senate in mid-term election disaster for them. the president insisting he's even willing to partake in some fine kentucky boush within the likely new senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell. the president and leaders of both sides of the aisle will meet tomorrow. so let's bring in jim acosta. the president sounds as though he's ready to compromise, but there's still a defiant streak as well. what's happening there? >> that's right. after the messy mid-terms, president obama offered no apologies and no signs of any major shake-ups for his administration. instead, plenty of indications he'll be putting heads with his incoming majority leader, mitch mcconnell. a dejected president obama admitting defeat to republicans. there was no glossing over the bitter reality for democrats. >> they want us to get the job

done. as president, i have a unique responsibility to try to make this town work. >> his party stung and in the minority, the president said he's ready to compromise with republicans on road repairs, reforming the tax code and brokering new trade deals. but as quickly he says he's going it alone on immigration reform. >> i'm eager to see what they have to offer. but what i'm not going to do is just wait. my executive actions not only do not prevent them from passing a law that supersedes those actions, but should be a spur for them to actually try to get something done. >> the vow to act is pitting him against the new republican senate leader, mitch mcconnell. >> it's like waving a red flag in front of a bull to say, if you guys don't do what i want, i'm going to do it on my own. >> aides to mr. obama saying the president is bullish about his final quarter in the white house, devising new ways to go around congress to build up his legacy and he's not letting the

countdown clock stall his agenda. >> what do you make of the notion that you're now a lame duck. >> i'm going to squeeze every last little bit of opportunity to help make this a world a better place over the last two years. >> with a republican-controlled congress making moves on those wishes won't be easy. some critics say the president should get to know his reefls better over dinner or golf. with few allies left in power, he may be warming to the idea. >> i would enjoy having some kentucky bourbon with mitch mcconnell. >> couldn't we all? aides to the president say he'll be meeting with 16 democratic and republican leaders from capitol hill at the white house, they'll have a big agenda on their hands, from the war against isis, talking about the president's call for congressional authorization for the funding on isis. it will be the first time americans get do see whether or not anybody got the message from tuesday night. >> it's interesting whether the

president means he wants to spend some time or just needs a drink. let's bring in john avalon and margaret hoover, republican consultant. we got the president's side, just as important, probably more so is the other site of the equation. let's play a little bit of the presumptive leader, mitch mcconnell, what he had to say about what he wants to do in the senate. let's play it to set the table. >> the first thing i need to do is to get the senate back to normal. that means working more, i don't think we've had any votes on friday in anybody's memory. it means opening the senate up. so that amendments are permitted on both sides. and it means occasionally burning the midnight oil in order to reach a conclusion. >> sounds great. margaret, here's one thing, we want to go forwards, i get it. leadership, okay? governing is leadership. leadership is often accountability. don't you think there should be

some ownership of, and the reason all of this has been going on, is because we did it. we're not going to do that any more. we're going to do things differently on the republican side. doesn't he need to say that? instead of making it seem that just is how the senate is? >> he didn't run the senate. >> but he was helping the obstructionist movement. >> yeah, he did. exactly he was leading the obstructionist movement. that was his stated strategy and goal for the first few years of the obama administration. his stated strategy and goal now is to get something done. who is the master of the senate? who is brought in to work with, with vice president biden when the leader of the senate couldn't get anything done with the president? that was mitch mcconnell. this man has a very sophisticated tactical understanding and strategic understanding of how that institution works. >> sure. or doesn't work. >> whether you like the obstruction tactic or not, he successfully implemented with only a 40, 42 senators and was able to effectively execute that

strategy. now his strategy is something very different. my guess is he'll be effective in executing and getting the senate working again, as he said. >> let's put aside the situational ethics which are odious, i'll obstruct as long as it's in my interest and then try to govern and lead when it it's in my interest. in his press conference, he did try to take a statesman-like role. did he talk about reforming and opening the rules of the president and work with the president on issues of agreement. that's a good sign. the problem is the whole institution is going to need to put the bad blood behind them. focus on modest goals, which i think exist, where they can move the ball forward. economic trade, tax reform, infrastructure. they're going to need a big bourbon summit. a goblet of bourbon to get over that bad blood. >> i'm a lot more optimistic. >> i've seen mitch mcconnell

work the last several years. >> or not work. >> that's what he was doing, quite effectively. >> it's just, it's moronic to say it's effective obstruction. that's all i'm saying. >> i appreciate that that's how most americans feel. and i get that. and i empathize with that. you know and there are some you know in the weeds tactics of how these institutions work. >> if harry reid tries to do the same thing, are you going to be angry? >> he can try, the problem is he's not as good at his job. >> senator lindsay graham had some interesting suggestions for ways to move forward. he takes a different tact. listen to this. >> test us in 2015, don't go it alone. work with me and others to replace the defense cuts under sequestration that are destroying our ability to defend the country. i'd like to do a mini simpson-bowles deal. i told him, be patient, invite people down. you're an engaging fellow, it's hard not to like the president, but he's a very distant figure

in washington. get that behind you and unleash joe biden. everybody likes joe. >> unleash joe biden. for the next two years. >> release the hounds. >> that's his suggestion. >> that's a metaphor. here's the thing. if you're lindsay graham, newly re-elected, really speaking a bit of compassionate common sense. the president is likable, but is remote in washington. lindsay graham riffed a lot politically to pass bipartisan congressional reform. so let's see what we can get done. the danger is the red flag in front of a bull is, if you don't do, if you don't do something quick on immigration, i'm going to do executive action. so lindsay graham is giving good advice to the president. >> you guys should do it, we should do it together, but if you don't, this is what i'm going to do is not the kind of olive branch you know good era of good feeling. >> what about starting with the war?

how about starting with convening something that should be in everybody's interest. you've allowed a war to be begun by the president, which is a bigger assumption of constitutional authority by the president of anything he could do on immigration. and they just let it happen. how about having a debate, have a vote. so the american people know what the hell is going to happen. >> and congress needs to authorize action and authorize spending this is what mitch mcconnell is talking about when he says we're going to have to burn the midnight oil. >> he didn't mention a war vote. >> but everybody knows that's exactly probably the first thing that's going to happen. >> that that was promised when they punted until after the election, that was the promise, but no one in washington is going to touch that. it is an area where republican leadership and the president have a lot of overlap. as long as they both try to be constructive. but let me tell you, man, the gutless wonders on capitol hill are going to want to hide from that one again. >> it's a "new day" in washington, we'll see if it really day is, all around.

john, margaret, thanks, good to see you guys. officials say a palestinian man has turned himself in to israeli security forces claiming he was the driver who ran over three soldiers in the west bank. the attack happened wednesday, a white van slamming into the soldiers. in a similar attack, another van drove into a crowd in jerusalem. erin mcgloughlin is following developments. >> surveillance footage shows the moment a palestinian man drove into a tram station. he crashes his van and continues the attack on foot. israeli forces shoot him dead. 13 people are injured. a border police officer was killed. >> there was no intelligence that a terrorist attack was going to take place here. obviously we're looking to see 23 he was a lone terrorist or was sent. >> the suspect is identified as 38-year-old palestinian ibrahim alakari. the attacks are part of a wave of violence. that same day, late in the night, surveillance footage show

that's her name, she is already out of the hospital. the incident drew national attention of course after it was captured on surveillance video. the question is how did police track down the suspect and the victim? we're going to speak with the philadelphia police commissioner in a moment. let's get to cnn's jean casarez who has the latest developments for us from maryland. jean, we got to be honest, this rarely happens. surprising good news. >> chris this case has so many things that rarely happen. carlesha freeland-gaither, 22 years old, a certified nurse's aide was released from the hospital behind me a few hours ago. the first time that law enforcement ever remember seeing a kidnapping on tape, videotape, her family now says this is a miracle. >> carlesha freeland-gaither has been rescued. >> a philadelphia woman kidnapped on sunday, now found alive. carlesha freeland-gaither was rescued in jessup, maryland

wednesday, after authorities identified the vehicle used in her abduction and tracked it down. law enforcement spotted them inside, and surrounded the car. >> when the subject exited the vehicle, he was apprehended and that's when miss freeland was recovered. >> once she had the time to process what had occurred, you could tell she was very emotionally distraught. so as a result. we took her immediately to the hospital. >> police identifying her kidnapper as 37-year-old delven barnes, he is currently being held on attempted capital murder charges in another case. >> all of our prayers were answered when we were able to locate her in a safe condition. and we were able to place this male under arrest. >> overnight, barnes' uncle speaking out, saying he is not surprised. >> my experience and knowledge of him, is a thing about women and females. it's hard for me to accept the viciousness of it. not necessarily surprised. >> the 22-year-old nurse was abducted sunday night in

philadelphia. just blocks away from her home. this disturbing video captures her kidnapping from beginning to end. the suspect parks his car and waits. and approaches her as she walks across this intersection. she tries to walk away, when the man grabs her and aggressively drags her down the length of this block. she struggles to break free and yells for help. but he violently pushes her into his vehicle. the next morning surveillance video capture as man dressed much like the kidnapper, using carlesha's atm card at a bank in maryland. he's also spotted inside this convenience store shortly after. investigators do not have a motive. but say there is no indication she knew her abductor. her mother thanking law enforcement and the public, grateful for their part in bringing her daughter back safe. >> thank you for being there for us. i'm taking my baby home.

thank you. >> and delven barnes is being held right here in maryland. and out of state warrant out of virginia for attempted capital murder, assault and malicious injury with explosives, acid or fire. carlesha right now is being reunited with her family. alisyn? >> what a wonderful and unusual outcome. jean casarez, thanks for all of that background. and joining us is the commissioner of the philadelphia police department, charles ramsey. good morning, commissioner. >> good morning. >> what a relief for your department. can you give us more details about how this rescue happened? >> well, we are relieved. i mean this is an unusual case in a lot of ways. i heard your reporter mention earlier that it's unusual for this to be captured on video and that's very, very true. i've been on the job 46 years, first time i've ever seen a kidnapping actually on videotape. which really was horrific to watch it unfold.

