That, even if your policies wont help lift people up, you dont try and denigrate them and look down on them. Thanks for watching. Im al sharpton. Hardball starts right now. Trouble at the white house. Lets play hardball. Good evening, im Chris Matthews in philadelphia. Home of the 30 eagles. Anyway, lots of news tonight. All pretty startling. Start with the guy jumping the fence in front of the white house, right there on pennsylvania avenue. Then sprinting right into the president s house itself through the formal entrance known as the north port co. What if someone from isis decided to try that route . Speaking of which, we have a top u. S. Official now saying that some americans who joined isis in iraq and syria have come home
to the states. Add to this the latest audio tape from the terrorist group saying, we americans will not feel safe even in our bedrooms. We have a look at this Incredible Opportunity for the democrats in kansas to win this november. Its in kansas of all places, i said. And speaking of wind, what do you make of the fact that 3 300,000 people showed up in new york to demand action to Climate Change. Right now to the threat of the white house, all of which was caught on camera. A man carrying a knife, and it was a switch blade, jumped the white house fence and ran across the white house lawn and through the front door on the north portico. As the Washington Post writes, its a frequently used door, one flight away from the obamas living quarters. Until now, the secret service doesnt imagine an intruder could reach it. Prosecutors say they found more
than 800 rounds of ammunition in his car, two hatchets and a machete. He was stopped by state troopers in july and found be carrying Assault Rifles and a sawedoff shotgun and a map with the white house on it. In august, he was stopped walking along the back fence of the white house itself with a hatchet tucked in his rear waist band. The secret Service Launched an investigation, but an earlier assessment points to multiple failures and some alarming questions. For example, why didnt officers deploy attack dogs specifically trained to stop intruders like this . And why didnt guards lock the front door, setting the alarm, telling them someone had jumped the fence and was headed toward the building . The incident happened just ten minutes after president obama and his daughters lifted off from the south lawn for camp david. I must say, clint hill, probably the most famous secret service
agent of all time, guarding Jacqueline Kennedy the day her husband was assassinated. Arthur of a great book, five days. Carolyn, is this as bad as it looks . Its actually a little bit worse. Several agents who used to work at the secret service have told me they are flabbergasted this has happened. They described it as a worst nightmare. Because while the president wasnt in danger, he was heading north. This signifies that the secret service isnt able to sort of keep the fortress invulnerable, or impenetrable. That somebody actually got to the front door and got inside. Heres peter king. There can be a lot of conspiracies against a president , a lot of complex assassination plots, this is the most basic, the most simple type of procedure and how anyone, especially in the days of isis, and were concerned about
terrorist attacks, how someone could get into the white house without being stopped is inexcusable. Mr. Hill, thank you for coming on. Let me ask you about the way they put information together. Three incidents. Stopped by troopers with assault weapons, and a circling of the white house on his map, which would seem to put him on a watch list of asome kind. Then hes picked up at the white house and now again today. Was there a way of seeing that coming, this guy was coming at home slowly, but he was surely leaving a trail of evidence that he was coming after the president. Well, it appears that way. And certainly when he was detained by the Virginia State police, and had that map with the white house circled, and had all the weapons involved, i would think they would have passed that information along. Whether or not they did, i dont know. If they had, he would have been
a matter of record. And when he appeared, if it was the secret service who detained him for having a hatchet in his belt, walking near the white house, if the previous record would have been available, then it would have been added to that dossier. He would have probably been detained in some manner. The fact that he jumped that fence and ran, that happens quite often. The difference being that this particular individual made it all the way to and in the front door. Thats not acceptable under any circumstances. A lot of people would think if they were that guy running, that theyd probably, if they were lucky, get a warning shot, stop or ill shoot, really a warning theyre about to get killed. Does it surprise you he was able to get all the way too the white house without anybody drawing or releasing the dogs on him, they could have done that. It surprised me that he got as far as he did. Doesnt surprise me nobody fired a shot, because thats a matter of last resort. Whether or not you release the dogs, i would have hoped they would have done so. I have a sneaking suspicion that because of the Helicopter Movement just prior to that incident, and that took place on the south grounds, which is separated from the north grounds by the house and the east and west wings, dog handlers may have been on the other side of the house at the time that this individual came over the fence. I dont know that for a fact, but that is i think probably what happened. Anyway, the secret service seemed to praise how their officers handled part of this situation. Although the officers showed tremendous restraint and discipline in dealing with the subject, the location of gonzalezs arrest is not acceptability. And the Washington Post writes
