labour trafficking involving women and children. >> these are not far away, kids in far away lands. these are our kids on our street corners, our truck stops, our moments and casinos. >> the federal bureau of investigation's operation cross-country initiative followed support on human trafficking that named thailand and venezuelan as a frequent trafficking. texas is a place where trafficking. we travelled and talked to a woman who got her life back. >> reporter: when norma answered an ad to come to the united states for a job. she had no idea her employer would trap her, making her a slave. she asked us to cop seal her identity -- conceal her identity. >> he locked me in the bathroom. i begged him to let me go. i was kpt there for hours. she was told if she called police, they would be killed. she said she was threatened and sexually abused. when her employer fell asleep, she called police. along the border it is a prime location. victims can be forced to work in restaurants, nail salons, in brothels and massage parlours. this undercover investigators says norma's case is not unusual. >> we had victims from africa, indonesia, pakistan. they are usually wealthy individuals, and they'll bring maids and nannies from overseas with work visa, and the problem - that's one of the hardest cases to detect, because it's happening within the confines of a home. >> reporter: in march

u.n.i.c.e.f. who speaks about many issues, including child trafficking. lay it out so we are clear what child trafficking do we entail. >> child trafficking is the movement or harbouring or transportation of children for the purposes of exploitation. >> it sounds horrifying. let's talk about the bust where the fbi arrested 281 pimples, it seems small for how big the problem seems to be. >> i suspect, and we suspect that globally the rescues from brothels and hotels is the tip of the iceberg in terms of the magnitude of the problem. children around the world, including in the united states, are trafficked for work in agricultural settings, in sweat stops. we see children around the world trafficked to work in mines and goldmines. these various sites oftati are e world. that's why we suspect the numbers we are seeing are lower than the numbers of children affected. >> can you talk to us about the type of children that are vulnerable to be sucked into this. >> it's interesting. it's a great question. you almost don't want to say there's a type, yet there is. much of what we see, in particular when it's children who are trafficked into sites of sexual exploitation, is these are children that have been abused or they come from families that weren't able to protect them. the safe environments were not so safe. internationally we see many children who are trafficked came from families where there's violence, and what underlies violence is drugs and alcohol. really, a weak family structure. if you had children who were in a weak family structure, there's a likelihood of being trafficked. the thing that scorps uni self is the fact that they get trafficked and exploited. it's the journey and the outcome, which is so negative for them. >> kimberley reported on the legal avenue to deal with this. is it a matter of new laws, enforcing the law? >> another great question. okay. two things. one, on the law, one of the things we need to do on a state by state and country by country basis is make sure we have house in place to protect child victims from being tape into criminal processes -- taken into criminal processes. >> criminalizing the victims. >> exactly. the safe harbour act in new york has been put in place to protect the victims. that's one dimension. we have pressure urts few convictions on the books of people who exploit children. as long as there's immunity for this, it will not end. we need high-profile convictions, using the laws that exist to hold the right people to task. when we think about laws and their enforce , it's important when we talk about trafficking to get to preches. i was just going to say, let's step back to preventing this happening in the first place. >> someone did a study on the money spent on law enforcement and border patrol as opposed to money spend on strengtsening welfare services, support to families, empowering children to be alert. we need to up the investments in prevention, and they never should go through the experiences that they go through. >> absolutely, they should not. thank you for signing a light on this. the child protection chief of unicef. a woman in south sudan started a refuge

parliament. the national coalition decided not to attend parliament. unless the political powers put a roadmap to stop it, they'll save the country. >> this will be a blow. this bloc didn't ally the prime minister, it has sway with those that are. it's an instance of the pressure that nouri al-maliki is under. on tuesday, iraq's legislature is said to meet in baghdad. many are hoping for a new leader to be elected. it will expose divisions in iraq. zeina khodr has this report. >> reporter: he may be miles away from the battle ground, but in a way this man winter gamage against an enemy,

there's no army in iraq. they are nouri al-maliki's iranian backed militias. >> this conflict has been in the making for years. forming a government may not be enough to end the rebellion. after all,

weapons in the face of i.s.i.l. rebels. it's facing one of its formidable challenges yet. >> iraqi government soldiers move up on positions near the front line. on the if as of it, this is a -- face

for better weapons, and they say they need russian made jets to strike i.s.i.l. positions from the air. >> we have a need for russian sukhois, which specialise in supporting troops in combatting terrorism. this will come into terrorism to support the troops and fight the i.s.i.l. organization. at one point iraq maintained a military that was the fourth largest in the world. it's changed. now

netanyahu said he held responsible for the rocket fire, mahmoud abbas, because he formed a unity government with hamas earlier this year. that is something that insensed the israelis. it's very much in keeping with the rhetoric coming from binyamin netanyahu at the moment. he wants to keep up the pressure on that unity government, and is saying so, that anything that is happening now, the rocket fires as well as the three missing israeli settlers that wept missing 2. -- went missing 2.5 weeks ago, he's holding mahmoud abbas responsible for that. >> jane ferguson in jerusalem. in syria there

structure is a patchwork of different authorities. ceasefires proposed by leaders in donetsk are rejected and ignored by separatist militia leaders in slovyansk, 5km in that direction. we heard artillery fire while we've been standing here. finding peace means resolving differences, and rivalries, between the different separatist commanders. all of which leaves residents caught in the

this is the border fence that physically separates california from mexico. it's made out of recycled steal metal plates that were used as landing platforms in the vietnam war. >> this fence serves a new purpose in what kill grift and others see as another war, one that he's been fighting since 2004, when he founded the minute man project, a band of so-called patriotic civilians who took up arms to combat illegal immigration along the border. >> my country is not a nation governed by the rule of law. it's a nation governed by 535 members of the u.s. house and senate for for whatever reason

take care of them. i didn't think he had it in him to leave, now i'm basically alone. >> reporter: this spring axel headed north. i met him in april. after a failed attempt to cross the desert, he

some things i'm not supposed to say. you join or you are killed. boys as young as 12 had to lee. leaving seems to be the only solution. >> reporter: axel is in the u.s. now. he may have to come home.

