oregon is a democratic health state, watch that one, the democrats feel okay right now.me other ones is a great competitive race in iowa, a great competitive race in colorado, democrats feel reasonably good about virginia. this say republican health seat. mitch mcconnell the republican leader, alan grants his democratic challenger a red state, they haven't sent a democrat to the senate since 1992 yet manu, alison grimes calls on help from the massachusetts liberal elizabeth warren this week. how does elizabeth help in a reliably red state? >> it's motivating the base. she speaks to the younger voters, the people that alison grimes needs to get out to the polls. this state overwhelmingly rejected barack obama last year and even though this is conservative state, this is the majority democratic registration state. there's still a lot of democratic voters in pockets like louisville and lexington, where elizabeth warren does speak to the crowd and she speaks to younger voters, people she can talk about populist issues, railing against the big banks, things that are not super

it's much more powerful when a democrat does it about a democratic president. today, we learned that republican texas senator john cornyn and democratic congressman henry cuellar are now prepared to release a bipartisan, bicameral bill to deal with the current border cry us. a bipartisan proposal being introduced in congress tomorrow. the bill would essentially rewrite the current 2008 george w. bush law so that minors from central american countries can be treated like those from mexico and canada. they can be deported more quickly. under the plan, unaccompanied minors from any country would be able to have an immigration court hearing within seven days of their processing by health and human services and an immigration judge would be required to rule on their case within three days. while it appears the mip strags isn't totally against this bill, they have jet to officially get behind it. many democrats, including the hispanic caucus have indicated they don't have plans to support the legislation. now, we asked congressman cuellar to come on the show tonight,

but here's the problem for democrats. states that didn't look competitive for the gop six months ago are now real barn burners. some of the states in this blue state battle grounds, new hampshire, oregon, even virginia, still heavily favor the democrats, but you never know. six months ago iowa's bruce braley looked like the favorite but on friday he quietly shook up his campaign team a month ago under pressure from national democrats. it's just the latest blow to a campaign filled with a string of unforced errors by the candidate. even democrats who are running ahead, like mark warner, are clearly nervous about this political environment. that was clear from his surprisingly aggressive debate performance in the campaign's first debate with ed gillespie on saturday. >> he spent his entire career as a d.c. lobbyist and a partisan operative. he views every issue through the lens of republicans versus democrats. he even went on tv and called himself a partisan warrior. his words, not mine. >> if senator warner had been the se

mark begch, democrat. mark pryor, democrat. mark udall, democrat. mary landrieu, democrat . cay hagen, democrat. mitch mcconnell, republican. all vulnerable. there are also five states where there are open senate seats and two long shot races with vulnerable democrats. that makes 14 potentially competitive races with democrats on the defensive in most of them. compounding democrats' problem is this, says diagnostician barack obama, quote, democrats have a congenital defect when it comes to our politics, and that is we like voting during presidential years. and during midterms, we don't vote. and so you already have lower voting totals during the midterm and it's our folks that stay at home. question, is a gop senate takeover inevitable? >> i don't think it's inevitable. i think it looks like it's a very real possibility at this point, john. but what we have to remember is that as bad as things look for the democrats, as easy as it has become to criticize the democratic leadership in the executive, the republicans nationally have not really rallied around or together in a spe

the democratic base isn't fired up? you can bet elizabeth warren is ready. >> she seemed to be indicting your boss. what's wrong? washington doesn't work. >> you got me. >> sorry, obama. in the "crossfire," former governor bill richardson, who ran for the 2008 democratic presidential nomination. and former minnesota governor tim pawlenty who ran for the 2012 republican nomination. governor richardson, i think elizabeth warren proves, i have been saying for awhile now her problem is going to be she doesn't speak progressive and she doesn't speak millennial. are you concerned hillary clinton might be able to connect if she runs? >> i think she's very strong. i have seen her with democratic audiences. i have seen her latest stump speech. it's very strong. but if you're contemplating a run against her, she is a centrist. so somebody like elizabeth warren could beat her, but could mount a very strong campaign on this income inequality issue and especially in the early primaries. tim and i know, iowa with the democrats is far

