guest: we have a good subchapter on eric cantor's defeat in virginia.is in the chapter called "all politics is no longer local." host: congressman frost, let's go to the gerrymandering issue. there is a chart where you show the presidential election percentages, but then you sell -- show the congressional seats underneath and in pennsylvania michigan ohio, the republicans hold the majority of the congressional seats -- and all three states won by the democratic nominee. guest: that is correct. what has happened is you have to do we want types of gerrymandering. one is wrong, political gerrymandering that has happened in western states, northern states, what you are describing in michigan, pennsylvania, and ohio, where republicans control the legislature and they use their political power to draw republican districts and minimize republican districts. the other gerrymandering happened in the south, and did not happen this way. republicans, shrewdly, in some states, were able to make deals with black leadership. blacks had been excluded from congress. the

eric cantor was by gop standards a relatively friendly immigration legislator. he was particularly interested in bringing more high tech workers into the country. and he also was open to allowing undocumented youth to have some form of legalization, which for republicans is actually fairly moderate. he was unseated by mr. bratt, who has already said he will not vote for speaker boehner today in the speaker election and who is very much opposed to anything involving relaxing immigration standards for anybody, legal or illegal. some of the other candidates have stayed away from the issue. i expect that when we start looking at actual legislation which is truly the only way republicans will be able to change what the president has done, it will be the same players we've seen in the past. john cornyn, the number two senator from texas has always been involved in immigration. he has several pieces of legislation he would like to do on the high-tech and i'm sure he be happy to debate goes. chuck grassley from iowa, has had several come up. i would not be surprised to

. >> i have a question, who will beat house majority leader eric cantor?k he is tonight? >> with the wife drinking. no. >> chris matthew, a very nice guy. >> he's a former capitol hill police officer. i read his book. my book was a number one seller. >> i was on oprah. i had an hour on oprah with my book. >> i pass. how much does a stamp cost? yes? that's why you're watching. >> when is the last time you sent a letter? when was the last time you sent a letter. >> answer the question, congressman. how much is the cost of a postage stamp? >> do you know how much i love you? and by "love you," i mean i hate your guts. >> i can do this all night long. >> please tweet anderson cooper, hash tag gay rights. i believe he thinks a stamp is $500. and a quart is $1,000. that's why he doesn't drink that much. please make that a poll. i know you want to do polls, cnn. >> we're going to take a quick break. we'll be right back to times square. ;ñ;ñ;ñ female announcer: get beautyrest, posturepedic, even tempur-pedic mattress sets at low clearance prices. save even more on

. >> we had eric cantor saying don't relitigate the past six years with health care a lot of issues.d on keystone. there is a bill coming through on keystone which is one of the big decisions that the president has to make whether he is going to veto that. i wasn't sure whether we have the alaska supreme court come through with its judgment. that was the last remaining issues before they could get any movement on that. keystone will be a big one, as well. >> and a galvanizing issue. >> to prove that point, let's get to rick santelli for a special edition of the santelli exchange. raring to go. over to you. >> absolutely raring to go. hopefully the 114 congress is raring to go. i'd like to welcome a member of that new congress senator john hoeven republican north dakota. thank you for taking the time this very important tuesday morning. >> good morning, rick. how are you? >> very well. thank you. we have the hoeven-mansion bill. what do you expect today? do you think keystone will pass? >> we'll file the bill today. there will be a hearing tomorrow. we'll mark it up on thursday. bring

especially you eric cantor. we keep calling. we think one day you might say yes.promise to have a big bowl of m&ms right here on the set for you. dayquill cold and flu doesn't treat your runny nose. seriously? alka-seltzer plus cold and cough fights your worst cold symptoms plus your runny nose. oh, what a relief it is. curling up in bed with a favorite book is nice. but i think women would rather curl up with their favorite man. but here's the thing: about half of men over 40 have some degree of erectile dysfunction. well, viagra helps guys with ed get and keep an erection. and remember, you only take it when you need it. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hear

also eric cantor's stunning loss to his primary challenger in virginia. republican dave bra thett. macdonald and his wife being found guilty of corruption. ten years for the governor of virginia. what are going to be the surprises in 2015? who are going to be the front-runners? is president obama's approval going to rise? let's not only expect the unexpected. let's do the impossible by trying to predict the unexpected. let's do this in a few different ways. we have the panel here. at this time next year 365 days from now we'll be on the the eve of the i-kauowa caucuses. new hampshire is going to come right after that. the republican field is very crowded and unpredictable. a year from now, take the crystal ball out. who are we talking about a year from now? who tr the front-runners going into this thing next year? >> this is not going to make a ton of news. hillary clinton looks good on the democratic side. we can discuss that if you want. the more interesting thing is the republican side. there's a lot of volatility. the person i have my eye on is rand paul. not necessarily saying

congressman ted voted for then eric cantor. these are and of the usual suspects. some folks that we expected to vote against boehner in the first place. so i don't think that boehner is in any trouble being re-elected speaker. i think it is notable that there is this number of members that are coming out and publicly saying that they would run against him. remember two years ago we were watching this election and there were conservatives on the house floor with secret lists of who they thought were going to vote against boehner. that turned out not to be enough to take on boehner. i think nine republicans voted, actually voted for someone other than the speaker. 12 total. some voted president and some didn't vote at all. so, it would have to be a pretty huge coup for them to take down speaker boehner. they need at least 29 votes to take him down. >> let's assume boehner survives this week. a little bit of drama there and he gets through it. we have the new congress in place. and the republicans are basically on capitol hill. they will be as of this coming week and
