harry reed was a big problem as well. holding up more than 387 bills that the house had passed. you need to get the economy moving again. >> there's reports the president will hold a news conference today asking for bipartisan support. >> now to the big governor's races across the country. in wisconsin scott walker defeating his democratic challenger mary burkee 52-47%. this is walker's third victory in four years. >> i have to tell you, i'm an optimist. i believed all along that we have a positive message out and people in the state wanted to be for something and not against something and look what happened tonight. >> you see in america the opportunity is equal. but the outcome is up to you. that's the difference. that's the difference. that's the difference between what we believe here in wisconsin and what they're selling in washington. >> walker now poised to be a serious contender for the 2016 republican presidential nomination. >>> in florida incumbent republican rick scott defeating charlie crist 48-47%. it's one of the closest, costliest races in the country. >> tomorro

not harry reed. not mitch mcconnell. i called for it and i think it is worth fighting for. >> despite her no-holds bar approach to the keystone pipeline and senate run off, her fellow democrats brought plentiy of dissent. >> to me it is extra lethal. >> the existing keystone pipeline that was built is the safest pipeline in history. it is built 12 times. >> it does nothing for american energy security. >> we're talking about the dirtiest type of productions for energy sources that we know. >> this whole thing, i'm not a scientist, yeah, that's right you're not republicans. >> when it comes to keystone pipeline, mitch mcconnell suddenly is a scientist man. >> those who took a serious look at the science and potential benefits reached the conclusion long ago, they understand that the whole drama over keystone pipeline has been protracted as it is unnecessary. we hope to turn the page on all of that today. >> in the next hour and half that page may remain unturned. main independent senator king announced he will vote no on

then on friday, president will hold a rally in las vegas with harry reed. told reporters he wants the pl president to do everything he can on immigration. >> when the president decides to do his executive action he should go big, as big as he can, and there's precedent for him going back to eisenhower administration to do something just like this. >> so the bulk of what the president is going to do, he's expecting up to 5 million undocumented immigrants to stay and work in united states illegal. boehner had this to say. >> well, what does that mean? john boehner i think is making it clear he will use all options to stop president obama on this action. >> this is the wrong way to govern. this is what the american people said they didn't want on election day. so all the options are on the table, we're having discussions with our members and no decisions has been made how we will fight this if we proceeds. >> but the funding bill will have that strict language. >> all options are on the table. we're going to have conversations with our members and when we have

he will be with harry reed to is the senate majority leader. but mitch mcconnell says swift action in january. >> we will be watching. >> thanks betty. >>> immigrants will be able to start applying for deportation deferrals in the spring. meanwhile, in california, one- and-a-half million immigrants will be eligible for this. the most of any state. texas is second. 743,000 people there. there are still about a million illegal immigrants in california who won't be eligible, but? january, joe vasquez shows us a lot of them will be able to do something legally and that is drive. >> reporter: look closely. the new category of california drivers license will have this notation. federal limits apply. in january, it will be available for the first time ever for undocumented immigrants. that is who crowded into a standing room only commute meeting in redwood city just moments after the president's speech on immigration. >> we can't get certain government services. you cannot get on an airplane. >> reporter: they are just completing an 11-week drivers ed

the specifics before traveling to las vegas for a rally with soon to be senate minority leader harry reed. republicans have not been invited to that chow down. and their outrage ranges. texas senator cruz wrote this. >> a spokesman for john boehner dropped a more specific royal title saying this. >> at the annual conference of republican governors in florida, scott walker went for the full monte. >> it is a president who talked years ago about the audacity of hope it is the audacity of a power grab. >> the president doesn't get to make it up himself. it is a clear separation of powers issue. >> ready the lawyers. and then mccain was down right disponde dispondent. >> my question to the president is why couldn't he wait to see what this new congress does. give them some time. not a deadline but some time. you will know whether they will be able to move forward or not and see then, but obviously that's not going to be the case. >> joining me now senior advisor to president obama and political analyst and former chair of the rnc. david let me start with you, in many ways, as hopeful as this