this, the secret service trains its personal not to shoot intruders on the grounds unless they pearp armed or are wearing bulky clothes or backpacks that could flabeth they are carrying a bomb. Officers at the scene considered gonzalez to be unarmed and likely mentally disturbed and thus a lowrisk. Is that the sense that they saw a guy running like a mad man if you will, to use common terms, and they didnt think he looked like he was a premeditated killer . Well, since i wrote those sentences, i am familiar with the concept and im also familiar with the fact that a series of agents have said to me, how do we know in 20 seconds whether the guy is wearing an underwear bomb . How do we know hes not a suicide bomber . How do we assess in that time period that his Mental Illness makes him more dangerous or less dangerous . Several people have said they would be fine with firing a lethal shot if hes going to
literally cross the threshold of the portico and get into the building, if hes on his way. They know one thing, hes not replying to orders to stop. Now, of course, this raises this big issue thats so fundamental to the white house. Its supposed to be the peoples house. Its supposed to be a place you can look into and enjoy as a tourist. Its supposed to be the home of a president , not the fortress of a king. And its a misdemeanor to jump the fence. And so do you shoot someone whos about to enter the president s home and the president s center of sort of his offices over a misdemeanor . Thats a serious question. Again, in this case, they decided he was not a risk. But Omar Gonzalez had a blade in his pants. So whether he was mentally ill or appeared to be armed wasnt really the final story. Was that a switch blade . Actually its a two and a half inch serrated knife. Thats all i know. Its interesting. Back in the 70s, everybody got a kick, on the left at least, driving around the white house, they would blow their horn if you wanted nixon to resign. But this isnt the first big security scare at the white house in recent memory. In 1994, a man flew a stolen cessna airplane through secure airspace and crashed it right outside president clintons window. The president wasnt in residence at the time. Also, a special report about this man, unloading 29 rounds from an Assault Rifle aimed at the white house. Watch this. We have some amateur videotape obtained by wcr tv, you will see it in the corner of your screen, a man in a rain coat who fired the shots, the sound you heard just then was the shots being fired. He was subdued and arrested by the secret service. Anyway, november of 2009, the Washington Post reported a couple of aspiring reality tv stars frnorthern virginia appea to have crashed the white houses state dinner tuesday night, with no invitation, to mingle with the likes of Vice President biden and white house chief of staff. You could take the 33 bus right past the white house. But theres a bus stop in front of the white house. It was part of the city. Now you can walk through it, but you got all the tiger teeth there. The bus goes around, traffic goes around. These decisions are tough ones because they hurt our democracy every time we, as cal says, cordon off the president. Well, thats exactly what happens every time an incident like this happens. The rights of the rest of the population get diminished and thats unfortunate. But theres incidents all the way back. In 74, we had a helicopter on the south grounds, which had been stolen. In 72, we had a guy crash through the Northwest Gate in a vehicle. He got all the way to the north portic on, jumped out, had a vest on, looked like he had explosives, we didnt shoot him. We talked to him and got him to surrend surrender. But when youre talking about shooting people, thats the last resort. When you make that decision, you shoot to kill, you dont shoot to wound. Thats not the name of the game. So, when you talk about shooting peop people, you have to be very careful about what youre saying. Thanks so much for your great reporting. Thanks so much. Coming up, a chilling and disturbing audio tape from isis, the terrorist group calls president obama a mule of the
jews, whatever that means. While threatening americans. Theyre clearly trying to goad us into war. What are we doing about it . Plus, ravens owner bisciotti is faced with a report that says ravens owners knew more about that video of ray rice than they admitted. Plus, other big stories. Can democrats pull off a gamechange in kansas and flip the control of the senate . Looks like they good. And the stleets streets of new york are overrun bepeople demanding action on Climate Change.

