to take a look at the democratic challenges and tactics, bill richardson, a member of clinton's cabinetead of the national urban league. thank you both of you for joining us. i will start with governor richardson. plipt has been a mixture dwarfing president obama's efforts. he hit the trail for smaller local candidates. is the democratic party no longer obama? is it the party of the clintons? how do you read this? >> they are the biggest attracts. every president in mid-term elections towards the end, their popularity goes down. this is still a party of president obama. it's a mistake for democrats to disassociate with him and his policies. i would be talking about obamacare starting to work and the economy improving and unemployment down and a foreign policy over 60 countries supporting us in the fight against isis and getting out of iraq and afghanistan. i just am per34ex plexed why the party of clinton, obama, roosevelt and kennedy is going away from it. mark will tell you, turn out is going to be key. we need hispanics and women out to vote. when you turn off obama and don't use him

i ask you very nicely to calm down your child just a little bit. >> richardson said she told the woman off and left the store. she may lose three of her teeth because of that attack. >>> a moderate earthquake hit this morning near the california-oregon borden. it was a magnitude 4.5 hitting just after midnight at the california-oregon border southeast of lakeview, oregon. there have been more than 20 quakes in area in the 2 and 3 ranges over the past 24 hours. there are no reports of any significant problems. >>> 4:33. a check of weather. lawrence says the schooldown is beginning today. >> more clouds and temperatures in the 70s. but we are getting a sea breeze today so we're seeing patchy fog along the coastline. you can see a weak system sliding into the state bringing with it more clouds across our skies today. so we're going to see that this afternoon. we'll see some sunshine in between. still, mid- to upper 70s well inland. 70s inside the bay, 60s with some of the patchy fog along the coastline. a few clouds out over the bay right now. temperatures mild. 60 degrees in san francisc

"now, days after the incident, nordstrom rack shoppers are still talking about the punch, and who was responsible for it." "i don't think it was right, but, i mean she could have handled it in a different way, but some people just have tempers. i guess she felt like she told her kid to shut up, but i just kind of think the person should hav ejust kind of like, kept it to herself. but other shoppers felt differently. "when did we get into the business of not raising our children and thinking that just because you got kids you're not supposed to have any type of decorum. when did we get in that business? you have a child, your job is to raise your child so they're functional in

well, earlier, c's poppy harlow spoke with bill richardson, a former u.s. ambassador to the un and a man who spent years negotiating with north korea to free american detainees. here's that. >> i believe it was two reasons. one, they were catching the north koreans a lot of heat at the un at human rights violations. they were going to be taken to the international criminal court. secondly, i believe they want to start a dialogue with the united states. the fact that there are very few conditions that they have asked for with the release of kenneth bae and this other young man. mr. miller. basically asking for a presidential envoy and releasing them without any apparent conditions any conditions for giving them food or aid. when i've negotiated with the north koreans, they are always asking for something very tangible in return. this time i think they are sending a message that they are ready to talk with the united states and hopefully that will lessen tensions in northeast asia with south korea, with japan, with some of our efforts to teach some kind of st

koreans historically have always responded better or they liked to work with a high-ranking american official. so bill richardson -- you know, as ambassador to the united nations, carried a lot of weight when he went. similarly, of course, president clinton went over and got people released. so i think it has a lot to do with status. and the north koreans feeling like they're treated as a more equal partner and not just a third-rate country with a nuclear weapon. >> how much of a win is this for the obama administration after the mid terms? >> i think it's -- it's certainty positive. i don't think it's a big win for the obama administration, but it's a positive note. it will draw more attention to his trip to china, which is coming up this coming week. >> right. >> i think nobody knows when it comes to the north koreans actually what they're up to. they're so mysterious and isolated, as bill just said. some republicans will speculate, probably quietly, but speculate that, you know, maybe this did have something to do with mid terms. maybe they saw, washington has got the republicans on the chart, and the north k

. >> the rumor is -- this is something we'll talk to a former democratic governor bill richardson --hat the president is going to delay, cancel the deportations up to four million illegals who are already in this country. governor richardson that's that wasn't be an awful idea. first to louisiana republican house majority whip, who says it would be a horrible idea and a big deal, and you argue, congressman, a constitutional overstep as well. >> well, neil, there are laws on the books -- one problem with the immigration sim system is the president is not enforcing existing law, not securing the border. it's national security issue. time he starts doing his job. >> what would republicans do if he goes ahead and issues this executive order right after the elections? maybe as soon as tomorrow. >> we'll see a lot of pushback. in fact you're already seeing his party pay a price at the poll. the fact the president telegraphed he will do something so offensive to the voters that he wants to wait and try to hide it from them until after the election. i think he is going to start paying a pric

