my colleague katty kay spoke to her from burlington, vermont. katty: you have now secured the democratic nomination for the governorship of vermont. why did you decide t ms. hallquist: my whole passiona was to solve c change, but november 9, 2016, changed everything. i went into political depression, and i was in denial in 2017 because i thought vermont would be isolated from these incidents at the national level. but i came to realize that our vermont republican governor was using the same divisive tactics as the national party and was focused on tearing down the public education system, much in the way of betsy devos. i decided january 20 of this year that i could not sit back any longer. katty: and yet you voted for the current republican governor. ms. hallquist: yes, i did. i knew phil scott, our governor, for a long time. many of us kn him, and many democrats voted for phil. but this isn't il scott that we knew. katty: are you suggesting that the donald trump presidency is having an impact on people like phil scott and transforming the natu

of course i've talked to thousands of vermonters and i will tell you it only came up with one vermonter and it was just a curious question. so this is -- i think vermont is a beacon of hope for the rest of this country. >> you are running on a very progressive platform. the issues you're running on include internet access for everyone, $15 minimum wage, paid family leave, universal primary health care and a ban on assault weapons as well as overdose prevention sites. as you said, vermont is a progressive state in a lot of ways. are you finding a lot of support for these ideas? >> yes, but i want to point out some of those issues i don't know why we call them progressive. you know, to expect everybody to have health care and have a living wage, that seems like -- >> i'm canadian. i think of these as normal platforms, not progressive. >> there you go. >> i found something interesting despite the fact that you said you were not aiming to make history, you did say that your experience has made you more sensitive to marginalized people and marginalized communities, has really informed the wa

senator from vermont vermont is known for progressive politics could adrian's gender gubernatorial candidate it happened in kansas for example well you know our candidates when l.t. t.q. candidate step up to run they don't step up to run just because they're you they step up from because they care about their communities and they want to help make positive change so christine won this race because she's an authentic candidate who is open about herself she is talking about the issues that matter to people in vermont she also had a well organized campaign she raised the most money of her opponents and she had a really strong ground game that's why she was successful yesterday and why she'll be successful come november when it comes to kansas and you know you've got to start somewhere but you know there's a lot of folks running all across the united states both in conservative parts as well as liberal macas you know let me pick up on that there are a bell two hundred. that is expected to be on ballots in november in federal and state races across the u.s. and i understand that's the most. this

the republican governor of vermont phil scott is running for a second term, and vermonters haven't thrown out an incumbent governor since 1962. i've been speaking to christine from burlington, vermont. you have now secured the democratic nomination for the governorship of vermont. why did you decide to run in this race? my whole passion in life was to solve climate change. november nine 2016 changed everything, i went into political depression and i was in denial in 2017, because i thought vermont would be isolated from some of these incidents on the national level but icame to incidents on the national level but i came to realise our vermont republican governor was using the same divisive tactics as the national party and he was focused on tearing down our public education system much in the way of betsy divorce. i decided january 20 of this year that i could not sit back any longer. yet you voted for the current republican governor. guess i did. i knew phil scott, our governor, for a long time and many of us knew him and many democrats voted for feel. but this is not. of us knew him and

it is no surprise to me living in vermont, i love vermont and this is pretty typical for what vermont is. vermont has been a loving state, a leader in civil rights and we'll continue to show the rest of the country what good democracy looks like. >> you are a former energy company executive, right? tell me why you went into politics? >> my passion was to show how the electric grid can solve climate change. we got to the point where we are 96% carbon free and we are offering incentives to move away heating and cooling transportatio transportations. for five years so that was my passion but when i look at what's happening of the rest of the country and our state, november 9th of 2016 really changed everything. i really probably spent 2017 in a bit of denial but if i look at what's happening in vermont, we are being impacted by what's happening by the rest of the country and our governor is using the same tactics as the national gop. >> you are talking about the incumbent phil scott, right? >> yes, i am. >> why should they vote for you instead of him? >> well, you know, our governor, his

we're the party of rural vermonters and rural america. so if you look at that, that is the majority of voters certainly here in vermont. you know, we really are looking at an economy, a rural economy that we have a plan for bringing jobs to our rural vermonters. >> you did well, christine, i apologize. why you? why do you think that you were able to win the nomination? that translates to the why you as you make it to november? >> well, i think what vermonters have seen, and they know i have a long history of success in terms of turning things around, so vermonters can see that i have a long-range plan for how to get more food on the table. our current governor, you know, has us fighting over the scraps. he keeps talking about no new taxes. and of course nobody wants to raise taxes, but he has no plan on how to change our rural vermont so that people have jobs and have a future. >> you know, you've seen those who are watching the race here leading up to november because you know the nomination for you just happened this past week. the cook

