always had into stories you can't wait to share; with ancestry. >>> we are back with our guests james carvillehy. james, as promised to you and it seems like a week ago, but it happened during the election tuesday night. here's a quote today from jonathan chate who says the difference between a one vote majority and one vote minority is not trivial. it is everything. it's the difference between impotence and having a presidency, the nature of reporters and commenters on cable news and social media -- certainly didn't mean us -- is to overreact to what most recent development is playing out on their screen. in this case we may be underreacting. in our defense we did have the minor matter of the looting and desecration of our capitol to talk about yesterday in the aftermath of the georgia election. but, james, talk about the importance of what the democrats pulled off this week. >> well, mark twain famously said the difference between the right word and the nearly right word is the difference between lightening and a lightening bug. i think that's what john chate is trying to say. it's a big, bi

if people believe in the economy and they believe in james carville, they turn out for the republicanst was a terrific segment. including the carpet capital of the world. i didn't know that. here we are, a few hours before we are back on the air to cover this. what are you looking for? jeanne: we are looking at turned out the big thing. we keep hearing, is this an election in 2020 about the economy? we keep hearing no, because biden one, but republicans did better in georgia down ballot. there are some democrats who are concerned, going forward, that if the democrats don't have a strong economic message, they will lose those down ballot races. i'm curious to see if the economy plays in this runoff, or is it about divided government? david: it strikes me that we have candidates who couldn't be more different in terms of age, experience, orientation. they are really different candidates. jeanne: and three newcomers to politics, maybe even four. urdu is a longer-term incumbent, but these are people who are new to politics. style,, a very different as is ossoff from both loeffler and purdu

i mean james carville and then look like you. fidel castro out of castro i went to heaven if you still can. he ran his could he had his country along even any person ever i don't think anybody ran a country for 60 years and he's a fascinating person to be a revolutionary came down from the hills i was on the radio the morning he marched i was on the radio in miami the morning he marched into. and i've always had a fascination with him i went over and it's a beautiful silly and we still haven't been able to work about ted turner tried to get him for me because ted to fish with a lot and he's a baseball guy and i like baseball it's almost tried to make something of with that but it would have been castro i missed ice cream well no you you still can. oh i would go tomorrow to. my perch and i was at work up the road my whole. and all the interviews you've done which is moved you the most emotionally whether it's a spiritual leader you met or probably less likely but a politician or somebody who's given a personal testimony of war cri

are happy to be joined at this hour by the veteran democratic strategist and notable introvert james carvilleme. what do you think of what you see tonight? >> look, i've got to love anybody with a political iq above room temperature that thinks we're going to win both of these races. so i'm very optimistic. i want to impart one thing, where trump went my friend pointed out to me that ossoff ran ever so slightly but better than biden ran, and the turnout was lower than the state average. he came, he spoke, and he lost. he couldn't even help him carry -- he had whitfield county but he didn't help him one lick. this guy is a loser and he's done. he'll cause inconvenience, but that's it. democrats are going to win both of these races and it's a great night for the united states. >> if that indeed is the outcome, and i can't repeat enough times we have reached no such conclusions but this is just two guys talking, what will the lessons be to you? >> first of all, i think that the attack on warnock, church it backfired. i think when political archeologists unearth this, they're going to see there w

first, he cost himself a winnable election, to invoke james carville. it was the virus, stupid! and then he tossed senators loeffler and perdue their elections and his party's control of the senate. it's not rocket science. you can't tell people that a system is rigged while simultaneously asking them to participate in that rigged system. and then came wednesday. by the way, the vulnerability of the capitol was appalling. as i told chris cuomo that night, this was not 9/11 or a sneak attack against partying haitians launched on christmas. the protesters were coming to town was well-known the internet chatter porteurtended violence. and on the reports that iran would seek retribution one year later of general soleimani. we're lucky it wasn't worse. if they carried weapons it could have been catastrophic. the night before some confronted senator mitt romney when he knew from salt lake city to washington. in-flight for 20 seconds, they chanted "traitor." >> traitor, traitor, traitor. >> and on wednesday inside, they pregamed. donald trump jr. said this against congressional republi

we might not be having parades in new orleans this year, but james carville is delivering. >>> we arefrom surpassing an extraordinary number, 400,000 u.s. coronavirus american deaths. a member of president-elect biden's coronavirus advisory board joins us on how they plan to overcome the trump administration's mistakes with vaccine distribution. mornings were made for better things than rheumatoid arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz... a pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when methotrexate has not helped enough. xeljanz can help relieve joint pain and swelling, stiffness, and helps stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra

unfortunately, trump has made that common everyday conversation during his four years, because, as james carvil said earlier in your show, he really is a career criminal in some ways. but it's still serious business to look at a seditious conspiracy prosecution. and although it's clear that at least for impeachment purposes he abused trust, he should be convicted by the senate for violating all of the oaths and obligations of a president, that criminal conviction question is still a little bit further out there and will require more work by law enforcement. >> one last quick question to you, clint. and i know you talked about the fact that you have family and friends that are turning in those that they see on these terrible videotapes. how long do you think the fallout from this is going to last? i know you've made comments about a new civil war. do you think america is locked into a season of insurrection going forward? >> i think there are a couple things that dampen the chances of it in the near term. but it really depends on president trump. how he behaves after inauguration will set the to

james carville would be on msnbc doing tequila shots, crying into one of his squashed up hats i'm assumingom a dumpster behind a louisiana thrift store what's with this guy he looks like a little kid who wished on a monkey's paw to be a grown- up. "aw, codswaddle, not like this oh, you win this round, monkey paw! oh, on top of all that, trump is overseen the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of americans and will leave office with 3 million fewer jobs than when he took office, by far the worst jobs record in modern u.s. history. even if everything else about him is forgotten 100 years from now, those numbers will be remembered forever when it's time to do oral reports in history class, every student will want trump, because it will be the easiest assignment "michael, can you give us fdr's accomplishments?

first and foremost to borrow from my old pal james carville, kind of amend his statement, it is the vaccine, stupid, okay? we have to administer inoculate a large percentage of the population so that the economy can be reopened on a permanent basis. you know, the stop, start, has hurt. i think what the federal government has got to do is get the 50 states in line, get a good program in place, get people inoculated and open this economy permanently. having said that, neil, you know, you and i remember the days of dot-com to do the gone? right now in every market cycle, there will be excesses. right now, you're looking at the spac phenomena. tell you, neil, there will be some spacs that will be very successful and some spacs that will become tire tracks. so investors have got to be very, very careful. you know, this president has pledged a program of unity and the covid relief package is going to be his first major test after effectively oversees the vaccine distribution program. if we get a program somewhere between zero and 1.9 trillion, that is agreed upon by both sides of the aisle, that
