highlighting the recent study we broke down in the last segment our guest eddie murphy paul wrote inagazine about the importance of 24ird grade, saying, quote, it's the year that students move from the learn to read, using their knowledge of the alphabet to learning to read. what's at stake is called the matthew effect after the newest thement verse matthew 13:12. whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. no, that's not a mitt romney campaign slogan, it simply means that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and not just in terms of money. the matthew effect is real. matthew is true for book learning, too. can just one year so early in a child's life determine so much? joining me now to help answer that question and many more about this is the aforementioned annie murphy paul. she's backed up by matt siegel, president of ourtime.org and civil rights attorney maya riley. what should i as the parent of a fifth grader and take away, and maya the parent of a third grader, what should we take

murphy, we've seen a lot of different numbers on what the paul ryan plan would do in effect to increasets potentially to seniors, anywhere from 6003 and $50 under the old plan, different number, to about $200 a month in the new study. what kind of number 10 we look out and say this is what a couple look like because a large area of the budget that needs to be looked at? murphy: that's the kaiser family foundation study referring to that said under their plan 60% of seniors are going to face cost increases. this is something that needs be addressed and people look out their line plan and look at what's happened to. under the right thing which might opponent voted for twice which would be suicide to oppose, we ended medicare as we know. that's not the way forward. we need to reach across the aisle, do what's best which are medicare is there for generations to come. i was at century village talking to seniors. you could see the fear in their eyes. worrying medicare will be taken away from them. if not then, their kids and grandkids. we need resolution. under the affordable care act they fo

murphy and republican linda mcmahon essentially tied. that one's going to come down to the wire. >>> meanwhile, paul ryan had some trouble yesterday when it came to talking sports. kind of a surprise, he is a big sports fan. first he refused to support his home state wisconsin badgers in their future game against ohio state. it was actually a hilarious little back and forth between matt lauer and paul ryan on that front. then later in the day, ryan confused the two cleveland brown quarterbacks while visiting their practice facility. unfortunately he was talking to one of them at the time. >> i'm a big college football fan, my wife's from oklahoma. we've been watching you, were you really fun to watch at osu. you guys got a great young team. >> here was the problem. ryan thought he was talking to quarterback brandon weeden, oklahoma state guy. he was pointing and stare rg at the back of quarterback colt mccoy. by the way, confusing colt mccoy, a texan, and former texas longhorn with anybody from the state of oklahoma does not go over well in some parts of austin. >>> and now -- look at that. we got new graphics. it's one of those strange t

murphy to my left, i'm scott smith. if you're a fan, do you choose one team or cheer for both? paul wagner has the story on that. >> reporter: scott and lindsey, it wasn't all that long ago, many people thought the baltimore, washington area couldn't support two baseball teams. i think that argument has been put to rest. so, what happens when you live exactly half way between each city? who do you cheer for? nats, o's, or both? we went to laurel today and posed that question. >> oh yeah, i like to see both teams go. i mean, the nats just as much as the o's. >> what happens if they play each other in the world series? >> even better. even better. >> then what do you do? >> get a two for one jersey. half o's, half nats. >> how about you? o's or nats? >> i'll be taking the o's. really could care less about the nats. >> 3-2, and a drive hit deep to left field. looking up, way back, it's gone. >> i definitely see more national fans down around this way. but it doesn't matter where i am. i'm an o's fan through and through. >> no soft spot for the nats? >> not really. >> yankees could be a

paul ryan's remarks. pa the outliers are four races with their own dynamics. there's north dakota, a must-win for the gop. connecticut, where linda mcmahon and chris murphy are locked in an increasingly nasty battle. of course there's massachusetts, where republican scott brown and elizabeth warren are locked into win of the tightest, highest profile races in the country. then there's the wild cards like arizona, maine wrrks they could elect the state's first independent senator ever and of course there's missouri, featuring todd akin the senate candidate no one seemed to want until it became too late to get anyone else. all of these races with time and tempers seem to be running out. >> when senator brown talks here in massachusetts got how very bipartisan he is and how very independent he is, he's sure not saying the same thing wen he goes around raising money. >> i'm not a student in your classroom. please let me respond. >> she doesn't have a record to run on so all she can do is try to get the people of the state of wisconsin not the like me. >> you call that a conservative? the words have lost their meaning. >> the republicans gain control of the s