we cannot afford to forget our democratic history. sla political scientist put it, a people's to measure the political freedom. and this greatest leader truly great, only when we the lives of laborers in the four freedoms slowly really appreciate why we turn to them as we do and begin to honor them as we should. only then will we are who we are. only then will we heard that the only way, the only way to truly sustain american democratic life is to enhance it. and only then might we choose save this nation a making it once again as fdr said, fairly radical for a generation. thank you. [applause] >> i am told that there are questions. i am told her microphone if you want to stand up and ask a question to go to the microphone so the recording can take you out. >> welcome ce. leaving green i had to be a treat. >> absolutely. football season. >> as i sat here in muslim and try to keep his seat belt on, i thought of a couple things. let me remind you of the monument to the chinese internment, which occurred during the roosevelt era. my broa

the democratic party are sad your free exercise of religion rights have no place in a democratic than it. catholic airships went on to say if in the future the executive branch shows to add the abortion pill for 86 or even elective surgical abortion, including late-term abortion to the list of preventative services, those who object to providing our purchasing such coverage would appear to have no recourse. mr. president, think about that for a second here to catholic bishop has said the bill this body is getting ready to vote on, if passed, would enable the federal government to try to force catholic nuns to pay for it carryout partial-birth abortion. that's staggering. you want to talk about mainstream position, their mainstream positions, far left in an extreme radical fringe, which is the federal government forcing catholic nuns to pay for partial-birth abortions. and that is where virtually every senate democrat is today. under the legislation before this body come in the catholic university, abbÉ maria, would be forced to make the same church -- same choice, authorized abortion

democrats, democrats have a real plan to get things done. and if we have the majority in january, as i fully expect us to have, we will be introducing the 21st century make it in america act. i really garbled that, didn't i? >> say it again, say it again. >> we're going to introduce the 21st century make it in america act. [cheers and applause] they knew i could do it. americans are tired of a republican do-nothing and do-bad-things congress focused on simply partisan divisions. they want a congress that helps everyone make it in america. and jump starts the middle class. now i want to introduce my colleague, a real leader in the democratic party, and in this country, my friend, the congressman from south carolina, and the assistant leader of our party, jim clyburn. >> thank you, thank you very much. mr. whip, thank you, mr. chairman, mr. chairman. thanks to all my distinguished colleagues. i'm pleased to join the house democrats today to unveil our 100-day action agenda. house republicans have stacked the deck for the wealthiest few at the

but the thing is, the democratic base, that same democratic base that martin o'malley from maryland is trying to appeal to, that base -- now we find out hates the idea of changing the 2008 law, they've been pretty out front about it last week, very publicly opposing that idea. and apparently pelosi heard that base, she decided to reverse course. she came out saying she would not back changes to the 2008 law, she would oppose them. in an interview with the new york times, she spoke with cuellar, i think the bill that was introduced is exactly the wrong way to go. the only immigration bill we're going to have, is one that hurts children. the top democrat in the house is now against the cornyn/cuellar proposal. the president met with the hispanic caucus. they're united against it because one of their members happens to be henry cuellar. we are quickly learning where most everyone in the democratic party stands on this new proposal other than the white house, though. we have heard from unnamed sources in the white house, we have not officially heard from them whether or not they will back

democrat from new york.hank you for being here. >> thanks for having me, rev. >> congressman, so many americans are working full-time jobs and they are living in poverty. why should republicans be against this? >> there is absolutely no legitimate basis for republicans -- that's unfortunate. at a moment in american history now where corporate profits are way up. you've got the stock market that's way up. c.e.o. compensation is way up. middle class wages have remained stagnant. there are americans working hard every day, 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year yet they are living in poverty at the end of the day because $7.25 per hour is inadequate to support a family and to live a dekreent way. >> you know, the democrats are showing how hard it is with photos posted on twitter from this week so far. former governor ted strickland could barely afford a lunch from mcdonald's. at one point he had celery sticks for dinner. congressman tim ryan showed exactly what just $77 a week to feed your family or oh feed yours

