republicans demand it from everyone.emanded from everyone, no matter how exalted or protected his position might be. [applause] the growing menace in our country tonight to personal safety, to life and limb and property, in homes and churches, on the playgrounds and places of business, is the mounting concern of every thoughtful citizen in the united states. [applause] security from domestic violence, no less than from foreign aggression, is the most elementary and fundamental purpose of any government. it is a government that cannot fulfill this perfect purpose is one that cannot command the loyalty of its citizens. [applause] history shows us and demonstrate demonstrates that nothing, nothing prepares the way for tyranny more than the failure of public officials to keep the streets safe from bullies. and marauders. [applause] we republicans see all of this as more, much more, and the result of differences. -- than the mere result of political differences. we see this as the result of a fundamentally inept anndamentald

that they can win over people outside of the republican universe, outside of republican world to this idea that the president is over it is reaching with his executive authority. maybe it's with immigration, with the lawsuit. do you think they actually believe they can grow that perception? >> well, yeah. the president says 42%. that means this 58% of the voters out there have a negative opinion. so you have that. that's kind of a baseline start. then you have decisions like the supreme court decision this week which more than smacked the president on the hand for his appointment strategy or acting extra executively on the issue of appointments. yeah, there are small narratives that sort of feed into the overall narrative about this president and the theme that, he blusters about no cooperation and republicans not helping and not doing anything. at the end of the day, you know, where the rubber meets the road, the president is still falling short in the economy, on jobs, on a number of other things. so that kind of feeds that. the other side of this and it talks about the window that

republican leader.blicans had their run-off this week, david purdue is going to be their candidate. sam nunn's daughter, michelle running against him. when you look at those two states do you see one as a stronger pick-up opportunity for democrats than the other? >> if i had to pick and i think there's a fair debate to be had, i would choose georgia. i think it would be unprecedented for mitch mcconnell to lose, there's never been a republican incumbent who has lost re-election when a democratic president has been in power. in such a red state. >> voted for romney by 23 points. >> it's never happened. or it doesn't mean it can't. but you just don't see candidates lose in the situation very often. on the other hand i would wonder whether the old democratic pathway in kentucky, which usually goes through big margins still holds up. i think you see it in the recent presidential elections as well as the senate results where mitch mcconnell did much better in coal country in 2008 than bill clinton did in '96

but let's not forget this is a republican strategy, written by republicans to hire a bunch of republicanawyers to sue a democratic president. >> congressman steve israel, good to have you on. thanks so much for your time tonight. the vote taking place coming up here at the bottom of the hour. coming up, a former republican rising star sees his day in court on corruption charges. the trial has started. rapid response panel weighs in on bob mcdonnell corruptions trial. but first, president obama weighs a huge move on immigration, why this decision is too big for one man to take on. stay tuned we're right back. this is the first power plant in the country to combine solar and natural gas at the same location. during the day, we generate as much electricity as we can using solar. at night and when it's cloudy, we use more natural gas. this ensures we can produce clean electricity whenever our customers need it. ♪ but they have to use special care in keeping the denture clean. dentures are very different to real teeth. they're about 10 times softer and may have surface pores where bacteria ca

republican from indiana who had since been driven out by the tea party republicans. you know, the republicans that he was thinking about when he gave the speech saying there's no red america, there's no blue america, there's the red, white, and blue america, is not a republican party anymore. now it's a republican party that wants to talk about impeaching this president. >> let's talk about that from both sides and be down the middle here. there are two points of view you hear all the time. one is it's obama's fault because he's not a schmoozer. we'll get to the bad guy's side in a minute. you, now, speak on television, speak in a big room, but you're renowned for the backroom stuff. is that something we didn't see? >> i think he's without that kind of a skill. and america probably now knows that. he's not a good fighter. he really does start with what ought to be the end of process, where he's convinced everybody to buy in. he starts with the ideal, and the ideal never, never, never comes off if you begin with it. you have to work, you have to build toward it. he do