teens in the west bank since 12 june. >> president obama will nominate a replacement to take over the troubled department of veteran affairs. his choice is former proctor&gamble bob donald. it is sunday night and time for a look at "the week ahead". an independent panel just released recommendations on how to stop sexual assault in the military. they are due to presents findings to congress. the military is acknowledging that the problem is getting worse. we begin with this report from richelle carey. >> reporter: despite several hearings op capitol hill, there's no way forward to deal with the problem in the military and sexual assaults. the panel has until monday to present a report. many victims told their painful stories to congress. >> the provider looked at me, right in the ice and said "well, do you really think you were raped?" . >> reporter: earlier this year a study was released saying sexual assault in the military was worse than thought. there was a 50% increase from 2012. the real numbers may be higher. a pentagon survey estimates 26,000 service members were sexually assaulted in 2012, up from 19,000 in 2010. the defense department believes a rise in cases believes more victims are comfortable in coming forward. >> it's been my experience that there was gender issues. >> reporter: some believe the only way to get justice is to change thinking. senator gillibrand pushed for the cases to be moved from the chain of demand and september to an independent posterior. a measure to make it happen, the military justice improvement act was shut down. >> for two decades there has been zero tolerance, but all we have seen is zero accountability. a rival bill got through the senate. the house is yet to take it up. >> the argument was posed as victims versus commander, whose side are you on. not that simple. >> a victim's protection act allows a decision whether it's sold in military or civilian court. the record of good soldier can not be used. >> you need one person. it's like liking from the outside. >> it remains to be seen if the independent panel agrees. the problem of sexual assault in the military is worse than many believe. >> earlier this week clinton backs the bill. she agrees that the handling of sexual assault cases should be taken outside the chain of command. also, army general st clair was demoted, and reduced in rank and retoured from service. >> there are veterans that have trouble getting help. a report found that applications for post-traumatic stress disorder related to sexual trauma, are more likely to be denied than those related to combat. what needs to be done. i want to bring in brian lewis to protect the defenders. he's a survivor of military sexual australia, and brim et mccoy. found are of women's veterans social justice. when you hear the numbers, they are staggering. a 50% increase in reported sexual assault cases. what is going on here. >> well, it's obvious that there is still rape continuing to happen in the military. all of the training, all of the coup, independent councils. people say there's no tolerance, there's rape continuing to happen in the military, some folks are feeling confident to step forward. there are a lot of people who are stepping forward under a restricted reporting. so there are still rapes in the military, sexual assault happening in the military. even though there has - fear has gone out, the statement that there's zero tolerance, apparently there's not. there are still people exited out the military, knowing that there has been sexual indiscriminate activities. there are so many cases that go unreported. you are in the military and a victim of sexual assault. what was the attitude when it came to reporting the sexual assault. >> the attitude i encountered in 2000 was simple - and that was don't report it. that's the attitude that is persisting to this day. if you try to report it, we will make you pay for it. that attitude carries forward to this day. as late as last year when an airman attempted to report a sexual assault, he was sent to the states, diagnosed with a parliamentary disorder -- parliamentary disorder, the same as i was. >> we talked about the number of cases, in 2012, the most recent year for which figures are available, the pentagon estimates 26,000 sexual assaults could make place. these and incidents were reported to authorities. the estimated numbers of assaults have been rising in recent years. the military says more are coming forward. you don't think the atmosphere has changed? >> no, i don't. i see too many cases where the same type of victim blaming and retaliation is still a part of the culture, the military. president obama says he has our backs, but some of the latest executive orders that he signed in regards to this shows that he doesn't have our backs. the pentagon doesn't have our backs. as far as i'm concerned the attitudes are the same, and the status quo is maintained. >> the attitudes are still the same. ms mccoy this has been a problem plaguing the military for years. why do you think it took so long for the u.s. military to raelent. >> i think it's been -- react. >> i think it's ease i don't remember not to react. just to say "we're handling it", then another general retire, or a chief retires. it's easier to say the next administration, the next people in power will handle it, i'm going to go ahead and ride my time out and see how things go, because nothing has changed. i reported my sexual assault in 1991, and there are still men and women with the same difficulties and exited out of the military or being attempted to exit out of the military, if they don't have the right people supporting them and giving guidance. things are not changing in the military as it relates to sexual assault assault and harassment. >> when you reported your sexual assault, what was the attitude towards you? >> the attitude was i didn't understand my senior enlisted - how he was trying to help me, i didn't understand it. so, therefore, i was reporting him as sexually harassing me, but what i and under he was trying to do, create an atmosphere where he could have sexual advances towards me and condition to have a sexual relationship. he was not trying to build my self-esteem or help me get promoted by military leadership tactics. he was using his own advances as a way to get me in a private space with him. that's what happens still. >> it still happens, we talk about top leaders and the lack of action. what do we know about the make-up of this independent panel. >> the make-up of this supposedly independent panel is by asked in favour of the pentagon. the secretary of defense appointed a majority of the panel. people who support the status quo, such as the congressman and senator leven report the remainder. the independent panel really was not that independent. it was biased in favour of the military. >> you are shaking your head ms mccoy. these are retired add mirals, generals. you don't feel they are adequate to make recommendations. >> i feel they are adequate to continue the status quo. >> they posted some findages on the website. they made these recommendations saying congress should not adopt either bill introduced by senator: what stands out to you, mr lewis. >> i think it all stand out. the basic idea that something went wrong. that commanders should play a role is outdated. the senate, when they voted, or the house armed service, when they voted on bills to reduce sexual assault had a majority in one case, and close to a majority in the house. congressman from illinois, who is a retired germ, and -- general and retired commander said that he's changed his mind pause he's thought about it, and he saw how they took the defense out of it, why not take the prosecution out of it as well. i think that's the tute that a lot more senator and a lot more representatives will come to have. i think the panel's findings are out of touch. >> you testified before congress, is that correct. >> i testified before the panel as did ms mccoy. >> do you feel top lawmakers were listening? >> i believe they lisped to us at the time, yes. i would like to see a lot more action to accompany that listening. >> what would you like to see mis-mccoy, would you like to see a real challenge. >> i don't know about any change with the independent pan 'em. i perceive that the only way to remove from the military is o remove rapist and sexual assault, from the folks committing the crime. no amount of watching alcohol or paying attention to more string or giving opportunities or people to recapt or changing the stories, none of that will change anything. changing the status quo, taking a rapist out of the military and doing it by prosecuting them is the only thing that will change what is going on in the military with sexual assault. >> has anything changed for you as far as receiving care. you get more care for combat-related issues regarding post-traumatic stress disorder, has your care changed? >> no. and i've testified before congress, i've testified in a lot of place, and the care that the v.a. gives is woefully inadequate. when i go to the minneapolis v.a. it's less than what i receive in baltimore. to drag it back to the military, even though i've done is lot of these things, my discharge is the same parliamentary disorder it was then. i've been in the same room as the judge advocate germ, the -- general, the chief of navy, et cetera. i haven't changing and neither has anything else. >> the time moments on "the week ahead", what recommendations would you like to see? >> i would like to see the victims and survivors, our testimonies taken seriously. and the chain of command taking the convening authority out of the chain of command. no maurt with, with rapists in the military, moving them out, moving it out of the chain of command, i think it will make it better all around. i don't think what we are seeing now is doing anything other than having conversations. i think it's time to put the conversations and the testimonies and this information and data into action to do something. >> where do we go from here? >> i echo mis-mccoy, and i really think that acknowledging male survivors and bringing voices forward will make a difference. male survivors had to wait for quality and treatment by the military and the v.a. that concern was echoed in 2004. it's being founded for the third time. congress, the v.a. and the d.o.j. needed to pay attention to survivors, and not just the male on male assault, but neem ail on male -- female on male. we need to include the whole universe. >> obviously a lot more need to be done. thank you both for joining us on "the week ahead." appreciate it. before we wrap up, let's look at other event coming up in "the week ahead". on tuesday - european parliament holds a session in france where it will elect a new

