they i say that as a north carolinians. yeah anyway. i think it's very difficult for people to turn away from things that make them very wealthy or make their lives significantly more convenient that seems to me it's all the more important to understand that we have been peddling a convenient fiction often nonbut more on than off since the 1860s. we have been peddling this convenient fiction that slavery is an economically backward system and the sounds of inevitably destroying itself or in efficiency, inevitably collapsing. there is no reason to think that from looking at the history of american slavery which accolade -- actually grew and grew until there was this massive dramatic war and we can look at the micro level and we can find what seems to be evidence that in certain kinds of production, we will just talk about production. we wanted to talk about the way the way that slavery is used as collateral. certain kinds of production at maybe in slave labor it's more efficient. the case of the enslaved cotton pickers in the west are on

there said they popped -- bipartisan bill that would allow virginians to have the same rights as north carolinians. i have gone further. i would change the aca. i would have laid out not with sound bites but specifics on a cheaper option. i've laid out specific idget -- legislation that i would roll back some of the legislative overburden and i've even said let's go ahead and put in place the ability for insurance companies as long as there are consumer protections to sell products across state lines. we need to fix this problem not relitigate it. >> moderator: mr. gillespie. gillespie: the fact is we can have reforms that address concerns about pre-existing conditions that make health care more affordable. i'm going to put forward a positive alternative of my own on friday and talk about refundable tax credits and protections on pre-existing conditions but the 250,000-dollar figure came up in a senate hearing in the state senate and you don't have to go far in the commonwealth to find someone who has had their insurance canceled and lost their doctor as a result of senator warner's support for th

their is a bipartisan bill that would allow virginians to have the same rights as north carolinian said. i have gone further. where else i would change. i have laid out now with sound bites but the spiff to the specifics. i've laid out specific legislation. i would roll back some of the regulatory burden. let's go ahead and put in place the ability for an insurance company to sell products across state lines. we need to fix this problem, not simply really get it. >> the fact is that we can have reforms that address concerns about pre-existing conditions. i am going to put forward a positive alternative of my own on friday and talk of a refundable tax credits and protection. but the 250,000 figure came up in the hearing. and you don't have to go far to find someone who has had their insurance canceled and lost their doctor as a result of senator warner support for the affordable care act. and one of those people is with me here tonight, linda from chesapeake. she told me about her rare degenerative eye disease. she has an eye care specialist who is important to air. found out last year t

north carolinians need a commonsense voice that will stand up for the middle class, fight for the military, and protect the promises we have made for seniors. at the time when we need leaders, speaker tellis has built a reputation of dividing. he has gutted education, killed an equal pay bill, made college more, and said no to health care. he is campaigning on a promise to take that destructive agenda to washington.

sure they come up with ideas on their own to fix the issue to seven the number one issue for north carolinianis district to and across the country is jobs and the economy. we have done our job is carolina to make reforms to change that and our unemployment rate has decrease but there are plenty of various that don't feel any sense of recovery and we have to work on this issue. talking about women across the country they are very concerned with the economy the fact we're not creating jobs with so much uncertainty they cannot open up the company's two new employees. that is an issue. the unemployment rate has decrease. we have less in the work force today that we have ever had in history and that is a great concern teeeighteen should congress take action regarding guns? ellmers: in what manner? >>moderator: tightening reforms of registration i don't want to use the word scope that the sizes of the magazine's that we hear come up from time to time. ellmers: i am a strong supporter of the second amendment and the ability to own a firearm. this is a conversation we will always have. when did this

i failed to say she is a north carolinian, she went to un seat chapel hill. i did fail to say that. oh wait. i messed up my pages here. marcie cohen ferris is associate professor of american studies at the university of north carolina at chapel hill and former president of the southern food waste alliance and her book is the edible self:the power of food and the making of an american region. thank you to both of you. >> thank you for coming. especially on this rainy day. can you hear me ok? i think the fact the we are on the same panel, it is faith as far as i am concerned. i had an interest in the history of southern food waste. and interest that was probably sparked by the fact that my great grandmother, florence mcman roberts published a cookbook back in 1934 called dixie meals and i brought it. once you meet marcy's book and you will understand why this is so strange. she obviously had a sense of herself as a southern cook, her food is the daring coup and was a covert in the interwar years tried to claim this regional identity for their food. in a really weird coincidence, dixie