they could probably run as a democrat because democrats generally feel the middle class and the littles getting screwed. all republicans do not feel that way. >> let me ask you, robert. you're covering the campaign grows. this is tied up with the anti-war movement. it's connected. this is populist middle america, the plains states, the middle west. if this is growing mood with the tax breaks and all the advantages they generally and having the money, how does jeb bush win who inherited his position in life? how about mitt romney who inherited his position in life? how does chris christie who represented new jersey, right near new york. how do they have the prayer if the party turns populist? >> i'm not sure, chris. i think if populism continues to grow we'll see candidates like jeb bush struggle in republican primaries and maybe hillary clinton struggle in democratic primaries. i was in west virginia yesterday. this populism, this ability of elizabeth warren to connect with working class voters of west virginia was real. there were 400 people in the room. >> tell me. what do you think

with rfra, a democratic congress and a democratic president, in cooperation with republican minorities in both houses, declared that when the federal government seeks to infringe on americans' religious liberty, it must clear two thresholds. first, it must show that the law in question serves a compelling state interest. second, if it does, the law must do so by the least restrictive means possible. given that the government openly acknowledged that there were a significant number of far less intrusive means to ensure affordable access to the drugs at issue, the supreme court rightly ruled that the contraception mandate violated rfra. however unwarranted, the overheated response to the hobby lobby decision among some ideological extremists on the left has led some of my colleagues to introduce a bill that would not simply overturn that modest and narrow decision but fundamentally rewrite america's social contract as it pertains to matters of personal conscience. whereas the court's ruling was limited to closely held for-profit companies like hobby lobby, this bill would empower the fed

there was pretty good democratic support. the only big bush thing that didn't get a lot of democratic support was medicare reform of 2003. but other than that, democratic support for bush was about a third. something like that on capitol hill. republican support for obama on his major things, 5%. 2%. it is nothing. this is not new. this goes back to 2009. very first week of the administration, the stimulus bill. so it is something that has been a constant for six years. believe you me, remaining a constant for the next two and a half years. >> i remember, and i think you were with us on this in the country, at ground zero after 9/11, everyone wasn't running around saying, i hate bush, he let this happen. everyone's first response was, let's see what we can do to deal with it situation. totally different reaction in the first instance. every time obama tries something, in the first instance, it is kill obama. >> i remember, you and i, chris, were critics of the war before the war. once the war started, hoping that it would suc

democrats in my part of the country took a while. >> i wouldn't let the democrats off easy. the 1964 civil rights bill. the most important thing done by congress in our lifetime. overwhelmingly for it. the democrats had a lot of people against it. anyway. i don't have the numbers here. >> look, those democrats were dixiecrats who were against desegregation. >> 27 of 33 republicans, all but 6 voted for the civil rights act. >> kennedy and johnson had to work hard to get the legislation passed. it was never a done deal. >> what happened to the republican party in the north that was all for civil rights? >> it was taken over by the loudest, most racist elements of the pear. when reagan talked the same language as george wallace about believing in states rights, i think just about at that time they forfeited the african-american vote. >> or the young buck using food stamps for vodka or gin. if that ever happened it was in reader's digest somewhere. >> the southern strategy made the republican party the refuge for die hard racists and segregationists. that's where they went. >> s

more than one out of four democrats do, too.an the partisans and the applications they support come together to solve problems? the numbers point to why this is so tough. the majority of partisans believe their side should get the better end of the deal. it's the opposite of compromise. it's called gridlock. >> a country that's making it tough for make a deal. joining us for that conversation michael dimmick, the lead author of the new pew study. alan bromow iwiz. author. and political science at stanford university and author of "culture war, the myth of a polarized america." we heard the president say, and the quote is our country is not as divided as our politics suggest. >> was i right? >> the majority of americans are not caught up in this kind of ideological, straight-line thinking. that's the view or the perspective of a minority of americans, but it is a growing minority, and a very vocal minority of the american public. when you layer on top of that the partisan antipathy, the us creates these logjams that become proble

because i haven't seen democrats propose a bill like that. the senate democrats did not. they didn't introduce a bill that did anything to change the '08 law last night. >> no, they didn't. they also cut a billion dollars from the president's request. let them move forward. the senate has sent stuff to us before, which we've had to fix, so let the senate go ahead and do what they're going to do. >> you want the senate to go first? >> not necessarily. the last time we asked the senate to go first, it messed up the deal back when i was majority whip. we had all the votes in the house to do it, but because the senate couldn't get its act together, our deal fell apart. so they don't have to go first. we can look at the legislation, we can put whatever money figure we want to put on it, we can take the mccall-thompson amendment and really move something to the floor of the house that i would gladly be a part of. >> are you guys really going to go home without doing this bill? are you really going to go home without doing va reform? is that really going to happen this year? you