the next most unpopular republican that we tested among republicans is ted cruz. now, christie's path to the nomination has always been his crossover appeal, his ability to argue that he can win some democrats and independents. but that's where this ongoing bridge mess in his state has dragged him down with those middle of the road voters. he's actually now eight points under water among independents in iowa. remember iowa is a swing state in presidential elections, barely even among independents in new hampshire who a year ago looked like the perfect constituency for any presidential candidacy for christie. the bridge story shows no signs from going away. just about an hour from now, christie's incoming chief of staff is scheduled to testify under subpoena on the bridge mess before a joint legislative committee. yesterday, by the way, christie again denied any wrongdoing. >> someone went rogue on my watch. now listen, i'm accountable for that, and if you haven't watched what's been going on the last six months, i think there's been a decent amount of accountabili

let me ask you about republicans and compassion. unity top republicans are staking out positions to appeal for a more compassionate approach. rand paul is making a speech to the national urban league on reforming the criminal justice system. yesterday, house budget chairman ryan talked about steps to reduce poverty and a couple of those echoed proposals the president made to increase tax credit for the working poor and to lower the eligibility age. of both themake ryan proposals and the more general shifts and republican approach? does it matter? will it have any impact come 2014 or 2016 in your view? >> it's a positive step to have republicans engaging in a conversation about the working entire 2012had an campaign where republicans adamantly refused to talk about "47%." the theme of the thosessman ryan endorses measures supported by the president and also marco rubio. paul ryan in his proposal endorses some of the criminal justice reforms that the president has talked about. >> my boss is calling to say i've been laid off. i'm sorr

texas republican politics are too toxic for the national republican party. the texas politics are too toxic for the national republican party. and whether it falls that way or not on partisan lines, right now more than ever. texas politics do actually happen to be our national politics as a country. and that is mostly because of the border crisis. that's why president obama was in texas today, he was in dallas today. he did not want to go to the american border with mexico in texas, did not want to go to the border itself, because trying to find a solution to the border crisis isn't theater. that's what the president said about that today, he said today that he was not interested in photo ops at the border, he's interested in solving the border problem. the president did take a big chunk of his day today to meet with both republican governor rick perry of texas and also local officials from dallas about how to move forward on this issue of what's happening on the border. you know what, having this meeting in dallas specifically out of all the cities where th

that tells you, ed, where the republican priorities are. they are on process and lawsuits and talking to the base about impeaching the president. not about jobs and wages. again, i want to stress the fact that elections have consequences and we democrats in the house have laid out our agenda for first 100 days. if the american people give us the opportunity to move forward, we will vote on the minimum wage and vote on that jobs plan and vote on closing the tax breaks that encourage jobs overseas and invest moneys on infrastructure here at home and invest on when women succeed america succeeds. that's a positive agenda. all the republicans got is suing the president and talking about impeachment. >> chris van hollen, great to have you with us. i appreciate your time. >> you too. >> interesting week, no doubt. >> you bet. let me bring in dr. michael eric dyson. 57%, is that a high number? >> certainly among the republican faithful we would expect the tea party inspired towards the president to full meant in kind of resistance. 33% of want to

republicans wanted him to do. last night, they released a draft resolution saying the lawsuit against the president will focus on changes to the patient protection and the affordable care act. speaker boehner claims the president violated the constitution when he delayed health law's mandate for businesses without getting the go ahead from congress first. in an irony worthy of alanis more i set, the house gop is planning to sue the president over delaying the employer mandate. they voted themselves to delay the employer mandate a year ago next thursday. potentially more problematic for the gop than spending taxpayer money suing the president over something they agree with in presence pell is the fact that their latest assault of the health law comes amongst strongest evidence yet that the health care law is working, and people like it. even republicans. for a picture of what the president's alleged lawlessness has wrought, how about a rate of uninsured americans. that's down to 13.4% in the gallo

the republican party has no room right now for moderates, for the centrist republicans.re a trade to lose their primaries and since they're afraid to lose the primary, they're moving to the right. >> do you think the president should do something when it comes to executive orders on immigration at any level? should the president take action and be aggressive on this and how would that play into the midterms? >> well, it seems to me that that's the only thing that can be done in washington right now is for the president to do the executive orders because congress is broken. they can't get anything done. they're trying to do a quick fix here, a little band-aid on a huge problem when the reality is that what they should do is a com pro henprehensiv comprehensive, immigration reform and he's making decisions but then congress doesn't want him to make decisions and then they want him to make decisions. the gop just can't seem to get it right. they can't seem to get it straight. >> so ana, in florida, your take on this, who is the political loser here at this hour for florida

