welcome to "cbs this morning." president obama says the republicans' sweeping election victory will not make him change his priorities or his staff. he told reporters that tuesday's results, means, quote, this democracy is working. the gop will control the senate and house for the first time in eight years. >> the president did say he's optimistic that washington will become more productive. major garrett is at the white house where president obama held his post-election conference. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. it's no secret here. president obama and the incoming majority leader mitch mcconnell don't know each other very well and have a long history of talking past instead of to each other. that's going to have to change if they intend do anything more in the next two years but squabble. president obama has a well-deserved reputation for keeping congressional republicans at arm's length. after another midterm pasting, mr. obama said that will have to

change, whether he likes it or not. >> i'm certainly going to be spending a lot more time with them now because that's the only way that we're going to be able to get some stuff done, and i take them at their word, that they want to produce. they're in the majority. they need to present their agenda. i need to put forward my best ideas. >> clashes are inevitable over immigration, health care, and energy policy, though mr. obama and the gop senate leader mitch mcconnell both said they might be able to cut deals on expanding trade in asia and europe and building roads, bridges and new ports at home. mcconnell found few words to describe his relationship with mr. obama, labeling it cordial. >> there's no -- not a personality problem here or anything like that. i think my attitude about all this at this point is trust, trust but verify. >> the president rejects the idea that if he simply spent

more time informally with republicans, deep partisan divides would dissolve. that sparked this at the dinner. >> some folks still don't think i spend enough time with congress. why don't you get a drink with mitch mcconnell, they ask. really? why don't you get a drink with mitch mcconnell. >> but tuesday's ballot box rout forced the president to belly up to a new political reality. >> you know, actually i would enjoy having some kentucky bourbon with mitch mcconnell. i don't know what his preferred drink is. my interactions with mitch mcconnell, he has always been very straightforward with me. to his credit he has never made a promise that he couldn't deliver. >> the president will meet with mcconnell and other congressional leaders here on friday. among those attending, house

minority leader pelosi and house majority leader. the president has one positive memory of mcconnell his work to dissolve the 2014 fiscal cliff showdown that diverted government default. the only problem is that deal came months after gridlock and no one here is eager to repeat that showdown. >> now it happens again. we'll see. mitch mcconnell and john boehner spell out their priorities this morning in "the wall street journal." they criticize legislators for blocking things in the senate. mcconnell and boehner say, quote, we will make it our job to prove the skeptics wrong. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with changes coming in the senate. nancy, good morning to you. >> good morning. leader mcconnell is not mincing words about the body he's about to head up. he says the senate doesn't work it doesn't function, that they don't do anything and that he's going to make changes right away. >> the senate in the last few years basically doesn't do anything. >> in kentucky the man who will

likely lead the senate says he wants to work with president obama but a fight is already brewing over immigration. >> 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. >> president obama says he will take unilateral action to fix part of the nation's broken immigration system unless congress acts quickly itself. >> what we can't do is keep on waiting. there's a cost to waiting. there's a cost to our economy. it means that resources are misallocated. >> mcconnell vowed to move swiftly on other issues and said he plans to send legislation to the president's desk that approves the keystone xl pipeline and approve a medical tax that helps to pay for obama care and he made this promise. >> there will be no government shutdowns. no default on the national debt. >> he also vowed to hold hearings on the irs to investigate claims of partisan bias. but even within his own party,

mcconnell will need to cope with members who want him to move further to the right, like ted cruz of texas who, along with a handful of his gop colleagues, is looking to make a splash as the clock counts down to 2016. mcconnell says he's not worried. >> i have no problem with people's ambitions. i serve in a body with a bunch of class presidents. they're all ambitious or they wouldn't be where they are. >> mcconnell says he wants to trust but verify. democrats say they want to trust but verify that he's actually going to eliminate some of the grid lock around here. they argue that he's been responsible for a lot of that gridlock and in the times he has tried to work with the president, norah, often his conservative members have yanked him back again. >> all right, nancy. thank you. a kidnapped philadelphia woman is safe and with her family this morning. federal agents rescued her in a baltimore suburb more than 100 miles from where she was taken. they say surveillance video

showing the suspect was key to cracking the case. vinita nair are telling us why police are thanking tipsters. good morning. >> good morning. carlesha freeland-gaither was released from the hospital where she was treated for minor injuries. the 22-year-old survived a vileant abduction and about three days with her abductor. her mother was one of the first people to speak with her over the phone. >> she was very upset. she was crying, and she just was asking for me. she told me she missed me, come get her. >> last night, they were reunited. 22-year-old carlesha freeland survived this vicious abduction and nearly 72 hours with her captor. the nursing assistant was just blocks from home when she was snatched sunday night in north philadelphia. >> as of now, there's no relation that they know each other. >> 37-year-old delvin barnes was arrested in maryland. he's being held on six felony warrants in virginia unrelated to this case for alleged crimes including attempted murder and assault. >> he's a vicious predator. he's off the streets.