[theme music playing] [cheering and applause] >> jon: hey, welcome to "the daily show." my name is jon stewart. good show tonight. adam levine of maroon 5 will be here tonight. the mid-term elections are coming up. it's like that moment you're about to smell vomit but you haven't yet vomited. almost every incumbent will win their race, especially in the house, which means all eyes are in the senate. will the democrats retain control? [audience member screams] [laughter] obviously someone in the audience tonight not familiar with the rhetorical question. perhaps so comfortable they feel they can just yell out, not realizing this time i can hear them. well, the democrats are in control. we don't know. it's the subject of tonight's democalypse 2014: it's all about that base. what will happen if republicans recapture the senate? the stakes are stunning. >> if the president loses the senate, he will have both houses of congress working to stop him. >> gridlock will be epidemic. >> jon: oh, no, grid lock will be epidemic in washington. that's like saying the internet will been inundated with porn. traditionally mid-terms function as a referendum for the president. how is the president's population affecting the race? >> the administration's policies are simply wrong. >> mr. president, it's clear, you have no idea how this affects kentucky. >> i oppose president obama's gun control legislation. no one from new york or washington tells me what to do. >> i'll make sure president obama gets the message. [gunfire] [laughter] >> jon: well, i had no idea the white house had such an accessible, uh, acme company-like off switch. seems like a weakness in our nation's electrical grid, not to mention an inconvenience for the president. how many times are you sitting around the house trying the read something and, d oo h! you know, these republican attack ads are just getting sillier and -- i'm being told the candidates in those ads are democrats. but even though democratic candidates are throwing the president shade, that isn't stopping him on working on their behalf. >> in colorado the president showed up for a fund-raising event for senator mark udall. well, mark udall was nowhere to be seen. >> jon: oh, that stings a bit, but if you think you're going to shame obama by not wanting to be seen with him in public, the man has two teenage daughters. [laughter] i think he's familiar with the concept of being shunned. dad, can you not president just one time in front of my friends. please. yeah. that's a pitch perfect impression. >> among the democrats running from obama, kentucky senate candidate allison grimes up against mitch mcconnell. mcconnell has a lot of strikes against him. he's the face of republican obstructionism, a stalwart for big business and he sounds exactly like this, "i sure would like... i sure would like to be elected for my sixth term." [laughter] hold on! "yep." that's exactly how he sounds. but grimes isn't without some skeletons in her closet. >> grimes' father has become an issue, too. he owns hugh jass burgers in lexington. >> jon: that's right. hugh jass burgers, a kentucky staple just around the corner from another famous kentucky establishment, e. norma's weiners. that one's not real. so her father owns a waggishly punned establishment. how bad can that be? >> the menu includes abby's hugh jass, name after his daughter abigail, and charlotte's rack, a reference to barbecue and his wife. >> jon: my goddaughter's tater tits, aunt sophie's crusty muffin. i hate my family. [laughter] so one of these candidates is associated with a disreputable association that flaunts its contempt for women, and the other has a dad that owns hugh jass burgers. boom! what if your opponent's dad doesn't own a hill lairly is named fast food joint. you could go with mark pryor's strategy against his opponent tom cotton. >> tom cotton voted against preparing america for pandemics like ebola. >> he was the only one to vote against children's hospitals. >> my opponent is pro ebola and anti-baby. well, that certainly has to be the most prejortive and accuse or the ad in the senate race, you would think. if you didn't live in alaska. >> alaska turned ugly. the democratic senator criticized his republican challenger dan sullivan. >> i want to show you a crime scene. >> i don't know how long dan sell van lived in alaska, but as attorney general he left a lot of sex offenders get off of life sentences. one got out of prison, broke into an apartment building and murdered a senior couple. [laughter] >> jon: dan sullivan is like a one-man, law and order s.u.v. plot generator. svu obviously not s.u.v. s.u.v. would be just a guy in a truck. [laughter] you try and read. how can a guy like that even dare to run unless, of course, there's some mitigating circumstances that due to the time constraints of that campaign ad was nom included that may shed some exonerating light on sullivan. >> a clerical error was s to blame. >> so i guess it appears sullivan had nothing to do with it, but i guess that's for the voters to decide. what's sell haven't's take on the race? >> millions of dollars of negative ads are flooding into alaska, paid for by washington special interests. pretty soon you're going to want to do this to your tv.