can republicans win in 201.hey have the same hard line on immigration when they lost two-thirds of the latino vote in 2012 and 2008? >> rick perry knows as well as anyone and probably better how bad the long-term politics of a hard line on immigration are for republicans. it's interesting if you look at the way the sort of texas republican party moved away from rick perry, rick perry when he entered the 2012 race remembered the rap on him he was a crazy anti-washington tea party right winger but yet a moderate position on immigration, the texas republican party had a moderate position on immigration but this year we have seen the new lieutenant governor nominee in texas and all the way down the slate of the republicans who are now in power in texas are much more hard line. the party moved way to the right and that's going back to the convention part of the reason that the national republican party does not now want to be associated with the brand of the texas gop is because they have now taken this very hard sta

the standard republican position is to hell with the rules of the don't know of the republicans the samethe hell these eight with these eight slightly what they're saying i mean if you're going to do away with the child strategy in the us or live you know there's a big difference between what i have a job so says for people second that with assassins go home and i i would bet that most of those protesters actually aren't registered republicans i mean here's the thing that this is the shining city on the hill people want to get here we want people to come and i think the true republican position has been we want immigration and we want it to work correctly why was it that immigration reform bill passed the sun when the republican votes john boehner refuses to bring it to a vote on the floor of the house of representatives if republicans actually want immigration reform that republicans agree with in the united states senate in an election year for god's sake why will john boehner not bring that to the fore of the issues you have a wing of the republican party just as you have a wing of th

think very similarly to other republicans.hen you include those independent leaners in with the partisan you're left with only 10% or less of the actual electorate who are truly independent, who have no preference for a party. so in fact, we've had analect rate today that is very strongly partisan, and the results of elections show that same thing. i would also like to somewhat take exception to a point that was made about growing consistency and extremism. i think that this increase in consistency over time is very significant politically, and, in fact, it's the same thing that we see in congress. the reason democrats and republicans in congress are pulling apart is because they're voting more consistently. now they get a lot of cues of how to vote, and voters will be asked survey questions don't. the consistency within the electorate is actually very significant, and it's precisely those consistent democrats and consistent republicans or consistent conservatives and consistent liberal who is intensely dislike the other party

the public says no, the republican party says yes, the public shuts down.think they would go forward with this? >> what's been happening since last summer is, you've had republican members of congress actively and publicly saying they would want to impeach the president. the one thing they would always follow that up with is because the democrats control the senate, we probably wouldn't be able to convict. my contention is, if the republicans take the senate in the midterm elections, there will be such pressure on speaker boehner to bring up articles of impeachment. >> they wouldn't have the two thirds needed to convict? >> right, impeachment is a two step process, you only need a simple majority of the members of the house to impeach. you need then to go to the senate where you need two thirds of the senate or 67 votes to convict. for a lot of these people who want to impeach the president, the first step is enough. they don't need a conviction, they're so desperate to put an asterisk next to the name of the president to successfully impeach the guy, no ma

>> is good the republicans are engaging in a conversation about the working poor and trying to republicans adamantly refused to talk about that in the last election. there are potential areas for compromise in both ryan's proposal in which he proposes measures supported by the president. paul ryan has proposed endorsing some of the criminal justice reforms the president has talked about. >> my boss just called, i have been laid off. >> in his conversation will be very useful for you. the challenge here is, the ryan proposals are still in the context of a budget that chooses balance a budget on the backs of the poor and those who need assistance. we need a fundamental shift in republican thinking. we can look for compromise if they choose to join the conversation on a different level. i don't think rhetoric is going to get -- i think you can say this basket of issues and at the same time support national cuts to medicaid and food stamps and turning medicare into vouchers. that will supersede your rhetoric. there's a fundamental recognition in the republican party, at least among some, that