we're very fortunate that we were able to recover her, and apprehend the offender. a lot of police work went into it. a lot of tips from the public. but we were able to track it down. and we were able to successfully get her out of his custody and back to with her family. >> congratulations. now when i watch this video as it's playing on our screen, all i see is sort of a dark you know, hooded figure dragging a woman down the street. how was the public able to identify this guy? >> well the first video was not a very good video. unless you really knew the person well, you wouldn't be able to tell exactly who it was. but we were able to after he used the atm card, we certainly had a photograph from that. we were able to locate some video from a convenience store. we actually found a scene where some items were discarded that belonged to her. a receipt was found there. so we were able to back-track.

it was a grocery store in philadelphia. we pulled video from there, very good video, we got that out. the media was a great help to us, because by putting that video out, we got a phone call from a person who sold this individual a car. and from that, we were able to trace the car, we were able to then contact charles city, who they had an outstanding warrant for this individual. and things started falling in place very quickly and we were able to track him to jessup maryland and rescue miss gaither. >> it is wonderful when the police and the media form that partnership. it is so powerful. so has anyone spoken, in your department to miss gaither yet? how is she doing? and i don't have to tell you how unusual it is to find a missing woman more than 48 hours after she's been abducted. what was, what were his plans for her? >> well we don't know what his plans were.

but based on information from virginia with the previous case he was involved in, it probably was not going to be a very good outcome. so it's good that we found her as quickly as we did. fbi, atf, u.s. marshals, there was a task force put together to deal with this. our detectives drove the family down to howard county hospital, reuniting miss gaither with her family. she is now home in philadelphia. we brought her back last night and then we'll begin interviewing her to get more detail once she has a chance to kind of settle down a little bit. >> well, great work commissioner ramsey. thanks so much for sharing the details with us, i'm so happy that the police department and the public were able to come together to rescue her. great job. >> well thank you. let's go over to chris. i got to tell you, alisyn, you and i both have to deal with it, trying to figure out what seat to put your kid in. trying to get the right one. all we care about is safety. there's a new best and worst list out for booster seats.

you're looking at video of how different types of booster seats are supposed to work. because seat belts as we know, they're made for adults, a good child seat really is supposed to

insure that the seat belt fits properly. if it doesn't, it may rest too much on the child's neck or it may not fit properly over the lap and that leaves the child vulnerable. so three seats that failed the test. here they are diano olympia high back, diano pacifica high back and kids embrace batman no back booster. those are the ones that the safety group says they do not recommend. so if you want to get the full list, they have their website. iihs.org. to see a full list there. but the headline, if you have one of those three seats, you do not want to use them. chris? >> all right. important information. i'm sure we'll put it on the website to check what they have in their cars and make sure they have the right thing for their kids, the whole reason we have the booster seat in the first place. rene, thank you very much. following tuesday's mid-term elections, more than a third of all voters said they would vote

is slams clinton for her politics and history. it kols as members of the republican party point to her for failing to help candidates get elected. we have the author here and elise vback a staff writer for the hill. i want to get deeply into the piece. the poll comes out elise, 34% says i'm going to vote for hillary. 40% says i'll vote for any gop candidate basically. do you think that the numbers that this is really not about the party any more. it's just about hillary? >> it is. i think her brand is extremely strong at that point. if i were working in her camp i would be happy to see those numbers. listen, we talk about hillary in the media like she's inevitable. because in large part she is. we do expect her to run and likely win the white house, it will be hard for republicans to mount a candidate to be as competitive as she will.

let's face it, the clintons are a known quantity. at this stage in american politics, i think voters are looking for someone who like as not, they can understand, that's battle-tested and that's ready to go and that's hillary clinton. >> now there's a completely opposite take you could have on this, elise, which is she's at 34 and she's stuck there. because she can't get through likeability. and charisma. to that next level. that's what her opponents will say. what's that take on these numbers? >> well, also, she's not, i think people are not in the mood for the status quo, she very much represents the kind of politic that's been dominant in this country for 30 years. people are tired of it. people p flail from election result to election result. >> very interesting thing here, you see reagan, you see bush, you see clinton, you see obama, you see different names but same games. >> pretty much. we've seen the market-friendly, you know, tough kind of politics

that have presided over intense polarization of american society, between rich and poor. mass alienation from politics we see. and i think she's the wrong person to deal with that. she's very much the status quo and i think people are tired of the status quo, even if they can't figure out what they're tired of or why. they don't want more of the same. >> it's a counternarrative that doug lays out in the piece, he does a lot of digging into her past. i don't know if you've seen it, the basic premise is, she ain't different. yes, she's a woman, but she ain't different. she does the same types of things that have got us into the politician situation we're in right now. >> that's exactly right andky understand doug's point that there are a lot of american vote who are are alienated. we see the inertia in american politics, we don't typically see people going for a totally different candidate. particularly with the number of crises we're seeing around the world, a lot of people are going to shrug their shoulders and say, i don't really like hillary clinton, i have problems with

the clintons, they're almost pathologically ambitious, extremely opportunistic, everyone in washington and around the country knows that. but at the same time i think they're going to get the votes. because in maybe a twisted way, they do have people's confidence. >> votes, but enough votes? if you read this article, you're going to think about it twice. one of the things you put in here about how she is more of the same is about how the clintons have somewhat of an empire have gotten rich off their situation. those numbers are right, $2 billion do $3 billion. >> are you including donations to the clinton global initiative? >> but that's part of the family business, the family business is politics. >> but that's charity, that's not money in their pockets. >> it's a way to buy connection, influence, exposure. did doesn't hurt for a rich person or a corporation to be associated with the clintons, they have a lot of star power, it's a good investment from a corporate point of view. but aggregate all of these contributions, we're talking billions of dollars. i've seen people estimate that

hillary would need $1 billion or more to run her presidential campaign. $1 billion. >> need versus want is a whole different discussion about money and politics. fair point, full disclosure, you don't like hillary clinton as a candidate? >> true. >> full disclosure, if i had bet you that somebody of this status was writing a long piece for harper's about why he doesn't like hillary clinton, how much money would you have laid that he would have mentioned benghazi? >> no money at all. >> would you say it was definitely in there, right? >> i wouldn't actually. no, it's true. i would not expect him to mention benghazi, because again, we don't see that conflict anywhere but on the right. really benghazi is a fox news sort of issue. and for the wider electorate, i think it's hard to see whether that will really play. i think republicans will certainly try, but they can make a stronger case against hillary clinton by mentioning some of the things that doug mentioned. which are the past scandals that the clintons have been involved

with. the problems with her brand. the vast amounts of money. her alliance with corporate interests, the whole thing. that's huge case you can make against the clintons without mentioning benghazi. >> you're obviously right. because penwood did the same thing, he didn't mention benghazi. i thought it would be in anything trying to assail hillary clinton. >> whitewater. every time you do whitewater, the media rolls its eyes. the media who wants to defend hillary clinton or your defenders in general. the facts there mattered, she kind of got a pass. why do you think it's worth going back? >> the original scandal might not have been much. but the fact is she approached the thing as it got uncovered with her traditional strategies of lying and deception. and half-truths. she has a real -- the billing records, she said she did no work for the bank involved in whitewater, which meant that she

was doing business with the state. >> that would be -- >> along with the conflicts of interest. the billing records were in vince foster's office, removed after his suicide. disappeared for a year and a half or two years. suddenly they reappear one day in the white house residence in a room controlled by hillary. a library of sorts. very mysterious that they should disappear and reappear. if that were just a regular person facing multiple federal investigations. they would be in big trouble. >> not a good fact. thank you very much. this is a different way of looking at her in this piece, worth reading, thank you very much. thanks for coming here. >> appreciate it very much. alisyn? >> what did john stewart mean to say in his interview with cnn? our christiane amanpour sat down with the daily show host during which he made a bombshell admission and now he's apologizing, christianne is here with all the details.

what jon stewart was responding to was your question that he didn't vote, he seemed to admit during the mid-term elections he did not vote. and christiane, you sat down with him to talk about a movie

that he's involved with it came out during the interview that you asked him, did you vote. and he said no, i don't even know where my polling place is. >> yeah and of course, jon stewart is what? a comedian and jon stewart was joking. there's no way that, okay this is my opinion, this there's no way that somebody as public as jon stewart as public as he is about civil duty, would ever not vote. he admitted that he had been flip and it got him into trouble and of course he voted and he knew where his thing was. >> can we play that exchange? we clipped the top of it. it didn't sound like he was joking. let's play one more time the part where he says he didn't vote. tell me if you think it sounds like a joke. >> did you vote? >> no. >> no? >> i just moved. i don't even know where my thing is now. >> really? >> i moved to a different state. i can't divulge. >> i don't think he wants people to know where he lived. he moved, voting and registration -- i think, it's

interesting. >> did you see what he did on his own show? >> he said he been flip and he -- >> the irony, he got stewarted. you know what i mean? it wasn't your intention, no question about that. but this is kind of what he does to other people. >> this is my take. my question for you on this. i always say about jon stewart that people take him too seriously. he's a comedian. he shouldn't be pretending he's a journalist. >> i don't think he does pretend. >> he walks a line. >> do you think this is an example of, hey, he's not a leader, he's a comedian, treat him like that. >> i think he would say that. in fact i asked him about his influence in the real world outside the satire news desk and he just doesn't accept it. he says that i am what i am. i'm not a real journalist. i'm a satirist, i'm a comedian. think we need to understand that. i mean look, i strongly believe that he was joking, he was being flip. and i think that he wouldn't have said that he didn't vote, if he was being serious.

