he will next wednesday in wisconsin. a tweet of former president bill clinton saying, thank you, barack obama. quoining ing joining us is mark preston. you are getting what the sanders campaign knew about this. what are you learning? >> wolf, we heard from president obama right there is very important at the very end talking about how the democratic party divided eight years ago and how quickly they came together and when hillary clinton abandoned the bid for president of the united states and i spoke to a senator, senator sanders, senior aide on the campaign and read to you a little bit of our discussion. he said that the president's endorsement of secretary clinton was expected and he described senator sanders meeting with the president today as very good and very positive so clearly senator sanders knew it was coming and not a surprise to the campaign. as for how they feel about the campaign at this moment, he described it as a very hard-run campaign and emphasized that they're going to compete in the district of colu

you have to run on the top of the ticket with him in wisconsin.ew poll out today looks like he's hurting you, do you think this renomination process should be reopened? >> i'm responsible for my own words, my own actions and as i do on a bipartisan action, i'm looking for areas of agreement on big issues growing the economy, certainly strengtheninstrengthing our military, the borders, if i disagree with mr. trump or hillary clinton i will make sure i will be our voice and voice those disagreements. >> they're sometimes hard markers that become basically end up where the entire party gets defined by what your nominee says, so what he did with judge curiel, what he did with the president, does that give you comfort? are you still comfortable voting for him. >> i'm stating my areas of disagreement, i'm going to concentrate on the areas of agreement it's that simple. >> there is chatter, obviously wisconsin is a state that didn't support d.o.onald trump, but ri now there doesn't seem to be an open challenge at the convention, what do you think? >> i'm

law in wisconsin. the reason democrats don't like it is they believe it will work for the republicans. >>> donald trump needs a total of 270 electoral college votes to win the white house. here's how things turned out back in 2012 with barack obama taking 332 to mitt romney's206. these 18 states, plus the district of columbia, have gone democrat in every election since 1992. but, take a look at this. these four states -- wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, my home state of minnesota, are normally blue states but could turn red if trump focuses on jobs and trade deals. they have not done well under nafta. trump did well in pennsylvania in the primaries and the others went to bernie sanders in the primaries. let's talk about all this with a trump campaign new york co-chair. there is a lot to digest here but let's take a look at those states we were talking about. minnesota, wisconsin, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania. a lot of people focused on trade and jobs there. could those go to trump? >> right. first of

. >> at next, q&a with wisconsin senator tammy baldwin. then former president bill clinton in los angeles for hillary clinton. and later, senator bernie sanders in los angeles followed a campaign rally in redding, california with donald trump. ♪ >> at this week and q&a, wisconsin senator tammy baldwin. she talks about her career. brian: senator tammy baldwin, go back to that empty apartment. convention tonight 1984 in wisconsin. what is the story?

duffy of wisconsin. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 770, the gentleman from wisconsin, mr. duffy, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from wisconsin. mr. duffy: thank you, mr. speaker. the puerto rico unemployment rate is double the national average. nearly one in every two residents live below the poverty line. economic growth is in the negative. we heard about that all day today. now, promesa will stop the bleeding, but there is an easy solution to jump-start the economy. we have a down payment and commission and i think this is a real step in trying to kick-start economic growth. my amendment with my colleague, mr. pierluisi from puerto rico, will remove an impediment to the small business administration hubzone program that limits the number of businesses on the island that are eligible for the program. this idea was brought to me by my friend, the speaker of the puerto rico legislative assembly and it's a good one. what does it do? the hubzone program is a small business federal contracting assistance program whose p

she'll also end up in wisconsin.t's where she's going to appear at a rally with president obama by her side. the first time the two of them will campaign together. donald trump, meanwhile, is going to start tonight in virginia. he's going to continue his battleground state tour heading to florida, pennsylvania, and new hampshire. and so with the candidates getting into general election mode, we thought we would dust off the big board and give you a look at some of the demographics and some of the things on the map to be keeping an eye on. first, let's look at that route that donald trump is trying to take to the white house, because it's an unconventional one, and it's one that after the last election, nobody thought that any republican would ever try to take again. let me explain. this is what the exit polling looked like at the end of the 2012 election. and you see here, mitt romney had a giant advantage with barack obama when it came to white voters. a 20-point lead, nearly 60% of the vote. and republicans looked