. >>> coming up are harry reed and mitch mcconnell going to make a deal. >>> and later in his nearlyyears of television he sat with john lennon, groucho and now me and many more, the legend joins me on set ahead on "now." i know what you're thinking... transit fares! as in the 37 billion transit fares we help collect each year. no? oh, right. you're thinking of the 1.6 million daily customer care interactions xerox handles. or the 900 million health insurance claims we process. so, it's no surprise to you that companies depend on today's xerox for services that simplify how work gets done. which is...pretty much what we've always stood for. with xerox, you're ready for real business. which is...pretty much what we've always stood for. americans drink 48 billion that's enough plastic bottles to stretch around the earth 230 times. each brita filter can replace 300 of those. clean. clear. brita water. nothing is better. i have a cold. i took nyquil but i'm still stuffed up. nyquil cold and flu liquid gels don't unstuff your nose. really? alka-seltzer plus night rushes relief to eight sy

he'll travel to las vegas friday appear with harry reed the new senate minority leader. the only question is whether there is a preview announcement on a broad outline of the order on thursday before the friday event. in any case we're going to get to the weekend with this executive order and it is going to trigger an escalation of the ongoing political war between democrats and republicans. don't nope the contours yet. there are several ways to slice it depending how far out you go in terms of giving legal status to people who are connected by family with people who have green cards or citizens in the united states. and also whether you apply a time test. that is, people fitting a certain category who've been here ten years or five years or some other sorting mechanism that you have. but it could be three, four five million people. republicans are going to fight them. and we don't know exactly how that is going to turn out. >> john, the fact this is floating today, is that a bargaining chip or it's going to happen regardless. >> it's going to happen regardless. i think

. >> and finally ted cruz and mike lee sent a letter to harry reed saying they will stop all action intion with executive amnesty. that would clear the speak for a j jeb bush running. what do you make of them not to did anything there. >> first, this is a woman who is great for wall street. it's almost like ted cruz didn't get his memo. she may be an effective activity when it comes to civil rights issue but nothing more than a retread of eric holder when it comes to sending white color criminals to prison. my guess is wall street will burn up phone lines to the republican mouth pieces telling them to let lynch replace holder so wall street can continue the same corporation we have seen for six years. some of these republicans doen' understand who this woman is. once they get the memo and connect the dots i think we will see a difference with their attitude when it comes to loretta. >> should the president wait until after the first of the year. >> he can't control what the senate does in terms of confirming her. i surely believe the senate keeps saying they don't want to be obstructio

harry reed never wanted to bring those up for a vote. those will be coming up now. and we'll see if we can avert some of the tax issues. >> you really need the rates to move up. and to your point of lower for longer if that is the case it is going to be a challenge. we took profit in goldman this week. >> we were able to fix pall richards audio. good have you with withis. >> thanks scott. >> are you still as bullish as urn a week ago? >> draghi spoke today. i don't know what your expectations were? >> it was exactly what expected and we were talking about last week. he needed to buy time. and that is important because the staff economic projections from the ecb come out on that day. it's exactly what the japanese did. they matched the move with the economic projections. today he bought a month's time. in a month's time, even if he doesn't move in december he will make you feel it's so much closer in terms of qe that you will be buying more risk im:still very more bullish. buying for stocks and selling more euros. >> you are setting up the market farce supportive sto

by the way, harry reed is still the majority leader. we should discuss what we should wrap up during the lame duck. there are a number of things sort of put off that -- >> how the bill has handled -- >> say that again? >> it expires in december. >> whether to do a cr. talking about whether to do the tax extender package. there are a number of things that have sort of stacked up. i mean, i think i've said it before and i will say it again, the senate hadn't been doing anything. so there is a whole lot of unfinished business, sitting there. some of which is might be be advantageous to get out of the way. democrats may want to do it, we may want to do i, in order to clear off some of the necessary work that has simply been undone in the dysfunctional senate. >> what about dodd-frank, do you see any attempts to roll back some of those reforms? >> what? >> dodd-frank, the banking committee certainly going to be taking a look at dodd-frank. i called it frequently obamacare for banks. the big guys are doing just fine under dodd-frank. communit

. >> senator harry reed said with the united states facing threats to national security around my world it's my hope that senate emergency rooms will work with democrats to give swift and fair nomination. this is a critical time as it relates to isis and some of the develops we discussed a few minutes ago. >> yeah, the u.s. is engaged in military operations in syria and iraq. it's drawing down the forces in afghanistan. this is a very tumultuous period there. they're involved in intense negotiations with iran that could fail. by no means is this a quiet period for the u.s. military. so certainly to have this position not necessarily in a stable environment, so to speak, is going to have a lot of allies somewhat concerned. perhaps some questioning whether or not right now is the appropriate time for something like this to happen. >> exactly. let me bring chris in to talk about this. timing is everything. you'll have some allies, perhaps, who wonder why it's happening now. that the administration could not wait a little longer here >>well, look, there are a lot of things that coming toget