that's simply what i feel about that. and he said as much on his own show. but i think that one thing we haven't quite internalized is quite how serious he is, obviously as an observer of our culture and as a relentless fun-poker. we need that in culture, right? but what he's turned his hand to and the reason for my interview was this new film that he is coming out with. >> he feels very passionately about it. >> very passionately. the film called "rosewater" it opens next friday and i was stunned by how amazing this film is it's about a journalist who goes to cover the disputed election in 2009. the big bad ahmadinejad, the green revolution that was smashed, the hope of the iranian people at that time. and a journalist, many journalists were jailed, including bahari, the british-iranian who was a friend of the daily show, who had done some skits for "the daily show." out of that came the book, jon

liked the book, jon helped him get it produced and decided this was going to be his first vehicle as a first-time movie director. and you know, i was very, very surprised by how serious, how true to life with, a little comedy, because the whole thing is beabsurd. it's kafka-esque. my colleagues in turkey, egypt, everywhere. are in jail all over the world. as he rightly pointed out, this administration has a lot of american journalists under huge pressure. james risen of the "new york times" threatened to go to jail because of refusing to divulge his sources, that's ordinary reporting. >> how do you think the movie is going to be received? >> because of what we expect of jon stewart, right? >> again i think it's amazingly counterintuitive for the general public. people who know him as a comedian, as a, as a satirist. i think that people will be really surprised at his interest in this topic and his take on

it. plus of course, it does have the world's most handsome heartthrob gael garcia bernal. he is truly amazing and again we all ask ourselves what would happen, how would we endure being in solitary confinement, being abused, on the verge of torture, threatened with death. you don't know whether your wife knows what's happened to you. the world knows what happened to you. he was blindfolded for practically the entire four months. and the idea is to deny every single sensibility. all your senses. >> but i want to get back to the interview with jon stewart. >> oh, alisyn. >> this is what took off, what took off was that his legion of followers said what? you were in the room. so i trust your instincts. >> but watching it on the monitor, it seems like you've caught him. it seems like you've caught him.

inadvertently. >> he caught himself. >> it seems like he didn't know ha his polling place was. i want to play his apology. this is what he said after that. >> just to set the record straight. dy vote today, i did know where my booth was. i was being flip. and it kind of took off. and i, you know, i want to apologize. because i shouldn't have been flip about that. because i think i wasn't clear enough that i was kidding and it sent a message that i didn't think voting was important or that i didn't think it was a big issue. and i do. and i did vote and i was being flip and i shouldn't have done that, that was stupid. so i apologize. and -- yeah. >> i appreciate that he apologized, it didn't seem to me -- i take jon stewart for being a satirist. >> i saw it differently than you. >> i see it as his whole job is to expose hypocrisy and he was caught in a moment of hypocrisy. >> can you say whatever you like and he said what he said, he apologized on his show, which is very interesting. something else that he's very

devoted to is the health and safety and concern for our wounded veterans. and to that end last night here in new york, the bob woodrough foundation, our abc colleague who was blown up in iraq, jon stewart headline it is, all of these amazing people give their services free. comedy and bruce springsteen singing and it was tremendous. >> he does more than perform. look. i have my own issues does, with stewart does, specially to me. he not only goes to stand up for the wounded warriors, he gives his time and treats them with a dignity and respect this they don't get enough. >> he does a great service. >> and you should watch the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. belting out "new york new york". >> it was good, not just because he was a joint chief. >> we need more time. be sure to watch christiane's show "amanpour" on cnn

international. a lot of news going on this morning, not just politics, so let's get to it. obviously republicans had a good night. >> a rejected president obama. grimly admitting defeat to republicans. >> i'm eager to see what they have to offer. >> just because you have divided government doesn't mean you don't accomplish anything. in order for there to be peace, there must be justice, we want to deescalate violence, but we do not want to deescalate action. 206 days and counting -- >> it's as if they just vanish and then suddenly, a glimmer of hope. good morning, everyone, welcome back to "new day," i'm alisyn camerota alongside chris cuomo. president obama preparing for two long years of the republican-controlled congress and one angry electorate. clearly stung by a mid-term election debacle. >> the president had to come out, he had to own it and he did. and he also vowed to work with

the gop for the rest of his term. he assured you, the american people, i hear you. but then -- he started messing with the leadership a little bit. he said hey, i will bypass congress and take executive action on immigration reform if we can't make a deal and that kind of put him right back where he started. >> jim acosta is standing by live at the white house for us. so jim, what is the mood there? >> good morning, guys, the mood is pretty much the same as it was 48 hours ago. after those messy mid-terms, president obama offered no apologies and no signs that a major shake-up is coming for his administration. instead there were plenty of indications he will be putting heads with his new main adversary up on capitol hill, the expected incoming senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell. >> a dejected president obama admitting defeat. there was no glossing over the bitter reality for democrats. >> they want to us get the job done. as president, i have a unique

responsibility to try to make this town work. >> his party stung and in the minority. the president said he he's ready to compromise with republicans on road repairs, reforming the tax code and brokering new trade deals. but just as quickly he says he's still going it alone on immigration reform. >> i'm eager to see what they have to offer. but what i'm not going to do is just wait. my executive actions, not only do not prevent them from passing a law that supersedes those actions. but should be a spur for them to actually try to get something done. >> the vow to act is already pitting him against a new republican senate leader, mitch mcconnell. >> it's like waving a red flag in front of a bull. to say if you guys don't do what i want, i'm going to do it on my own. >> aides to mr. obama saying the president is bullish about his final quarter in the white house. devising new ways to go around congress to build up his legacy. and he's not letting the countdown clock stall his agenda. >> what do you make of the

notion that you're now a lame duck? >> i'm going to squeeze every last little bit of opportunity to help make this a world a better place over the last two years. >> with the republican-controlled congress making moves on those wishes won't be easy. some critics say the president should get to know his rivals better over dinner or golf. with few allies left in power, he may be warming to the idea. >> i would enjoy having some kentucky bourbon. with mitch mcconnell. >> and the president will be meeting with 16 democratic and republican congressional leaders over here at the white house tomorrow. they'll have a big agenda on their hand. the president is kaug calling on congress for authorization for his war against ice a is and ebola funding. speaking of gridlock, already in "the wall street journal" this morning, an op-ed from senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and house speaker john boehner calling for repeal of obama care. that was something yesterday chris that the president said he will not sign. that is not happening according

to this president. chris in. >> early tactics, a little bit harsh on both sides, jim acosta. thank you very much. what's the real chance that they can get along and do anything differently despite what you just told them at the polls? let's bring in one of the two independent senators, senator angus king of maine. senator, always a pleasure to have you on "new day." it's not an auspicious start to this new era of cooperation down there the president saying i'll go it alone, that's waving a red flag in front of the republicans as you well know. they come back with an op-ed about obama care being repealed. that's a nonstarter also. so give me some hope for optimism, senator king. what is the best reason to believe things could be different? >> i think you got to always play the hand that's dealt you. right now the hand that's dealt the president is a republican congress and he's going to have to work through that. and frankly, chris, i think some of the big issues we're not going to be able to do, but i think there will be smaller things. and i don't know whether you consider this smaller, but i think there's a bipartisan group

building to have some kind of congressional authorization of what the president is doing in the middle east. i think that's important. i think that's our responsibility. and i think both sides think that's something that ought to happen. the president alluded to it yesterday. now i got to tell you, i agree with the republicans on this executive action on immigration. i strongly support immigration reform. i voted for the bill. i worked on it. i think it's important for the country. but i don't think that the executive should try to do it by themselves. when congress can't act. i think it would set the cause back. i think you would end up with the republicans reacting in some way and ultimately this is going to have to happen in the congress. if lbj and jack kennedy had tried to do the civil rights act unilaterally, i think it would have taken five or ten more years in the congress to get it through. so i, i'm one that believes that it would be a mistake for the president. i think mitch mcconnell was right, it would be waving a red flag in front of a bull, and i

don't think, i think it would inflame the country and actually set the cause back. so i think that would be a big mistake. on the other hand the affordable care act is not going to be repealed. everybody knows that. president still has the veto power. so if the republicans spend a lot of time doing that, that kind of wastes everybody's time and effort, to. so let's lay the things aside that we can't do and try to agree on the 50, 60, 70 or 80% of the things we can do. >> if the executive orders on immigration becomes a reality and it does look like that very well could be. will you caucus with the republicans? >> no, it wouldn't change caucusing. listen caucusing is who you have lunch with on tuesdays. caucusing isn't joining the republicans or joining the democrats. you don't sign an oath or anything else. i decided yesterday it was best for maine for me to caucus with the democrats. we have one senator in the republican, one in the democratic caucus, one in the republican party, one in the caucus that represents the

president. i think that's good for maine. i don't think, that's really not the issue. but i'm going to do what i've done all along. which is call them as i see them on an issue-by-issue basis. i got to tell you, and i communicated this to the white house last summer, it wasn't about the elections, it wasn't postpone doing something until after the elections, my position is, you know, the constitution doesn't say if the congress fails to act, then the president can do x, y and z. it just doesn't say that. >> i'll tell you what, though, senator, you're absolutely right -- >> power is vested in the congress and if the congress doesn't do it it's the president's job to figure out how to move them in that direction. >> you're absolutely right. what's interesting to me is why aren't you down in the senate, i know you're not to blame for this. but you are a member of the senate, so you got to take the heat. you're not applying the same logic to the war debate. you know, you talk about executive orders on immigration. >> oh, yes, i am. >> you are. senator, i'm not saying you're the problem. >> i'm not saying you're the