culture pointal -- the state of vermont. moving from places like new york, connecticut, that has changed the political cultural and vermont. that is why, a republican governor could sign can control. and not suffer as they might have 20 years ago and it plays like vermont. when it came to guns it was much more like new hampshire than the loose states or it. i would joke people from texas that vermont had better gun laws in texas, which is true. that always shook up the texans. they think of vermont as hippie freedom lovers. we are out of time for briefing today. i want to thank everyone for attending. enjoy your last week of recess. if you have additional questions or want to get that with jason and will, please will for you talk with us afterwards. + >> what we are covering thursday, at c-span 10 eastern, the -- center hosted a discussion about taiwan's for policy and relations with the southeast asian neighbors. i 1 p.m., memorial service for senator john mccain at north phoenix baptist church. at 8 p.m., president trump a

so great to be in vermont. what is this place? >> this was my dad's studio. >> back in the 1950s, don's dad, donald trachte sr., is a syndicated cartoonist working on the popular strip "henry," which features a bald-headed boy, simply illustrated with clean lines and minimal backgrounds. can you support a wife and four kids drawing "henry"? >> it was a good living. my dad had to come up with all the gags... >> really? >> ...and he would have a sheet of paper next to his drawing board, and usually, he'd come up with about three or four gags at a time. >> were they gags about you kids? >> well, sometimes they were. >> so life for the trachtes is pretty good here in arlington, a picturesque artist's colony with a world-famous resident -- norman rockwell. how did your dad meet norman rockwell? >> when we arrived in arlington, we met a realtor, and if you showed artistic ability, he probably dragged you down to norman rockwell's house. >> did rockwell come to your father's studio to visit? >> he did make a couple visits but very short.

for real, he is on the ballot right now in vermont. and he totally qualifies, by the way, vermont's state law has no age requirement for gubernatorial candidates. this is no stunt either. ethan has an official campaign website and has raised campaign funds and he more than held his own in a recent televised forum on vermont's channel 17. >> the most important thing we can do is built this image of vermont of a state that's open and welcoming. you know, i think it all comes down to making sure that there is opportunity here, that there are jobs here, and that people see life in vermont and they aspire to it. >> we are going to be keeping a close eye on the returns in the vermont governor's race as they come in tonight. and i think it is safe to say we'll also be keeping a close eye on ethan. remarkable kid. that's all for tonight. back tomorrow with more "mtp daily ". >>> we have a lot of news developing. bob mueller closing in on roger stone. donald trump says jeff sessions is not a real attorney general all based on the russia recusal

he signed gun control legislation in vermont, a rural state, huge gun owning state. even bernie sanders, howard dean, democrats in vermont, they have been pretty pro gun. and what happened to scott is the polling out there show scott is now more popular with democrats than with republicans. i think one of the reasons you got this dynamic and he's so favored to win is a lot of big-name democrats in vermont just decided, you know what, i'm not going to run against phil scott this year and threw the nomination wide open. so in some ways it's the answer to the question, what happens when a republican actually bucks the nra and sort of comes around to that view on gun control. in vermont, it made phil scott more popular with the other party than with his own party. >> very interesting. steve kornacki, thank you very much. panel, you are sticking around, i haven't released you yet. you can't leave. >>> ahead, kansas finally has a republican gubernatorial primary winner, but could the drama only be beginning for the gop? for just $59... ancestrydna can open you to a world o

you see between massachusetts and new hampshire, vermont and new hampshire. it's just hard to look at these paired comparisons and say we don't think freedom matters. even if you didn't do the regression analysis that we do. >> interestingly florida is the number two destination state for people moving out of new york after new jersey. we look at the age demographics of people moving out by five-year chimes, and we found the biggest age demographic movement from new york to florida is 20-24 year olds. so it's not retirees. >> since were on capitol hill, another question of federal policy that can affect states and local policies. you have marijuana policy for example. some states have ignored federal policy in cities as well with complete legalization or for medicinal uses. what other types of policies on the federal level can affect the what other types of policies on the federal level can affect the states were maybe the state says we just want to be in compliance with federal law? >> that's a good question. i mean, so in terms of what's happenedhappening i

i think vermonters are going to vote for me for what i'm going to do for vermont. >> let's just call this next story about karma. remember the former trump white house aide and one of the president's most vocal side kicks throwing around the fake news label? well, he got busted using a fake business card. a gorka card suggesting he works for fox news. he doesn't. the piece points out the card features all the usual info and an outdated fox logo. the current one is on the right. no comment from fox. >>> a congressional candidate in oklahoma thinks he's found the effective attack line ahead of his republican runoff in the district one race. harris supports the mueller investigation. hern hopes the position is a turnoff to voters, especially in a state where the president carried every county in 2016. >> hi, i'm kevin hern. a christian businessman and constitutional conservative. i'm a political outsider who supports president trump. my opponent wants the mueller investigation into the president to continue. >>> up next, we'll follow up on that. do americans want robert mueller to take

