The official that scotland has voted no to independence. A record breaking 86 turn out. 86 turn out. What does that say to americans about how engaged people can be when they want to in their democracy. Hours after a terrifying isis beheading plot is thwarted, they voted for money to train the Syrian Opposition with an outspoken descent from an outspoken candidate. There were bad people on both sides. You need to stay the heck out of their civil war. Sending arms to rebels in syria is a fools errand and only make isis stronger. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. Roger goodell is speaking out for the first time in the News Conference at 3 00 to address the issues. And we are expecting to hear from president obama at any moment. An event on Sexual Assaults on college campuses. New rules. The National Correspondent joins me now from new york. He has been silent. Not seen since all of this first broke. It has been more than a week. Thats right. It has been since last tuesday. Ten days since we saw Roger Goodell in a conversation we had on interview. Today he will make a statement to answer questions from a hoard of reporters waiting for this period of time to pose the questions to him directly. This is a man that 18 months ago was rated the most powerful man in sports. Now there a lot of questions about his handling. The nbc news maris poll shows that only in ten americans believe he should resign, they are by and large dissatisfied with the way the league and the teams have handled this crisis so far. There continues to be pressure on goodell to speak out and act in greater fashion. Just yesterday the falcons on a prime time game and there was another banner paid for behind the plain for a womens group that read goodell must go. The backdrop is interesting. We have been talking about the iphone 6s and the lines being so long. There is a longer line today in the city of baltimore. They are getting one of the first opportunities to return their ray rice jerseys. The line has gone for blocks as they were being told and jerseys in exchange for another player and the league is trying to get out in front of a crisis they have been rocked by over the course of the last several weeks. We will hear from the president and this will issue Sexual Assaults on campuses. Separate but linked. There is a conversation that was started by the nfl scandal and is continuing. I finished the conversation with the head of the National Domestic violence hotline. An organization that is based out of austin, texas. This is a problem. Before the ray rice sports video came out. That was striking when you think about that. He has gone up 84 since september 11th 8th, since the day that video came out. Its stunning, but what it demonstrates is this is something that for too long in this country had been in the shadows and ultimately people and they are feeling more and more comfortable. They are sharing their stories and initiating a very, very difficult process. The polls show that 85 are still going to watch the same amount of football. Thats one of the things that people are left with. The second weekend there were four games that got more than 20 Million Viewers to watch them. This is why this is still a magnet for advertisers and sponsors. They spend more than 1 billion annually on the nfl. While there has been some erosion and some hard statements, the latest coming from marriott. Marriott putting out a statement where it is calling on the nfl to do more and saying after it sees the way the nfl handles the situation, they will take the opportunity to review the sponsorship. Thats the stuff that matters to this 10 billion thabs is the nfl. The fans are not going anywhere, but if the sponsors do which appears unclear, the nfl may have to make new plans. Here on top of it all, thank you very much. We of course are waiting for the president to speak. Joe biden will be introducing him. Lets go to scotland and as they say, god did save the queen and her kingdom in that historic vote by the scottish people where 86 of registered voters decided scotland will remain in the uk. While we were sleeping, a nation stayed up all night to feel the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat when the returns came in. There was a clear majority. Showing independence. The big winner in the shortterm, David Cameron who doesnt have to go down in history as the who presided over the end of a 3 hundredyearold union between scotland and great britain. He promised more autonomy not only to scotland, but Northern Ireland and wales. Michelle Caruso Cabrera live in edinborough. It was not close in the end, but it was that decisive vote that had strong signals. They want more autonomy. There economic ramifications as well. For sure. Absolutely. Even though they voted to stay part of the United Kingdom, they are unlikely to be the same ever again. David cameron said he was going to deliver on a promise he made before the election. If you vote against independence, you will get more control. I promise you thats going to happen. He threw a curveball in there. Its not just the scotts. It will be the people in wales and the people of england. There is a reason for this. They say wait a minute, we will give all this power to the scotts and they can vote on our affairs . We want the same powers. Its really going to change in the United Kingdom with tax revenues. Briefly while we wait for the president , David Cameron kind of dodged it. There would have been hell to pay if he had lot of the vote. Interestingly there is very little public celebration by the no to independence camp. Following that