the corporate wing of the democratic party has dominated democratic politics for most of the past two decades but now things are changing and they're changing fast over the past couple of years the progressive wing of the democratic party has made a huge comeback all across the country led by people like elizabeth warren and sure brown it's taking the corporate wing of the democratic party to task and in the process has put issues like raising the federal minimum wage protecting the social safety net and cracking down on wall street banks toure's back into the bright lights of the political mainstream one of the other big issues that's driving this progressive surge is the emerging consensus that a maryland america needs to legalize marijuana and thus end nixon's drug war this push got a huge boost this weekend when the new york times editorial board essentially the unofficial mouthpiece of the establishment came out in favor of legalizing marijuana at a federal level the times said there are no perfect answers to to people's legitimate concerns about marijuana use but neither are the

and democrats smell blood. they see an opportunity to totally somehow rally the democratic base in a way that they haven't been able to do. >> you have set it up, we're going to talk about it in a bit and whether it's no immigration, potentially nothing on the border. the state of d.c. gridlock we've been talking about since 2011. we have great washington people here and we'll try to diagnose it and what could cure the gridlocks and talk about it, when we come back. for my frequent heartburn. because it gives me... zero heartburn! prilosec otc. the number 1 doctor-recommended frequent heartburn medicine for 9 straight years. >>you can't beat zero heartburn. prilosec otc. one pill each morning. 24 hours. zero heartburn. in the nation, the safest feature in your car is you. add vanishing deductible from nationwide insurance and get $100 off for every year of safe driving. which for you, shouldn't be a problem. just another way we put members first, because we don't have shareholders. join the nation. nationwide i

you know, i wish david vitter were a democrat. i wish he were a liberal democrat. i wish he were russian feingold because then i would defend him every bit as zealously as i'm defending not what david vitter did but his right to be unbothered by the rest of us for something that's none of our business. >> listen. senator wants to go see a hooker, come on. one out of every three women in your average louisiana restaurant is for sale. it's like double parking. who among us has not paid a hooker for sex while serving in the united states senate? can't these people solicit hookers in peace without us bothering them? and embarrassing them? so mr. carlson, that's when he was here on msnbc. he made a big point of how it is no big deal to see a hooker if you are a u.s. senator. and he said he felt that way not just because david vitter was a republican senator when he was seeing hookers, he said he would feel that way even about democratic senators seeing hookers. in fact, he wished david vitter was a democratic senator so he could make that point more clearly. it's none o

leaders in the kra democratic party and also the political leadership of the cra democratic party. so my parents, my mom, for example, she's an immigrant from trinidad. she is a public sector worker. she is not ready to break from the democratic party. she knows there is a lesser evil. and in her lie, it makes every bit of difference. but for, as a whole, she hasn't change her views. she was against welfare reform. she was against all these things. but the leadership of the democratic party drifted in different directions. so at the moment there are almosts of the democratic party that are better on the issues. you can't lump in john conyers with barack obama. but at the end of the line, they're still linked with the democratic party. it has no structural tie to these people in their tents. so it's a loose relationship and a relationship where the democrats will if left to their own devices always move right. it's a really difficult to keep up the pressure constantly, especially with a globalized economy and the defeat of those political movements as we discussed before. >> you hit

every national democrat.ed with the national democratic party. and yet, here are these two democratic senate candidates inviting into their states in full public view a woman who emerged as a hero to the progressive base of the national democratic party. conventional wisdom would say elizabeth warren is about the last person a democratic stat candidate in a red state would want to be identified with. warren helped tennant and grimes bring in badly needed money, more than $200,000 for grimes last month. these candidates are saying there is something about warren's message, the same message that gets heads nodding in the most liberal pockets in america that resonates in deeply red rural america. that said, it can be a fine line to walk. just before warren's visit, natalie tennant told a reporter she would stand up for elizabeth warren on the issue of coal. this is a web video that karl rove's pact american crossroads released this week. >> you built a factory out there, good for you. you take a hunk of that and

