state's governor said was no big deal because all tensions were basically fixed when the state elected that governor. just a word of suggestion, turning a blind eye is not the same thing as fixing. that's all for now. "the ed show" is up next. good evening, americans. and welcome to "the ed show," live from detroit lakes, minnesota. let's get to work! ♪ ♪ >> they need to go. it's all about power and control. >> can i make a prediction for you? a week from tomorrow i'll be elected majority leader of the senate. >> it's all about power, control. >> all time republican and it is

a moment for reflection. >> yeah. it's a moment of reflection. good to have you with us tonight, folks. thank for watching. it sounds like we're back to the word trust. where do the republicans go from here? after a win for republicans they will now focus on the 100-year majority. that's right. if they could get it, do you think they'd go for it? oh, yeah. republican party is all about one thing, and i've said it all along, power. they understand it and they use it. on wednesday congressman greg walden the chairman of the national republican committee made this very clear. >> these were blue districts we were competing in and we won. we won because we had talented candidates that the republicans in those districts nominated and we worked with them closely and barack obama's agenda was on the ballot and there was a referendum and we're back as a majority as big as any of us

have seen in a life times. it may be a 100-year majority. >> and they backed away from walden's comments. a spokesman told the hill, his reference has been it's been nearly a hundred years since we've seen a majority of this size. he wasn't suggesting in any way that the majority is safe for a hundred years. there is no doubt republicans want to realize that dream of 100-year majority. that's why they're doing everything they're doing. republicans are ruthless when it comes to power. they'll do anything to get it. republicans will do whatever it takes. that's their mentality at this point. they're gerrymandering districts and pass radical voter suppression laws and spend unlimited amounts of their own money, putting rich people up for offers. their own money to stay in power. case in point, florida. florida governor rick scott. the guy spent $13 million of his own money down the stretch in the final days before the election. how can you argue that this

didn't have an impact? it was the difference. scott won by just one percentage point. would you like to have that one back? now that the republicans have the power, their plan is in motion to keep it. rick scott and scott walker will continue their agenda of voter suppression to hurt democrats' chances in 2016 and it's not the number of seats republicans want. they've got the majority, but it's where they want them. republicans now have the demographics and they know that the demographics are against them. they want a stranglehold on the government and they want to be in the situation and the mission is to concentrate the wealth at the top and keep it that way. don't let them fool you with talk like this. >> i think the president choosing to do a lot of things unilaterally on immigration would be a big mistake. it's an issue that most of my members want to address

legislatively. >> hogwash across the board. >> republicans don't want to address immigration. they'll talk about it. it's a complete red herring. >> you see, republicans won't address immigration because they don't have to. they have the majority. they call the shots now legislatively. why in the world would they want to pass legislation that would move a bunch of people into the democratic roles? republicans are about enforcement when it comes to immigration reform. they're not about amnesty. not at all. it's what their base want. enforcement and low voter total. republicans will not give an inch on immigration. earlier today john boehner in his press conference made clear that his number one priority is not immigration reform. >> obamacare is hurting our economy. it's hurting middle class families and it's hurting the ability for employers to create more jobs.

and so at some point they'll move to repeal obamacare because it should be repealed and it should be replaced for common sense reforms and they've made them clear they're not for obamacare. >> a lot of them voted for obamacare. so my job is not to get along with the president just to get along with him although we actually have a nice relationship. the fact is my job is listen to my members and listen to the american people and make their priorities our priorities. so much for finding common ground and negotiating. i said on this program last night that republicans, they don't want to negotiate, they want to dictate. tomorrow baner and his cronies will head over to the white house and meet with the president and if he walks in there with that attitude it will be more gridlock, i hope, unless president obama says yeah. we'll do that, we'll do whatever you want to do. repealing obamacare is red meat

for the republican base. they now think they have a mandate. it's not killing jobs and the jobs report comes out tomorrow. if republicans really wanted to work with the president we wouldn't be hearing talk like that from boehner, but let's get back to immigration for a moment. they suppress the vote, okay? they talk a good game on immigration, but do you really think they would pass anything on immigration that would have barack obama's name on it? >> no. they're trying to get rid of something that barack obama has his name on which is healthcare right now. it's not a job killer. we've had 55 months of private sector job growth. what boehner is saying is all lies and he can't back that up with numbers and statistics whatsoever. the market closing in a record number again today. their plan is to get that majority for 100 years. that's their goal and this is what they want to do and they feel like they're in a position to do it. it's been a combination of

