that he was governor of a big state, one of the biggest in the country. he's going to focus on that record but he will not invoke his brother to an extent his father but not his brother's record in the white house. >> by the way are michael shure will join us at 3:00. michael thank you.is across seattle washington a group of activists have now been arrested trying to block the shell oil rig. the polar pioneer is heading up the coast. and dozens of protesters on kayaks swarmed the rig. at least 13 people have been arrested. tanya moseley tell us more about today's protest.
