On over the next couple of days. Reconsidering the search with the australian ambassador to the u. S. Plus, the u. S. Sends more nonlethal aid to ukraine, but stops short of the weapons it requested. Jeffrey pyatt joins us. And 8 million signups for his Affordable Care act. I think theres a strong, good, right story to tell. The president joins his partys midterm battle to keep the senate in democratic hands. This is state of the union. Iraqs ambassador goes boston strong. His tribute to this country and hopes for his own. Plus a countrys failure, an estimated 22 veterans killed themselves every day. We arent doing a very good job of taking that warrior and reintegrating them back into society. Treatment does help. The post battle battle. Our conversation with two men who served in iraq. Senator john walsh and tom taranti tarantino. This is state of the union. Good morning from washington, im candy crowley, the scene is unbearable to watch and the numbers are staggering. Rescuers in south korea are bringing bodies to shore as distraught relatives hold out hope that anyone could still be alive from a sunken ferry filled mostly with high school students. Officials released transcripts of ship to shore Radio Communications during the ferrys final moments. Lets bring in Paula Hancocks in jindo, south korea. What do these Communications Tell us about the final moments . Reporter well, candy, these conversations between an unidentified person aboard the sea wall ferry and two radio towers, the destination radio tower and the tower closest to where this ferry sank. And the most interesting part that we can see from it at this point is how quickly this ship appeared to list and then sink. This is based just on the transcripts available to us. But it appears as though the distress signal, the first distress signal went out at 8 55 a. M. On wednesday and by 8 56 a. M. , so just one minute later, the person said the ship rolled over a lot right now. Cannot move, end quote. So just one minute after the distress signal was put out, very quickly the person said that people could not move throughout the next half hour. He said he or she said a number of times, the passengers are unable to move. They were asked whether or not the life rafts had been put out, whether the passengers were on the rescue boats. Again, saying they could not move. So what this really tells investigators at this point is that this ship, this 68ton ferry did actually list significantly and very quickly. Candy . We want to move to another tragedy. It has been seven weeks since flight 370 vanished. Now, malaysian and australian Officials Say they might have to regroup. Joining me now, the australian ambassador to the United States kim beasley. Thank you so much for being here this morning. One of the things, i think, that has gotten a lot of play here is what your Prime Minister tony abbott said to the wall street journal. We believe that search will be completed within a week or so. If we dont find wreckage, we stop, we regroup, we reconsider. What does that mean . Well, i think a week or so brings us to about three or four days from now. Maybe a little less. Regroup and reconsider. Regroup would be to look at the kit, whether there needs to be additional elements added to it. And itll be to look at the search to that point. See whether or not theyre satisfied that the area searched thats been searched as much as it could be. Look at the math that went into making a calculation on the pingers. Look at the math associated with the handshake estimates, and keep going. And by the handshake estimates, its the signal from the plane to satellite. To satellite. So is there any thought now that, perhaps, the pinger estimates. That is hearing the ping and saying, okay, lets narrow the search area down, is there a thought that the those estimates were wrong and it could be someplace else . And is there any thought that perhaps they werent pingers on the plane . Well, on the first point. Im not sure, of course. Im not intimate with the research. But from what one can discern, they had a very high level of confidence they got the right areas associated with the pings. I think in their minds that the pings from the aircraft were good in terms of it reflecting the fact they discovered the area was located. I think if you cast your mind back, it was a set of pings that were picked up over a long period of time, a couple of hours. There is nothing there that it could be other than that sort of recorder. So theres no other planes gone down in the area. So logic has driven them to this spot. At some point, there has to be a decision made, like we cannot put and im assuming over a 60year search that you didnt every day have these kind of assets focused on it. And im wondering how that decision gets made where maybe you turn it over to a private contractor and pay for somebody to be out there all the time looking. Well, a decision would obviously be taken by the search coordinators. In the way in which we talked about a little earlier, that would be done in consultation of the other parties involved in this. And if the air search might be adjusted. But when you say youre going to reconsider all things, obviously, thats one of the things youre going to consider. You may well also consider bringing another underwater search equipment. All of these things will be on the table if nothing is found in the next few days. One of the things understood at this point is that each country is paying