senator santorum, senator bayh, thank you both. i appreciate your time. >> thank you. >>> coming up for us, we have 14,000 troops in afghanistan. the president of the united states says he might send even more troops, though, to the u.s./mexico border. details on that ahead. >> plus, president trump says the blue wave is dead. why nancy pelosi -- while nancy pelosi is predicting victory come next week. where do things stand right now? we have brand-new numbers coming in. stay with us. always a catch. like somehow you wind up getting less. but now that i book at hilton.com, and i get all these great perks. i got to select my room from the floor plan... very nice... i know, i'm good at picking stuff. free wi-fi... laptop by the pool is a bold choice... and the price match guarantee. how do you know all of this? are you like some magical hilton fairy? it's just here on the hilton app. just available to the public, so... book at hilton.com and get the hilton price match guarantee. if you find a lower rate, we match it and give you 25%

lockhart and rick santorum, political commentators for cnn. jeffrey toobin, i want to start with you. this morning already the president weighed in on twitter and said yeah i was doing business during the campaign and i lightly looked at doing a building somewhere in russia. i call this a few good men defense, you are damn right i did, i was doing this. did he break a law? >> certainly not by conducting his real estate business. it is not illegal now or then, and the question is was he candidate with the other candidates during this period about what he was doing and how does that relate to the other parts of the investigation where there might be illegal activity. certainly the developments itself was not illegal. what he keeps saying is that everybody knew i was negotiating in moscow during the first half of 2016, obviously untrue. we all know what he did and didn't say, and he did not say he was negotiating with russia. that's important because this was the period when he was being so mysteriously kind to putin. why did they change the amer

rick santorum and kirsten powers.ers of the president and very clearly see why the president is quadrupling down on immigration issues six days before the midterms. >> right. well, so these are issues that correspond with what donald trump believes and his base believes. you know, you certainly can say he is doing some of these things to gin up support in the midterms which in itself isn't a problem, it's something presidents do. the thing that i'd say is different is when you utilize troops and send them somewhere, versus just rhetoric of making promises that will make your base happy. then there's the separate issue that just a lot of what he's saying about this caravan is just actually false. >> senator santorum, is it appropriate to use troops in this capacity at this stage? >> well, look, you have a large group of people heading to the border and the president has an obligation to make sure that the border is secure. what he's doing -- you know, if he wait -- people say, well, he should wait to see what happens.

senator santorum, have you ever paid attention to midterms? >> i remember one particular midterm in 2006. that was very memorable. >> which permits you to be here tonight. >> that's why i'm here. so thank you very much. people have asked me how important this midterm is. i'll be honest with you. i hate to say it. i don't think it's that important. i mean, i don't think things are going to change that much in washington. in fact, i see -- david and i were talking about this offstage. i actually think that the way it's stacking up right now just is a -- is perfectly for trump. >> how so? >> because he needs to pick up seats in the senate. for a variety of reasons. he wants to confirm his judges. he wants to be able to have a block about any bad things the house is going to do. and i think that's happening. if you look at where he's campaigning, he's campaigning in senate races. his message, all about winning those red states in the senate. he is trying to build his buffer in the senate. why? because in two years when he thinks he'll be re-electe

senator santorum, the president, his lawyers, they got what they wanted. they got the take-home test in effect. written questions they would reply written answers to. now we hear the president's lawyer rudy giuliani is complaining about some of those written questions. he calls them unnecessary. he goes on to say there are some that create more issues for us legally than others. why can't the president of the united states answer written questions from a special counsel? >> well, he will. he's in the process of doing so. and i think he will answer them. obviously, you know, director mueller is someone who is a pretty smart cookie when it comes to trying to get information. and i'm sure they put some pretty challenging questions out there. and pushed the envelope on the president. it's up to him and his lawyers to make sure they truthfully answer those and do so in a way that obviously protects their client. >> but isn't that the thing? truthfully answer them, because they use this term again, perjury trap. the way, like a speed trap, you avoid a speed trap