, but later on in the process, the senate leadership including staff of senator majority leader harry reedare making fine-tuning adjustments to the statute, going through it line by line. they add establish by the state again in section 1401. if merely referencing exchange is the same as saying exchange established by the state, there would have been no reason to do this. if section 1311 and 1321 are the same, there would be no reason to do this. if reference to a section 1311 exchange is by definition an exchange established by the state, there would be no reason to do this. yet they did it. the government and defenders of the irs rule have failed to come up with an explanation of why this would happen, of why this language would be there. the best explanation is it was convenient short hand for exchange. convenient shorthand that's longer and required members of congress to add additional language at multiple times in the drafting process. that's just not credible. it's not taking language seriously. it's not taking the fact that every place in the statute were established by the state i

things will move without harry ride d reed. americans -- harry reid. >> speaking of the gridlock. i want to talk about mitch mcconnell. he discovered an address. >> a republican majority wouldn't mean we can get everything you want from washington, but it would mean we'd bring the current legislative gridlock to a merciful end. >> what do you think about that? do you think he can swayed the gridlock. >> he is the gridlock. >> no. >> if you are the gridlock... [ laughs ] >> maybe you have more power to change it. >> he said his number one goal is to make president obama a one-term president. staffers have been on the record, on the record telling the press they don't want to give president obama a win. giving president obama a win - that's ridiculous to say that's what you base your policy making on. it should be based on giving america a win. when you hurt the president here, you hurt him abroad. republicans thought if they attack the president and don't give him wins that it will bring him into the office. yes, but you weaken the office of the presidency abroad. and it hurts peop

. >>> yeah, the republicans, congress has already been doing this, but, and i'm sure, harry reed will continue to obstruct as he has done, over the past six years, and, they should begin to write as karl rove said, once the new congress gets in place, send up a bill a week for the president for signing and first is to repeal, and replace the obamacare, with free market reforms and number two, they need to enact pro-growth legislation, that so many bills have been written already. >>> and reduce the corporate income tax rate and number three, they need to repeal and defund, immigration executive orders, concerning the immigration issues. the dream act that he ends acted on his own. >>> frank, lloyd, in texas. >>> how are you? >>> i got a masters degree in education, and, i don't know people can think it's for climate change and i think there should be a federal sales tax and, apololicks the income tax and, make a federal sales tax. and second thing, is to initiate, impeachment procedures for president baraka obama. >>> okay. why? >>> on. laws that he has broken, i have -- that's one of

the problem is harry reed said we are not taking your bill and the house said we are not taking the senateh is why it did not get done. now after the election, we have the ability to get our ideas to the president's desk so we can negotiate with him. >> jack? >> very simple question. is the republican house caucus and the republican senate caucus now more or less charitably disposed to comprehensive immigration, i would say less. >> after his actions? >> after the election? the new republican senators from what i saw, they are not inclined to embrace anything approaching comprehensive immigration reform and i think some of the new house members are the same. and they are the ones that are going to get the most attention fairly or not. last night, if i may, last night, watching your network and fox. >> oh, that must have been fun. >> cnn was covering college costs, which is another thing. who did hannity book? michelle bachmann and he did not book you, did he? and i think -- >> that is not his fault. i mean, don't pick on aaron. he is a good guy. >> i'm sympathizing with aaron, that is not

it was a devastating loss for harry reed and this strategy was an extraordinarily bad strategy.he said he was wasting democrat's money. this is as embarrassing for him as karl rove debacle. you can't overstate how bad of a fight this was for harry reid and hope donor mine he completely blew. >> his party was wiped out in his home state. they lost the whole thing in nevada. also harry reid at war with the white house. bob costa wrote his chief of staff on record going after the obama camp, finally he is a minority leader at a time when the white house can no longer cater to him. >> mike born cam. his pack raised and spent more money than any pack in america. any pack. he blew it by trying to demonize two guys that most americans don't know about, don't care about. has nothing to do with tear daily lives. >> that's true. there is one added element, reid went out of his way to villify and get removed bill deihly on the edge of a deal with john ban tore put together an economic deal moving forward. three years ago. harry reid killed that. >> joining us now from capitol hill, congres

