karl rove is spending another million as of yesterday. his crossroads g.p.s. group. if mitch mcconnell wins and the republicans are able to pick up six seats, mitch mcconnell is the new majority leader. >> it will be words the money, chris smith, contributing editor of "new york" magazine. >> next year, russian president tried to silence him. but we speak to his challenger, from afar. >> this saturday, a horrific outbreak. >> the death toll from this epidemic could be much higher than anyone knows. >> the search for answers. >> 8000 people are already dead, mr. president. who should answer for those people? >> who brought cholera to haiti? >> so you don't have to explain yourselves? >> no. >> "faultlines". al jazeera america's hard-hitting, >> today, they will be arrested. >> groundbreaking, >> they're firing canisters of gas at us. >> investigative documentary series. watch the emmy award winning episode: "haiti in a time of cholera". saturday, 7:00 eastern. only on al jazeera america. >>> russian president vladimir putin turned 62 on tuesday. some classically minde

. >> when you scratch the surface, you don't have to look too far before you see "look, it's karl this. >> in the '90s, in texas and alabama, karl rove pushed the courts in a conservative direction, bringing a republican takeover of the courts. in the '90s. in 2000 there was a greater expansion, tort wars became the court wars, and more and more states were politicized, and had different special interest groups putting money into them. >> he's innovative, if nothing else. a lot of this is supported by business interests, conservative business interests. the attack ads don't generally speak about the interests. they talk about being soft on crime. once a certain amount of money is flowing into a race, judges save their money, being tough on crime. >> that's right. there's academic studies suggesting that judges change their behaviour. in election years, if you look at the sentencing decisions. they tend to be harder on crime. judges raised the alarm about the pressures that these attack adds and fundraising are putting on them. most judge don't want to play the role. they feel they have

. >> joining me now, former aid to karl rove, and former advisor to joel lieberman. a voter id has been in issue. it's usually from the republican side. what does it say for the voter id restrictions. courts are not allowing the restrictive laws to go into place. i think the republican party has a challenge on the issue. most americans agree that it is fair to ask to prove the identity. i think the republicans struggled in terms of explaining and justifying the laws that they tried to implement when it comes to vars implications. >> in wisconsin, some 300,000 people would not have been able to vote. the number was more than 600,000. primarily black and latino voters. what happened is an example with politics, which is both parties have given up trying to persuade people that they have an affirmative agenda. each party resorts to doing whatever they can. that's what the republicans are desperately doing, they can't compete for younger or minority voters. it's reprehensible. thank god the supreme court stepped in creating a bull work. sending a message that this is not

karl i kahn, a huge move on the board of the ecommergs -- e-commerce giant. details on that next. ♪ >> ♪ >> welcome back to "bloomberg west." i'm emily chang. venture capitalist mark is stepping down from ebay's board of directors after a very public battle with activist investor carl icahn. of n has accused andreessen conflicts of interests. cory johnson is with me now. i spoke with andreessen and we talked about the future of ebay without paypal and vice versa. i want you to listen to what he said. i asked him if this is a sign that innovation at ebay has -- >> it's a sign of change. the industry is changing. it's a sign that the technology is changing. it's a sign that there is the opportunity to do more and better if you're smaller and more nimble. >> they probably wouldn't like the education that they're following icahn's advice but they made this decision, according to an dressing. independentsly this was the best decision for ebay to spin off polamalu. >> mark andresen is on the board of paypal and ebay but yet seen as a visionary in silicon valley

i would like to see what karl has to say about the tax rate and whether he has any advice for the obama administration. >> i'm sure he does. >> i'm not sure he has the same impact on obama as he does with tim cook. >> might be better for everyone if we figured out a way to deal with all of this cash that companies are holding offshore. we are talking about chileans of dollars. i somewhat for joining us. -- thanks so much for joining us. when we come back, we will talk about the container store. "unceo has a new book out, containable." is underwayseason and many analysts are looking for cues as to how retailers will fare over the shopping season. one prediction is that sales will rise the most in three years thanks to the improving jobs picture. one company that is taking on strong holiday sales is the container store. more than 60% of its earnings normally, during the fourth quarter, and this year is hoping to bring in 70%. that could be a tall order, since container store cut sales forecast for the second time this year on monday. joining me is the ceo, kip tindell, who has a new book