i covered mike huckabee, rick santorum for 10 months. romney, they all relatively speaking took a similar tack to reaching out to religious voters. president trump, then candidate trump, even businessman trump, mr. trump never really do that. he didn't seem that engaged, even when telling stories. it was about winning for him. he recognized that religious voters, evangelical voters at the end of the day after losing to president obama in 2008, after watching huckabee and santorum fall in 2012, they didn't necessarily care if the candidate running for their public and nomination was like them. what they wanted was power. one thing i have learned as a political reporter is that power unites. power brings people together in ways that any kind of virtue signaling or characteristic or soundbite can't. what did religious voters really want? withfast changing culture, the norms of their lives and their faith being upended by the month by the courts? they didn't care of senator cruz was like them and talked like them. senator cruz barely wins th

jennifer grant home and rick santorum.antorum, do you know from whence the president is deriving this wisdom about the people walking in circles with the changed hats and shirts? >> i do not, but that doesn't mean it's never happened. i'm sure it has happened. >> why are you sure it has happened? >> look, the bottom line is people do commit voter fraud. i mean, people commit fraud on a variety of different things. people lie, cheat and steel every day. if you don't think they do it during an election, you're deluding your several. the question is do we have laws in place and systems in place to limit that. and that's one of the things republicans have been all about, making sure there is integrity in the voting process, and i do agree with you that i don't think it helps anybody, the president or our party or anybody to go out and make specious claims about voter fraud that are unsubstantiated because it's a serious business and i do believe it does exist. i know the cases are prosecuted. i've talked to lots of attorney ge

carrie cordero is here, malik henderson, former senator rick santorum, jen sakki. nonlegal term. is this a non-sketchy reason paul manafort would have had meetings? this is "guardian" reporting, we can't verify it -- with julian assange? >> it's a good question. why else would he be there? what would he be doing? it was right about the time one of the meetings alleged to have taken place in the spring of '16. right before he jump joined the trump campaign. wikileaks had for several years been in the business of releasing classified information, so facilitating the unauthorized disclosure of really sensitive and high volume of classified and very sensitive u.s. government diplomatic and classified information. so that is what we know and that is what he should have known at the time about wikileaks. whether or not there was some other nonnefarious reason to be there, who knows? also with respect to whether or not the meetings took place, he denies them. "the guardian" has his reporting. i would say these are verifiable facts. >> right. >> he was either -- so investigations whether

shawn lou, laura coates, kirsten powers, rick santorum and in some far off distant land called new york cnn chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin, a creature of new york. laura, the defendant -- there's a lot of stuff that just seems normal now, but when i saw that retweet from the president, the president is defending his own deputy attorney general behind bars. >> you could say it was shocking but it isn't shocking anymore. that's what's so shocking about it, is that he's accusing effectively his own deputy attorney general of treason. and it just seems to me he's accusing bob mueller of being mccarthy and the rage we're seeing now seems to be getting more and more frantic every single day. and i think it's because the walls are kind of closing in on him and maybe manafort's attorney has been telling him things he's not happy to hear because he's been keeping him informed on what's been going on in the mueller negotiations. and giuliani has said they knew it wasn't going well. and so, you know, i think this is a president that is under an awful lot of stress because he seems to be spendi

rick santorum and anna navaro next. people all over the world to prepare them for the future of work. we go into classrooms and we teach entrepreneurial skills and leadership skills. when you actually create a business when you're in your teens, it raises your self-confidence. junior achievement is really unique because they inspire young people to think creatively. the citi foundation's pathways to progress initiative helped us reach kids in over 50 countries. citi has also loaned us their executives and their employees to help us deliver our programs. our youth are three times more likely to become entrepreneurs and they're more likely to create jobs for others. they are going to bring an entrepreneurial spirit to making our world a better place. ♪ thank you. now let's get started. ♪ the future isn't created in a keynote address. ♪ a presidential speech did not land us on the moon. millions of man hours did. they built their way there. some will ta-ta-ta-ta-talk about the future. but you'd be a fool to believe them. you see talk doesn't get things done. building does. building like

they were excited. >> from supporting santorum it is hard to think of two more different candidates. >> not true at all. economic populism. look at rick's books, they just didn't say it artfully. the president got it out there. there is, democrats abandoned the working class in america and donald trump found that vain. if you travel across the midwest and go to be sound, working-class town, ambridge, pennsylvania, no president had come there before. all these steelworkers showed up and they are like you haven't forgotten us, you got our back and that is the message that resonates. >> let me ask, i will say as a died in the war non-trump fan. >> you are not a trump fan? >> i know, shocking. maybe you haven't seen this thing called the internet. he does something i like i will support it. on the economic populism front, his correction was not as far as i had gone but it was good politics, better than nafta under bill clinton. i said it publicly and i will say it again and to meet it is not republican in the sense of the party you ran. i'm very intrigued. it is not my party, fun to watc