for its own assets that are in the region. At some point, might that change . Well, i would think that would persist. The question is who would pay for private contractors, private contractors were boarding. But, that would be a decision taken by the Australian Government in an environment of great generosity. We have responsibility for this. I think theres an assumption on the australian part that will bear the burden. Ambassador kim beazley, thanks for spending time with us this morning. I appreciate it. Thanks for having us. Three days after an International Pact was brokered with the goal of easing tensions in ukraine, theres no indication thats actually happening. I want to bring in jeffrey pyatt, the u. S. Ambassador to ukraine joining us now from kiev. Thank you so much, mr. Ambassador. Let me ask you straight up, russias saying, listen, we dont really have any power over the separatists who have taken over Ukrainian Government buildings on the border with russia. Do you believe that . Well, we believe that russia has influence over some of these groups. And we hope they will exercise it to try to make the geneva framework a success. Were convinced this is the best chance weve got to achieve a deescalation of this crisis and were working hard at it. I know you are. I think the question is what next if it does not work . Do you see this, lets say, a civil war breaking out at least long in those eastern border areas . Do you see russia moving in . And what has the u. S. Got to offer here . Well, candy, let me say this, im actually coming from a meeting with the foreign minister and the ambassador who heads the special Monitoring Mission along with my eu and russian counterparts. And we all reaffirmed today in this setting our collective commitment to trying to make the geneva framework a success. There are obviously some real challenges at this point, including some new violence this morning in eastern ukraine. But we also believe that there has been some progress. Im seeing reports this morning that at least one of these government buildings now has a ukrainian flag flying over it. And the osce has monitors on the ground who are reaching out, engaging with local political elites, seeing if theres a way to deescalate the crisis. So right now, were planning for success. On your question about civil war and violence, you know, what i hear from ukrainians across the board and especially on this Easter Holiday is a desire to bring everybody together. There are obviously efforts from small, isolated groups to stir a division. But thats not what i hear from most ukrainians. Including, i should add, ukrainians in the east. Is it really small groups . Or is it is it russian activated because president putin would very much love to see strife so he can use the same excuse he used when he took over in crimea and say, well, i just came in to protect russian citizens . Well, candy, the reports were getting including from the osce monitors make clear that were really just talking about a couple of hundred of people. And the polling data saying that ukraiians want to be part of a unified, prosperous politically stable country. Theres obviously, theres obviously some reason for unhappiness, especially economic problems in the east. I think thats where efforts are going to focus at this point. There is there is an apparent effort from outside to try to stir division as you say. But im convinced that those who are trying to stimulate separatism, who are preaching violence are not going to find the people in the east would like to hear more from kiev and kiev is trying to provide that. One of the things we also know is the government in kiev has, in fact, asked the u. S. For weaponry. The u. S. Has given nonlethal aid but so far has not responded or given any lethal aid. So we have ukraine here outnumbered and outmanned by anything the russians may have. We are offering a support and some nonlethal aid to them. But what are they to do if there is a Movement Across the border from russia . Which is not a, you know, off the wall kind of thing to think about happening. Should we not at some point say, here is the wherewithal you need to help defend your land . Well, candy, i think the fact is that the geography, the balance of power is such that there is no military solution to this crisis. It has to be solved through diplomacy. Thats something that the Prime Minister himself says. The government has asked us for nonlethal military assistance. And as you noted, secretary hagel, the pentagon had additional announcements last week in terms of additional assistance we are providing, nonlethal assistance. But the fact is, militarily as crimea demonstrated, ukraine is outgunned. And so, our efforts have been focused on diplomacy. Up next, the president opens his push for 2014 democrats. Baron of the buildout. You need a permit. To be this awesome. And you. Rent from national. Because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. And go. And only national is ranked highest in car rental Customer Satisfaction by j. D. Power. aaron purrrfect. vo meeeow, business pro. Meeeow. Go national. Go like a pro. Democrats should forcefully defend and be proud, i dont think we should apologize for it. I dont think we should be defensive about it. I think theres a strong, good, right story to tell. Joining me around the table, Communications Director for the Democratic National committee, political handicappers rothenberg of the famed rothenberg