a touch higher on the ftse. the dax 43 points higher. that's how markets are shaping up. we're joined by stuart richardsone chief investments officer at r & g. you heard every word from the chief executive of sabmiller and the c.f.o. of merck. what struck me there in the merck interview is this is a company that should be taking advantage of the weaker euro and stronger dollar. it doesn't fit r through to the bottom line. when people say buy companies with exposure to the u.s. and get the benefit. is that really the case? >> in that particular example, clearly not. we're expecting companies to be hedging policies. in has been a change in the euro in the last six months. the immediate currency move is really washed through in terms of the account. if the euro continues lower and they choose not to put future hedges on that would be the time to see the benefit. >> on the funding environment here in europe, the funding environment is easy, easy, easy. low rates for issuing corporate bonds. some at record low interest rates. what are you seeing now? >> if you're a large european, especially german corporate,

undaunted, richardson reacts by picking up a chair and repeatedly whacking the guy. or this burly man who refuses to back down. richardson wrestles him to the ground and subdues him until police arrive. >> i didn't want him to get away. i got him on the floor, pinned him in a judo move and held him there. >> the assailant is a 20-year-old. this is not the first time he has robbed this shop. he held it up twice before, as well as one other betting parlor in the area. ry robberies and sentenced to six years in prison. as for richardson, he doesn't consider himself a hero, just a concerned citizen who chose to fight back. >> it's not the first time it's happened in here. it may not be the last. we should be able to do what we want to without people putting guns in our faces. >>> coming up, in another tense police standoff, a veteran swat team sniper takes a crucial shot. >> i put the cross hairs at the gun and fired at the weapon. now there's even more of the amazing cinnamon taste you love on cinnamon toast crunch. crave those crazy squares even more. you pay your auto

a little bit. joining me now, cnn commentator and "daily beast" contributor, ruben and former governor bill richardsonou both with me today. we keep talking about this project. we're all in the same boat of wanting some solutions however we know it's not easy. ruben, i'll stewart you. democrats want the president now to delay any executive action. do you think that's the right move? >> i don't think that's the right move. i think those democrats are wrong. i want to say thank you for having me on, michaela and great to be on with my friend bill richardson. i will tell you this party, the democrat party, is split on the immigration issue as follows. there are those who see themselves as protecting american workers from competition. they're afraid to legalize these undocumented immigrants will create competition. the other part of it is that they are concerned they have to adopt this program that if people are blamed from this, it will be 2018 and beyond so it's every man for himself. >> that lis a tenuous situation at best, an already tenuous situation. governor, i'm curious about delaying this action

a myriad of players. bill richmo bill richardson. montel williams, does a lot of work with vet skpererans and me health. he felt it was his job. and it's actually worked out very well. and you also saw chairman ed royce of the house foreign affairs committee. and all played a part very early visiting andrew tahmooressi in prison early on. so much work has gone into this. and it may seem this sort of came out of nowhere but according to the family they tell me that the wheels have really been in motion the last ten days. and thought they were going to get the release on tuesday and ends up they got the lease on friday. we're wait for the press conference in about 15 minutes where the family will come out. not tahmooressi or his mother jill, but the family smokesman will come out can talk about what happened. and the materials there. >> what kind of materials? >> we don't know. we know husband car, his truck seized still in mexico. they are going talk about that i'm told. as well as other documents they have. some from the mexican government. we just don't know the specific torus details. but a lot of peo

maybe it's a little opening, but you can't expect much. >> so that is bill richardson's perspective. north korea expert gordon chang also weighing in on this. he believes something must have changed in pyongyang to justify releasing three americans in less than a month. >> i think right now there's the charm offensive on the part of the north koreans because of the rupture of their relationships with the chinese, who were their main sponsors. so now they're reaching out to the united states. but on the question of why now you've got to remember that the united states is involved in these negotiations with iran over its nuclear program. and of course the main thrust of our diplomacy with regard to pyongyang has been the north korean plutonium and uranium programs. i don't know exactly how these two developments relate to each other, but there's got to be some connection because there are no coincidences when it comes to north korea. >> a state department official says bae and miller's release is "unrelated" to other u.s. issues involving north korea. >>> a couple of months ago cnn's wi

it took a team to get sergeant andrew tahmooressi out of prison. it took people like governor bill richardson, the former governor of new mexico, as well as montel williams. he gave a passionate speak on capitol hill a congressional hearing there where he pleaded for the release of andrew tahmooressi. >> this is an abomination, six months, he didn't hesitate to say aye, aye, sir, to go up and serve. how dare we, how dare we as a nation hesitate to get that young man back? i have a son who's 21 years old who has asked me over and over again, dad, should i serve? and right now i'm telling him no. that's coming from a guy who did 22 years in the service. but no. because our government doesn't respect you enough. and how dare they treat him the way they do. >> and the family said it took moments like that to really bring attention to this story of andrew tahmooressi. also the u.s. state department weighing in on this case in the last hour. i want to read part of that statement now. it says the efforts made by sergeant tahmooressi's family, legal team and supporters, private citizens as well as fr
