i mean, they attacked tom tillis saying the education budget, he cut a half a billion dollars out ofhen the education budget while he has been speaker went from 7 billion to 8 billion. they attacked tom cotton in arkansas. oh, he worked for insurance companies. even though he never worked for an insurance company. >> both sides do that. >> well, but you know what? i have never seen it to this degree. there have been so many -- some instances in which the democrat ads have gotten four pinocchios. they come back and say the same thing in a different way. >> in this internet age you say whatever you want. if it sticks it sticks, and that's it, you take the shot. >> mr. rove, we appreciate it as always. when we come right back, it will be megyn kelly time talking about what frightens ms. megyn? what frightens her the most in this world besides coming on the factor. then watters very frightening guy as you know asked the folks to grade president obama. right back. s to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be dif

republicans are worried a third party candidate could pull in votes away from republican tom tillis toe race hagan's way. right now hagan leads republican tillis by an average of three points according to real clear politics which carries the averages. the libertarian candidate, sean haugh, makes ends meet by delivering pizza. getting anywhere from 8 to 11 points according to the four different points we've looked at taken in may and june from ppp, a democrat-leaning poll. and civitas, a republican leaning one. not even enough to win, of course, but enough to effect the outcome of an already very close senate race. haugh does most of his campaigning on youtube, recording videos in his campaign manager's basement. here we go. >> i'm a libertarian because i know i'm not smart enough to run your life for you. i mean, i would think you'd be the expert on that. you know what burns me? that the state thinks it can come into my bedroom and judge my marriage. you don't have the right to judge in the first place. so get out of my bedroom, you pervert. it really doesn't matter how you feel about

we will have a battle because mar w mara's right, the ads have started with tom tillis. but in arkansas where tom prior is running for reelection as democrat, they are using these cases against him because apparently the ruling is more popular in arkansas and people are saying, mark prior would have put sam alito on the supreme court. the supreme court is more politicized than ever. it is, as a reflection, of what's happening in the broader electorate. and you know, i don't think that's a good thing. because i think the religious freedom restoration act itself is a token of an earlier more bipartisan time when congress was capable of getting together and attempting to strike a balance on these very emotional subjects. and that time, 20 years ago, that over. >> and within minutes, there a ruling coming out and people digesting it. we heard, not only -- we heard from the white house later in the day. constitutional lawyer in the oval office does not approve. again, putting that emphasis on, he understands the constitution and how this all works. he has taken heat for not ne

and now they are funding all of these campaigns, you played a clip from north carolina, tom tillis, denies climate change exists much less that climate change is caused by humans. i think the republicans are really on the wrong side of history here, they'll look back on that reand regret it. they have a political problem i think this year but particularly going into 2016 where these issues will be more prevalent. >> this is a bought and paid for political position by the republicans, no matter what facts you throw out there and what the science is, they are so bought and paid for on climate denial you don't see them changing any time soon? >> i don't. this really is a function of how their campaigns are funded and who's behind their campaign, the koch brothers and their interest in oil and refineries and chamber of commerce, the big oil as you mentioned, they don't care about what the climate -- what the earth looks like 100 years from now. they care about what their quarterly profits look like next month when -- when the third quarter ends or third quarter begins. that's what they are con

this hb-589 was passed by tom tillis and berger and signed by mcquarry is the worst kind of voter i.d. it is when you intentionally identify voters that you think will probably not support your political extremism and then you conjure up policies to suppress their right to vote. that's what we've seen here unjustly attacking 17-year-olds, from preregistering, rolling back same day registration, which is used heavily by students, and other minorities and the poor. rolling back sunday voting. it is an all out attempt, we call it the worst attempt on voting rights since jim crow we've seen here in north carolina. we made a tremendous case. >> professor tribe you write that the supreme court's decision to curb certain sections of the voting rights act is part of the philosophy under chief justice john roberts. can you explain that? >> yes. chief justice roberts has expressed the view quite often that we are basically past the period of jim crow and race discrimination. we've actually gotten to the promised land as long as we pay no more attention to race. i think that's profoundly misguid