political report and shawn spicer for the Republican National committee. So stu, despite the president s advice for running for office, his favorable ratings in the low 40s. Obamacare, the Affordable Care act also in the low 40s in approval. How good of advice is this, especially to vulnerable democrats running in states that mitt romney won . Well, its good advice for democrats running in democratic districts, but they probably dont need the advice. The problem is, there are a lot of democrats running in states where mitt romney carried it. And defending aca is really a dangerous game for the democrats. Theyre trying to finesse the race. Talking about the president s premier national accomplishment. An issue, could be a problem. I want to play you the first ad that Mary Landrieu running for senate, this is the first ad in december. Hundreds of thousands of people across the country losing their current coverage. The administration under pressure to act fast. What i said to the president was, you told them they could keep it. Landrieu has introduced the keeping the Affordable Care act promise. Im fixing it. And thats what my bill does and ive urged the president to fix it. Senator landrieu says president obama needs to stick to his word. The truth is, you dont care if she runs that ad, right . As long as she returns to the senate with a d by her name. Well, i care about the fact that she was promising people shes going to fix and make the law work better and the law is working better today and more and more people are benefitting from it. And i think thats why youre going to see more democrats take the president s advice and talk about the Mary Landrieu . Shes absolutely going to say and democrats across the country are going to say theres a difference between our side and their side. Our side supports this law, making it work better. Their side wants to take it away. People dont want that fight anymore. Right, the one thing that is much more unpopular than the Affordable Care act is repealing the Affordable Care act and people are tired of the fight that shawn and his side keep pushing. There is some debate whether you ought to drop the repeal part and talk about changing it and fixing it. I want to remind you of something your chairman said when he was on this show talking about obamacare and the effects a couple of months ago. This issue is going to be toxic for the democrats. And believe me, we will tattoo it to their foreheads in 2014. We will run on it and they will lose because of it. Is that still what republicans are going to run on . Its clear that obamacare is still the number one, number two, number three issue going into this election. And the Mary Landrieu ad is typical of what were seeing from races throughout this country. Whereas democrats are running from it, distancing themselves, talking about things theyve done, they wont talk about the fact they were the deciding vote, they were out there advocating for it. In my opinion, i hope they take the president s advice, frankly, for our sake. But race after race, the reason that were expanding the map that oregon, minnesota, New Hampshire, virginia, are getting more and more into play because its working. None of that is true. Oregon, virginia, New Hampshire are actually becoming more and more really . Separate from that. Separate from that. Only three people. Only three places in the country where people agree with you that obamacares number one, number two, number three issue. Thats National Committee headquarters and the Senate Committee headquarters. The American People could not be more clear that they want to get back to talking about i hope you do believe that. I really hope, hope you believe thats true. Because i will i would love to i cant wait till i see majority leader mcconnell. Let me ask you clearly in the senate, the democrats are going to give free reign to the folks. Its hard for me to believe the republicans can run from now to november just on aca. Well, look, the the number of americans that are disappointed with obamacare in the last gallup poll. Its 54 . The numbers of people and the stories continue. Just this week, we saw a number of widows in alabama lose their insurance because of this. The stories continue of the number of people losing their doctors, their plans and their insurance rate going up through the roof. I agree with shawn when you get additional anecdotes, republicans will use that to make their point. On the other hand, i think the cake has been baked on aca, candy. I dont think there are a whole lot of people changing their opinions now. While on the one hand, republicans keep it simple, stupid. Okay, theyve got one message, thats a fine message, youve got to talk about growth and jobs and what the president does or has not done. Stu, let me get you to kick off a discussion about a specific race. Mitch mcconnell. He is now, at least for the past quarter, been outraised by his democratic opponent. Hes polling terribly, both in approval and, you know, running fairly even with her. How much trouble is the republican leader of the senate really in . Well, i think the race is competitive. Its in play, its one of the few opportunities democrats have. I wouldnt oversell it for this reason. Right now, all the analysis, all the context is about the republican primary. So people who support the republican challenger to Mitch Mcconnell will not say theyre supporting mcconnell in the general election. And yet the Approval Ratings