basically nothing and a texas senator whose government shutdown cost the public $24 billion for basically nothing. if this is the best the lone star state has to offer as they say in texas, sure seems a lot like all hat, no cattle. that's all for now. i'll see you back here tomorrow at 4:00. "the ed show" is up next. good evening, americans. welcome to "the ed show" live from new york. i'm ready to go. let's get to work. ♪ >> the only thing that can stop this great energy is the government getting in the way. >> keystone would carry 800,000 barrels of dangerous tar oil every day. >> crews are cleaning up 10,000 gallons of crude oil. >> drill here, drill now. >> they have for the first time linked seismic activity to

fracking. >> there is no reason for the federal government to get in the way of fracking. >> people are getting sick already immediately from breathing in the fumes. >> we know we are the saudi arabia of oil. >> fish, oyster, shrimp, and crab catches are all still down. >> the republicans in the house of representatives want all of the above. >> good to have you with us tonight, foelks. thanks for being here. have you gone fishing in oily water? fish don't taste good. we could start with hillary clinton tonight, but i don't think the country's talking about hillary clinton. only the attack dogs who want to see her fail are talking about it. tonight i want to start with a story that i think is vitally important to america. it's disturbing news about, we

got a new free trade agreement being worked out. the deal between the european union and the united states could boost u.s. crude oil and gas production bigtime. we've talked a lot about the tpp on this program. because that, of course, relates directly to american jobs and i thought everybody wanted jobs in america. but there's another deal in the works. let me tell you, this is the mother load to go after climate change. t "the huffington post" has obtained documents from the tra transatlantic trade and investment partnership. what a cool name. this could contain language to expand u.s. fracking, offshore oil drilling, and natural gas exploration. this new trade agreement could potentially wipe out 39 years of restrictions on exporting u.s. oil and gas. this is exactly what ted cruz is

talking about. they want more. they don't have enough. they are climate deniers. they're not going to pay any attention to the white house climate assessment. even though it's the worst report we've ever had and it's the biggest wakeup call the country's ever had when it comes to climate change. you see, 2008 was all about health care. 2012 was all about health care whether we did the right thing or not. '14 and '16 is going to be all about energy and climate change. get ready for it. that's what the country is thinking about and talking about right now. at a time when america is already struggling with an increase in oil spills, increased production makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. now, america averaged 20 oil spills per day in the year 2013. there were over 7,500 spills, blowouts, and leaks. that's a lot. the number represents an 18% increase from the previous year

2012. we're in the age of drill, baby, drill. get those corporations and let them do whatever they want to do. and oh, by the way, let's give them a subsidy along the way. there have been at least five major oil pipeline ruptures since 2010. one pipeline burst just last week in los angeles. yeah. nice neighborhood party that one was. this is not the time to be increasing gas and oil production. and there is no guarantee your gas prices are going to go down if we go forward with this trade agreement that the european union wants us to do. they want the united states to be able to go anywhere and export more oil and natural gas and because of what putin and what he's doing in the ukraine, we have to make sure we get that deal done. no. no. then we've got this false sense of security of, you know, we've

got this british petroleum thing that happened back in 2010 that really not a whole lot of people are talking about. you see, the 2010 deep water horizon disaster was the largest oil spill in the history of the oil industry. remember that? i mean, it was this was just a constant picture on all the networks. i guess we had forgotten that. that was a 210 gallons of oil leaking into the gulf of mexico over 80 days. it's been over four years from this disaster. bp has been running these ads to make you think everything's just fine. >> i'm glad to report our beaches and waters are open for everyone to enjoy. and the economy is showing progress with many areas of the gulf coast having their best tourism seasons in years. i was born here. i'm still here. and so is bp. we're committed to the gulf. for everyone who loves it and everyone who calls it home.

