kay hagen, the state has changed. mitt romney won it in 2016 but he won it very narrowly.rd won it before that. this is a swing state and this is not arkansas, when we look at it nermz of the challenge before her. >> those other races, chris, we were reporting on this last week. the ad that markbeg itch, talk about the affordable care and markpryor is acknowledging his record on the affordable care act. it feels there is a pretty measurable shift in terms of attitudes about how much this was going to be political krip tonite, the fact that tom tillis is saying we need to have a landing pad for those on obama care is different rhetoric than this is worse than slavery. >> what's interesting about it, the dichotomy between if you say too people, what do you think of obama care or affordable care act versus what do you think of most -- if you go through the provisions that are in the bill, the provisions are significantly more popular than the idea of the bill, which is obamacare, what you're seeing is a pryor or begich trying to say, kids can say on the insurance until 25, th

we kicked off by talking about senator kay hagen. that's one of the big races in the country. it could be the tipping point deciding whether democrats or republicans hold the senate in 2015. so to have emily's list there not only helping kay hagen raise money, which they do very well, but also making contact on their own with women voters and trying to make sure that, you know, the type of dropoff voters that you typically see vote in a presidential year and not in a d-foremen -- mid-term turn out. i think that is a huge point. >> steven shepard, what is their ground game like? >> it is not just the ground game, it starts with their pipeline of candidates. emily's list, more than any other group, has been responsible for this inclusion of women in congress that the republicans haven't necessarily had. i think the biggest test thus far is for them in the u.s. senate. they are spending $3 million in north carolina. like scott said, they are going up on television there, which is not something they typically do. most of their candidates they provide training, p and mostly fund-ra

. >> host: unc professor jacqueline maria hagen. what's this picture on the coffer of your new -- cover of your newest book, "migration miracle." >> guest: it's a cross. and it's a cross on top of a mountain, and the mountain is situated along the u.s./mexico border. and it's symbolic of the many migrants who have died in their attempts to cross the border into the united states, doing so without papers, without authorization. and as we though from, as you may know and the media's told us, the numbers of fatalities, of migrant fatalities are increasing, and i think this year there are 400 depths incurred to central americans and mexicans crossing into the united states. so that cross symbolizes their crossing experience, and the title of the book, "migration miracle," is basically taken from the words of the migrants who often described their successful journey as a miracle. >> host: how did those 400 die? what were the causes? >> guest: the causes range from being killed by a smuggler to suffocating in the back of a car to asphyxia

tom till us, the speaker of the house, the republican speaker, is taking on kay hagen. >> this is the senate race. >> right. the polls are pretty close, deadlocked. with tom tillus he's basically been a reformer, pushing through reforms in unemployment benefits and school reforms. there's been a big blowback and kay hagen is trying to make the race about that. >> those changes have been controversial in north carolina and the legislature isn't popular. >> that's right. kay hagen is running a campaign against basically the north carolina legislature trying to run from obama. it's really interesting to watch her on stage with obama at the american legion. >> she's not running on her record. she's running against the state record. interesting. james, what are you following? >> it's kind of a consistent theme. democrats in red states where the president is not popular avoid talking about everything they've been doing in washington. i've been looking at alaska where you have incumbent mark begich, democrat. some say the most talented campaigner, savvy campaigner among the democrats defendi

kay hagen has been vocal in her criticism of president obama and the va issue. north carolina has a lot of veterans and a large military presence and so i think that she's speaking to that. and she's been hit hard. there is a concerned veterans for america has been hitting her hard in 2 million in a ds. and facing a tough republican challenge tom hillis. and she is in a lot of trouble. she is reacting to a tough political situation she finds herself in. president obama probably understands it doesn't help her to be seen with him. the state of the north carolina didn't vote for him in 2012 like it did in 2008. it is probably moving away from the democrats and certainly an awkward meeting in charlotte. >> we'll have to leave it there. thank you. >> a young american missing after going on a hike with a friend in jerusalem. the latest on the search for aaron. >> and a terrifying scene, students saw the driver slump over the wheel before the crash. >> do you think the government fully addressed the concern of the nation's veterans? our live chat is up and running go

hagen, a democrat, is in a tight race. he hasn't done enough for real and permanent reforms at the v.a. >> the president is going to get no love from the democrats in swing states. >>> some of the biggest stars in television, not including christine romans was on hand. it was a good night for "breaking bad." it got a final send off taking home honors for outstanding drama sere res. one of the most memorable moments, seizing a kiss. he was on seinfeld with her some years ago. wow. >> we almost used up all our allotted time. other winners include modern family. a record fifth time. outstanding actor in a comedy. won the outstanding actress award for her role in the good wife. there were a lot of laughs and high moments. emotional billy crystal paid tribute to the late robin williams. >> it's very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives. for almost 40 years, he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy. robin william williams, what a . >> loved hearing him. they were friends for a lo

