al gore says we have ten years to save the planet in 2006.almost three years past his dates. i mention the prince of wales. he was more specific. he said we have 96 months. that was june and 2017. we are still here. >> tucker: i can't believe it. i'm especially glad you were here, mark steyn. thank you. >> i am way past my date.

al gore gave me the opportunity to run for vice president.a thrilling, positive experience until election night and then that 36 days after was wrust horrible. >> there's a huge undercount. you remember 18 years ago the butterfly ballot . they haven't found a way to make better ballots. how does that make you feel? >> angry, really. the election of 2000 and this year's election were close but they shouldn't be decided by the essentially mistake of an election official in the way that the ballot was constructed. clearly the butterfly ballots had an effect on the outcome. a lot of people of palm beach county, in no way who wanted to vote ended up voting for him instead of al and me. after 2000 to try to encourage a more fairness in voting but we really have to the extent we can have to professionalize and, of course, how they're counted. >> it's interesting to see how two different presidents respond to a recount in which they had deep vested interests. president clinton experienced it in 2000 versus what president trump is saying today. so, li

i just knew that al gore was for it and i was against it. either doing commercial real estate login, and then i ran for congress again in 2004. my sun came to me -- son came to me. he said, dad, i will vote for you but you will have to clean up your act on the environment. his mother agreed, agreed in a new constituency was born. that was the first of a three-step metamorphosis. the second was going to the antarctic and seeing the evidence in the ice core drillings. the third was i was inspired by aussieth of an climate scientists who cares about the creation. the cut carbon act of 2009, a carbon tax. host: what was the reaction from other members? guest:one of the republican cosponsor, senator jeff flake, who was a house member, and a democrat dan lipinski from chicago. the reactions at home was not so good. i lost my reelection in a republican primary in the midst of the darkest days of the great recession. it is exciting to see some carbon tax bills being introduced. it is completely different than it was back then. back and they were the

al gore is here, everybody! yeah. he-- he stopped by to pick up our recycling, so i figured while he's here, we may as well chat. but first, let's catch up on today's headlines. first up, the russia investigation. it's back in the news. and at this point, this thing is like a sale at a used honda dealership-- it never ends. ( laughter ) well, you may remember a few months ago, special counsel robert mueller convinced trump's former campaign chairman paul manafort to flip against trump. but now it turns out manafort may have double flipped. >> let's start with our top story. this new revelation raises some big questions this morning about what is going on in the russia investigation. was former trump campaign chairman paul manafort playing both sides, in effect? >> "the new york times" reporting overnight that paul manafort's lawyer repeatedly briefed president trump's lawyers about his client's discussions with mueller's team after the former trump campaign chairman already agreed to cooperate with the special counsel

it but since that represented a very red district and i had not looked into that at all i figured al gore is for itt but out of congress for six years doing commercial real estate law again then i ran for congress again in 2004 my son came to me the oldest of our five children and said dad i will vote for you that you will clean up your act on the environment. his four sisters agreed in a new constituency was born. that was the first step then to see the evidence so that is something of a spiritual awakening that was inspired and that climate scientist and caring for the creation with a carbon act of 2009. >> and one of the republican and those that were on the bill that i lost my reelection in the republican primary in the midst on the darkest days of the great recession. they were the darkest days of the great recession these had experience with climate change but that balance of the environmental left with those climate change. >> so why do you think they haveve a hard time dealing with this issue? i think we'll try to get him back on the line joining us from former as a former member

a lot of powerful people working the phones, al gores, john kerrys. president obama has not quite endorsed her, but gone out of his way to say she is a great legislator and would be great for this spot at this time. she has been meeting with groups of supporters in her office, opponents in her office, she has been meeting with the different caucuses, black caucus, hispanic caucus, democrats, blue dogs, all these factions within the party and essentially, she is running the show postelection as if she is the shoe and for the speaker and that is consistent with public statements she has been making. she projects nothing but confidence and says she will be the speaker without a doubt. the math looks different right now. if she has a math problem, everybody knows that. the question is what can she do to peel off some of the insurgents that announced they would vote against her? she has made some strides in the last week. marcia fudge from ohio was one of the leading critics of pelosi until pelosi sat down and talked to her and promised to resurrect an old