this say republican health seat. the republican leader, alan grants his democratic challenger a red state, they haven't sent a democrat to the senate since 1992 yet manu, alison grimes calls on help from the massachusetts liberal elizabeth warren this week. how does elizabeth help in a reliably red state? >> it's motivating the base. she speaks to the younger voters, the people that alison grimes needs to get out to the polls. this state overwhelmingly rejected barack obama last year and even though this is conservative state, this is the majority democratic registration state. there's still a lot of democratic voters in pockets like louisville and lexington, where elizabeth warren does speak to the crowd and she speaks to younger voters, people she can talk about populist issues, railing against the big banks, things that are not super controversial and she's being used in red states this year, places where she can go where the president clearly cannot. >> is that a sign of her strength or is it a sign alison grimes

narrowly republican. issue 3. gross criminal product. >> about 10 billion in total. 5 and a half of that prostitution, 4 and a half drug stealing. that's how we get to the $10 billion. just in context, that's about 3/4s percent size of the rest of the economy. >> crime counts at least in the european union. starting in september, eu governments will begin adding the tally of consensual criminal transactions like drug dealing and prostitution to official government statistics on gross domestic product. britain estimates a 3/4ths of 1% boost to its gdp. 10 billion pounds. $16.8 billion. italy calculates 8.9% of its total gdp stems from illicit sex and drugs. so a preliminary estimate of the total for the 28-member european union is 18.6% of the eu's 17 trillion gdp. not everyone is pleased by the eu's gdp change. quote, prostitution is not a voluntary commercial activity. unquote. french minister for women's rights wrote in protest to the european commission, calling the change, quote, an insult to the millions of v

if african-americans in mississippi voted republican for the first time, maybe they'll vote republicann. that would be good for the republican party. maybe. but for a large and vocal win of the mississippi republican party and for their conservative supporters around the country, voting by large numbers of black people remains suspicious enough to be considered illegal from the get-go. we are 50 years on now from the civil rights act almost exactly. that is still the confidence about mississippi in politics today. politics today. amazing and it's not over. "first look" is up next. >>> good wednesday morning. right now on "first look," they are on countless corners around the country. not like that. a philly food truck explodes. how dangerous are they? >>> not welcome here a. group of angry protesters block buses as the influx of kids grows. >>> the u.s. soccer team eliminated from play in one of the most exciting matches. >>> serena williams drops out with an illness. white house salaries revealed and much, much more. hello. good morning and thanks for joining us. m

republicans wanted to give eric cantor an edge. packing more republican voters into his district.wo republican would be in an even safer ticket. great idea, right? not exactly. as you know, despite republicans' best efforts to pick their constituents to suit their agenda, the voters actually had ideas of their own. they decided cantor wasn't conservative enough and last month they tossed him out of office picking a little known tea party college professor, dave brat. gerrymandering, redrawing a district to shape election outcomes, was a big flop for cantor. but you can see why he tried it. brazen political redistricting has helped the gop keep control of the house. this is important. regardless of what voters might prefer in many parts of the country. you wouldn't know it from looking at the house today, but it was actually democrats who got 470,000 more votes than republicans in 2012 house races. yet republicans didn't just eke out a majority. they won 35 more seats in the house. this is the kind of thing that turns people off of politics or makes you wonder how's this even legal

the honest republican liberalism. with the accommodating the mainstream of republican principles. july 14th. those weren't cheers. those were jeers. the goldwater manager who had the nomination walked out and the platform, they had the nomination. the one thing they wanted to guard against was some kind of unperceived incident that would damage their chances, which were already, you know, a locking shot going in to the fall campaign, cliff white sitting his trailer, the mastermind behind goldwater recognized this is what they were afraid of he tried to shut it down. mohegan sun were too strong. >> our guest is richard norton smith coming out with a new book on nelson rockefeller. it will be released this fall. until researching this lengthy biography, if he were alive today, would he recognize the current republican party? >> i think he would recognize it, but i think he would also be warning against what he saw as extremism. you know, rockefeller came from a tradition of theodore roosevelt tradition as a boy in new york. he sat on it. r's lap and this did a chat. he saw himself i

