i want to start in illinois. what happened in illinois? i want to listen to something that bruce rauner said. he is a republican who defeated pat quinn. let's listen. >> this is an historic time in illinois. the voters have spoken. the voters have asked for divided government for the first time in many years. we'll have a republican governor and a democratic legislature. and the voters have chosen to have a divided government not so we can fight, not so we can bicker, not so we can get angry with each other, but it's to find solutions. >> deep sighs from sally kohn. i've heard a lot of deep sighs from you this morning. this is a big loss for the democrats. >> you know, illinois was a big surprise. then again, i really have nothing positive to offer here on the case of illinois. i'm sorry. >> it's not pretty. >> something positive. look, this is something that seemed possible a few months ago, and then quinn seemed to have an improbable surge. in illinois and massachusetts, two of the most democratic states you can get have republican gover

and in illinois. the interesting thing is, you thank george, the man who you didn't know his name, in the book. >> george, i should mention, the short insurance salesman was the late rich. they did at least two c-span reenactments. i think that was in 1994. i credit george because george became, of all things, a great collector of stephen douglas material. so go figure. he has a wonderful painting of a young stephen douglas. he let me publish an early impression of another master of the press, stephen douglas. when he got to springfield, the first place he went to was the illinois state register in springfield. he became a friend and patron of the editor and vice versa. >> as we showed earlier, not everybody is all that happy with this group of lincoln lovers. here is thomas de la renzo talking about historians and abraham lincoln. >> when it comes to lincoln, you could criticize thomas jefferson, bill clinton, george w. bush, franklin roosevelt, but you can't criticize lincoln apparently in the histo

clearly, they are still building up washington, illinois. there is construction still happening. >> doesn't that show you how strong the human spirit is? these people got together to rebuild. this shows hope. it shows determination. it shows how courageous we can be when facing something so tragic and devastating. >> they all built basements. they built storm shelters. >> when something like that happens and hits a community, it's a community impact. instead of one house burning down. everybody felt like they were part of it. they all banned together and try to create something positive out of it. >> nice, clean and fresh. >>> guess what? gregory is our latest winner in the ipad mini give away. congratulations. he says he is stunned and can't believe he is our latest winner. you could be one of our winners if you get the buzz word in just a few. >> you are going to need friday's buzz word, be at least 18 yearsf age or older and a legal u.s. resident. >> beike winner. stand by for the rtm ipad mini give away. >>> as this video picks up, you s

charleston, illinois, 2:00 in the afternoon.e said, i am not nor i ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, not to intermarry with white people. there is a physical difference between the white and black races which i believe will forever forbid the two races living together in social equality. lincoln was a racist. a major-league racist. >> a major-league racist. >> he is talking about abraham lincoln in 1858. he is talking about a man who said those things quite intentionally because the newspaper editors who supported him thought that he was being portrayed as a radical abolitionist. when he got to charleston in central illinois, he had a major opportunity to save his campaign by saying he wanted only to prevent the extension of slavery into the west, but he didn't favor integration. i would say to not look at where lincoln was in 1858 but look where he was four and five years later. look at the letters he wrote to editors talking about the fact that once african americans fought for their own freedom, t

let's point out republicans won in maryland, massachusetts, and illinois. president's home state. we have a team of the best analysts and reporters standing by. our chief washington correspondent jake tapper is here. our chief political analyst, gloria borger, our cnn commentators are here as well. up on capitol hill, dana bash. let's start with you, jake. give us your analysis right now. a, what we're likely to hear from mitch mcconnell and then a few minutes later what we're likely to hear from the president of the united states. >> i think you're going to hear a conciliatory tone and mitch mcconnell talking about wanting to work with president obama and working with democrats in the senate. make no mistake. republicans feel as though they were handed this and they have a mandate that they were elected to stop some of the obama administration's policies, to show leadership where they feel president obama has not shown leadership especially when it comes to the economy. so while i do think it's going to be an expression of a desire to work together, it's a

and wendell phillips said of lincoln in 1860, that he was the slave hound of illinois. because lincoln had as a congressman in 1849 announced that he was going to introduce a billingi slavery here in the district of columbia. one of the provisions of lincoln's bill abolishing slavery in the district was for fugitive slaves who escaped to be rendered back. and, therefore, phillips said he was justified in calling lincoln the slave hound of illinois. and he called his bill one of the poorest and most confused specimens of pro-slavery compromise. and he went on to call lincoln, a naive, a huckster in politics, a county courthouse lawyer, whose only commendation is that lying newspapers could make him out of the emptiness of his past any character they pleased. well, this criticism of abraham lincoln in 186 0 by wendell phillips was countered by the most radical member of the congress who championed the anti-slavery cause, joshua r. gidings of ohio. and gidings had been in congress when lincoln served. he was the leading anti-slavery member of congress because john quincy a