bush al gore presidential race of course all the rest is history now but bush ended up winning the state of florida by less than six hundred votes and that was enough to get him into the white house and now we're seeing another recount in florida both republicans and democrats are accusing each other of foul play in stuffing the ballot boxes and trying to extend the election or change the results or what have you but the bottom line is this is a recount of all of the votes there between the senate race between republican rick scott who got fifty point zero percent of a close and bill nelson the democrat who got in there he nine point nine percent of the vote only about ten to twelve thousand vote difference there are more than eight million votes cast in the governor's race as well the republican also holds a narrow narrow lead he has forty nine point six percent of the vote to andrew gillum the democrat forty nine point two so you can see how tight these races are and that's why the recount of the votes is happening beginning on sunday expected to last at least five days but it's going

bush and al gore in 2000. they're at it again that state. they're going ballot by ballot in broward county. the only thing missing, those infamous hanging chads. remember those? republicans have seen their leads in florida's u.s. senate and governor's races dwindle as new ballots have been counted since election day, which is why governor rick scott whose lead in the tight senate race has narrowed significantly, why he followed a lawsuit demanding voting records in his own race. his opponent bill nelson fighting back insisting that when every ballot is counted he'll win. and then there is arizona's senate race. this is where democrat kyrsten sinema's lead over republican martha mcsally has expanded to over 20,000 votes. i have said this before. president trump must be really, really rattled tonight. the blue wave in the midterms is actually bigger than it looked on election night. house democrats have picked up 30 seats, and out of ten house races, not yet called by cnn, the democratic candidates, their leads in five. democratic candidates l

bush and al gore in two thousand presidential race bush ultimately won florida by less than six hundred votes giving him the electoral college victory thus the presidency the florida recount eighteen years ago was ultimately decided here at the supreme court it's unclear foresee a repeat of that what is very certain is that the current recount most likely involve a lot of lawyers lawsuits and drag on for a very long time gabriel's on dough. washington. on mike hanna joins us live now from washington so might once again it's flaw or at the heart of some control to see now that they have decided to have a recount how difficult might this be to resolve well very difficult indeed this is a fairly unprecedented we heard the report that the recount eighteen years ago which eventually was halted by the supreme court never completed but in this particular case what is happening is that it is a statewide recount for governor or senator for agricultural commissioner this is actually unprecedented in terms of an electoral process so it's an immensely complicated process now every one of the sixty

brian: when did you decide you wanted to get involved in the 1984 al gore campaign?or senator, not president. mr. gerhardt: correct. the reason i got interested was because i had come to tennessee after graduating at the university of chicago law school and i worked for a district judge in memphis and i was law clerk to a judge in nashville. when i was in nashville as i began to think about what i wanted to do, i was looking around and realized there was a senate campaign beginning. it involved somebody i thought could be a great senator and someone i had a lot of respect for. that was al gore junior. so i got involved in the campaign and worked on it for a while. it was a successful campaign. brian: was that the last time you did political work? mr. gerhardt: no, i also worked on senator gore's presidential campaign and i worked on other campaigns locally. i live in north carolina now. and i worked on presidential campaigns. i worked in the clinton-gore transition later. one thing often leads to another and the work i have done and the people i had met along the way

person i wanted to talk to about this tonight is ron klain, he's an attorney who worked on behalf of al goren the nightmare 2000 florida presidential recount. mr. klain, thanks for joining us tonight. i know you have voiced this interesting idea that what is happening in florida right now with the legal challenges, with the physical protests that are happening in the street outside elections offices, and with the sort of pr campaign being waged by the president, by rick scott, by the republican party. you've described this as something that we should maybe see as a kind of dry run for how the president might contest his own election results if he lost in 2020. as a veteran of all the things you've been involved in and you've seen, why do you make that case about what's happening in florida now? >> look, we have to separate what's really happening on the ground in florida, which is a process whereby ballots are being counted, they're being recounted pursuant to law, that's what it should be, from what donald trump and rick scott are trying to spin as the narrative of what's happening in flori

