hour of msnbc live. andrea mitchell starts right now. florida, florida, florida. three statewide automatic recounts are underway. including the big races for senate and governor. republicans falsely accuse democrats of trying to steal the election and try to cut off the ballot account. >> i won the election, there's a normal recount. there was a big turnout. there's an automatic recount. bill nelson is clearly a sore loser. an american in paris. memorializing the end of world war i. >> thank davita. thank you, frank. thank you very much. you look so comfortable up there under shelter as we're getting drenched, you're very smart people. and california burning,

wildfires rage in northern and southern california, forcing thousands of people to flee for their lives. >> the lights in front of me on the vehicle in front of me, they were melting, and i called my husband, and i'm crying hysterically, i said, nick, i'm going to die. i can't get out of my car, it's on fire, i'm going to die. and he said don't die, run, get out of your car and run. good day, everyone, president trump continues to claim fraud in the florida recount, although republican officials have not made such a claim in court. the president says it's time to move on in georgia. democrat stacey abrams is pushing for more ballots to be counted to hit the trigger for a runoff against outgoing secretary of state brian kemp. the slow counting of ballots

continues with kristen cinema in the lead over margaret mcsally. joining me now, steve kornacki at the big board. ally first to you, where do we stand today with the recount in florida, in the governor and senate races? >> andrea, both of those recounts are underway. the one place that's getting a lot of scrutiny now, is palm beach county, and broward county. we heard that the rick scott campaign was seeking an injunction to put more law enforcement around the machines and ballots in broward county. and the judge said he didn't think he had the evidence to make that happen, but he suggested that, and these parties are going to reconvene in about an hour. he suggested that maybe you put three sheriffs who don't report to the supervisor of elections there, who has become a controversial figure in this. but he said something else that

was interesting. you mentioned in your show open, people have been talking about fraud, but not providing any evidence of that, the judge took note of that, and cautioned everyone to tamp their rhetoric down. what's said in these election offices is taken seriously. when you hear rick scott and the president of the united states and other republicans coming out and talking about fraud, or ballots coming up out of nowhere, there's been no evidence of that, i think that's important as we go forward with the legal side of this and the recount itself. >> in broward county, brenda snipes was put in by a republican governor after the mess that we all remember from 2000. and she's hardly a democratic official. or someone doing the bidding of the democratic candidates there. moving on to georgia. morgan radford, this is a different situation. this is not a situation of an

automatic recount. this is stacey abrams who came in second in the original count trying to reach that threshold for an automatic runoff. >> that's right, in fact, andrea, she's fighting to get a recount. we're live at the kolb county election head quarters, as we speak, the board is meeting to certify those ballots, and again, everything here is surrounding those provisional ballots, those coming from the voters in the military, and those overseas. to give you a sense of those things on the ground. kolb county is one of several counties trying to count the ballots. the question is, which way are these votes going to go. the abrams team saying, we need shy of 20,000 votes in order to trigger that recount. or if we want that runoff on december 4th, we need slightly more than those 20,000 votes. brian kemp's team is saying her

failure to concede is a disgrace to democracy. i won fair and square, you can't be upset because you lost. when it comes to the time line, all of these counties have been given until tomorrow, tuesday at 5:00 p.m. to make sure their ballots are certified, and the state would then give their tallies on wednesday, the abrams team yesterday saying, they were going to file a federal lawsuit, and that was to give these counties an extra day to count, until wednesday. it's still a fight to the finish here in georgia, as giorgians wait with baited breath to find out who their next governor is going to be. >> very quickly, the offices there, are they closed today, because it is officially the commemoration of veterans' day. >> just some of them. this one here, kolb county, they are open. and their election officials have been working around the clock. they started counting at 8:00 a.m., a lot of those workers are working today on a federal holiday, that is just so that

georgians can get their answer. at the big board, steve kornacki, i hope you got a little bit of a break over the weekend. let's talk about the races we're watching. first, arizona, if you will, because we haven't caught up on where the remaining votes that have not yet been counted. and we know that arizona always does this slow count. where are the remaining votes and will sinema continue her lead or is there a lots of mcsally vote out there? >> yeah, we're in over time in a couple places. mcsally down by a little more than 30,000 votes. our decision desk has not called this race, basically still a considerable number of votes to come in. basically, there's two categories of votes that have been counted in the last couple days, let me see if i can write this here, you can call early, votes that were mailed in, sent

