it's harry reed doesn't let it come to the floor.they're never passed a budget in five years in the senate. how could you run a government without a budget? >> joining me tonight on rapid response panel brad woodhouse and harold cook from texas. gentleman. good to have you with us tonight. >> thanks ed. >> it's tough to go to the middle of the country and listen to people who simply don't know what the hell is going on. where's the disconnect when it comes to issues that are vital to people's lives yet they vote against their own interest. >> it is often a head scratcher 678 take the issue of seniors. so many seniors will vote with republicans who want to voucherize their medicare, priva privateize or eliminate associatsocial security. saying hands off my health care when they're on medicare. part of it is the polarization, part of it is people oenly get their information from certain sources either on the media or the internet. but we got to keep plugging away, which is why i think braley is making progress in recent polls. >> harry

so he's going to caucus with harry reed. i think most kansans understand that. voting for pat roberts is about more than a vote for pat roberts. it's about sending me to stop the reid/aobama agenda, put him out to pasture and get things done. >> we have just heard from the press conference in kansas that the patient has tested negative. this patient in initial tests does not have ebola. your comments, sir? >> we -- i think that is correct. that is exactly confirm what we are have found out. that's certainly good news. but it doesn't stop the need for really trying to control the disease where it is, send our best and brightest over there, as matt salmon said, and help try to cure the disease there, don't bring it to america. and, again, the president, he's about two steps behind on everything, and then he just sort of does the heisman, and this has to be an integrated international effort. i don't see that yet. the president said it's here. i don't care what protocols we have and the strain we are now putting on our health care system, all hospitals. you have hu

will ever get a vote as long as harry reed is the majority. ground zero for -- ground zero for taking the house back is in north carolina. i'm happy to be here today. [applause] >> we will take a few questions. >> it was thought that michelle hall might be a spoiler in this race. is your appearance here an indication and anybody that might be leaning toward sean? >> there are many libertarian ideas that are republican ideas. lower taxes, the constitution, limited government, balanced budget, personal liberty, and i think tom represents of those ideas and i would like him to respond to that. >> the reason we want any kind of member of the republican caucus here to demonstrate because the people of north carolina [indiscernible] broadhrilled to have the support that i do. that is the way we got things done in raleigh in the last three point five years. we had a broad base and the caucus. we had democrats joining with us against the democrats governor. that is actually governing. i like what harry reid had done -- not like what harry reid has .on

he can say this is about whether or not you want harry reed harry reid to be majority leader. bring in sarah palin and then ted cruz. if he has a weakness, it's with moderate republicans. they look at the tax cuts and the effect on the education policy which has been draaeeen cuts and they say maybe we went too far. so i'm a little confused as to why he's leaning back on ted cruz. i don't get it. >> i want to talk about that for it a little bit. because the guy posing the biggest threat to pat roberts is greg orman who his politics remain a mystery in large part. he talked to kelly o'donnell and says that he's a fiscally conservative socially tolerant problem sofr ilver. what does that mean? >> here is his message. i'm the guy who is not pat rob betters essentially. look, i think the roberts campaign will do everything, though honestly they should never put themselves in this place. greg orman said i'm the independent problem solver and pat roberts is part of the problem. but what i think they will spend the last month of the campaign doing is saying we don't know that much ab

. >> mitch mcconnell and harry reed, if they were to go there and if they were to survive a week likes together we could really move legislation. if they weren'ta able to survive, we could move legislation even faster. >> the critics' take on the show, well, about as low as congress' approval ratings. and many critics say the senators are too darn polite with each other for this to count as reality tv. they can now see it, they can now smell it. they can now hear it from their windows. 2,000-degree lava, searing its way toward a community of 1,000 people on the big island of hawaii that's making everything in its path just disappear. in the past 24 hours it's even gotten closer and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it from pretty much vaporizing anything it touches. our martin savidge took a trip over the lava flow. marty? >> reporter: jake, right now you can see that we're going through rain, not uncommon actually on this side of the island. they get about 140 inches a year so we're diverting around the weather, but we're still following lafra on to pahoa, and it brings up the po