the last couple of presidential election cycles, the thinking is that democrats took a page from the karl rove playbook, and now, the republicans are taking a page laybook andmocrats' p getting that ground game running, getting that social media up and running. >> yes, and i think a lot of this boils down to each party has the most motivated voters, voters who want to send a message, and i think clearly, that is republicans right now. win controlblicans of the u.s. senate, and if they will, how will those in the business community react? >> i think you have to look at specific issues. first and foremost, republicans have a shot. device a big lust for a manufacturer. i think they're going to try to move that in january. the keystone pipeline, they might approve that, but i am not sure that can survive and obama veto. the gas tax could survive and obama veto. but as we get into winter, the reform.issue is tax i think paul ryan and others are looking to move quickly, especially on corporate tax reform. that would be a big issue for the markets. >> i am speaking with a chief political rather

. , mastere karl rove strategist. she has done well given her party has been in power for 20 years. she is someone who will also change, also offer a new direction. there have been difficult circumstances. >> what will both candidates be doing for the next 40 hours? >> there will be a few more large public events. they will both be try to sell brazil on the idea that they to get the one brazilians into better paid jobs. it will be interesting to see how they perform on the national stage of television. >> willem marx, thanks. for more on the elections in brazil, i'm joined by trish regan. one of the biggest problems this country has is that it has been somewhat isolationist. it has not embraced the global economy as it could and as it should. you see all these tariffs. i can remember being in sao paulo running out of lipstick and going into a department store and trying to buy cliniqu e and the price tag on this was so significant, you can buy for nine dollars in new york. you would pay roughly $40 in brazil. sellu.s. company tries to there, they will get hit by a much higher price

karl, can you tell a tell on that lasted? how long was the period that you are hearing actual live gunshots in the building? hearing are you are the main corridor of parliament l, and the library of parliament is apparently where the suspect was shot, so that happened very quickly. what your viewers must understand is that right before the library of parliament, there is an entry to the left, to the government caucus room other the right to the caucus room, and a security acted very quickly to lock things down and to ask everyone to take cover while the opposition -- operation was underway, and of now i can confront you that those rooms were evacuated and are under protection right now. >> how many people were evacuated? was stephen harper there as well? -- was hendy building in the building and evacuated? >> the prima stir has been evacuated -- the prime minister has been evacuated. he is safe and sound and under protection as we speak. >> we are showing a live shot right outside where you are located. it does not look like

. >> is karl rove happy this friday? >> i think republicans in general are happy. they should feel good about where they stand but not as expect even just a few weeks back. there could be son-in-law surprises and as we talked about yesterday, i do not believe republicans getting control of the senate is a lock but the odds are in their favor. >> peter cook, thank you so much in washington. the republican party, what do they need do to coalesce to take 1600 pennsylvania avenue? they just can't get there, can they? >> 1600 pennsylvania avenue is going to require a great candidate. >> can they get through the primary process to win the election? >> well, that's a good point. their primary process really hurts their candidates. and there will be less debates among the republicans next time. they already settled on that. that should help in some ways. >> we've got to run here. we'll come back. julian robertson with us. we need a day to check -- data check right now. >> futures are up and risky assets are up. the yen continues to weaken. ♪ >> good friday morning. good

take a look at these two nearly identical ads from karl rove's super pac empire. one against pryor and another against hagan. >> the next word is pryor. >> you next word is hagan. >> mark pryor with the deciding vote for obamacare. >> kay hagan was the deciding vote for obama care. >> pryor o-b-a-ma. >> hagan, o-b-a-m-a. >> put aside the date of recycling going on. is that an effective ad or ads? >> and the to the voters. a lot of these ads will be the closing messages. you need something that breaks through. if you are going on a theme they both are with the president humor is good and my guess is , that when they did the ad the first time it focus grouped through the roof. >> this is what republicans have at this point. here is an ad that visits with children and not in a harsh or negative seeming way. even though it is very negative. >> we will take a look at a different ad. one taking on the herculean task of making mitch mcconnell theme -- wait for it -- likable. >> people tell me try to do my commercials. >> we see you between two trucks. >> that sounds dang

