which is now more important than ever. ♪♪ >>> we're back with james carville. nt to ask james about republicans, if they could take or get control, if they got these two seats, kevin mccarthy could face a revolt. there's a report he could have a full race for speaker. if it's down to one or two votes -- you have to keep them all. here's what one member is saying today. >> i'm not voting for kevin mccarthy. i'm not voting for him tomorrow, i'm not voting for him on the floor, and i am certain that there is a critical mass of people who hold my precise view, so the sooner we can dispense with the notion kevin's going to be speaker we can get to the important work. >> dispense with the notion. that's conservative matt gaetz. while trump has an announcement tomorrow, which has conservatives concerned. >> donald trump, do you plan on supporting that candidate? >> you're giving me a theoretical. >> can you see any circumstance by which you would support donald trump in 2024? >> not really. >> please, mr. president, don't run again. >> can he win? my opinion, no, he ca

james carville is back with us. as you know, james, people love polls.at generic ballot poll. with all due respect, ain't no generic ballot election. you can poll it and talk about it. in three of the four states have key turnout. you're on the record. we'll check back whether you're right or not, but what does that say to you tonight? >> i'm on the different end a that. >> you're in the barn. >> yeah, i'm in the barn. those numbers are impressive. i don't know what they mean, but gee, i looked at them going, that big of a turn around? what it means tough ask charlie or david, but i think it means something. i hope it means something good. i hope it means young people and female are voting. >> you're not a quantity in the way the chief of staff or sometimes the cia director doesn't create the intelligence. they receive the intelligence. but when you are a top flight strategist as you have been, you'd get all the numbers coming in. obviously if you're a democrat at a certain level, this is better than the alternative, better to start counting up a lead th

. >> co-host of "the politics war room" podcast, james carville. good to have you back. >> what are you doing? what are you doing, man? come on. let me tell you something -- >> what's he doing? >> -- i was cool with tennessee beating us, right? it's great that the vols are back. i hated them when they beat us all the time. great they're back. but i can't ever get over lsu beating us, especially at the last second. what a game that was, james. what a game. >> you know, coach saban was great. he was like alabama fans. they don't understand trying to beat us too. people forget when you have a contest, a political contest, athletic contest, the other side is trying. >> exactly. so, james, we don't know what's going to happen today. i'm already hearing reports democrats are feeling pretty good in some places. a republican senate candidate who's supposed to win easily. i'm hearing he's very concerned, especially in the suburbs, that they may be breaking against republicans. we don't know who's going to win. >> yeah. >> that said, looking ahead to '24, wh

may very bad james carville accent. at have you guys figured out looking through the numbers, the data, what happened on tuesday that caught even the most optimistic democrats by surprise? >> well, i think you had a great james impersonation there. >> oh, thank you. >> as a kid, i worked with him in louisiana. look, i think that we were certainly optimistic, and we knew that turnout, if people turned out like we saw in 2020, what we would call the biden coalition, young people, women, communities of color that are to responding to actually seeing what can be delivered and the progress that we've made, that we would have a good night. but also i think we saw that people in places that had early vote and voting by mail and election-day vote, more people were able to participate because the process was easier. i think that was significant. that's what the president was speaking to, too, before the election. how do we have patience and looking at the results of what happened but how do we do more so people in the country con

joining me now, a democratic strategist, james carville. to have you. >> glad to be here. thank you. >> let's talk about this. i feel the media has overplayed the importance of desantis and underplayed the victory for whitmer. whitmer, to me, was the biggest single individual winner on election day because not only did she, she survived the kidnapping threat, she survived real threats to democracy in her state, got reelected by a healthy margin, and took over the state. your thoughts? >> first of all, for 2024 2028, she's already in the top of being a very serious presidential candidate if she runs. i think people really understand what she's done and how tough she is. michigan democrats -- a bunch of these people really worked hard and did a good job. as they did in pennsylvania. i said this morning, josh shapiro might have had the best campaign of the whole cycle to me. they were very aggressive. they got enough votes. i think they have helped fetterman a lot. yes, i think you are right to pointed out. i think gretchen whitmer is at the t

and james carville of course the book which i still love and have students read this in my class. all is fair, love and war that they couldt rotate 93 and after that campaign of course 20 years later came 20 years, three presidents, two daughters and one louisiana home which is a terrific book. i want to start with you because of your career in politics going back to the 80s and you've seen so much what is your perspective on women in politics and the experiences you've had and what shape to you as a woman in politics? >> before we get to that let's hats off to betsy fisher that epitomizes the leadership with women and i am reminded that. this is -- was anybody at the last one? this is amazing which is a tribute to so many things not leastck new orleans. so it's good to be back with the community again. it changed what i was going to talk about who makes it through the glass ceiling and the other innovative and progressive thing that the other ladies have said this is my one giant 50 years in politics arrived on the firstt state. back in the old environmentalist days so 50 years a