>> rick santorum is not the president. he's not a.g. >> true. true. well said. so you have this situation where there becomes concern of how the president processes good and bad. right and wrong. right? and this is is not necessarily your bailiwick, but it's an extension of the same intellectual construct. khashoggi happens. okay? his cia, his people, they look at it, they say the way this went down, the prince knew. he looks at it and says, maybe he did, maybe he did not. let's stop right there. the cia gives you a report and says this man, this -- >> high confidence. >> high confidence. >> right. >> is that maybe he did, maybe he didn't? >> usually they back it up with the evidence that they have. that's not maybe he did, maybe he didn't. >> what does it mean the president looks at it and says maybe? >> i think what the president is doing is hedging and saying, well, they don't have a confession. they don't have a photograph of him doing it. they don't have a recording of him giving the order and, therefore, it's equivocal. that's ridiculous. >> sure. it's cer

senator santorum, let me ask you a question. why is the georgia governor's race competitive?-- really, it's a red state. i saw a georgia official not long ago, a republican, he said -- and this is weeks ago. but he said, 55/45 republican. that's just generally how the state goes. why is stacy abrams making this such a race against the secretary of that state, brian kemp? >> well, i mean, kemp ran against the establishment, and as we have seen with -- sometimes when conservatives run against the establishment, ken cuccinelli in virginia, for example. had the establishment been behind him, he would have won that race. but they didn't. that's what happens sometimes. when the conservative uprising happens and moderate republicans tend to walk away. look, i think stacy abrams is a good candidate. she has done a good job. she has run a good race. and if she can turn out the minority vote in georgia, she has a good chance of winning. >> well, he's really aligned himself with trump, though. so i don't understand. >> brian kemp has. >> isn't trump supposed to be the big king-maker and

we have just the right folks, david chalian, gloria borger, rick santorum and david urban. we also have john king at the wall. i do want to start with him. john, let's just talk about late polls and what they show about voter preference, how much does the president factor into that? >> the president factors in big and the late numbers show us the democrats will have no excuses come wednesday morning if they don't retake the house of representatives. this is the map. house is the big battleground. we favor the democrats for 207 seats. solid lean and likely. that means they're only 11 away if that map holds from seesing t -- seizing the majority. our new poll is off the charts for the democrats showing a 13-point advantage in the so-called generic ballot. if that number is true, democrats will take the house and get above 30 seats without a doubt. two other recent polls, nbc, wall street journal, washington post, abc, have the democratic lead about half of what the cnn poll has. this is still enough for democrats to get the 23 seats but this is more 20 to 28, 29, 30, this is

rick santorum is not exactly some shrinking violet. if he felt strongly, he would use it. but if you want to make the argument, make the argument. the idea that any reporter asking that question, in particular an african-american woman is asking a racist question just boggles the mind. it is a perfectly legitimate question and i'm sure there is a will the answer. i've had kfconversations with conservatives that the idea that this is a code word, a dog whistle is not fair. that's fine. make the argument that the word is not racist, is not meant to be a dog whistle. >> but let's not be surprised. >> but no one should be surprised because this is how the president does that. you challenge that, he attacks you harder and that's what this press conference was all about. i feel threatened, therefore i'm going to threaten everybody here. >> when former democrat, then independent donald trump decided he was going to be a republican, how did he make his entry? barack obama is not a legitimate president. this has been calling card since day one. >> and he said "i'm a nationalist," h