The New York Times revealed which lawmaker called gillibrand chubby. Its daniel ino way from hawaii. He said dont lose too much weight. Because i like my girls chubby. Gillibrand talked about this remark in her new book. Her office did not confirm or deny that senator ino way was the one she was referring to. Well be right back. Until your Insurance Company jacks up your rates. You freak out. What good is having insurance if you get punished for using it . Hey insurance companies, news flash. Nobodys perfect. For drivers with accident forgiveness, Liberty Mutual wont raise your rates due to your first accident. See Car Insurance in a whole new light. Liberty mutual insurance. Live in the same communities that we serve. People here know that our operations have an impact locally. Were using more natural gas vehicles than ever before. The trucks are reliable, thats good for business. But they also reduce emissions, and thats good for everyone. It makes me feel very good about the future of our company. Welcome back to hardball. Isis militants reportedly released a chilling new audio recording that seems to be goading america and European Countries into fighting them, while at the same time threatening americans here at home. The audio mocks the decision not to send ground troops. Quote, are america and all its allies from amongst the crusaders and atheists unable to come down to the ground . They say you will pay the price as you walk on your streets, turning right and left, you will not feel secure even in your bedrooms. The tape hasnt been verified, but meanwhile today, according to Time Magazine, some
americans fighting alongside isis and other groups in syria and iraq, have returned to the u. S. The officials said the fbi is keeping a wash on them. Gentlemen, starting with you, bobby, put it all together. The audio tape threatening to get us in our beds, the fact that we find out some of these guys are coming back from working with isis, fighting alongside them and back to the states. And the fact that the white house seems penetratable. The person watching this show says, you know what, i can see a chain of events here that i dont like. Your thoughts . Well, take them one by one. That audio tape is classic, street thug language, and this is what you expect from a group like this. This is not a conventional military, although they do have some aspects of military. They like baga doch yay, they like to sound off on their
enemies from a comfortable distance. So expect much more of this kind of language. Those of us who have been monitoring this group for over a year now, weve seen this rhetoric in the arabic language against their local enemies. So this is not entirely surprising. On the question of how Many Americans have come back from the fight in syria, id actually like to hear more about that. Because this was just a tantalizing hint. And the first time weve heard this, i think from the white house. Id like to know some numbers and id like to know what they mean when they say they fought alongside isis. That suggests that they may not have fought with isis. We know that in the syrian fight, a lot of different groups are constantly fighting in the same space. Sometimes they have a common enemy, which is the assad regime and sometimes they fight together alongside even if they dont necessarily see eye to eye. So id like to know more about that. And as far as the white house, that is really chilling and i just hope thats a oneoff. Howard, that last one, we led with it tonight because its our white house. Weve lived in the city and known all our adult lives about the incredible security. You cant drive by on pennsylvania avenue. The old 33 bus, used to take it up to capitol hill. Now theres tiger teeth there, youre allowed to walk in front of the fence, but the president is basically a captive inside the white house now, its very secure. Thought it was. Well, chris, youre right to mention that as part of the atmosphere that is building in some quarters and really in a lot of the american public. What interests me about that story today about people who fought alongside isis coming back to the United States is, that that was in a briefing. That was a briefing from a briefing that a Senior Administration official held today ironically in the Old Executive Office building right next door to the white house behind those fences. And my question is, why is the white house saying that now . Why are they putting that out now . And my interpretation of it, thats a piece of connective tissue between the politics in the middle east and the politics in the United States. And it looks to me like the white house is beginning more of an effort to build support in the country for what clearly will be a more openended and involved mission in that part of the world than the president has yet stated. So theyre building a case for war . I dont think so. I dont know how else to interpret the fact that they held this briefing and said, youre right, there are people coming back. And youre right, the language is carefully crafted. Fought alongside isis. I think they put it out because of the ongoing dispute within the administration not only about what language to use but how far to go. I think this shows that the people who say weve got to go
further have the upper hand. And a lot of the language that isis is using is thug, street language, designed to taunt, its having an effect politically. I want to stay with you, this is interesting. It seems to me when you say Administration Official youre disguising the fact that its a white house person, its somebody who works in the white house doing this. Why else would they be briefing next door . Exactly. They cover themselves by saying, the background on this, its an administration source, as if it came from the pentagon or state. So clearly this has a grand policy purpose, is what youre saying. It has a policy and political purpose. I think even though the president made this categorical statement and sometimes president obama makes categorical statements for political reasons and to reassure the public that he then has to work around later, i think the sort of