things. it's citizens united and gerrymandering the districts. it's making sure that they talk about immigration reform and never do anything about it. most of the people that would be affected by immigration reform will probably walk right into the democratic camp. why would the republicans do that and put barack obama's name on it. they don't have to do it. history changing for the conservative movement? no. they're still the same folks and they're not about any kind of amnesty. how in the world can you do immigration reform in this country when you have 20 million undocumented workers and all of a sudden you will say you have to jump, and deport 20 million people. it's not going to happen so they're not going to deal with it. they want low wages and it's okay for them to have undocumented workers in this country and they don't want more. so they'll go down the security

and no amnesty and oh, by the way, our right-wing caucus doesn't want anything to do with it and they'll talk about it. get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. tonight's question, can america survive a 100-year long republican majority. text a for yes, b for no. we'll bring you the results later on in the show. the table is set for them to realize that dream and think how many liberals across this country are thinking i would like to get into public service, but i just don't have the money to do it. for more let's bring in congresswoman ann shicowsky. congratulations on your reelection. >> thank you, ed. is this the biggest gop priority, to keep power, not to work with the president and do you believe and maybe i'm wrong, but i don't think i am, do you think that in generational terms

of the power grab and then the holding? they have to worry about the next two years because there's going to be a battle within the republican party. are they going to decide to govern or is the tea party going to continue to obstruct and when i heard the clip clips you paid for jon boehner. they'll repeal obamacare and mcconnel and boehner in their op ed today and health costs that continue to rise under a hopelessly flawed law that americans have never supported. oh, really? that is the big lie. healthcare costs have finally been under control and medicare is costing less than it ever has before. 10 million americans have health care, many for the first time in their lives. let them try to tell americans we're going to take that health care away from you now. i mean, that will be disaster. you talked about immigration.

if the republicans don't get right on immigration they will never elect a president of the united states again, but you're right. can they do it given the caucus in the house and in the senate. i think the republicans now that they're in charge, the democrats have to be ready to stand tall and push an agenda that we know the american people like. look at what happened on the referenda around the country. they want to raise the minimum wage. they want background checks for guns. they want a progress iive econoc agenda and the president has given them one. even forbes said in september that this may be -- this is the best economic president in recent history. >> yeah. do you think the republicans are susceptible to doing the overreach? that they would -- so in love with their legislative power that they might just go too far and have a backlash from the

public? i don't think they can help themselves. they talk about needing tax code reform. really? can they help themselves not to give tax breaks to the wealthiest americans? i doubt it very much, and that's what the american people are very against the siphoning off of wealth in this country meaning that most americans haven't had a raise in a generation and if they don't get it, the republicans will be doomed in two years. forget about 100 years. >> so do you think the democrats should go down the road and the filibuster on the senate side and go against as much partisan rejection? do you think they should take a page out of the republican playbook or is this going to be everyone loving up one another or let's get together because you guys won this election. what do you think will happen? >> i don't see that.

you have ted cruz and the tea party crowd. it would be great if the republicans decided to sit down and get a few things done that when they don't and they try to stick it to the middle class with tax breaks for ceos and big companies that ship jobs overseas and for the oil companies. >> yeah. >> then i think absolutely they have to stand up and do the filibuster and say, it took 60 votes and when the democrats were in charge, i can't see why they won't stand up for the middle class. >> do you think they'll get anything done on immigration or am i wrong on that and i don't think they're serious about it, not now, i don't think they have to. grour thoughts. >> i think the president promised that before the end of the year that he would do something on immigration. what will be the retaliation?

