Good to have you with us tonight, folks. Thanks for watching. Midterm election, we are just eight days away. The question around the question is what does it take to get americans to Pay Attention to their government and do something about it . Well find out. A lot of people will say it will be low turnout, but i think there would be heavy turnout, mash even kentucky. The democrats have refocused their efforts on that state. Right now this race between grimes and mcconnell is as tight as it gets. The most recent bluegrass poll has mcconnell regaining a narrow lead. However two major kentucky newspapers over the weekend have endorsed lunder gan grimes. They wrote the problem is mow mcconnell uses his power. It has money to flood the air waves in the final stretch to victory. The key, of course is mobilization. Kentucky democrats need to harness the power of their successful obama carrollout. Earlier today i was in lexington, kentucky, with governor steve. The numbers are a perfect examp
Theres something just deeply wrong here that needs to be fixed. Lock the front door . Theyre going to leave the tv on. Yeah, yeah. Are things actually going to get fixed . By mid afternoon, Julia Pierson delivered her resignation to jay johnson. In an interview, pierson said i think its the best interest of the secret service and the American Public if i stepped down. Congress has lost confidence in my ability to run this agency. The media made it clear that this is what they expected. The president s family woke up to this headline this morning in their local paper. Man with gun was feet from obama. That was the latest in a series of stunning revelations by the Washington Post. This mornings Washington Post front page was clearly the last straw for the white house. The White House Press briefing was delayed three hours today and began immediately after the secret Service Director submitted her resignation. This afternoon, the president had the opportunity to telephone director pierson
Just eight days until election day. Control of congress is at stake. Ten senate races. Tougher odds for senate democrats. Everything looks like its trending toward the republicans. Why does 51 democrats matter more than 51 republicans . The republicans have spent a lot of money. They are flooding the zone with money. Its a dead heat. If they can just say the president s name enough times. A vote for greg orman is a vote for barack obama. Democrats have benefited from a fractured republican party. Democrats need a strong get out the vote message. This isnt exactly like republicans are finding their groove. They are barely holding on and they may not. Tell voters what will happen if today the democratic senator campaign released new ads attacking joni ernst on social security. They talk about relying on social security. And joni ernst talks about privatizing it. Yes, i have talked about privatizing social security. Joni ernst is so extreme shed risk seniors on the stock market. In additi
Coming well, i think our head of the Intelligence Community, jim clapper acknowledged that i think they underestimated what had been taking place in syria. And a weekend into the expanded strategy john boehner raising the stakes saying u. S. Ground troops may be needed. I think its going to take more than air strikes to drive them out. At some point somebodys boots have to be on the ground. We have no choice. These are bar bar begans. They intend to kill us. If we dont destroy them first, were going it pay the price. A new nbc news poll finds 72 of americans believe the u. S. Will eventually have to send in Ground Troops to defeat isis despite the president s insistence of no u. S. Boots on the ground. Lets bring in Ayman Mohyeldin who knows the region and the enemy well. Its a week of u. S. Led air strikes. What impact have they had, do you think . I think they have certainly slowed down some of isis push in some of the areas. Its slightly begun to weaken their hold in positions theyv
Secret service had previously said gonzalez was stopped in the main entry. Now it appears he wasnt stopped until he got deep inside. According to the post, heres whats happened. This is the layout of the state floor of the white house. Gonzalez made it through the entrance hall, then into the 80footlong east room, the same room where president obama announced the killing of osama bin laden, before he reached the doorway to the green room, where according to the post, he finally was tackled by a Counter Assault agent. Take a look at the ground he covered. The intruder didnt simply make it inside before he got tackled and the green room where he was stopped, overlooks the south lawn, where president obama and his family had been walking just minutes earlier, as they departed the white house. How in the world did this happen . How did someone carrying a knife get deep inside whats supposed to be the safest home in america . Is the secret service doing everything it can to keep the preside