nocombattroops phraseology that he used is one that could come back to haunt him and one that clearly pentagon planners and others who say, you shouldnt dare draw such lines, are trying to fuzz up in and around the president s own statements. Got one more thing. Ive read somewhere years ago that the middle east have watched the whites from europe cover their retreat. You fire a few rounds and you get out of town. This charge that the americans and the europeans, its an isis charge. Its smart and deliberate. Theyre saying, youre afraid to put your feet on the ground. Youre basically covering your retreat. Youre not coming at us. Is this a goading, or what would you call it in middle east psychology terms . Are they trying to get us in or get us out . Well, i think were already in. So that ship has sailed. If they are trying to communicate in any way indirectly with the arab street,
they dont want american boots on the ground. Even the arab countries that want our help, even iraq, the kurds, they do not want american boots on the ground. They want air support, they want military fire power. They want intelligence assistance and some training. They are not asking for boots on the ground. So its not just that the west is reluctant to put boots on the ground, nobody in the region is asking us to put boots on the ground. So this taunting, it goes over the heads of most ordinary arabs, and we should let it go ourselves. Because i dont think he should respond to that. We have enough real things to respond to. Isis is a genuine crisis. So to use an american term, its trash talk. Thats exactly what it is. Tony blair would say, we cant win on the air, we got to go on the ground. Youre the best. Thank you both for coming on. Up next, a report that Team Executives did know what was on
that horrid video. They knew what was on it. Bad news for them. Anyway, this is hardball, the place for politics. Keeping the romance alive. Level 7 and setting a good example. Daddys trying. We are so ready for this. Life can surprise you. So can an allstate agent. From savings on a new car, to discounts on a great car seat. The good hands are doing more than ever before.

Better things than the pain, stiffness, and joint damage of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. Xeljanz tofacitinib is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. Xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms,
and help stop further joint damage. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. Dont start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. Tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. Your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. Tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. One pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. Ask about xeljanz. As the nfl continues to deal with the fallout over the ray rice Domestic Violence case, new cases have begun about what the ravens knew after their star player assaulted his then fiancee. Espn reported that hours after the incident, Baltimore Ravens director of security reached an Atlantic CityPolice Officer by phone. While watching surveillance video, the officer who told him he happened to be a ravens fan, described in detail what he was seeing. Sanders quickly relayed the damning videos play by play to owners in baltimore. The owner Steve Bisciotti pushed back against that report, but was asked if his director of security relayed a description of that tape to the team . I believe he did. I believe he communicated off of
the description that policeman did, which was off of what we now have as an incredibly shaky video. Have you seen that . Okay. So, that was what the policeman was describing the scene to darren off that original tape that kept going backwards and things like that. Well, you saw every defense in the book. Thats a record in flackery. Batchy, shaky, anything to explain why he didnt see what he saw. Joining me now is diana rossy, the nbc 4 Sports Reporter in washington. It seems to me he admitted the fact here after all that blah, blah, blah. Yes. That the team owners knew what happened in that elevator, just like the nfl probably did get a copy of the tape. A woman executive got it. But obviously Roger Goodell refused to do the obvious and
walked around and said who here among the few female executives got that tape, instead of having the former head of the fbi spend the next six months or so wasting his time until the temperature comes down and he can keep his 44 big ones in perpetuity. Thats just my thinking. Thanks for having me on. Were at a point where we saw Roger Goodell go up there. Now the ravens owner up there. It seems that everyone is really good at throwing each other under the bus. No one seems to be standing up there taking full responsibility and telling us the truth of exactly what happened and who dropped the ball here. You know, weve been saying this since three weeks ago, something stinks about this case, and it seems to just get worse every single week. We still hasnt been able to figure out exactly why the nfl, why the ravens, havent been able to put together how janay rice was knocked unconscious. If they knew he socalled slapped her or punched her, no one has answered that question yet. Every single press conference ive been watching, i just keep thinking, how did they think she got knocked out . How is that allowed . So theres tons of questions that need to be answered and this investigation is hopefully going to find those. Wasnt his original explanation that he slapped her with an open hand and hit her against the wall and it was the wall that did the damage . Yes. I heard that was the original cover story. I dont know if its true or any element if its true. Yeah, that was definitely the original story there. And chris, it was just brought up this zerotolerance policy, maybe that the nfl should instate, which would work out the way youd see a Domestic Violence case happen in the nfl or a player would get arrested and he would be immediately suspended from the nfl. And you know, the ravens owner was trying to bring up a point, you cant do that. Thats not the way to solve
