candidates on the republican side who are strong including the michigan republican that you just played terry lynnand, she is leading in polls in michigan. that is a big deal as republicans spread the map and force democrats to defend in places they didn't think they would defend it is likely that the republicans could get the six seats they need. >> it is fascinating. bret baier watching it with us. >> deadly twisters ripping through the heartland and leaving 16 people dead and paths of utter destruction as thousands try to recover. take a look at imrages from arkansas. hardest hit areas is homes and businesses destroyed after they barrel through an 80 mile area. this is a debris of the tornados. it is a process. we have people and dogs going through the rubble and trying to find who ever we can and whatever we can. and once we get to night fall again tonight, then search and rescue will slow down again. but at the moment until search and rescue is over and the county judge's office is coordinating the efforts. until we get word that search and rescue is done. >> and twisters touched down in okla

senate races with representative gary peters, he's the democrat by the way, he's facing off against terry lynne land. he's hoping to gaining some momentum from this issue, as are other democrats who are facing tough battles throughout the country. that's president obama's main mission here, but of course, he also called on congress to increase the minimum wage, something that seems like it's going to be very difficult. president obama's plan would eliminate cost for consumers and eliminate jobs. 59 of opposition to this on capitol hill. as of right now, it's more of a politically strong issue than it is a pretty cliz realistic usual. >> now let's bring in times washington bureau chief, michael shearer and ericaaa kanut. paul ryan's budget figured prominently in this speech. i think democrats think this is a real liability for the republicans? >> he's used ill successfully before, he used it -- minimum wage is also pulling well, he mentioned three quarters of the country are in favor of it. if asked if it would change their vote in 2014, 50% saying yes and 50% saying no. so it's one of the issue

a hat tip to "the washington post's" greg sergeant, who noted a few more non-answers, including terry lynn land of michigan, who's running against democratic congressman gary peters of the senate, and says she wants to repeal obamacare, but when asked about medicare expansion, another word salad. quote, terry believes health care should be affordable and accessible to all americans and we as a society have a moral obligation to develop those who are not as fortunate as their children. no answer on medicaid expansion. and our old friend, former senator scott brown, who's taking another run at the senate, refused to answer whether he would support new hampshire's medicaid expansion, which was signed into law just last month. joining me now, brian bointler, senior editor at "the new republic," where he has just written a piece on this issue. i am very surprised, particularly at the tom cotton state. everyone thinks that's a tough state for the democrats to hold on. it's a state that if you poll it as obamacare, it's not very peculiar. and here's a chance to say, full repeal, get rid of it, ge

terry lynn land, a republican running says equal pay is not as important for women because she says theydifferent lifestyle. wait a minute. this isn't a mom issue. okay? this is a women's issue. equal pay. i mean, and they voted against it in the senate. where does that leave us? >> equal pay for women does not just benefit women or their children. it benefits their husbands, it benefits the economy, it benefits single women. it is really very short sighted to say that the only people that would be impacted by a raise by, being paid what you're worth are women. it is horribly short sighted. they need to work on their messaging. they had a whole campaign about how to reach more voters. >> message again, behavior. thanks. >>> still ahead, the right wing talk here's didn't believe 7.want million americans signed up for obamacare. they got a new number to gripe about. and later, another attack on voting rights in ohio. state senator nina turner weighs in on the latest attempt to suppress the vote. next i'm taking your questions. honestly, i'm pouring everything i have into this place. that's

this michigan polling from february shows gary peters trailing republican terri lynn land by three pointslook at this from the same poll. gary peters may be down by three against the republican candidate, but there is a democratic skewed issue headed for the ballot in michigan that's not only leading, it's leading by 24 points. the polling in michigan is 60-36 in favor of raising the minimum wage. everybody says this year that senate candidates and congressional candidates are all keeping their distance from president obama this year. that no democrat wants to do a campaign event with him. this week, there was gary peters with president obama coming down the steps of air force one in michigan. and what issue was the subject of the gary peters/barack obama campaign rally in michigan? it was really 100% all about the issue of the minimum wage. and the president could not have been happier to talk about it. >> before i came here today, i stopped at zingerman's which is the -- which is the right thing to do when you're in ann arbor. i stopped for two reasons. the first is, the ruben is killer

you see terri lynn land there in mi michigan. the same sort of language. against myself, she said. >> this is also important for land if you remember she is being attacked by those in the state in michigan for saying that women in terms of payroll are looking for flexibility more than pay in terms of jobs. this is really an effort to humanize her, put a face on her that works as this national narrative they're also doing less. >> one of my favorite races in this career is bob dole run for president in 1996 against bill clinton and ross perot. it was clear dole was going to lose. bob dole is 90 now. he's back in kansas on what he calls a thank you tour. he's never shy about speaking his mind. here's what he said about a number of younger. ares positioning themselves to run for president. rand paul, marco rubio and that extreme right wing guy, ted cruz, all run for t president now? i don't think they've got enough experience yet. ted cruz took a shot at bob dole saying republicans keep nominating, quote, unquote, losers. is he right in the sercsense th repub