will we now hear the impeachment talk? none of that will do them any good over the next two years. >> okay. congresswoman jan schakowsky. let me bring in nbc political analyst and professor at georgetown university. what should be the obama reaction? what should the president do? michael, tomorrow you've got meetings with republicans and they'll be coming over the white house and they've already said they'll do. how should the president react? >> the president should say, look, congratulations for your victory. we understand the people of america have spoken and we understand two-thirds of them who were eligible didn't speak so let's not overrepresent what we heard and let's not think we have the fiscal integrity and stability of this nation that's come under the policies that president obama has put forward. however, you know there will be a pitch battle between the republicans and democrats over the pipeline over what happens in terms of tax reform and we're

trying to determine the status of health care, but the point that you've been making, ed is something that the president has to understand and that is to say that the gerrymandering of these districts on the state level has allowed republicans to rise to the top. take for instance in ohio. or in pennsylvania where it went on with tremendous intensity. the democrats won 44% of the vote and yet they only took five out of 18 seats which means they only have 27% of the seats that were collected and they got nearly half the vote because the republicans have been shrewd in determining at the state level that they will redraw these districts to favor them. so what has to happen is the democrats themselves have to stop running from the president and embrace the change and the transformation that has occurred because he's been in office and they have to figure out a way to go forward. i'm willing to work with you, but i'm not going to compromise

the integrity of the american people and the republicans who want to really challenge the economic and fiscal integrity of working class and middle class people. >> i hope the country doesn't get amnesia and totally forget about how these folks have worked over on the right. >> the record number of filibusters and the constant obstruction that's taking place and the negativity that's out there. >> right. >> talking down everything about the economy. so do you really think now that they have more power that they want to find common ground? dr. dyson, we're back to the word trust, right? i trust you'll do a heck of a job on this show. i trust you, but what about trusting these guys that got all of this power right now? >> i appreciate your trust and love your leadership, but the reality is i rather have ann schultz there because we know as you pointed out here and implied

very strongly they're in the seat as far as they're concerned and they don't feel like they're compromising much. the advantage one might have is that the tea party is so out of whack that it would allow the republican leadership, but i think, unfortunately what's going to happen is they'll be reinforced in their desire to obstruct the president and they want to reshift and figure out a way now to dismantle obamacare and i don't think they're much different than they are before and they feel they have a mandate and keep pointing back to the numbers that they were able to amass in this historic transition of power. >> i think they have to play that song on the white house it's 5:00 somewhere and have a cocktail hour. the president mentioned that yesterday. everything else had worked and you might as well go to drinking. good to have you with us, dr. dyson. we'll see you tomorrow night. i appreciate your time.

>> remember to answer tonight's question at the bottom of the screen and share your thoughts on twitter and facebook. we appreciate your response. the road to the white house for hillary clinton just got tougher, i think. what's her election strategy now? rapid response panel weighs in on that, but first, in light of tuesday's sweeping likz returns, republicans turn their focus to, yes, my favorite story, the keystone excel pipeline. they say it's a slam dunk. they want single legislation on it. we're right back. stay with us. introducing synchrony financial, bringing new meaning to the word partnership. banking. loyalty. analytics. synchrony financial. engage with us.

pipeline. our energy sector is booming and i'm happy to engage republicans with additional ideas. >> when you say energy these days people think of the keystone pipeline and that's only part of it. >> joining me is bernie sanders of vermont. good to have you with us tonight. >> a colleague of yours on the other side from north dakota where all of the oil is being pumped out of the ground said there will be over 60 supporters for a stand alone piece of legislation on keystone and that will be one of the first orders of business and what's your reaction to that news? well, i think if you listen to what the scientific community is saying overwhelmingly is that climate change is real. it is caused by human activity and it is causing devastating problems. so my response to senator holden is listen to the scientific community. we have got to, as a nation,

lead the world in transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel and into energy efficiency and sustainable energy. frankly, we will look like fools throughout the entire economy if we're advocating more and more dirty oil at the same time as we're talking about the need to combat global warming. so we have got to defeat the keystone pipeline and we have to rile up the american people to do it and president obama has to be strong on this issue. >> speaking of the president he was asked after mitch mcconne mcconnell's press conference. here's what he said about the keystone pipeline. >> our energy sector is improving and i'm happy to engage republicans for additional ideas as to how we can enhance that. >> keystone is one small aspect of a broader trend that's

positive for the american people. >> he gave a much lengthier answer than that. that's just a snippet of it and your reaction to his position the way it sounds right now, senat senator. >> look, my reaction is pretty simple. >> when people tell you that keystone is a jobs program, they're not telling you the truth. according to the state department it will create about 2,000 jobs, construction jobs over a two-year period and then about 50,000 jobs and invest a trillion dollars in doing that, a great 13 million jobs and not 2,000 jobs. so i think the answer to our energy crisis is respect what the scientists are saying, transform our energy system and into weatherization and move aggressively in wind, solar, geothermal and biomass. >> are you confident, senator, that the democrats can turn the