sounds like they're invading. they're not invading. they're looking for a better life. >> this is about refugees sneaking into the country and lying that they're coming from war-torn countries when obviously they're not. >> how do you know they're not? >> you can just tell. i can just tell. they just wouldn't listen. >> i'm a refugee here. >> you're a refugee? >> yes. >> listen, i don't want to buy any drugs. >> okay. >> just saying. while this person can't come in because of their color or their race. >> no, not because of the color or the racer because of where they're from and their color and their race. >> why would you want to stop somebody from having a better life? >> because they're trying to have it here. >> if you can get god the sign that, everybody else will. >> if i could get god to sign it, i wouldn't be here. i'd be on "america's got talent." i now understand how hard it is to get people excited about these children. >> we're not the same country we were 40 years ago. >> we used to hate immigrants. now some people are actually helping them. >> it's unfortunate. throughout history there have been children in one country who could not get to another country. we're all going to die some day. we can't stop that. i'm not giving a death wish on these children coming here or the illegal aliens. i'm saying that there's some things realistically you cannot stop >> i'm just going to continue to not say anything and watch you be uncomfortable. >> it might sound tough, but i call it tough love. >> so i guess we're just waiting on the love part to kick in. >> michael che. we'll be right back. at subway, we're seriously into veggies. which is why we prepare them fresh, in store. we're all about finding unique veggies. making your sandwich a one of a kind creation. so come on in and get your veggie on. subway. eat fresh. when delta bath...g") ...shower... ...toilet... ...and faucet innovations... ...make getting clean... ...just as beautiful as getting dirty, that's... happimess. see what delta can do. ...where you least expect it. schick hydro sensitive. water-activated gel hydrates your skin throughout each shave... ...and skin guards help reduce irritation. our best shave for your skin. schick hydro sensitive... free your skin.

[cheering and applause] i don't want you to be intimidated by my looks. i want you to relax. >> thank you for saying it. >> jon: you're very, very welcome, sir. how are you? you are the busiest man in show business that i'm aware of, putting out a new album, you're hosting "the voice," you're being in the movies, you got married. is this the most whirlwindish of times for you? >> it's pretty crazy. it's so much fun, and, this by the way, i'm super excited about. [cheering and applause] my mother's obsessed with you. my wife is obsessed with him. my band is obsessed with you in a creepy way. >> jon: here's what's crazy, i apparently have the wrong person on my show then. where are all... i've been obsessed with you sin kara's flowers. do you remember kara's flowers? >> i do. it was a long time ago. >> jon: no, look at the picture. that's you. >> wow that. is me. >> that's you from kara's flowers back in the day. was that the band from high school? >> we've been playing since high school. look at my ill-fitted tie. >> jon: i believe, if i'm not incorrect, that was the style back in the day. >> it was very '90s of me. >> what happened is a guy who works here, he went to high school with your little brother, and so he actually just had that picture in his cubicle. >> that's totally cool. >> jon: that's totally not weird. >> that's not totally creepy. >> jon: are you enjoying being part of "the voice." what's being part of "the voice." you're a rock star. you're out there every night, people are cheering. television is a grind. nobody likes you. the people comment on the youtube. [whistling] exactly. what made you want to do that? >> honestly, it turned into this thing and it started off as just a risky, weird idea that mark burnett, i don't know if you ever met him, mark burnett is very convincing. >> he's the producer of "the voice." >> he's the producer of every show. >> jon: "survivor." >> he's like a megaproducer of the world. he's like, you got to do this, it's great. he's really enthusiastic and english and other things, too. >> jon: what other things? >> it's like an all-over-the-place accent. he's a really excited, energetic dude. he hates me now for doing this. but he was convincing. and the show was a great idea. the concept was cool. i thought, why not? it can't possibly be huge. it will be a year and it's been like three years, seven seasons. it's just unbelievable. i think honestly, and you can tell you have fun doing what you do, and i think that if you have a good time doing it or at least most of the time, it's a blast. if you're having a blast and you're having fun and messing around and it's good and it's really rewarding to work with these guys trying to make it... >> who are the new guys, two new cast members? >> gwen stefani and farrell -- which is awesome. >> jon: it's a good season? >> i always say it's going to be the best season ever and this is our best album ever. >> jon: i'm going to put this up here. it's called "v." i'm going to guess it's your sixth or seventh album. >> it's our fifth album. >> jon: that doesn't make any sense at all. what keeps you together? what keeps a band together. there are many stresses that pull people apartment you have gotten an awful lot of attention individually. what keeps the band together and still collaborating well? >> i think that stability, you know, and kind of being fearlessly kind of wanting to just try new things, because i think a lot of times bands especially, we get stuck in our ways and we want to do things one way and we continue to do that. we've been in that position with our careers before, too, but we started being open to doing things differently and trying new styles and new sounds, which we also get persecuted for by our fans, but i love them, but we'll do what we want to do, and that will be great. you know, over ten, 20 years, you have to kind of change it up a little bit. i think that all of our favorite bands have always done that. so trying new things,. >> jon: have you really been together ten to 20 years? >> that photo, in that photo, there are three of the guys in the band since we were 12 years old. >> jon: that's amazing. >> my boys. >> jon: since you were 12 years old together? i bet somebody's got some photos in a shoebox that... >> some really embarrassing photos. >> jon: i would imagine so. now, are you calling it "v" or are you calling it five? >> here's the thing, here's the deal, i don't even really know anymore. it's maroon 5, it's our fifth album, let's call it something. then it was v. then it was 5. i forgot. everyone's question is what is it. i've been confused. >> jon: you really just go where they tell you to go. >> you know what, whatever you want to call it. >> jon: maroon 5. their new album is in stores now. now. they're going on geico's been helping people save now. they're going on money for over 75 years. they've really stood the test of time. much like these majestic rocky mountains. which must be named after the... that would be rocky the flying squirrel, mr. gecko sir. obviously! ahh come on bullwinkle, they're named after... ...first president george rockington! that doesn't even make any sense...mr...uhh...winkle. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

