editorial report, i'm paul gigot. the school reform movement suffered a setback this week when its most visible and perhaps most controversial champion resigned. michelle rhee served for the d.c. school chancellor for 3 1/2 years. test scores improved and drop-out rates declined. she closed failing schools, supported vouchers for low income families and opened charter schools. she negotiated a contract with the teachers aunt beyond that includes merit pay and has become a model for urban school districts across the country. michelle rhee joins me from washington, welcome. >> thank you. >> paul: you said for reform to continue the reformer had to leave. with respect, that seems contradictory. why did you feel you had to go? >> well, the new presumptive mayor elect in washington, d.c., vincent grey and i decided the best thing to do for the city would be for me to step aside, because we really want to make sure the entire city now can embrace the reform efforts. certainly for some members of the community to have me con

paul and made a crack.goes, i can't believe you left the afrifricking air conditioner on. she goes no i didn't. that's when she heard paul scream and the line go dead. his months of growing fear had been validated by at least seven gunshots at close range. he never had a chance to tell all his doubters, i told you so. coming up, gunned down in his own house. were others in danger? >> we all walked around wondering if we were next on the hit list. >> police hear a conspiracy caught on tape and lea >>> paul duncsak's girlfriend he heard her fiance being murdered hours before they were to begin a new life together in this million dollar new jersey home. she called 911. >> 911. what is your emergency? >> hi. i was just speaking to my boyfriend as he was entering his home and i heard loud screaming and there is dead air on the other end. >> police arrived at the house that wednesday evening to find the pharmaceutical executive slumped inside a hallway dead of of multiple gunshot wounds. the killer, whoever he or

michael, welcome back to the program. >> it's very good to be with you, paul. >> juliet:. >> paul: a lat of people are comparing this when the republicans picked up a lot of seats. republicans picked up a lot of gains in the south. this year, a lot of the gains they expect to get if they're going to take back the house and senate are across the upper midwest. what's going on in that part of the country? >> well, i think something very important it coming on that the political comment hasn't figured out. when i was growing up in michigan, when you were growing up in wisconsin, paul, the rules of economic distress, the industrial heartland as you named, pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, wisconsin illinois. they move toward the democrats. what they're seeing in a time of economic distress they're moving heavily towards the republicans in a way we haven't seen since 94. i don't mean 1994 i mean. 1894. >> paul: what explain the switch? >> voters in these states have seen the effect of heavy government spending. employee unions deck tating public policy and acting in the view of republicans an

paul's completely silent. now, this suggests to us that paul had...indeed had a showdown in antioch. he did face off with peter. he didn't win. he didn't carry the day, at least not that day. so this suggests to us that james' party was influential, and influential outside the... its jerusalem jurisdiction, and that perhaps james' posse were there because they felt that their authority should be exercised outside of the jurisdiction of jerusalem. >> the blow-up in antioch over eating with gentiles probably is the turning point in paul's career. paul left and went to western turkey, or asia minor, and greece. for the next ten years, from 50 to roughly 60, paul will concentrate all of his efforts in this region of the aegean basin. it's probably ephesus and the areas immediately around ephesus that will be his most important base of operations. ephesus was a cosmopolitan environment. the inscriptions and the statues and the artwork and the buildings all tell us that this is really a crossroads of culture and religious life throughout the mediterranean w

>> paul: welcome to the journal editorial report i'm paul gigot. first, democratic barons on the ropes. you may not know all of their names but they run washington. in over a week some of the most powerful democrats could be out of a job after facing toughest reelection challenges in years. the ink deered list includes: john spratt 14 term incouple bent who chairs the house budget committee. skeleton of missouri served 34 years. observer starve minnesota in a tough -- observe starve minute anyone in a tough fight, chairman of the house transportation committee. joining us to talk about this. dan henninger assistant editorial page editor james freeman and kim extras sell. we keep hearing this a -- wave election, big event the kind we don't see often. what explains the vulnerability of a guy like skeleton less than 60% of the vote since 1982? >> there's a percentage that is higher than that he voted with nancy pelosi 95% of the time. it is fascinating. because he is very conservative, very pro defense, pro iraq, pro afghanistan. >> but the b-2 to the