problem. i'm saying why isn't that at the top of the agenda? there's a war going on. they let the president do whatever he wanted to there. when it's specifically in the constitution that they declare war. that should be top of the agenda, no? >> you know there's a little selective memory here, or selective choice of issues on some, ebola is a good example where you know the republicans are saying, the president shouldn't act unilaterally on immigration, and too many executive orders and then they're saying, but wait a minute, we want the government to come in and start locking people up and quarantining them, you know. kind of, there's a kind of a mixed message there and you're absolutely right. the war is a place where congress has a specific constitutional responsibility that we've been ducking frankly for something like 50 years and it's time to reassert that. think you now, the old sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander argument. >> everybody is saying who knows what they're talking about, this is going to get worse in that

region of the world. what's going on. that the coalition doesn't seem to have a good strategy that what it means for the united states seems much more negative than we're being told here at home. and i really wonder if you think that this republican majority now will take on this issue, or are they afraid to be on the record with the american people, doing anything like endorsing what could go wrong in war? >> well, you know i think that's always a problem. and it's been a problem with the democrats were in the majority, too. see congress, chris, you you know what congress does best? >> nothing. >> guess and criticize, that's not in the constitution, but boy, that's something we're really good at. but i think you're going do see people like john mccain and lindsay graham. who are agreeing there has to be some further authorization or a clearer authorization. now whether that will go to the whole caucus, i don't know what mitch mcconnell's position is on

this. but i do think it's something that we, we need to undertake and we need to take some responsibility. to the larger question, of strategy, you know that's, that's the real, that's the real puzzle. i've been working on these issues on intelligence and armed services for a couple of years. they're terribly complex. but the bottom line is we're not going to be able to kill our way out of this problem. we have to figure out what it is that's motivating young people in britain and america and france and certainly throughout the middle east to go and give up their lives to become suicide bombers. in this cause. this is an underlying worldwide problem that we've got to figure out strategically beyond simply drones and air strikes. >> dropping bombs is the easy part of the solution new york city question about that. and to be clear for the record, senator king, i do not think that you're part of the problem here. but i do believe you could be part of the solution when it comes to getting the meaningful debate and vote we need on

what's going on already with the war in that part of the world. not even just on isis, because it's bigger than that. but senator king, thank you for joining us, i'll follow up with you on this issue. let us know how to motivate this debate because the country needs to have it. thank you, sir. well here's a confounding story, the u.s. army is scrambling to explain how it approved the use of the word "negro" to categorize african-american service members. the word appears in the latest army regulations and it is causing controversy. let's bring in pentagon correspondent barbara starr. barbara, what do we know? >> not a whole lot, alisyn. other than i can tell you my phone rang early this morning with a top u.s. army general telling me this is going to get fixed and it's going to get fixed this week. here's what we do know, this army regulation was published just on october 22nd and updated regulation. and perhaps the explanation they say is nobody saw this paragraph in this lengthy document. i want to read to everybody

exactly what it says. it's a portion of the document talking about how people are defined for demographic purposes. something that the army as a large organization does, it collects demographic data. it's talking about when forms are filled out and it says, quote, a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of africa, that's the category. terms such as haitian or negro can be used in addition to black or african-american. now, the army, this person says he doesn't know why the word "haitian" is in there. they think it's all old langenbrunner walanguage, nobod thought to take it out. the wording has been in there for sometime now. i can tell thaw i don't go around reading army regulations on a regular basis, this story was brought to our attention by the african-american community. people in the military, in that

community have seen this wording in the last several days. and it's something that they're really disturbed about. they want to see it changed. and the army says now, they will change it. te just can't explain why that word is in there. ailsen? >> it is confusing. thanks for the background, interesting story. there are other stories making news, let's get over to michaela. your headlines now at 11 minutes past the hour. israeli police say a palestinian man who claims he ran over three idf soldiers turned himself in this morning. this attack was caught on this very disturbing video. authorities are investigating a second car attack. this video also very difficult to watch, we should caution ka you, a van plows into pedestrians in jerusalem, killing one, injuring 13 other people. the palestinian driver was shot dead by police. israeli prime minister benjamin netenyahu blames hamas for those attacks. top terror target has been

taken out by a strike in yellen. the state department had named him a especially designated global terrorist after connecting him with plots to attack american embassies, one of those plots forced 19 diplomatic locations to close in the middle east and africa last summer. a philadelphia woman has been rescued after being violently abducted in this incident all caught on video. carlesha freeland-gaither is heading home now to be with her family after being released from a hospital in maryland where police nabbed her alleged abductor. delven barnes was cornered in his car with gabather in the ba seat. this guy is also facing charges for abduction of a 16-year-old girl in virginia. take a look at this drake university student winning himself a brand new f-150. first-year student makes a lay-up, a free throw, a three-pointer and a half-court shot in 30 seconds, sending

people at drake university's event into a frenzy. as you notice, chris, were you cringing he needed three tries to make the lay-up, four tries to sink the three-pointer, he still got the job done with a second to spare. i feel like my man is a hero on campus right now. >> he's long and strong. because to hit the half-court shot, is so hard. >> it's so impossible. >> it was just nerves in the beginning. >> i spent many a year trying to do that. that was really cool. >> i like your emotional commentary. >> i always feel for those guys. and women when you see them and like the halftime of some game or something and they go out there. because they're there are all of these people watching. >> you got to deliver. >> he'll have that for the rest of his life. all right an update for you from ferguson, missouri, they're bracing for the grand jury decision about whether officer darren wilson will be charged in michael brown's death. our legal experts will weigh in on efforts to prevent a new outbreak of violence in that city. what is the promise of these

mid-term elections? that things will be different? that these two men will work together? mitch mcconnell and the president. will it happen? what will be the first couple of steps we'll see? john king will explore this tricky situation on "inside politics."

good to have you back with us. more protests were held in ferguson, missouri overnight over the michael brown shooting. the protest was mostly peaceful. the city is bracing now for potentially explosive demonstrations.

because a grand jury could be days away from deciding whether or not to indict officer darren wilson for the death of michael brown. a group called the don't shoot coalition they're hoping to prevent violence from breaking out after the decision is announced. asking law enforcement adhere to specific rules that they've come up with. meant to what they say demilitarize police in ferguson. wath to turn to our cnn legal analyst paul callan and attorney and radio host mo ivory. good to have you with us. want to play a little sound from this coalition group from the co-chair, michael mcpherson. listen to what he had to say. >> what we're trying to do is make sure that we move everything into a constructive way to create change. we want to deescalate violence where we do not want to deescalate action. >> paul, right off the bat, what's your reaction? >> well i think it's a very good idea and it's been done in mass demonstrations in the past. marches on washington, d.c., for civil rights. protesting the vietnam war.

there's always been coordination between law enforcement authorities and demonstrators. we could have a debate about whether they're asking for too much here. >> we might need to dig into that a little bit. this is a 19 points that they're going after the police on, including some really strange ones that i don't think will be granted. i mean they want to regulate how the police dress. they want to regulate, they want to say if somebody throw as bottle at a police officer, the police officer aren't supposed to arrest that person. >> it is asking -- it is asking a lot. but tonally, it's an interesting thing to have community leaders come to the table and say, we do not want this to escalate like the last time. mo, is this a good step? >> absolutely. the tone of it all says listen, we don't want what happened the last time to happen again. let's sit down at the table and let's talk about what we can do better. how the police can act better. because admittedly the police did it wrong the first time. a judge ruled that the

protesters' civil rights were violated by the police and i think that the list, i looked over the list very carefully. i really don't see anything on there that is objectionable to me. >> well let's dig through them. i don't want to go through all 19. but there are a few that jump out. one of the things right off the bat, number three, police will give protesters 48-hour notice before a grand jury decision is announced. is that a reasonable request, paul? >> it's a highly unusual request. i went back, i was looking at some high-profile cases, obviously the zimmerman case, the loud music, the dunne case in florida. i can't find any cases where the judiciary, which runs the grand jury, gave advanced notice to street demonstrators about when an indictment was going to come down. on the other hand, it's not illegal. it gets made public at some point in time. so theoretically it could be done. >> you're okay with it, mo? >> again, i think what it says

is give us the time. once we have talked to you about these conditions, to know that the verdict, you know, that the grand jury is indicting or not. and then we can prepare better. either way. and i just think it's smart and it's all for the protection of people. protesters as well as the police. >> right, another interesting thing, a lot was made of the attire and how the police presence was perceived. how they were dressed. one of the other suggestions in these 19 items, police will wear only attire minimally required for their safety. specialized riot gear will be avoided except as a last resort. now we know that police have a right to protect themselves as well. is this a reasonable request to put on law enforcement, paul? >> no, i don't think it is. when you're out on the street and there's a huge street demonstration, which could go violent immediately, you have to be prepared for that. now hopefully it remains peaceful. but what are they going to do, go change? i understand that it's offensive. but i also understand that if you're a cop on the street, you

got to protect yourself from things being thrown at you. and you might need shields, and that's a law enforcement decision. >> bottles of water were thrown at the officers. mo, how do you respond to that? >> i do think on the uniforms, i do think that it's a reasonable request to avoid the malicious stake. and what it looked like the last time they were geared up, was that they were going into war. and that's what made the protesters feel that heightened the level because of the way the police were speaking to them. the water bottles, i think is being blown out of proportion. i don't think that they shouldn't protect themselves from actual molotov cocktails or things like that. but not empty water bottles that happened to be flying in the air and then you arrest or you start putting pellets at people for empty water bottles. >> we only have a minute left. i want to get to this, because i think it's important. this is one step this is the community coming forward and saying this is what we'd like. they can make the request, they don't have to be met. what do you want to see happen

so we can, paul, now avoid a repeat of last time or even potentially worse? >> well i think the list of 19 can be whittled down to areas of agreement. where it's an orderly demonstration, where it's set up in such a way so that the police are respectful of the demonstrators and the demonstrators hopefully are respectful of the police. regardless of the decision. and i just, you know, i just go with one statement. if they spent as much time registering people to vote as opposed to organizing the demonstration. you know -- >> that's a whole other conversation. >> for all the police and the grand jury. >> let's not go there. >> that's a whole other conversation. >> mo ivory, paul callan, great to have you both with us, a lot of passion here, chris. that's why you got to have the conversation. we have been covering the kidnapping of 200 nigerian school girls, it made headlines all over the world with the pleas of bring back our girls. it is now seven months later. there's no trace of them. we're going to talk with our

here's a look at your headlines, the u.s. army under fir for approving the use of the word "negro" to categorize african-american service members. regulations. the pentagon officials could not say when the word was added or who ok'd it.