last week the republicans filibustered a bill that there were 26 republican cosponsors. that's a new one. more than half of the republican senators put their name on a bill and then turned around and voted against it. and with this provision in the health care law, house republicans are ignoring the fact that they gave president george w. bush a pass for doing the exact same thing, delaying a specific provision of a congressionally passed health care law. then president bush through executive order waived medicare part-d pents for enrollment -- penalties for enrollment after the deadline. did he this by executive order. house republican leadership in the house didn't consider suing president bush for his administration of the health care law, so they chose now to do this. why? because it's obama. while republicans accuse president obama of executive overreach, they neglect the fact that he issued far few executive orders than any president in the last few years. george w. bush yiewrd 291 -- issued 291. president clinton issued 364. president reagan is the record holder,

this would not be in constitutional crisis if republicans were tougher on republicans. we have to be careful how we push our ideas forward. we have not had a committee markup and have not gone through the regular order process. it.,", "take it or leave that is not the way we like to operate. we want to bring a bill based on the rules. camp spent two years working on a tax reform alternative and cannot get it to the floor for a vote, either. this is us working together with others to move through the process. if the process leads to a bad product -- this is a good product. i want to see it move through regular order. >> the difference between health care reform and tax reform is that at the annual conference retreat, there was an ironclad commitment by leadership to get a vote on a health alternative this year in 2014 and now, you are only looking at a few dozen legislative days remaining before the elections. is it feasible to expect that promise? creepy. it feels like you are looking into my heart and getting all of my hopes and passions. we made a commitment to do som

we don't need one single republican to risk their reelection effort, and we don't need one single republican to come unwillingly. happily, joyfully, with good conscience, they can come, and we can pass and settle this issue. >> you have called the republican opponents petty and mean-spirited. do think there's also some racism involved in this? >> look, i will say this. i will speak from personal perspective. when i see this children, i see my own daughters. i can't help but see them. it is who i am, it is part of the tradition i have as a human being. i see my nieces and nephews. i just wonder, don't you see your children and other children in the same? that is what this is all about. secondly, 40% of all the undocumented people, 40% of them never crossed that border. they came here legally to the united states. there are 5 million of them. they overstayed their visas. why do we only talk about the border? why is it everybody -- every time we talk about the border is about criminals and disease. why can't we talk about the wonderful economic impact and hundreds of thousands of jobs that mexi

just moments ago house republicans voted twenty five to two a one all the republican. five to move forward john boehner is frivolous lawsuit against president obama this be enough to appease far writers who are still calling for the president's impeachment that and more in tonight's lone liberal rumble also fox so-called news is steve doocy must have been living under a rock for the past few weeks because he's way off about all the impeachment talk in washington and on his own show more on that in tonight's politically correct and new analysis by climate journalist sam khurana suggest the global sea levels could rise by almost eight feet by twenty forty but could a new plan put forward by a maryland congressman be enough to stave off this apocalyptic scenario before it's too late or on that incites daily take. you need to know this no labels is no good back in two thousand and ten a bunch of veteran political. hacks and wealthy donors came together to form the group no labels the founding mission of the group was quote to move america from the old politics of points to

try to reach out to the moderate republicans? >> i've supported moderate republicans.ey're ones that opposed me on different things, and so i don't -- i don't know i'll support those who have opposed me in different matters. >> could you support any of the republicans -- let me ask you this. can you support anybody that voted against your tax plan? any of the republicans that voted against your tax plans? absolutely. absolutely. what we're trying to do is get things moving forward near here in the state we've had a lot of job loss. we've lost private sector jobs last decade in this state. lost them. now we have a gain of 52,000. we're moving it in the right direction. and we haven't been able to get any of this information really out. the media has been very negative over all in this state. now we gate chance to advertise and put those things. >> let me ask you the basic question you ask anybody running for another term. what is the big accomplishment you want to make in the second term if you get one? >> hit the accelerator on what we're doing. more job creation, more

and 18% of republicans say yes.esus actually had something to say about taxation according to the apostle paul, who gave us this version of jesus' thoughts about taxes. this is why you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of god devoting themselves to this very thing. pay too all their due. taxes to whom taxes are due, toll to whom toll is due, respect to whom respect is due. honor to whom honor is due. jesus issued no warning about higher taxes hurting our precious job creators. coming up in our summer -- in summertime, our gaze often turns to the ocean and many of you worries about what lies beneath. jacque cousteau's grandson will join us to help us understand what's down there after he spent 31 days under water. your site gave me this "credit report card" thing. i need my actual credit report.

