the ideas, and find the common ground and see what is going to work, but on the immigration in particular, and he is saying that he is go g ino take executive action and give a path to citizenship to possibly millions of undocumented immigrants in america, which millions support, but this has rankled the republicans to the maximum. so he is saying that he is going to do this unless congress comes up with something else, and he saying, i will do this unless they do something, but then again, they can pass something later to supersede my executive action, but he is going to do this he says, and it is going to happen before the end of the year, anderson. >> and it is a day for him to talk to the reporters for a change. >> yes. >> and thank you, michelle kosinski.
6:05 pm
i want to bring in john king and candy crowley and gloria borger. and john, what incentive does the president have to compromise? he is not running for reelection and not going to be up in two years, and he has the legacy to be concerned about and what is the incentive? >> well, it is the incentive is the legacy and not the be labeled as some people did before the sun came up, and let al lope before it goes down to be a lame duck. he is a democrat, and he believes in activist government and believes in using the government to do things, and how long do the republicans have on issues like immigration, tax reform, and we could have the other issue, how long of a leash does the president have if he tried to cut a deal on the entitlements like medicare, and would elizabeth warren and others go to the floor of the united states senate like ted cruz did when he was in the minority and say, no. and you have heard the word today, how long will the kumbaya
6:06 pm
last. >> yes, gloria, how much incentive do the republicans have to cooperate with the president, because they are interpret i interpreting the results as we need to fight the president the every step of the way? >> well, there is another sentiment and that is anti-washington sentiment, and people want a government that works for them, and 8 of 10 people do not belief that the government does work for them, and they want a competent government, and they do not believe that president obama did lead a competent government, and the incentive for the government as they lead into 2016, it is to say, when we controlled one branch of government, we got these three things done, and the public expects them to come up with the ideas. they don't expect them to write love sonnets to the president or agree with him on everything, a but they have to tell the american public what they stand for and what they are willing to do and can accomplish. >> and candy, the "national review" there was an editorial
6:07 pm
where they are basically saying, don't do anything, the republicans are saying, don't do anything with a compromise with the president over the next year, because you don't want the message in 2016, because we cannot wocan work together and why not just e elect another democratic president. >> well, there are a numbers of ways to parse this, and what is going to best position the republicans and the democrats, but i do think that there is an opportunity for them to do something here. i don't believe it is going to be a big something. i don't believe that despite the verbiage that we have heard today that willing to work, and reaching out, and well, we are going to talk to them, and all of that, but i don't think that from either side we heard that to me anything said that we are going to be doing this. what is most interesting to me about what the president had to say is that the number of times that he mentioned how many times people didn't vote which is to me saying, you don't have a
6:08 pm
mandate, because two-thirds of the people didn't show up. and you are listening to mitch mcconnell and how they are going to approach it. so i did not find the rhetoric today all that comforting if you are looking for different attitudes going in. >> and john, he said he would not mind getting a glass of bourbon with mitch o'connell or hanging out with tip o'neill, and get a drink together, and do they have a relationship the president and speaker boehner? >> no. because speaker boehner believes he went back on the word of the grand negotiation, and that is the lack of trust there. and joe biden has a good relationship there with speaker boehner, and if there are negotiations to be had, and we have it what candy said, they
6:09 pm
just offered kind words and not this, this, this, and the issues are complicated, because the republicans have a base and the democrats have a base that they won't be loyal to the president, and democrats after this election, they blame the president, and blame his rhetoric and the policies and is it fair? who knows, but they do. and so when things happen that they don't like, you have the democrats in the house and the senate willing to break with the president, and hillary clinton on the sidelines watching thises white house very, very carefully. >> and they are not talking about working together on the president obama's big legacy issue which is, you know, immigration reform which he still said today that he intends to issue the executive order on that sometime in the new year, they are talking about smaller things, you know, repairing roads and bridges which is of course what they should be doing or doing some kind of trade e deals or the corporate tax reform, but they are not talking about shifting the party one way or another.
6:10 pm
they are just looking for a few areas in which they might actually find something to agree on. >> and candy, if there is a supreme court va can circumstances all bets are off? >> well, sure, but the supreme court nominations, you have seen both parties get behind the nominees, but it may change who the president picks, but the fact is that for supreme court nominees, the senate rules still do allow the filibusters, et cetera, so i don't think that the supreme court nominees are what may change. maybe judges get more stalled, because the republicans have, you know, in charge of all of the committees including the judiciary, but that is not the big thing here. i they the big thing here going to be whether they do any big thing, and they do it in the time left which is not much. >> not much at all. >> thank you, candy, and gloria
6:11 pm
and john is going to stick around. set your dvr to watch "360" whenever you want. and john is going to unpack the eggs for us about who voted and who didn't, and how did that factor into the republican rout? 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.
6:13 pm
toasty or frosty? exactly the way you want it ... until boom, it's bedtime! your mattress is a battleground of thwarted desire. enter the sleep number bed. right now, you can save $400 on the c4 mattress set. he's the softy. his sleep number setting is 35. you're the rock, at 60. silent night not so silent? elk bellow sleep number's even got an
6:14 pm
adjustment for that. give the gift of amazing sleep, only at a sleep number store. where you'll find our lowest price ever on the c4 queen mattress -just $1499.98. know better sleep with sleep number. there is no secret that the democrats who lost yesterday maded a conscious decision to distance themselves from the president on the campaign trail, and this is what the president said about that choice.