stewart." captioning sponsored by comedy central [theme music playing] [cheering and applause] >> jon: hey, welcome to "the daily show." my name is jon stewart. good show tonight. adam levine of maroon 5 will be here tonight. the mid-term elections are coming up. it's like that moment you're about to smell vomit but you haven't yet vomited. almost every incumbent will win their race, especially in the house, which means all eyes are in the senate. will the democrats retain control? [audience member screams] [laughter] obviously someone in the audience tonight not familiar with the rhetorical question. perhaps so comfortable they feel they can just yell out, not realizing this time i can hear them. well, the democrats are in control. we don't know. it's the subject of tonight's democalypse 2014: it's all about that base. what will happen if republicans recapture the senate? the stakes are stunning. >> if the president loses the senate, he will have both houses of congress working to stop him. >> gridlock will be epidemic. >> jon: oh, no, grid lock will be epidemic in washington. that's like saying the internet will been inundated with porn. traditionally mid-terms function as a referendum for the president. how is the president's population affecting the race? >> the administration's policies are simply wrong. >> mr. president, it's clear, you have no idea how this affects kentucky. >> i oppose president obama's gun control legislation. no one from new york or washington tells me what to do. >> i'll make sure president obama gets the message. [gunfire] [laughter] >> jon: well, i had no idea the white house had such an accessible, uh, acme company-like off switch. seems like a weakness in our nation's electrical grid, not to mention an inconvenience for the president. how many times are you sitting around the house trying the read something and, d oo h! you know, these republican attack ads are just getting sillier and -- i'm being told the candidates in those ads are democrats. but even though democratic candidates are throwing the president shade, that isn't stopping him on working on their behalf. >> in colorado the president showed up for a fund-raising event for senator mark udall. well, mark udall was nowhere to be seen. >> jon: oh, that stings a bit, but if you think you're going to shame obama by not wanting to be seen with him in public, the man has two teenage daughters. [laughter] i think he's familiar with the concept of being shunned. dad, can you not president just one time in front of my friends. please. yeah. that's a pitch perfect impression. >> among the democrats running from obama, kentucky senate candidate allison grimes up against mitch mcconnell. mcconnell has a lot of strikes against him. he's the face of republican obstructionism, a stalwart for big business and he sounds exactly like this, "i sure would like... i sure would like to be elected for my sixth term." [laughter] hold on! "yep." that's exactly how he sounds. but grimes isn't without some skeletons in her closet. >> grimes' father has become an issue, too. he owns hugh jass burgers in lexington. >> jon: that's right. hugh jass burgers, a kentucky staple just around the corner from another famous kentucky establishment, e. norma's weiners. that one's not real. so her father owns a waggishly punned establishment. how bad can that be? >> the menu includes abby's hugh jass, name after his daughter abigail, and charlotte's rack, a reference to barbecue and his wife. >> jon: my goddaughter's tater tits, aunt sophie's crusty muffin. i hate my family. [laughter] so one of these candidates is associated with a disreputable association that flaunts its contempt for women, and the other has a dad that owns hugh jass burgers. boom! what if your opponent's dad doesn't own a hill lairly is named fast food joint. you could go with mark pryor's strategy against his opponent tom cotton. >> tom cotton voted against preparing america for pandemics like ebola. >> he was the only one to vote against children's hospitals. >> my opponent is pro ebola and anti-baby. well, that certainly has to be the most prejortive and accuse or the ad in the senate race, you would think. if you didn't live in alaska. >> alaska turned ugly. the democratic senator criticized his republican challenger dan sullivan. >> i want to show you a crime scene. >> i don't know how long dan sell van lived in alaska, but as attorney general he left a lot of sex offenders get off of life sentences. one got out of prison, broke into an apartment building and murdered a senior couple. [laughter] >> jon: dan sullivan is like a one-man, law and order s.u.v. plot generator. svu obviously not s.u.v. s.u.v. would be just a guy in a truck. [laughter] you try and read. how can a guy like that even dare to run unless, of course, there's some mitigating circumstances that due to the time constraints of that campaign ad was nom included that may shed some exonerating light on sullivan. >> a clerical error was s to blame. >> so i guess it appears sullivan had nothing to do with it, but i guess that's for the voters to decide. what's sell haven't's take on the race? >> millions of dollars of negative ads are flooding into alaska, paid for by washington special interests. pretty soon you're going to want to do this to your tv. [laughter] >> jon: or you could turn it off. [laughter] but that's your choice, alaska. you can vote for a guy what lice in his campaign ad or his opponent, the weird guy down at the edge of town who shoots his appliances when they displease him. toaster. we'll be right back.

>> yes, they are the vanguard of a much, much larger invasion which will lead to the demise of our nation as a global economic power. >> children? >> yes. but they are not coming here to kill. >> they're coming here to color. >> sure, if they want to finger paint, sure, but they can also do that in their homeland. >> that's right, they're after american finger paint, so he's organizing a new border offensive starting next may he's calling operation normandy. >> what we're going to do is man every porous area along the border from san diego, california to, brownsville, texas. >> if this is operation normandy and the children are invading us, wouldn't that make us the nazis?