if they don't raise money for democrats, they are going to get whacked by democrats on the hill for notaising money for them. one of the things the president can do is raise a ton of money from the big donors who want to drop 32 grand to come and have face time with the president. that's what he's been doing aggressively this year. you are not hearing criticism from the democrats. they want that money. >> if you don't raise money, we won't, either. they leave that part out. sit tight. tomorrow's news is today. we'll share nuggets and get you out ahead of the political news. uh-huh there's good more... honey, look at all these smart rewards points verizon just gave me. ooh, you got a buddy. i'm like a statue. i just signed up and, boom, all these points. ...and there's not-so-good more. you're a big guy... oh no. get the good more with verizon smart rewards and rack up points to use towards the things you really want. now get 50% off all new smartphones. let that phrase sit with you for a second. unlimited. as in, no limits on your hard-earned cash back. as in no more dealing with those

for democrats trying to hang on to their majority. first here's what our fox affiliates are covering. miami a successful emergency landing for a small plane on miami beach this afternoon. beach goers were stunned but no one was hurt. meanwhile a 9-year-old girl injured during another beach landing sunday near sarasota died today. fox 25 in boston with the return home of a whale watching boat after an unscheduled night at sea. the boat's propeller became entangled in a cable. the passengers were stuck. boat made port just after 7:30 this morning. this is a live look at minnesota from fox 9 in the twin cities. big story there a victory for former minnesota governor, jesse ventura. he was awarded a $1.8 million judgment in a liable lawsuit against the estate of a deceased navy s.e.a.l. who said he decked ventura in a bar fight in 2006. that's a look from outside the beltway on "special report." we'll be right back. s in new york state, we're changing the way we do business, with startup ny. we've created tax free zones throughout the sta

democrats, democrats have a real plan to get things done. and if we have the majority in january, as i fully expect us to have, we will be introducing the 21st century make it in america act. i really garbled that, didn't i? >> say it again, say it again. >> we're going to introduce the 21st century make it in america act. [cheers and applause] they knew i could do it. americans are tired of a republican do-nothing and do-bad-things congress focused on simply partisan divisions. they want a congress that helps everyone make it in america. and jump starts the middle class. now i want to introduce my colleague, a real leader in the democratic party, and in this country, my friend, the congressman from south carolina, and the assistant leader of our party, jim clyburn. >> thank you, thank you very much. mr. whip, thank you, mr. chairman, mr. chairman. thanks to all my distinguished colleagues. i'm pleased to join the house democrats today to unveil our 100-day action agenda. house republicans have stacked the deck for the wealthiest few at the

the democrats are a top progress. these democrats are in real trouble. it's is an ambitious goal.how to get the job for drupal. we are going to pick up two seats. one is in north carolina. this puts us where we need to pick up nine and our target races. we can put these cavalierly. we've got some of the candidates. demonstrates where this is. the a percent of this is an offense. ours is to expand and maximize our opportunities. that will be our goal. i will quickly highlight this. excitingne of the recruitment classes we have seen in a long time. run through these candidates really quickly. this is down in tucson. she came with only about 2000 votes last time. she is the first female highland in combat. our best pickup opportunities in the country. this is hardly a race. he is never had a race against him. we never even had a research book on the sky. we've got a great area here. in a farming accident. he is a successful business owner. when the mayor's race in 2012 and one that part of 67%. there's not been one public or private gold that has them leaving. selected she would be t

socialist why aren't you a democrat. ok well i am not a republican to be sure because they have become a very right wing party i'm not a democrat because in my view the democratic party today is not anywhere near as strong as it should be and standing up for the vast majority of the people who happen to be working class people middle class people now i think the democrats do a far far far better job than the republicans democrats and i are trying to raise the minimum wage we're trying to make sure that long term unemployment people can continue to get the benefits the unemployment benefits that they need try to work for pay equity itself forth but bottom line do the democrats do most democrats are they willing to really stand up to the billionaire class that has so much economic and political power and the answer is no and i think that's one of the reasons why so many people now are disenchanted with both parties the reason f.e.c. filing you raise nearly seven hundred sixteen thousand dollars in the last three months nin