reed himself, harry reid blocked it from president obama. obama may be keen to compromise and push that through. >> we've been hearing trade pacts there could be a renewed push on them. we can't forget last year the debt ceiling debacle. republicans held out with that at the particular time with controlling just one house. now they've got both. you know could we see more of the same do you think? >> let's hope not. the general opinion amongst analysts and broader public that republicans were mostly to blame for shut down. it didn't work well for them. they may come out of this victory. that's the risk they overplay. one thing has changed. actually two things. political reality changed. they may consider they are much more held responsible to control congress in both chambers. secondly, economically, couple of years ago the u.s. had deficit of 10%. at the moment this year, it's said to come in 2.8% only there. that is less of issue now to redrum. of course presidential elections next year. do they want to rock the boat on this one? >> exactly

obstructionist perry reed is puppet -- t obama's harry reid is nothing but obama's puppet.hey are e saying really watchers and the node information about everything -- do they ever watch the senate? the amendments? i am an independent. i never, ever voted a straight ticket in my life. i listen to things and i will tell you another thing, i would rather have a hassell -- i'm going to turn to the name of doody president we have. >> what are your thoughts on race there in wisconsin? >> boy, he is great. he has done more for wisconsin than tommy thompson. and tommy thompson is a dear friend of mine. he has served three terms -- >> so you think scott walker wins reelection in? i'm saying by 5% more than his competitor. >> let's hear from anne. >> yes, i just want to say that the republicans have been obstructing for six years. for people who think that they are not obstructing, i would one law or bill that they are interested in passing for the poor or middle class. republicans have obstructed. the only thing they want to do cuts for the x wealthy and tax breaks for corporations

. >> current majority leader horie reed said in a statement, the message from voters is clear they want us to work together, according to current majority leader harryeid. republicans expanded majority in the house and held important governor seats. remember to stay with kpix 5 on the air and also on the web at kpix.com for continuing election coverage. >>> it is 6:39 now. voters in berkeley making a little history bypassing the nation's first sugary drinks tax. but will it have a domino effect around the country? we'll have more on the potential impact of that decision next. >> prosecutors are seeking an arrest for an east bay landlord. the violations that could land him behind bars. ,, >>> all right. let's fly you around the bay area. what a day it's going to be. about 70 degrees in daly city today. 71 and sunny in pacifica. you will find warmer temperatures inside the peninsula. 76 in redwood city. 75 in sunnyvale. into san jose, about 76 degrees. and 7 in gilroy. the east bay looking at sunshine all day long. sure, starting out with cool temperatures in the 40s and the 50s now but by the afternoon, mid- to upper 70s as you get over the hill ther

they were dismayed that reed would allow that to occur for such a small opportunity and a chance of landrieu being able to win. >> on the senate side, speaking of harry reid, a lot of hail marys now that they lot of so many seats. what is this about elizabeth warren given a made up leadership post? >> it sounds like they created the post for elizabeth warren. she is going to be working with the groups and have a seat at the table. it's a new role and she will be focused largely on policy issues, creating policy. i think if you look at this with a broad lens, this is a way to bring elizabeth warren into the fold a little bit more. heading into 2016 and democrats probably face issues with the populous wing of their party versus the more established wing represented by hillary clinton, this is a way to bring elizabeth warren closer. >> i wonder what hillary clinton thinks about all of this. >> you and i both. >> a big week on capitol hill and for climate policy with the upcoming votes in congress on the keystone pipeline and the new deal with china on global warming and climate change. changes are perhaps in the air, but republican leaders are slamming

harry reid's chief of staff was very quick to criticize the white house and an extensive piece in the washington post or one can assume senator reedew that those comments would be published. guest: that is correct and the new york times today follow-up and harry reid did not try to distance himself from the comments and basically said that they were true, the comments being that the white house was not helpful at all. that is more of an electoral argument and not necessarily substance. president obama is not popular, and he was meant to them favors, that is more of a strategic difference than a policy difference. host: from florida, republican line. good morning. caller: good morning. virginia. i am sorry. my question is it seems like the republicans were put in office policies,obama's's like some of the news commentators have said. if they do not oppose his policies, what is the possibility of the republicans losing power come 2016? also, with harry reid, like you said, being an -- and obstructionist in the senate, why didn't john boehner call him on his inability to get things done? i will take your comment off the air. guest: t