6:15 pm
>> i love campaigning. i love talking to ordinary people. i love listening to their stories. i love shaking hands and getting hugs and just seeing the process of democracy in citizenship manifest itself in an election. but i'm also a practical guy. ultimately, every candidate out there had to make their own decisions about what they thought would be the most helpful for them. >> and whether or not giving the cold shoulder to the president helped or hurt is perhaps up for debate, and the exit polls may give us more information for that. and john king is there to unpack the data. >> well, anderson, when you had a night as badly as last night for the democrats, let's just focus on the senate. when you look at the big swing that we had, it is likely to grow as in alaska and louisiana
6:16 pm
where there is a runoff in a month, and virginia likely to stay in the democratic hands, but 53 republican senators up from 45, and people look at the map and say, what happened? well, could the president have helped in colorado? he was pushed away, but he won it twice. and how about in iowa? he won there twice, but he was pushed away. and how about over on the east earn seaboard, kay hagan pushed him away there, and she lost. and now, 12% african-american, and 8% latino, and remember the years. fewer whites and more african-americans and fewer latinos a. white electorate was better for republicans. and this is also important that yesterday 51% women and 49% men
6:17 pm
and remember it as the midterm electorate, and look at the presidential, and you may not think it is differential, but it is. look at this. and this is age, yesterday, look at the small slice of the 18 to 29 and the bigger slice of 65 and older, and these voters are mostly democrat and republican, and look at this, the younger, the democrats, and a smaller chunk of older voters for republican. and the turnout yesterday tilted in favor of republican. and look at north carolina, 74% white and 21% african-american, and in the 2014 presidential election, it was higher. could the president have gone to north carolina ginned it up? well, that is a question that people will ask for a long time. and when you look at the numbers of the electorate and the outcome of the map, you wonder if he could have helped more, but you know that after this election, the democrats whether the president campaigns for them
6:18 pm
or not, they are directing the blame to the white house. >> and thank you, john. and joining me is van jones and stephanie cutter and anana v n o navarro, political strategists. and so, van, if there were more presence of the president, could he have pushed the african-american vote without infuriating and getting more people out to the polls without affe affecting the vote? >> well, it is not that he was not just missed, but he was dissed. you had alison lundergan grimes who would not admit to whether or not she voted for him. >> that just made her not look
6:19 pm
authentic or squirrely. >> yes, and offensive to many americans at the grass roots level. and so this is a situation where this president for a lot of the people who came out not popular, and here is the opportunity that was missed. if you are going to be running away from the president, what do you run to? they dissed the commander in chief, and then abandoned him, and then to what? running to the national agenda on the student debt? something for criminal justice? you are just dissing and running away from the president, and that is why you did not see the base come out. >> and stephanie, paul begala said that it would not have helped, but hurt to have the president coming out to come the places in fact where he did not do so well. >> well, in fact for the senate races, it is not as if the ads were going to go down any time soon that kay hagan or bruce braley or the other democrats voted with president obama 95% of the time or 97% or 99%,
6:20 pm
because those were the ads that the republicans were running over and over again that were damaging to the democrats, and particularly for in terms of the driving out the republican vote, but also reaching into the middle vote. now, would it have helped if the president went in and rallied african-americans or rallied the hispanics in colorado kro or made it more clear of the differences between the immigration can policies of cory gardner and senator udall? i think it could have helped, because the differences were muddied towards the end of the election, and the republicans were skilled at muddying the waters. i think that when the new senate, republican majority takes over, the differences are going to become much more clear, but it was a tribute to the republicans, because they were smart at how they did it, and putting the president out could have helped to make the disting shubs more clear to given our
6:21 pm
people more reasons to come can out to vote. >> and ana, in terms of the minority voters, and we have talked about it a lot in our coverage, but the african-american voters and the latino voters and the young and women voters, how does the parr ti win the white house without a broader coalition? >> well, we look at colorado and how they started to chip it a wway away, and a lot of the credit should be to the rnc, because they sent a lot of bodies to the ground there to do the outreach and to do the work and make the calls that were targeted ads and money was spent, and time was spent and the u.s. chamber of commerce had jeb bush doing ads in spanish for cory gardner, and so instead of taking it for granted and seeing it as h mission impossible a lot of the effort and the time and the money was sent at chipping away at the hispanic gap in colorado and frankly they did have
6:22 pm
success to be built on. and republicans realized that running against obama was a good message. and democrats only made it worse and made it a self-fulfilling prophecy by running away from obama. it became a bigger issue, because both sides were doing it, and running on the same narrative. >> and it is -- >> i agree with that. >> and it is terrible that i have to agree with you on this. i agree. >> and don't worry, because there is medication that you can tak take. >> and you know, ana, it is showing weakness and cowardice when you won't stand with the leader of your own party that you will have an economy that is healing and gas prices down and the stock market is higher than it has been in a long time and you have things that you can agree with and i want to tell you what i can do next and when you show that cowardice, you