. >> virginia state police agent charles hagen was on the stand discussing his interview with maureen medicaid. he said she told him there was a written loan agreement with johnny williams when there wasn't. >> to sit back and say it's not concerning, i would be lying. there is dear friend up there that is on trial and what i am hearing is quite concerning. as i said i just want to get what i have to do over with. >> reporter: virginia beach mayor and president of town bank william sesum was called to testify about loan application medicaids filed -- mcdonnells filed. prosecution says they failed to include the $120,000 in loans from johnny williams. >> let me go to my car. >> his brother testified he did a lot of work on the private home because johnny asked him to. johnny paid for the work but also said mrs. mcdonnell offered to pay several times. remember those oscar de laurento dresses johnny bought for maureen mcdonnell? she put them in a box and gave it to donnie williams asking him to return it to johnny williams. this is after she was interviewed and investigation began about

hagen is a democrat and locked in a tight re-election race. she says the administration hasn't done enough to earn the trust of veterans. a democrat blasting her boss. >> some of the biggest names in television, not including christine romans. they were on hand for the prime time emmy awards. it was a good night for "breaking bad." one of the night's most unbelievable moments. look at this. this kiss, 11 seconds, at least. from julia louie dreyfuss. he appeared on seinfeld. clearly had unfinished business to take care of there. other winners, modern family for the fifth time. jim parson's won his fourth gold statue. and the out standing actress for the role in "the good wife." she took a shot at the cable roles in support of her broadcast show. it was an emotional billy crystal paying tribute to his good friend, robin williams. >>> it's very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives. for almost 40 years he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy. robin williams, what a concept. >> he was good friends.

what and i've seen polls kay hagen one poll out this week showed her two points ahead of her republicanhallenger in north carolina. whereas a month ago she was 10 points behind. what is going on there? >> i think people are beginning to wake up. labor day is the start of any campaign. and when you look at it, many of the people have heard nothing but negatives as the outside money has been flooding into the targeted states. what you will see is not so much winning candidates making the difference but women voters. because traditionally women voters have gone to democratic candidates. there was a survey just done by crossroads which acknowledges this. talks about how the republican party is seen as out of touch and insensitive to women's issues that will play into the race more than any individual candidate. >> what about the other women senators? how is for example, louisiana senator doing who had is having mary who is having a terrible time for a while. >> i would never use louisiana as an example for the rest of the united states. they have a different election cycle. likely will go t

if you look and senators like landrieu and hagen, it's not clear that aggressive action on immigration would help them. it might help senator udall. that's one problem. the other issue, i think they are walking a careful line here where they want to do something substantial when they do it. by the way, the formal end of summer is september 21st. >> you are going by the lunar and solar calendar. >> not the boring old calendar. go ahead, e.j. >> yeah, but i think they want to be careful that they don't overstep what they think is legally authorized because they know the republicans are going to call to impeach him no matter what he does. they don't want to open the door to the attacks to make it easier. on the other hand, if they are too narrow, too careful, they are going to be hit by latino allies. this is a very, very hard thing they are undertaking right now. >> my question is, you mention the senate races, which is the hard space between the rock and the hard place set up. the white house long term goal is not to have republicans take the upper chamber and do anything to endanger de