vote to keep scotland within the United Kingdom. One got the feeling talking to brits as we call them before the vote, many were in a state of denial. They couldnt conceive of a United Kingdom without scotland and they hoped it would go away. Business as usual today here in great britain. A stiff upper lip and back to work. There is great relief. The british pound spiked and the markets are all up. Bankers and business then no longer worrying about a tanking economy. By far that Prime MinisterDavid Cameron has to be the most relieved brit on earth. Back to you. Joining us now, from the financial times, they join us as we wait for the president. This is such a strong message and what are the implications for ireland and for whats going to happen in wales . How will the uk change . Two things become clear. One is that democracy works and incredibly high turn out that frankly if only that could be repeated, we would have a lot more faith in the president. Secondly it is clear that the current structure of governments in the uk is not working as far as many scotts are concerned. That will have a lot of implications. If you step back for a minute, one of the other really interesting things is scotland reminded us that occurred right across the west world. They are parts of the eurozone which are talking about wanting more information for the regions. The question is how are governments going to deal with this increasingly angry population . What about the effect on the currency . The pound was up a little bit. They now dont have to worry about a lot of huge issues. The offshore oil off scotland and the nato base and the submarines. All of that has a big effect. Good news is that the immediate threat of a break up has been taken off the table and you have seen. Bad news is a political question and David Cameron emerged from this rather wounded. There is a lot more political unsrnd that highlighted. They did say six months ago. Huge story. You are writing in the financial times. Thank you so much. Great to see you. And right now, Hillary Clinton is speaking at a Leadership Event for the Democratic National committee at the womens event here in washington. Lets listen to her for a moment before we bring in the president as he is about to step to the podium. When women vote, america wins. Thats why we are all here today. We are here because there is a movement stirring in america. You can see it in the parents in california who demanded paid sick leave so they didnt have to choose between their jobs and their kids. You can see it in the moms demanding equal bay for equal work and the dads demanding access to quality affordable child care. You can see it in the fast foot and Domestic Workers across the country who ask for nothing more than a living wage and a fair shot. This is a movement that is not waiting for washington with its gridlock and grandstanding. This movement wont wait and neither can we. Thats why we are here today. We are here because the midterms really matter. They may not be as glamorous, but the Midterm Elections are crucial for our countrys future. For our jobs and schools and health care and our families. They deserve our undivided attention. American voters have a choice and a chance. Its a chance to put americas Families First at a time when corporations have all the rights of people, but none of the responsibilities. We have a choice to make. Its a chance to elect leaders who know that women should be able to make our own Health Care Decisions and its a chance to elect democrats who will fight every day to make sure our economy and democracy work for every american. You know, at a time when the deck does seem stacked against middle class family in so many ways, we have a choice to make. On sunday, i was in iowa with a candidate for congress named stacy apple. She is a great mom who worked her way up from minimum wage to management. With enough support she would be the first woman ever elected from iowa to the u. S. House of representatives. Stacy is one of more than 100 democratic women. Continuing to campaign for Midterm Election democrats. Msnbcs stacy hunt, welcome both. As we face the midterms, you have the president and the Vice President on campuses and coming out of the Justice Department of title to make all colleges and universities take proactive steps to protect and lower the purpose on campus. Its a big deal. At the same time joe biden is speaking at a womens event earlier today. Let me give this a sense of history here in washington. It was republicans who expanded access to the polls. It was republicans in the judiciary who did the motor voter. Republicans were involved. Guys like packwood and so many others. It wasnt democrats. A great senator from maryland, but bob packwood, he was expelled from the senate in 1995. Expelled after 27 years because he was facing it two days after they voted 60 to recommend expulsion. They were 10,000 pages of do you means against him and allegations of sexual harassment. Ten women . Ten women testified. And you read it. I covered it. You were there when Hillary Clinton was talking about womens rights. For him to bring this up at a forum that he was also speaking at for women at the democratic parties. Its just the extreme. The president is about to speak. Lets listen to the president and i will come to you to comment on the outside. Not just for the introduction and being a great Vice President , but for decades and long before he was in his current office, joe brought unmatched passion to the cause. He has. At a time when Domestic Violence was seen as a private matter, joe was saying this was