beauprez.>moderator: with reform here in the state to deal with the legal immigration is the centerpiece of the effort you said in a radio interview that if washington does not act if they would pledged u.s. jan brewer did in arizona it required the state officials to look at the immigration status of anyone they stopped in to see if they might be here illegally. would you try to enact a similar law here in colorado and house specifically would you target undocumented immigrants? beauprez: i was referring to property rights of people on her border nothing to do with legislation. my political opponents decided it does but it did not had to do with her standing up to the federal government for farmers and ranchers on the southern border whose riches became uninhabitable because the federal government failed to secure the border. not only that governor brothers said wait. do your job. that is the problem with illegal immigration for both parties. there is a lot of dialogue and back-and-forth for p

beauprez. this debate courtesy of politico and the denver metro chamber is 5 minutes. >> governor hickenlooper often touts an economic record of 200,000 new jobs and helped reduce the unemployment rate from 9.1% to 5.3%. you've been critical of his record in comparison to some surrounding states. specifically what would be your first two decisions to reverse hickenlooper policies that you believe would move the state in a better direction? >> thank you for the question, manu. and kelly and the denver chamber and everyone, thank you for the opportunity. when i talk to coloradans about what's holding them back, it's government. we've gotten into an era where it's government on the people instead of of, by, and for the people. when i say what do you mean by that -- they say regulations. john has regulations he's eliminated but he's also put on the books 2,000 new unbuts. along with the federal government, about 100,000 pages of federal regulations a year. i wonder if anybody out there really think

beauprez? >> i think that anyone who is objective on this understands that it is being abused right now, it is being abused intentionally and that the risk of a lot of evil in our society -- a lot of people in our society. that is the challenge in front of us. this is now the law. whether we like it or not, and i didn't like it, for the record, we have to regulate it as tightly as we can within the understanding of the law. athad medical marijuana first, now we have an amendment calling it recreational and it is not supposed to be used in public, yet we see it used all around town, including in front of the governor's office in civic square park in public. that is not giving law enforcement or the citizens the support to enforce the law as they passed it. such is the challenge that governors and those of us in elected office have to be able to accept, enforcing the law as it was intended. >> do you have a rebuttal? >> i think we agree on this one. i will save mine for later. [laughter] , what i

congressman beauprez? >> in colorado we have one of the worst rates of recidivism -- that means going back to prison -- of any state in the nation. we are on the bottom three. the governor says he has solved the problem of solitary confinement. all he did was return them back. guess what? prisoner on prisoner violence is up. our streets are not safer. 93% of sex offenders are paroled directly into our neighborhoods without receiving any therapeutic habilitation before they are turned back to our neighborhoods. that is not defending public safety and improving public safety. that is taking your eye off the ball and failing to lead. >> thank you. let's change the subject. governor you appointed a task , force to set off contentious -- head off contentious anti-fracking ballot measures. it is a polarizing issue. the task force is made up of people on the fringes of the issue, who will have to reach a two thirds majority vote for the legislature. isn't the task force set up to fail? >> i don't think so. if you

beauprez. >> ok. moving on. to you, mr. beauprez. immigration reform. of course, major business issue here in the state. dealing with illegal immigration remain a centerpiece of that effort. you said in a radio interview in july that if washington doesn't act, quote, governors ought to be allowed to do it as jan brewer tried to do in arizona. of course that arizona law requires state law enforcement officials to determine the immigration status of anyone they stop or arrest if there's reason to suspect that they -- that the individual might be here illegally. would you, as governor, try to enact a similar law here in colorado, and how specifically would you target undocumented immigrants? >> that is a mischaracterization. what i was referring to with jan brewer is she defended the property rights and lives of people on her border. it had nothing to do with legislation. it had to do with jan brewer standing up when the federal government wouldn't for farmers and ranchers especially on our southe

and this thing is in part about bob beauprez, he's running for governor in colorado.be where you need to drink the beer. we need to behold the egg. we got to go to the man cave to talk about this stuff. behold the egg nestled in a little tube. gentlemen, this is the other team. this is the lady people. so here's the home team. here's you guys, the sperm, which we're going to represent here with a paisley pattern also known as persian pickles. balance the ploet on your belly. we're going to go live here. behold the actual sperm represented through the ables in medical literature as the heroic, brave, unstoppable night, charging forth, harpooning the egg with its spermy fertileness and although we have heroic ideas about sperms, every permanent is sacred, every one is a bold little knight. et turns out they're not as hardy as we like to think they are. i don't mean this as a statement on guys, or in a way that will make you feel pressured. it's not a metaphor. it's just science. sperm are weak, they can be dissuaded from their noble task. that's really how it works real