murphy. >> we have seen different numbers on what the paul ryan plan would do in the fact to increase costs to seniors, anywhere from $6,350 to about $200 a month. what kind of number can we look at and say this is what a cut will look like under this plan because of a large area of the budget that needs to be looked at? >> that is the kaiser family foundation study. under the ryan plant, 60% of seniors will face cost increases. this is something that needs to be addressed. under their plan, we end medicare as we know it. we need to reach across the aisle and ensure that medicare is there for generations to come. i was talking to seniors and you could see the fear in their eyes, worrying that medicare will be taken from them. we cannot let it happen. we need real solutions. under the affordable care act, they found inefficiencies and they have taken back away from insurance company's executives, from the pharmaceuticals, and given it back to seniors, this is what we need to do to bring down the long term cost curve that is driving our costs through the roof. >> we would now like congressman

paul ryan could be nervous, going up against a 40-year vet. >>> the next u.s. senator in connecticut is very close. the battle between the republican linda mcmahon and chris murphy has been particularly nasty. their debate yet no different. >> i think obama care was put into place to bring down the cost curve on health care and that's not what is happening. insurance premiums is going up and the cost of health care is going up, and we are going to add 10 million more people to the health care roles. >> let's fix the bill and make it right and not repeal it. you can't preserve the good parts while getting rid of the parts you don't like, and that can't happen. >> the two are vying for the seat now held by lieberman, an independent now retiring. >>> and then a drone shot down after it crossed into israeli territory over the weekend. nobody was injured in the incident. the unmanned plane was not carrying explosives and was not a surveyance drone. officials don't believe it originated from palestinian area. the immediate suspect is hezbollah, according to one report. >> and the focus domestically is now here, and the world is a volatile place, and the idea there sti

murphy, facing a lot of different numbers on what the paul ryan plan would do in the fact to increase costs potentially to seniors anywhere from $6350 that was an old man, different number to about $200 a month in this new study. what kind of number can we actually look at and say this is what a couple of look like under this plan because it's a large area of the budget denny's looked at it. murphy: at the kaiser foundation study of the cannot. under the ryan plan come to 60% of seniors will face cost increases. this is something that needs to be addressing people look at the ryan thing that's happening here. under the right plan, which my opponent voted for twice that it would be suicide to impose, we kind of medicare as we know it. that's not the way forward. we need to reach across, do its best to ensure medicare is there for generations to come. as at century village two weeks ago talking to seniors. you can see the fear in their eyes weren't medicare is taken from them. if it's not them, deftly kids and grandkids and we can't let it happen. we need solutions under the affordable

paul, looking at key issues facing congress. up next, "roll call's" abby livingston joins us. democratic congressman christopher murphynd the republicans were off in a debate number 3. what is this race looking like? guest: there are several polls coming out in recent days, but the best administered one shows that mercy has about a six-point lead with a four-point margin of error. host: how closely are people watching this race and did they think it was going to be close? guest: people are watching this extremely closely in connecticut and in washington. about a year ago, national republicans are not giving this raised the time of day. but they will tell you now that linda has run a very strong campaign, and they think this is serious. host: this is the first time she has ran. is she running a different campaign than the last time? guest: she has a completely different team. one thing that is similar from the last time is she is spending a lot of money. last time she spent $47 million. i did not get the latest report, but as of august, i want to shut -- say she spent about $30 million of her own money. that is having

murphy the democrat. jonathan, your question for the congressman. >> congressman, the newest paul ryan plan has an option to continue in a normal medicare plan to expand as possible given that we are talking about how much cost you're associating with this program that we need to cut. west: if you allow people the options to go into whether they want to have their own health insurance plan that they will go where they will go into the medicare plan when i can congressman, guess what, i had options and health care program that i want to have and i chose blue cross blue shield and i am the one that is paying for that and i think that the option that we ought to be allowed to present. and it's also like we said, indexed to work in come so if you are a high wage earner you want me to get the same amount of money as someone that is a lower wage earner. so i think that in the long run, what we are talking about is what everyone is saying to read all of this about fairness and all of this about those that are higher wage earners not getting the same as others. another thing that we ought to look at is raising t

murphy man into the line of fire to call for help. and helped to dedicate the ship in th ship, his parents, and they'll join us later. >> and rick is back from his paulyan-- how did you get down from the tree. >> soft pillow. >> i just fell. in southern pennsylvania, clayton's territory, beautiful, spectacular the fall leaves are looking great and feeling like fall and see that in your temperatures as you're making up much cooler,s the great lakes and the northeast than you were 24 hours ago. and this is where the changes ever. the front is bringing a little bit of rain and little bit of snow mixing in across parts of the great lakes with colder air this morning and maybe a few flakes higher elevations of pennsylvania and upstate new york, but for the most part. scattered showers on and off and cooler day, everything is remaining dry once again workser' in the driest stretch in seattle. a lot of fires we haven't talked about and significant fires and the dry air continues. i'm going to talk about the east coast and the changes are, and that's the cool temperatures tonight. 30's back here, we might see some freeze warnings tonight in effect. and then