in well before election day last week, the weekend before, a couple days before. the expectation was, those votes, for whatever reason they tended to be much more favorable to sinema. that's why she has been able to catch mcsally in the last couple days. what we're moving into, the same day folks, folks who had ballots, they were mailed to their homes. they cast them in person. still a lot of those. the republican contention has been that this batch of votes would favor mcsally, when you looked at the votes that were cast on election day, people in person on election day, they tended to be more republican. however, i should say, von hilliard, who's been following this closely, has crunched the numbers and found that even the same day vote in maricopa county, which is more than half the state, actually narrowly favored sinema. that republican cone tension that this gap was going to be made up by those ballots that

were dropped off same day, that's looking very shaky right now, our decision desk has not called this race, you want to see those votes get counted to see if there's a surprise there, barring that kind of a surprise, it would be a big surprise at this point, sinema is in a good position there. >> florida, that arizona senate seat, you have an example of the ballot that some people say may have confused some people. we're not talking hanging chads, we're still talking about the way the ballot itself in some counties looked. >> yeah, in one county in particular, let's look at the senate race, that's three times as close. the gap statewide, nelson is trailing by 12,564 votes, heading into this recount. now, you see if the recount changes that at all. but the issue that's looming

over this, comes from broward county, right here, it's a gigantic county, 2 million people live here. it's a democratic bastian. nelson winning broward by a better than two to one margin. however, if you look at the vote returns closely in broward county, there are 26,000 fewer votes that were cast in this senate race than in the race for governor many. and that is an anomaly that you do not see in any other florida county. >> something happened to cost 26,000 fewer votes to be cast for senator than governor. nelson's campaign is claiming there's some kind of machine reading error here, if that is true, if that is the case, you're going to have a manual recount. that would be picked up in a manual recount. you mention the other possibility here is this, it is ballot design, this is the ballot for broward county, can

you see what they did here. long list of instructions in the left column, underneath that list of instructions you get the race for u.s. senate. the governor's race, where there were 26,000 more votes cast, prominently in the middle column, a bunch of candidates, lots of spacing between them, hard to miss the governor's race, maybe a little easier to miss the senate race, and then there's this. a part of broward county, represented by a congressional district where there wasn't even a congressional race on the ballot. so this other race, that you see in this broward ballot, in part of the county, that wasn't there, you just had the instructions in the senate race and in that part of the county, the number of no votes in the senate race went through the roof. that looms large when you're looking at a 12,000 vote gap statewide in all those undervotes, andrea. >> what a surprise. shocking. broward county. again messing up an election. how is that possible? thank you so much, steve kornacki. hope you catch a break.

now to a terrible tragedy. the wildfires raging out of control. 31 people have already died. hundreds of thousands of others have been forced to evacuate, including one father who calmed his daughter by singing as they drove through the flames. >> we're not going to catch on fire, okay? >> okay. >> we're going to stay away from it. we're going to be just fine, okay? >> okay. >> we're doing all right. ♪ baby it will be all right >> you did it, you did it. >> we did it together. >> and that dramatic foot around, of course up north, officials still searching for hundreds of people unacted for after the camp fire blaze in the sierra foothills, destroying the entire town of paradise, california. kathy park is in southern california covering the woolsey

fire. i know you've been all over the state burning homes, streets, roads, it's been unbelievable, i don't know how you've gotten through it, and how all the people of california are getting through this. >> yeah, andrea, it's been a difficult several days, the fire broke out on thursday, the woolsey fire. i've been covering since then. the devastation is jaw dropping to see we're in the community of westlake village, where this entire block has been reduced to rubble. and i want to give you some new numbers right now. only 20% containment with the woolsey fire. the big challenge for firefighters today is going to be the santa ana winds which could change the direction of this fire, but then again, taking a different turn, the issue of the wildfires became

political over the weekend when president trump tweeted this controversial tweet, he said, there is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in california, except that forest management is so poor, billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forest. remedy now or no more fed payments. so that received a lot of backlash from state officials as well as firefighters here in the golden state. the president of the big firefighters union was pretty upset with this, and said this was ill timed, they need to focus on these wildfires right now. jerry brown said their focus is going to be on the fires. that is going to be their priority. back here in this community in southern california, this is a reality for a lot of folks, still thousands of people have been evacuated. a lot of people don't even know

that their homes are now gone. andrea? >> kathy park, thank you. and thank you for everything you've been doing. extraordinary coverage for days and days, and the whole team of nbc and msnbc out there. rain check, why did president trump miss one of the most important ceremonies this weekend in the armistice celebration in paris? about 50% of people with evesevere asthma k?