ut that is one and on harry raoe reed's desk and it looked like a were in favor s then one spent tens of millions then thes on campaigns backed t back ofd -- off of keystone pipeline. paul ryan is when passed five or six budget tough ls, they are budgets but they are real and when they just didn't do anywhere for five straight years that the president was in charge of this c.e.o. and didn't pass a budget in five years, job creation in this country. obama care is another example of losing jobs, small businesses closing up because they don't want to pay the premiums. there are three examples of controlled blican senate can make the difference. t is important we do that not because of our party but because of our country. here nk you for your time and thank you for taking uestions and sharing your perspective. certainly there are plenty of here who will be excited to say hello to you if you have a minute to shake hands. i do. perfect. >> thank you again for coming. >> thank you.

you have a leader in harry reed who has upward of 400 bills on his desk that he won't get -- it's gridlocked. because you have senator shaheen and others who vote with their party 99% of the time. i was the most bipartisan senator there. what does that mean? it means we did the insider trading bill, the hire a hero bill. a veterans job bill. you can you get things done, but you have to step back from party politics and partisanship. >> senator shaheen, this idea of an outside commission? seems like the hardest decisions. >> congress should be able to do this. it should be a bipartisan effort within congress. but one of the problems we've got is that we've had gridlock because the rules of the senate allow people to filibuster. and scott brown when he was in the senate, voted for 44 filibusters during his three years in the senate. that's more filibusters than we had in the whole country between 1917 and 1968, over 50 years. we can't afford that kind of gridlock, and that's why it's been difficult to get things done. so we do need to work together, that's what i support, and that's what i try

>> on november 5th you know harry reed will be the majority leader and makes you wonder what he willry to cram through in a lame-duck session in terms of presidential all appointments to the courts as well as different agencies and ambassadors. what i am most concerned about is what happens in january. we want to take the country forward with jobs, focusing on the economy and we have great opportunities to do it. it is so critical we take the senate to the republican -- stuart: fast forward to january. what is the first piece of legislation you pull through the house, senate and president's desk. what is in that bill? >> it is passed the house with bipartisan support because you need 60 votes in the senate and there are jobs bills, energy bills that we can actually put forward because we have bipartisan support, exporting liquefied natural gas, back to the president's descant make him decide. but the keystone pipeline on the president's desk. those things will help the economy, help our balance of trade and get americans back to work. sttart: if you flood the president's-with all of

he is as well known as harry reed and i don't want to make comparisons that will cause problems for people i work with on the house side who get attacked, but mcconnell -- >> can i mention her name? >> mcconnell has exceeded that in the senate battleground. he represents washington and gridlock, and if you want to look what in a regression model would drive the vote, views of the house republicans define the republican party. we move away from that and say we don't have gridlock -- the way the republican brand problem plays out is in the advertising and positioning of the candidates in the states. you don't see it because it is being played out state by state. and there is a reason you went from states being fairly republicans to then moving more democratic is because they began associating those candidates with the party, with their priorities, including a whole range of issues and insensitivity to women and range of things that have become important in the state elections. there is a third piece in this, which i have come to recognize is increasingly important if you want to understand k

allison grimes pollster, who was accurate for harry reed and heidi heidcamp had her ahead by a couplef points. we'll see whether that holds up. but i think functionally, it is a very close tie race, one or two points on either side and, you know, we've got turnout battles and huge attempts to mobilize voters. it's a conservative state. betting on mcconnell. barack obama lost big time, but she's got a shot. >> is there going to be any type of november surprise? are you predicting anything? >> i think there will be a bunch of november surprises. you've got a lot of volatile races. >> i mean anything that the democrats trying to do to pull out of those -- >> oh, oh, no. you mean wag the dog, something like that? >> no. just something that benefits. people -- i've seen a lot of pooej people talking about whether they -- they tried that with gitmo. >> look, the president has been doing a series of things to try to motivate and mobilize if democratic base. >> without actually showing up at any of the states? >> well, they're going to benefit from a significant latino vote, even though they