wisconsin, the same number of points you have donald trump down in wisconsin.his guy who was going to be a game changer. w almost won wisconsin a couple of times. now he's doubling down, posting breitbart articles that he was right all along that the president is in cahoots with isis. how devastating is this? >> at this stage i don't know where you go from here because there really is nowhere to go. >> you need another candidate. >> don't you have to condemn -- doesn't the republican party -- i'm hearing more and more saying this is just not acceptable. >> in all honesty, has to make a break, a separation. the leadership wall has to be placed up, not just ryan and mcconnell but across the board. you saw yesterday in my state governor hogan, larry hogan come out and say i just can't get there. you're having more and more governors begin to see that reality and speak to it. the party has to realize between now and the convention -- we're still in june. i get that. >> at the end of the day. >> too much damage. >> when you have the mexican judge remarks, the guy is

wisconsin political history. bob what followed senior helped shepherd the change whereby senators were not appointed by lazy man to the elections. it wouldn't be the party bosses that made the decision. in smoke-filled back rooms. free and fair elections. here's a discussion looking at the potential for a nuclear arms race in the middle east. the brookings institution hosted representatives from the state department as well as ambassador to the united states. this is 90 minutes. >> good morning. i'm suzanne maloney. deputy director of the foreign policy program here at the oo

wisconsin's a state that isn't going to be in the battleground. the never trump movement was strong there. >> how did he win? what is on the map snp. >> wisconsin isn't on the map anymore. that's a problem for trump. a lot of states may get off the map. that's all i'm saying about wisconsin. it's definitely the rust belt states. the rust belt mentality. the wisconsin, for separate reason s out of reach for trump. it is the pennsylvania. that rust belt corridor that is trump's one opening. that's the opening they want to shut down. that's what obama successfully shut down against romney. obviously, clinton wants to do that. you don't become an era unless you get that third term. the reagan era. he got it. two term presidencies are more successful than one term ones as far as the history books. boy, if you can elect you're successor, that's a big deal. reagan got it. it doesn't happen very often. fdr got it and helped when truman got the first full term. that expanded it even more. bill clinton didn't get it when al gore decided to shun bill clinton

wisconsin is going to be in play. obama won it twice, but wisconsin would be in play for trump. >> there are number of states now in play versus the last election. should be interesting. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> so, let's talk more about the chump. hitting the campaign money trail, a little late with the presumptive g.o.p. wrapping up a meeting with top republican fundraiser and donors as he works to build up his war chest for the general election, joining me, steve moore, economic adviser to donald trump and a fox news contributor. what happened in the meeting? >> reporter: well, let me correct you on one thing, this was not a fundraiser. in fact raising money was never brought up. what it was really about was 40 or 50 major industry leaders, from finance and the energy industry and banking and manufacturing, who basically talked to donald trump what is the state of the economy, what do we have to do to get jobs done. they were very nervous about the direction of the economy, a lot of people brought u

wisconsin has always been a laboratory. progressive era, whether it was welfare reform or tommy thompson in the 80s became the basis for clinton's welfare reform in the mid- 90s and what walker has done, so that's what federalism is supposed to be about. see what works and then maybe do it nationally. >> host: just a few minutes left. bobby, tanto, south carolina. >> caller: first-time caller, so i'm kind of nervous. i'm 50. when i was 45, my family has a history of heart disease and i played golf the week before, through batting practice to 16, nine, 10 years old, that friday had a heart attack when as 45. >> host: i apologize, body, but we are running out of time. if you could get to your question for mr. forbes. >> caller: i will write him. >> host: thank you for calling in. ron in new hampshire. >> caller: thank you for taking my call. steve, want to ask you about the tax implemented with value 19 amendment. it's a flat tax, but has no exemptions or deductions, so a revenue neutral flat tax with those conditions is abou

wisconsin, iowa, michigan. those are three states where the white vote is pretty large but obama and democrats tend to do well. obama's numbers were really strong. if trump can't win those states, that again narrows his path. george bush won wisconsin, for example, in 2004 frump needs to broaden out his base. i'm not sure where he goes outside of ohio, florida, new hampshire and pennsylvania right now. >> i just put these as you talked about them. this is a big if. if donald trump were to flip those, you talk about having a rust belt strategy to add in ohio, you had in pennsylvania and donald trump would be north of 270 without having to win virginia, without having to win florida just in the rust belt. >> it's not plausible he will win. there's no way he will carry that state. i think the problem is he's looking for these so called missing white working class voters. men should turn out more working class white voters by 2%. that's because he energized that sector of the electorate. i don't think you'll see th