an army spokesman says a portion of the regulation where the word appears is now under review and they say it will be updated shortly. texas governor rick perry due back in court today. for a pretrial hearing. he has been indicted on charges he abused his power by cutting funding from a local district attorney's office. it was allegedly in retaliation for the d.a.'s refusal to resign after driving drunk. perry's attorneys say he was within the scope of his authority. federal prosecutors are investigating a member of vladimir putin's inner circle in connection with an international money laundering scheme. according to "the wall street journal," a billionaire russian gas trader allegedly transferred funds from crooked oil deals in russia through the american financial system. u.s. attorney's office in new york is heading up the investigation with help from the justice department. okay. this is crazy. we have the most stunning video you'll ever see from a news cameraman. it stems from a carjacking in australia.

the suspect, watch this, points a gun at the cameraman. gets in the new vehicle and speeds off. eventually slamming into a fuel tank at a gas station. causing a leak. that impact was captured by a camera in the stolen car. >> get on the ground now! after a tense standoff, the suspect was taken into custody. crews managed to seal the leak before any major damage could occur. that could have been a whole other disaster. the whole situation began when the cameraman was going to cover an attack on a woman. was waved down by this bearded man, the eventual carjacker who admitted he was the guy behind the attack that the cameraman was on his way to cover. this -- is crazy. >> what's happening here? >> how, how do we have the man now crying afterwards? >> it was -- >> mental illness on full display. >> it was the craziest situation, he was on his way to

a thing, this all happened, and there was a chase and -- it was the craziest thing. >> you rarely see those videos play out start to finish in that dramatic fashion. >> this is the other thing. >> look, we talk about it all the time. one of the main struggles we have in this society is what we do with people who are mentally ill and access to guns is what it is and people who are unstable do unstable things. like how the cop followed him along with a weapon. how often do we see them taking that shot? most cops don't. all right so what is going to happen here? all right we just had this big election, let's get "inside politics" on "new day" with john king. they say they're going to work together, my brother. and then obama says but i will do it myself on immigration and they write the op-ed saying yeah, and we will repeal obama care. >> the odds of them working together are equal to the odds of the jets winning the super bowl. >> oh! that cuts deep. >> just trying to make a point. it's a metaphor.

>> ooh. >> i'm sorry, take a break to plan your response. we'll be back to you guys in just a minute. let's go "inside politics" this morning. with me to share their reporting and insights, nia malika henderson of the "washington post" and "washington post." >> to his point, you know, the president says we're going to get along. mitch mcconnell says we're going to get along. the republicans are sitting around their campfire, having their s'mores and having a great time. here comes the president down the road with a big barrel of kerosene, he's about to did executive action on immigration reform and on to the fire. the little roast is about to become a bonfire. mitch mcconnell said the president acting with executive powers on immigration, bad idea. >> it's an issue that most of my members want to address. legislatively. and it's like waving a red flag in front of a bull. to say, if you guys don't do what i want i'm going to do it on my own.

and the president has done that on obama care, he's done it on immigration. and threatening to do it again. i hope he won't do that, because-day think it poisons the well for the opportunity to address a very important domestic issue. >> it was not long after the soon-to-be senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, said no that would be a red flag in front of a bull that the president spoke to reporters and he said, guess what, i'm going to do it, although he did say republicans have a way to fix it. >> if in fact there is a great eagerness on the part of republicans to tackle a broken immigration system, then they have every opportunity to do it. my executive actions not only do not prevent them from passing a law that supersedes those actions. but should be a spur for them to actually try to get something done. and i am prepared to engage them

with every step of the way. with their ideas. >> so, essentially, leader mcconnell says do it our way, mr. president, everything will be fine. the president says, do it my way, republicans, everything will be fine. so that's it, right? kumbayah? >> that sounds like a recipe for compromise, right? that's what everyone is talking about. no, i mean it sounds like a recipe for disaster. obama, put himself in this position, because he made this grand promise about doing this executive action before, before the end of the year. he changed his mind and now he's looking at his legacy. he's looking at latinos and he wants to jump out in front and really keep a promise that he made. but it's going to poison the well. >> john boehner has more members in the house. mitch mcconnell has a new majority and the senate did pass an immigration reform bill way back, it seems like 100 years ago, a little more than a year and a half ago. but do either of the republican leaders, ron, have a long-enough leash after a big win where

republicans say we have a mandate, the president doesn't. to deal with past legal status or pass path to citizenship for undocumented. >> the president of the united states doesn't know how to cut a deal. boehner's caucus doesn't want to cut any deals and mcconnell in the senate can't act alone. so i think even though there's enormous incentive for compromise and a real need for immigration reform, and a serious need for immigration reform, it ain't going to happen. >> let's talk about that moment. you said the president doesn't know how to cut a a deal. he's been president for six years, we've seen how he operates in the office, some of you love it, some of you don't, some are in the middle. we know mitch mcconnell, he's the majority leader, but he's been the senate leader, republican leader bay long time. he likes to cut deals. but the internal tensions of the republican party haven't allowed it. speaker boehner the same thing. it used to be a guy who did business with ted deny kendy. used to do deals on immigration and things like that. are we going to get a washington -- i bring it up in this context, in "the wall

street journal," mitch mcconnell and john boehner write this op-ed, if you look at this list for the new republicans. antiquated government bureaucracy. no immigration reform on their list that they publish, no raising the minimum wage or the things the democrats want to do. is there, and the american people want to do. >> even in arkansas they passed the minimum wage. >> is there a stepping stone that they can say, you know what, we know we disagree on this and this, here's one thing we can agree on. let's start by trying to do something. >> there's all kinds of stepping stones and incentives to compromise. the american public, the except for the economy, the number two issue they want tackled right now is ending gridlock. but both sides are only listening to their base, and can only listen to their base, that's why i think we're heading for an enormous period of disruption. >> and you hear people promising chaos, ted cruz basically saying

he's going to be confrontational. people are reading the results of the election very differently. if it's a republican kind of mandate, what does that republican mean? is it more conservative? is it more centrist. >> it's clear what the american people want and it's clear politicians aren't going to give it to them. >> republicans are happy, democrats are looking at the rubble. i want to read you a couple of quick things from the inbox. priebus, eric ericsson writing in red state.com stokes up the conservative base. he says he hearse all this talk for getting along. my hope is that the republicans reject this patent nonsense. in his view democrats should be kept across a large moat with sharp stakes, acid and alligators. from the other side, left, democracy for america, an email quoting elizabeth warren saying the democrats have to stand and

fight. we have to fight back against the gop's extremist agenda. they got the message, right? get along. >> they say they're listening, but they're not. >> they hate everybody. so if you're hillary clinton and you're thinking of running for president enter 2016 and the shoeters have made clear, we gave republicans all these seats, but we disapprove of their party, we disapprove of your party. what do you do? >> she's going to be running to be the third term barack obama not an easy thing to do, in a climate when people are down on washington, politics and institutions and she's all three of those things. she's going to have to run a very 21st century, very unique unhillary-type campaign to be able to break through. >> you know me, but i'm new and i'm different. >> there is a part of her that she could show the american public if she would you know -- >> if she would sort of -- she's kind of said she's hillary unleashed. >> but we don't see that.

>> is there any chance leaders run this town and every now and then there's a grassroots revolt. we'll have nearly 100 women in congress for the first time. the most latennos in history, 29 in the house, three in the senate. the first southern african-american senator elected, tim scott, since reconstruction and the first gop african-american congresswoman mia love. do people say i'm not your, it's time to be different or do they get captive. >> people are looking at joni ernst out of iowa, is she more tea party or establishment. symbolically all of these numbers are good for both parties, but we know how things work, it's about leadership, it's about seniority, these folks aren't going to have much of that. >> let's hope we're wrong in washington. >> you have a good record of being wrong. >> i appreciate that, ron fournier. >> and to get back to you, my apolog apologies, that was a low blow, mr. cuomo.

i hope that both the president and the republican leadership decides let's try to make a try, at the little things, infrastructure, and a couple of things they could agree on and bring good will. >>s did possible, it is the dawn of a new era, we can still hope today. he is still wearing his rose-colored glasses, one eye is using the rose-colored glasses. >> that's because i'm asleep. >> you see my face right now, king? can you see my face? >> i'm in trouble. >> this is the stink eye. >> i'll be looking over my >> you're about citizens advocacy and you beat a man when he's down. my jets are the worst team in the league and you come at me now when your patriots are on top? that's who you are, john king. that's what you are. you and your genes. >> bye, john. >> you're also the best at what you do with the elections, i need you, but i don't like you. see you later, brother. here's a question we've been wondering about for seven

it's been nearly seven months since 200 school girls were kidnapped by islamist militants in nigeria, with no trace of the girls hopes of finding them are diminishing. the leader of boko haram are mocking attempts to find the girls, despite the government's assurances that a rescue operation is under way. aisha sasay has been following the story and just returned from nigeria. what's the latest? >> just days ago it seemed the mystery of nigeria's missing school girls was finally at an end. but sadly, those hopes have given way to bitter, bitter disappointment.