have too many cells called eosinophils in their lungs. eosinophils are a key cause of severe asthma. fasenra is designed to target and remove these cells. fasenra is an add-on injection for people 12 and up with asthma driven by eosinophils. fasenra is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions. fasenra is proven to help prevent severe asthma attacks, improve breathing, and can lower oral steroid use. fasenra may cause allergic reactions. get help right away if you have swelling of your face, mouth, and tongue, or trouble breathing. don't stop your asthma treatments unless your doctor tells you to. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection or your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. haven't you missed enough? ask an asthma specialist about fasenra. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

frank davita. thank you, frank. thank you very much. you look so comfortable up there under shelter, as we're getting drenched. you're very smart people. >> president trump in france on sunday, joking about getting rained on during a ceremony marking veterans day to world war ii veterans this after the president cancelled a scheduled trip to an american cemetery to honor service members who died in world war i due to rain. it's all reminiscent of his aversion to rain the saturday after the massacre in pittsburgh. >> the wind was blowing and the rain -- and i was soaking wet, and that's what i ended up with today.

and i said, well, at least you know it's mine. i said, maybe i should cancel this arrangement because i have a bad hair day. >> it's all about hair. joining me now, retire d militay captain. welcome all. you all have great hair, except for jeff. >> i've got great hair, just not a lot of actual hair. >> general mccaffrey, first to you, the president didn't attend -- was never planning to attend the peace conference in paris with the world leaders. second of all, he decided not to go because he couldn't fly marine one, because of the rain and the fog on saturday. not to go to bellow woods, which was a significant world war i

conflict for american soldiers. and he did it because he would have had to take a car instead of flying in the rain to the cemetery. really notable, a number of missteps on this trip. >> it's not just bad optics and bad politics. world war i was the most consequential war in history, brought the united states on to the world stage, we had 300,000 killed and wounded in a six month campaign. and bella wood where the marine brigade was prominent, was a key part of that whole effort, it was a good argument the u.s. saved europe in world war i. we had 2 million soldiers in france, 2 million more coming, mr. trump didn't get the historical importance of all this in front of 80 world leaders. it was a real mistake. bad signal to the armed forces. >> as white house correspondent, and you've watched closely this

macron relationship, what macron said at that ceremony on saturday, was so extraordinary. let me play a little bit of it, and get you to react. >> patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism by saying, our interests first, who cares about the others. we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what makes it grace. >> you've got nationalism on the rise in europe, in germany, with merkel about to leave the stage as party leader, in poland in hungary, italy, and sort of subdued now in france partly by macron's election, this was such a rebuke to the president of the united states who said, i'm a

nationalist and rejects any questions about that. >> it's a term he embraces and he likes, it's interesting that rebuke came from perhaps the leader in europe to whom he is the most close, macron. although, that relationship also seems to be under a little bit of strain, which we saw evidence of this weekend even before that speech when the president reacted very unfavorably to what macron had said about a european military. it was rebuke, both to the president and to his embrace of the term nationalism, as well as to the rise of nationalism in many countries in europe, and the impact that is having on the european union as a hole. the. >> the same day the president cancelled his event. you saw macron putting out a picture of himself and angela merkel at their same event, equally distance from paris, they managed to get into cars and drive.

>> anyone could have made the trip, to quibble over the mode of transportation, and as the general points out, it's such a solemn occasion, and it's a layup for the president. any president can rise to that occasion. because it's not hard to honor the dead. and to call out frank davita, the veteran sitting because the way it was set up, he was under a shelter, as if he's having it easy, and the president is having it hard on that day. and this is the president who got out of serving at all on the basis of bone spurs. it was so easy for him to do the right thing on that occasion, not squabble with macron, not have his eyes light up as he reaches over as putin arrives, it was the only moment in which he came to life. >> his facial expressions in that photo op with macron on saturday was -- >> he was petulant, angry.

