[laughter] and so it's true. you can actually get a seat at a coffee shop or at a nice restaurant, you can actually go in. and is so for me, i had gone and i had lived in cities, and i think that there's so much value in cities. and one of the things i'm really interested in is this whole idea of the rural/urban divide because i actually think people are people, and we all have more in common than we have that divides us. but i love living in cities because, you know, i love the unique and interesting things that happen. and kentucky was always hope, it alw

you have won six races in kentucky, 12 county primaries. let's talk about the first one, commercial.nd you were, well, i think all of us in the training center our political accidents. not all of us will admit it but we all are. you surely were. you were 30 points behind in july. so the bloodhound, what was that? >> guest: it was a desperate situation. roger ailes who is now pretty well known --, how did you find roger ailes? >> guest: in the stacy is doing political consulting am doing commercials. >> host: willing to take on someone in a democratic state was 30 points behind? >> guest: he had a couple of clients he thought is going to win that you, and me. i appreciated the fact is willing to take the on. this is a tough competitor. started cnbcow he for nbc and started fox for rupert murdoch. here's the situation to it wasul july of the election. i was down -- 1984, i was down 34 points. we points. we had a beating in louisville and i said roger, is this race over? here's what he said. i've given anybody to come from this far behind this

recently our campaign spent 3 years in kentucky and what happened kentucky shifted and a number of the counties we were in for 3 years they changed a flip from truck support to the support of the new democratic governor we didn't endorse the governor we showed them the connections and how they were being played one against of and they got it and they decided to change we have to remember that after the civil war for instance black and white folk came together and changed the country and every effort to poor black and white. together has always been either assassinated or destroyed because as dr king said when that possibility is there the aristocracy knows the danger of it too is political control on this country we believe in our campaign we have a moment in history that we can really work to change and it doesn't take much to 34 percent change in many of these states could fundamentalists shift the political calculus could fundamentally shift the political calculus with a big election coming up in november the presidential election who do you think should be the best democrat to figh

she filed a motion with the kentucky court of appeals. jessie and jarred meanwhile were out and about, relatively free. >> how did you feel about both jessie and jarred building out on house arrest with just ankle bracelets? >> i was livid. i argued to the best of my ability to the judge about why someone that was charged with such a heinous murder should be out on an ankle monitor, and none of the arguments that i made were convincing to the judge. >> then, everyone waited and wait. four long years went by before the appeals court finally reached a decision and sided with the prosecution. >> what's that moment like when you get word that it's been overturned and that the statement will be allowed? >> i was very much relieved. >> pryor considered her options and concluded that of the two, jarred deserved the harshest punishment. >> jarred long was the one who pulled the trigger nine times. jarred long was the one who took the life of vincent goslen, we wanted to pmake sure he receive the maximum punishment for the crime. >> to do that, th

in a state like kentucky, that is not going to be in that benefit for her. like stephanie said, they're going to have to run the races they need to win in their states. going to that is involve not taking the endorsement from emily's list. help that candidate fundraiser. it is a signal to donors that this candidate is viable. amy mcgrath doesn't really need that. she has been pulling in big numbers because senator mcconnell is such a national figure and can energize democratic donors on his own. >> to look at another race where emily's list has endorsed one female over another, texas 24 in suburban texas. stop.s rated as a top listbridget said, emily's back and could be a signal to people who are paying less attention to races across the country but want to get involved in a candidate that is worth watching and something who can bring something to the table. the final process unfolds, if it is pete buttigieg or former vice president joe biden, or senator sanders, it seems to indicate from her that they almost have to select a woman as the running mate. sheha

we are going to like from kentucky, democrats line. good afternoon, mike. hi, this is mike from kentucky. is a better democrat, because hillary wasn't. i voted for barack obama. two-facedmp is such a that we need to get rand paul and mitch mcconnell out of kentucky. is just a big circus around different all these byortunities going on kentucky because of them. if everybody is scared of donald trump, as i have been watching throughthe hearings, the whole thing and waiting to see if he is going to be impeached or not, it's not going to matter because in the state tokentucky, we've got them contend with, rand paul and mitch mcconnell. host: mike, thank you for the call. senator mcconnell up for reelection and we will cover that race as well as the other senate key races in our campaign 2020 coverage. if you are interested in seeing how the caucus process unfolds, two different caucuses, one out of downtown des moines and one in a more rural part of the state. also on the web and the free c-span radio app. this is the headline from the drug report. "super bowl

why would a candidate like her in kentucky not want your endorsement? stephanie: every candidate has to run the race they are most comfortable with, and that is very important. we don't force ourselves on anybody. we are a great asset to the vast majority of democratic women who run for office and come to emily's wrist seeking our endorsement. but on occasion, and it is a rare occasion, a candidate feels she may not want to be tied to any kind of national organization or has a different campaign strategy she wants to execute, and i think that is probably the case here. if she changes her mind, we will definitely entertain that. even though we don't have the and northhe colorado carolina senate races, we do have great women running in maine, and iowa with teresa greenfield, who has a real shot at joni ernst, a senate race in kansas is really, really interesting, with it we have the right democratic candidate in robert boyer. we have an interesting primary in texas, and believe a woman is going to come through, mj hager, a phenomenal candidate in that rac

in kentucky, we posted election results on every single precinct before those results actually go back to the county. so to me that the several -- it adds a layer of security into the system that says that votes are not being chained at the county level and that we can always go back. it's also giving access to ap and admins to have runners that go around. they actually pulled the results on the doors of the precincts in kentucky and have those up and ready to go. quite frankly before i have those results. so for me even though on my election night deterrence system, it says in big flashing red letters unofficial , results, it is a how many times i say that or it's on there are big and bold it is, people still take that as verbatim and the run with it. -- and they run with that. we know is definitely from election administrator processes, is a human process. there is human interaction with this data. because of that, sometimes a clerk might fail to put absentee numbers of the end of the night. guess what, when they go back to certify the election, those numbers were grown because of ab