>> oh, remember. they're open for business. well, folks down in los angeles, they would beg to differ. four years later and the gulf of mexico is still suffering. this image was taken in september. four years later and large amounts of oil are still washing up on shore. there hasn't been a lot of coverage of that nationally. you mean they got oil coming up on shore in louisiana? i thought that spill was okay. hbo's vice attended a coastal restoration meeting. it was clear things are far from normal on the mississippi delta. >> we've got 2.9 million more pounds of oily material in the last few months in 2013 than in this same time period in 2012 nap is a 2400% increase in oily material collected between 2012 and 2013. >> 2400% increase in oil over

one year is far from open for business. back in 2010 bp and the coast guard used toxic chemicals to sink the oils so nobody could see it. it was simply pushing down the problem and pushing it down the road so we wouldn't talk about it. hard chunks of oil are now showing up in huge numbers. there are reports of dead dolphins and sea life. okay? you know, there are reports of tumors and oil on shrimp. the seafood business in louisiana is far from where it used to be because of that oil spill. here's what one of the largest shrimp piers in louisiana told hbo's "vice." >> we do about 15% of the shrimp we used to do. >> are you seeing shrimps that are deformed or have tumors? >> when the little boats fish in this area right here, half of what they catch is deformed. >> half, really? >> yes.

>> what kind of deformities? >> tumors on their head, bumps off the side. all in the gills where they breathe at. >> the shrimp they catch around this area, 50% of them will be deformed. we're saying why are so many of them deform snd they showed us this over here. this they just got off the channel. solid oil. then you come here -- >> you see the oil in there? >> that's oil in its gills. >> yeah. if you take this shell off, you could pull the oil out and smell it. >> gosh. pulled some oil out of your shrimp as of late? but remember, they're open for business. bp claims tests show seafood is safe. it's safe to eat in the gulf. a i'm pro-business, but there's a reality to this. the reporting from louisiana shows otherwise. there is no way you can spill 210 million gallons of oil into the gulf of mexico and have it return to normal in four years. it can't happen.

now, in march there was another spill in the gulf. this time 150,000 gallons of oil leaked from a rig off galveston, texas. within days there were reports of wildlife and local economy in distress. >> it's tomorrow that thomas smith is fearful of. after 150,000 gallons of oil spilled into the ocean on saturday. >> only god knows. i've got to get the rest of these tanks clean. >> he'll go on about his schedule as much as he can. but a new fishing ban is already holding them back. >> these little fish will hurt us. >> they can't get fish from the gulf for fear of contamination. >> there'll be no bait. >> inside his shop, he's already feeling the effects. >> we got hurt today. i didn't even come nowhere near to what we would normally take on a sunday. >> we have seen disastrous consequences thanks to off-shore drilling. it's time to cut back maybe just

a little bit, not to increase production. meanwhile michele bachmann, that's right the congresswoman from minnesota who's under investigation for some ethics issue, she thinks otherwise. she was out in the gulf of mexico touring oil rigs this week. she wants to bring awareness to business and push for increased drilling. increased drilling in the gulf. this shows you everything you need to know as a liberal when she gets involved and thinks that oil should be able to do whatever the heck it wants. the new oil and gas free trade deal is bad news for america. now is the time to be cutting back on oil and gas production or at least don't increase it any more just because of a trade agreement that would knock out 39 years of restriction and regulation that we need. look what's happened during regulation. we need to say no to the keystone xl pipeline and yes they are all connected. we need to fix our environment and switch to renewable sources

of energy. sure, wind and solar were not doing enough. president obama has to say no to this trade deal, has to say no to the keystone xl pipeline. because there was this report that was delivered to the white house that really wasn't too good. the climate assessment. it ought to wake all of us up. what we have here now is a possibility of a trade agreement that would increase fracking that would say we got to get more natural gas because of what putin was doing on the other side of the world and there's profit to be made there. off-shore drilling, they can't do enough. we're living in the age of drill, baby, drill. that's all the republicans were talking about the last two election cycles. of course loosening restrictions on u.s. oil and gas exports, that means it's got to come out of our ground to do more damage to our ground, more damage to our environment so they can sell it on the open market and your gas prices are not going to go down. get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think.