>> why would you squabble on an occasion like that. >> general mccaffrey, you're in washington partly because of your annual reunion of army rangers from vietnam. this is a president who had a bone spur and never served in vietnam, even though he was of the age to have drafted if not to have volunteered. >> what are you thinking about all of this as we have 5200 troops already deployed. he said he was going to go up to 15,000. we're going to be at our southern border over thanksgiving holiday, who are not doing their normal training, who are doing -- sort of make do assistance because they cannot -- >> well, the twitter verse has been alive with all this. first of all, it's legal, the president has the authority to send active or reserve troops to the border. and president bush and obama did surges of a sort. this was clearly a political

stunt. you have a few thousand desperate people out of central america. i spent a lot of time down there in justice, poverty, violence. they're fleeing an economic situation they can't deal with, so it's a humanitarian problem, it is an immigration problem, but the last thing you really need are combat engineers and military policemen. it was a political gesture leading up to the midterms. >> and we have quit to hear from general mattis and general dunford about this. >> they're supposed to be responsive and loyal to the commander in chief under the constitution. i think mattis who is worshipped by the armed forces will follow the law. and he's a defense intellectual. and i think dunford is first class strategic thinking. and fortunately, we have john kelly in the white house, whose reputation is now being shredded

by his association of the president of the united states. we're okay until we see those personalities disappear if they do so in the coming months. >> stay tuned, thank you so much. general mccaffrey, it's always good to see you. especially on veteran's day. coming up, becoming candid revelations about michelle obama from the south side of chicago to the white house, and what's happened since the trump administration took over. you're watching the andrea mitchell report, stay with us. >> i know that laura bush reached out to you. and said, if you need any help i'm a phone call away. >> yes. you. >> wrote about how -- and talked about how you extended that same courtesy to melania trump. has she reached out for you to ask for any help? >> no, she hasn't.

people called me barack's baby mama, accusing me of not loving my country. told me i was angry. that was the first time i really experienced someone taking my voice and balling it up and distorting it.

this isn't me. wait, people. this isn't who i am. >> former first lady michelle obama talking about how she was treated when her husband first campaigned for president. in her new book becoming mrs. obama. >> donald trump, with his was putting my family's safety at risk. and for this, i'd never forgive him. >> joining me now, valerie jarrett, former senior adviser to president obama, of course, a long time friend of the obamas, you knew them back when, i think you introduced them? >> i did not introduce them, i met them when they were already engaged many i was mesmerized by her 27 years ago. >> let's talk about the

transition. >> her reluctant introduction to political life. let's listen to what she talks about when she first arrived at princeton. >> i imagine the administrators didn't love the fact that students of color largely stuck together. the hope is that all of us would mingle, deepening the quality of student life across the board. >> it's a worthy goal, but even today, with white students continue to outnumber students of color on college campuses, the burden of asimillation is put largely on the shoulders of minority students. in my experience, it's a lot to ask. >> she's talking about the evolution of her transformation and what she went through as a young woman coming out of the south side of chicago, raised in a family that didn't have great

means. >> right, very working class -- >> the father had ms. there was a lot going on there. and adjusting to the world of princeton and later to harvard law. >> it was a stretch. part of what she tries to do throughout the book is to hold herself bare, show the joys and the pains and help people not live in -- sit in their pain as she says, but to own it and embrace it, so we can move beyond it, at every journey in her life, she was challenged, stretched, given great gifts, parents who loved her dearly and supported her, as she describes also, kind of an uphill struggle. and being honest and open about that struggle, she hopes it will inspire other people to tell their story. and share their story so we can all become our best selves. >> why did she decide to take on president trump? >> i think throughout the book, she talks about the challenges she faced. and she felt that the entire birther movement and the

absolute ludicrousy of the allegations it wasn't just a distraction, it was quite harmful for her, and her husband to ledge mize his presidency. and it caused a danger for she and her family. that was an appropriate message to send. words have consequences, they matter, they hurt. she couldn't be honest unless she talked about the entire life and all of the different qualities that have made her who she is today. >> one of her admissions in this book is about her own difficulty in conceiving and the miscarriage and how painful it was. i wanted to play a little bit of that. >> a miscarriage is lonely, painful and demoralizing. almost on a cellular level. when you have one, you will likely mistake it for a personal