in wisconsin, and another place of worship, internet temple in oak creek wisconsin a gunman came and targeted the congregation during sunday worship. in america hate crimes overall are declining. do that is good news and that says something about what we can do together when we pass strong laws and try to prevent these crimes, educate as well as enforce our laws but i am sad to share that while overall are hate crimes are declining those against some groups, most notably muslims and members of the lgbt community are on the rise lgbt people are more likely than any other group to be targeted for hate violence. and lg p2 lgbt people of color, particularly transgender women of color are at the very greatest risk.senato so the amendment that i have offered along with my colleagues , senator mikulski and senator her role no would provide in the commerce of justice science appropriations bill additional funding for the silver rights division to focus on hate crimes prevention on one hand and also enforcement for those crimes and they occur this amendment will hit provideo important tools t

i was stunned when i heard what happened in wisconsin. life was quiet in the town of middleton until one morning before dawn people woke up to hear something like this. police with battering rams. >> it was a series of terrifying raids. >> predawn military raids on homes. >> i rushed downstairs thinking the worst. >> so did her teenage son. >> they opened the dorbefore police knocked it down. and they were under criminal investigation. give us your computer and cell phone and files. and don't talk to anyone. >> we would be subject to jail time and a fine if we told anybody about the search on our home. >> did they say why? >> school buses drove by and does it mean her husband is a pedophile or big- time drug dealers. >> several team said what happened. at your house this morning. >> what was the crime? >> you practice politics. >> i do communication's work. but my partner and i were involved with governor walker's campaign. >> they were in violation of the campaign. >> trying to reduce money in politics. they had campaign finance rules an

southwest,he milwaukee, wisconsin, which was a hotbed for socialist politics. that there were great in the northwest. host: what set eugene debs apart as a candidate? prof. johnson: he appealed to labor. eugene debs could give a great speech and he knew how to play to the audience. in some ways, socialism at the time might have met -- meant simple answers for complex problems. you did not have to read marks marx that closely. went to jail and was radicalized there. andound himself radicalized was drawn to social politics but what set him apart was being a great oratory. a red or a titian. he really studied this message. labor was having a hard time. he ultimately emerged as one of the voices of labor. this is not to say others were not important. but he is great latitude with those kind of folks, courting labor and the labor vote. was the high point of the movement? prof. johnson: probably 1912, when eugene debs garnered about 12%. probably the most of any socialist. striking into important. so, 1912 was probably the high point and i will say there was always t

in wisconsin, it is a big problem and it demands a bold response from washington. we are in the midst of a crisis that is touching far too many across our state. i have heard stories from family members who have tragically lost loved ones to addiction. and i've heard from people who are on the path of recovery. at one of my community meetings, a father came up to me to courageously share a story of tragically losing his youngest son to addiction a couple of years ago right after christmas. recently i heard from leonard from colfax, wisconsin, whose grandson was killed in a car accident when he was just 16 years old. the driver of the other car was under the influence of heroin at the time. i've also heard from a mother from south milwaukee whose son suffered from addiction for 20 years. while he is now in recovery, at one point she found him unconscious from a heroin overdose on their bathroom floor. another mother from lugun ago wrote to tell me her own son's life was saved by a paramedic who administered nalaxone allowing him to survive. the message is clear, fam

this is on wisconsin avenue near tenley town after a metal plate on the road gave way. vdot says it was there as part of a pepco project. either the road gave way next to it or under that metal plate. one lane is shut down while crews are making repairs. the car got towed away not long ago. >> situations like this shouldn't happen. >> on a main road. >> it is wisconsin avenue, major traffic going in and out of the city. hopefully they can get it taken care of. >> reporter: no one was hurt. the couple in the car was able to get out. we don't know when the road will open again. >>> we are getting new pictures from west virginia tonight of the massive destruction left behind by all of the flooding. >> we also just got an update from emergency management offic our chris lawrence has the latest information at our live desk. >> the death toll unfortunately jumped again. we know at least 23 people have been killed in record flooding. as part of water recedes look at what is left behind cars flipped over, neighborhoods washed away. officials say they can't begin to count the nu

johnson: someone like victor berger, from milwaukee, wisconsin, a working-class town. he served in congress. was later denied his seat because of world war i and objections to u.s. involvement in world war i. another person i think is interesting and closer to my research and heart was a man called lewis duncan, the mayor of butte, montana, from 1911-1914. it does not seem like a huge electoral victory, but it was the quintessential mining town and he was able to capitalize on the labor vote and win that election and serve as a pretty productive mayor for those three years in representing the socialist party and labor. so there are those kind of figures that one important elections and served as an example of the possibility of what socialist politics could do. host: your research focuses on late 19th century early 20th century. what happens between then and the present day? prof. johnson: not ultimately i have always argued that world war i helped ring about a pretty quick and to the socialist party's prominence and that. host: how does bernie sanders -- those objecti

a crash heading southbound on wisconsin avenue right at park avenue. only the left lane getting by. this is in chevy chase just north of the friendship heights metro station. we'll take a live look. i want to show you some of this activity. you can see here flashing lights blocking off the two lanes over to the right-hand side. everyone squeezing by. you can see it's not causing a huge backup now.