tonight's question. do stoiries like this make you question eating seafood? you can text your answer or go to our blog. we'll bring results later on the show. for more i want to bring in "huffington post" reporting zach carter who broke telestory. and also with us tonight, america's lawyer ring of fire radio host, america's attorney. great to have you with us. he's done a lot of work in the gulf and lives in florida. let's start with you first. what could this trade deal mean for the united states oil and gas production? what would it actually mean if this deal were to go through and these restrictions were lifted. what would it mean to the industry? >> well, it depends in part on what other types of provisions are in the deal. the united states has banned exports of crude oil since 1975. it's given the president the power to make certain exceptions to that ban.

the ban is in place for various national security and economic reasons. and this deal would essentially require automatic permitting for all oil and gas production. anything that the european union wants sent. regulatory restrictions in place for some cases environmental reasons. in other cases national security reasons. given that the european union has combined the largest economy in the world. you're talking about a significant demand for energy there. which would mean more fracking and drilling. >> so we haven't heard a whole lot as of late about this agreement that, of course, the european union is pushing, zach. so these restrictions would be loosened. they want the united states to keep digging in, they want to do more tracking all across the country wherever they can find it. they don't care about the environment. they say they need it so the

united states since you've got these finds, serve up more. this is the trade deal they're pushing right now. correct? >> that's right. and your viewers are familiar with the transpacific partnership who know this has the capacity to bind future administrations as well. the u.s. would not be able to regulate this in the future without being subject to certain sanctions. if this language makes it into the deal. i think it's important to note typically other countries don't ask for your exports in a trade deal. i think this is the sort of thing the obama administration has shown some sympathy towards. they've seemed willing to lift some on oil and gas projects. so i think right now there's a reason why environmental groups are upset about this. >> mike, they want it all don't they? that's what it seems like. we haven't heard much about the gulf recently. what's the situation down there? >> well, they're playing to shareholders. they don't want to talk to shareholders about embryos about

being born defective, shrimps without eye, about tar mats being found, about major huge fish being -- dying from cardiac events. so what they've done is they've started -- they spent $50 million at attacking the victims and attacking the lawyers that are handling cases for the viktvikt victims. and they have to do that because they lied to their shareholders. they told their shareholders it would be over and it's far from over. >> the top shrimp buyer in louisiana says is that he's doing 15% of the normal business that he used to do. i mean, clearly anybody in business is going to know things just aren't the way they used to be because of what happened four years ago and bp is running around saying, hey, we're open for business. life is good. don't worry about it. >> life is good for bp because this administration has now allowed them to go back into the

gulf. we have got to talk about this. we have a president that has become the drill, baby, drill president as far as these people in the south are concerned. this is guy that 20 days before the bp catastrophe made a speech telling us that oil rigs don't cause oil spills. it was almost as if it was written by exxon. so what is the perception down in the south? after all this serious face speech that's given by this president and we find out when we look at the facts, he's opened 112 million acres of oil leases to these same companies that are getting away with this type of thing. he's grown domestic oil production higher than it's been in decade and there has been no serious attempt at all, ed, to go after or prosecute the number one world's worst serial repeat environmental polluters such as bp. in fact, he's let them back into the gulf. so he has a problem especially where it comes to ttip issue. my thought on it is he's going

to let it go. he's going to cooperate completely. we have to be serious. we have to be honest about where we are with this administration. progressives have given obama this pass on holding him to his promise about oil and alternative energy the same way we've given him this pass on prosecuting wall street criminals. the only way to change that is first of all for progressives to be honest with themselves and understand our drill, baby, drill president wants to increase drilling, wants to increase fracking, wants to increase more fossil fuels in this country. >> well, life clearly is not the same for these shrimpers down in the gulf and clearly that oil spill had a major impact across the board and yet now they want more. they just never give up. zach carter, great reporting. great to have you both with us tonight. remember to answer tonight's question there at the bottom of the screen. share thoughts on twitter and facebook. we want to know what you think.