Domestic Abuse in the nfl. So granted, this ray rice story has brought so much attention to Domestic Violence, not just in the nfl, but in our country. The nfl, its very obvious right now, they need to make changes. I believe the only way that Domestic Abuse is going to be handled the correct way and at least get better in the nfl is if the organization starts facing fines, suspensions, draft picks. Thats the only way that well see change with the rules with Domestic Abuse concerning players, owners, coaches in the nfl. Diana, thank you. What seems to be the pattern here, keep the possession of the ball, keep the star player on the field no matter what, keep the secrets if you have to. Thats the consistent pattern from the nfl, Roger Goodell and bisciotti again. Theyre covering up. Up next, democrats could score a big surprise in the senate battle. And take a look at the heated debate this weekend in arkansas in that governors race between
mike ross and acea hutchins. In 12 years in congress, if you want to talk about his record, he voted for nancy ploly four times and voted against her twice. [ all speak at once ] pelosi had an opponent, i gave a nominating speech for her opponent with her sitting in the front row. I just said you voted for her four times. I didnt say anything else. I said you voted against her as well. Dont get so defensive about your flip flopping on nancy pelo pelosi. Mail. Good news fedex has flat rate shipping. Its called fedex one rate. And its affordable. Sounds great. [ cell phone typing ] [ typing continues ] [ whoosh ] [ cell phones buzz, chirp ] and we have to work the weekend. Great. More good news its friday woo [ male announcer ] ship a pak via Fedex Express saver® for as low as 7. 50. Only let you earn bonus cash back at a few places. Then those categories change every few months first coffee shops. Then amusement parks. I am not amused. But the quicksilver card from capital one is going its own way. Because quicksilver earns you unlimited 1. 5 cash back on everything you buy, everywhere you buy it. Dont follow the crowd. Whats in your wallet . Looks like were about to board. Mmhmm. Im just comparing Car Insurance rates at progressive. Com. Is that where they show the other guys rates, too . Mmhmm. Cool. Yeah. Hi. Final boarding call for flight 294. [ bells ring on sign ] [ vehicle beeping ] whos ready for the garlic festival . This guy bringing our competitors rates to you now, thats progressive. Iwith something terrible to admit. I treated thousands of patients, risked their lives, while high on prescription drugs. I was an addict. Im recovered now, but an estimated 500,000 medical professionals are still out there, abusing drugs or alcohol. Police, airline pilots, bus drivers. Theyre randomly tested for drugs and alcohol. But not us doctors. You can change that vote yes on proposition 46. Your lives are in our hands. Heres whats happening. Three afghan army officer who is went missing over the weekend have been found trying to cross the border into canada. They disappeared during a Training Exercise on cape cod. The u. S. Forces carried out four air strikes today southwest of kirkuk. Targeting vehicles, a tank and a humvee. And theres an experimental drug for ebola, the same drug who
treated a doctor who contracted the disease while working in western africa. Back to hardball. The people of kansas elected me to go to the u. S. Senate. The u. S. Senate is in washington. My home is dodge city and im damn proud of it. [ cheers and applause ] mr. Orman . Well, i suspect senator ive been to dodge city more this year than you have. Welcome back to hardball. That was threeterm republican pat roberts and his opponent independent businessman greg orman debating earlier this month in a potentially gamechanging development. The red state of kansas could turn blue this november making the gops path to victory harder than they thought. Republicans may need to win seven seats to win control of the senate. The latest polling has roberts trailing orman by one. I think hes trailing by more than that. A correspondent for Time Magazine and msnbc political analyst and Washington Bureau chief. And clarence page, arthur of the new book culture worrier. I got to get your thoughts about the white house scam. This guy goes running across the fence. Hes no genius or acrobat. He clears the fence, makes it inside the white house, carrying, i think, it was a switch blade. He had already been fingered before, carrying assault weapons with a map of the white house circled on it. Theres all the indications in the world this guy was maybe looney or headed towards the president , to possibly kill him. And nobody noticed this, apparently. Your thoughts, clarence . Because we have isis out there would like to know the route to the north portico door and this guy is showing them the way. I want to know what happened to a missile dog, that Great Secret Service dog who was supposed to come out and knock down intruders like a missile. It seems like everybody was loose at the switch with the president ial family being away. And obviously theres going to be lots of investigations and reprimands going on and a lot tighter security, but i think this guy got lucky, it looks like, inasmuch as its worth. David, along those lines, we just got a report today, were getting reports of audio, hasnt verified that its isis, it probably is. Isis is saying theyre coming to get us in our beds. This is an interesting connection. The day the president s house gets broken into and penetrated, theyre talking about getting us in our beds. It has a credibility factor to it us. Nothing would make us happier than drawing the u. S. Further and further into this war. Right now, they are competing with other islamic groups for the hearts and minds of people who they believe are antiwest and going up against the united
