Most dangerous neighborhood. We have a report from the Korean Peninsula in the moment. Kevin corke is at the white house. Good evening, kevin. Good evening, mike. Solemn day for the president. Speeches, songs and of course heart felt salutes for the folks who paid the ultimate price for our country in defending our freedom. Also a day full of new questions about a brewing spy scandal that threatens to overrun the doj and fbi. We are gathered here on the sacred soil of Arlington National cemetery to honor the lives and deeds of americas greatest heroes. The men and women who laid down their lives for our freedom.

Saying they shared a love more deep and more pure than most will ever know. Among the many veterans in the audience today, 94yearold bob dole. Former kansas senator who spent nearly four decades in c
race after race. progressive beat out are in democratic primary. a win for the party s liberal wing but some democrats say those candidates won t stand a chance in the general election. just like tea party conservatives in years past who won the republican primary but ultimately lost against a democrat. think todd achin the pro-life senate candidate from missouri who once said. if it s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try shut that whole thing down. how about richard murdock who ran for senate in indiana and described pregnancy from rape. something that god intended to happen. now many democratic strategists worry these mid terms could be their tea party moment. democrats are deeply worried that their best chance since 2010 to take the house could be evaporating. not every strategist sees it that way. i am baffled by the left is winning narrative that is out there right now.
sean: one of the exit poll numbers that stood out on the page larry elder had to do with donald trump really not being a factor in this race. but in terms of the liberal media, in terms of the democratic party, in terms of the spin that will go out tomorrow and i think doug is right about this. if the dog bites, if the beestings and you are feeling sad in the world of the liberal media and destroy trump media and democratic party it s all donald trump s fault. of course they will put him in the middle of it when really trump, yeah, he got involved, and he sent a robo call in, he didn t go into the state, did he? that s true. but a significant percentage of voters in alabama who are voting for roy moore said that they are voting for him to show their support for donald trump. sean: 20%. trump is going to be president for seven years, sean. in that course of the seven years, he will have to deal with a congress that hopefully will remain republican and you saw what they did with

leader because you ve had people like christine o donnell and todd akin and all these people. the biggest done yours of the republican party are looking to protect challenges by far right conservatives and tea party enthusiasts who republicans work could compromise the party s efforts to win control of the senate. you basically have karl rove and all these donors working to head off the nomination of steve king. steve king being extremely far right, outspoken republican congress person from right. as kind of the it in certain ways as the tea party base of the party. but, you know, they ve tried some paths, right? they ve tried to mobilize in the past. todd achin was not the candidate of the republican establishment and they put a lot of money into his challengers. to me, the problems that you have, the challenge at the institutional level of the republican party. but i m wondering and you re