i heard it said by a politician from vermont when he came to cedar creek to dedicate a vermont marker there, something that i'll never forget and i'll use it today. he said, we do not meet here as the decendants of enemies. we meet here today as the ancestors of friends. those of you who decided to cross this line with us and stand beside the shenandoah valley battlefield foundation and have tough discussions and dig into these tough issues have decided to make the world a better place tomorrow in our own small way. you have stood up for history. you have stood beside historic preservation and you have stood beside your neighbors in trying to foster an open and honest discourse about this very difficult issue. we did not come up with any answers today, but we had a lot of powerful discussions. i heard them in the halls. i heard them during the breaks. i heard them at lunch. i heard them in the questions that we were being asked, and i heard the speakers talk about all the phenomenal interaction they were having with folks that are here today. the shenandoah valley battlefield foundati

vermont has a strong that tradition of centrist republicans. so they can buck trends and that is something not worth dismissing. >> something to keep in mind that will be really important in wisconsin is that we're going into a redistricting. setting the stage for politics for the next ten years. it will be very viciously hard fought in a way they surprise peop people. they have to turn around what they're dealing with in wisconsin. ten years, they have really reshaped that state. >> yeah, but it goes beyond his governing for the next four years. it was not exactly at the ballot box, it happened in kansas where they conceded the race there. they were separated by what, 300 votes? talk to me about what kind of candidate chris kobach has. >> he is the least liked there in kansas. i know a lot of people think kansas is really red, but recently they had a democratic governor who was elected 12 years ago, and chris kobach has disproven himself and to me he has a big shot at losing there. >> he is as strong independent from last time. he may be a bet

on this side of these flower planters is vermont. on that side is quebec. and these are more markings than you'd see on much of the onrthern border. the border patrol says despite their dedicated personnel and thl their technology, people are coming across illegally. last year, border patrol agents along the northern border caught 3,027 people who were in the country illegally. nearly half, 1,489, were from mexico, which is on the southern border. mexican citizens don't need a nasa to enter canada. and one-way flights to toronto and montreal only cost about $300. the border patrol uses high-tech motion detectors, sensors, and cameras to monitor some areas, but they admit there are hundreds of miles of unguarded border, and they simply don't know how many people are coming across illegally. don dahler, cbs news, derby line, vermont. >> glor: up next here tonight, avndreds may have lost their homes because of a bank's mistake. kept spelling my name with an 'i' it's bryan with a 'y.' since birth. well, i happen to know some people. do they listen? what? they'r

the status of vermont agreed on, i think april 26, 1861, to pay every vermont soldier, everyone who enlisted in a vermont regiment, wherever they were from, an additional seven dollars a month on their $11 a month pay which is raised to $13 in august. in september of 1861, the vermont herald reported that aside from all considerations of duty and patriotism, no business pays so well as soldiering nowadays. $20 per month from the date of enlistment and all expenses paid is not to be despised in these hard times. indeed, it wasn't. you couldn't get $20 a month and keep as a farmhand. so there is your evidence that the pool of unemployed people were being targeted for enlistment. now, you need some evidence that people were either enlisting or not enlisting because of the money. out in indiana, a young fellow writing to a woman named miriam green said, on july 11, 1861, as long as i have work to do, i shall not go, but if i run out of work and they want more men, then maybe he would enlist. one of the most interesting collections in this regard that i have come across is that of hugh carlyle. i

zach, perhaps the biggest headline is what happened in vermont. the first transgender woman to win a primary for governor, christine hallquist. that happened yesterday. there were a number of results that were a bit surprising. but i want to ask you about what happened in kansas. even though this wasn't a vote last night, but the results finally became clear last night. kris kobach, who is a trump supporter, of course, was the lead investigator into trump's look into election fraud, which never really revealed anything. but the president came and endorsed kobach at the 11th hour. and now he defeats the incumbent governor there. does this show us as well as anything that the president remains, continues to have a stranglehold, at least with republican voters in republican primaries? >> yeah, absolutely. i don't know that i'd call it a stranglehold. he is the leader of the party, and he commands attention in the party. look at what happened in minnesotapawlenty, who had been a trump critic, was unable to kind of -- you know, even though he had bette