i'm paul gigot. well, the school reform suffered a setback this week when the most visible and perhaps more controversial champion resigned. michelle reed served as chancellor for three and a half years and during her tenure student test scores improved and drop-out rates declined in the city and school vouchers for low income familiar letters, opened charter schools and negotiated a contract with the teachers's union that includes among other things, merit pay, a model for urban school districts across the country and michelle reed joins me now from washington, welcome. >> thank you. >> paul: so you said when you resigned this week, for reform to continue, the reformer had to leave. with respect that seems contradictory, why did you feel you had to go? >> well, the new presumptive mayor last in washington d.c., vincent gray and i decided the best thing for me to do for the city, would be for me to step aside because we really want to make sure that the entire city now can embrace the reform efforts

. >> welcome to the journal, editorial report, i'm paul gigot. first up this week, the politics of lying. lots of politicians do it, but when is a lie so over the line it should disqualify the teller from holding office. linda mcmahon introduced a new ad that raises that question. running against that state's attorney general richard blumenthal outed by the new york times this spring by lying about serving in vietnam. take a look. >> would you lie about serving in a war. >> we have learned something very important since the days i've served in vietnam. >> again and again. >> when we returned, we saw nothing of this gratitude. >> he covered one lie with another. >> and since the days that i served in vietnam. >> he lied about vietnam. what else is he lying about? >> joining the panel this week, wall street journal columnist and deputy editor dan henninger. dorothy rah bid wits and james toronto. and dorothy, all politicians lie or at least opponents accuse them of lying, is this ad fair? >> you mean fair being truthful? yes, it's fair. is it kind?

brand paul has no jobs plan. we have 10% unemployment and his plan is to say that workers will decide to take lower wages and they need a little tough luck. that is no jobs plan. again, i want people to go to my website. it will not solve our problems, but it will print about 11,000 jobs in the commonwealth of kentucky. a lot of people are afraid that the government is growing and that jobs are not being treated. we need to provide incentives to the private sector to create jobs in the future. >> let me interpret for you. he is for forced the employee -- big mistake for kentucky. it will cause the loss of jobs, not creation of jobs. the preventing waged in kentucky has caused our schools to be more expensive. be very clear what his position is. he is for the bill. >> you said some sort of mediation. the bill, as written, is federally enforced binding arbitration. would you specifically supports that? >> i want to see some sort of mediation process to ask them to sit down and arrive at a contract in a reasonable p

peter paul and mary. >> paul took over my name.lly, when our manager said, have you -- if noel changed his name to paul, you could be peter paul and mary. the sound was so beautiful. i said, well, i'll take it as a middle name but guess what? it works. peter paul and mary worked quite well. >> i was born -- ♪ i was born 10,000 years ago ♪ ♪ there's nothing in this world that i don't know ♪ i saw peter, paul and moses playing ring around the roses, with the guy that said it isn't so. >> so the sound was there in the folklore. we just did it. tavis: you guys are a riot. so here's the question, so i don't get accused of being a flip-flopper. >> a flip-flopper is a intelligent person who changes position when the circumstances changes. >> spoken like somebody that does it a hot. >> a person that doesn't do that either ignorant or sleeping. >> we refer to it as evolvement. reconsidered my position. >> or devolved. tavis: let me evolve to the question here. how did -- i'll start with you, paul, how did -- did the two of you become so pro

paul.e will bring the candidates out in just a few moments, but first, a little bit about them. >> jack conway is a democrat. he is 41 years old. he has a bachelor of arts degree but to university and is a graduate of the george washington university law school. he has worked as a legislative aide and counsel for the house banking committee as well as for former kentucky gov. paul patton. he also practiced law in louisville and disco owner of a thoroughbred race horse. in 2007, he was elected kentucky attorney general, an office that he holds today. he and his wife have been married for four years. they have one daughter and lived in little. republican rand paul is 47 years old. he attended baylor university and earned a medical degree. he is an ophthalmologist in private practice. he is also chairman and founder of kentucky taxpayers united. dr. paul has not held political office. he and his wife kelly have been married for 20 years. they have three sons and live in bowling green. >> the a

