[ applause ] >>> good day, the white house is highlighting the dangers of climate change in a major new report today that says the average temperature in the united states has gone up at least 1.3 degrees. that's a big deal since record keeping began in 19 -- 1895. more than 80% of that temperature rise has happened just since 1980. the report says climate change is real and it is already happening. the north and southeast could get more coastal flooding and severe hurricanes and plains and midwest drier winters and more wildfires. on the west coast, drought is straining water use and creating tensions over water rights. what steps should we be taking? i'm joined by the nation's administrator for the environmental protection agency, jena mccarthy. very good to have you with us. first of all, the key points of this report as far as you're concerned and science is concerned, they are not disput

claire mccaskill is the senator, jay nixon the governor, both democrats. republicans have not done extremely well at the statewide level. they lost the race for governor. they do have the lieutenant governorship in the state. but democrats in missouri have a unique challenge. they must appeal -- if they are to win, they must appeal to rural voters as well as urban voters in kansas city and st. louis and to some degree in jeff city. so even people like claire mccaskill and jay nixon strike a populist, conservative, in some senses, moderate tone with voters in the state. there is no real -- with one or two exceptions, there is no real progressive movement in the state, and that showed up in the last state elections for the legislature, the house and the senate. jay nixon has virtually no working ability in that statehouse at all, rachel, owner to sort of convince lawmakers by the sound of his voice, to change their views. and they often listen to rex sinquefield, the american legislative exchange council, a.l.e.c., has a heavy presence in missouri. those are

coming up next, i have senator claire mccaskill. she'll be talking about a lot of things.a soup of the day where they're serving chilled peach soup, at the jekyll island club. cars are driven by people. they're why we innovate. they're who we protect. they're why we make life less complicated. it's about people. we are volvo of sweden.

that's exactly what claire mccaskill did in missouri in 2012. her poll numbers were very bad, missouri was a romney state. mccaskill had no business winning a second term in the senate except there was one potential republican opponent that she thought she could beat, that she thought might be so extreme that even voters in red state missouri wouldn't be able to check off his name. and that guy was todd akin. mccaskill quietly bankrolled ads that ran during the gop primary race that called akin, missouri's true conservative and touted his pro-family agenda. she was trying to pick her opponent and make it more attractive to conservatives and it worked because akin won the primary. then he went on to make those comments about legitimate rape and by november the race wasn't close. mccaskill won the campaign that at the start of the year she had no business winning and that was one of the reasons why democrats could hang on to their senate majority in 2012. they actually increased their majority, something that seemed impossible at the start of the

and later in the day, missouri senator claire mccaskill holding the first of several roundtable discussions not -- on fighting rape and sexual assault on college campuses the panelists include survivors and leading experts. ive at 2:00 eastern. >> telecommunication policy had been been -- not been reformed since 193 will so there was really a compelling fleed in 1995 -- need in 1995 to begin a process of telecommunication reform. at that time up basically had boxes. a box for broadcasters, a box for telephone companies, a box for long distance, you know, cable, satellite, and our view was we had to come in and try to eliminate the lines of demarcation and promote compstigs, believing that with -- comple -- com pelt television, believing there is would be plor investorment and consumer cloice and in0ization and fortunately i think the result has proveous -- proven us correct and that's exactly what's happened. >> whether the 1996 act was written we were largely focused on telephone service. whether local or long diskansas -- distance. to some extent we focused on tv , cable tv service but th

so that story, the story of 2012, the story of claire mccaskill brings us to what's happening right now in north carolina. that's where democrat kay hagen, who is in serious danger of losing her seat this fall is trying to pick her opponent too. she wants that opponent to be greg brannon and it's easy to say why. he opposes abortion even in the cases of rape and inseft. he talked about the second amendment possibly extending to ownership of nuclear weapons. he also said that the supreme court has zero power of enforcement. so that's just a taste of greg brannon. that is the republican establishment's worst nightmare in north carolina. he is someone who could cost them a senate seat they would otherwise be very competitive to win. so of course the guy that the republican establishment does want to win tomorrow's primary is not greg brannon, he's a man named tom tillis. he's the speaker of the north carolina house of representatives. he's got the backing of north carolina's republican governor, the backing of jeb bush and as of today he's picked up the backing of mitt romney. all big repu

as claire mccaskill pointed out, michael sam could still be fired for just being gay according to missouriouri law have to say? the missouri legislature held hearings this march on a bill to prevent workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. so far the bill has gone nowhere which means, yes, michael sam could be fired for being gay. but missouri isn't the only state in the union to sanction discrimination. 29 states currently allow an employer to fire someone based on sexual orientation. and one of the reasons l sgchlt bt americans face discrimination on a state by state basis in over half the country is a familiar culprit, it is congress. last november, a bipartisan coalition of senators passed the employment nondiscrimination act, a federal ban on work place discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. to give you a sense of just how overdue that was, those senators passed enda 19 years after it was first introduced. here is what senator tammy baldwin, america's first openly gay senator, had to say at that time. >> for folks like myself in

meanwhile senators claire mccaskill and kirsten gillibrand are leading an effort for increased funding address sexual assault at colleges. well, long before celebrities and senators entered the picture, the battle against sexual assault on college campuses was led by students who have risen up to hold their schools accountable, sometimes facing sanctions themselves. students have filed federal complaints at columbia, the university of california at berkeley, dartmouth, harvard, yale, university of north carolina-chapel hill, vanderbilt, amherst college and occidental among scores of others. the number of complaints against colleges related to sexual violence has tripled since tracking began in 2009, with 33 in the first half of this year alone. most recently, the spotlight has been on brown university, where a student, lena sclove, says she was raped and strangled after a party in august 2013. her alleged rapist was found responsible for four violations of the student conduct code, including "sexual misconduct that involves one or more of the following: penetration, violent physical fo