206 days and counting, where are nigeria's missing school girls? back in april, more than 200 young women snatched from their bedsed in middle of the night by boko haram. >> why my daughter? >> day 100, their parents told me of their heartbreak and enduring day after day of frustration. despite the girls' plight grabbing worldwide attention, bring back our girls championed everywhere online, it's as if they just vanished. the days became months with no word. then suddenly, a glimmer of hope. >> they've assured that the girls are alive and well. >> last month, day 186, nigeria's government announced a truce with the extremist group brokered by neighboring chad and the news the girls' families had been so desperate to hear. >> there's a understanding on the release of the girls. >> having covered the girls' abduction from the beginning, i

rushed to board a flight to nigeria's capital in hopes of covering their release, but elation turned to frustration as day after day passed with no release and no reunion. for me, a roller coaster of stand-by calls for an imminent release, the parents of the girls, the continuing wait agonizing. on day 189, nigerian officials i talked to insisted they were very close. >> indeed, it's attainable. a commitment from boko haram to release the girls. >> days turned into weeks and on day 201 came in video from boko haram's leader, a man nigeria's government claimed to have killed three times before. he is very much alive, laughed off the supposed cease-fire and denied there was any deal to free the girls. saying we have married them off. he also denied knowing the man

claiming to represent boko haram in negotiations with the nigerian government. threatening, we will slaughter him if we get him. nigerian officials continue to insist they were in substantive talks with boko haram representatives and hadn't been taken for a ride. but on day 200, a deadly bombing, part of an escalation in boko haram attacks after the government's announced deal. day 202 was the release of the girls clearly no longer imminent, i headed back to atlanta bitterly disappointed. even before this massive blow, leaders of the bring back our girls campaign told me a number of the parents had died from the heartbreak of losing their daughters. now the hopes of those that remain have been raised once again only to be devastated in the cruelest of ways. as the excruciating wait goes on day after day. and alisyn, 206 days and

jingle, jingle, cnn money time. your money, chief business correspondent christine romans is here with what's going on in the markets. the futures are up, the question is why? >> we had a really good day yesterday. will it hold today? they called it the gop rally, stocks enthusiastic over republican midterm victories. the dow up 100 points yesterday, a record high. stocks have never been this high. the s&p 500 same story there. the theory is republican leadership means pro-business policies and less regulation. energy stocks great day for those yesterday. could republicans get approval for the keystone pipeline? all these things up in the air. stocks love midterm elections. after the past 13 midterms, guys, stocks gained an average of 16.5% the following six months versus 3.7% in years without a midterm. democratic president and republican congress have historically been the best combination. will it hold today? it looks like a pause for me here today.

>> your "new day" continues right now. >> announcer: this is "new day" with chris cuomo, kate bolduan and michaela pereira. >> good morning, withal come back to "new day." it's thursday, november 6th, just about, bingo, 8:00 in the east. chris cuomo and alisyn camerota here with news of what the new reality in washington will be. both sides are saying they want to work together, right, but now a mixed message from the president. >> and democrats say he is saying all the right things publicly. he's insisting he is ready to work with the gop for the next two years while assuring millions of angry voters "i hear you" but he's also showing a bit of a stubborn streak by stirring the pot on immigration reform saying he's willing to act alone. let's bring in senior white house correspondent jim acosta to make sense of all of this. hi, jim. >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. you hear a lot of talk of compromise but the battle lines are being drawn especially on

the issue of immigration reform. the president's aides say he will take executive action on immigration, that could mean relaxing deportation on millions of undocumented immigrants. here's mitch mcconnell and the president drawing swords over this issue yesterday during their dueling news conferences. >> i am eager to see what they have to offer but what i'm not going to do is just wait. 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. >> it's 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 and the president's done that on oba obamacare, he's done it on immigration and threatening to do it again. >> and speaking of that flashpoint of obamacare, mitch mcconnell and the house speaker

john boehner had an op-ed in "the wall street journal" this morning saying they are coming after obamacare, talking about how they heard the words of the voters yesterday and that means according to both of these leaders, renewing our commitment in their words to repeal obamacare which they say is hurting the job market along with americans' health care, there it is on screen there. the president saying during his news conference yesterday that is not happening. he will not sign a repeal into law. they'll have plenty of time to talk about all this tomorrow when 16 democratic and republican congressional leaders come to the white house to meet with the president as the president said yesterday he's willing to have a drink with mitch mcconnell, even some kentucky bourbon but no word yet whether any bourbon will be served although after this week, we could all use a drink. alisyn and chris? >> we will talk about that bourbon summit and whether it's going to happen. thanks so much, jim. joining us now is josh earnest, the white house press secretary. good morning, josh.

>> reporter: good mornin . >> good morning, how are you? >> i'm doing well, how are you feeling? >> great, thank you. >> the new catch words in washington, d.c., today, are compromise, bipartisan action, collaboration. how willing do you think the president really is to do some of the things that republicans want? >> well, i think alisyn the more important question is how willing is the president to do things that will benefit middle class families. the president is very willing to work with republicans to do things that benefit middle class families. i think at least our early indications from some republicans are they may be interested in doing some things with the president, cooperatively, to advance the cause, to advance middle class families and to expand and enhance their economic opportunities. the thing that we have seen over the last six years we've seen republicans considered to be in their own political interests to actually oppose every single thing that the president tried to support and everything the president tried to advance. so the question is, has the deck

been reshuffled in such a way that republicans are in a position to say there are a couple of things that we agree on that would benefit middle class families. let's take action on them, the open question for the remainder of this year but also over the course of the next two years. >> your point is well-taken, the devil is in the details as always. let's get specific, talk about a couple of things that maybe they could compromise on that at least republicans would say would benefit middle class families. for instance the keystone pipeline. republicans say that would increase jobs. is the president ready to authorize that? >> i know the republicans say that a lot, that's not really what economists say. what the president has said and this is what we're going to do here, we're going to allow the state department to conduct their regular process of evaluating whether or not the construction of the keystone pipeline would actually be in the national interests of the united states of america. so that is a process up and running. >> how many environmentalists, haven't they figured that out? most studies have suggested that we could figure out a way to do

it without harming the soil or the air. it seems as though that question has been answered. what are we still waiting for? >>le with, we're waiting on a couple of things. the first is, i do think it continues to be an open question about what impacts the construction of the pipeline would have on those causes of climate change and that is a concern that the president articulated a couple of times now, first in the speech he delivered about a year and a half ago. the second thing, there have been some disputes in nebraska about the proper route of the pipeline. there are concerns it's slated to run over some sensitive area in nebraska. nebraska judge right now is considering some various proposals for where that pipeline would be constructed. once some of those things are resolved the state department can do their work of evaluating whether or not a pipeline like this is in the national interest of the united states of america. that's the way this process has worked in the previous administrations and the process that we're going to run here, too. >> let's talk about immigration reform, something that everyone seems to be talking about today. the president is interested in a

path toward citizenship and republicans are, some have refused to move forward on that or say they're not comfortable with it. will the president use executive action to get his vision for immigration reform? >> there you some republicans who have come together with democrats on the capitol hill to pass bipartisan legislation that would address so many of the problems plaguing our broken immigration system right now. they would address these problems in a way that would create jobs, reduce the deficit, expand the economic opportunity, that would strengthen the border and strengthen our homeland security. this say common sense piece of legislation that represents a compromise as the president acknowledged yesterday. it's not a piece of legislation that he would have written himself but it is certainly something that reflects the principles he's laid out. there's bipartisan ground around this and what we'd still like to see is the house of representatives take up this piece of legislation. if they do, we know it will pass. there's enough bipartisan

support for it in the house. the only reason it hasn't gotten a vote we've seen house republicans block it and not really for a very good reason, i might add. >> if they block it, or if somehow it doesn't come up for a vote, is the president willing to use executive action on this, and the reason that i ask is because we have spoken to some republicans as early as an hour ago, as recently as an hour ago who said that that would be like waving a red flag in front of a bull, if the president were still firmly saying i'm going to use my pen and my phone and executive action, that that doesn't sound like the new spirit of bipartisanship. >> alisyn it reflects the president's commitment to getting things done on behalf of middle class families across the country and making progress to solve so many of the problems that we all acknowledge exist with our broken immigration system would actually be the kind of action that voters voted for in the last election. so much of what has consumed washington in the last two years are partisan debates that haven't yielded a lot of results and what the president is basically saying is look, i want to work with republicans to get

results but if i have the capacity using the authority that i have that's vested in the constitution of the united states to get results from the american people, then i'm going to act to do it. i think it's strange, frankly, in my mind that anybody would be critical of the idea that if the president can take action to benefit middle class families that for some political reason, he shouldn't. >> one of the things that republicans have said is that they're sure that the president's heart or spirit is in the right place, but that his tone, his style i should say hasn't always worked for them. they've called him aloof, they've called him removed. they've called him distant. i think it was mitch mcconnell who said he's only had a one onone with the president the past six years. >> i have to admit i would be surprised if it republicans were going to say they somehow were offended or didn't sort of feel that the president was

affectionate enough. for that reason they'd refuse to do their jobs. i think the vast majority of republicans like the president are pretty pragmatic, and i take them at their word when they say they're going to sit down with the president and try to find common ground and try to make progress on behalf of the american people. what the president was clear about, he's going to sit down with republicans, he invited them here to the white house tomorrow where he'll sit down with the 16 highest ranking members of the united states congress, democrats and republicans, members of the house, members of the senate to plot out the way forward for the next two months and to start talking about what we can get done over the course of the next two years. if in the context of those conversations republicans say look, mr. president, we'd like to you do a couple things differently than in the past, the president's certainly open to doing things differently if it's going to result in the kinds of changes that are going to benefit middle class families. that's the bottom line here. what does the president need to

do to make progress for middle class families in washington, d.c., and if there are things the president needs to change in order to make progress he won't hesitate to make changes. >> last question, will we see a bourbon summit between mitch mcconnell and president obama? >> well, we'll have to see. i'm not sure what senator mcconnell's drink of choice is. >> it's bourbon. >> if so, i'm confident that the president will be looking eagerly for an opportunity to share a bourbon with the new majority leader. the fact is i don't know if something like that will take place in public but the president has a genuine desire to try to find common ground with republicans and with their leaders. and he's not just looking for common ground for the sake of negotiating. he's looking for common ground for the sake of making progress for middle class families. that's the bottom line, can we get results and if we can by having a glass of bourbon with the new majority leader from the commonwealth of kentucky, then the president will do that as often as is necessary. >> there you go. josh earnest, thanks so much for taking time for us, great to talk to you.

