david axleaxelrod, will this pln peoria? >> definitely not. i'll agree, he's not faking it.. but i don't think people want sop ran os politics in the president. they want someone who will be thoughtful. i would refer the governor to all the kind things president obama said about leadership in his state's time of need when hurricane sandy hit and i'll leave it at that. >> i just think -- >> [ all speak at once ] >> i think he's the kind of person, tell that mayor he can forget his bridge! and tell that mayor of hoboken, she can forget that federal money if she doesn't back my water project. sounds just like the guy described in all these accounts. thank you both for coming on. >>> up next, what if michael jordan doesn't think much of president obama's golf game? wait until you see. the president has a much bigger defender out there on the links tiger woods. interesting debate here. and this is "hardball," the place for politics. introducinge cash card. it lets you earn cash back when you buy and again as you pay. that's cash back twice. it's cash back with a side of cash back

rauner: thank you to the people of peoria and the people joining us tonight. i'm here because i would like to work with you. i loved illinois and i would like it to become the best run state in america. i've been blessed in my career for terrific result working for illinois teachers and police officers by investing in the pension money and then giving back to the schools. the red cross, the veteran services. we've driven results and i want to do the same now to turn the state government around. over the last 12 years the state has lost its way. a small group of chicago machine politicians got control of the government in springfield and they led us down a bad path. high unemployment, crime, low wages, deteriorating schools, high on employment. we lost our way in the state and the need to turn around. i can't be bribed or intimidated. i can stand up to the special interest but i'm not going to take a salary or pension and i'm going to dedicate my work to to restoring the prosperity for the families of illinois and bring back the american dream for every family

thanks for watching and good night from peoria. .. c-span's campaign 2014 coverage includes last week's wisconsin governors debate between incumbent scott walker and democratic challenger mary burke. here's a portion of that now. >> overall regional people can disagree on this issue and i'm pro-life but i can only imagine how difficult it is for someone going through that really difficult decision to determine whether they will end a pregnancy or not. that's why specifically here in the state i supported legislation that would increase safety and provide more permission to a woman considering options. a specific bill leads to the final decision -- leaves the decision to a woman and her doctor. that was decided by the united states supreme court more than 40 years ago and that's something that doesn't have bearing directly on this debate is that they longer issue about the significant to health and safety of every wisconsin citizen does. >> moderator: ms. burke. burke: i think you should be in competition with her family and doctors to

that happened in dallas but for the next outbreak that can come to our shores and may show up in peoria or springfield or whatever, we as a physician and medical community, we must remain vigilant. >> to your point, doctor, there's a lot of misinformation out there. new polling from harvard school of health, 85% of americans incorrectly believe they can get ebola from someone sneezing on them. 52% fear a large ebola outbreak in the u.s. something that has a, you know, miniscule possibility of actually becoming a reality. 38% are worried that they or a family member may become sick with ebola. how do you strike that balance of assuaging some of these fears, educating people about the real very low risks that ebola actually poses to the american public without further stoking hysteria just by focusing too much on talking about ebola? >> who need to creation ebola with respect. the disease requires us to be very vigilant. the disease requires a certain amount of appreciation for what it can do if we do nothing. that being said, the disease is spread to family members and to health care wor

parents on edge this morning at an elementary school in peoria, arizona, after a boy in the first grade died battling a serious respiratory virus. some fear it may be the enterovirus but health officials have yet to confirm this. >> i am very concerned like i guess any parent would be. you know, at first it was something you just wrote off, you know, kids get sick. it stepped up another level when i came home and i found out unfortunately that someone lost their child today. that got me just on the enl of panic. >> this news comes as doctors warn we will soon see an extreme spike in cases. instead of national case counts growing by 30 a day, they're expected to jump to 90 or more. the reason? health officials had been using a brand-new tests that speeds diagnosing the enterovirus in children. they'll be able to process four or five times more specimens a day and get results quicker. the virus which leaves children struggling to breathe has also been linked to paralysis. the c.d.c. is investigating the cause of the symptoms. so far the virus has chaimed the lives of a -- claimed the live

from frank in peoria, illinois. >> good morning doctor. i was wondering if you could talk the concept of quarantine in the health epidemic. it would seem that years ago in the 30s and 40s that was of local in the hands here we epartments. already have seen a quarantine this epidemic with the nurse traveled infected and on an airplane. i've heard it said that the federal need to nt is going to play a larger role but that in terms of e tied quarantine. i wonder whether you think that is true and what you think in general about the concept of quarantine in this country. >> in terms of where the power lies legally you are correct in that most of the legal power at the rantine resides cdc e level. the recommendations about whether voluntarily of or with some kind external control, require collaboration from state i have not heard any cases of strong disagreements agencies dc and state about quarantine powers. in this case i believe it is out an abundance of caution and a very conservative approach to have people spend time at home under quarant

but if you have to hit crews out there, it plays well in peoria, as they say. >> and i think what has happened is that self identified conservatives and liberals go with it -- they will find news that affirms what they already believe. and that is obviously damaging to the cause that we are talking about, but fixing a broken system. the media itself is suffering from a systemic failure, and i think what is refreshing about -- and the transition here, but some of the new media ventures there we have seen is that there is a return to real news and non, you know, and is without the political -- you know, not seen from the political winds in the way that news is so often seen, especially television news, through the major channels the talked about which said documentaries and news channels. very old school in the new media form. similarly, nothing is more old fashioned. >> similar, but not as good. >> that may be the case, but it is explanatory. it is providing information in a way that can be hard to find in some of the traditional media. >> so to go back to me being a moderator, we have

incumbent republican in that 17th district, which includes parts of your young illinois, -- parts of peoria illinois. the two debated last week. here is a look. >> with congress, we are starting with you. if congress were to face more fiscal cliffs in the coming months, who you support a debt limit? >> my very first bill that i introduced attacked government waste and abuse, and not in a small way. it identified $200 billion in wasteful government spending. i think that is the place we need to start before we do anything. my opponent voted not once but twice to end the medicare guarantee. looking at balancing the budget on the backs of seniors in my opinion, where it would cost seniors each $6,000 in out-of-pocket expenses. that is not the way we need to attack the budget problems that we have. on top of that sequestration is a very, very dangerous place to go. here is why. that impacted this economy right here in this area by $100 million. we had workers who had to take paychecks home that were less than they were used to taking home, and their take-home pay was worse. they had to take tim

that democrats want to do is spending another $8 00 billion on billing a train between chicago and peoriag. >> well, i think there's a way to do a bit of both. i mean, we could do a sustained infrastructure program on projects that make sense, and do tax reform. particularly aimed at low income americans and the corporate tax. there's a enough of a constituency, particularly after the midterm elections, to get if done. i don't know why the president would oppose p. >> really? may just be sore losers after the election, glenn. >> i honestly think if the economy say stays in the dull drums, pressure to act will be there. lower interest rates is bit is not what it takes to reflay the economy. we need better fiscal policy. the pressure will be there. we'll get it. >> they do not agree, they will not do another round no matter what in your view? >> i do not see it unless we fall out of bed because it's not helping that much at the mar squl gin, and i think the staff knows that, and there's a concern about effects on the allocation of capital and the creation of bubbles, and so i don't see it.