so you have bob beauprez in colorado and these others you mentioned. that's a big defining difference. >> much more expensive states to get competitive because they are so large. we have to take one more break. when we come back, hits and misses of the week. >>> time for hits and misses of the week. kim, start us off. >> a hit to canadian prime minister steven harper for sending the obama administration a message. the u.s. has been snubbing canada for six years over the keystone pipe line now it comes news it is developing its own pipe line to its own refinery. mr. harper recently told business leaders he thinks the united states won't be a forecast growing economy for years and canada should change the entire mindset about even doing business with us. when you've lost canada, you've got a problem. >> you sure do. they are out beating us on economic policy. >> miss to all women's college in california which this week pulled an invitation for conservative columnist george will to appear at the program at xrips which is designed to bring alternative view

on the other side, the issues afterb beauprez have been , the hook and aurora democratic legislatureassed some very modest gun laws which led, as you may have heard, to the recall of two state senators and it has been a huge issue ever since. then, in the death penalty, where hickenlooper ran as a pro-death penalty governor in 2010, but when it came to time to execute the first person in colorado in 20 years, he could not do it. he backed off and said this is not what government should do, and had a really toughness moment, -- epiphany moment, but governors -- republicans have said it was a flip-flop and bob beauprez said one of the first things he will do will be to execute nathan dunlop. >> the congressional race is getting a lot of attention. >> the system district race started -- the sixth district race started off as a huge race because it is a close district. became lessuse important, nobody thinks the house is going to swing one way or the other. people became less interested. >> what are they known for? >> he used to be speaker of the house in colorado, he is a mainstream lib

hickenlooper, beauprez's slogan, we can do better. 21 republican seats and 15 democrat. the political website real clear politics rates 12 governor's raaes as toss-ups, neil. neil: thank you very much, peter barnes. from the big dog. bill clinton is making stopssin georgia and iowa to campaign for democrats doing fairly well on what could be tight senate races in bbth states. back with our all-stars. tracy, obviously, you go to clinton is, that not barack obama. but if, for example, he were to tip the weights in georgia or iowa in favor of the democrats, that could spill over nicely for his wife, right? >> most definitely. i think he could tip the scales. these races are tight. the connecticut race by a point. co they're neck-and-neck is surprising since the economy is so well. the problem at the end of the day is voters get out. if they get out and vote. katy bar the door. if they don't the incumbents have a free ride home. neil: interesting using mr. clinton, he's not a hard left turn guy. his wife made a hard left turn with the corporations. she dialed it back a littl

never returned our calls until the denver post published an article that quoted me saying that bob beauprez did not call me back. they were nice about it. the other guy that said no really nicely, he turns out to be the most amazing one of all. i wish he would have agreed to talk to me. but because he didn't, i will talk about him. that's next. plus more of my confusing trip to learn how to buy pot when it is ill little to do so. do you guys show people to roll jones if they don't know how? >> no, we don't. we have prerolled jones they can purchase here. >> you can buy joint by joint? >> yep. >> are they all priced the same? >> yes, $10 per joint. a single ember that escapes from a wildfire can travel more than a mile. that single ember can ignite and destroy your home or even your community you can't control where that ember will land only what happens when it does get fire adapted now at fireadapted.org . >> as far as our customer base, it's usually 40 to 50-year-old men and women. very well dressed. >> more men than women? >> i'd say about half-and-half. but it's not your usual 22-year-o

republican businessman beauprez. it will be bush's first appearance on the trail since his son said sunday he is giving serious thought to a presidential run. yesterday, bush said he will decide by the end of the year, quote, if it's a yes, i guess you're going to the bat cave. if i was to run it would be with joy in my heart and to express the joy of this country. the need to fix a few things. and describe the leadership that's needed. i have a blessed life. social issues have been at the center of the colorado campaign so far. udall out with a new ad. in a competing ad, garner uses his endorsement from "the denver post" to attack udall for running a, quote, obnoxious, one-issue campaign. former president clinton defended udall yesterday at a rally in that state. msnbc's rachel maddow asked u a udall such a hard time as coming across approachable. >> she says, in person, when she talks to you one on one, her experience with covering you all these years, is that you're fun to be with, you enjoy life, you are a conver

colorado could a stronger than expected showing by republican senate candidate cory gardner lift bob beauprezgovernor's race? if the georgia governor's race advanced to a runoff, could it boost jason carter? or will nathan deal help david perdue win? we've got a guy would cho can d. the manager of postpolitics.com. let's start in kansas. how likely one of these incumbent republicans brownback or roberts win and the other lose? >> well, because their problems are unique to each of them and also magnify the others. so i've heard a lot of republicans talk to me and said this is the perfect storm for pat roberts which is he wasn't paying attention. he should have been spending a little more. essentially, casting himself as an independent voice. a guy that's going to washington and to washington and get things done. that's not good. normally you would expect the republican governor of a state like kansas to be winning re-election by some of the numbers you showed him win by, 20 points. that would drag roberts across the line. brownback has his own troubles, basically self inflicted, cutting taxes