failure, which it is not. or a tragedy, which regardless of how utterly devastating it feels in the moment, it also is not. what nobody tells you is that miscarriage happens all the time. she's -- in writing this, she's reaching out to millions of women who have gone through these experiences. >> reaching out and allowing them to identify, and she legitimizes their pain. but she also gives them hope in saying, you will get past this, but so many times, we all face these struggles alone. and what she's saying is, you're not alone, here, one of the most powerful, popular women in the world has been through what you've been through, and encouraging us to come forward and talk about what happens to so many people. and give us the strength to move beyond it. >> i want to give you the opportunity to respond to what the president had to say, when he responded -- was asked about

her criticisms and responded so dismissively on friday. >> i guess she wrote a book, she got paid a lot of money to write a book. and they always insist that you come up with controversy -- i'll never forgive him for what he did to our united states military. >> first of all, he didn't do anything as alleged -- >> his devotion, his commitment, his allocation of resources, it was an attempt to deflect. i think those who read the book, and i encourage everyone to read it, it's pure heart and honesty, there's nothing in there that's intended to spark controversy, where one doesn't legitimately exist. >> thank you so much. >> i'm looking forward to having a chat with my girlfriend. >> thank you very much, valerie jarrett. >> thank you. we want to bring you this weekend update from snl. after pete davidson outraged many viewers a week earlier,

ridiculing dan crenshaw, who lost an eye as a navy seal in afghanistan. davidson came back this week with an apology. >> on behalf of myself and the show, i apologize. it was a poor choice of words, the man is a war hero and he deserves all the respect in the world. i'm ray and i quit smoking with chantix. i tried to quit smoking for years on my own. i couldn't do it. i needed help. for me, chantix worked. it did. chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. chantix, without a doubt, reduced my urge to smoke.

when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i don't think about cigarettes anymore. talk to your doctor about chantix.

i don't think about cigarettes anymore. nothing's more important than a good bedside manner. i don't know how to say this. it's okay, doc. give it to me straight. no, you don't understand, i don't know how to say this. i'm just a tv doctor. they also know you should get your annual check-up. it could save your life.

schedule a check-up with your doctor, know your four health numbers, and start taking control of your health today. cigna. together, all the way. and as we were just saying, and we're sorry about our audio goof, dan crenshaw who won his election, got the last laugh on snl, just watch. >> so we good? >> we're good. apology accepted. ♪ just keep breathing and breathing and breathing ♪ >> it sounds like my phone's ringing. >> you going to answer that? >> i'm just going to let it ring because i -- >> that's rude to answer it. >> lessons to learn here. >> on this veterans day weekend, they ended with a poignant message. >> who will never forget the

sacrifices made by veterans past and present, and never forget those we lost on 9/11, heroes like pete's father. so pete, i'll just say, never forget. >> never forget. and that is from both of us. >> democratic lawmakers are preparing for clashes over the russia investigation. >> the first thing obviously is to protect the mueller investigation, the president's dismissal of attorney general sessions of his appointment of whitaker who is a complete political lackey, is a threat to the integrity of that investigation. we will hold hearings on that, and our very first witness after january 3rd, we will subpoena mr. -- or summon, if necessary, subpoena mr. whittaker. >> in a letter sent do the justice department ethics office sunday, outlined are conflicts

of interest. including whitaker's past statements concerning the mueller probe. joining me now is legal adviser to the security council under president bush. and what i know you from also is, of course, the top lawyer at the state department with condoleezza rice. thank you very much. your conclusion is, that matthew whitaker is the wrong person for this job, legally. constitution ali. >> it's legally questionable to appoint someone who is not already a senate confirmed official at the justice department in the nearly 150 year history of the justice department. there have been a lot of acting attorneys general, but a president has never appointed or named as acting anyone who was not already a senate confirmed official in the justice department. in doing this, president trump ignored a statute passed by congress, the attorney general succession act that says the

normal succession, the deputy attorney general. the solicitor attorney general, the president ignored all of that to appoint mr. whitaker as acting attorney general. it raises a lot of legal questions, both under the statute and then also constitution ali. >> john, what about the decisions he will make, daily decisions on a host of issues. aside from mueller, can those be called into question by anybody who is criminally liable under civil litigation? >> i think that really is the question that the president's lawyers at the white house, i assume raised with him, and that obviously, this is politically controversial, but it's going to be legally problematic for the president if mr. whittaker as acting attorney general takes controversial actions. people can challenge those, challenge regulations, challenge personnel appointments, challenge immigration decisions. it will get caught up in litigation and will cause a problem for the president.

