congressman swierk and congressman van hollen. to you first, congressman schweikert. and said loud and clear about the grid lock. is there going to be less grid lock now. >> i do hope so because many of the voters actually were able to understand much of the grid lock may have been at the senate majority leader's desk. what will happen now if we actually go back to sort of normal ways of doing business, conference committees going back and forth. actually putting legislation on the president's desk for him sign or veto or kick back saying what he's willing to do. i may be optimistic butvó5tx looking for some normal movement of legislation at least an attempt of it. >> woodruff: congressman van hollen are you as optimistic. >> i'm an optimistic and i hope certainly we're able to move forward on these things. but dave mentioned the fact that there are all these bills in the senate for example that harry reid hadn't had a vote on.q2s but if you look at the house, there's a whole pile of bills that1which is interestingly last night saw strong public support for. so raisi

. >>> in a few moments i'll be joined by maryland democrat chris van hollen who has been pushing for climate legislation in the house. his thoughts on the challenge. i'll have that in a few moments. >>> i'm following a potentially dangerous weather alert right now. the arctic chill blasting the upper midwest and the rookies is spreading. this is the scene across michigan's upper peninsula with a heavy snow forcing several schools to close for the day. nbc meteorologist bill karins is tracking the storm. bill, good morning. >> good morning. >> where is this monster heading? >> this arctic outbreak and the big snowstorm. the arctic outbreak is left behind. snowstorm is gone, thankfully. we have our history making headline for the cold outbreak. we're at 25 degrees blow zero in casper, wyoming. going back to the 1930s when the records began to be kept there it's the coldest november temperature they've ever recorded. that's significant historical climate fact of how unusual this air mass is. in most part it's located over the northern rookies and spilling down into the central plains. t

listen to what maryland's chris van hollen tells chris hayes on "all in." how the speaker boehner is interested in maybe negotiating with the president was kind of dispelled. interpretation his members put on the election is not that we've got to work together to end the disfunction in washington but they have to stop barack obama at all costs >>well, hillary clinton is getting some 2016 presidential love. problem is, it's from germany. a newspaper calling her america's last hope. in louisiana tough news for senator mary landrieu. democrats yanked $2 million in ad money. >>> mixed returns for one of the democrat's biggest donors. millionaire environmental tom story. he pumped $57 million in the midterms. only three won. story's response at least climate change got into the political debate. >>> rick perry was in court facing abuse of power charges. day one was drama free perry just saying. >> i'm here to restate the lawful constitutional authority of a governor. >> a bipartisan group of lawmakers and the president will be lunching at the white house today.

we'll talk with newly elected democrat chris van hollen.possible for his party to rebound after this major loss? we'll discuss with him. your goals, our experience. your shoppers, our technology. your data, our insights. introducing synchrony financial, bringing new meaning to the word partnership. banking. loyalty. analytics. synchrony financial. engage with us. it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®,

>> i quite agree with chris van hollen. the fundamental issues facing most people in this country is the issue of the economy. the economy overall is improving. i think the president's actions early in his administration had a lot to do with breaking the fall that we were in, but most middle class families and people who are aspiring to become middle class are still struggling. wages have been flat. there's still a sense of insecurity and the democratic party ought to be the party and is, i think, the party that has ideas to address that. if democratic party doesn't run on those ideas and put them front and center and make this the state of the middle class in this country, the fundamental issue of 2016, they will find themselves in deep straits. >> indeed. we got to get that message out there and make it believable that something could actually be done. david axelrod, thank you so much. always great to get your analysis. >> good to be with you. >> republican leader john boehner will be holding his first news conference sin

congressman chris van hollen, always a pleasure. thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> throughout the current congress, speaker boehner has often appeared to be as much a follower of his caucus as its leader. today he was pressed about what the current members and the new additions of the ranks. >> you have a new crop of conservatives coming into the house who have suggested that women need to submit to the authority of their husbands, that hillary clinton is the antichrist, and that the families of sandy hook victims should just get over it. so the hell, no, caucuses, as you put it, is getting bigger. >> no, no, no. now, listen. i think the premise of your question, i would take exception to. yes, we have some new members who have made some statements. i'll give you that. but when you look at the vast majority of the new members that are coming in here, they're really solid members. >> yes, we've had some members that have made some statements, i'll give you that. by the way, it was congressman steve pierce who wrote in his memoir

i think that's fascinating van hollen floating that.i first heard that by axelrod on election night. it wasn't even over, him basically saying, look, let's have a vote and i won't do executive action. i think there's a thought about maybe you get that in in the lame duck, right, so everybody can sort of fall on their sword then and you start fresh and john boehner can get it out of the way. the idea of the base, we've got to to remember where the republican base is on this and they've been calling the shots and they've had a veto over the policy for the time bam has been in office, so the idea they would go for that. there's just no way they're going to let that happen, particularly in the wake of what they view as an election that absolutely validates their approach and ideology. >> yeah. it is a very difficult dilemma right now for the president. now, talk to me about 2016 because i think how important you do think the issue of immigration would be for a national election? >> so it seems to me that it will be massively important. and