>> no one in san juan county expect a confrontation, but ranchers stick together and it could happen. >> yoining us tonight, a reporter for ksltv in utah. good have to have you back with us. you've sent time with ranchers there in san juan county. what are these folks saying about the blm? is it the blm operation or the federal government? and is it growing? >> i think their sentiment is growing. and that is anger and frustration at the way that the blm is operating. i think there's anger among some -- against the people that have direct access to them, they call them range cons which is like a range conservation officer that monitors the land. then an overall sentiment about the blm management. about some of the management decisions that are made and how they come down and how they impact them. it's just like any big management decision that all of

us have to endure that comes from the government. it's frustrating for them and hits at the very heart of what they do and how they live their lives. >> is the blm doing anything different now than what they've done in past years? >> i think the blm is struggling to balance all the uses of the land. i think the major change with the way the blm is operating these days has to do with the fact we have a growing population. more people want to enjoy and explore some of these out of the way environments. when we went down there, i was amazed at how beautiful it was. i had never been down there. more people are discovering it. and so that demands more management, more sharing of the land. and as more people get access to the land, more people discover different things that need to be protected or species that deserve to be protected, there are management decisions that are made that are impacting these people. and i think that that involvement is what's changing. >> so how are these ranchers different from the cliven bundy sorts in nevada? >> well, there's some very

striking similarities. i think that all of them have this connection to the land that's very strong. i think the way that they make their living and their lifestyle is the same. i think where they part ways, though, is that cliven bundy wasn't paying his grazing fees. all these people pay their grazing fees. they make that clear. then of course cliven bundy got distracted by making statements that a lot of people interpreted as racist. that was a distraction as well. but at the core of what they're about with regards to the land, i think they're similar. the way that they're handling that dispute is very, very different. >> okay. and the ranchers you spoke with basically were concerned that the government will take this land and turn it into a conservation area or a national monument with the goal of attracting tourism. is the blm in a sense confiscating land so it will create economic development?

is there any truth behind this at all? >> that's one of the things that puzzled me too. one of the things i heard over and over, they think the blm want this cows and ranchers off the land. i didn't really get that. the blm categorically denies that. now, as far as the conservation district and this possible national monument designation, they're all very, very sensitive and there are still ripples from 1996's surprise designation for president clinton that they're all feeling. in fact, that's exacerbated by a group called friends of cedar mesa that is actively along with other environmental groups pushing for an easement on the land. either a conservation district which would require approval from congress or a national monument designation that could be an executive order that would be easier to give or less

palatable. sentiments are very high, but this is going to happen. >> i take it these ranchers see this as a real intrusion. we've had this for so many years. why does this have to change now? it is emboldening these anti-government folks who are out there in some sorts for all the wrong reasons. >> absolutely. >> great to have you with us tonight. i appreciate your time. still ahead, a new indictment shows united steel workers of america were among of the groups hacked by chinese hackers. we will discuss. and later voter enthusiasm hits a 20-year low ahead of elections. nooe that turner of ohio joins me on that. but next i'm takening your questions. ask ed live next on "the ed show" on msnbc. we're right back.