democrats did not look at being a real democrat. when i talk about it, i want to say right now, if they do not aside the minimum wage increase, all of these issues, same-sex marriage, ridiculous, what we have to do, and i love her, she had 83% of the vote down in florida in the primary. and she was really gung ho. -- i can't think of the words, but they have to stop this. i am too nervous to talk. >> what do you think they need to focus on? you said hillary clinton and these democrats. what do they need to focus on? >> the united states and these trade things. all of these, the clothes, we don't make anything in america. we need jobs. they won't concentrate on that. they are asking like that's out. global trade. >> okay. ? >> if we don't -- if we don't start producing jobs for people and they just stepside -- step, you know, step aside on this issue. i think that's the most important thing. they won't do it. >> okay. all right. yeah. you know, the caller makes a great point and that's another issue that came up again and again. i ta

on the democratic side, i'm hearing basically the same thing from every democrat i have heard talk after yesterday. seems to me the democrats might be more united in seeing a political opportunity than republicans. is that your read? >> yeah. it reflects where public opinion is. first of all, 99% of women of childbearing age have used contraception. it's hardly controversial. but yet here we are having a controversy about it. it demonstrates how far to the right republicans are have moved that with few exceptions they seem to think this is a good political strategy for them when we know polling about hobby lobby or broadly about contraception it's clear. this is not something -- i have never heard a woman say, i really wish my boss would tell me which birth control method to use. that would be helpful. and my neighbor should have her boss tell her what to do. chris christie equivocating here, i guess he's trying not to get anybody angry. it doesn't look executive. oh, what are you going to do? it's i will not an opinion. >> take us inside the republican world on this issue. is there a di

gathering.ans were i assume the democrats were doing the same thing. there was very little discussion among the members. i did not have a discussion until the night before we actually went public. it was the day before. i met with tom railsback. he invited a number of people to drop by for coffee and it was at that meeting that i first saw what group might be willing, or inclined to vote against impeachment, who might come that morning. i met jim mann and talked to him for the first time. walter flowers and talked to him for the first time. and caldwell butler and we met at that point and said is there anything here that we really all of us could agree on. that would constitute either an abuse of process, abuse of power, i should say, and we went through all of the evidence that we felt was pretty convincing and i think at that point i knew who was voting for and who against, at least their inclination and we went public the next day with our respective speeches. >> you were a 34-year-old representative from maine and a republican so a member of your o

democrats were expecting him to have a better quarter.s good cash on hand but the fact that he got 1.9 and scott brown got 2.34, 2.35 million was not lost on some folks. >> peter? >> i want to plug a story this week on cnn.com about the u.s. chamber of commerce which has put itself on the front lines of smashing tea party insurgents across the country in house and senate races could spend up to $60 million, $70 million this cycle. that might not be new but the chamber of commerce moved away from being just a lobbying organization in d.c. to being one of the most political players in campaigns rivaling american crossroads. >> we'll keep an eye on that one. former bob dole campaign manager scott reed behind a lot of the decisions. jonathan? >> virginia is next door to washington, d.c., and it's going to be drawing two potential candidates for president this month on tuesday, rand paul is going to be in arlington, sitting down with two candidates who ran in virginia last year, pete snyder and ken cuccinelli, both lost their campaigns, busine

they were the hawkish democrats, the henry jackson democrats. it was natural to fight within the democratic party. now it's natural to have the fight within the war party. >> they started it. >> they started it. they are admitting, many of them, including rand paul, that it was a mistake. they will have to deal with the consequences. the question will be -- the and rand paul will have this position to himself in pure terms. >> that's what i think. >> he'll have it to himself in pure terms and will go to iowa and new hampshire and make his case. after ten years and trillions of dollars and after that he may have a case with those people. >> just remember, in the game of heartses he's shooting the moon. he's all alone. rand paul called out rick perry who talk theed about sending troops back to iraq. senator paul wrote, unlike perry >> the idea that i'm for opening up the gates and sending multiple numberses of american troops back into harm's way is a bit of a stretch. as a veteran, as an individual who deployed hundreds and thousands of u.s. nati