this guy still won in illinois. the next governor of illinois. rick schneider in michigan, bruce rorter and it will not be close in illinois. the republicans look to pick up between 13-15 house seats, larger than expectations. the house majority that the republicans have will be the largest since harry truman. a key house race - the democrats thought this was competitive. it was a guy by the name of mike bost, known as meltdown mike. he shot and killed a neighbour's dog, and admitted that he did that. he was renowned in the legislature for freaking out, throwing papers in the air. the democrats got a crazy commercial, using the sound of mike bost. he coasted to victory in a competitive race. that is how big the wipe out is for democrats, what a big wipe out and gain for republicans across every level. >> you say this is an anti-departmentic vote. >> it's an anti-democratic vote, an anti-obama vote. the country is angry. people are infuriated at washington and are taking it out on the democrats, and some of the elected leaders. president obama can

in illinois the governor quinwas defeated. he was one of the few candidates that president obama campaigned for personally in the run up to the midterms. the republican businessman bruce runner will be illinois's first republican governor in a dozen years and in florida. rick scott won reelection and taking a victory over republican turned democrat charlie crist. that was a squeaker and a percentage point between the two men. and ohio, the governor's office remains in republican hands and john kasich is considered a 2016 presidential hopeful and he beat out democratic ed fitzgerald. and there is a couple of races that are too close to be called. we are watching alaska and vermont. and the pick up is four. and the democrats had one pick up made in pennsylvania. >> molly line, thanks. >> republicans say the strong performance is a clear referundum on president obama and his policies. here is the republican national committee chairman. >> all over america, their policies were accepted and embraced by the same voters that rejected

fracking is on in illinois as of today.gislative panel had been delaying its action, and refineries like this one had been eager to have illinois crude oil to refine. that hadn't been possible because governor quinn had been holding that up, refusing to issue permits. take a look at the study on this. what could it mean for the economy here in illinois? it could mean as much as 47,000 new jobs. 9.5 billion dollars worth of economic impetus to the state. this has been the case in places like pennsylvania and texas despite the law, the election down there, and one community, obviously both of those places, huge numbers of jobs. could this be a real economic boom in a state that needs it, liz. liz: okay, once again, let's reiterate the breaking news, the state of illinois has now green lit fracking, green lit fracking and this superimposed over a state like texas which had it for a very long time and, of course, denton, which is the first area of texas to ban it after experiencing. it will be very interesting to see, you see t

it sucks. >> stateville has long been home to some of illinois's most violent offenders. the vast majority of prisoners are in for murder or violent assault. >> it's hard, man. i mean, prison ain't nothing nice, you know, but it ain't like it's they fault, you know. you live a life of crime, this is where you're going to end up. >> stateville has housed its share of infamous criminals. john wayne gacy, convicted of murdering 33 young men and boys in the late 1970s, and richard speck, convicted for the murder of eight student nurses in 1966, were both condemned to die in stateville's execution chamber. speck died of a heart attack in 1991. gacy was executed by lethal injection in 1994. the last execution to occur at stateville took place in 1998. with such a high concentration of violent criminals at stateville, all i'll ill state executions occur in a different maximum security facility. until it's torn down, stateville's death chamber remains fully operational as an emergency backup system. over the years, a number of incidents occurred that still reverberate among the o

on a tax policy we know that tennessee, georgia, illinois, and massachusetts. passed in nevada it failed. so does that surprise you when you also looked as you just mentioned with marijuana when you look at who won the senate seats did voters basically split the ballot on these issues as well. >> yeah, they did. the reason these measures were there was going back to 2004 he put marriage amendments on ballots around the country. he got republicans to do it. and democrats said we'll do the same with taxes and with the minimum wage. well, voters turned out and voted to give themselves pay raises but voted for republicans. it didn't workout for democrats the way they respected. illinois voted to raise taxes but all the other states voted to restrain tax increases. >> different results in different states here. now washington state will pass an initiative that would strengthen background checks on gun shows and online purchases but in california they voted to protect the fundamental right to bear arms. what's your take on these issues? >> well, the washington state

the snyder district in illinois. those are pretty democratic districts but we don't see the dramatic ability to hold seats that belong to another party. what we saw in the governors' races were a little different. i think they were the most uncertain. there were a lot of significantly close races that were within the margin of error in the polling and i you would say, probably looked like because governorships were held much more by republicans that you weren't likely to see many gains. coming into the election we had 29 governorships that were republican. nationwide, 21 for democrats and 22 of the republican seats were up for re-election as well as 14 democratic seats. the republicans gained a couple of seats here. we knew they were going to lose in pennsylvania. that was a case of a particularly unpopular republican governor. it looks like and maybe henry has been following the last election results in alaska but looks like in alaska the republican governor will lose to an independent but not of the ordinary sort.