got so much going on in the back half of the show. our first question comes from steve. reince priebus tweeted that education is the civil rights issue of our time. what is he up to? well, he's hood winking big time. he wants you to think that the republicans are really concerned about education actually, i think somebody was probably playing around with his twitter account. because it doesn't match up. we all know that republicans are on a jihad against public education. they hate the unions. they think that the teachers get paid too much. they want to cut, cut, cut. in fact, the state that reince priebus is from, the governor there took nearly a billion dollars out of the public education budget and of course they're all about charter schools and privatizing and picking and choosing neighborhoods. not everybody's going to have an equal opportunity. so to say that it's the civil rights issue of our time, i

would say reince, you're right about that. and it ain't equal so far and it should be in 2014. stick around, rapid response panel is next. i'm hampton pearson with your cnbc market wrap. the dow gained 20 points, s&p up 7, nasdaq 35. shares of at&t and directv fell 1% today after at&t announced it would buy the tv provider for $48.5 billion. campbells soup shares flipped after their ceo disappointed with sales and lowered the company's revenue forecast. gas will cost less heading into the summer. the average price for a gallon of regular fell 3.5 cents over the past three weeks to $3.69 nationwide. that's it from cnbc, first in business worldwide. cars are driven by people. they're why we innovate.

today we are announcing an indictment against five officers of the chinese people's liberation army for a serious cyber security breaches against six american victim companies. we have brought a charging indictment. it is or hope to have these people stand before an american jury and face justice. >> china has been on a decade. long rampage to take down u.s. companies. for the first time ever the united states justice department has filed criminal charges of cyber espionage against another country. six american companies were targeted. they were named today as victims of cyber attacks including us steel and the united steel workers union. chinese competitors, we don't know how much they got or how much of a boost this has been, but it clearly is enough for the

justice department to take action for the first time. so when you hear that story in business about how your competition is eating your lunch, maybe this is the story america should pay attention to. joining me tonight in our rapid response panel, congressman john garmindi and leo gerard. great to have both of you with us tonight. congressman, what is your reaction to this? first of all, the fact that the chinese did this. we gave them favored trading status back in the late '90s and this is what we're rewarded with? how valid are the charges in your opinion? >> they're absolutely true. we've known for some time that the chrnz are the great hackers of the world. they have been stealing secrets. we see in these dwiemts. also take a look at the new super fighter plane that china put together. looks remarkably the same as the

f-35. how did they get that information? they're good hackers and they've stolen the information. now they're going to be held accountable. i doubt that they're going to appear before the american court, but at least the whole world knows that we're finally getting serious about the espiona espionage. >> how does america combat this? what should be done? what congressional role should be played out here? >> well, first of all, we need to make sure it's a crime. we have to make sure our companies have the right kind of research and knowledge so they can protect themselves, put up those firewalls, and we need to be constantly aware. this is part of the new modern way of espionage. and in this case it's a country, china, using its military to go after domestic american companies stealing their intellectual property, stealing the plans they need. and i'll be interested to see what gerard has to say why would

you hack a union? i have an idea, but it may have to do with our program called make it in america. how do we rebuild the manufacturing sector. >> i know you've been a big part of that in congress. a real effort to bring it to the american people in the theme of make it in america with incentives for business people and everything. let's ask leo gerard. first of all, your reaction to these charges being brought against china and what role would the steel workers play in getting justice here? >> let me just say that we're very, very proud of the fact that the president and the secretary have taken these actions. we've been directly involved because we filed trade cases because we stand up and defend and in this case we're talking about all country goods that they were hacking our stuff to find out what our strategies were about that. we have spoken out against them. we've talked about how they do everything from exports, they

give cheat money. dumping and flooding our market and then on top of that they go in and steal our property. i'm not going to talk about the case because it's an ongoing case and we said we wouldn't talk about it. the government's doing a good job. but the hard reality is they're cheating. and we all know it. they cheat in every aspect they can. it really is about time. i'm really proud that president obama has done this and has authorized it. and the world should know that they're doing this. >> what role would the steel workers and some of these other companies -- u.s. steel was one of the companies that was hacked in there. we look for them for comment today. we may have later on in the week. but you said tubular goods. this is where we were in ohio a couple months ago in talking about how the chinese were attacking american workers. >> we were filing a case when