obama, senator santorum?thety we're used to. >> that was remarkable restraint on the part of the president. if i was joe donnelly, i would not bring president obama to indiana. i'm not too sure that makes a whole lot of sense to me. the reality is that, you know, republicans have to count on the silent vote out there, that happened two years ago, shows up again. and if it does, this can actually be a pretty good night. a remarkably good night. just think about how, how much abuse this president has gotten over the last two years, how controversial -- >> and given. and given. >> and given. but the point is, this is the most controversial president i can ever remember. and yet, he may come out of this thing with a pick up in the senate, i think it's likely to pick up a seat or two in the senate. and he might even hold the house. and that's just remarkable. i don't know if it's going to happen -- >> even he was saying, on friday -- >> i said, he might. if those -- i'm saying, if the silent voter comes out. there

senator santorum. >> he didn't say hussein. >> oh, my gosh. >> there's that trump subtlety that we'rearkable restraint on the part of the president. i don't know why the president is -- if i was joe donnelly, i wouldn't bring president obama to indiana. i'm not sure that makes sense to me. the reality is that, you know, republicans have to count on that the silent vote out there that happened two years ago shows up again. and if it does, this could actually be a pretty good night. a remarkably good night. just think about how much abuse this president has gotten over the last two years. how controversial he has been. >> and given. >> and given. but the point is, this is the most controversial president i could ever remember. and yet, he may come out of this thing with a pickup in the senate, i think it's likely to pick up a seat or two in the senate. and he might even hold the house. and that's just remarkable. i mean, ient know if it's going to happen. >> he's going to hold -- >> i said he might. i said if the silent voter comes out, there are a lot of toss-up seats that could go the

i was in washington and working on a bunch of campaigns and worked on rick santorum's 2012 campaign and saw a little of this. working on the campaign, drops out. kind of a free agent. i think i'm going to be the president and people said you're out of your mind and i threw in and people were calling me you're going ruin your reputation, you've got a good reputation, what are you doing? >> i see something, i drive around pennsylvania and i've done a lot of campaigns and something like i've never seen before. people were showing up in the primary in pennsylvania, i'd go around to the polling places and people were coming in and saying this is the first time i've ever voted. they were excited the first time i've voted. >> from going from supporting santorum, i mean it's almost hard to think of two more different candidates. not true at all. no, because they're-- ments how do you reconcile it under republican. economic populism. you look at rick's books, rick didn't say it artfully. the president captured it and got it out there. there's this great-- the democrats abandoned the working clas

sanblican senator brownback, jc watts from , and other prominent republicans like rick santorum, ted stevens, and others came in mayr so that here, 2001, you had all of the top leadership in the republican and -- all of sides of them cosponsoring legislation to create a national museum of african american history and culture. you see john lewis with hillary clinton and senator john edwards, and congressman jc watts speaking and senator clinton and senator rick santorum. they will -- they were joking that they would never see this group assembled in favor of anything. they were all in favor of this museum. president bush is not at this press conference. he was a strong supporter of this. he dispatched vice president cheney, who was the president of the senate, to meet with the republic senators and tell them that president bush wants this to happen. and, to get behind it. i congratulated congressman john lewis at the end of that press conference, and i thought that this was a wrap. this is going to sail through. we have the support of the leadership, the president, we will have this m

former senator rick santorum has a theory he shared this weekend on cnn. >> if there was no climate changelot of scientists looking for work. a lot of the scientists are driven by the money they receive. they don't receive money from corporations because it's tainted but they can receive it from people who support their agenda. >> trevor: of course, how did we miss it? climate change is just a scam! it's a scam by scientists trying to get rich! we should have known when we saw them boiling in the gucci lab coats making it rain test tubes in the club. ow, ow, ow, ow! ( laughter ) after this report came out, american news was littered with climate change buffoons and one of my favorites is a woman nbc brought on to drop this gem. >> we need to recognize we just had two of the coldest years, p the biggest drop in global temperatures since we've had in the last hundred years. from the standpoint of those who have doubts about this, and i don't think we have any doubts there is climate change. i'm not a scientist, i look that as a citizen. >> trevor: once you say i'm not a scientist, why is any