>> thank you, alisyn, nice to talk to you, too. >> over to michaela. ten minutes past your hour now. let's look at the headlines. palestinian man who claims he was the driver who plowed into three israeli soldiers has turned himself in. this happened at the west bank checkpoint near bethlehem. authorities are investigating this now and also they're investigating a deadly car attack in jerusalem, both are being investigated as acts of terrorism. cnn's erin mclaughlin is live in jerusalem. erin? >> reporter: michaela, this morning i spoke to the wife of ibrahim al akari, the main suspect in a terrorist attack that happened on a jerusalem light rail station yesterday that killed one border police officer and injured 13 others. now, his wife told me that she believes this was a revenge attack. she says that her husband in the morning was watching television. he saw clashes unfolding at the

al aqsa mosque. she didn't know what he was going to do next she believes in her words that the attack was justified. tensions have been mounting around the site known to muslims as the noble sanctuary and the temple mountain, there are growing suspensions among members of the muslim community something could happen to what's called the status quo of the site and that is that jus are allowed to visit the site but not allowed to pray there. while israeli government officials this morning reiterating the position that nothing is going to happen to that status quo, the increasing pace of visits from members of the israeli far right coupled with restrictions placed on access to the mosque has muslims concerned that that may not be the case, and yesterday jordan recalled its ambassador to israel and says it is referring the matter to the u.n. security council. michaela? >> all right, erin, thanks for the update on that. we appreciate it. the white house says president obama is asking congress for $6 billion to fight

ebola, both in the united states and in west africa. this as a field hospital to treat health workers rather from contracting ebola is preparing to open its doors in liberia, staffed by members of the united states public health service. it is hoped this facility will ease concerns that doctors and nurses have about going to fight the disease, which has killed thousands now in west africa. another victory for supporters of same-sex marriage, a judge in missouri ruled the state's gay marriage ban is unconstitutional. this ruling prompted st. louis to begin issuing marriage licenses. the attorney general appealed the ruling to the missouri supreme court but had not asked for a stay allowing same-sex marriage ceremonies to proceed. you don't need me to tell you that newscasters are serious people. we do like to have some fun and get down with a good foot. exhibit "a" dan thorn, anchor man wbns in west virginia. he likes to get his dance on during the short commercial

breaks. he's got the moves of a certain, i don't know, non-governing cuomo. >> i agree! >> we understand this, alisyn, completely unimpressed, which seems vaguely familiar to what happens here during the commercial breaks. i have video, i'm just saying, i have video. >> yes, i know you do. she's ignoring him, like we have to. >> you have to. >> i feel for anchorman thorn having to deal with his co-anch co-anchor, who only cares about herself. so they can't reach out an embrace his own moment there. >> celebrate you are your dance moves. this is what i'm talking about, we're trying to make this straight. you need to understand. >> put me straight, i'm sideways. what am i levitating? what were you doing there? were you having a convulsion, a seizure? >> i was dancing along with you. i meant to ignore you. >> that's dancing, right? >> you do a mean charleston, by the way. >> that is true.

see, i can embrace the success of those around me. as rare as it is. >> once a year on halloween, look forward to that 360 whatever days from now. >> hmm, math. >> it's great. michaela? >> thank you. >> my pleasure. >> amber vinson as you remember contracted ebola at a dallas hospital, if that was not bad enough she came under heavy criticism for flying with the virus when she says she didn't know she was infected. what was herp reacti reaction t public outrage in. and huge relieve for friends and family of a pennsylvania woman, last time they saw her she was abducted and shoved in a car, and we know how too many of the stories end. guess what? not this one. she's been found alive. we'll tell you about it. o potatk is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah.

so many of us are worried about controlling and contracting ebola, fears fueled by horror stories of what it's like. ebola survivor amber vinson is telling us the reality. the dallas nurse reveals the agony of the illness and something else that hurt, being questioned when she flew on a commercial jet after treating a liberian man with ebola. vinson sat down with don lemon and had quite a conversation. take a look and a listen. >> i'm a nurse. i care. i care for me. i would not put myself in danger

first, i would not take ebola to my family and my best gi girlfriends. i would not endanger families across the nation potentially exposing them to anything. i had no symptoms. there was no way at that time i could not transmit it. so the science of it, no symptoms, you can't transmit it, so getting on that plane was just like whoever sat next to me getting on the plane. they had no symptoms either, so i would not, it's never my goal or intention to bring harm to anyone. >> that really affected you? >> yes. >> reporter: why? >> because it's not me. all i do is care. all i want do is help.

i would never try to hurt anyone. >> reporter: that hurt, it hurts when people say that? >> yes. because it is so not me. so far beyond what, who i am. i'm always caring. i'm always, you know, i put others before myself always. >> don lemon joins us now to talk more. hi, don. >> good morning, how are you guys? >> doing well. tell us what your thoughts were? >> it hits really right here, actually right here for her, right, because the first thing i said was, you survived ebola. right? how does that feel? and she talked about that, but wh what she really talked about how she feels the cdc handled it, the public, and the media, that it really hurt her, because she put her life on the line every day as a health care worker and

she said, you know, i thought about it. but that's what i signed up for. i thought about it when he came in, and they told us about what he had and what he contracted. that's what i signed up for, and so i went and i get the call of duty and all of a sudden i'm getting blamed. >> do you think she has a point snt ? the indecision of the cdc wound up making a target out of somebody who was doing the best thing possible. >> not only a target, but she also talked about what the other nurses talked about, about the protocol, about being protected, about she said she never had a gap like the other nurses talked about, but she did see the other nurses. she says i'm a hippie girl. i said 1960s? she said no, i have some hips. she wore a bigger suit so she could be comfortable in her suit. she said so i was covered. >> how did she get it? >> she doesn't know how she got it. that's the thing. i talked to her about how it felt as well and she talked a little bit about how she got it, let's look at what it was like

to have ebola. what does it feel like? >> it takes so much out of you. it really does. it is very draining, and even now, walking a short distance, i get short of breath, but when i was going through my very rough couple of days, you got to force yourself to get up and forcing yourself takes a lot out of you, too. it's a struggle. you're fighting for your life. >> reporter: did you ever think that you could lose your life, that you might not make it? >> i have such great faith and i was reading my bible, reading scriptures and i didn't feel like it was my time yet. >> wasn't her time. we talk about how she thinks she got it. again she doesn't know for sure. she has maybe a little bit of an idea but the interesting thing to me is, this whole ebola stigma quite honestly and i told her that during the interview,

we called around to a number of different places. >> to do the interview. >> to do the interview and they said no. >> oh my gosh! >> i was on the radio yesterday and people were asking me, you went to west africa to trace your family roots, you had to take all the medication. how are you protecting yourself when you go to the interview? i said what do you mean? she doesn't have ebola anymore, she can't spread ebola. >> she doesn't have symptoms. >> and we went out to a couple places before we did the interview, i wanted the family to be comfortable and they were nice to us and when we called back to say we would like to do the interview there, no thank you. >> absolutely telling. all right, don, thanks so much. >> information is power, and as don just said, please, tune in tonight. everybody wants to hear amber vinson's story, 10:00 eastern time, you get the full prime time exclusive interview with amber vinson, one great reason to watch tonight, the other one is we'll be on. >> oh, yes, that's right. >> you're not going to be there. >> no.