tide on keystone. they are bound and determined to have this bill. it's canadian oil and has to be refined in a special refinery and it's not going to bring the gas prices down and it will be thrown out on the world market and a big risk coming into the middle of the country over the aquifer. as i see it, very little upside. you will move oil by train or by truck or by pipeline. there are accidents everywhere. it's a big risk to us. do you think the democrats can stop it? >> i certainly hope so. we'll need the american people on our side to move aggressively in getting the congress to say no to this disastrous idea. you made a good point, ed is that this oil. a significant part of this oil is going to be exported to asia. in fact, there are at least three separate studies including

one at cornell that the refinery infrastructure, domestic prices will actually go up. so here we are doing something that will exacerbate climate change and will create a minimal amount of jobs that will enrich the companies in oilfields and do the refining and at the same time raise gas prices in the united states. this does not make a lot of sense to me. senator, finally, the results that came in on tuesday night. does that bring you any closer to a decision or warm your heart more about a bernie sanders run at the white house, run at the nomination and a run at the white house? does it change your thinking or enhance it in any way? >> there's nothing about tuesday night that warmed my heart, ed. that was a disastrous night. >> we are reaching out all over the country to ascertain what kind of support there is for a

campaign that takes on the enormously powerful billionaire class. we're not just talking with the koch brothers. we're talking about wall street, and i'm talking to people all over the country to kind of figure out what kind of support there is for that type of campaign. >> senator bernie sanders. good to have you with us tonight. appreciate your time. thanks so much. coming up, the clinton team is already talking strategy. rapid response panel weighs in on the clinton plan to 2016. breaking news on the adrian peterson case. keep it more. more on the viking runningback here. i'm taking your questions just ahead on the "the ed show."

okay. how long do you think it will take before americans realize the republican wave was a big mistake? honestly, about 60 days. really. i don't think it will be much longer -- we won't be too far into the new year before people say, what is going on? next question is from stephen. do you expect democrats in the senate to filibuster as often as the republicans did? no, i don't. i do think that there will be some filibusters, but it won't be a record and i don't think it will be anywhere near as many filibusters as what the republicans did. what the democrats are going to say is we're opposed to this, but we'll vote for this because you have the legislative power. can you pull out your veto pin on this one? i think they'll send a lot of stuff to the president to go along with it and let the president be the president. stick around. rapid response panel is next. i'm hampton pearson with

sgloof welcome back to "the ed show." it's going to be all hans on deck for the democratic donor class. in the aftermath of tuesday's result, liberal donors are turning their attention to the

2016 presidential contest. they don't have any time to waste. democratic super packs are ready to back a white house bid by hillary clinton. to reach everybody through the phones, door, email, whatever it takes. >> interesting comment. reach everybody. priority's usa action would be the advertising vehicle for a clinton run. a spokesman for the big money super pac said it would not begin collecting contributions unless and until clinton announces her candidacy. the clinton folks will have to re-examine their approach for 2016, as i see it. hillary's campaign of 2008 was exclusive and non-responsive. you know, lighten up a little bit. talk to everybody. there can't be any democratic clubs or any media clubs or people that you might not talk to because it might hurt you, that's how the clinton campaign

was in 2008 as i remember it. it will have to be all hands on deck, you know what i mean? joining me tonight in the rapid response panel, adrian elrod and she also worked for hillary clinton in 2008 and also with us and worked for bill clinton, as well, in the white house. and democratic strategist and founder of bullfight strategies. good to have both of you with us. >> am i to assume. >> you bet. >> adrian, let me ask you first, am i to assume that a clinton candidacy would be different from what we saw in 2008? >> i disagree with what you just said. she ran a very inclusive campaign last time and if she runs for president this time she'll run an inclusive campaign wz pell last time it was a competitive primary and based on an array of issues and if she runs for president again, she will run a very inclusive