and i think people in vermont understand that. we have a good relationship with the democratic party. i suspect that this coming campaign will be putting more money into the democratic party than anybody else. >> so you will decline the democratic nomination. >> yes. >> and i understand that you have a good relationship with the voters of vermont. but now you have a profile nationally where a lot of democrats saying this is not a good time for bernie sanders to be separate and apart. >> i am not separate and apart. democrats and republicans have to understand this. there are more people now who are independents. i don't want to break the bad news to anybody. two party system is not held in wide esteem. what i am doing is bringing working people and young people who are not crazy about the party. clearly that is a far better alternative than the republican party and we are trying to reform the democratic party. making it a party of working people and young people. pushing an aggressive agenda. health care for all. raising the minim

or paddling across a flower planters is vermont. on that side is quebec. and these are more markings than you see on much of the northern border. the border patrol says despite their dedicated personnel and all their technology people are coming across illegally. last year border patrol agents along the northern border caught 3,027 people who were in the country illegally. nearly half, 1,489, were from mexico, which is on the southern border. mexican citizens don't need a visa to enter canada, and one-way flights to toronto and montreal only cost about $300. the border patrol uses high-tech motion detectors, sens cameras to monitor some areas but they admit there are hundreds of miles of unguarded border and they simply don't know how many people are coming across illegally. don dahler, cbs news, derbyline, vermont. >>> coming up next,ew the inves children found at a new mexico compound. well, here's to first dates! you look amazing. and you look amazingly comfortable. when your v-neck looks more like a u-neck... that's when you know, it's half-washed. add

but it's no surprise living in vermont and this is pretty typical for what vermont is. vermont's been a loving state a lead leader in civil rights and we're going to continue to show the rest of the country what good democracy looks like. >> tell me why you went into politics? >> my passion was to show how the electric grid can solve climate change. we're 96% carbon free. we're offering to move away from fossil fuel and we did that without a -- for five years. so that was my passion. but when i look at what's happened in the rest of the country and unour state, november 9th off 2016 really changed everything and i probably spent 2017 in a bit of a denial. but it i look at what's happening in mont, our governor is actually useening the same as the national gop. >> you're talking about the incumbent? >> yes. >> why should they vote for you because you're going to take on the incumbent? >> you know our governor, his motto is no new taxes and he's attacking our public edge kaegz. i'm not a person that talks about tax because being fiscally responsible is important. but i wa

sfli think vermonters should take me seriously because i have practical progressive ideas and i happen to be 14, not the other way around. >> he's the campaign manager. he's the chief of staff. >> reporter: his campaign team is also young. >> it's definitely interesting and inspiring. >> reporter: if you weren't doing this how would you have spent your summer vacation? >> i would have sat around, done nothing. >> reporter: how much money have you raised? >> let's see. we have a campaign finance report due in a couple of days. so i'll tell you then. >> reporter: spoken like a true politician. voters like that ethan is running -- >> i think it's a great idea. >> reporter: but at the end of the day -- would you vote for him? >> no. >> reporter: what would be your message to other kids out there who might realize there is a way for them to run for office? >> i would tell them to run for office. it's important that we have voices all over our state that are advocating on behalf of people who aren't represented in government. >> reporter: it's hard not to approve that message. >> hi. nice to

it's part of a storm system that extends from georgia to vermont. all of that water caused college lake dam to fill beyond capacity. the high water started to recede overnight, but more rain is forecast for today. laura podesta is here in new york with more on this. good morning, laura. >> good morning, don. that's the concern. if that dam breaks, the city of virginia could be flooded with 17 feet of water in under ten minutes. for residents of lynchburg, virginia, it was a night of high anxiety and rising floodwaters. after days of severe storms, the college lake dam is saud to be in fear of failing. >> the rescue boats are here and have been searching around the apartments as you can see behind me, and they have right now -- our latest count, they've gotten about ten people out. so -- and they're still getting some more folks out. >> authorities are closely monitoring the dam for any kind of structural failure. fears that it would collapse came at the end of a day when as much as 6 inches of rain fell in the area. the dam isn't the only danger. >>

the polls are open in four state, wisconsin, minnesota, wisconsin and vermont. the focus is the midwest, the region as you will remember that carried president trump to the 2016 electoral win. but an election after elections since then, we have seen the republicans' grip on once safe districts slip. joining me now is msnbc's steve kornacki and the washington post political correspondent steve weegle. and break it down for us, steve. >> well, start out in wisconsin and of course, donald trump carried the state in 2016 before there was trump though, there was ben for democrats and the bain of the political existence in wisconsin has been scott walker, the governor that they feel is four times the charm now when it comes to taking out scott walker. tony evers is favored to win the democratic primary for governor and we will see what happens when the polls close, but our own nbc poll here a couple of weeks ago the maris poll gave him a double-digit lead over the incumbent republican governor, and in 2010 they were unable to beat walker and as he claimed the governor