if african-americans in mississippi voted republican for the first time, maybe they'll vote republican. that would be good for the republican party. maybe. but for a large and vocal win of the mississippi republican party and for their conservative supporters around the country, voting by large numbers of black people remains suspicious enough to be considered illegal from the get-go. we are 50 years on now from the civil rights act almost exactly. that is still the confidence about mississippi in politics today. amazing. and it's not over. that does it for us tonight. now time for "the last word with lawrence o'donnell." soccer has now reached 100% of its potential audience in the united states, because even i watched the game today. and i believe that makes it 100% of the possible audience. >> i watched, too, so we might have hit 101%. >> thank you very much, rachel. >>> in a relentlessly dramatic world cup game today, i guess i mean match, team usa showed sports fans once again that there can be nobility in losing. breaking news, the united states soccer team just beat ghana.

we have 29 republican governors now. as terry said i'm going to be the 14th state in july and august alone. i've been to 19 states between december and june. and we're going across the country raising money, campaigning, and speaking to folks about why it makes a difference to have a republican governor in your state house rather than one of the other party. of the 20 best performing states in the economy, 19 have republican governors. that is not a co-incidence everybody. \[applause] so now i have a job to do. not just to be the governor of new jersey but to be the person to lead this group of governors to bigger and better things. when i get to leave my state as i'm doing today and i get to come to a place where here in iowa you have a republican house of representatives, i must say that it brings out a bad side of me. i get terribly envious. green with envy in fact because i have an all democratic legislature. i've had an all democratic legislature since the day i walked in. while we get things done and i've worked ha

that year we saw a republican wave.h four out of the five female governors are republican, the party has lagged behind at the federal level. just 23% of women serving in congress are republicans. this cycle republicans are hoping a slate of more dynamic female candidates, oregon's monica webbe and others can narrow the gender gap and boost their prospects. in the house they're counting on a round of recruits. from martha mcsally to elise stefonick in new york. mia love is another republican rising star. but despite some strong recruits, republican fund-raising efforts to boost women candidates are lagging way behind. another big challenge, efforts to drive up turnout among social conservatives which have a boomerang effect. here's what stephanie schriock told me on this show yesterday. >> our democratic women candidates and democrats in general are standing on the side of women, and you're seeing that in the growing gender gap. the republicans really have a problem on this, particularly with their opposition to access t

i am on the republican line and am a republican. a couple of things. young lady called who said that obama has issued fewer executive orders than anyone else up to this time. well, it is not the number, it is the severity and type of executive orders. the overriding of the constitution with his orders. another thing is with the immigrants. my grandparents, my wife's grandpa herons and great ram parents all came from other countries. they came over legally. some of them trekked to colorado from cincinnati. i just had to work in new york and baltimore for next to nothing, but they came legally. aliens --int, illegal everyone is saying that we have got to have compassion. true compassion, according to the tragedy of american , as i learned at the university of tennessee, we should take -- each one of us should take one or two of those even illegal aliens coming across -- if we really feel -- i know it is just ludicrous the way it is running there right now. another thing for the camp, why in set up entry systems searchlight, nevada? and in san francisco?

republicans voted efo it. they supported infrastructure spending when a republican was in the white house. this all politics? >> it seems to be ideology laced with police car. people who think all taxeses all the time, all revenue, all government spending is bad. this is a case where dwight eisenhower built every inch of the interstate highway system which runs through every state. every inch was paid for with gas tax money. i guess it's no longer any good. i wouldn't mind if somebody came up with a different idea. we could have that debate. whoever wins, wins. there is nothing on the table. there is no proposal by the other side. that's what botherses me more than anything else. >> governor, it is not just the infrastructure. they are just refusing to move and take action in any number of issues. the president talked about it today. listen. >> so far this year, republicans in congress are have blocked or voted down every serious idea to strengthen the middle class. not ideas that are unique to me. you know, t