>> absolutely not, she was the fair haired woman for for the democratic party. people lined up to see her at the pennsylvania society. her own party is upset with her. she does not know what she is doing, i'm not surprised it will continue, and if she runs again she will not win. >> she made a very good case for not having an elected attorney general and having one pointed quite frankly. >> some states do that. >> we did it, we have appointed until 1980. the first one was elected in 1980. she was politicized in the way she has gone about her work. in some cases if she doesn't like the law she won't enforce it. >> she won more votes than president obama statewide. >> and bob casey. >> she was not ready for this job, she comes from a wealthy family, she was a woman and breath of fresh air, people projecting all that you want, like tom wolf and the reality sets in she is now being criticize sized by he democrat, seth williams in philadelphia. all the district attorneys. she said something one day contradicts it, if you have to say of the visual asking for a meeting

the '68 democratic convention. can you recall a time when there was so much trouble in so many different places around the world? >> first of all it's good to be with you bob. but iqj(!%9- the fact that this is happening in so many different parts of the world we grew up in a different era where we were focused on the threat from the soviet union and that was the major activity. and it clearly was dangerous. but what has happened now is that we are seeing problems in a variety of places. some of it due to globalization, frankly, which has opposite side that created a lot of nationalism in those countries that or places where people feel lost within the facelessness of globalization. and then because of technology. because there's too much connectivity and also not an understanding of all the various pieces of the news that come into us >> schieffer: we have so much going on right now it's almost like we are caught up in events out of control that we have until this second when i will bring it up had time to talk ab

despite it being a tough year for the democrats. they don't have a national narrative.ealth care is not a major creditor part of what we are doing in washington or the campaigns. the contrast to what you were you talking about is what is happening in kentucky. mitch mcconnell may lose his race because the democratic governor embraced obamacare, it worked. mitch mcconnell can against it. it may be essential and central to the most important republican leader losing in the fall. >> can the senate minority leader threat the needle and run against obamacare even - excuse me, paul howard, even while connect, the kentucky programme many? >> right. i think the needle you need to thread is put together solutions that work. the health care cost started in the mid 2000s. others acknowledged that for a long time. apparently a big part is the lagging economic recovering. we know the health care cost lagging for seller years, people expect it it pick up and trend. that's right. you face the question of what are you offering on net. you can't say repeal, because ironically it turps t

ands a democrat economy democrats thrive in bad economies. when the economy is good, they got beaten. ohio, it didl in exactly what it was supposed to do. moved industry out of ohio to mexico and other places. that is what it was supposed to do. manufacturingong country, democrats lose. they love the economy. there is nothing wrong with the economy. guest: a couple of points to make. they did have a really bad drought there. it was a mix of problems. there was snow and cold in some parts of the country and dry heat in others. but they have got, of course, some problems with their crop from disease. the economy is quite mixed. to say things have been bad joined the obama era, it is a complicated picture when you look at it. the stock market has done almost unbelievably well. incks from where they were 2009 when obama came into office, they are really at record highs again. financial markets have boomed. it looks like the markets are moving even higher. host: it is about to hit 17,000. guest: the financial markets have done very well in the cou

that bill differs from the democrats, because under the democrat's bill obamacare required that private -- that employers provide birth control as part of their health care coverage, so employers would end up paying for part of the cost of birth control whereas the republican bill says women can, of course, buy birth control on their own, and their employer has no business telling them they can't. >> host: is the republican counter proposal changing law? >> no. no. it's just reaffirming it. kelly ayotte said the bill would call on the fda to look into whether birth control should be available over the counter but it doesn't say that has to happen. it would ask the fda to look into it. >> host: why are republicans introducing this counter proposal now? >> because also want women voters ahead of the midterm election. they're trying to counter democrat efforts to get all the women votes, so they're trying to make it seem like they're a party that's equally supportive towards women. >> host: ramsey cox covered the hill. you can find the reporting at the hill.com. thank you for your time. >>

feinstein a prominent democrat. listen larry i listen i will agree with him and i think we can put we could put more sanctions on the russian that i think will see that come from this white house when the president started this sanction regime against the white house this actually it was slow and steady it will contain will continue to do that this president will continue to do that and i think it's working we've seen the russian economy pretty much collapse but it cannot be u.s. sanctions alone that what's propping up the russian economy and aiming as well as i do is the europeans and so what we need to do is work with our european allies to say let's put more sanctions on let the e.u. put more sanctions on the russians right now is the time to do it when it's not in the summer time so heating prices that he it's not cold so you have to worry about heating oil is that the third but we've that requires us to get to the come to the table and talk to our allies and try to get something done on that so i agree there bu