byron has all those players between them like at a certain point like you know players like jane santorum said they got a lot to prove they got hungry they're coming out they're playing against by you know i have all the titles but they wanted it more than buying why. don't you take the fever you say the first half as well like jade and son show didn't really get a kick david out of but then something happened at half time i guess they. just gave you some confidence having you on then. and they i believe you know. everything that game i think was just the perfect it was the my it was the season in a microcosm but sorry i am i didn't know much about that you know are not on everything on the buy and prices coming up next we'll be talking about the clash of the german coaches' telco against. did you know kick off is now on you tube with the world of football. like you it was your that makes the world. we travel the world in the ring a few how high prices are running i'm going to say no this does make sense and never people call it so i discuss football chris here it's. important to do this

john edwards and then congressman jc watts speaking and you see senator clinton and senator rick santorum and they were joking that you'll never see this group assembled all in favor of anything, but they were all in favor of this museum. and president bush is not at this press conference, but he, behind the scenes, was a strong supporter of this, and he even dispatched vice president cheney, who, of course, as vice president was the president of the senate, to meet with the republican senators and tell them that president bush wants this to happen. and to get behind it. so, i congratulated congressman john lewis at the end of that press conference, and i thought, this is a wrap. this is going to sail right through. we've got the support of all of the leadership, both sides of the aisle, the president. we'll have this museum in a few months. silly me. and then september 11th happened. so, i guess just like that 1929 commission that was hit with the great depression, we were hit with this tragedy of the september 11th attacks, and of course congress and the president were then, of course,

senator santorum had double the amount of bills passed and senator specter had 30. senator heinz had 26. hour senator casey has four. in fact, the report card is so bad voted one of the least effective senators not once but twice. it's amazing to support the bill with another $12000 on top of the $15000 limit and then to put another 12000 belt. casey: it is interesting to see those numbers at least 45 bills that are enacted into law that have far-reaching effect. i asked that the congressman just between the two of us with the new administration and claims to work on a number of fronts but here we have legislation that i have passed and with grandparents who are raising a child of the opioid crisis but now that is the law of the land. that is signed into law. so in the recent past by president trump. >> and you respond to the question what you have done? . >> i have saved four. $4 billion in the private sector to shrink the federal footprint. but the proudest thing that i did bill who had a little girl that has cystic fibrosis and she was going to be denied a lung t

. >> when the bizarre and suspicious racial calls were in florida, rick santorum immediately denounced them. as they should. >>> back in 2016, the media tried to paint trump as he wasn't going to be accepting any of the results of the election. >> are you saying you are not -- >> what i'm saying is that i'll tell you at the time, i'll keep you in suspend. laura: hillary responded like this. >> that's horrifying. every time donald thinks things are not going this his direction, he claims whatever it is is rigged against him. that's not the way our democracy works. he's talking down our democracy. laura: talking down our democracy. the media echoed hillary outraged that trump would challenge the legitimacy of an election won fair and square. all of the moral outrage was exposed when trump won in 2016. suddenly the represent ative democracy wasn't so representative after all. >> i wanted to eliminate the electoral college and ensure the candidate that wins the most votes will be elected president. >> heck of the way the framers set it up. what's the suspension that we lost. republicans, e

that the latitude where they consent say it some future date or at least behind the scenes between santorum and say what you have a little reshuffle and then we'll continue to be friends i mean there was a suggestion in a report which is today that members of saudi arabia's ruling family are are moving to try and sideline the crown prince what could make of all that i found the reuters reported bit. you know not wonderful not not not not great not was written i don't know whoever written the order of war did not does not know a lot about their work in the saudi royal family but be that as it may there's certainly. an ease in saudi arabia up but the future of the family and the stability of the kingdom and yes there must be all sorts of questions asked debated within the royal family about where do we go next because the crown prince has put us in deep trouble and saudi arabia now is weaker is is under pressure more than ever before in its recent history that's one too that i think in the end of the day it's clear that the american president did not render the crown prince innocent but he di

rick santorum is nodding his head. >> good for them. >> good for them? at least you're transparent about it. >> it's a report generated by people in the bureaucracy. these are not trump appointees. this report has been generated by -- >> meaning they're nonpolitical? >> no. the point that donald trump made is true which is, look, if there was no climate change we would have a lot of scientists looking for work. the reality is that a lot of these scientists are driven by the money that they receive. of course, they don't receive money from corporations and the like. why? they're not allowed to. because it's tainted but they can receive it from people who support their agenda and that's what i believe is really going on here. no one doubts that the climate has changed. the question is how much does man contribute, number one? number two, what can man do to actually change it? those are the two big issues that we really don't talk about. >> let me just say that on the world stage -- we look at it from a global level. scientist after scientist after scientis