illinois wins 89-68 and improve to four- and- oh. elsewhere illinois state lost to seton hall. the bears are still assessing injuries to lance briggs and kyle fuller. football last night... the bills blew out the jets 38- 3 while the ravens beat new orleans 34-27. the blackhawks are off until tomorrow night in denver... but we want to send you to a game when they return to thewe're giving away a pair of tickets to a regular season game plus an autographed patrick sharp sweater. >> a sweater? >> you seen it. it's in the back! >>go to wgn-tv- dot- com- slash contests to enter and we'll pick a winner at noon today. >> how did you guys not know and i knew? their jerseys but they are sweaters. this is ever 90's girl dream--setting a world record for the largest pillow fight with former nsync member joey fatone. this is actually not my dream. 4-thousand-2-hundred-and-1 people showed up for the historic event. they scored the coveted titled of " worlds largest pillow fight".... beating out the previous record holders, by one additional person. the massive one-minute long fight was spo

in illinois this was an advisory referendum 60% of illinois voters voted to raise the minimum wage., that number was 65%. these are solidly red states here where you have a majority of folks approving of the minimum wage increase across the board here. i want to talk about marijuana issues here. in washington, this is a legalization on the ballot there. 70% in washington, d.c. in florida, though, narrowly rejecting, 42% said no. oregon and alaska still waiting for the numbers to come in. looking good for those. gun rights in washington state, there was a really interesting gun measure. two of them on the ballot. this initiative would have tightened rights for gun owners. and that was rejected, 55%. due process require for gun removal and no background checks. that was an interesting one here. but on the flip side, another measure, background checks, gun shows and online, 60% of what voted for those background checks. so that suggests some tighter restrictions for gun owners in washington state. i want to return to our cnn political analysts. pretty interesting this was called the re

>> well, it's not that big of an issue to me personally but here in illinois, we do have this advisory ballot initiative about should there be a millionaire sur tax and it will be interesting to see what happens with that as well as who's going to win our governor's race because it's been very close. >> glenn hubbard? >> i would agree watching the millionaire sur tax is interesting but maybe a different reason than austan. i think it's silly. the notion the country or the state of illinois will get out of their problems by raising taxes on the rich won't solve the issue. the sooner we can get to a real discussion the better. there are other ballot issues, mage is -- minimum wage is something to watched and taking the discussion away from the earned income tax credit we could be having. there's a lot of fluff. >> what's the most important issue for the economy, glenn hubbard? >> it is to persuade business leaders that real growth is continuing to be possible, that means trade reform, tax reform, things that really provide a jolt to the economy to accompany what the fed is doing. get the

mike boss is running in illinois. democrats made a campaign out of him. >> total power, not the american way. all the damn time. come out here in the last second, and i have to figure out how to vote for my people. you should be ashamed of yourself. >> he also admitted that he shot a neighbor's dog a few years ago. >> how could he run? let's go to colorado from illinois. >> that's a 9:00 poll closing. again may affect the control of the u.s. senate. >> you have udall against gardner. gardner has been running uphill. this is a state that could go either way. but the latest polls, the polls leading up to today really have cory gardner in control. >> and this is a state why women's issues are defining because udall has made that a campaign, gardner is pro-life, if he comes out, there are some polls that suggest that women are seeing past this as a cynical election strategy. there is also an interesting race in colorado. >> it's john hickenlooper, this is a race why immigration has come to the forefront. the president dec

it is the largest human trafficking case in illinois's history. >> this operation targeted gang members who sex trafficked children and young women, some as young as the age of 12. >> each of the ten defendants faces over 20 counts of human trafficking. >> this is something that we take very seriously. we're going to continue to work up these cases, use the tools that we now have, and hopefully we're going to be convicting the bad guys. >> but long before the lights and the cameras of a high-profile press conference comes the nitty-gritty of good policework. >> a lot of the public believe that it's a victimless crime. >> chicago pd sergeant tracy walker will lead today's investigation. >> the goal is to recover any juveniles who are out here being forced into prostituting. >> she says the real victims of prostitution are the girls and young women trapped in the life. >> they're not doing it because they want to. they're being controlled. every day they wake up to someone who is forcing them to sell their bodies. >> shortly after 1:00 p.m. the team rolls out to set up a hotel sting downt