. >> well, i appreciate james carville, and anyone who watches this knows i think we have a tech glitch is not a republican senator. let me check in and see, do we have that sound? we don't have it so i'm going to summarize it. you've got basically republican senators in hawley and ted cruz calling out mitch mcconnell in public, plus rick scott who's actually running. so, those are strong attacks from senators on the conservative side. no one knows if they can find and build the critical mass against mcconnell in an open vote where they would actually have the majority. no one knows whether he'll win again as he has done many times in his notably long and wiley career. but to hear some republicans it's larger than mcconnell, because the voters have thoroughly rejected this republican party as it is known today. indeed, that's how republican senator josh hawley sees it. >> i think that this election was the funeral for the republican party as we know it. the republican party as we have known it is dead, and voters have made that clear. >> damn. that is an attempted wakeup call, republica

the issue is what it always is, is james carville, said bill clinton's famously shrewd campaign manager. it's almost always the economy, stupid, and right now with cost of living at 40 year highs with inflation utterly out of control with bite and having thrown gasoline onto the fire by trillion dollar spending plan. after trillion dollar spending plan, there's really nobody to blame but him for inflation and critically independent voters. many youth by the way, are independent voters overwhelmingly blamed the president for inflation for cost of living and for the recession to come. because the only way to get inflation down is going to be to, as we've seen with the fed, to ratchet interest rates up very quickly. almost always that's as larry summers pointed out, that leads to recession and young voters are of course, the most vulnerable segment of society. they're the ones actually doing the jobs out there. so this or fax them to pretend that pocket book issues don't motivate them, is not to understand young voters tongue holes then thank you so much for your analysis . really interest

we're looking at kari lake, do you think james carville would have let that fly. >> no, no. >> james himself, and said i don't know what's wrong with that woman, but when is the white house, let me ask this question, when is the white house going to get a political director that focuses their message and helps them effectively use the bully pulpit, willie? >> yeah, michael. >> joe's asked the question. >> first of all, i would say ron klain is the de facto political director. >> no, he's not. >> he's the chief of staff. >> he's the chief of staff, and if you call tweeting while you're chief of staff a political director. >> i'm not defending it. i'm just saying, i think that's the role he serves. >> he ain't a political director. i've seen a political director and ron klain ain't a political director. >> and that's not the job of the chief of staff. like you said, the bush white house had karl rove, he ran the political operations and made the connection in the messaging and the organization structure with the rnc. for the dnc, like the rnc, the political arm of the white house, so t

and she's written several books and co written with her husband james carville, of course, her books the first one which i still love and i still have students read this this book in my class, all's fair love war and running for president, which they co-wrote in 1993 after that 92 campaign and then of course 20 years later came love war 20 years three presidents two daughters and one louisiana home, which is also a terrific book and she also wrote a book letters to my daughters as well. so i guess mary i want to start with you because of your long career in politics even going way back to the 80s when you first started when politics and you've seen so much. what is your perspective on women in politics the experiences that you've had and what shaped you is as a woman in politics. but before we get to that, let's hats off to betsy fisher who is a true leader and is is epitomized a leadership with women? and i'm reminded what? she had when we met she were you executive producer for tim russert who said and i'm going to say this because he's not here, but my husband if mary madeline. to

