menendez, charles schumer and harry reid. as for taking on the gop, listen to what representative peter welch told msnbc's lawrence o'donnell on "the last word." >> if the speaker, who now has the largest majority of republicans since herbert hoover, wants to act, show us the bill. he can act. what he's doing instead is complaining about obama. and his problem is not with obama. his problem is with his own conference. >> in a "usa today" poll, 46% say the president should act now, 42% want him to wait for the new congress. in alaska, senator mark bagich has finally conceded. he lost to republican dan sullivan, helping the gop gain control of the senate. in d.c., keystone opponents took their gripe to a new level. they put an inflatable pipeline in senator mary landrieu's yard. she's hoping a keystone bill can save her job. despite the 2016 chatter, wisconsin governor scott walker is not sure about running.

about it. so, in the end, probably some courts are going to decide this. >> well, you know, seems like both sides, the president and the republicans are very dug in on this. is there any kind of agreement out there anywhere? >> hmm, i don't see it. while i think some smart republican strategists say, hey, in the long run, we've got to find some kind of way to make peace on immigration reform. >> right. >> there's all that republican base that says, no! keep him away! don't let them be legal. so, i think boehner and mcconnell are in kind of a squeeze on this. i don't think they can afford to move very much. >> yeah, but that could lead to a ripple effect. how will this battle on immigration possibly derail a long-term spending bill, because there's, what, a deadline of december 11th, right? >> well, that's right, and there's a lot of sort of agitation among house members particularly, house republican members, who say if the president does something, we have to stand strong, even shutting the government. but boy, boehner, mcconnell, some of the leaders say that's going to bounce back at us and fly right in our faces. hey, we just won! why don't we try and actually

govern here? there's an idea. >> and don't forget, mcconnell said there will be no government shutdowns, remember? >> he has said that, but you know, those guys don't always have total control over their members. so, yeah, we're screeching right up to a deadline on it. keep an eye on obama's actions this week and that funding stuff in a couple weeks. >> feels like we've been here before, right? >> about 47 times, doesn't it? let's get a new dynamic, huh? we had a new election. >> let's get something done. thank you, ellis. just ahead, the fiery natural phenomenon that is the size of manhattan? plus, what is going on here? why driving on three wheels is not a good idea. time to be on verizon. one: verizon's the largest, most reliable 4g lte network in the country. that's right america. with xlte in over 400 markets. two: and here's something for families to get excited about. our best pricing ever! get 2 lines with an incredible 10gb of data to share for the low price of $110! or just $140 for a family of 4! and three: get $150 credit for every line you switch.