if you are breathing we want you working in illinois. nobody left out. >> we are going to improve the economy, we are good to get the best schools, we are going to send this cronyism right out of springfield. >> in addition to the governor's race, voters will be deciding who will be going to the u.s. senate, congress comes the legislators and the county board. as well as several of valid questions that are up for decision this time around. if you have not registered to vote, coming up, i can tell you where you can still register to vote. i will have that information in about half an hour. live in lake. back to you. >> robo-calls. a number of chicago judges started getting the calls friday. they were told they needed more training or couldn't work polling stations. it gets worse...some were told they needed to vote a certain way to work. the calls could lead to some polling places opening up late because they're afraid to show up. not clear who's behind the calls. >> clearly an unauthorized phone call that did not come from the board of e

illinois could be next. joining me now is the reporter for the new york times. an upshot and the msnbc contributor. a man has been up almost consistently over the past 24 hours. >> roughly, yes. >> we'll make it very easy and talk about what happened in the states. marijuana are you surprised by the results or is it following the trend where our social consciousness is going? >> i'm not surprised. the results are similar to what we saw in 2012 which are narrow victories in the states. a few points over 50%. there was a big victory in washington, d.c., which sort of makes sense. it's a more liberal urban jurisdiction. it's a shift in the electorate over the last decade or so with a big shift in favor of marijuana legalization especially among younger voters. i think the trend is continuing we're likely it see ballot measures in 2016 in larger states including california. it's setting up a shut out with the federal government. even though marijuana is legal in the state it's prohibited by federal law. you have the uneasy tension between the two levels of governmen

we have a new governor in illinois.go is one of the few sanctuary cities for immigrants that's not a border state. so we have a huge influx. last year of all the new esidents moving into illinois, 40% of them, non-americans. >> they run out of money on december 11. failure to pass the budget could result in a partial government shutdown. will the democrats and republicans come together to agree on a budget before the governor -- former governor, ted strickland is with us. the house ways and means committee with key budget decisions. brendan, start us off here. >> the question on the budget. there are two items everybody agrees need to happen are corporate tax reform and personal tax reform. governor, can they be separated? can they be a attached piecemeal or a one-fix? >> let me say this. i believe that given the recent history of the house of representatives, there will never be in the foreseeable future, a willingness to even consider any significant tax reform that causes the richest among us to pay a little more. an

that's one of the reasons to lincoln's move to indiana and then to illinois. thomas lincoln was on several juries which was a sign of respectability. he was also a trustee of a baptist church that he and his wife belong to. the he sent his children to one room schools on several occasions. this wasn't for a long time. if you add up all the time abraham lincoln spent in school, it adds up to a year. but his father did send him, he wanted them to learn how to read, to write, and how did you simple mathematics up to a level of cross multiplication. these were useful skills and he wants his son to have them. but father and son never truly got along. they were not alike. they inhabited different worlds. thomas lincoln wanted his son to read but he could not understand abraham's passion for reading. for abraham lincoln, reading was both an escape and also an explanation of the world. it was a way to have an alternative life and to understand better the life you are living. this was something that was just beyond thomas lincoln scalped. when lincoln was running for p

he was a proud son of illinois. that's for sure. i remember seeing him so proud of his district, of his constituents. and they were all in turn as we are proud of him. my time back? the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields. ms. pelosi: i yield my time. thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields. the chair recognizes the gentleman from new jersey, mr. lance, for five minutes. mr. lance: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to honor the life of dr. clement alexander price. a shining figure in new jersey society and culture. a respected professor and historian, and a beloved family member and friend who died last week and leaves behind an extraordinarily distinguished record of public service. dr. price was a true ambassador for his beloved newark. our state's largest city. he was a widely respected public intellectual whose eloquence and wisdom helped heal a city at a crossroads, educate the next generation of civic leaders, and shape the decisions that have advanced new jersey. a native of the then

in maryland in illinois and in massachusetts, a lot of what they did was raise fees. these fees are regressive and hit lower middle class pocketbooks right across the top. that became a big issue in all of the states. middle class and lower middle class people felt they were now being asked to pay for these programs. >> and the symbol of that in maryland, the rain tax. it accepts -- to pay for sewer runoff, so they tax the heavens. >> massachusetts has a fee on tips in restaurants. >> kim, why the exceptions and democratic model for california, new york and connecticut, which has had some of the worst growth figures across the country? why can malloy eek out a victory, because jerry brown raised taxes p big in california but won comfortably. >> in california it always helps to have silicon valley and the money surrounding you. where you saw in some places, democrats still managed to use effectively some tactics against republicans complaining that the other side were people who were going to make severe cuts and do terrible things to education. the connecticut race wa