hopefully, he'll be in jail for the rest of his life. >> reporter: on tuesday, authorities in philadelphia released this surveillance video and called the man in it a person of interest in a kidnapping. it was taken from a gas station in aberdeen, maryland. police say he used freeland-gaither's atm card. at a bank 80 miles away just nine hours after the abduction. federal authorities tracked him to this strip mall in jessup maryland. atf agents spotted them together in his ford taurus and moved in. carlesha's mother thanked the philadelphia police and she said she was buoyed by a promise made to her by detective jim sloane. >> he sat in my kitchen, in front of me and told me i'm bringing your daughter home i'm bringing your daughter home. i said all right. he said no i'm bringing your daughter home. and he brought my baby home. >> thank you. >> he brought her right home. >> such a wonderful ending to this story. police say barnes will be charged federally with crimes related to this kidnapping. police were reportedly aided by a gps device placed inside his

car. a car salesman apparently put the extra feature on the car because he was worried about barne's alleged bad credit. >> wow. that's interesting. >> interesting twist. >> vinita, thanks. tensions are on the rise this morning in israel after two separate palestinian attacks. militants drove cars into crowds of people. the reason for the violence may have routes in prayer rules at the temple mount religious site. allen pizzey is there where the israeli prime minister is trying to ease the friction. allen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we, the issue is as much political as it is religious. and the israeli authorities believe that their own right wing politicians must bear some of the blame for the recent spate of unrest. overnight a van was driven three israeli soldiers. on the west bank. the attack caught on cc tv cameras left all three injured. it was the accident incident in

less than 24 hours. earlier on wednesday in another car attack recorded by cameras, a policeman was killed and 13 people were injured when a palestinian man slammed his car into a train station and bus stop in jerusalem. he then attacked pedestrians with an iron bar before being shot dead. this morning a cement barrier was put in place to prevent future attacks. police said the attacker had tied to the militant palestinian group hamas. the focal point, some say cause of the rising tension and violence, is temple mount. israeli riot police moved in to clear barricades set up by palestinian protesters after right-wing politicians prepared to pray at the site on wednesday. the area is sacred to both jews and muslims but jews are only to pray there under strict conditions. despite caution from israeli prime minister netanyahu to tread cautiously, right wingers have been making a point to push limits prompting fears by

palestinians that they were prepared to take over the sight. palestinians in jordan responsible for the al aqsa mosque urged the u.n. security council to command them to stop these violations at the site. a short while ago a palestinian man surrendered to israeli police, saying he was the one who ran down three soldiers on the west bank but no one expected that to be the end of such attacks. norah. >> all right, allen, thank you. isis is out with new video that appears to be the first footage of fighters using surface-to-air missiles.

rice wants to overturn his future punishment for knocking out his wife. >> good morning. ray rice's appeal is being heard by a former federal judge. it started just one day after another former disgraced former nfl star all pro runnings back vikings adrian peterson pled in his case. ray rice was not very talkative before the start of the appeal but during the hearing, the man who kicked him out of the nfl said plenty. according to espn nfl commissioner roger goodell was grilled by a lawyer for the players union. rice contends that he is the victim of double jeopardy. he had already served a two-game suspension when tmz released this video of rice punching his then fiance. prompting the baltimore ravens to cut him and nfl to suspend him indefinitely. goodell told norah o'donnell in september that the graphic video called for a stiffer punishment. >> but what changed? did you really need to see a

sidosid o videotape of ray rice punching her in the face to make this decision? >> no, we certainly did. i'll tell you what we saw in the first videotape was troubling in and of itself and that's why we took the action we took. as i said before, we didn't feel that was sufficient. we didn't get that right. but what we saw yesterday was extremely clear, is extremely graphic, and it was sickening. >> the arbitrator hearing rice's appeal is expected to render her decision quickly and with the child abuse case against minnesota vikings running back adrian peterson resolved earlier this week the nfl could soon face the possibility of both men suiting up again. >> they have to find a way, going forward, have a policy in place so if you're arrested you're charged, you're convicted, you know exactly what you're getting and your teams know too. >> today ray rice and his wife are expected to testify but they will do so separately. now, that's a dramatic change

from when they first told their story to roger goodell, when abuser and victim were questioned together in the same room. charlie. >> don, thanks. the drummer of the rock band ac/dc is accused in an alleged murder plot. phil rudd was charged in a new zealand court for attempting to hire a hit man to kill two people. he's also charged with drug possession. if convicted he could face ten years behind bars. police raided his home this morning. the names of the alleged victims were not released. rudd is out on bail this morning. acdc was due to release an album that is due to come out next month. >> taylor swift may have left country music but nashville still has plenty of great music to offer. it was on display last night at the cma awards. jan crawford with the lights. it was a great show. good morning. >> it was. the great thing about last night was just seeing these legends of country music right there with today's stars, even last night, some pop stars all gathered at

it, president obama doesn't care about postpartum taylor swift disorder. >> i'm pretty sure that's why the democrats lost the senate. >> other pop stars not named taylor swift joined the party. meghan trainor teamed up with miranda lambert and ariana grande sang alongside little big town. there has to be some controversy. brad paisley stirred up a little with this joke. >> if any of you tune in to abc tonight expecting to see the new show "blackish," yeah, this ain't it. in the meantime i'm hoping you're all enjoying whitish. but the night was all about the music and the awards. with country music's power couple, blake shelton and lambert, taking home a combined five trophies including album of the year honors for lambert. >> i cry every time.