. >> reporter: kay hagen slammed his v.a. medical handling but only after greeting him with a kiss and handshake at the airport. >> the president can raise a lot of money and he can get out his base vote. i would not underestimate the ability to get the base vote out. >> the president's unpopularity conflict democrats. they are distancing themselves from their agenda by strength epping gas roots and digital campaigns. while obama's former campaign organizing for action have been developing their big data campaign since 2007, the republican national computer just launched its first comprehensive system in hopes of digitalizing in recent years. no democrat is banking on organization more than mark pryor. he's opened multiple offices for volunteers to pound the pavement and their laptops in a state where gop challenger cotton is statistically tied in the polls and republicans out democrats. louisiana's democrat relentliless on him. >> this is a promise that you made. this is a promise you should keep. >> of alaska where energy i

democrats at risk in red states, kay hagen in north carolina, mary landrieu in louisiana, among othersghtfully so, that if the president does a unilateral granting of amnesty. illeap imgarages that it could cost the democrats and control of the because he was, until really the end of the week, planning to provoke a confrontation within the republicans over immigration, hoping that it would lead either to the republicans trying to defund the government, shut the government down, or provoke a confrontation that would bring out the base, black and latino voters. now that strategy is entirely out the window. the president has no clear plan from what we heard, to just attack the republicans. >> and he was literally walking out when a reporter yelled something about the immigration, and then he commented on it. >> oh, yeah. thursday he couldn't wait to get into this, because that was the time they were in their strategy of let's set a trap for the republicans. as dumb ago the republicans are, apparently they didn't want to fall into it again. now they have changed, but look, this is a presid

take north carolina where the state's house speaker is challenging democrat senate incumbent kay hagenn april, more than half, 54% of all issue ads in north carolina were spots attacking the health care law. by july, that number was cut in half to 27%. but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, i'm not sure what that means. just because republicans are changing their strategy, does not mean democrats will embrace a law that is alternatively been compared to 9/11, to slavery and to the holocaust, right? wrong. >> mark's insurance company didn't want to pay for the treatment that ultimately saved his life. >> no one should be fighting an insurance company while you're fighting for your life. that's why i helped pass pay law that prevents insurance companies from canceling your policy if you get sick or deny coverage for preexisting conditions. i'm mark pryor and i approve this message. >> joining me now is washington bureau chief for buzz feed john stanton and correspondent josh barro. i think this is a big deal. here's why, we have heard about the repeal of obamacare, how awful

this is a look at interstate 880 if you're driving down the hagen berger road exit, perhaps to catchlight. it's going to take you about five minute from dounlt. and on the peninsula southbound 101 at 380 there's a car crash on the shoulder, not causing a big delay, but you can see it's there on the shoulder along with some emergency vehicles. at 5:30, let's go back to the desk. >>> happening today san francisco says hello tol paul mccartney, good-bye to candlestick park. workers now busy finishing work on the huge stage for the final event ever at the stick. sir paul officially closes the old ballpark with a three-hour concert tonight and ktvu's alex savidge right ouz the stick this morning with a preview of tonight's -- right outside the stick this morning with a preview of tonight's event and a message from mccartney about the show, alex. >>reporter: yes. good morning to you. sir paul mccartney will help send the stick off in a live performance. it should be a packed house here at candlestick. an estimated 49,000 people will be on hand. i suppose you could say it's fitting for the

that is before we get to those vulnerable incumbents like mark pryor in arkansas, mary landrieu, kay hagen in north carolina, mark begich in alaska, then maybe shaheen in new hampshire, udall in colorado certainly. there are a lot of very vulnerable democratic incumbents tied to an unpopular president. >> if i might add, though, in michigan, what guy neglects to 0 tell your viewers is that the republicans haven't won a senate campaign in michigan in 20 years, so the odds of them winning the michigan race especially when the candidate won't even debate the democratic nominee, gary peters, is just showing you that they're running away from it and they don't -- they're not fighting hard enough nor do they have any plans for the american people by which they can argue that they deserve to have the majority, let alone a senate seat or two. >> guy, what about the fact about the michigan race? does it matter? >> well, first of all, that will be of the many races that i listed, which i think i've listed ten already, if he wants to focus on the michigan race, that's fine. a number of recent polls h

these include proposals from senators shaheen, ayotte, mcconnell, sanders, pryor, hagen and others. the differences among these proposals highlight the challenges and opportunities in endeavoring to repeal this legislation before it takes effect in 2016. but i believe we must find a way to repeal it, and i predict that we will. i i trust that our first panel will also address the broader context in which this provision's repeal will be considered including both the stress placed on the department of defense budget by the combination of congressionally-mandated budget reductions approaching a trillion dollars over the next decade, and also combined with the dramatic growth in the cost of military pay and benefits. the military services have responded to severe budget pressure by reducing force structure and end strength, deferring repair of equipment, delaying or canceling modernization programs and allowing training levels to seriously decline. the department of defense has told us that it will be unable to meet legislatively-mandated future budget levels unless it also begins to cu