offer. what i am not going to do is just wait. >> the political issue has come to a head. the show down on immigration has been coming for years. in 1990 there were 3 million illegal immigrants living in the united states. today that number is estimated at more than 11 million. it has not been for lack of effort in this story. starting under president bush in 2005 they began expedited d deportation it continues under president obama but they continue to come in record numbers. they got the house and senate to pass immigration reform in 2007 but they couldn't come up with a bill and the anger grew. >> in los angeles it turned ugly hundreds including police officers and immigration marches and spread across the country. in 2012 border agent brian terry was gunned down by cartel. the third border agent killed on duty in as many years. the murder would turn into a big scandal for the doj but inflamed people who were worried among them arizona lawmakers who passed a controversial law that allowed police to check on the immigration status during a stop or an arrest of an individual. the administration challenged that law and the resulting show down between arizona and governor jan brewer and president obama got personal. they ended up upholding parts of the law and striking down others. for his part he came to office promising immigration reform in the first year. ahead of the 2012 election he announced that would be known as the dream act. >> this brings us to today. this new threat of more executive action. the president would not offer exact details but correspondent henry did digging and he filed this report. >> the bottom line, he said he wants to work with republicans not go around them at the news conference that happened after the election to deal with the power. he is getting pressure from the left democratic congressman gut reds had a news conference the day after the election blasting they sold out hispanics by not moving quicker. here's how the plan is coming together once the executive order it might effect 4 million of the 11 to 12 million i am legal immigrants here by expanding work permits allowing them to stay in the country. the criteria would be built around a number of things including how long you have been in the country. one proposal is you have been in the country ten years illegally. another proposal it would expand it as well if you are married to a u.s. citizen. the other thing they are looking at and this is why it could swell to many millions of people is expanding the dreamer situation from 2012 where as you have got a work permit if you were the child of an illegal immigrant and you came in you would all of a sudden get a work permit and stay here. the white house says the real reason they are moving is not politics but because republicans like mitch mcconnell blocked comprehensive reforms. he talked a good game about working together saying this is a great chance to put up or shut up. nicks executive order theñ÷f("@% president issues could be over ridden if the house republicans passed leg slooifrgs ride that executive order republicans have consistently said, they want to see border security first instead of worrying about all of these other issues. the timing of all of this republicans say is very interesting. they will move forward probably in mid december. that is right after the december 6th run off involving mary landrieu of louisiana. they don't want to give republicans fodder and have the order on the runoff. >> the estimated 10-11 million illegals living in the united states roughly 1 and a half million or 15 percent are believed to be residing in the state of texas. that's in part because texas represents roughly half of our 2,000 mile border of mexico when a big surge of illegal immigrants began arriving in spring texas apprehended people at a rate of 6500 people a week. so governor perry back then took action. he deployed a thousand national guard troops to help secure the border apprehensions were cut by almost two-thirds. that plan worked for him at the time. now the new governor has to brace for whatever fallout comes from the coming events in washington. joining us now texas governor elect greg abbott the former attorney general of texas and a man well versed on this issue. congratulations. good to have you. >> thank you so much. >> this is going to be on your plate in a very big way as you take office as governor of texas. you saw the way that governor perry protects it the new surg as they consider action. >> for one we are concerneded there will be a new surge of border activity in part because of the potential action the president may take. as they showed earlier this year that is nothing that is new in the state of texas. we have had people crossing the border for years. we have been involved in the sporadic surge operations by the texas department of public safety to stop the flow of cross border activity. necessitating texas open up its checkbook and pay for this. we are expecting the federal government to do is to is for the president not to open the blood gates of the border but two for the federal government po pay for the cross that texans incurred. >> he talked about not having a heart if we don't understand the flight of families that are going across the border children who were fought across the border under the age of 16 he had some sympathy over some situations do you share those sympathies. >> one of the things shown in this election even though my wife will be the first hispanic first lady in the state of texas we found the hispanic community of texas agrees with the republican position of securing the border because i got more than 50 percent of the male hispanic vote about 44 percent of the overall hispanic vote. it resinates across the state of texas. we embrace and support legal immigration in this country. everyone wants to ensure that the broken immigration system caused by washington, d.c. gets fixed. >> there's a lot of talk on compromise. the president said he will take executive action before the end of the year most likely. he said quite clearly he will do whatever is in his legal power to see this issue through because he feels congress dropped a ball. what are you expecting? >> most importantly we are expecting the white house not to cross the line. there was a mandate that the american people are sick and tired of the president using executive orders to dictate a pathway inconsistent with america's values as the president crosses the line he is going to see an overwhelming rejection of what he is trying to do. he better not over step his authority. if he does we will be involved with another lawsuit against him. but another you can expect a strong push back. >> it does look like the president will do some form of amnesty for some families through family members across the border already. what will you do in response. >> we will