are you cool karl? >> i'd like to think so. >> i think you are cool carl. >> just like with the phones e they are not as cool as the iphones and the androids. but they are very good phones it's just not quite as hip as the others. i don't think people necessarily buy on hip. >> profits are cool again. i think that is part of what's happening here. apple, wow look at the profits they are making. the iphone which people are beginning to write the obituary for springs back to life. the pc. >> contrast to an oracle or ibm. >> and microsoft just doesn't get anything new that's happening now. well it turns out they do get the cloud and now we're in the process of figuring out what levers do they have that they are able to pull. there are some. a big, x box quarter or well in the cloud. >> and how many years did it take for value investors saying this is dirt cheap and for them to be dead in the water in terms of strategy before they got to that point. so i do think the pendulum swings in terms of how the comp

and later, you know, those comments from karl icahn about the market being overvalued. of course, there's a lot of other people always to catch up with here at barefoot as well. we'll be sharing their thoughts. >> does look like a gorgeous day. you're missing the rain up in new york, david. >> i want to hear about gm. it's been a disaster. >> especially with the news that phil lebeau just broke. >> utter disaster. >> when we come back, scott mcgregor will tell us what's working for the company. first, jpmorgan's jamie dimon speaking out on the economy, including comments if you're interested in getting a mortgage. we'll tell you what he said when we come back. take another look at futures this morning as the s&p tries to make it five in a row to upside. more "squawk on the street" from post nine at the nyse in just a minute. greenline do for you?ity just take a closer look. it works how you want to work. with a fidelity investment professional... or managing your investments on your own. helping you find new ways to plan for retirement. and save on taxes where you can.

he was central to the battle with karl ikan. he says it's the right time. >> he said andreessen made a lot of money -- >> he made a lot of being part of the skype transaction when e-bay sold skype and they turned around and sold microsoft later in the day. i would argue that the argument was suspicious at the time. >> all right. one of these days we are going to agree on something. you agree on that, right? >> i don't know. >> just because i said it. >> i like andreessen and icahn. >>> there are some new developments on the ebola front. remember it is 21 days, that's how long the quarantine is. can you imagine that? what do you do for 21 days? >> there was a story in "the new york times." >> it is very difficult for anyone. it was for friends, family members and 50 other people all who came in contact with thomas eric duncap. that period has come to an end. duncan's fiance and her two nephews did not contract the deadly disease and the paramedics who drove duncan and health care workers, they didn't. neither did people who proce

gressive it's not about how much money karl rove can raise. it's how many people are willing to educate themselves and show up in elections. i think we're just starting to see what is going to be a very healthy process of giving more people more voice. t's not about money. st: one person writes -- guest: yeah, we're definitely going to fight about priorities but keep in mind so if the tea party priorities are plansing the budget and replacing obama care with the patient drin system there would be other ones as well. let's focus on those two because polling i've seen shown those are the priorities. balancing the budget is difficult regardless of who's this charge. nobody in washington, d.c. actually likes to put their programs on the table to be either rethought, eliminated or even trend the rate of growth. so we are going to have that fight, and we certainly have seen there are plenty of republicans that are reluctant to do that. a bigger lift is going to be coming up with a health care alternative. there's all sorts of interest in this town.

karl rove, $600,000. we saw another one come in again. could putdividuals money onto a candidate. what happens when they're talking to this individual? candidate.pose a we need to fix the citizens united decision to helping support legislation that will do just that. we need a constitutional amendment that will take our elections and put them back into the hands of the people the voices of the candidates. >> we have another question. >> i want to go back to what mr. dole alluded to years ago implying that you are just a pond of the house democratic leadership -- when if ever have you broken with minority leader pelosi? >> thank you for the question. i'm a proud democrat, but i don't think either has a monopoly of the good ideas. we need to work together to solve our problems. we need to protect our environment and clean air and clean water. ensure women will have the right to make the choices about their own body. i broke with my party on the medical device tax and broke ago lastarty a year summer to extend the penalties with affordable care act. i also broke with my party during