bicarry sellers and rick santorum. bakari, what do you say? >> crooked ivanka.ese things are things we heard about throughout the entire campaign. right now, it's hypocrisy showing its ugly head. republicans didn't care about hillary clinton's e-mails. they wanted to persecute her, chanting lock her up, lock her up. it was good and red meat for the base. they didn't care. now you have ivanka doing the same thing and we're going to hear complete silence. she's a high ranking -- although his daughter, a high ranking official who has a security clearance. if we're going to have an fbi investigation for hillary clinton, we need an investigation for ivanka trump. i think the saying is what's good for the goose is good for the gander. i am tired of the hypocrisy. the american people are tired of the hypocrisy. we're going to chant lock her up and investigate her from here until the cows come home or we just say that we were hypocritical and hillary clinton's matter was not that serious. >> i hope nobody chants that. it showed a disrespect for the process. what about t

senator santorum, you're watching congressman swalwell there. with he says whitaker is compromised because he was the treasure for campaign chair clovis, that's just absurd. >> even the assertion that he's prejudged the case, the reality is he was a pundit on this network and he made comments that, you know, he did as a private citizen making punditry comments. >> before he'd actually seen document asian. >> is punditry a word? >> it is. we break ground here on anderson cooper. that's it, i'm done. no, he's now in a role where he has a responsibility, if you look at the way he behaved in the attorney general's office, he's going to do what the president, you know, says with respect to being attorney general except as you heard from lindsey graham with respect to the mueller investigation. i think lindsey's going to be the chairman of the judiciary committee, he's sat down and talked with him. i know matt whitaker, and he's going to do the job. he's not going to inject himself into the middle of the mueller probe. >> the job is to stop the muelle

. >> senator santorum, you heard senator flake saying he wanted a vote to protect the special counseldo you think it deserves a vote? >> no. it's never going to be law. i don't want the game. he's holding up judicial nominations which are important for a bill that is never going to become law. to get a vote on it? >> you say never become law because the president isn't going to sign it. >> and there isn't enough to override the president's veto. this is him thinking he's running for president in 2020. what he's doing is just really harming the ability for these judges who deserve to get on the court. we have shortages on the court, and he's blocking nominations for no good reason. >> the flip side of that -- you know, we had mitch mcconnell saying the president isn't going to fire robert mueller. and this is a problem -- a solution in search of a problem. >> then pass the bill. >> that's the flip side. >> you can say if it's not going to be an issue, just pass the bill and sign it. i mean, what's the problem if he's not -- >> there's constitutional questions as to whether this is some

them, can i happily say, david chelian, david axelrod, jennifer granholm and van jones and rick santorumd, what do you make, the president obama that you see there, are you surprised to see him kind of out as i don't know as aggressively is the right word but energetically? >> well, you know, he -- he has been unpressure for a long time. a lot of people wanted him out there. his feeling was other democrats have to step up and that he sucks all the oxygen out of the tank when he tries to assume that mantle. b, he didn't want to be in a long term kind of back and forth with trump, but now that we're here i think that his belief is that voter mobilization is the key and that he can be helpful in some of these close races by spurring people to the polls. ive think that's why joe donnelly wanted him over in lake county in gary today to campaign, and so i -- i feel like he is answering the call and trying to balance, you know, prudence with his responsibilities as a party leader. >> i mean, one of the things when he was president, i wanted him to go out there and be that big movement leader, a

. - santorum projectconfidence on twin triumphs. - game on. - i'm asking for your vote because of yuerative v - this campaign is about saving the soul of america. governor romney doesn't represent profound change. u have a problem with allowing someone to finish spea--speaking. - there's a lot more conversation that these canvedates need to ha - just an handful of vot separate them. - i have come to the conclusion that there is no viable path forward for me. - at some point, the guy or the gal who can persevere through the pain of a primary election is the one who wins. [cheers and applause] - to newt gingrich, who'd been the speaker of the house, very effective debater and , he ooked like he was gonna become . - gingrich is going after him, and he's hitting him hard about being wealthy, and romney lets loose in a moment of candor. - speaker, you've indicated that somehow, i don't earn that mone i--i--i have earned the money that i have. i didn't inherit it. i'm proud of being in the fr-enterprise system that creates jobs for other people. - and the place exploded - what you've accompl