states, being fingered as the number one priority by the United States is really in their interest. Its exactly what bin laden tried to do in drawing us into war in iraq and elsewhere. So doesnt surprise me at all that they want to make this, you know, not the breakin of the white house, but they want to make the conflict in syria and iraq about the United States. They want to scare us and have us move in more. And were going to continue to have that, and thats why it will be hard to have rational debates. Seems to me the white house is trying to draw us into it to. A high level official walks to the old executive building and tells everybody, hey, we got some americans coming back from working alongside isis. They could be up to trouble. But were watching them. Why would they put out that statement, unless they wanted to get us excited about this war . Well, clearly they want war in america to warn americans attack is coming. Diane feinstein is very strong terms said its not really a question of if, its a question of when. And she believes firmly there will be an attack on the homeland sometime soon. Theyre ratcheting up that language to in some ways justify going to war in iraq and syria and fight isis. Because otherwise the polling for going back to war in the middle east is terrible. Nobody wants to go back to war in the meeiddle east. You have to say theres imminent danger, a reason why were doing this. I know im jumping around here, but this day is fascinating. They have a shot with greg orman, and everybody assumes hes going to organize with the democrats. He looks like he can knock off sam roberts because of the fact that roberts doesnt have a house in kansas. The conservatives dont like
roberts. The independents are saying roberts. So it looks to me that theres a good shot at democrats picking up, like they picked up maine, picking up a conservative state like kansas this way. Yeah, this is what Vice President biden would call a big fing deal here. They havent had that in 80 years. Its amazing roberts is in this much trouble. Orman needs the help, of course of the democratic candidate who is trying to stay off the ballot while the republican secretary of state is trying to get him back on to the ballot to divide roberts opposition. If that effort fails and roberts has to do a head to head with orman, i think youre right. Orman has a very good chance of winning. I know you got to be objective here, but youre in a round table, which is a
dangerous place to be. Watch out. Do you think this is a good one for the democrats to dream for, that they could make it hard for the republicans to carry the senate. Because theyd have to carry seven seats if they can steal one in kansas. To me, it seems its all about money. In august, the democratic Senator Committee had 5 million more than the republicans did. Overall, democrats have raised a lot more money. And mitch mcconnell, the Senate Minority leader is in a race that will cost him 100 million to win. Theres no money for the republicans out there. If they have to defend yet another seat, theyre going to have to have the sophies choice, come to jesus moment, where you have to decide, do you want to save your majority or save your minority leader . [ all speak at once ] whos going to win in kansas . I couldnt get it out. Whos going to win in kansas . Are you going to tell me . Its so hard to say, but theres a lot of anger against governor brownback, and it seems to be trending towards the independent democrats. Theres a lot of dark money out there too. Theres a lot of folks out there, ever hear of the coke brothers . What state are they from . Kansas. They and others, if they see this seat as being key to the republicans losing gaining control or not gaining control of the senate, they have lots of time left to flood kansas with money i dont think money can buy you love. I dont think money can buy you love. I think the guy has a problem with his residency. I like pat roberts, but let me tell you something. Sam roberts writes for the times. The guy has a real problem. You cant represent kansas and not in some way live there. Anyway, stick around. Up next, were not used to seeing huge protest marches like in from the 60s. But yesterday, look at this. A show of real concern. Finally people in the streets about something. This time about Climate Change, and its all over the world, but especially in new york. 300,000 people 310,000 people took to the streets to call for action with the United Nations coming to town. This is overwhelming turnout for the people. It shows the powerful, undertheradar strength of an issue that politicians dont talk about. Al gore was there. And another race, wendy davis, last years queen of the filibuster, took on her opponent side in a gubernatorial debate. Lets watch them go at it. My opponent, on the other hand, has paid women in his office less than hes paid men. Hes campaigned with a known sexual predator who has bragged about having sex with underage girls.