they have a son and daughter >> karl demaio before running for attended georgetown university before running for office demaio , started the hispanic and found that the american strategic institute offers management to conversations. and offered financial and management training to corporations. both companies he later sold for millions. demaio moved to san diego in 2002 where he began speaking publically and backing efforts at government reform. -- aimed at city government reform. in 2008 he ran and won a seat. on the san diego city council. representing district five, he's an openly gay man. and a self-described government watchdog. he later backed proposition which put before voters retooling city worker retirement benefits along with changing the cost of it. he ran for mayor. he lost to bob filner. demaio's partner is jonathan hale the owner of a san diego based marketing form. targeting the lgbt community. >> one thing won't be candidates -- both candidates have in common they think that we left into a break. so we're going to give them both 20 second to wrap up that and then we

i say, look at karl rove -- in crossroads. why did i name him? they were the biggest and most active. i said, look at all the group, right and left. the ruling gave secrecy to campaign contributions at a time when most of us support disclosure. >> could you explain how the alec situation is different from organized labor? >> you really don't know who organized labor is? >> you don't have to disclose your members. do you not think any democrat -- >> they are now. it ought to stop on both sides. if i asked the corporate supporters of alec to give us the names of all their stockholders, ridiculous. i think it' whatponsible to say, corporation is supporting the organization lobbying for the passage of standard ground laws in florida? why is there such an outlandish request? >> senator durbin has gone through so many things, it's hard to go back and catch up. but george soros has spent large sums of money on the other side of the coin. this is a clear case of intimidation. in the case of alec, they don't generally support stand your ground -- i'm sure

i don't think the koch brothers or don blankenship or karl rove are going to change west virginians knowledge of nick rahalll's ability to fight and work for coal. that is who we are. in a must -- in west virginia it , is our way of life. >> thank you. senator jenkins, any clarification or rebuttal? >> lets talk about the one vote in particular. nancy pelosi, long before obama came on the scene in 2007, said we need to green the capitol. guess what? nick rahall introduced legislation, sponsored legislation, giving direction to the architect of the capitol to reduce carbon emissions. guess what, the united states capital was fueled with coal from west virginia. here is a guy who sponsored a legislation to say, no, we will stop using west virginia coal in ing theling -- fuel capital of our united states. >> congressman rahall. >> friends, you have never met johnny-come-lately until tonight. he is on stage with me. 20 years, he has been in the senate of west virginia. ask his colleagues. has he been at the pro-coal rallies, the anti-epa rallies i have been in our nations capital , in charleston,

in addition to campaign finance reform, he and karl rove formed the granddaddy of all super pac's. i'm not surprised he is not willing to say that citizens united got it wrong. we need independent redistricting reform as well. too often right now, our legislators choose their constituents rather than the other way around. if we want to end the partisan gridlock and get back to where there is more centrist candidates, redistricting reform should be on the agenda. >> i did support efforts on the conservative side of the spectrum to counter what the liberal side had been doing for some time in the campaign process. one of the things that i am sure senator warner would not support is ending the practice of having compulsory union dues taken from hard-working virginians or hard-working americans and put toward a political action committees and political ads that they don't agree with. one of the reasons i'm sure the afl-cio support senator warner but small business groups are for me is because senator warner is willing to say that any finance reform bill exempt labor unions. >> the next

one of the main points was that you mentioned karl rove coming up through the ranks of college republicans. i certainly hope you are not him in any way. he had big shoes to fill. i certainly hope you do not try to fill those shoes and uses tactics. probably the most divisive political figure we have had in decades. which dea of wedge issues he just mastered the use of. he is the bigger reason why we anger in this country, pitting americans against americans, and these anchor point wedge issues, particularly disgusting practices. >> let's give alex a chance to respond. >> sure. in terms of talking about her history, what i meant to a mmunicate was that we have long storied history of producing leaders -- whether disagree with them or with them - and the republican party. great place to learn and serve the political process early. let's go to jane we have on the line for 18 to 29-year-olds. she's calling in from brooklyn, new york. good morning, james. >> good morning, everyone. as a young voter, i want to ask i should vote for. for example, i-pac is the the est group involved in insurance o