paul. mr. conway, your bottle. >> this issue, like so many others, is about standing up for northern kentucky. i would stand up for northern kentucky, central kentucky and eastern kentucky. i am looking for statistics where prescription pills went down. my opponent can't cite what ever statistics he wants to make up. >> sorry to interrupt, but your time is up. we will now go to tom a key who has a question for mr. paul. >> the international airport has lost 50% of its flights since 2007. it has affected passengers, businesses and others. what can you do at the federal level that will reverse this trend? >> we have to leave more money in the state. that would allow for more businesses to thrive and more people to travel. the airlines do face a lot of hurdles and they are on the edge. one of the things that they are concerned about is forced unionization. they are worried about the secret ballot and expanding the unions were only 20 people can decide about the unions. this is coming out of presid

i'm rand paul.ssage because government is the servant not the master. >> so let's hear, we've got conway people that want to be heard. tom, i'm starting with you. >> there is this, this jack conway had a political office in the state of kentucky for some time. he's done things to where people can be critical of him. and he -- he attacked the pharmaceutical companies and went after oil companies. rand paul is a guy coming out of bowling green and been an eye doctor 27 years, done nothing politically. >> rand paul says for $2,000 medicare deductible. most people on medicare are seniors. how are you going to place a $2,000 deductible on people that can't afford it?. >> go ahead. >> just the ads you're showing, they don't equate. if they're apples and or yanks. you've got a negative ad for conway and a positive ad for rand paul. >> we've collected ads just as we showed you two different debates ichl going ask how to make it clear for everyone at home. watch two debates. who is the more negative candidat

in paul kanjorski's district. registered democrats and a franklin marshal poll last week said 67% of the voters think it's time for kanjorski to be retired. >> wow. >> so, i mean, there's that as well. they feel that these guys have been around too long. >> kim, let's turn to the senate races, we keep reading that they're tightening and i think they are from our sources, some of the polls are tightening in pennsylvania, tightening towards the democrats, joe sestak, in kentucky tightening with rand paul, the republican losing some of his lead, but in the west coast, carly fiorina and in washington, they're catching up at least on the democratic incumbents, what do you see the reason for this tightening? >> well, the tightening that are' seeing on both sides, this is about voters, and now less than two weeks out from the election and what you've seen in a lot of the races are people who were undecided and now finally saying, okay, now i've picked high spot and it's going one way or the other. what you are not seeing

paul is crazy. i think some of his ideas are out of the mainstream and out of touch with value of normal kentuckians. >> chris: dr. paul, quite frankly, you say very little about attorney general conway on the campaign trail. you say nothing about hill in your ads. now is your chance, sir. >> we're waiting for him to catch up in the polls and then maybe we'll refer to him more. he needs to either defend his president or run away. so far he's running away from president obama and the agenda. he supports obama-care. he supported repealing the tax cuts before he was against it, before he was before it again. cap-and-trade, he has been on both sides of the issue. kentuckians are not going to tolerate someone ambivalent on cap-and-trade. cap-and-trade will be a disaster to our economy. and these are the issues of the day. these are the things that people want to talk about. people are concerned about jobs and the economy. if we pass cap-and-trade, it will be a disaster to kentucky's economy and to kentuc

( phone rings ) there he is now. mr. jack conway, now there's a guy i can work with in washington. >> i'm rand paul and i approve this message. i'd like to thank the one person who made this election juggernaut possible this year. it's the guy in the white house who is wrong on every issue. >> reporter: wrong, paul says, on government programs from disability regulations to education spending, from medicare to medicaid. >> over half of the births in kentucky are to medicaid right now. half the people in kentucky are not poor. we've made it too easy. let's not have intergenerational welfare. and that's what's been going on >> reporter: paul's numbers are off. state statistics show medicaid births at 37% in 2009 and the dis