. >> this is the problem for republicans. it gives a lot of ammunition to the president's critics, always said he is too reactive and not aggressive enough, doesn't have enough of a vision on the world stage. on the other hand, you know, this makes it seem like congress will take any excuse to not do their job, right? oh, well, we're busy, and there's not a very proactive feeling from the critics of the president and furthermore, since this has been the critique of the president no matter what he did on any occasion with any particular crisis, whether it was or wasn't his fault, there may be a feeling the critics cried wolf and this is another occasion to reprise that. >> the quick reaction in washington when it comes to the republicans in 2016 this could hurt rand paul he's less interventionist, more stay out of these things. you point to public opinion before the plane was shot down the president was facing criticism for the 2016 republican class including mark yo rubio to w.h.o. said when the president announced more sanct

the rise of the tea party happened since the last republican president. they are going to look for a new voice. let's show the top tier of the poll. the republicans are known as the it's your turn party. it was john mccain's turn, they didn't. mitt romney, they didn't. if you look at this right here, chris christie well known. mike huckabee ran before. rick perry ran before. rand paul gets the only asterisk is part is his dad's libertarian appeal and he's worked the hardest. he's been out there working the hardest. why isn't ted cruz higher in the numbers or marco rubio higher? >> there's a culture that does eventually coalesce. his trouble this spring and summer. jeb bush hasn't stepped into the void. the financial clash look at christie as probably the front-runner and the best candidate to be their guy in '16. >> one of the other guys is getting attention of late, marco rubio, came to washington with a lot of buzz. he disappeared because he stuck his neck out. he stood for what he believed in immigration. the conservatives revolted against him. he disa

voters 45 to 64 were voting republican. voters 30 to 44 were voting republican. no way a democrat can win in that state when that's the age group voting, right? oh, that's how the democrats won. 18-29. were it not for young voters, voters in their teens and 20s, there's no chance that any democrat could win in the state of north carolina. and when the election was even closer in 2012, the democratic candidate, again, mr. obama, he was not able to pull it off in that state. even though, again, it was young voters who made it even competitive at all in the state. without young voters voting in large numbers, democrats would never have a chance there. since that election, the state of north carolina has rolled back early voting. it has eliminated same-day voter registration. it has passed voter i.d. law in which you are not allowed to vote unless you submit official state-issued i.d. but that official state-issued i.d. cannot include a student i.d. even if the institution that issued that student i.d. is a state college. they started shutting down on-campus voting s

republicans hold 234 seats in the house. they have set themselves a goal of 245 total, meaning they would like to net 11 to proclaim a good night for them. you'll notice it's a pretty good night for the republicans if gop candidates are knocking off democratic incumbents in places like illinois, arizona, minnesota, california and perhaps new york where the lion's share of their targets are this year. democrats believe they'll pick up seats. if they can, they'll do well in places like virginia, new jersey, florida, iowa and colorado, all places they're targeting. first lady michelle obama implores democrats to turn out in a new video that the dccc has out. >> when it comes to the midterm elections this november, we need you to be as passionate and as hungry as you were back in 2008 and 2012. >> when it comes to the gubernatorial map given that 22 republican seats and just 14 democratic seats are up for grabs, it looked like when the cycle began, advantage d. democrats have set their sights on defeating the republican governor

republican governors in 20 states. which means that nearly 6 million working class people, not rich people in those states, won't have access to health care under the law. and on top of that, gop led the charge in the 36 states reducing to even set up their own health care exchanges. now in some cases, purposely making it harder for people to navigate into the system. back to you, michael. the question is, i'm going through all of the inches here, gun control, economy, border, most recent border crisis, can't we get an immigration bill through. seems like they are not just freezing the bar in basketball terms, old four corner offense, what they are trying to do is make sure that the country hates its government. it doesn't like it because it can't do anything. they make sure it doesn't do anything. that seems to be the strategy. >> very conscious part of the strategy, no question about it. they know they are the party of antigovernment as david just said. they know very well that if the american people hate government

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 look a little bit closer here because as republican a state as kansas is, it's actually made up of two different republican parties. there's the o