karl manages the process across the areas addressed by the center for american progress and is a key member of the executive team. before coming here, we worked together at the u.s. department of education where she was the assistant secretary for planning, evaluation and policy development. in that position, she led the department policy and budget development activities, served as a senior adviser to the advisor to the secretary arnie duncan. prior to coming to the department of education, she served as the general counsel and deputy staff director for the late senator edward kennedy as chairman of the health education and labor and pensions committee. she also previously worked at the center for american progress as the associate director of domestic policy and in the senate as chief counsel and senior policy adviser to the former senator just a number to come -- senator bingham. she holds a university degree from texas school of law and masters degree in public affairs from the lyndon b. johnson school of public affairs. pleasecome up. thank you. >> i'm going to start by introduc

karl marx said it was the industrial proletariat that would be the bearers of revolution, and then it turned out that actually those workers were doing pretty well in europe. they were getting richer and actually becoming middle class, and is why there was never a communist revolution in germany or france or britain. but in russia and vietnam and china, you did have very unequal societies, and the pass santas formed the backbone of the communist movement. >> there are steps that need to be followed in order to arrive at democracy? can you put the cart before the horse? >> well, i guess it depends on who the who is. because there's nobody that has this olympian fewer say, we're going to -- for example, in east asia, in korea and taiwan, you had a lot of economic growth under an authoritarian regime, and then in the 1980s both country democracyized. and people say this is what the europeans did. you have economic growth and then have democracy later. the fact is if you look around the world, most recently in hong kong, and in brazil and turkey, the arar spring and many other countries,

after the damage was done karl rove admitted that this was his greatest mistake, but the damage was done. the centerpiece of the democrats's attack was that he lied about intelligence concerning the status of dom's programs to develop weapons of mass destruction. he lied about the intelligence to get their support for the unnecessary work. bush could not have wide. democrats like john kerry sat on the intelligence committees and had access to every piece of intelligence that bush did. it was the democrats who were lying. they were lying because they couldn't admit that they had turned their backs on a war they supported. so they have betrayed their country to win a primary eve election and attempt to win a national election. the democrat said the war was unnecessary because there were no weapons of mass destruction in iraq but the war was about saddam's determination to acquire these weapons and his violation of 17 u. n. security council resolutions designed to revenge him from doing that and of course there were weapons of mass destruction but the democrats put the whole country in deni

director for the texas monthly between 2000 and 2008 where he wrote on various high profile subjects from karl rove to the bush white house to the infamous houston surgeon, aka dr. evil, and this was included in harper perennial press' best american crime writing anthology in 2006. gives you an idea of what the doctor was up to. sam gwynne comes from a varied background. he first started out as a french teacher, then he was in international banking, and that led to his career in journalism because, he says, he was one of the few people who could write who didn't mind writing about financial issues. laugh -- [laughter] so among other books, several books on financial issues, and his i last book was "empire of the summer moon" which is about quanah parker and the comanche indian nation, the rise and fall art comanche indian nation in the 19th century. this was a new york times bestseller and a finalist for the pulitzer prize which gave him a lot of latitude to choose his topic for tonight. his latest work is "rebel yell: the violence, passion and redemption of stonewall jackson jackson," which w

. >> another author you are working with that our audience would know is karl rove. did he choose you? did you choose him? how did that relationship begin? >> i had to audition for it. i got a call from my publisher. css me to go down to washington. it was the first book that i was asked to add it. i had been a journalist for 30 years, and he had read up on me and what's boreas i covered. we had politics in common. i had actually covered him as an editor for many decades and basically my argument is you should hire me because this is my first job and i can't screw it up and it works. >> is it different working with a personality, and they are not as well-known? >> no. i think every writer has to put themselves on the page so the process is up process by definition that makes writers feel vulnerable. the job of the editor is to ease and chili protect them but also make him feel comfortable with what they are saying. one of the first conversations i had with carl was no, you can start the book on page 30. you have to start the book with a lot of the pain of your childh

they were interviewed by jonathan karl of abc news at the council on foreign relations.