the president could have avoided all of this by picking a senate confirmed position if he was so frustrated with the deputy attorney general, he could have picked the solicitor general or an assistant attorney general, and there would not have been all of this fuss, and potentially put the president's legal agenda into peril. >> to those who say, you shouldn't prejudge what matthew whitaker will do regarding mueller, once he's in this different office. how do you get past what he's said publicly, for instance, challenging the legitimacy of one of the first supreme court decisions, marbury versus madison? >> i don't know mr. whitaker, and he served as a u.s. attorney in the bush administration in iowa, and as far as i know, served well. the statements he made on the senate questionnaire were head spinning. the seminole decision that says that the courts can review the

legality of decisions of congress, i don't think i've ever heard anybody say that. he also said that the judiciary is the inferior branch of government and really needs to take a back seat to the legislative and executive. i don't think i've heard that before either. and frankly, i would think that would be even troubling to many conservatives, i understand that conservatives are upset with certain social decisions with the supreme court, but if conservatives are worried about overreach by the executive branch, why it's the courts that are there to place a check and balance on the other two branches of government, so to say the judiciary is an inferior branch of government is a bit troubling. >> john bellinger, thanks so much for coming in. >> it's nice to be here. meet the new class of women heading to capitol hill after an historic election, bringing a record number of women into congress. two new members joining me next. hello!

commemorate it today, there are issues, g.i. benefits, other issues of service. for one thing, you were part of the intelligence community and the disparagement of the intelligence community at all levels by the white house has been pretty remarkable. >> it's been pretty brutal. people get up every day and their job is to protect american people and american homeland and to have your commander in chief hitting you. it's pretty difficult. they get up every day and do their jobs because they believe in the country. it's been amazing this whole time. >> one of the things that you are both going to face is what to do about another woman who has broken the glass ceiling to have been the speaker in 2006 and of course the nancy pelosi issue. what are you going to do about pelosi when you guys caucus? >> i have been talking about how important it is we have new leadership in congress right now. i won't be voting for nancy

pelosi. she has been a very effective speaker to this point. i think it is important we move forward with new leadership. that is not what people in new jersey are talking about as much as they are talking about how excited they are that we flipped the house to see the opportunities with health care and tax reform and infrastructure spending. >> this question of nancy pelosi, adam schiff on meet the press said that in this day and age going up against donald trump with all of the issues of mueller and handling the legal strategies to come, you need a general and she is the only one who can be the general for the caucus. that is certainly what a lot of the incoming committee chairs say, as well. >> i think we need to see who comes forward. i think it will be interesting to see who emerges.

there is lots of great talent and people in the caucus. i think we need to hear what people are saying which is on both sides of the aisle they want a new generation of leadership. we have to see who emerges. we will look at who will do the best for our district. >> this is something that happened on the senate side. there is a race to be won or lost in mississippi she said something this weekend. i think we have that that we can play for you. she is running against -- >> what she talked about is inviting people to a public hanging here from mississippi, a state that had a historically high number of lynchings. how does that strike you? >> i have been very adamant about the fact that we can't have this kind of divisive

language from our leaders and racist comments. here in new jersey people throughout my district have been adamant about supporting new leadership and people who want to unite the country and not divide the country with language like that? >> you have to understand the lesson of last tuesday night. the people who won were people bringing people together and not splitting them together. people are sick of the tone of politics right now, that vitriol is really especially in purple states really spreading, pulling people apart and they can't stand it. when you are a leader your responsibility is to bring people together. >> we should add that senator cindy hyde smith in the comments said in a comment i referred to accepting an invitation to a speaking engagement in referencing the one who invited me i used an exaggerated expression of regard and any attempt to turn this into a

negative connotation is ridiculous. she is not acknowledging any racist statement. let's leave it there for now. i know we will hear a lot more from both of you coming up as new members with a lot of very different experiences than many of the members of congress. thanks to both of you for joining us today. the congress women-elect. more ahead. we'll be right back. women-ele more ahead. we'll be right back. ♪ the new capital one savor card. earn 4% cash back on dining and 4% on entertainment. now when you go out, you cash in. what's in your wallet? i couldn't catch my breath. it was the last song of the night.