tom price and kiss van hollen. that's all

joining me now is chris van hollen. thank you so much for joining us.be with you. >> and of course, congratulations on your re-election for your seventh term. >> thank you. >> i'm sure it's difficult to have congratulate you when you look at the landscape of the party over all. but just some of the post analysis. i want to dig into, first. our first read team asked did democrats give up on minimum wage too soon? you look at the minimum wage initiative on the ballots in red-leaning states arkansas, nebraska, south carolina. it seemed to be on the minds of voters. some see that, congressman, as another example where democrats could have picked up traction and dropped the ball. >> tamron, i believe that we lost the focus on the core economic issues. it wasn't totally as a result of taking our eye off the ball, it was partly as a result of the fact that you had all these other crises emerging that dominated the air waives in the last three or four weeks like isis or ebola. house democrats were focussed on this message all along. i think in the senate races

with us now democratic congressman from maryland ranking member of the budget committee, chris van hollenyou what happened across america but actually i could ask you what happened in the state of maryland. we won't do that. let's talk about the next two years. let's be optimistic. >> i want to know what happened. >> tell me and then you can answer mika. tell me why i'm right why things will get done in the next two years. how is that for a question. >> great. i think there's the potential to get some things done. i think there's a potential for negotiations between the senate and the president. the one thing i do continue to have concerns about, though, is that the dynamics in the house have not changed a lot. if you look back over a year ago, speaker boehner did not want to shut down the government. but he was pressured into doing that by some in his caucus and some in the senate caucus. so i don't doubt the fact that mitch mcconnell wants to try to work things out and the president wants to work things out. they have to get stuff through house to. joe you ended the last segment saying

. >>> congressman chris van hollen from maryland, a democrat just reelected. >> good morning, alisyn.ve been talking about. sounds like serve saying the words but at the same time the rhetoric remains the same. immigration reform, the president said this week if there's no movement on immigration reform by the end of the year, he will use the executive order to pass it and republicans have said that that is poisoning the well. where are you on this? >> well look, you asked whether it was going to be a food fight. i don't think any food will be flying. i think people will be well mannered but i think when it comes to the issues you're going to have a lot of tough positioning and negotiating. let's talk about immigration. the reality is that right now in the house of representatives we have a bipartisan comprehensive immigration bill that passed the united states senate and what the president has said to speaker bainer is simply have a vote on that, right? you can vote against it, speaker boehner but have a vote. let the democratic process work. and if the speaker continues to refuse to

chris van hollen is not because but he is going to be a ranking member on target. in the interest of time, we have a meeting, i associate myself with the remarks of chairman becerra in terms of the priorities. it is really important to continue the conversation about where we were when president obama was elected. the chairman of the fed said that if we did not act by monday, we would not have an economy. that is what he said in september of 2008. that was the state of our economy before president obama took office. when he took office, the deficit was one point $4 trillion. it is now under $500 billion. unemployment is under 6%. the market is over 17,000. we experienced 56 straight months of job creation. millions of people have health insurance. there is much more positive data. still, the american people feel uncertainty. they were scared by what happened in september of 2008. while the economy is improving, it has not reached the people that it needs to reach, the middle class. wages and salaries have not been comments or it with the progress that our economy i

chris van hollen will be the ranking member committee on budget. in the interest of time, because we came in ate ll later and have a meeting shortly, i associate myself with the remarks of our distinguished chairman mr. besear rah in terms of the priorities and recognition of a job that needs to be done for the american people. i would just say this. that in the campaigns which did not -- we didn't like the outcome, let's say it that way, but it's really important to continue the conversation about where we were when president obama took office. we're at a place where the chairman of the fed said if we don't act by monday we will not -- tonight, we will not have an economy by monday. that's what he said in september, 2008. that was the state of our economy before president obama took office. when he took office, the deficit was $1.4 trillion, it's now under $500 billion. the unemployment was approaching 10%, it's under 6%. the market was around 7,000, now it's over 17,000. we've had experience -- we've experienced 56 straight months of job creation

some of the names i'm hearing is chris van hollen.hink has been there. you have done some great reporting on how -- >> joe crowley from queens, new york. there's another show right there. >> caught up in that leadership battle and john larsen is there, as well. you know, it's hard to know, a lot of young democrats who kind of want this and there are a lot of democratic recruits in recent elections that have just gotten wiped out and have not been able to win because the house is such a difficult map for democrats in general. >> with pelosi, too, you wonder at a certain point the democrats their best bet in 2014 was not to win the house, but to do well enough in 2016 if hillary had a good performance maybe on her coattails could take it back. that doesn't look like that is going to happen. if you're pelosi, i'll be in the minority. how long do you want to stay minority leader? >> she's been majority leader, minority leader and has to be frustrating because so little power for the minority party in the house. even if hillary is the nomi