i think this issue of what karl was saying, interesting. this is not a one-off. a lot more of this. a lot more sophisticated. i think about the first bush administration, bush 41. argentina sent a ship, the first gulf war. there are examples or in the past brazil contributed in world war ii to the allied cause. so i think. >> the first colombian death and korea. >> yes. >> the question from the gentleman and the start purple shirt. >> thank you. georgetown. i was wondering all along the lines, can you speculate a little bit of potential changes in u.s. foreign policy for latin america and aside from latinos, all of that? comment on the obama's coalition and the u.n. and other latin america's been there are not believe in the event of a change of control of the senate which is what it will take command there won't be any change in the house, speculate and possible changes. the. >> well, i mean, if we had a republican voice it would mean like marco rodeo will likely be one of the 210 it is to have control over an important subcommittee on foreign operations. he's one of the two folks.

they were interviewed by jonathan karl of abc news at the council on foreign relations. [inaudible conversations] >> are we ready to go? great. welcome to today's launch of the council on foreign relations and the pendant task force report north america time for a new focus to rid the co-chairs hear robert zoellick of course, somebody who i think last time i interviewed you we were both in sudan. so thank you very much. shannon o'neil, director and co-chair, david petraeus i think last summer i into the jew we were in iraq. so it's good to be in a slightly more tame environment. i want to get right to the question of why now, why this? reading newspapers, the attention, the focus of this administration clearly on foreign policy, current prices the in the middle of these, please to the idea of a pivot to asia and effectively what you're talking about in the task force report is a pivot to north america. so why? >> it's time for a new focus. the reason is when you come back to it, our number one and two trading partners are our two neighbors, not other countries or regions

our super pack is a little bit different because we typically don't do the tv ad that say karl rove and crossroads should do. it's to provide the tools and resources activists ask for to get out the vote on the ground. it's a typically that means yard signs from a social, social media, connecting people with each other, door hangers, and also training on how to have an impact because remember they haven't been this easy and in the political pros so they are trying to find how to have a cycle ended and the treatment of the 501 c. for a leading up to 2012 this type of super pack might have an increased importance to the activists because they are afraid. they are trying to comply with the law and i think the system is designed that way. >> guest: the super pack is disclosed and we have close to 80,000 individual donors that have contributed to the cycle. >> host: an average donation box >> guest: i don't know what it is that it's about $25. >> host: is that where you get most of your money from small individual donations? >> guest: certainly we have about 100,000 individual donors and the

i said look into all groups and i did name karl rove. they were the biggest and most active but i the most active but i said in the letter book at all the groups right and left and i think they should have because it was wrong and it gave secrecy to the campaign contributions at the time most have disclosure. >> can you explain how it's different from organized labor? >> you really don't know what the organized labor is? >> you have to disclose who your members are. do you not think that any of the democrats are using it the same way? >> they are now. here's the difference. if i ask corporate supporters to give the names of all their stockholders, ridiculous. i think it's responsible to say what corporation corporation is supporting the organization that is lobbying for the passage of stand your ground in florida and beyond. why is that such an outlandish request? >> senator durbin has gone through so many things it is hard to catch up on those. it's certainly unfair. this is a clear case of intimidation. in the case of outlook for heave

[applause] ♪ >> thank you david limbaugh. as you know we have a lot of speakers and we do our best to keep everybody on time. we do have a timer in front of us and do you know what it means when the light goes off? not very much. [laughter] a speaker earlier as he was walking off said i'm sorry that i went so long. now i thought well what do we do now go back in the time machine to go back? aren't we grateful for the wonderful speeches that we have heard? now we are going to bring up the cleanup hitter the last speech of the afternoon is a man that w

karl marx said that at a certain point the changes become changes in quality. can you explain why you think those things are less important than the kind of visionary things you talked about a moment ago? the >> there are certainly a number of these that have an effect of being an incredible valuable. in my approach people are going to stop companies and if you want to start a successful company you want to do something nobody else in the world is doing it. you are doing what no one else is doing. and i think software has been characterized by these fairly large breakthroughs which is why people of software is made so much money. it's not because of the valuables but the economics of software are very monopoly prone and lucrative. and i think that the history of innovation the inventors and scientists and technologists never made any money. at the right brothers the right brothers didn't make money, tesla made no money and even if we go back to the mansion and the first industrial revolution. from 1780 and 1850. the people that started the textile factories is

