in kansas. reddest of the red states kansas. there is now a major movement under way within the republican party to support the democrat who's running against the state's republican governor. sam brownback. >> we're saying to republicans who are concerned, i don't know that i can support a democrat. we're saying, let's have some courage for kansas' sake. >> and to put things in perspective, how big a deal this is, take a minute to think of how staunchly a republican state kansas actually is. a democratic presidential candidate hasn't won kansas since lyndon baines johnson in 1964 and lbj is the only democrat to win kansas in the last 19 presidential elections. before him, you have to go all the way back to fdr. and this man, george mcgill is his name, he is the last democrat to be elected to the senate from kansas, and he pulled that off back in 1930. that's 84 years ago. so you'd think the last thing a conservative like sam brownback would ever have to worry about would be getting elected in a state like kansas. but you have to

how bad is it in kansas? pretty bad, chris, unfortunately, in this past fiscal year, we had a 7$700 million revenue decline, and you can compare that with the great recession in '07, '08 and '09 where we had a decline in three years. >> so in one year the tax cuts took out more revenue from the state budget than three years of the worst financial crisis in 80 years? >> that's exactly right. those are the figures we've been given at 700 million versus 600 million. in one year, it's a 600 million revenue decline. >> the governor was on with our colleague this morning. defending his record, this is what he had to say. >> this really stimulated investment, it stimulated people coming into the state, we've got a record number of new businesses, we've got a record number of people working in the state of kansas. so it's working overall. it's just these things take some time, and it's moving us on forward. >> what's your response to that? >> well, i don't see the growth that the governor's referring, to and when he

riley, kansas. >> never been to kansas before. didn't hear a whole lot of good things about it, i guess, besides being flatland and nothing to do and all that stuff. so i moved my daughter and my wife out to a little town called ogden, kansas, right outside of ft. riley. >> in the '80s ft. riley is home to the 1st infantry division, the big red 1. it's the oldest division in the army. with a rich history, lowery is happy to be part of. >> i thought i was a good soldier. i was moving up in rank. i enjoyed being in the army. on the flip side of that, the late '70s was a time in my life where i also liked to party. so i grew up with my friends in high school. we partied a lot. you know, we drank and things like that. and that continued to be a part of my life even when i was a soldier. >> and that's what eddie lowery is up to the night of july 26th, 1981. he's throwing a party at his trailer. but around 3:00 a.m., growing tired of the company, lowery steps out for some fresh air. he doesn't get far. >> when i left my trailer, aim i c

in kansas city, missouri, david smith, chief of staff of the kansas city, kansas, public schools, and peter capelli, director of the wharton schools at the university of pennsylvania. patrick, you touched on this just before the break, but i want to give a chance to expand on this. if there was a skills gap wouldn't there be a pay premium for people who hold the skills? >> the traditional idea that there is a skills gap, wages are not rising, and if there were, employers would be paying more to get those skilled workers. that ignores the fact that the skills gap is probably concentrated in particular places and industries. but even in those place wage wages are not rising all that quickly. they are in construction and manufacturing, but certain places, but fundamentally the economy remains subdued so employers don't have--the demand is low so employers don't have the money to hire the workers. it's not surprising that the wages aren't rising which suggests that fixing the skills gap won't solve our current labor market problem but does suggest there is a problem to be addressed down t

only clinic that does abortions in kansas city, kansas. they posted this.'re being forced by republicans to use our website resources to say untruthful things about the state's pro-life website in hopes you will visit their website and change your mind away from having an abortion. we must have this signage or go to jail. republicans also don't believe that rape causes pregnancy, nor that there can ever be too many children. they are stupid. let's vote them out of office. however, here goes." as the state of kansas newly requires all abortion clinics to do, aid for women on their website has to post this about the state's official talk you out of an abortion website. they have to say this. the kansas department of health and environment maintains a website containing objective nonjudgmental scientifically accurate information about the development of the unborn child as well as video of sonogram images of the unborn child at various stages of development, the kansas department of health and environment's website can be reached by clicking here. and the clin