oklahoma, the southwest, milwaukee, wisconsin, which was a hotbed for socialist politics. there were great in the northwest. host: what set eugene debs apart as a candidate? what was appealing about his message? prof. johnson: he appealed to labor. scholars have written a little bit about him in this way. debs could give a great speech , and i think he knew how to play to the audience. in some ways, socialism at the time might have meant simple answers for complex problems. you did not have to read marks marx that closely. you can find a lot in that message rea. debs himself was a democrat and then went to jail and was radicalized there. he found himself radicalized and was drawn to social politics but what set him apart was being a great oratory. -- orator. really spreading this message of revelation and socialism, which was attractive if you are down and out and a laborer having a hard time. he ultimately emerged as one of the voices of labor. that is not to say others were not important. but he had a great rivalry with those kind of folks, courting labor and the labor v

how significant, first of all, is wisconsin? why are they there? what do you think is going to be the primary focus of the message in the first time that they are seen together? >> well, it's certainly a state that democrats think they can win. i mean, scott walker, you know, anything to kind of poke at scott walker, obviously substantial organized labor presence there. hillary clinton has a lot of labor support. and i think just the energy that scott walker has created against him, in the last several years, i think, makes it an important battle ground state for the democrats, number one. number two, i think an important -- and just to go back to ben's point, as well. this -- you know, the democratic campaign, on both sides, has been, for both candidates, has been incredibly substantiative. it has not been a campaign devoid of real policy issues. and i think what you'll hear from barack obama, and you'll hear from hillary clinton in wisconsin, and certainly on the campaign trail, going forward, is that we have -- that democrats have some real solu

some will say why wisconsin, right? wisconsin seems like a state that the democrats shouldn't have to defend. president obama won it twice. but what do we expect to hear from the two of them as they finally share the stage as a team? sxwlink the main thing that we will see is as close an embrace as possible between them. this is a lot about the images that will come out of this. there should be no question in anybody's minds both are hoping that any of the divisions from 2008 are still there. barack obama wants to say i want hillary clinton to be the president. everybody look at me saying hillary clinton should be the president of the united states. i'm supporting her all the way. and even though that means bernie sanders may not have dropped out by then, probably will be pushing forward to the convention, president saying it's fine, stay in the race, but we're going forward and we're going against donald trump. i think we'll also see a lot of heavy action against donald trump. >> i think that's clear we likely will hea

imagine that even though other political events will go forward that that particular meeting in wisconsin, think about how impossible that would have been at this moment to talk in the most hardened political terms even in a rah-rah sense of how to deal with the issues of the day. just an impossible situation. at the same time, for the president, who has got to monitor what's going on and be involve ed in dispatching feder resources to the florida, it would be unhelpful for him to not be right there at the situation room. as often happens when there is a national crisis, politics has to adjust. we have not yet seen any word and we have tried several times today to find out if donald trump intends to change any of his schedule. we have not been given any information to suggest that at this point. and there are other planned events and trips to battleground states for hillary clinton that we have not been told would be adjusted at this point. so at this point, it is the obama-clinton joint appearance that is on hold to be scheduled for some other time. brian? >> kelly, thanks. we repeat to

you move over to ron johnson in the state of wisconsin.h russ feingold, republicans took over the united states senate in 2010 based on all these big wins in the census year of 2010 but all the senators in purple states, barack obama won, all up for re-election. feingold pulling ten points ahead of johnson in wisconsin. then pennsylvania. this is the state republicans always think they can win but never do. you have pat toomey, former club for growth president, in a statistical dead heat with katie mcginty in a state democrats are expected to carry once again in november. that could take out pat toomey. then we go over to new hampshire. this is going to be one of the most closely contested races. another state won by barack obama in 2012. that's a dead heat between kelly ayotte, who expressed lots of reservations of donald trump and her challenger. this is a race democrats really can pick up. then we go over to the state of ohio. this is the state that no republican has become president without winning. look at rob portman. statistical dea

hillary clinton's lead, about 11 or 12 points in wisconsin. despite some demographic differences, a state that seems more resistant to donald trump. so we'll have to see if that closes moving forward. there was a new marquette law school poll out today giving hillary clinton a nine-point advantage. sort of confirms that she is up by a significant margin in wisconsin. interestingly, i mentioned hillary clinton's ad campaign. she is going up in ohio. she is not going up in pennsylvania and wisconsin. at least not yet. and that may reflect some confidence about those states. >> of course, all of this important to get to the magic number, 270 electoral votes. when the returns come in on election night, november the 8th, new hampshire is often an early bellwether. you have been looking at polling in that state as well. >> it is an early bellwether. it's only worth four electoral votes, so it's not necessarily the most consequential of the swing states given its size. but the polls there early. it's an east coast state. it's a place where donald tru