campaign as she did last time. >> well, i'm not trying to make the case that liberal talk radio in america was so penetrating that it made any kind of difference, but there is a base out there and barack obama was all over it and hillary clinton wasn't, and i know a lot of liberal talkers in this country and there are about 50 of us across the country that felt like hillary wasn't connected and that's where my comment comes from on that. it was almost like there were certain clubs in the media that certainly were untouchable dealing with mark pan. he was completely impossible of liberal media. that's my take. so if it will be that way with hillary, she'll have problems on the left. what do you think? >> i take adrian's point and i don't disagree with you and i tend to fall where you are in that i would like to see differences in the way she runs this campaign and i think that

secretary clinton and her folks understand that they've got to get her the best asset that they have is the candidate is secretary clinton and for her, the moments where she's out and she's personal and she's herself and accessible is when she's electric and she's dynamic and if they run a campaign that way then she'll be unstoppable. >> i couldn't agree more with what eric just said and, look, we're looking forward, not backward and that's what the american people want and again, just demonstrating how overwhelmingly popular hillary clinton is. she made 45 stops between september and election day for democrats across the country. we're looking forward in hillary clinton if she runs for president will run a campaign based on the issues that matter to all americans. >> i don't disagree with that. i don't think there's any doubt and there's no question that they had a work ethic. both the clin his a work ethic that was unparalleled in trying to get the democrats to get more power legislatively in this

country. what about the backers in super pacs, adrian? did tuesday night mean anything at all? what do you think? >> well, you know, first of all, let me just tell you this, where correct the record was formed there were 12 super pacs that had filed with the sole intent with taking downhillry. we've tried to raise money and make sure we pushed back against anybody who distorts her record out there and there's a lot of money out there that's trying to distort her record, number one and number two, you are seeing a massively unprecedented effort around an unannounced potential candidate for president. ready for hillary has raised tons of money from tens of dozens of donors and much of the donations are over $50. you are seeing a massive support for someone who is not a

candidate and it's unifying the democratic party going into 2016. >> if i can just jump in and say on what adrian says, as we've seen the 2016 campaign just having begun, you're right about them going after hillary clinton and they're very focused and direct and aggressive way which is why organizations are so critically important and i think adrian's right that it's coming not just from inside washington and a lot of people that are passionate on seeing hillary clinton become the first woman president in the country. >> does the clock change, adrian? does the clock change because of what happened on tuesday? is it still going to be like the traditional time when most people step out and hay, i want to be president. what do you think? >> first of all, as we all know election day was two days ago, election day 2014. so we just came off of an election. number two, i don't think the

clock has changed. i think there's a lot of outside groups out there that are possibly trying to change the clock, but look again, as she runs for president she'll make some decision in her own time and i'm confident that if she runs and when and if she announces that timeline will be on one that works for her. what's your advice for hill cree clinton? my advice is to run like if you're running to city council. be hillary clinton and be yourself. when she's herself she's fantastic and people connect on a personal level. if anything was in 2008 and i've watched her do it a number of times in the last year or so and i think that is the key and i loan they'll do that. >> adrian elrod, eric burns, appreciate your time on this. thanks so much. we have breaking news on adrian peterson. that case, keep it here, we'll have it for you on "the ed

show." football news tonight. moments ago, nike announced they have terminated their designated hitter with adrian peterson. peterson pled no contest to a misdemeanor on tuesday. he accepted a $4,000 fine and 80 hours of community service. the vikings running back faced felony child abuse charges, which was supposed to have a sentence to it. peterson disciplined his child with a switch at his texas home last summer. the vikings running back pled to a lesser charge, and now wants to put the incident behind him. >> i take full responsibility for my actions. i love my son more than any one of you could even imagine, and i'm looking forward to and i'm anxious to continue my relationship with my child. >> the mother of the child says

she's ready to move on as well. in a statement she expressed her confidence in peterson as a parent. the mother said she has no interest in peterson's career being harmed. she hopes the nfl will not impose additional punishment. peterson lawyer hopes the running back will be back on the field within the month. >> what's the nfl going to do? are they really going to say they know better what ought to be happened here than the criminal justice system? i'm hoping they will accept what's happened here as the appropriate disposition of this case. >> the nfl says the plea agreement doesn't mean a green light for the running back. the nfl will review adrian's case against their personal conduct policy before making a recommendation, and sending it on to the commissioner of the nfl. and that process could take weeks. peterson's peter will be in the hands of commissioner roger goodell. i'm joined again by michael eric

