. >> except for people like lindsey graham, john mccain, kelly ayotte and a few others. >> tom cotton in arkansas accused his opponent mark pryor of what he called a fundamentally unseriousness of matters of war and peace. i think mr. cotton was right about that. the problem is will voters think all these politicians are fundamentally unserious? margin republicans certainly on national security, but it's not a slam dunk. >> how are democrats trying to defend themselves, jason? >> well, they're trying to defend themselves by doing what the president is trying to do, which is to say, yes, we need to go back in in iraq, but it's not going to be like under george w. bush. if there's any consistency to obama's foreign policy, if there's any principle there, it's to never do anything that could get him compared to george w. bush. and that's all -- that's all he's out there saying and i think democrats are following his lead on this. i don't know that this election is going it turn on foreign policy. maybe if there's a big event, a plane gets shot down, more kidnappings. because of obama's l

mid-september before the senate armed services committee and was asked this by republican senator kelly ayotte of new hampshire. >> would you agree with me, though, that air strikes are much more effective with having our special forces or having a capability in terms of the effectiveness of strikes on the round with our people? >> it depends on the kind of contact that that the two forces are having. let me explain. when the forces are separate, when isil is at some geographic separation from the iraqi security forces, it's not very difficult at all to discriminate between the targets. >> sure, but isn't our problem is when they're not out in open space, when we have to distinguish between, for example, civilian targets? >> that is correct. >> then our people are very effective at that? >> yeah, absolutely. and that's where i was headed. if we get into a circumstance where the forces are very intermingled, then the target discrimination becomes more difficult. but i will say, this is not a light switch. either you do it or you don't. there are technologies available that we dent have five yea

an open senate race, kelly ayotte, the republican. this was a credible democratic candidate, a member of congress, was trounced. almost 25 points in new hampshire that night. so when you start to look at this, you start to say republicans are talking about, they think there's gong to be some kind of a wave here in 2014. they think candidates like scott brown running a few points behind right now, they think those candidates are going to catch up in the end. if scott brown goes over the top after trailing by a fou point, that could be a seen it's happening elsewhere nationally. if gejean shaheen wins, then that's an indication there may not be that kind of a wave. >> this is the most interesting state to me. we're always asking the question, scott brown coming up from massachusetts into new hampshire. is there a carpet bagger problem with him? this is the most heavily republican and densely populated part of the state. it's filled with people who are like scott brown. they left massachusetts for new hampshire for lower taxes. so the qu

that's good for new hampshire. >> wolf, once again she's distorting a bill that not only senator ayotte voted against, but democrats voted against. and if you want to talk about money, we're both raising money the same way. she has her groups. we have our groups. they're doing whatever they want. i'm scott brown and i approve that message. those are my messages. i have no control over any other messages. that's being said, we have an opportunity because the people of new hampshire are smarter. they're very sophisticated being the first in the country presidential. they understand that senator shaheen has not held town halls. they understand that when she went to washington, she changed, and she's not focusing on small business. she has a zero rating. with respect, i have been down there fighting for small businesses. that's why i have an a rating with the national federation, and also the united states chamber of commerce. >> quick response? >> well, again, the national federation of independent businesses has some members here, and i appreciate what those members do, but the fact is, l

i went to a campaign event with brown and i talked to kelly ayotte about whether or not senator warrenuld play well in new hampshire if you want to take a listen. >> do you think that senator warren represents new hampshire values? no. i don't think she represents new hampshire values. she represents massachusetts values, perhaps. i think even -- i think that senator warren is not someone who represents new hampshire values. >> oh. that's tricky. >> it's a little bit of a tricky thing. you can't say warren is not from here and browne is. >> he's hammering that senator shaheen has been a rubber stamp for the president saying she voted with him 99% of the time. >> yeah. and new hampshire is actually shown itself the past couple of cycles to be vulnerable to the national waves. you've seen the delegation swing from democrat to republican back again. so i think the main question is if we are moving toward a wave if sort of these cry size stand at the forefront whether or not it costs shaheen her seat. >>> it's debate night in louisiana. democratic senator mary lane landrieu fights to keep