he said what you should be asking is whether or not they would vote for harry reed.ompletely overreaching government, you can keep your dysfunctional, overreaching government. vote for the democrats. they can run from them all they want to, but there's the question to ask, not just did you vote for obama. if you go back to the senate, will you vote for harry reid to be the leader. if the answer is yes, you better realize this is not a person i want to vote for. >> maybe we'll see a difference in ads in the next couple weeks. >> look, these are people, free incumbent senators, all voted for obamacare. why don't they stand up and be counted and say what they believe out loud? i think they might do better. yeah, i voted for president obama, yeah, i'm a democrat, yeah, i believe in obamacare. if you like it, vote for me, if you don't, don't. i think they would do better for they were honest about it. >> when you say, though, that, yes, i voted for the president but the president is irrelevant, some would say that's a little bit disrespectful to say that the president who

harry reid. will turning reed into a bookie man work for roberts?it's one of the arguments i heard him make over and over again. he is trying to say to kansas which voted for only republicans to go to the senate since the 1930s. if you want a chance to see the senate return to republican control, you have to vote for him, pat roberts. harry reid, of course head of the democrats has become this big figure across the country in these campaigns. it is not a year when you can only attack president obama if you are a republican. they are also using harry reid. we sa you it when the house fliped from democrat to republican and when in many camd in debates like this. there's always the case of bringing another character into the mix so roberts can get attention off him, onto his opponent, trying to link greg orman, who is independent, but in the past has been more aligned with democrats, also has some views that might line up better with republicans, and one of the things that's so compelling about the race is voters have to decide what do they know about

as harry ell known reed and i don't want to make comparisons that will cause for people i work with on the house side who get att k mcconnell -- >> can i mention her name? mcconnell has exceeded that in the senate battleground. washington and gridlock and if you want to look what in a regression model would views of the define the icans republican party. say ve away from that and we don't have gridlock, the way he republican brand problem plays out is in the advertising and positioning of the candidates in the states. you don't see it because it is state.played out state by and there is a reason you went fairly tes being republicans moving more democratic is because they began candidates those with the party, with their priorities including a whole and of issues insensitivity to women and range of things that have become important in the state elections. there is a third piece in this recognize e come to is increasingly important if you kansas and rstand north carolina. the republican governors and governing model of out of the 2010 election is intensely unpopular. at who has to look t

harry reid bigger than the majority? greg orman says he will not be with the democrats if mary reed is the senate majority leader. hat say you? >> i say that harry reid will run for majority leader and he will win with an overwhelming -- probably very close to a majority vote. >> senator mcconnell, i'm hearing the same thing from republicans, he's not out of the woods. he can't put his race away. there are -- greg orman will not sit with the republicans if mitch mcconnell is in charge. is one man bigger than the potential majority for the republican snz. >> no. but i think mitch will win in kentucky. you said that she had disqualified herself, her opponent by saying she wouldn't tell people whether she voted for president obama or not. i think he will -- >> i meant that voters might think that at the time. but to go back -- change in leadership is important. >> i think mitch will win. he will be the leader. >> should he be the leader? >> i think he should. here did. >> the two of them shut down the senate. you done believe that in. >> here is the important point. by changing the majority, having the house and sena

