. >> i saw james carville on msnbc saying we will have a winner declared by 10:00 pm last night. that worked out well. he declared a landslide in 2016, and at this point as you said drudge as well declaring it will be a landslide. cnn last night said no one ever said this would be a landslide. until you look at cnn polls which showed in this quarter their final poll just biden plus 12, in wisconsin joe biden plus 8, michigan joe biden plus 12, florida joe biden plus 4, the president won by 3 points, even though they were not saying landslide the polls in that network and others clearly were pointing the direction of a blue wave, didn't even have a ripple in a pond last night in terms of not just the presidency but republicans likely keeping the senate and even gaining seats in the house. >> you've got to wonder, if ultimately the polls turn out to be vastly incorrect, got to figure why is that? is it because of oversample democrats are independents who are undecided or is it just the fact that it is impossible to quantify the so-called shy trump voters, somebody who does not want

and joining me now, james carville, co-host of 2020 politics war room and nbc political analyst doriss goodwin. her latest book of many is "leadership in turbulent times." awful good to start with both of you on this sunday morning. doris, ladies first, we saw this administration yesterday blowing off four years of steam. give us your sense of this moment. >> i think what that moment represented was a huge change of mood on the part of all those people in the street, not simply a celebration but a sense of renewal and a huge sigh of relief. we saw that, too, in 1933 when roosevelt took his inauguration. all of a sudden they said, historians said the whole mood of the country changed because he told the people that it was not their fault, that it was the absence of leadership in the hoover administration, and that he would take responsibility, people would get back to work. suddenly there are headlines all over the country, the government still lives! a leader has come! and there was a wonderful letter sent in to roosevelt by a dog whose roof had flown off, the dog had run away, and we

you because it was a long time ago that james carville said it was the economy, stupid, but it was the economy this time around again when you look at exit polling. and you have one democratic house member who a anonymously telling cnn thank god fbiden or we would have gotten wiped out, critical of nancy pelosi and some of the more progressive democrats. and tim ryan saying as a party, we have to live and breathe in the economic space. does this change the cal could you cus you -- calculus, is there a major party to learn in. >> i do think culture is more of a dividing line in our politics than economics at this point. >> even though more people said that they voted on the economy? >> yeah, i do. i think attitudes towards the underlying cultural changes in the country and the democratic change is so powerful in driving -- look, what trump has been able to do is achieve enormous levels of turnout and continued margins even against joe biden. biden did recover somewhat among the blue collar white women, but probably not as much as they hoped. on the other hand, democrats really -- we can

. >> is it, as james carville once said, "the economy, stupid"? roughly half say the economy is excellent or good and roughly half say it's not. joining us is politico's chief economic correspondent ben white. good to have you with us it is interesting that as many people think the economy is good or more do, than think it's not good surprising >> a little bit, yeah. that's particularly true in these critical swing states, tyler. what's so interesting to me about this election is that joe biden has this very large national lead, something like ten points and could run up a very large popular vote win and still it could come down to the wire in some of these battleground state like pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, partly because voters are still split on the economy nationally trump's numbers are not as good on the kmeconomy bu he's still hanging in on the upper midwest states and that gives him a shot to pull off another surprising win tonight. the fact the numbers are tight in the swing states means there could be a big disconnect. >> getting p

and so i heard james carville on our air today suggesting jamie harrison someone who try today be nationaldemocratic committee chair in his failed senate run against lindsey graham, i can't imagine jamie harrison's name isn't going to be at the top of everyone emphasis mind and the tip of tongues as we head to the selection of the next dnc chair. >> much obliged to ashley park, shannon pettypiece, and john heilemann with our thanks. >>> coming up, the news on the vaccine front today was great and potentially life changing, make no mistake. but the virus is growing to a new record height every day in our country. so we'll talk about the challenge with an expert here tonight. and the president as we mentioned has fired the defense secretary, a former supreme allied commander which makes for a nice business card is saying tonight the president is playing with fire. he'll explain that comment when we speak with him live shortly. all of it as "the 11th hour" is just getting under way on this post-election back to work monday night. st-election back tk mondayig nht for people living with h-i-v,

