strong head winds. >> i am sanda smith. edge is begin to the republicans. 37 percent would prefer republicans in charge. and chris host of power play. typically democrats have a edge. and when republicans ran the poll. it is typically republicans who don't fare as well. but when they do, that is portending better at the voting both. >> democrats have rocks in their jaws bad. and so they are hitting hot button issues.

here's what we know. any given republican votes more frequently than the temdems. the republicans are more reliable voters and when you get to the election. if you get a good climate for the republicans, largely because of obama care and other issues. that is meaning that it is better to advantage. but the republicans have to be tied in order to win in november. it is a pig change from the democrats. that is a swing in four months. what changed? >> the president managed to get a reset on obama care and said hang with me longer. but the more and more people interact with this law.

they are liking it less. not only the website but how the law works and people are not happy about the condition of the economy and difficulties on foreign policy. the democrat brand is in retreat and nothing that suggest that is going to change. >> you have democrats in the senate and that is where all of the actions. and now a suggestion that the vulnerability democrats are getting more air time. what does that mean? >> it is true. and there is two approaches, one that the president likes from nancy pelosi. there is nothing wrong with obama care that can't be fixed and we like it and running on the line and now talk about women's pay and equality. team obama likes that one. harry reid has a different plan and his is going to let

vulnerable democrats air out the differences with the administration including harry reid needs to do it to give them cover, but that will open the dorfor republicans to talk about the replacement for the law and cause difficulty. >> and you mentioned nancy pelosi. thank you, chris. nice to see you. you bet. >> it is budget week on capitol hill. a busy weeks and after weeks of uncertaintity. house republicans said they are confident about the spending. and david asbin is joining us and david, it is sounding like the gop thinks that they have turned a corner and this will get passed in the house. >> paul ryan has a lot of experience butting budgets together. it is consoys. and the president came out with his budget a month ago.

and not surprisingly calling for more spending and paul ryan calls for 5 trillion less over a ten year period. and he hopes to balance the republicans. all they need is 217 of those republicans to vote for the budget and they have got. it the only cave at. some tea party republicans don't like the budget. it calls for maintaining all of the taxes for obama care for him to meet that budget resolution in step years of a balanced budget. a lot of tea party republicans don't want to defend obama taxes. >> and so the fiscal conservatives can cause a problem because they don't see the budget going far enough? >> it is possible. but republicans realize how

critical the midterm elections are in november. if they pass it is ryan budget. and the senate will not agree with. it but if they win the senate in november. what is going to have happen is a sea change. then the president would be forced to veto all of the bills and budgets coming to him from the combined republican senate and house and the democrats would be the presidential of no. republicans are the party are no they say. but if the president is mr. veto president. and that label could be applied to the democrats. there is one thing sandra, that could blow up the budget process. i don't like to use pie chart. >> you are looking at the way it is divided up. you are looking at mandatory and discretion. and interest payments.

we have it upon now. >> there are three essential parts. medicare and social security. they are man dated by law. and discretionary spending. 30 percent. that can be epy fiddled with. that could be upped and lowered and eliminated by congress. and look the at six percent. very small item. that is the interest on the federal debt. one of the reasons that is so small. it heens 234 billion a year. it would be more than that if and rates started to go up. we talk about it all of the time on the business channel. the federal reserve has kept the interest rates low. but by the way, it is also good for the politicians. if interest rates go up and that six percent because 7, 8, 9,

step percent of the federal budget everything blows up. >> and senate democrats started off extending the bill for the emergency unemployment benefits. >> and cantor, the majority head in the house said that is not going to happen. at least in the house that will not be extended. >> the debate starts tomorrow and it will be a heck of a week. >> very interesting. >> thank you. >> and tornado warnings and flash flood watches in affect for parts of the southeast and one twister touches down and heavy rain and obama hard hit and meteorologist, janoise dean looking at this. janice, what is happening. >> the pictures are heart breaking. it came overnight when people were sleeping. they were in the darkness with all of that damage and the flooding. over seven inches of rain for

said they want to sign the status and forces agreement that allow u.s. and nato remain. the numbers that the obama administration is talking about is small and i don't think with the military balance. open with u.s. forces do stay. and i think the taliban is biding its time and waiting for the resolution and then the now government comes under pressure. >> president bush stays out of national and international affairs. he said by casting ballots and participating in the young demacy. the afghan people are sending a clear message to the taliban and the world. >> it is optimistic statement. i think they will wait until the people's attention is turned elsewhere and they will renew their terrorist attacks.