by that time, kansas was a republican state. lbj is the only democrat that got the vote for president between 1940 and 2012. the state hasn't send a democrat to the united states senate in more than 80 years. 100 years an formation, kansas once again became a key player at a critical turning point in american history. it started in 1951 when the school board was sued by a parent by a student not allowed to go to school. if you head north from kansas, you end up in neighboring nebraska. nebraska is broad and flat. a mile wide and six inches deep and nebraska relies heavily on agriculture, specifically corn. not surprising for the so-called cornhusker state. the demographic profile is almost identical. eight in ten are white. nebraska is a solid red state when it comes to presidential elections these days but not so much when you move down the ballot. while kansas hasn't elected any democratic senator since the 30s, nebraska elected four including ben nelson who retired in 2012. the state's democratic party has struggled to regist

. >>> president obama made a surprise stop last night at a famous kansas city rib joint. mr. obama sauntered up to the koirnt at arthur brant's barbecue and ordered a half slab of ribs, a side of fries and beans, a bottle of water and bud light. the president then sat down with four americans who have written him letters about their personal stories of working hard to get ahead. you know michelle obama would not -- >> you would not want to cross her, that's right. >> those ribs look good. don't blame him for going in there. kansas city, great barbecue. >>> the main character is a popular youtube star. >> that's him.

beauty is bone deep. >>> what's the matter with kansas?e republicans are starting to realize that it may be their republican governor. after sweeping in to office with more than 60% of the vote in 2010, governor sam brownback embarked on a statewide conservative experiment. in 2012, the kansas legislature held by republicans slashed taxes by 25%. it also eliminated a tax on small business income, something no state has ever done. in 2013, the legislature cut taxes again. brownback promised a shot of adrenalin to the heart of the kansas economy. what the state got instead was a painful shot of reality. over the last year, kansas fell short of its anticipated revenue to the tune of $338 million. citing a lack of confidence in fiscal management, moody's downgraded the state's credit rating. and you now the state republicans are rising up in revolt. more than 100 republicans including current and former office holders announced they will support brownback's challenger, paul davis. one of them told the "new york times" yesterday i think sam's e

culture of kansas.le say from the coast it's one of the red states in the middle of the country. the political culture of kansas is more diverse, the idea of two republican parties? >> absolutely. many people, steve, look at politics of the presidential elections. what they miss is the fact that at the state level kansas voters, voters across the country are very open to ticket splitting. what you have, over the last 48 years, democrats held the governorship in kansas 28 of those years. you mentioned kathleen sebelius, were others before her. it's great he's doing the right thing for his constituents and the state. kansas voters, i found -- i was elected as a democrat in a very republican seat. democrats were a third party, more people were unaffiliated than registered as a democrat. yet, we were able to win nearly 60% of the vote because of what's happening here. a deeply unpopular republican incumbent who is out of the mainstream and a common sense democrat who wants to make government work, fund our

there is no memorable quote, in other words, because of ike's good old fashioned kansas modesty. he did not have the ego that spawned lofty sentiments. for the press or posterity. ike was a plain speaker from the plains of america's heartland. contrast this with his former boss, general douglas mcarthur whose i shall return was crafted for press and prosperity. the u.s. office of war information preferred we shall return. but lost the fight to the lofty macarthur. eisenhower's self effacing character is also revealed in his other d-day words, words he never intended anyone to hear. the words show he was far more concerned with taking responsibility for failure than with glory and whatever success crowned d-day. during that somber lull between the decision and the invasion, ike scribbled a quick note and stuffed it in his wallet. as was his custom before every major operation. he misdated it july 5th providing more evidence of the stress vexing him. and hiss subordinates. he found the note a month later and showed it to an aide who convinced him to save it. we have it in the libra