unacceptable. Thanks to him and so many others, last week we were able to commemorate the law that transformed the way we handle Domestic Abuse and the violence against women act. We are here to talk about an issue that is a priority for me. Ending campus Sexual Assault. I want to thank all of you who are participating. I particularly want to thank lily for her wonderful presentation and grace. I want to thank her parents for being here. On the one hand i am enraged about what happened and on the other hand i am empowered to see such an incredible young woman be so strong and do so well. We will be thrilled watching all the things she will do in her life. I am proud of her. I want to thank the White House Council on women and girls. Good job. Thank you. I want to thank the adviser on violence against women. The work that you do warning with others to prevent the outrage on the crime of Sexual Violence. We have outstanding lawmakers with us. Senator Clair Mccaskill is here from the great state of missouri who i love. We have Dick Blumenthal from the great state of connecticut as well as susan davis. Thrilled to have you guys here. Other members are here and worked on this issue for so long. A lot of people this this room have been on the frontlines in fighting assault for a long time. Along with lily i want to thank the survivors and so many others around the country. Lily im sure took strength from a community of people. Some who came before her and some who were her peers who spoke out about the darkest moment of their lives. They endure pain and the fear that isolates victims of Sexual Assault. When they give voice to their own experiences, they are giving voice to countless others. Women and men, girls and boys who suffer in silence. For those who are leading the fight, your efforts started a movement you know that as lily described, there times where the fight feels lonely and feels as if you are dredging up stuff that you would rather put behind you. We are here to say today, its not on you. This is not your fight alone. This is on all of us. Every one of us to fight campus Sexual Assault. You are not alone. We are going to organize campus by campus, state by state. This country will make sure we understand what this is about and we will put a stop to it. This is a new school year. We have been working on Sexual Assault for several years, but the issue of violence is in the news every day. I am starting to get a better picture of what Domestic Violence is all about. Victims are realizing they are not alone. Brave people have come forward and open up about their own experiences. We think todays effect is all that more relevant. All that more important. For us to say that campus Sexual Assault is something that we can say thats not our problem. This is a problem that matters to all of us. One in five women has been assaulted here. One in five. Of those assaults, 12 percent per are reported. Of those, only a fraction are punished. While these assaults overwhelmingly happen to women, men are assaulted too. Men get raped. They are less likely to talk about it. We know Sexual Assault can happen to anyone no matter race, economic status, Sexual Orientation and gender and lgbt victims can feel more isolated and alone. For anybody whose once normal life was once shattered by an act of Sexual Violence, the trauma and the terror can shader you and it lingers. You dont know where to go and who to turn to. You are forced to stay in the same class and the same dorm with the person who raped you. People are more spigz of what you were wearing or drinking as if its your fault and not the fault of the person who assaulted you. The haunting presence when the people trusted with welfare fail to protect you. Opportunities work hard. I know. Im watching malia right now. Shes a junior. She has a lot of homework. Parents can do everything to support their kidss dream of getting a good education. When they make it on campus only to be assaulted, thats not just a nightmare and a front to everything they achieved, it is a front to our basic humanity and insults our basic values. We are a nation that values liberty and equality and justice. The more people who believe every child deserves an education. Free from fear or intimidation or violence and we owe it to our children to live up to the values. My administration is trying to do our part. Three years ago we sent people to every School District that receives and prevent and respond to Sexual Assault. We remind them that it is not just a crime, but a civil rights violation. I want to acknowledge arnie duncan for Holding Schools accountable and making sure they stand up for students. Number two, in january i created a White House Task force to protect students from Sexual Assault and to work on better ways to prevent and respond to assaults. To lift up best practices. We held conversations with thousands of people and faculty and Law Enforcement and academics. They released the first report recommending a number of best practices to keep our kids safe. These are tested and they are common sense measures. They will figure out the scope of the problem. Giving survivors a safe place to go and a trusted person to talk to. Training them on how to handle trauma. When you head the accounts, you think what were they thinking . You get a sense of too many people in charge dropping the ball. Fumbling something that should be taken with the utmost seriousness and utmost care. Number three, we are stepping up enforcement efforts and increasing the transparency of the efforts. Reviewing existing laws to make sure they are adquit and keep working wit