they were hacking our computers. a number of cases against china. the other was on tires. the other was on rare earth. the other was on renewable energy. the other was on autoparts. we filed cases in all those areas. so they've hacked into our computers. we represent workers at u.s. steel and we're standing up for workers and they're hacking into our computers to try and find out our strategy. and again, it's about time that the world knew. and i'm proud that the president has taken these actions and it's going to be ongoing and we intend to be as cooperative as we can be. >> congressman garamendi, what would this do to the steel market? obviously their intel on how they operate, invest, manufacture has been compromised. what role does government play to protect american businesses? >> well, first filing charges

such as we see here. but then we also have to make sure we have the technological capability to build the firewalls to farm our companies with the kind of knowledge that they need in the internet world to protect themselves to stop the hacking. this is not just a problem that exists with business secrets. but this also is a very serious vulnerability that america has in this electricity industry. hacking into that industry could shut down this entire nation. we know it's a vulnerability. the federal government has been moving and frankly i think congress and the senate have been too slow in forcing our key industries to protect themselves, to put in place the necessary technology in their computer systems to make sure that we have the security we need in our key industries. and obviously we see it here in the business world. we have to protect ourselves and we have to make sure we set forth the policies and the

requirements. >> mr. gerard? >> if i could, when you talked about how it would affect the global steel industry, let's remember that the chinese have got millions of tons of over-capacity. they've deliberately created that over-capacity because their objective is to flood our market, to drive our businesses out of business, and they're doing that in all the sectors of the economy that i just represented. and we need to not only slam the door shut because of their cheating, we need to slam the door shut because our trade language does not work. we have to first lose jobs and market share. our companies have to first lose money before we can succeed in a trade case. the chinese are hacking into our stuff so they can figure that out and flood our market. when we win the case, we've already lost jobs. >> ed, let me give another example of what the government can do. we should have a policy in place that the american tax money is spent on american. made equipment and goods.

whether it's steel or solar equipment, whatever. use our money to rebuild the american economy. that kind of legislation needs to be put in place as part of the buy america and we need to strengthen it. >> congressman john garamendi and leo gerard, we will do more on this story because this cuts to the fabric of our economy and jobs and economic security for the country. and what about the loyalty of buying american? we don't talk enough about that. congress, some have. coming up, dick cheney's selective memory lands him in pretenders tonight. stay with us. you, my friend are a master of diversification. who would have thought three cheese lasagna would go with chocolate cake and ceviche? the same guy who thought that small caps and bond funds would go with a merging markets. it's a masterpiece. thanks. clearly you are type e. you made it phil. welcome home. now what's our strategy with the fondue?

it was the worst pain i ever had. [ girl ] my mom, she makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon. ♪ she can print amazing things, right from her computer. [ whirring ] [ train whistle blows ] she makes trains that are friends with trees. ♪ my mom works at ge. ♪ and in pretenders tonight, the man who's always throwing the verbal barbs. strong man dick cheney. the former v.p. is now blasting president obama's foreign policy. >> there has developed over the years of the obama

administration i think a sense on the part of others we have a weak government. he's demonstrated repeatedly, i think, that he can be pushed around, if you will, by about he's taking advantage of this opportunity when he thinks we have a weak president to try to restore some of the old soviet union. >> yes, that testosterone thing. we don't want anybody getting pushed around, you know? here's a reminder of what strength looks like to the former vice president of the united states dick cheney. >> more than a million u.s. troops deployed to iraq. nearly 4, 500 of them killed, 32,000 wounded, 130,000 iraqi civilians killed. and the cost according to a new study, around $2 trillion. perhaps much more. >> what's a couple of trillion bucks. throwing americans into the frontlines of an oil hungry grudge match isn't my idea of strength. it's stupidity. real strength means protecting

lives, not sending them to die over a power play. if dick cheney thinks flapping his mouth is like flexing his muscles, he can keep on pretending. i don't just make things for a living i take pride in them. so when my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis was also on display, i'd had it. i finally had a serious talk with my dermatologist. this time, he prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body.

