6:31 pm
hi ronica. >> jim, shawn, exciting night for virginia. but the question is, do virginiaians think it's exciting. are they following it. do they care. harsh to put it like that. and the way politics are today especially with all of the attention on national politics and attention out of the white house, you zoo have to stop and ask the question, are people following these local races and they often don't get attention that they really should any jp way let alone at a time like this in american history. so the first things we ask people on the streets do you even though there's a debate tonight and i'll tell you just unscientifically about 50/50 whether or not people even now it was happening. and then we talked to them about why. is it the fact that president and this administration they take up a lot of headlines. maybe suck the oxygen out of the space for political head blinds other than those out of the white house. here's what people have to say. take a listen. >>ev

comes out of white house particularly by twitter and it's dominating every bit of news cycle. >> definitely white house all the tweets, everything else, yeah, totally over shadows it. >> i probably don't know enough about it to answer many questions about. it i'm losing interest in. it probably because a lot of things coming out of the white house. >> i'm following the race yes and i'm aware of democrat and republican and both running yeah it's very much on top of that. >> i'm interested. i think it's several things that was happening in professional sports people in their own little bubble. so i think it's several things that play a role in. it unfortunately what's going on in professional sports and everyone wants their own take on it as well as what's going on in the white house takes away from it. >> interesting point that that last j brought up about all of the headlines out of sports as well as white house. and

6:33 pm
i brought this up to you both before but i do recall in the primary just before primary day one of the candidates i won't name said he was hoping for a week where there would not be a huge headline out of the white house. so that the primary could get more attention, get morehead lines and get more coverage. so i'm not really surprised to see the results and sort of energy we felt on the streets today. because that really has continued with the white house getting a lot of attention into today's news. back to you, jim, shawn. >> it's one of those things. there will be a lot of people paying attention to this race ronica. if not here certainly around the country. >> thank you, ronica. >> as candidates prepare for the debate tonight. ralph north am leading republican challenger ed gillespie. >> and a close he can look here at the -- what are you laughing at. >> i have to smile you. >> like it. >> thanks so ch
6:34 pm
here cliff. >> great being here. >> let's look at numbers in virginia. right now lieutenant governor ralph north sham in the lead. >> northam has been in the lied since beginning of race. average of all polls together 17%. we have to always be careful we leared that. >> yes. >> he's -- we learned that well here. he's 7 points in lead and question is why? there's a number of reasons. obviously gillespie has to do some things during the debate to push numbers. first thing people relatively virginiaians relatively happy with the way the state is going and sitting governor is 50 plus in terms of approval rating higher than trump and good plays people think he's doing good job and two main issues healthcare and jobs and economy and that's traps late to northam. >> how much do you think they through on ref dumb and local issues. >> interests interesting. everything is looking as well weather.
6:35 pm
trump going at large and really it's about local issues and people are worried about education and they're worried about healthcare and jobs and economy and typically bread and butter issues. that's what they're focused on. obviously one level you want to get base out and energy guys base and both sides republican side trying to toener guys base through crime and immigration. that's to get people going and energized and big issues matter. what are those issues. bread and butter. >> you brought up a good point in last week i believe it was the president we heard ronica talk about this we weighed in when he sent out a tweet basically saying the democratic candidate was for immigration issues that were helping ms 13 and now seeing ads on tv doing the same thing. i know do you think that might affect this as we move closer and closer to election day could that be something? >> yeah at general level, no, it's to
6:36 pm
tim bally elections are low turnout. you have less than 45% of population going out and voting and those cases you want to get base out andener guys them and other side democratic side there's now adds out there about anti-abortion. and your right to choose. these are wedge issues used to drive the base. and that's what they're doing now and the only hope really for republicans is if it's very low turnout election and that group of republicans is highly halllien aregizing. >> we were talking about the virginia race and there's more going on too. what are other things you think people really paying close attention to these days. >> right now ffl. >> let's talk more about t that. hot button issues is do in and out dominating headlines and protests happening during the national anthem. yesterday mike pence walked out of colts game when members of 49ers took a knee during the anthem. he tweeted he left the game because he and president will not dig few any event that disrespect nrals

6:38 pm
you can show civil disobedience but not during the anthem. democrats see it as civil liberties and police brut brutalitysh uand they both think they're slul absolutely right. >> does it move the numbers. >> no we're seeing issue with nfl for nfl it does it hurts actually the brand. and they lost 10 point off the wrapped over the last two weeks or so. that typically will pop back up. when it comes to politics it's symptom of times. highly poll aizeed society and highly tribal place in politics right now and people see the world in very, very different ways. >> yeah with everything it seems like these days. >> everything. >> even nfl. >> cliff young it's a pleasure to you have. >> great being here. >> quick here cliff we'll let everybody know he's rooting for cubs. >> i'm sorry i'm from chicago. >> i would not have a problem ft. nats would. >> he said when he came in if the first time we had you face to face. >> i'm always in the house

6:40 pm
on the hill. this is what the parameters of deal basically will be. democrats here's democratic national convention ak protections: deferred action for childhood arrives dem crate said strongly they want to keep that in place. what the white house is essentially saying tonight is democrats you can have that daca protection extended however you need to give something back in return and that something will be full funding for border wall and big uptic in fumding for immigration enforcement and also some relaxation on the parameters of who gets tone force immigration law. they're going to want local jurisdictions to be able to enforce the laws and allow state jurisdictions to enforce these laws. and in all of this, they're also going to be looking at having verification systems for private employers that would basically determine whether or not one of your own employees is allow
6:41 pm
in the united states. and shocker here is this, democrats don't hike like this already today nancy pelosi and chuck shumer came ut and said this is in essence deal breaker. this is not a good sign you you were hopeing for bipartisan hug fest over daca protection and break through anymore grace reform. >> fits why do we go from here. what are democrats saying or suggests this is no go? what's next. >> what democrats are tell us shawn, tonight, this is about keeping your word. when the owe bomb aadministration put the daca program in place that was promise to 00,000 people brought here ill lilly have protection under the law. cover conservative hard liners say it is about keeping your word and president trump w weeping his worst. as we all spent the bet her half of two
6:42 pm
would pulled this wag. if there's going to be a break through here it's going to have to come from either side giving something to the area. that is how deals get done up here and how negotiations gets done. but right now it's a little hard to see how they break through insurance positions right now and come to an agreement. >> i'll it will you when the story came out about maybe some sort of deal on daca and democrats put the statement out and when you saw that when she came up late at night i thought to myself and a lot of people thought too why was this not done on we hold a press conference and have president and -- now here you go no deal. >> you're completely right about that, jim, it all seemed a little too eesy that night the email and this will all be a big surge what was realize of federal immigra

6:49 pm
people were assuming he was talking about the president's chief of staff not being there or somebody not being there to get a handle on everything the pred is doing. >> trumps tweets are noticeable in the viciousness of quarker and what's somewhat unique quarker fired back and fired back hard. he gave interview to the "new york times" saying that president trump surprise r risking world war iii. that he he is treating president dncy like reality tv show. to really this is going to be something that hurts president trump in terms of image. but rally in terms of legislation as well. there was talk of president trump decertifying iran nuclear deal this week and what that would do is kick sanctions back to congress's court and of course senator quarker is chairman. senate foreign relation's committee and trump's party