. >> ask al gore. >> or al gore, right, during the recount in 2000?ot to move on because i want to talk about, speaking of the russia investigation, roger stone's associate -- in is for you, ryan -- says that he expects to be indicted by the special counsel. we didn't hear much about mueller leading up to the midterms, but now things are really ramping up again. >> yeah. and, look, you know, stone and other people in this investigation who are not the most trustworthy characters who have made similar claims about how they're about to be indicted, so take it -- maybe take it with a grain of salt. but he is saying that -- he told a story today on youtube that, you know, his negotiations, his talks with the special counsel's office broke down and that he's now in the crosshairs. so, you know, i wish we knew a little bit more about what was -- you know, why they were looking into him so aggressively and how this relates to stone in the end. but, man, from everything we know, they have -- mueller just seems convinced that roger stone was the link between t

so al gore has to be a loser, even to many democrats. because considering the opposite, if the wrong guy took charge and we're living in an alternate universe, that's too much for some people to bear. we are living right now through an ero of tremendous civic strain. i think we have too much politics in the sense of analysts spin and battle and way too little democracy in the sense of the popular will shaping what our government does. that is an uncomfortable dynamic to sa i the least. which is why you bring up the popular vote. try it at a party, people end up fighting whether al gore and hillary clinton were great candidates. maybe they weren't. >> that has nothing to do with the growing democracy deficit in our country. which is not about personalities. a system that repeatedly overrides the voter's preference. your voting preference is likely to stoke division and eventually if that continues to undercut its own legitimacy. a big thing america is divided is the voting opposition to donald trump was larger than the support for donald

did work for al gore? plus, the swingingest of swing states. and i don't mean the dance moves. it's bringing us the hotly contested senate races. like from florida where democratic rick scott is trying to take bill nelson seat. >> almost two years as president, i never received call from president nelson to help out the people of florida. that's got to mean something. to mean that means a lot. maybe almost everything. ♪ i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan for up to 100% of your home's value. if you need cash for your family, call newday usa. with automatic authority from the va, we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call. call now: 1-855-376-1361. well, occasionally, but it doesn't come up that frequently, no. - [amber] i don't like talking about this. - we haven't talked about that, i know.

imbedded in a david to sort all their might their board who enabled him to achieve that victory over al gore yes there we use the same principles to make way for that even when we asked more with a good excuse on the priming we've got an hour with week two of our guys and we kind of what we could attend is in the market and we can always tweet the crane myths and issues we can with the other seeings that have been fighting in their progress on the growth of our member from my eyes. to the service everyone celebrates the season success. really is something. that. marion and sam are happy about their four hundred euro business everyone's and well he'll probably reinvest some of the money in their own communities where some are still much worse off than the fair trade phonics. i am. i am. feeling. the bill. to. be. the be. mysterious sinkhole. on the shores of the d.n.c. . thousands of the men appear with more coming every day. is really researchers have learned to predict the perilous thing. now they're working on an early warning system for sinkhole most of. our old tradition in thirty minute

senate in 28 years since al gore in 1990. marsha blackburn, the republican is running slightly ahead, and if it is republican, look at that, one away. one away from retaining the ma jor ti and then they could get there with the state of texas where ted cruz again, relatively close race, but cruz has been ahead in the polling out there, and put the three together, and that is 50 for the republicans, and that is are retaining the majority, and so for the democrats they have to shake one of these loose. say somehow for the sake of argument, tennessee, they get phil bredesen to a victory in tennessee, and okay, they have the republicans under 50, and then the democrats have to run the table, and win west virginia, arizona, nevada, missouri, and all of them with montana as well. that may be a little bit of the wild card, because not a lot of polling out there, and a thought that jon tester, the democrat, he has the advantage, but again, this is a state that donald trump carried by 21 point, and last move for the republicans, but f

bush and al gore presidential race that was decided by less than six hundred votes the state of florida course as history knows now bush won that and went all the way to the supreme court and the rest is history now we're seeing something similar with high stakes as well with all sixty seven counties in florida just within the last couple hours submitted their unofficial election results from all the counties there it is looking like we are going to get a recount for both the senate and governor tauriel race there just to give you some numbers here rick's on the on the on the senate side rick scott has fifty point zero percent of the vote he's a republican bill nelson the democrat forty nine point nine percent of the vote it's less than fifteen thousand votes that separate the two and imagine this there were eight million votes cast in florida alone so that just gives you an idea of how tight this is and the governor races well republican ron descent is. forty nine point six percent the democrat andrew gillum forty nine point one so there's going to be a recount for both of these no dou
