i will say to you, jackie, i spoke with representative cleaver in the last hour and he suggests the onlyyou get something done in the house is if you work well with your colleagues. what are your thoughts on this? >> it's true. her colleague abigail spanberger made a similar point on a podcast that she didn't necessarily agree with ocasio-cortez's tactics and protesting outside of nancy pelosi's office wasn't spanberger's version of getting things done. as a political reporter, it is fascinating to see the way cortez has grabbed social media and used it to her advantage and talking authentically to her electora electorate, to voters to get her message out there. it will be interesting to see the way that these moderate democrats work together with progressives and how nancy pelosi is able to really everyone together. >> thank you all so much. happy thanksgiving. >>> the deadline for the florida election recount is just past an hour old. it was at noon. the hand count was triggered by a slim lead for rick scott over democrat bill nelson. we're joined from rivera beach. there's been a chan

. >> the last panel emanuel cleaver and susan -- did you know you are good politician when they find the person they disagree with and they go and bash that to the going talk to. >> i would say this. first off to echo what the congressman was saying you have to know your district and a constituent services have to be top notch. you have to make sure you are there for everybody no f matter what party comes through the doorway. second dean phillips in minnesota this conversation was everyone's invited 30th welcome all voices and make sure one has a voice and a mock her seat. he stopped holding town meetings and was impossible to talk to him so the last thing i would say to those folks coming from purple to more red districts as you got to find places where you disagree with leadership with a good conscience vote the way your district wants with a lot of pressure from the party leadership or that's a hard thing to do. you saw with kristin cinema. she ran towards the center. she was a left of center. she wasn't left of center and she was right there appeared she did a good job in arizona

it's not like he ran saying he was -- beaver cleaver. >> that's right. >> but when general kelly came on, a lot of people said he's a four-star marine, he'll bring order and discipline. and if i can brag on myself, i said no way. because the problem was not the chief of staff or the staff. it's the president of the united states. the fish rots from the head down. and the first lady going public -- i'm a little more cool with it than most of my co panelists. but it is extraordinary, and it is dysfunctional. i don't know how anybody can do their job in that mess now. because who knows who the hell is in charge? >> i would like to know, the reason -- one of the main reasons i'm uncomfortable with the first lady going public, if this was michelle obama, she would have been vilified. and so there are different -- every step of the way, we find out there are different rules for the obama white house than there are for the trump white house. and it's just upsetting. >> vilified for telling people to eat carrots. >> and wearing her arms out. and melania is traipsing around america -- i can't.

emanuel cleaver, for one, a democrat in that caucus, told me that he's very close to marcia fudge bute still wants to understand why she's actually doing this. so there's a significant split going on, and he said, as others have echoed, he's concerned about another freedom caucus being formed within the democratic caucus. of course that's a reference to that very conservative faction of the house republican side. there's concern that might be forming on the democratic side on the left, so it's uncertain how much support she could ultimately get, but it will complicate things going forward potentially for pelosi. >> karoun, pelosi's not afraid to play the woman card. here's how she's doing it. >> if hillary had won, i could go home. i hopefully we'll have a woman president very soon but that's not the fact that we almost had one would have been motivation for me to say there's a woman at the table. it's very important. you cannot have the four leaders of congress, the president of the united states, these five people and not have the voice of women. >> obviously, women are a big part o

. >> last panel i did like this, emmanuel cleaver said you know a good politician when if they walk into a room they find the person that disagrees with them and that is who they go and talk to. >> i would say -- is this on? it died. .. i would say that what the congressman is saying know your district and your constituent services has to be top-notch make sure you were there for everybody and you will help them out. so the conversation everyone is invited to be welcoming of all voic welcoming all voices make sure everybody has a voice in democracy. something eric paulsen had stopped holding town meetings. it was impossible to talk with him. the last thing i would say to those folks coming from purple to more red districts is to get some places where you disagree with leadership, that you can within good conscience vote the way your district wants even if you pressure from the national party leadership. that's hard. you saw with kyrsten sinema in arizona. she ran toward to the center she wasn't left of center, she wasn't, you know, she was right there. she did a good job of reflecting th