dyson. dr. dyson, $4,000 fine, and 80 hours of community service. is this the short arm of justice, what do you think? >> well, it was the appropriate response, the judge felt, in light of the fact that it was his first offense. he doesn't have a previous criminal record. but in the court of human opinion and in the court of popular perception, it may be a difficult way to go. clearly in the mother of the child has indicated that she thinks that adrian peterson has done enough, if you will, of time by being denied opportunity to be on the football field, and more important, of learning this is not the appropriate way to handle your child's discipline. and i think that the most important consideration here is the child. the most important consideration is that mr. peterson understand that there is a vicious consequence to this kind of violent assault upon one's child. and at the same time, if he's paid his due before the court,

then the nfl has to decide what will occur here, and roger goodell is in a difficult situation. were it not for the ray rice situation, i think that what happened the other day with adrian peterson would stand. he would be given time served, so to speak, and allowed to run on the field. i think it's a lot more complicated than that right now. >> it is complicated. and the mother didn't report to authorities. it was the doctor who said that there were injuries to the child consistent with child abuse. >> right. >> which, it was a professional opinion on this. >> sure. absolutely. >> and this was a huge story in the nfl weeks ago. how's the league going to maintain its credibility if in a month they say, adrian, come on back? can they do that and make it work? >> i doubt it will be that simple. because roger goodell has to weigh the impact on the child's life, and to discourage future,

if you will discipliners of their children in acting in such a bold fashion. he's in new territory here because he's dealt with the abuse of dogs, he's dealt with the abuse of women, with the abuse of other men, so to speak, but not with the abuse of a child. they're trying to chart new territory here. on the one hand, he has to send a signal it's not acceptable to treat your child in such a fashion. on the other hand, he doesn't want to overplay his hand so he ends up getting brought before the judge and jury of the nfl, so to speak, the same way he's being brought to bear now, to interview and give a deposition in the case of ray rice. so he's got to balance the consideration of what he is setting here as a precedent and also establishing a just response to adrian peterson and the protection of not only his child, but all children of nfl players. >> what do you make of nike's action? nike is one of most high profile

sports sponsors in the entire industry of professional sports in dealing with athletes. they made the decision, they terminated the deal. >> right. >> that's the decision they make. why wouldn't the nfl do that? >> well, absolutely right. clearly nike has said, this is not the kind of association, the image of somebody who was brutalizing a vulnerable, 4-year-old child, who was incapable of defending himself. on the other side, people will say, you're going too far. this man was disciplining his child. we know it was wrong. we know it was offensive. we know it amounts to what is considered child abuse. but let's not pile on him and pretend he's the only person in the country to do so. i get that argument, but the reality is, you have the benefit of being a superstar in the nfl and the millions of dollars that accrue to you as a result of your extraordinary fame, have you to pay the price for being representative and symbolic of another group of people who are

offended and that is children. and there are very few people here to speak for the child. people speak up on behalf of women as they should. people speak up on behalf of dogs. pita and others are out there. but those who speak up on behalf of the children are far more sparse. so the reality is, nike said, we will not tolerate the kind of association of our image with this kind of reprehensible behavior. and they've spoken in bottom-line, commercial fashion. >> well, time and space and a good lawyer can do a lot of things. when this story broke out, there was conversation this guy would never put on a uniform again. there was conversation the vikings would never have him back, that he'd be gone. now it's $4,000 and basically two weeks, two 40-hour weeks of community service. the viking players, some of them are saying they want him to come back. i think it's a pretty amazing turnaround. and it's one to watch. no question about that. missing the season would be

appropriate. that's what i would say. plus, the guy has gotten paid all year long. dr. dyson, thanks for doing the show. tomorrow night, i will be on outdoor assignment, as they call it. that's "the ed show." "politicsnation" with reverend al sharpton starts right now. >> good evening, and thanks to you for tuning in. tonight's lead, meet the new gop. same as the old one. the gop's new spirit of togetherness lasted about as long as one of john boehner's golf games. just a day after incoming senate majority mcconnell gave some conciliatory words about the way forward, speaker john boehner slammed that door shut when he went after president obama for his intention to take executive action on immigration. >> i've made clear to the president that if