. >> that was senator kelly ayotte of the armed services committee expressing concern about president obama's long-term strategy in the middle east. fox news millary analyst, general jack keane. >> first, we've been conducting offensive air strikes for a little over a couple weeks now. clearly we made some progress. we've degraded their resources and capabilities and we've also disrupted some of their functions, command and control, training foreign fighters in the open, ability to resupply. but i really do have some concerns because one of the things we're trying to attempt here, shannon, is to shut down their offensive capability, to make them a defensive organization so they cannot attack at will. quite frankly they've stepped up their offensive capability, just as we just saw the attack on kobani, using tanks, artillery, more tars, infata mortars, infantry. that's combined arms. they're also attacking east of aleppo and in northeastern syria. in iraq the last couple days they took new territory in anbar province. so offensive separations are ongoing and they are successful and we

senator kelly ayotte is on the homeland committee. she joins us. good evening, senator. >> good evening, greta. >> senator, do you know of any specific threats or anything that should -- should in any way have us alarmed tonight or as we beef up security it's just because we see the world as increasingly dangerous? >> well, i think, greta, what you see the secretary jobs doing important in light of what happened in canada, the terrorist attack we saw there. so in terms it of what catherine herridge mentioned, it makes sense that we would beef up security, but we have to do much more. first of all, i think continuing to take the fight to isis and really to weaken them both in iraq and syria, and i think the air strikes at this point have been tepid in that regard. but also i continue to worry about the threat of the western passport holders, the foreign fighters that have gone or attempted to go to syria. including close to 100 americans. i think homeland security has to take greater steps to revoke people's ports sooner that can have access to the

it's the 129,000 veterans who can now get care close to home because of the legislature that senator ayotte and i got into the veteran's reform bill. what we need is a senator who's going to work for new hampshire. who's going to make sure we address the concerns that we hear from our constituents, who's going to be willing to work with democrats, republicans and independents. anybody this washington who can help us get the job done for this state. >> you've got 45 seconds. >> she just described me. because i was the most bipartisan senator in the united states senate. every survey that's come out has senator shaheen as being one of the most partisan senators. she has voted with the president over 99% of the time. what does that mean to people in new hampshire? means she was the deciding vote for obamacare. she voted against every ability to keep our doctors and health facilities that everyone loveded. as a result, deductibles are going up. costs are going up. care and coverages are going down. she's voted to keep this place a system with more grad lock. that's part of the problem. >> the n

that being said, senator ayotte and other democrats voted against that bill, that you keep referring to and running against me for the last year. when we are talking about our energy producers, you voted to tax those same energy producers. in addition to that, you have not all of the above approach when it comes to energy. i want to make sure that whatever happens it's not going to be passed through through individual motorists. especially if you remember that bill was done in the middle of the tourist season, in the middle of recession when gas was about $.50 a gallon. if we want to have a conversation about energy, i already voted to eliminate the ethanol subsidy and other things like that, but to single out our energy producers in the middle of the recession, in the middle of the tourist season and not allow us to become energy independent, to step back from our dependence on foreign oil, i think is a mistake. >> back to george stephanopoulos. >> we began by health care and we will. you brought up the affordable care act a couple times. right now your opposition to it well-known.

senator ayotte and i voted against that bill because it was a bad bill. there are already mechanisms in place to protect women in the event of workplace discrimination. and i actually do not just leave it, i actually employ it. for example, in my office, i paid women 1.21 to every dollar that a man made. senator shaheen pays 95 cents for every dollar that a man makes. so i not only believe it, i live it. >> senator shaheen, you want to respond to that? [applause] >> again i think the issue is , who do you trust to make decisions about their own reproductive health. i trust women 100% of the time. i think they should be able to make those decisions with their families, with their physicians. and scott brown when he had the chance voted against that when it came to appointing a new justice to the supreme court who was pro-choice, he was opposed to elaina kagan. when it came to supporting the freedom of choice act which would have cod filed roe v.wade -- codified roe v wade in 2010, he opposed that. so there's a fundamental difference on this. >> senator sha

and the 129,000 veterans who can now get care close to home because of the legislation that senator ayotte and i got in the reform bill. but we need is someone who's going to work for new hampshire, who will make sure that we address the concerns that we hear from our constituents, who was going to be willing to work with democrats, republicans, and anyone who can get the job done for the state. >> she just described me. i was the most i partisan senator in the united states senate. outy survey that has come has senator shaheen as being one of the most partisan senators. she has, in fact, voted with the president over 99% of the time. what does that mean for the people with -- in new hampshire? she was the deciding vote for obama care. hospitals to keep our -- as a result, costs are going up dramatically. care and coverages are going down. going to put in place a system where we have more and more gridlock between the parties 99% of the time. we need to have an end to that gridlock. >> you can see all of that new hampshire senate debate between jeanne shaheen and scott brown at www.c-span.