. >> people like him in wisconsin. is he well-liked. >> wisconsin doesn't let people that -- they don't normally allow people to come back after they lost. it just hasn't worked. retreads haven't worked in wisconsin. as far as the fundamentals go. the thing with the ron johnson brings to the table is being in business. being a guy from the outside. being a guy that says, you know, what he means and means what he says. and look at the polling. the polling is really close right now in wisconsin. that's a good sign for the general election for ron johnson. >> we'll be watching it, you and i particularly pay attention. also speaker of the house is from our state. >> you bet. is he my congressman. >> he is your congressman. he is not mine. i'm farther north. anyway, mr. chairman, thank you. >> you bet. >> and cleveland is getting ready for the republican national convention. the rnc posting this time laps video showing the quicken loans arena it is now being transformed from the home of the very new nba champion cleveland c

now from wisconsin to tennessee and moving east. >>> good evening. and we begin tonight with that devastating headline from disney world. we learned late today that the body of that 2-year-old boy pulled into the water by an alligator has been found. his body intact, found in the water. authorities had said early today the attack was, quote, unsurvivable. it's believed the 2-year-old was standing in an inch or two of water and was snatched by that alligator, just after 9:00 p.m. last night, off this beach. his father trying to pry his boy away from the alligator. all day long, the desperate search in the water and from the air. and tonight, the discovery. and new word coming in from disney, the parent company of abc. gio benitez leads us off from orlando. >> reporter: tonight, officials making the heartbreaking announcement. after more than 16 hours of searching by dive teams and choppers flying overhead, crews finally finding the body of 2-year-old lane graves. >> there's likely no question in my mind that the child was drowned by the alligator. >>

finally, in wisconsin last year a state senator resigned after they were giddy over the effects of state voter id laws on minorities and college students. let's be frank. faced with democratic -- demographic changes that they , somego against them republicans have decided that if you can't beat them, change the rules. difficult for individuals who may not support republican candidates vote. not even winning vivid -- majority of votes but it can be affected. it decreases the votes of young people, minorities and the poor. conducted by the university of california san concluded that these disproportionally affected democratic voters. studies found that turnout dropped where voter id laws were in place. by 10%.ecreased to find whato try vote fraud is, that is voter fraud. lawsation's attentions and should not be focused on these illegal voters. at the 75 million adult citizens you did not vote, 60 million were not registered and therefore were not eligible to cast a ballot. this is where we should focus our efforts. in 2011 at theve lbj library, i called for automatic registration of all el

so did you come from wisconsin and spend the whole year there. john: senator proxmire's style -- cycle of them through. he had at least three year. them through. cokie roberts: where did you live? john: the republicans had just taken the senate and proxmire didn't know what he was going to be having any pages. even though he was the senior senator. i didn't get word until just days before i was still in the senate. and when contacted the senate's office is where the pages later. -- where do pages live? said you can find yourself an apartment. there are some boarding houses, but they are all fault your cokie: and how old are you? john: eckstein. cokie: go, go, little wisconsin boy. get yourself an apartment. [laughter] john: i rented an apartment at 220 c street southeast. the congressional plaza hotel. cokie roberts: they had some interesting people living there.

senator, you're in the same state of wisconsin as speaker paul ryan. what do you say to i would imagine if he were here or other colleagues, look, this is the way it works, go win enough house seats to control the house of representatives and you guys can call whatever votes you want to call whenever you want to call them. >> i would call on my friend and my former colleague in the house, paul ryan as speaker, to hold a vote on this incredibly important issue. too often in washington we just agree to disagree and walk away. agreeing to disagree in this circumstance is a failure of leadership when the american people, including the people of wisconsin, overwhelmingly want action. moments of silence, thoughts and prayers are not enough. it is time to act and after a filibuster in the senate last week led to votes and now active work on a bipartisan compromise in the senate on a no fly no buy that i hope will get a vote later this week, we need the same to happen in the house. the one thing i wanted to comment on having heard paul ryan's quote earlier is