seem to at least hes really unpopular. And used to be that if you had a candidate who was below 50 , who was returning and below 50 , he was toast. For all of the republican bluster about the president s Approval Ratings or the acas Approval Ratings, both the president and the aca are more popular in kentucky than Mitch Mcconnell is. Hes in very, very real trouble in kentucky. It is financially competitive, competitive in the polling. Running a fantastic campaign. I would be very surprised if he even returns as republican leader. Ill be surprised if he returns to the senate next year. Mitch mcconnell will not only return, but hell be the leader, a majority leader. And thats because for all the talk, the president s Approval Rating is low. His cash on hand is significantly higher. Twice as much. Right. This is as stu pointed out. I think this is a washington parlor game when it comes down to it. Her Approval Ratings arent great. Turn to iowa where you had what looked like and youre talking about expanding the map. One of the places theyre now expanding the map is in iowa. Which looked as though the democratic candidate would win. And then went to fund raise. In front of some trial lawyers, running for senate. He goes to texas, hes fund raising in front of a bunch of trial lawyers, and he talked about if the senate turns republican, that meant that the chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee would be Chuck Grassley who is a long standing republican from iowa. And heres what he said about Chuck Grassley. You might have a farmer from iowa who never went to law school, never practiced law serving as the next chair of the Senate Judiciary committee. Well, i think he apologized for that comment. And most people move on. And heres why i think its going to be enough because he actually has a long history of fighting for iowa farmers and fighting for iowans versus either of the two republican candidates. Remember, these elections are contrast. And anyone that thought iowa wasnt going to be competitive doesnt know the state of iowa. Whomever hes up against opposes the farm bill, opposes or supports the ryan budget which cuts funding for agriculture and rural communities. Whereas hes been in support of those things. I think hell do fine with that iowa is one of the top three agricultural states. When you start insulting farmers this is sort of an inside washington analogy. But this is like Martha Coakley insulting red sox fans not knowing who Kurt Schilling was. I think your point, going to iowa, insulting farmers. And it wasnt just one mistake. Then he posted a picture of a farm on his Facebook Page from england. So he tried to dig himself out of the hole and dug himself and insulting farms in iowa is like insulting red sox fans in boston. It doesnt work. If you think thats going to trump your candidates opposition for the farm bill and support for the ryan budget that hurts the communities, then thats more insulting to the farmers than anything else. Where this race really is. Its a competitive race that leans democratic because the president carried with 52 last time. Two credible candidates, mark jacobs, the former ceo of reliant energy. You get an election where its about the president and bruce brailey is in big trouble. If its about the republicans and tea party and the republican candidates, then hes got a better chance. Its competitive with a slight democratic edge. I want to ask you about a different race in our final minutes and that is West Virginia, something you have, believe is locked down in your column. In the republican column. There was an interesting article, i think, from shawn trend, a conservative who said, whoa, we may just be a little too optimistic about this race. And he set out an analysis, which basically said i can see how democrats actually might win some seats coming up. And heres how. And one of the things he said was, he would not be surprised to wake up the day after the elections and find out that the democrat held on to the seat rather than the republican you all are counting on. Well, i think thats might wake up in a dream state, but that would be the closest. You know, her familys been an institution in West Virginia. Shes running a fabulous campaign, representing the First District tremendously well. Shes done a great job fighting for people of West Virginia. She has tried before. And this has become a Family Affair running against shelly. One of the things is, youre also running against history here because West Virginia has a very firm tradition of putting democrats in those right, and you look at joe mansion who ran, a former governor who ran for the senate. They might do well in state races and the gubernatorial level. But it has shifted tremendously. One of the things i like about the Playing Field for us this cycle and West Virginias a good example of this, is the number of Republican House members that they are running for these senate seats. The republicans in the house of representatives are about the most toxic brand you will find anywhere in any poll. And the fact that these are the people, these are the people who are supporting the ryan budget that are so out of touch with most americans that are now going theyre trying to put up statewide, it is why places like georgia, it is why state after state after state, i really like our chances. Im at the end here of my time. I need the three of you what will surprise me the day after the election in terms of a senate race. I think democrats are going to pick up both really competitive republican seats in kentucky and in georgia. I think probably udahl loses in colorado in a race that three months ago was off the table. I think New Hampshire, oregon, minnesota and virginia all trend our way and we pick them up. I like your positive attitude. Well bring you back if that happens. Well pick up seats in the house, as well. Some easter humor from you. Thank you all for joining us on an easter weekend. Happy easter. Thanks.