the gop does have control of the house and the senate come january and will president obama work with the republicans or will it be business as usual and nothing actually gets done. dana bash takes a look. >> reporter: the president missed the first congratulatory call, but then they finally connected. >> it was a very congratulatory call and i appreciated the the call. >> reporter: but with the gop responsibility is the responsibility to govern, and mcconnell said he gets that. >> i think that we have to start with the view that maybe there is some things that we can agree on. >> reporter: but he said that he can't aggravate the gop base by taking action on immigration. >> and it is like waving a red flag in front of a bull to the
6:28 pm
say that if you guys don't do what i want, i will do it on my own. >> reporter: and in fact, before mcconnell cuts deals with the democrats, he has to contend with the unruly fellow republicans including joni ernst who would not commit to voting for mcconnell for leader. >> well, i am trying to get through my own election. >> that will be decided next week. >> and let me make a prediction for you, i will be the speaker of the house next week. >> reporter: and several candidates are eyeing a are run for the white house. and including rubio, rand paul, and ted cruz and many others. >> i have served in a class of
6:29 pm
ambitious members. >> reporter: and republicans will set the agenda and hold votes on the pet issue likes the keystone pipeline, but more votes means more vetoes and more gridlock. since he has had congressional democrats to the block the policies, obama has only had to e veto two bills in six years. and it means more work. >> and the senate stands adjourneded. >> reporter: but not so fast, because mcconnell says they will be staying in washington for a five-day work week just like the rest of us. >> five-day work week? that is a start. >> and can the republicans get something done? joining us are david gergen and rich galen who e knows the divide in washington all too wail well serving as newt gingrich's house speaker in the
6:30 pm
1990s, and peter, does anything actually get done here? >> well, it seems unlikely. you saw mitch mcconnell say that basically he would blow up the process for obama to move on immigration reform. >> and the executive action. >> well, the big unknown is what obama would do on the keystone pipeline, and the republicans have a filibuster-proof majority of that, and obama has not shown the cards yet on that, so that is up with thing, but the executive action on the immigration, and the republicans' efforts to repeal parts of obamacare will blow up any chance early. >> and so, looking back on the days of newt gingrich look back fondly and say that president clinton reach ed out and able t make some deals with newt gingrich and do you see any sign of that now happening? >> well, the way i looked at it when i was watching the coverage this afternoon, anderson, it appeared to me especially on the immigration thing, i was talking to newt here at the studio, and
6:31 pm
i said, you know, it reminded me of the opening gambit in a labor negotiation, you take your hardest line and i will take my hardest line and then over the course of time. >> and so when the president is talking about executive action, it is the hardest line? >> yes sh, the president no mat what, he wants to leave the office with the head held high and he cannot as hard as he was trying this afternoon, and boehner and mcconnell as other people have said on this network are e negotiators and legislators, and you know, the negotiation, and the the compromise is not a four-letter word. the constitution of the united states is one long compromise. >> and david, do you see that as a bargaining position? >> i don't see it as a bargaining position. and the president took a hard-line and he said that he is going to sign the executive order, and it is going to inf r infuhriate the republicans, and they will see it as a declaration of war.
6:32 pm
i think that he personally should have given the republicans six months and if they could not work it out then move ahead with the executive order. two things at stake here. can the congress work with the president to get it done and that is the big issue to talk about, and secondly, this is a ramp-up to the 2016 elections, and one of the issues in the 2016 election s s is who is mor responsible at governing, and that is something that the senate has not seen before, and maybe, give them six months and see if they are willing to play or not, and just obstructionists and try to shove it down his throat, and then he has the public with him. you know, before we go to war, it is often a good idea to have the diplomats to have all of the efforts they can do talk to the parties and then you go to the conflict, and say as jim baker did on kuwait a few years ago, and so in this this situation, the president and the republicans are served well to check it out to go the last mile and if they break it down, the other side gets the blame.
6:33 pm
>> and peter? >> well, that is why i think that the opening gambits that they will have lunch friday, david, and see if anything comes out the other end. >> and the democratic calculus is different. the democrats are will suffer much more if the government doesn't do anything, and the republicans have consistently under mitch mcconnell decided to do fine if government is gridlocked, because after all, they have run against washington, and the senate doesn't make a difference and most americans don't know they control the sent senate, and barack obama has to do something on immigration reform to make american americans happy. >> and it is a problem for the republicans to show that they can work with the democratic president because it sends the message to the public that you don't have to elect a republicant president, because it can work this way. >> well, anderson, there has to be a number of breakthroughs, because there is a number of
6:34 pm
issues that they cannot agree, and there is a sense that washington is not working the way it could, but to peterr's point, peter, conservatives are gai against the status quo, and they would like to unwind it and reduce the bureaucracy and unwind the regulations, and so they have some interest in the change as well. it is different change than what the democrats want. >> and peter biernrt the and david gergen and paul. >> and you can see the people there on the left side of the screen who were run over by a van and injured and then hours later, there was video at a post in the west bank that injured several people. we will talk about that ahead. killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture everyday.