talked to like what you said but they are worried about harry reid and the democratic senate pushing that epa agenda from the administration. >> senate reedis from the west he understands theno:4 importan. i am going to be making the case we need to work with the sector. >> his republican opponent wants to exploit his odds to environmental regulation. >> we have watched this. the environment has gotten more involved. threats to regulate dirt roads and now threats of regulating every molecule of water they love to deal with or address. >> when he says i am going to tackle those issues, too, he supported him 99 percent of the time. he voted for him on every regulation. he is going to once again miss the mark. >> back at the ranch they tried to deal with the effects of those regulations and worrying about their future. >> well want to call everybody together and changing of the season, the fall is the beginning. we have hunter showing up this week. >> robert is referring to the annual cattle sale a once a year shot at making ends meet. one bad day could mean disaster for the ranch. w. ona year. this is a payday for us. we work year-round for

talked about failed government policies of president obama and harry, and, in fact, i think he does not realize he is not running against hairy reed or barack obama. he is running against me. his tenure of outsourcing took place over 40 years, period, so to blame this administration for what happened during his work at companies when he was outsourcing thousands of jobs, there have been others creating manufacturing jobs right here in georgia at the same time. >> david, we are going to wrap happened during his work at companies when he was outsourcing thousands of jobs, there have been others creating manufacturing jobs right here in georgia at the same time. >> david, we are going to wrap this up with rebuttals. mr. perdue, 30 seconds. >> michelle, i have a lot of respect for you, but you are dead wrong. i am absolutely running against barack obama and harry reid. no amount of false advertising -- no amount of false advertising will remove the fact that barack obama has funded you and is mentoring you. do you really believe that we think you will bite the hand that feeds you? you will not. >> ms. nunn, we will stick with this top

harry reid's p.a.c. you didn't know it was senator reed. they're doing whatever they can they can to get senator landrieu re-elected because mayor bloomberg likes her. the n.r.a. has third-party money coming to me but you know who they are, they're the n.r.a. not the person who has mayor bloomberg's endorsement. i like transparency. when harry reid pays for an ad instead of hiding behind some tea party name, put, hey this is hear read. that would be the kind of change i would like. can we put that into law? >> that's an interesting one there. moving on to shanna sanford. this will go to senator landrieu. >> well, pay equity is another important issue that has the attention of our viewers. pay equity. a lot ha has been written. the richest 1% now earn more wealth than the bottom 90%. this is a three-part question. are you concerned about this would raising the anybody mum wage help the working poor which so in many in louisiana belong to that category. it's not -- if not, what policies should congress adopt to address gender and pay inequali

harry reid and that's a tough alcatraz to have around your neck just like president obama. >> we talk to a lot of folks. they like you. they know you. but you are going up against senator reedst what they are fighting for. >> it is not about this election or who is in the white house or minority leader it's about who is the senator for louisiana that can continue to deliver for this state. people want a senator that will fight for them. >> the latest polls show a fight race that could end in a runoff in december. no one wins 50 percent of the vote distinct possibility there will be a run off december 6th. the entire country could wait another month to find out which candidates go into washington. the conference call. the ultimate arena for business. hour after hour of diving deep, touching base, and putting ducks in rows. the only problem with conference calls: eventually they have to end. unless you have the comcast business voiceedge mobile app. it lets you switch seamlessly from your desk phone to your mobile with no interruptions. i've never felt so alive. get the future of phone and the phones are free. comcast business. built for business. >>> as we just saw, lake cha

steer the conversation back to barack obama and harry reid again and again to the point where nunn wrangled him you're running against america not obama and reed. already says i'm absolutely running against obama and reed. you have these divergent paths of nunn wanting to make this about perdue and his background and perdue wanted to nagsize the race. >> that seems to be a theme of republican running against the democrat saying president obama is on the ballot lear and you need to vote against president obama by voting for me. is that working? is it working in georgia? >> guest: i think the polls are showing a tight race now but perdue with a decent lead and i think you know, that certainly is the strategy that they're pursuing and i think to a degree, yeah, because obama is so unpopular, his approval rating pretty down in the dumps in georgia under water and you know, the more that perdue can tie nunn to him, the sort of the better he will fare but on the flip side, a lot of michelle nunn's plan for a upset victory relies on turning out the african american base and the more that base sees her on tv with obama, the more that base gets fired u