. >> but to the point that senator santorum made before, isn't there a danger for democrats that they just see this as payback opportunity and spend -- they blow a lot of capital and turn a lot of people off? >> i think there is the danger of going overboard. there's no question about it. but there's also a responsibility to play an oversight role. and they have to find -- they have to find the right tone, the sweet spot, and so on. they also have agencies beyond this issue which is going to take up a lot of space. but what is the epa doing? what are the relationships between that agency and some of the industries that are involved? in every area there are things going on that have just been unexamined that i think are properly subjects for congress to examine. >> a historic shift in congress. democrats taking control of the house as we've been discussing. while republicans hold of course on to the senate. stay with us as we follow the outstanding races. there are still votes being counted that will decide the final balance of power and new projections ahead. oh good, you're awake! fi

were thinking that black panther the movie was all they could it be for people of africa and the santorum black are people that are black but everybody from a variety of cultures love that movie like i remember seeing at my almost started around dance in the theater so i saw a lot of my own culture in that movie and like the importance of our own stuff and so i believe that any level i at any representation for any group that isn't just a default caucasian gays like something that we all love i mean people that just because the picture is one of a time because the high flying is what they are now it's over to people who so talented in the futuristic. jeffrey and sun will thank you for being part of the stream today thank you rick if you will in on you tube in january who says there are so many superheroes in our communities that our own song and comics are how we hope for youth to imagine new heroes from a cultural base thank you say once for watching we will see you next time take everybody. december on al-jazeera. from hospitality to hostility toward hotels tells dramatic stories about

to viewers the impact of democrats taking control of the house if they are going to, as senator santorum says, play a hand too much and start all sorts of investigations. what kind of an impact, what -- sarah sanders tonight said it was a good night for the president. >> there was enough for him to grab on to as abby said, the senate races that were won in florida being a big prize. he canning feel good about that. he shouldn't feel good. i know rick and i have had a discussion about this before. he may feel good tonight about losing the house and losing it by a fairly significant number. he's not going to feel good about it down the line because i can tell you from being in the white house, and watching the party, your party lose the house and lose the congress, it really changes life in the white house because you're constantly under scrutiny it, subpoenas fly. and it, you know, you have to play defense in a way that you didn't have to play defense before. so he thinks of this all as kind of a reality show and he can position himself versus the democrats and hope for overreach and so o

rick santorum in 2012. professor taylor. ( darya ) and coming up in the next half hour...ak to a mother here in the bay area that went into labor in the middle of a traffic jam and had to take things into her own hands... literally. ( darya ) and after the break... police on the peninsula are asking people to be on the lookout for a prowler who has already broken into several homes. john ) and i am tracking your bay area forecast. (ácommercialá)(áábreakáá) (áábreakáá)(ácommercialá) i'm dianne feinstein and i approve this message. "look what she's accomplished... she authored the ban on assault weapons... pushed the desert protection act through congress, and steered billions of federal dollars to california projects such as subway construction and wildfire restoration." "she... played an important role in fighting off ...trump's efforts to kill the affordable care act." california news papers endorse dianne feinstein for us senate. california values senator dianne feinstein to be on the lookout for the man caught on camera ringing doorbells in a daly city neighborhood. pol

rick santorum said. other people questioned the research.3 federal agencies and department that got together to put out this climate assessment and said this is a massive problem. let's work together to figure out how to slow it down or stop it. >> within the government itself you have very smart policy people, scientists and others who are doing the study, who are doing the work and trying to lay down the tracks for future administrations, not just the current administration to get ahead of this particular climate issue. the problem they are going to have is the current administration, this is anathema to. they don't buy the science or the policy. so, again, the eyes shift to congress. if you have members of congress already who are willing to come out and sort of saying this is crazy left wing science fiction, then what we're going to see is the situation get worse. i don't see a political solution any time in this administration. certainly not coming off the hill as long as the president has the position he has. so, you know, the scientis