[ male announcer ] you get there. Youre a go for landing, over. [ male announcer ] the all new cadillac cts, the 2014 motor trend car of the year. That is Copley Square in boston. Tomorrow will be the finish line of the Boston Marathon, the am race kicks off tomorrow morning. When two bombs exploded near the finish line last year, iraqs ambassador to japan ran his first ever marathon there to raise money for 2011 tsunami victims families. Now serving as the iraqi ambassador to the United States, he is set to run the Boston Marathon tomorrow. Mr. Ambassador, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for having me. Why is it important for you to run the Boston Marathon tomorrow . Its a sign from the iraqi people to our american friends that we will need to stand with each other. And we will always work to with each other, to fight against terrorism. So this is symbolic to you . Certainly. And theres a lot i read an article, i think, you wrote for the boston paper sort of comparing iraqs run toward democracy with a marathon. Its a marathon run, its a long review, we need to prepare our minds, our bodies for it. And we also have to be aware of the objective. Its not easy to achieve, but when you achieve it, you feel great. And you are moving along that road in iraq. Your country having parliamentary elections. Fourth elections. The fourth elections and the first since u. S. Troops left. So its its an important election, and theres a lot of worry about it, at least as i read it. Because you have had a lot of violence the first a lot in the most in several years in iraq. So some of those some of the polling places will not be open where theyre fighting against terrorism is the heaviest. Can you have a complete democracy when terrorism is such a part of the daily life there . Well, on the first part of democracy, we cant say we have full democracy. Democracy takes time, culture to be created. What we have here is determination of the iraqi people. The percentage of participation looks like about 60 . This has been dragged out for the last few elections. Even those, for example, those have been displaced internally, were extremely keen for them to participate. So we are determined to get everybody in the upcoming election. As you approach these elections, compared to when u. S. Troops left iraq, is iraq more or less safe on this election . What we have in comparison to the elections, even before, we always had campaign by the terrorists al qaeda and their affiliate. In trying to disturb the election and trying to dissuade people from participation. So always anticipated that. And this election if you compare us to before the troop withdrawal, the participation is high. Everyones keen for parliament to be the only place for resolving the political differences. So in that sense, i think we are in the right trend. We are cementing a new culture of democracy in iraq. You wrote when you wrote in the Boston Herald recently. One of the things you said was on the security front, iraq needs American Equipment and expertise as well as strategic coordination and intelligence cooperation. What does that entail . And do you have any sign from the Obama Administration that it will be forthcoming . The administration has been very supportive. It has been understanding the challenge we have, the scale, the depth of the challenge. We are new in developing our own infrastructure and creating the security and military infrastructure. The u. S. Troop, when they left, a lot of expertise left with them. We have new challenges. We also have a new situation in the geopolitics of the region in syria. In a way, that administration has been understanding. What were after is full u. S. Support, not just administration. Congress, others, as well, to understand and appreciate the delicacy and the importance of iraq in relation to security. And finally, what do you make of fears that ive seen written in a lot of different places that iraq may well become the next yugoslavia, will be broken up into bits, that the sunni shiite and kurdish to the north. This will become three different nations. Well, we had this story about ten years ago. We were told that the with occupation, with american presence, with sectarian war. So this is not new to iraq, this story. However, ten years with four elections and everyone is adhering to democracy has proven that were somewhat safe of that issue. We have challenges, and we have major challenges with regard to getting the right social harmony in the society. In relation to democracy and being the only tool and not being it. We have challenges, however, are we back to the 20072008, turf wars . What we have with state of flow. We have rule of flow and we have terrorism trying to get around that. First of all, we wish you luck at the Boston Marathon, and certainly, we wish your country luck in the next elections. I look forward to that. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next two u. S.