Looking for something better. Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. You drop 40 grand on a new set of wheels, then. Wham a minivan tbones you.

Liberty mutual insurance. Welcome back to hardball. Im back with our round table. The topic now, the overwhelming turnout of 300,000 people yesterday in new york. The images of the march covered the front page of the New York Times with the headline, taking the call for timt
Climate Change to the streets. From london to peru to berlin and rio, it was characterized as the largest climate march in s. Al gore hs back. U. S. Secretary general. Well, todays secretary of state spoke at the u. N. About the urgency of addressing Climate Change. It is absolutely imperative that we decide to move and to act now. You dont have to take my word for it. You dont have to take al gores word for it. You dont have to take the ipcs word, the framework convention, all of those people sounding the alarm bells. You can wake up pretty much every day and listen to Mother Nature who is screaming at us. Tomorrow, president obama will speak and join more than
120 World Leaders at a daylong climate summit. David, i think the thing about this is you still have the nonothings, the science deniers, the clown card i like to call them on the republican side, mostly republicans, who absolutely refuse any Scientific Evidence who say that this isnt something we should worry about let alone do anything about. Well this is mostly politically. In the scientific community, there is a 97 consensus that Global Warming is real. Its con deuced and we better do something quick. In the political arena, you have 80 deniers. Theyre given more say than they deserve rather than laugh them out of the room. Prior to that clown car, they still keep coming up to the
fight. All they have to do is come to a draw, say there are questions out there. For the public to be not as engaged to this. Theres not a problem thats not knocking on your door, but thats going to be coming maybe knocking or howling the next decade or two. We keep struggling with that. David, it used to be that Climate Change was not a partisan issue. And then, all of the sudden, in the barack obama age, it became if youre a republican youre against it, if youre a democrat, youre for it. What they need to do is come back and depoliticize this issue and say lets figure out a way to work on this that isnt crazy. Its become so polarized. John mccain was the leader of the republican side before he
ran for president in 2008. Now you dont hear a peep out of him. I interviewed john mccain, you know, actually four months ago. I asked him, where do you stand on Climate Change these days . He said id love to do another Climate Change bill, but theres no one left to work with anymore. Its just a subject matter thats dead. I dont call it the clown car. I call it the cash car. The industries that are opposed to more regulation to try to prevent the human impact on Climate Change are very much funding the side for regulation and its become part of the conservative agenda to oppose anything that involves regulation. And in this political season, we see the coal industry and other Similar Industries that are heavily involved in this election for those very reasons. Why do people who deny science want to be on the Science Committee . Or is that too primitive a
question . Why do these guys try to get on a committee with siechcience if theyre basically Old Testament people. Fine. Theyre fundamentalists. But why dont they get on a committee where all they can do is say i dont believe this stuch. Because they either make regulation or block regulation. Thats a key part of this debate, politically. It has very little to do with science per se as much as it has to do with which side is able to get the legislation they want. But if the Tea Party Fever is not broken on the republican side, its really possible in the next five, ten, 15 years, that we may pass a point of no return. Theres some climate scientists who are coming up with these very, very, you know, troubling and pessimistic scenarios. They say there really isnt much time here. When i see mccane shrugging his shoulders, he could be fighting on leadership with that. I think the great thing about this march, though, is it shows that people say constantly that nobody cares about Climate Change. That in the polling, it doesnt matter. And this actually shows that there are a lot of people out there who care about Climate Change. Look, ive been waiting for demonstrations on jobs and all kinds of things, infrastructure, we finally got some people around ready to push. 310,000 of them means something. As woody allen said, show up. Anyway, thank you. Well be right back. Their biggest customer is demanding refunds for defects. So i offered to help. At ge capital, we bring expertise from across ge.

Dad and mom were married in the early 1940s when he was in the navy. When mom died five decades later, he found trudy webber. What they had in common was the shared life of being adlzheimers care givers. Can you imagine sharing the life of your love for a huffalf cent . That batch of existence is not really what youd call life. Dad and trudy had a great time together for the simple reason they were a match made in heaven. Well, today, down in ocean city, new jersey, where my brothers and i spent so many summers, trudy got her send off, mostly from her first family, but also from my brothers and i who were there to join her just as my dad and her had joined each other and knew what true love is. By god, he said such truth about appreciating what you have, not judging others, not worrying about the past but looking at