in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. make the most of every moment. ask your dermatologist about humira, today. clearer skin is possible.

when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

. >> well k078 back to "the ed show." this is a story for the folks who take a shower after work. six states will hold primary election contests tomorrow, tuesday, to set the balance for the 2016 general election. now, according to a gallup

survey, 53% of the voters report being less enthusiastic to vote in this election than in previous midterm elections. this is a big dip compared to 2010, and 2010 wasn't great either. voter turnout could be on the slide because republicans have done everything in their power to make it harder to vote. take ohio secretary of state, for example. he's trying to cut early voting along with extended voting hours and sunday voting. he spins it this way. >> you could have essentially rounded up, and what you decided to do was decided to round down. >> that's not exactly true. >> why did you do that? >> that's not true, chuck. actually, the legislature shortened the early voting. that's not me, that's the

legislature. i have clashed by the legislature. >> he fails to mention the republican legislature shortened the voting period that he asked them to. he wrote a letter endorsing the proposed cuts to early voting options. if you're going to cut voting for our own constituents, at least have the backbone to take credit for it. what is your reaction to the secretary of state husted shifting the blame there and saying that basically washing his hands of it, saying he didn't want to do all that cut the early voting. >> he never once came before the general assembly to talk about

what the general assembly was doing wrong. they executed his wishes and after they did, he went a step further through directives during this primary, which cut souls to the poles on sunday, only one saturday and no evening weekday hour, ed, which had a detrimental impact on the working class voters of this state. is heless than honest in the interview? >> don't let the truth get in the way of a got a story, especially in an election year. his colleagues doing his bidding. >> what do you make of the surveys saying the voter suppression efforts have really, you know, nicked away at voter enthusiasm. not only in some tates but across the country. what's your response to that? >> we've got to lift up voters.

we've got to eare mind them, when you have republicans changing the rules of engagement every five seconds, it's kind of hard for voters to know when to go vote. we have to continue to lift people and remind them, there are no offyear elections, every elections they're on by electing a school board member or mayor or council person, it's just as important as electing the president of the united states, where workers rights are being hindered and women's rights and voting rights. all of that is happening in state houses across the country. and we need the voters to vote every single election to lift their voices. if they want better education and funding, vote. potholes filled, vote. street lights on, vote. police and fire, teachers, vote, vote, vote, vote. we need people to vote, ed. i'm traveling all over the state, and people are starting to understand that it is by the hands of the gop. and if somebody puts their feet on your neck, you should not forget that. and that is happening in this congress, and that is happening in state houses and governor's

mansions across the this country and in the great state of ohio. so we need voters to rally up and to come out and to let the gop know that enough is enough, that they want elected fishes who were going to stand with working class and middle class men and women of this great nation and this great state. they must vote, ed. they have to vote. >> so do you think that these voter suppression efforts by republicans on the state level have had an impact to the point where it's actually affecting the voter enthusiasm? because it sounds like it's a hassle to vote now in some parts of the country. >> it is, ed. but this is what they want. i still firmly believe that the power is in the hand of the people, despite what the rules of engagement are. folks have to get out the vote. but there's no doubt, only 17% of the voters showed up in ohio during the primaries, ed. it was 22% in 2010. so there's no doubt that every time they change the rules, they are creating an environment of coop fusion. but we have people power at our back, ed, and we've got to

encourage people to get out there and lift their voices. they must vote. >> no one encourages more than you, senator. good to have you with us tonight. i appreciate your time so much. that's "the ed show." "politics nation" with reverend al sharpton starts right now. good evening, rev. >> good evening, ed. the gop smear machine. republicans are pounding their ugly assault on hillary clinton to try and cover up their own bankrupt agenda. today, here's what americans actually care about. a new gallup polls show that jobs and unemployment is the top issue. 19% say it's dissatisfaction with government and congress. 17% say it's the economy in general. so what are the republicans doing to help? nothing.