It is among the many groups trying to heal veterans wounds. Not all of them visible. Joining me now, senator john walsh and and tom tarantino. Gentlemen, thank you both for being here. Were now seeing and these are rough figures. On average 22 veterans a day successfully takes his own life. Weve known these kind of statistics for four or five years. S president has taken note of it. 100 million was put in last year for awareness. What else is needed here . 100 mir for awareness. What else is needed here . Ive introduced the act to try to do what we can to help this problem. Its a seven point plan. Sgli i think the president said will is such a big problem with not a single answer. If you could pinpoint one thing that you think would help, what would it be . This is critical to understand. Suicide isnt itself the problem. Its the end result of a system of failures. So one thing it does is increases access to care. One of the things we do know, that veterans who seek care often get better. And seeking care is one of the best things you can do. But when that care is either unavailable or you dont live near a v. A. Hospital, it becomes that much more difficult. I always tell soldiers, and im a nonarmy guy, so i say soldier. If you get shot in the chest, you dont walk around about it. You get treatment because treatment does help. And i was always struck by another figure which is 69 of these veterans are over the age of 50 which tells me a lot of things. First of all, i think in society in general the suicide risk in 50 and over is higher. But it also tells me about the length of time it might take people to seek help. Exactly. And that is one of the aspects of this bill. Right now we take care of a soldier for five years. The bill wants to send it toss years because everyone reacts differently to psychological issues. I know you were in command of a unit in iraq. You lost a soldier to suicide. I know that when you were in the National Guard in montana, that again you saw some in that unit commit suicide. Did anyone in the unit have any idea . We didnt. And that is one of the issues here. Especially in the reserve components, we see these men two day as month. So we really have to if we dont see it during those two days, doesnt see an issue pop up, we dont see it. So we have to rely on family members, employers, other people to bring that to our attention. Jama sigh psychiatry said it can be triggered by and made worse by the kind of stress that military life can be. So there should be Greater Mental Health scrutiny when folks enlist . I believe there should be. I think we do a very good job of taking that citizen soldier and making a warrior out of him, but we dont do a very good job of reintegrating him back into society. So we should give them psychological treatment or screenings to see if theyre psychologically fit to serve in the military. This is something that were actually asking the president to do through an executive order. Which is make Mental Health first aid part of what you Teach Service members before they go on deployment. They should teach every Service Member how to identify these issues. So not only you can identify and treat someone, but it reduces the stigma. We hear so often, please say thank you if you see military. Ive been on planes where they will introduce members of the military that are there and everyone claps. Im not sure beyond clapping and saying thank you that if youre just sitting at home watching this segment, you have any clue how you can possibly help. Because america has made a promise to the veterans. Most americans seriously believe in that promise, but it doesnt seem to be fulfilled. First of all, be aware of the issues. And take action. When there bills like the save act that help Service Members and veteran, dacall your congressman. It really does work. I listen to my constituents on how im going to work. And if there is an issue that is important to them, i want to hear about it. These men and women who serve in our military are willing to being a r sacrifice their lives. So i dont think we can end our responsibility whether five years or ten years after they leave the military. I think we have to take care of them for a very long time. In the he saend, is this not matter will or popularity but a question of money . I hope not. These are men and women as the senator said who stood up to serve and they want to continue serving afterwards. And part of the cost of war, part of the cost of sending people to war is making sure that the services and structures are in place to take care of their needs when they come home. But senator, i have to believe people have asked you how much is this going to cost. My answer is this is the cost of war. We spend billions may going sure our men and women are trained and toward deploy. We should take that into account when they come back home. Do you think this country and by that i mean our government is fulfilling its promise to veterans at the v. A. And up on capitol hill . I do not. I think our veterans need Better Health care for our veterans. For example in a state like montana, weve built additional v. A. Clinics. Having to travel to the v. A. Is really unrealistic. Is the promise being kept . I think its getting better, but its not there. This is why we need combat that is like senator walsh and senator mccain and the vets in the house to really stand unand take charge of the issue to make sure that we are in a place where we are honoring service and sacrifice.