she lifted her plan from karl rove virtually word for word and she proceeded to take the tax plan for mitt romney that makes it easier to ship our jobs overseas and she took the rest of her economic plan from the coke brothers who are one of the biggest in the country and want to have a setup where the clean set up where the clean air act is gutted to see you can't troll the power plants. certainly these are extreme advisers and effects of policies and it's not for the oregon values. this campaign is between oregon values on the one hand and i will take the oregon values. >> moderator: in the three weeks oregonians could recreate 91, why and why not? the access to marijuana by the folks in terms of potentially different products, and we need to do everything we can to make sure that as envisioned, the products are available only to adults. i'm also concerned however about a huge that the huge amount of spending our criminal justice system are mobilizing marijuana. i think on balance, those funds could be much better used. as a pediatric neurosurgeon we know that it is linked to the di

karl next in alexandria, virginia, independent caller. >> caller: good morning. my comment is about the corporate taxes, corporate tax rate for american corporations. i think the tax rate they pay should not be cut because being an american corporation you get a lot of benefits that you don't get it is other countries with low tax rates such as sierra leone and where all this craziness is going on. you get the corporation here in america, you have a safe, healthy workforce. you have great security, great infrastructure to move your kids about, a great customer base. so things g look pretty good if you have a corporation here, but, unfortunately, the corporations with a record-breaking profits, i can understand want to grow more but it shouldn't be at the cost of the country that they grow even more than the already growing, astounding growth. so now they should get additional -- we don't know why but it do what the cdc figure to protect them. we want government to be small to get we want the cdc. it seems like the club is for corporate growth and not for the grow

it's not all about how much money karl rove can raise. how many people are willing to educate themselves and show up in elections. i think we are just starting to see what is going to be a very healthy process of getting more people more voice and is not about money. >> host: juan williams writes for the help entitled even a senate victory won't heal gop division decries gop controlled would nod in and of itself guarantee agreement on a common agenda by republicans in the house in the senate. having that much power might instead ignite open warfare inside the gop party to prove their -- gets to keep -- keep in mind the tea party parties are replacing the budget and they would be other ones as well but let's focus on those two because the polling i've seen shows those are priorities. balancing the budget is difficult regardless of who's in charge. nobody in washington d.c. likes to put their programs on the table to be either rethought, eliminated or even trimmed in the rate of growth. we are going to have that fight and we certainly have

their models were wrong as to -- shocked karl rove. you watched his meltdown on election night. couldn't believe that was transpiring. how many people -- how many african-american people they thought would turn out. this is the -- this is part of the challenge is that this work is not -- it should not be episodic work. it should not be every four years, in october we try to turn folks out. what is the civic engagement infrastructure and involvement in leadership development that's going on around the clock? it's almost back to the civic club type of days is that people who were a precinct leader on turning out for obama, can they be supported to be civic leaders and getting people to the city council meeting or to be part of a block club? you start to know who all of your neighbors are. you continue to have that relationship so when election time comes around, you know who the folks are, you're not just turning out to them. i think what i was meaning with turner today talking about how much has preserved of the obama infrastructure. that is one of the biggest challenges that we

republican strategist karl rove told us here wednesday that democratic incumbents have long been preparing for the obama drag on their poll numbers, and with that, the fund-raising advantage that comes with incumbency, most of the senate races would already be over with republicans way out in front. >> if these were open races, these seats would be settled and settled today. but it's hard to beat an incumbent, and every one of these incumbents saw a tough election year coming and muscled up with money and have been on the attack since day one. lou: all here tonight, we are learning that ebola patient zero, thomas eric duncan, not only told hospital screeners he had traveled to west africa recently, but also registered a 103-degree temperature before they released him back into the public. and u.s. airports set to launch new screening procedures in only five airports across the country tomorrow. >> beginning tomorrow, enhanced screening measures will be activated at jfk airport and soon after at dulles, atlanta, newark. the airports receive 94% of travelers from liberia, sierra leone and gu