but they are saying it is where they found the ming is 4500 meters. the working conditions for a black box is 4500 meters. could that be a constraint? >> it will be in the salvaging effort and finding it. but if they can get 1 or 2 more cuts. and lines of bearing to take the area of uncertainity down. it will do a under water search and come back up to the service and down load the information off like you would a hard drive. and if they find something that is aircraft debris. it will be replaced with a sonar

package and let it go down and the do the same thing. at some point, hopefully find the debris and black boxes and then use a vehicle with claws and hands to go down there tethered and bring it to the surface. >> what kind of time frame are we working with >> at least the black boxes are currented to operate 30 days. but the shelve life is a concern. it is long and the batteries in the black boxes. >> we'll complicate it one more layer. that is, there are reports from the original equipment manufacturer that said that those pingers in that particular character were due for maintenance and battery replacement. and malaysian airlines said that

it is not. maybe they replaced it with other black boxes. but according to the information that i've read. original equipment manufacturered we haven't seen them. and we may be really on the short end of the battiery life. >> and certainly more hope here and malaysian officials are cautiously hopeful and captain chuck nash. thank you for joining us this afternoon. >> my pleasure. >> the congress of the united states, and members are proud of what they have done and happy to not run away from what we have done. and very proud of what we accomplished. nhouse moirnity leader nancy peel pole explaining why most democrats will not run away from

good to see you. and i disagree withulars. there was no question that the roll out was a train wreck. but we are now starting to see 7 million enrolled and look at whether the real story is. mary landriu, it is a neck and neck race. and 10-15 points i couple of weeksing on. >> she jumped 15 points? >> that is correct. >> is that true. >> she was down 15 points. >> if that is true you will have a fight. >> is that true. >> i don't think it is thorough. i think richard is ignoring it is not only the roll out. a lot of young people signing up

for insurance assuming they were the upinsured and they will pay premiums and they are higher than i thought they would be. and the deductible is so high. and then when they try to find a doctor, doctors are running away from this. and the young or older person, i am paying a lot of money for a plan that doesn't cover much. and i can't find any doctors to take it. there is a lot of buyer adresource; >> now, richard will it happen that way. >> it is not true. and first, let's exmain the exchange for folks at home. a place to go in the private market. and blue cross, blue should. and aetna is a private market. and you get a plan, you can get

he had an expert on and he testified that it looks like reeva, it is in the possible when her last meal was. but it was 11:00. he said they went to bet at 10 o'clock p.m. it is good expert testimony and the emotion will not have the impact it would with the jury. >> a lot of the testimony was about what she had eaten and when. and what she was wearing. so far, on day one of the testimony. dow so. this is a different court system. he was able to stand up and apologize to her family before he becan ga. and what did it look like to you? >> when you don't have a jury. you are taking the emotional aspect out of play. i like the way you set it up. the first part of the testimony. and the reason i say that. he was emotional and apology

otherwised and vague. and so now comes crunch time. he will have to get more specific about what he contends happens and faced a withering examination. now does come crunch time and today was a fairly easy day. what does the defense need to do here? >> first of all. pistorias has no legs. and if he is a victim of a home invasion. he has one chance to defend himself and take out the bad guys and get the drop on the attacker. he's got to focus on a reasonable belief. and it was extraordinary when he was act being in defense. he figured he would have one chance to disable them. and he has to focus on the fact

that it was reasonable. >> and doug, you will have the left word. pistorias said i am scared to sheep and told nightmares. he even told the judge he was on medication. >> is it reasonable for a burglar to hard and lock themselves in the bathroom? no, that is totally unreasonable. and is it reasonable to fire shots into a room when you don't know who's in there, then claim that you're specifically defending a particular person, an lastly, is it reasonable if somebody goes to the bathroom at 3:00 in the morning to lock the door? absolutely not. >> david and doug, thank you. >> more tomorrow. the fbi discovering a sophisticated smuggling tunnel under the mexico/you had border. and mission accomplished. an unmanned spacecraft heading bag to earth after a job well done at the international space station. so what's it carrying? ♪