have another lawsuit and expect both the house and senate to push back strongly once the new senate is sworn in. they have a tremendous backlash across all americans about the dictatorial way that the president is going about in the united states of america. >> is there middle ground for you? is there compromise with the president on this issue for you and what does it look like? >> the answer is absolutely yes. what texas believes in and what i think americans belief in is there is a step by step process we can achieve immigration reform. the first step is to secure the border as long as the immigration laws aren't enforced as long as the president they will not be here illegally they won't make a secure border they must start securing the border. >> close the border first and secure it from there. >> thank you so much. >> when residents in central and south america heard rumors last spring the united states would bringham nest tee to illegals tens of thousands of them started surging across the border. will it happen now that the debate is back? we will further investigate this. the president supported support of latinos. the issue is about a lot more than politics here. up next new worries about what may happen if this constitutional crisis goes badly. >> it is accelerating and i am very alarmed by the implications of that aggregation of power. . [ alex ] transamerica helped provide a lifetime of retirement income. so i can focus on what matters most. [ female announcer ] everyone has a moment when tomorrow becomes real. transamerica. step away! [ gunfire ] >> get those things out >> get them out. >> remember that that theme played out in may of 2007 and become known azar thurr park melee in los angeles. they were staging a massive mayday protest and things got very out of control. the lapd moved in. when it was done more than 250 people were injured including almost 2 dozen of the police officers the police chief followed up with apologies in the years before and since this immigration debate has been very charged with lots of emotions in this country. after the president this week said that he was now going to act on his own. a group of senators sent a letter that they were alarmed by that. they recognized quote over no conceivable project is the power of congress more complete than its power of immigration. that sets us up for a big conversation. founder and president of solidarity strategies. let's start with chris. >> lettxp me start with you tak look at what the president and will do? how does it look? oo he made lavishes promises to the -- you heard the kind of numbers bandied about 4 million this, 5 million that. unfortunately for the president his lame duck status has intensified. now his department is thinking about hillary clinton they are thinking about getting back the senate and making the house competitive again. it would be very complicated for them if they do that. he is cross pressuring them within his own party. democrats talking about inwithing the election in 2016. that's a tough spot. >> word is on some sides he sold out hispanics he made a lot of promises, there are democratic movers of congress and the question is how angry the president is and how much he is willing to smooth those issues over in an attempt to put that mind him. >> the timing about the nuclear strike will say a lot about what the president really wants to do. he will save face and fill the obligation and arguably he will do something smaller and he will do something sooner and say this is my good faith gesture now i am going to work with the republicans in congress to make something happen. if however he is looking for sort of to avenge the mid terms, if he is looking to continue to try to break the republican party if he did for most of the first six years he will start the new congress, he will start the new senate with republican control with millions having been granted ctemporary amnesty and real outrage. >> chris, thank you very much. >> let's go over to chuck who joins us as well. >> as you look at this landscape, lots of political motivations on both sides and lots of illegal immigrants in this country. people wold like to be reconnected with their family and would like the kind of amnesty the president may be holding out for them. hope this is going to go their way. how do you see it shaking out? >> that's why he is my good friend is it's about politics it's about 2016 and looking forward. there is nothing going to come out of this republican house and senate that is good for latinos. they are not going to pass an immigration bill. they will call it an immigration bill they were going to do that looking toward 2016 for the presidency and they need to do something it is no the in their favor. he has to do a little something because the latino community was very upset. the post election shows that there was a 5-7 point dip in support of the democrats. >> how do you know that, though, you say it was based around the president's broken promise. as good star well pointed out hispanics don't vote in a monday lis tick way. they have political interests and economic interests, concerned about isis and what's going on in the world. you make a broad generalization this is a top issue with the people when it should not be>> we spoke to latinos asking them what was most important to them. they trumped be jos in the economy by 8 percent. i am talking about 4,000 latinos in 10 states where they had the election. >> what did they say they would like to see? there is all different sorts of -- many parts of the rainbow with this issue. border security is that an idea that you are open to to have border security before you start to open the gates of the discussions about further compromise on immigration? >> i run campaigns i was curious to know as well. i was born here my father was born here. my grandfather came here as an immigrant like lots of americans did. what they want to sees not talk about second rate citizens. there are lots of -- 62 percent of the people we talked to said they did. i think there's a right way to talk about immigration and latinos and about demagogue. >> lots to be said about this and more to come. tens of thousands of illegals started to surge over the border it got the attention of the whole nation and overwhelmed the detention centers there. we saw the images children and paper blankets on the floors. when they started sending them to different states around the country things got ugly in some places as well. what will happen now? will this debate going on right now lead many to start to new surge to get in before it changes could there be a new show down at the border? we will investigate straight ahead. >> these guys, are they scouts for the oh >> these guys in the cars are they scouts to the cartel? >> yes, they are scouts. hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.