. >> the number one issue for north carolinians, especially your district to and across the country, is jobs and the economy. we have done an important job with state legislature here in north carolina, have done many important reforms. our unemployment rate has decreased. but there are plenty of areas within district two that are not feeling any sense of recovery. we have to continue to work on this issue. we are talking to women across the country. here in north carolina and elsewhere, they are concerned with the jobs and the economy, the fact that we are not creating jobs. job creator still feel so much uncertainty that they can't open up their companies to new employees. that continues to be an issue. the unemployment rate has decreased, but it is because so many has left the workforce. we have less our workforce today than we have ever had, and that is of great concern. >> should congress take any action regarding guns? >> in what manner? forms -ghtening of any registration, i don't want to use the scope -- the word "scope," anywhere along the line. should congress be involved? >

bipartisan bill before the general assembly that would allow virginians to have the same right as north carolinianshope ed would lobby for them. i've gone further than that. i'vi said what else i would chae the ac. i've laid out not with soundbites but specific on a cheaper option. i've laid out specific legislation that i would roll back some of the regulatory overburden. i've said let's go ahead and put in place the ability for insurance companies as long as there are consumer protections to sell products across state lines. we need to fix this problem, not simply relitigate it. gillespie: the fact is that we can have reforms that address concerns about preexisting conditions that make health care more affordable. i'm going to put forward a positive alternative of my own on friday and talk about refundable tax credits and protections on pre-existing conditions, but the two and $50,000 figure came out in a senate hearing in the state senate. you don't have to go far in the commonwealth to find someone who has had insurance canceled and lost their doctor as result of senator warner's support for th

i would not support her and i urge all north carolinians -- she has not been a good supporter of our tituents. look at our fuel bills and electric bills. look at the whole picture of things. host: we have covered the debates in north carolina as well. go to our website, www.c-span.org. you will find our campaign 2014 coverage there. >> the subcommittee holds a hearing on the use of government credit cards. witnesses well testify as to what they are doing about the misuse of these cards.

window of opportunity for so many people in our state because of his policies that have harmed north caroliniansator hagen went to washington and became a rubber stamp for president obama's failed policies, voting with him 96% of the time. >> you could almost, nia-malika henderson, go from state to state and give the democrats the hagen line and the republicans the tillis line. >> they're not necessarily a national election, this is the strategy that you've seen. kay hagen is very much out-performing what people thought she would partly because the third-party candidate is in there and taking votes away from tillis. he's got african-american voters down there who will likely support her. you saw in that there's a michelle nunn and david purdue debate. he tried the same line, the whole idea of tying her to obama and she said, listen obama is only in for the next two years, there are going to be many presidents after obama and we're going to have to have somebody who can work across the aisle and with all presidents that come later. i thought that was a pretty good approach to that attack. >> come

you see that in north carolina, one of the big reason s kay hagn is repeatedly ahead of her opponent, because she's focusing on the issues important to caroliniansthe republicans, they want to make it as much about president obama as possible. the what we did in 2006 when we took back the house and senate from republicans. but it doesn't seem to be working. i think public opinion is set in on president obama, but they're not giving voters anything additional to vote on in terms of appealing to an electorate. >> what i find in elections is generally the party that is worried that they're going to lose, say it's all about local elections and what's going on there. part of it looks to be winning, says no, there's a national wave here that's coming. which is it? >> well, look, i think first of all, you can tell which party is nationally on defense because the party is talking about local elections. second, i think the real question and this will decide whether it's a close race or not, is turnout. if you can look very, very good, and '98, there were certain districts where the clintons did a brilliant job of targeting african-americans and on electi