it's always as james carville said, "it's the economy, stupid." if you look at the republican message, it's 3%. it's at the bottom of the list. what is the disconnect here for democrats on abortion and republicans on crime? >> look, i can't speak for national democrats or national republicans. i can speak to what i hear in pennsylvania every day. i would just tell you i think pennsylvania voters, republican and democrats, they know how to walk and chew gum. they care about rising costs and care about their personal freedoms. those personal freedoms are under attack with this dangerous extreme opponent that i'm running against who wants to ban and criminalize all abortion with no exception. i lean in on personal freedoms and talk about the economy and crime. i'm proud to be endorsed by prosecutors of both parties, by local police all across pennsylvania. i've got a plan to hire 2,000 more police officers across this commonwealth, properly trained and from the communities that they are subomeone to protect because have a right to be safe and feel sa

does he more of alex michaelson scatter station with political strategist james carville, former u.bara boxer and more tune into the issue is that show will get started tomorrow morning at 5 30 right here on ktvu. new state level investigators tasked with looking into voter fraud say they have found no indication of system problems. the investigation units were created after the 2020 presidential election. election officials say the absence of widespread voter fraud is important to ensure the american people have trust in the election process, despite accusations spread by former president donald trump and his allies. video shows how people packed in cars formed long lines to flee ukraine's war torn city of kherson today, most are making the move after suffering without heat, water and electricity because of russian attacks, while recent attacks appear to be targeting infrastructure, some civilian casualties have been reported repair crews across the country are scrambling to restore heat. electricity and water services. to the murder mystery in idaho that has a community on edge an

i think van jones said something similar on cnn, james carville on another station who said no matter what happens tonight in these close races, the messaging needs to change for democrats going into 2024. i do think the abortion issue still has power, and the overturning of roe v. wade in some corners, especially suburban white women, suburban women in general, but also plays the other way, and you know, there are hispanics and african americans who have a problem with abortion, period, but abortion after 15 weeks, you know, it does play a different way in a part of their base. >> john: so one of the big questions after tonight will be if republicans take control, what does the future look like for a glimpse behind that curtain, we went back to 1994 and the architect of that big house victory. newt gingrinch and he told us how he and bill clinton came to an agreement to work together after that, and we wonder if biden will do the same thing. listen to what he told us. >> and bill clinton's case, he had to overrule his staff. his staff wanted him to stand firmly for the left wing and

democrats also lost seats in florida and strategist james carville thinks it's time to give up on the sunshine state. >> we don't lose that bad in mississippi. i think that, you know, it's not as many electoral votes, but i think democrats might be better off looking at mississippi and florida. i don't know that it's going to rip off the top of my head, but it's been very frustrating. >> okay, all right, dana, i'll start with you. so, sean, pat cipollone, i've been interested in that race, you know, from the get go when he was in paris raising money on that balcony. i was. do you remember that, harold? i was really upset about that. >> follow him that closely. yeah, well, we did on the five. you didn't read the package and they are, but you probably weren't on that day. but the point is that he seems to be blaming aoc is not doing enough. >> should she have done more ? well, i have two ways of answering this. so sean pat cipollone, he got redistricted. he basically ousted a democratic incumbent and then he lost to a republican . and he's head of the democratic congressional committee.

yes, it is the economy, stupid, is the line you can borrow from james carville in the early 1990's. you can generally apply that here. i think it is about the insecurity, i think it is about americans feeling like economically they are not sure what things look like a month or two from now. they are not sure what it will cost to fill up their gas tank. they are not sure what their 401(k) will look like. they want stability and security economically. in terms of physical security, they are concerned about rising crime. they are concerned about the border. they are concerned not necessarily about foreign affairs generally that is low in , the issue mix, but worries about, what if vladimir putin wakes up on the wrong side of the bed tomorrow? what happens if china decides they would like to bring taiwan back? what if these things start happening that leads to physical insecurity? the world and community as an unsafe place. then, you have anxiety about our democracy itself. to what extent are we so divided? it is one of the only things i see impose that everyone agrees on is that we are

on the left, james carville and paul begala. on the right, robert novak and tucker carlson.n "crossfire." it was 2004. john kerry was the democratic presidential nominee facing george w. bush. and i thought, you know, watching it, i said, this is going to be a funny show. >> can i say something very quickly? why do we have to fight? the two of you, can't we just say something nice about john kerry, right now. >> i like john. i care about john kerry. >> and something about president bush. >> he'll be unemployed soon. >> anyone who enjoyed paying attention to the news and watched "the daily show" will forever remember jon stewart going on "crossfire" and reading those guys the riot act. >> you're doing theater when you should be doing debate. which would be great. >> i do do debate. >> it's not honest. what you do is not honest. it's partisan hackery. and i'll tell you why i know it. >> you had john kerry on your show and you kiss his throne and you accuse us of hackery? >> absolutely. >> you've got to be kidding me. >> the show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone

i'm not 100% always republican, but this time, for me, and i think to quote the james carville, it'sconomy, stupid. that's what led me to vote straight republican this time. host: mike dewine wins by 20 points. j.d. vance is in the lead but the race hasn't been called. why the difference between the two? >> i think in ohio, there is still some -- and i understand that we went to trump in the last election. i believe j.d. vance was more aligned with donald trump this go around even though they did have their hiccups and some bickering along the way. whereas the wind total aligned very well. i also think he handled covid very well. i think he gained a lot of respect from both sides on how he handled covid. a lot of my friends who are democrat respected how he handled that situation. i think he has been tested and proven. host: what kind of work do you do in akron? >> i work in health care. >> jacob is in aotsp. independent line. all right, jacob. talk to us about your experience and what t issues are. >> right now i'm going to school at arizona state in phoenix. so little bit just up t

so should we all quote for the millionth time james carville, it's the economy, stupid.ing down to. just to echo something mark said and john king said, i think the word we're hearing on both sides of the aisle is patience and i think it was very reassuring actually to hear that voter say he had faith in the system, because this is going to take a while. he may want those absentee ballots counted more quickly. it's just going to take time. >> we might not know tomorrow night. could take a few days. that wouldn't be a huge surprise. audie, we do know that both sides have been pouring in huge up sums of money, about $160 million in television ads in pennsylvania alone. and that underscores what's at stake right now. >> well, remember, it's creating context, right, for these voters. there was a voter we heard earlier that said the crime seems bad in philly, hope it doesn't get to the suburb. they're afraid of what they aren't actually dealing with and those ads are effective, it means. similar around abortion issue, remember, it's not just about fetterman or oz, there's a g

just reference to that james caravelle line of -- carvill line of 2022.aybe you see debt ick headquarters behind me but it turned into a pivot county. it's one of hundreds across the u.s. that voted twice for president obama and pivoted to tram nap 2016 and the only pivot county in pennsylvania that ststayed with trump in 2020. two of the others pivoted back to the democrats. the democrats have been losing registered voters here in lu cera n county for awhile and about 12,000 since 2016 and the republicans named 14,000 since 2016. why is that? well, as we said at the outset, kind of about the economy. >> price of fuel, the price of diesel, so everything goes up that we see. >> i was a nurse for 40 years and i had my 401k and seems like we're draining on that right now. >> inflation is on the minds of he can be and doesn't seem to be an end in sight and everyone is worried about heating their holmes in the winter. >> reporter: it's money, gasoline prices, inflation and how it hurts us every day of the week. >> retired teacher 33 years but price of gas, pri

another point i think we should make is yesterday we sat here and i think i quoted james carville andwins not only for biden, but for the democratic party. >> there's no doubt that after bill clinton was elected president of the united states in his first midterm, he lost a whole bunch of seats in the house of representatives. same with barack obama. in this particular case, let's see what happens when the final count comes forward, but it's not going to be as bad as so many have anticipated for the democrats. >> we'll pick up this conversation after a very short break. when we come back, as we await the president of the united states to speak, we'll talk more about his -- his political future.

me telling james carville, during, break like i don't think that is gonna win this -- and never forgetthat goes both ways. democrats have the sort of insecurity, i think republicans still ascribe to that man, this totemic power that he does not have, he does not have some magic power, i'm telling the republicans -- i'm looking -- he does not have a magic power, he's unpopular! he is unpopular! he screwed you two dead. screwed you! it's not the full story, i totally agree, but it's part of the story -- and the sooner you dump him, the better it is for the republican party on american democracy, full stop. >> sorry -- go alex, and then we have somewhere to go to to prove this point -- >> i think the -- the degree to which they continue to kiss the ring, to bend the knee, they are defending him on mar-a-lago! he -- he accuses of the fbi upon lawful search and seizure, and there are attacks on fbi officers. there's a reason that believes that he has full-time a power, because he has some sway on the grassroots. but the grassroots is not deciding elections right now. >> garrett haake, nbc n