>> i remember james carville, the rage incajun on msnbc, said the race will be called by 10:00 p.m.t back and looked at his 2016 prediction, he said donald trump would not only lose but drop out before the race but if he stayed in it would be a landslide. stop listening to people who continually get elections wrong. that might be a good start. the pollsters are as, i don't know, antiquated as my vrc and y answering machine. in other words way we poll people, used to be easy, land lined, you pick up, that was the only phone. maybe you have a landline but a cell phone. you text a lot. there is email. a thousand different ways people communicate. i don't think pollsters have adapted to the new technology. it is not new anymore. why the last two elections things have gone so badly. let me give you a couple stats, here, elizabeth. nate silver, 538, will get the jets to win super bowl because he is getting everything right these days, he said democrats had 75% chance of taking back the senate and 85% chance joe biden would win presidency. it would be a landslide. he gets that wrong. joe b

on election night, i was at an anchor desk with steve an anchor desk with steve schmidt and james carville and they knew what was happening 25 minutes before everybody else did. i was sitting in that room and i kind of knew what was happening. i realized 24 hours from now i'm going to have to do a show. and i don't know how to do it, but i also knew rachel was going to have to go first, and so i -- i saw you go out there. i saw you go out there and do it. and when the time came, you turned and smiled to me, and that smile got me through that night and that smile has gotten me through four years and you've gotten a lot of people through four years, rachel. thank you very much for getting us to where we will be tomorrow night. >> you are very kind to say so. i don't deserve one iota of any of that, lawrence, but it's very kind of you to say. and i do, you know, i do feel like -- i know you feel this way, too, it is an incredible honor to be able to be covering something this big and this important -- particularly with the colleagues that we have and the organization that we're in with all of

. >> james carville was talking to us yesterday at this time that he thinks it is going to be known in the 10:00 hour. he does think, because of the early reporting in florida, georgia, north carolina, and the extraordinary work that has been done in georgia in particular by stacey abrams over the years, he was suggesting that we really are going to know something serious, something very important that early rather than -- >> well, again, if you're trump, you have to win all those states, right? so if north carolina comes in, if georgia comes in and it's biden, it's almost all but certain that donald trump's path to reelection is over, right? so i think we'll be watching that 7:00 eastern hour as the majority of florida closes, the panhandle at 8:00, and about an hour after some of those polls close, a lot of those states, florida has a lot of practice in counting these early votes. you'll see a lot of votes go onto the board and we'll get a sense starting in those hours about an hour after the polls close, in those three important states, what direction this election is going in. >> a

question at the risk of having his head explode on national television, and that is watching james carville on this network within the last hour, i heard him project a biden victory in the state of pennsylvania. by 150,000. i talked to two other senior democrats today who are talking about the same thing, 125,000, 130,000. where are they possibly getting that math, steve? >> the math comes from the type of ballot that's left in pennsylvania. let's take a look here. so you can see, by the way, donald trump's lead in pennsylvania right now sits at 246,000 votes. if you can remember, folks who were watching in the wee hours this morning, this lead for trump was over 600,000. so since this morning until now, you know, 400,000 votes. biden has trimmed that lead by 400,000 votes. why? because in pennsylvania what you got first throughout the state, you got the vote that was cast on election day. you know, some counties had a little bit of their mail-in vote counted as well yesterday, but initially across the board you were getting the election day vote, and in pennsylvania we are seeing a particu

james carville saying maybe the woke people should take a nap. >> he is not alone in that sentiment.y saying he thought it cost some races. lindsey graham won by 10 in south carolina as opposed to the polls going in. i think you are hearing all voices like senator joe manchin from west virginia saying i'm not voting for any of that to kill the filibuster, for the green new deal. packing the courts. there is going to be some battles that develop here within the democratic party about how they are going to govern because you look at house speaker nancy pelosi, she has fewer members to back up whatever vote she is trying to push through. >> trace: bret baier, we'll see you tonight at 6:00 special report. good to see you, sir. thank you. >> sandra: president-elect joe biden laying out plans for his first days in office. one of those policies could cost thousands of american jobs. american action forum president douglas heakin will join us next to break that down. bipolar depression. emptiness. a hopeless struggle. the lows of bipolar depression can disrupt your life and be hard to manage

james carville begging for enthusiasm for joe biden in that county so we will see if joe biden can makee rest of the night as we continue to get those votes in. but overall, the panhandle of course is trump country and we will wait to see if those voters turned out as the trump campaign is depending on a belief that they will. >> with regard to the elderly vote in florida, which is critical in that state, a quinnipiac poll had biden up 15 points with the elderly. it was widely thought the elderly vote in that state was going to swing towards biden. so far, 65 -- voters 65 and older, trump leading by the narrowest of margins, 50-49, he would like to be winning by more than that but that is a lot different picture we were getting from a few weeks ago with the senior vote in florida, so that might be encouraging to the trump campaign. >> bret: think about both stops that he made in florida and georgia, those three southern states are going to be really crucial as we are getting ready for the next poll close and we may have some more calls in just seconds. >> announcer: the polls are closin