allegedly delvin barnes, so because of that, this captain in virginia knew of him. he saw the surveillance photos and he realized that the car that he was driving had been equipped with a gps monitoring system because of his credit history. so he contacted the dealership yesterday, found out through the gps monitoring where this car was. he said that by 3:30 yesterday afternoon that fbi, u.s. federal marshalls and atf had surrounded at a distance the car, they saw them both in the back seat. they did not move in because they wanted to protect carleisha. we did not want a hostage situation. when they found him exiting the vehicle they moved him, apprehended him, had him in custody between 5:30 and 6:00 last night and they rescued her and she went right here after that to the hospital with minor injuries. >> wow, what a great outcome all

things considered. jean casarez, thanks so much for the update this morning. let's get over to michaela for what else you need to know. >> i have five things, alisyn. number one president obama telling voters "i hear you" after a devastating midterm election. the president says he's willing to work with republicans and will not abandon his agenda. israeli police say a palestinian suspect has turned himself in, claiming he was the driver of the truck that slammed into three israeli soldiers at a west bank checkpoint wednesday. texas governor rick perry due back in court today for a pretrial hearing. he's been tighted on charges that he abused his power by stripping funding from a local district attorney's office. the insurance institute for highway safety has released new ratings for child booster seats for vehicles preponderatings are based on how well three-point shoulder and lap seat belts fit a child. alex rodriguez is reportedly admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs from

president obama house speaker john boehner and

expected senate majority leader mitch mcconnell all come out up spoken. the need to change washington and how much they can accomplish through bipartisanship. but is that really going to happen? what about the executive order the president is threatening in here to talk about all of this and the road ahead is one of the newest members of the house, congresswoman-elect california republican mimi walters. good morning, congresswoman-elect. >> good morning, alisyn. >> how does that title sound? >> i love it. i've worked 18 years for that title, i'm thrilled. >> congratulations on your victory. when are you heading to washington? >> i'm heading next week for orientation and meeting a lot of my new freshmen classmates. >> it's always fun to talk to a bright-eyed rosy hued newcomer like yourself before washington squashes your spirit. so you are aware, aren't you, that as you head down there, that congress has the lowest approval rating ever? i think it's something, in the teens, it might be 13% approval

rating, so how are you going to tackle that feeling? >> well, you know, what happens is, your people at home, your constituents, they really love their representatives. so i'm going to go back to washington, d.c., and i'm going to represent the people of orange county to the best of my ability. >> okay, so you have made promises to your constituents. there is also this tone today in washington about collaboration, crossing the aisle, bipartisanship. is that what you promised your constituents? >> absolutely. you get the best policy when both sides come together, and when both sides understand that you each have to give a little bit, that's when you get your best policy and i think that's what the american people expect, and that's what the american people want, witnessed by this election on tuesday. >> tuesday's election brought the number of women in congress to more than 100. do you think that will change the way washington works? >> absolutely. i believe women are solution-oriented people.

think about it. i'm a mom of four kids. i'm usually a referee in my house. i'm the one that gets the phone call from a child if somebody's been mean at school or they haven't done well on an exam. i have to help them solve their problems and i think women, by nature, because most of us are moms, have that philosophy when there's a problem, let's figure out a solution to it. >> yes, women are master negotiators. you're so right. congresswoman-elect mimi walters, we wish you the best of luck on your new adventure to congress. >> thanks so much. >> pleasure to see you. let's go over to chris. >> what a rare treat we have for you this morning, a comedy icon, a smart and provocative writer and oscar nominee, john cleese, look at the genius on display! he's got an autobiography out and is going to be talking about it. look at that, he switches just like that. that's the genius, and he's back.

python's flying circus." he's an author, actor who appeared in movies ranging from "harry potter" to "james bond." talk about range. he also new autobiography. "so anyway" you've said that once or twice at a party. we're so pleased to have him with us. john cleese is in our studio. this is a delight. thank you for being here. >> it's lovely to be here. i've watched the show so often but never been in the studio. >> i was thinking as we were looking through the book i thought to myself, so this is a cambridge educated man about to embark on a profession in the legal realm. >> yes. >> what a different world it would be and i'm so glad it didn't turn out that way, selfishly speaking. >> otherwise i would have been a lawyer. >> heaven forbid. >> i escaped. >> you escaped. >> i was in this show, a little student review at cambridge and suddenly there was a guy in the

club room who said i love this show and want to put you on the west end. what? you're in english broadway. i said are you serious? he said yes, we ran for five months and i was in show business like that. >> thank goodness. >> i wrote to this great firm of lawyers who were solicitors of the bank of england and said i'm sorry, i'm not going to be a lawyer, i'm going into show business, they must have thought i was crazy. >> your memoir reveals your childhood and what influences created your warped sense of humor. >> thank you so much. interesting choice of words. it is a bit warped. w.c. fields said about professional comedians if a man dresses up as a woman and falls down a manhole most people laugh. to make a professional comedian laugh it really has to be an old woman. we have a slightly odd sense of humor because we can abstract

ourselves from the thought. >> abstracting the thought is brilliant. what i find wonderful how you fully admit to the fact this was humor for you was a survival technique. >> i think it was for a lot of -- peter cook, the greatest comedian ever produced he always said he started to make people laugh because he was bullied at school. when i went there, i was an only child of older parents, my dad was 46 when i was born, my mom was 40, which was quite old at the time, and i was brought up very much on my own. i didn't have good social skills and so when i went to school, i got bullied a bit. i was taller than the masters, but i still got bullied because i was physically so weak, and i found that if you can make people laugh, suddenly this feeling of warmth and acceptance. >> disarms people. >> it does. you know who have the beth jokes? >> who? >> salesmen. >> it's true. >> they walk in there, and they make a couple of jokes and that's the best way >> to warm the crowd. >> -- to melt the ice.

>> at what point did you start to recognize the cultural impact that you had had had with your work not just in the uk but literally certainly across this country, just about every continent? >> i remember there was one particular cartoon of george bush sr. when he was president, and it was a cartoon that involved the parent and i remember thinking to myself, my god, and you can't pick up a british newspaper in any given week there will be some reference to monty python, usually a dead parrot, what have the romans ever done for us. it's extraordinary, because when we started we had no idea. we were just making each other laugh. it was so wonderful. >> i think the most beautiful thing about it, it was really sort of an organic start. it wasn't something, we have to come up with a brilliant idea. >> it was so funny, because we wanted to do a show together, because we liked each other, and we'd never each other for two years and chapman and i had been writing for peter sellers.

>> why. >> when we were watching these kids' programs on at 4:30, which was the funniest thing on english television. we rang them, what about doing a show? we met the head of light entertainment and he said what are you going to do? i said we're going to do a funny show. he said yes but -- we said well, you know, humorous material. we had no idea what we were going to do. i promise you, no idea. listen to us, this pitying way and he said oh, go, make 13 programs. can you imagine that happening nowadays? >> no. >> that's something about creativity, the very fact that we had no idea what we were going to do. and we did it. we didn't know if anyone was going to laugh. >> boy, have we. >> i remember the tea lady, we made four shows, one the tea lady used to come around during rehearsal period gave us a cup of tea and she said i've never

seen such rubbish in my life, i don't know why we're wasting the license, paying money for this crap. it's not even being transmitted yet. >> she was a one-woman focus group. >> right and people didn't think it was particularly funny to begin with. it takes time. >> sometimes it takes time for people to catch on. i'm shocked pi reading through the notes on this, yeah, he doesn't like the meaning of life. i've always used that movie as a litmus test. if you don't like this movie there's something wrong with you. if you don't like the movie, there's something wrong with you. >> but we could never decide on a story. we spent two years sitting around writing funny stuff and we couldn't come one a story, what was great i think about "life of brian" it's a good story, otherwise we were just doing sketches. there are scenes, the fat man, i just love that. i just love that scene, terry jones played the fat man and directed it, one of the great, great artistic achievements to

write with him. >> it feels like one of the best gifts you can give, the gift of laughter. >> it feels like that more and more and more because just listening to the interview about washington, a 13% approval? >> right. >> it's clear to me in a democracy has failed. it doesn't work. you've got to move on and find something better. lord knows what that was. >> comedy. >> comedy at least, i was doing a talk show and i just, i was watching the audience and i thought this is really good. this is sort of sense of unitty and community in the audience, all doing the same thing and felt good. >> this is incredible and i think people will want to pick it up. it tells the story of leading up to "monty python's flying circus" really a pressure, john cleese thanks so much for coming. >> the book is brilliant. >> it is. >> objectively. >> objectively.

>> he's an objective critic. he doesn't like "the meaning of life." >> the bits about my mother. >> john cleese, thank you for being with us on "new day." >> thank you very much. >> brilliant example of what comedy can do for you in a good way. when we come back we'll talk about when comedy can get you into trouble, jon stewart and laughing at the idea of voting and then apologizing. was he telling the truth? wasn't he? what happened? sat down with christiane amanpour and got more than he bargained for.

didn't vote. >> i was being flip and i did vote today. i want to apologize because i shouldn't have been flip about that because i think he wasn't clear enough that i was kidding and sent a message that i didn't think voting with as important or i didn't think it was a big issue, and i do. and i did vote, and i was being flip and i shouldn't have done that. that was stupid, so i apologize.

i think chris john revealed something about him and the irony is rich because he spends his career pointing out absurdity and hypocrisy in government and the media, when he sees it, he does a good service, does a great job of it and somehow he was exposed in the process that he's not as engaged as we all think he is. >> and you think he was joking? >> i totally think he was. it's jon stewart "the daily show." here's the difference. on his show, his show is scripted. it is a highly produced show. look at his whole demeanor in how he does that show and how he was with christiane, very different. he was more relaxed, he was just sort of speaking off the cuff. he was being glib, he was being flip. it might not be as obvious because he doesn't have the studio lights about him. it's jon stewart being jon stewart. >> because he went back and apologized, because he knows tonally he was being flippant. >> or apologized because he got caught and he's a guy who takes himself seriously, a political

commentator and people take him -- >> not a political commentator in the same way we expect our political commentators to be. >> people take him seriously. every once in a while there's a poll, who do you get your news from? jon stewart. he will say i don't pretend to be a journalist but the show winds up projecting him as that and that's why there's a kerfufle. >> if we found a politician saying i don't know where to vote, that's something he would have highlighted so it was funny see him caught in the crosshairs of something like that. but he apologized and i'm sure he found a way to vote if he hadn't. >> by the time he talked to krais-an christiane. >> you hope so because there's some fan of bill o'reilly trying to find out. you can take it two ways and it's relevant because he is relevant in the political dialogue. but he's got a little taste of it, my brother.

how's it taste when it's coming your way? >> let's not be firing shots across the bow. >> the szish served cold, my friend. >> anyway we wish him well and he did do the right thing by the troops. lot of news this morning, a lot of things going on for you at "the newsroom," we take you there with poppy harlow in for carol costello. >> good morning, guys and on the record i just agree with all of you, nontrovers, controversy i'll agree with all of you this morning. >> taking a nonposition. >> exactly. good to see you this morning. good morning, everyone. thanks for joining us. i'm poppy harlow.