how long can that order stand and what does the constitution provide as far as that is concerned. >> executive orders are proper in their place. the president is the head of the executive branch. if he gives a directive that simply orders subordinates to carry out authority in a specific way that's fine it can last forever. if he uses executive order as a preteches to do what the constitution doesn't allow him to do mainly enact legislation without calling it legislation that is completely improper and congress needs to take steps if it can to try to counter man that and he can use the power of the purse to do that and a variety of other things. >> he is a constitutional attorney who taught constitutional law. clearly he believes that he is on solid ground in all of this. we will see what happens when it comes to the show down over the decisions that he makes. andrew mccarthy. thank you so much. >> when jim brewer tried to crack down on the first state of arizona the president and the feds pushed back very hard against what she was trying to input. there's a conversation about that moment. it game very tins and very personal. we are going to take a look at what to expect in states and average americans in the latest show downs coming over the border. >> today is a day when the xee opponents of our efforts to protect the citizens of arizona to take up the fight against illegal i am grapgs and a balanced and constitutional way has unanimously been vindicated by the highest court in the land. twhat do i do?. you need to catch the 4:10 huh?

>> first of all the surge hasn't talked. they still come in they are coming in as you and i pespeak right now. amnesty is about to take off. they are petrified because they are already overwhelmed but with the new surge coming in they can't defend the border. we know they have terror coming through. if they aren't preoccupied with changing diapers, we are extremely exposed as a nation. >> the president has played down that. it is a one-time issue we saw last summer. it had a number of factors played into it. you don't believe what they are saying it's an ongoing situation. we remember january brewer seeing for themselves. >> i have been saying this this is part of his had heing see, he knows it. he wants the surge to come. there's a thing i have been warning about which is called the perfect storm when the obamacare businessman date collides with an amnesty. the amnesty will come in december and businessman date will kick in in january the unbelievable blow to the american worker is going to be earth shattering. he knows the border is wide open. he tries to make it sound like it is one sliverer in texas. in ass -- arizona i know that border better than anybody else. the way to stop this problem starts and ends with removing the incentive. you remove to the job market and you stop saying the word amnesty continue to flow in. >> the president had a tough week this election. it was not good for the administration no matter what signal they may be gleaming from this. the results are very clear, right? oo obamacare could be repealed in some way. you can't repeal 30-40 million people. you don't have 11 million in this country. if he gives them amnesty the only way to do that is if the next president is brave enough to over ride that amnesty. i don't hear anybody saying that. if we don't get the right president in place you are going to turn around have 30 or 40 million people having paperwork so they can complete against american workers. that changes a country. you can't reverse that. you can't reverse people. >> dennis, thank you very much. good to have you with us tonight. >> joining me is michael wild former federal prosecutor and emergen new jersey with his thoughts on this. >> how are you? >> i am doing awell, thanks. your take is slightly different. >> this is the greatest experiment in democracy. president reagan had the audacity to call it nam nest tee. we have band-aids put on problems rather than tradieatin this properly. we have such a political system. haitians can be on foreign water -- we have a home land vulnerable. there's not an immigration lawyer or individual with a pulse in this country that wants to have a porous border. we are a system a nation of laws. we have yet 11 plus million people unidentified inúp we don't have enough handcuffs airplanes beds to detain and inclination to remove this individual. many are giving moneys into our treasury buying orange juice and they are the greatest risk takers and entrepreneurs so people can get frightened by the guest you had on and frightened viewers of this thing. i am a second generation immigration lawyer. my dad got john lennon a green card and the juris prudence of the, the prosecutorial discretion the president will hey his hands on goes to the lennon case. we want john lennon in this country we bring the most stylest photographers here and they employ americans. >> what we want is for people to come here legally to go through the process to come here legally not pour in over the borders threaten properties on the other side of the border. it is easy for you to say that from where you are sitting but you are not living in the border area where they are being threatened where they feel like nobody is listening to them. >> i felt as a mayor because the resources are saying it looks like americans are going to be marginalized. you have to look at it differently. these are workers doing work. >> what do you suggest? you want an expanded work program? >> no. >> that's what the president is calling for. >> no. i want a reform. we picked the problems here. we can't afford to have 10 million plus people without idea fight who they are. we are the laughing stock of the world. canada australia they have point systems. >> there are many places in the world that don't let anybody into their borders. we are the laughing stock of the world because they don't have a border at all. >> we need to have a border. i agree with everybody that a border is too far. we want the bad guys down we want to have an orderly system to have the good guys in. we cannot squacare people. if i appreciate that national heritage you can look at immigration as a great tool. >> of course everybody came from somewhere else. everybody did except for the native americans as you point out. you are talking about legal verses illegal immigration. >> right now i agree with you we need to set up illegal system. what kind of legal system are we going to put it in? the last time there was reform he did give amnesty and didn't punish employers to do immigration. we have a new normal right now. we have to pay it forward so we are not chasing this argument 30 years from now. we need to set up an orderly system. yes that means our leaders democrats and republicans who are given new trucks to make sure they govern properly and take new laws in the system. recognize we may have to give status to people here. it plays out in washington you are going to see it starts being in the 2016 presidential campaign discussion as well. president obama and the democrats were able to win the hearts of latinos in 2008 and again in 2012. is that trend holding?

(chanting) >> that became the chant for millions of latino voters on the campaign trail in 2008 and again in 2012. hispanics represent 8-10 percent of the electorate. 16 percent of them went for the president's party in 2012 mid term and election. that he g they got a lot of latino support in the states. what does this mean as we look ahead to 2016 and this issue for democrats and republicans? it steve haze is a writer for the weekly standard and fox news contribut contributor. >> how does this play out? tichcally hispanics voted with democrats but there were signs in the mid term election that may be changing. >> there certainly were. greg abbott did well with hispanics in texas as you point out in colorado. they were you canning about it in straight forward common sense calloways. they can appeal to the republican base skeptical of a broad base immigration reform that would include amnesty and they can appeal to hispanic voters by a sense of fairness. >> the republican party more conservative side who want to say no who say any one who takes this as an indication that americans are okay with amnesty will pay for it come 2016. >> i think there are a number of different ways to address that. the first thing they have to do is not be afraid to talk about the issue. you have republicans controlling the sen in a gnat and house republicans. if rye pub cans came in and said we want to offer a series of sec when smal votes up and down no amendments on five issues internal enforcement measures for a second enforcement technology for a third ex banded legal immigration for a fourth and then a 5th vote that would be conditional or the first force say two years down the road that would give a path to legal status we will argue what exactly that means if the first enforcement measures are satisfied. that's the way they could handle it. it would put the pressure on the democrats and the president it would divide that party instead. >> this is an issue where the parties are used against each other. is there a reason to believe they won't do that together another are they willing to cross this off the list and find common ground? >> i don't think so. president obama with his continued threat for executive action i think he thinks this is a clever way to put the onus back on the republican. it is back firing to be honest. if you look at this with the respect of republican you can make substantive argument of what the president is doing. >> he doesn't have the authority to do this. both are likely to be appealing not just to republican base voters but to a broad swath of the electorate who sees these things comes to haissues with a common sense approach. >> thank you very much. good to talk to you. >> we have heard from the president from republicans from those for and those against. what about average americans? we will show you some of that and how they are doing it coming up next. take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. i never really thought i would make money doing what i love. we created legalzoom to help people start their business and launch their dreams. go to legalzoom.com today and make your business dream a reality. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side. there are more reasons than ever why now is the best time to be on verizon. one: verizon's the largest, most reliable 4g lte network in the country. that's right america. with xlte in over 400 markets. two: and here's something for families to get excited about. our best pricing ever! get 2 lines with an incredible 10gb of data to share for the low price of $110! or just $140 for a family of 4! and three: get $150 credit for every line you switch. the more you switch, the more you get. verizon. so while politicians battle it out over immigration reform in washington, they >> while they battle it out they might do well looking at what americans are doing along the border themselves. the minute men started patrolling the southern border in what they call the citizen watch. they didn't last. the recent surge had new activity by militia groups say they are there to help the border patrol. trace gal ber with more on this. >> the same men who helped organize a year ago have armed volunteers to help control the poorest areas between san diego and brownsville, texas. jim gilchrist called it operation normandy. instead of invading is to it stop the wave of illegal immigrants. unlike u.s. forces in normandy grans this effort will not be the only surprise. it is being well publicized and is set to begin may first of next year. they will be setting up camps and training so they wouldn't allow themselves to be videotaped. they will be armed. the plan is for them to be nonaggressive to simply support federal agents who are already patrolling the border. while federal authorities say they appreciate the efforts of this new militia they don't not endorse the groups saying customs and border protection does not impress any group or organization we from taking mat their own hands as it may have personal safety consequences. it bills itself as a law firm stakes a stand against the militia calling them a hate group and condemning their plan. someone has to step up and do what the government refused to do. our federal state and community government has failed to address and fix this calamity. it is time to bring acareness to the decade long illegal alien crisis. nearly 130,000 unaccompanied minors and families have crossed our southern border illegal lie. >> we will be right back.