now, illinois was having the wettest summer then on record. it had rained for four and a half straight months. but that's a very depressive thought, because rainfalls everywhere. rain falls everywhere. it falls on us, it falls on houses, it falls on graves, you can't stop it. but if you're depressed, you think it's falling on me, it's falling on me, it's falling on mine, i can't stand it. so that's the name of the young woman, and that's what i believe he experienced. yes, sir. >> my name is norman arnoff, and i'm a member of the abraham lincoln association. my question to you is which has the greatest pull on abraham lincoln's thought and conduct, the declaration of independence or the united states constitution? >> well, lincoln writes an interesting memo to himself when he's president-elect, and and he never used these exact words in a speech, but it's -- sometimes he would jot down thoughts, and he might incorporate them later, or he would just leave them there. but in this particular thought he uses a biblical phrase that a word fitly spo

we are still the largest taxpayer in illinois today. >> are you committed to stay in illinois?othing to do with governor quinn or governor elect around her. we are very happily headquartered in the city of chicago, but our business is global. a big art of our client base is in new york. 150 countries around the world. we have 150 people on the ground in europe, same in asia. >> have you spoken with the governor elect? >> i haven't. >> obviously your business is a huge part of what chicago's identity, for example? >> it's a huge part of it. >> you mean deep dish pizza. >> i have not spoken to the governor elect. he's a very market oriented type individual. he knows what the cme angst of the state of illinois and city of chicago. rings to the state of illinois and city of chicago. >> you say you have a global footprint. do you have any acquisitions in mind? >> we did a lot of acquisitions in 2007 and 2008. we just opened a new exchange in london. we are listing more and more new products over there everyday. we feel very comfortable that we can service the asian community through

you look at illinois. you look at wisconsin. >> there you go, defeated scott walker in wisconsin defeated democrat mary burke. it's the third victory in four years for the possible 2016 candidate who beat back a recall challenge back in 2012. >> we're excited about the next four years, we're excited that they tried to do with the groups out of washington who wanted it to be against something, we were for something. we were for a better wisconsin, for a better schools, for a better university system. for a better technology system, for a better economy, for a better future for our children and our grandchildren. >> since scott walker weathers another storm the recall, this is a close race, a tight race, some saying it could be the end of his political career. now all that changes on a dime. he wins another section. people will continue to talk about him as a presidential candidate. >> and neighboring michigan governor rick spieder was reelected to a second term. jason carter, former president jimmy carter's

fourth quarter, illinois lining up for the game-winning field goal. and it is good.ny lions are 6-5. villanova hopefully earned a first-round bye with another win yesterday at delaware. john robertson with three touchdown passes. this is a nice one. the cats fight off a late delaware comeback. they win it 35-28. they finish the season 10-6. >>> after 23 years as penn's football coach and one of the best in ivy league history, al  bagnoli's quakers get him a win. they celebrate, they give al the gatorade bath. they wanted to send him off a winner. >> i certainly have appreciated this group, and all the things that they've had to endure. so they've been a lot of fun to be around. i told them that friday night. and really, i'm part of the class of 2014 i tell them, so we're all going out together. >> best wishes to al. college hoops, la salle won, penn lost. st. joe's taking on vermont. wilson is going to find him again. going to finish with a dunk. temple coming off that 20-point loss to duke, taking on unlv in brooklyn. team high 18, owls lose 57-50. the eagles hosti

a big fairly big-time corporate lawyer to put 90 today's terms, in illinois. and that's something that doesn't accord with the popular image of lincoln at all. for him wouldn't have been a contradiction at all. this again goes to lincoln's fundamental economic attitudes, which is someone who worships the rights of property, worships the rule of law, thinks in a properly functioning market there shouldn't be anything, such a thing as class conflict and opposes redistributionist economics. when a delegate visits him lincoln says not let him lose houselessness, but labor diligently to build one of his own. and under all this was a profound belief in the dignity of labor, and the right to the proceeds of your own labor. lincoln loved to quote the line from genesis, in the sweat of thy brow thall shalt earn thy bread. or if you grow the corn, you eat the corn. and lincoln believed any fundamental violation of this spring really an act of theft. when he's a teenager and his father is failing, his father hires him out, all around area for lincoln to go and do these i