the president of kansas state college at that time, now, of course, kansas state university, milton encouragedavis to write the biography, so that at least one good one is produced, unquod. competing bikes were already in the works by 1943. it is an incredible job, milton told his brother, but it will not be deep. while he feared miller's book would read bike encyclopedia britanica. gentlemen, we will go ahead as planned. miller's account stopped on the eve of they invasion and omits ike's final words. the first of the byin bying on s appeared on bookshelves four days after we landed on normandy. unlike the efforts of hatch and miller, the davis book promised to one of real value and have real historical information. although ike would have qualms with soldier of democracy, he thought davis over emphasized class conflict. he approved his secretary's recommendation of the work to a man who had been quoting wanted to know what your thoughts were at 4:00 a.m. on that day when you had to make the great decision. additionally while eisenhower made 250 annotations in his copy of the davis biography

in the kansas city suburbs.people who want the bills paid and are not quite as ideological for example as sam brownback would be. so that's what you're seeing in the polls that have been released recently. this idea that the moderates again particularly around kansas city are taking a close look at paul davis and that's put sam brownback in some trouble in his re-election campaign. >> so the question is how durable do you think that is. are these republicans who come midterm election they will be, well, i'm a republican, i won't vote for the democrat, or do you think there really is something there that could have enough moderate republicans voting for the democrat in this governor's race? >> we'll see of course. but you do get the sense talking to some republicans of long standing in kansas that they are quite nervous about brownback's chances. they're not really worried about the attacks on ideology or what i might write or you say, but when moody's down grades the did you tell debt, that's an outside observer

two gop incumbents are still threatened, kansas' pat roberts and lamar alexander. very few serious tea party challengers have emerged on the house side. here's another variable not necessarily predictable, democrats are beating the gop in the money race. being the minority in the house may be the least powerful position in washington, but somehow they have outraised $121 million to $101 so far. nancy pelosi has raised more than 35% of that, traveling to 58 cities this cycle according to "the new york times." that money is helping democrats remain competitive. another advantage, there's a number of famous political names, as national journal points out. democrats in seven of the nine senate races that the koch report makes at toss-up come with a family with history in that state or federal politics. think mark pryor to mark begich who ran this ad featuring his late father. you have mary landrieu running on political dynasties. there's of course georgia's jason carter, grandson of jimmy, running for governor. and today florida house candidate gwen graham who both agr

his brow was furrowed as a kansas cornfield, eisenhower turned to each of his principal subordinates for his final say on launching the invasion the next day, tuesday, june 6, 1944. general bernard law montgomery who would lead the assault forces said go. admiral sir better ramirez see, the naval commander in chief said go. air chief marshal sir traf ord lee mallory, the air commander in chief said go. eisenhower stood up and began walking the war room's blue rug back and forth, pondering the most important decision of his life and the fate of millions of people and it was now up to him and only he could make the decision. he kept pacing, hands classched behind his back and chin on his chest and then he stopped. the tension left his face and he looked up at his commanders and said, what? well, this is where history draws a blank. what did ike say when he launched the d-day invasion and why is there no single memorable quote? well, the eyewitnesses offer answers, but little help. of the 11 to 14 men who attended the final decision meeting and that number, as we'll see is in dispute, o

kansas actually earned less. in 2013, people in kansas earned less than in 2012. at the same time in contrast, in california where they raised taxes in 2012, million dollar plus earners were taxed 3% on each additional dollar they earned. contrary to republican claims of killing jobs with tax hikes, california actually added over 410,000 jobs last year. their job growth accounted for a 17.5% of new jobs in the whole country. >> right. yeah. look, rev, kansas really has a revenue problem that they have created for themselves. now i read their bond rating is being downgraded because they can't support are their state on the revenues they are collecting. their education system, their infrastructure. california went the other way. again, if the facts don't fit your story you can make up another story in what passes for a political debate today. that's why it's so critically important that we try to just bring the facts of the case out. if you can't bring the facts of the case to a venue like ours here, it will be hard to support the kind of reality based policy agenda
