hope, a region that badly needs one. that is all for now. i'll see you back here tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. eastern. the ed show" is up next\s. live from new york, let's get to work. \s . this once was a woman from kentucky. >> she's gotten the momentum noun. mcconnell is very unpopular in kentucky. >> if we turn out our vote, we win. >> i've had about enough of that. >> she wants what's best for kentucky ka. >> does senator mcconnell have a health care plan that he would replace the affordable care act with? >> we need to fight back. >> absolutely no plan. >> it's time, my friends, to rise up and fight back. >>.

good to have you with us tonight, folks. thanks for watching. midterm election, we are just eight days away. the question around the question is what does it take to get americans to pay attention to their government and do something about it? we'll find out. a lot of people will say it will be low turnout, but i think there would be heavy turnout, mash even kentucky. the democrats have refocused their efforts on that state. right now this race between grimes and mcconnell is as tight as it gets. the most recent bluegrass poll has mcconnell regaining a narrow lead. however two major kentucky newspapers over the weekend have endorsed lunder gan grimes. they wrote the problem is mow mcconnell uses his power.

it has money to flood the air waves in the final stretch to victory. the key, of course is mobilization. kentucky democrats need to harness the power of their successful obama carrollout. earlier today i was in lexington, kentucky, with governor steve. >> the numbers are a perfect example of where health care can go in america. >> 521,000 people. >> isn't that amazinamazing? >> that's the world. it just shows you this isn't really a political issue, this is all about people. they had such a craving for affordable health care, that despite all the negativity, they decided to find out for themselves, and they have liked what they found. >> i remember being here months

ago in the call center that was going on, and the calculation was taking place. did you ever think it would reach this number? >> you know, we were surprised as anybody, honestly. we worked hard and kept our fingers crossed add midnight when we opened it up, but the outpouring of desire for affordable health care really surprised us, even us. it's continuing to go. we're getting ready to open up again november 15th. we expect more. we expect to be able to sign up a lot more people for the qualified health plans and more people on expanded medicaid. >> a year ago this time, the conservative media in this country was just pounding away at this entire entity that was going to help americans. it was going to be a failure, the website. here we are days before the election. the people that have the health care now in your state exchange, do you think that's a motivator for them to vote? >> i think it is.

honestly, you know, the other side did such a great job of demonizing the program and the phrase "obamacare" i find that a lot of people who have it and are really thrilled about it, really sort of shy away from publicly saying much about it just because of the all of the stuff that's been thrown out there. they just as well move on with their lives, but i think down deep they appreciate it, and i think many of them will end up in the polls place, and, you know, we've got senator mcconnell running for reelection. he has made no bones about wanting to repeal the whole thing. well, what that means is he wants to take health caraway from 521,000 kentuckians. i think those folks aren't going to like that. >> for republican leader mvp mcconnell, it's been hard to navigate around the success and the facts. >> kentucky can act as a website. it was paid for by $200 some-odd million dollar grant from the federal government. the website can continue, but in

my view, the beinterests of the country would be achieved by pulling out obama care root and branch. >> what did you think of his around when he said the website is fine, but he thinks we should get rid of this whole program. >> well, it's political clap trap in a nutshell. this is our whole exchange, you repeal the affordable care acts, and our exchange goes away, the subsidies go away, the coverage for preexisting conditions go away. you're able to charge more women for women's coverage than men's coverage. all of those things will -- make no mistake, when he sets he whattants to repeal it, he will lip 521,000 kentuckians' health churns out of their hands. that would be a disaster for our

state and the country, because finally the united states and finally kentucky is able to reach out to all our uninsured and maybe sure they're covered. in a generation, ed, kentuckians will be so much healthier and our business community will be so much better off, because they'll have a healthy workforce. they all know a healthy work force is a productive workforce. >> that is that been kind of the template, connect everything with obama snirchlts that's the only issue. obviously he doesn't want to talk about his own record. he really doesn't have one that stands out in any way in over 30 years of the united states senate. he's always run his elections trying to divert attention from him onto the other person. you know, he's not well liked here in kentucky. the polls show that. he's got about as bad a disapproval rating as the

president does here. so his whole theme is to try to make you dislike his opponent more than they dislike him. the one issue has been when you look at allison lundergan grimes, i want you to think of obama. i want you to vote against her, because you don't like the president. i think he's gotten every vote he's ever going to get a that issue and he's still at 44%. she is tied with him. i think we have a heck of a shot of pulling this off and retiring him after 30 years. >> democrats may be running away from president obama in kentucky, butting there sti the influence. it's the clinton factor. both are seen as a positive for grimes. >> two weeks ago it was a different story than what it is right now, a week from the election. what's happened? >> well, she's got the momentum now. part of it, quite honestly is the fact that the clintons came

to town. they came in and campaigned for her. they're coming back this last week of the campaign again, and they have energized the democratic party in kentucky. you know, there are a lot of folks sitting on the sidelines and not really enenthused about these midterm elections. when they came in, and of course they'll loved in kentucky. he carried kentucky both times he ran. if she runs, she's got a heck of a chance of carrying kentucky. that energized the democrats all over the state, and it really sort of pumped everybody up. you know, in this close a race, if we turn out our vote, we win. >> what about that? i keep hearing turnout, everywhere i go in the midwest, that it's turnout. what turnsz them out. what will turn out a kentucky voter? >> i think the clinton will help. it's energizing people a little beyond what you usually see.

i think all these television ads paid for by the koch brothers and everything else, all these billionaires who want to tell kentuckians how to vote and not live here and not worry about it when it's all said an done, i think that's starting to get to people. >> they're tired of it? >> yeah, i think this message of obama, obama and that's all allison grimes is, i think people are tired of that. i think they're starting -- how come he's not talking about anything he's done or wants to do? where does he want to take this country? you can't just be against everything. where do you want to lead us? i think people are starting to get to that point. he doesn't have anything to say. >> mcconnell has been labeled as the obstructionist by two of the major newspapers here in kentucky, which i understand they've never had a very warm relationship with him anyway.

but is he viewed as someone that, gosh, if we lose mitch mcconnell, we will lose all the seniority? how do you think kentuckians balance that he has said no to everything. >> that's what he's played on for all of these year. for a little while people could see results, because they had earmarks. once every six year, he would get some earmarks and drop them in various places, then point to look what i did for this community or that community. now all of that's gone. confide honestly, as he's risen up the ranks and become engaged in all the national issues, he doesn't really pay attention to kentucky. he's here very seldom, and it's always on national issues. people i think finally understand that, that this seniority, what does it matter?

if you've got somebody that all they do is stand in the way of moving the country forward, what does all of that matter? let's threat guess a fresh face who is willing to sit down and work with republicans and democrats, and try to figure out where this country ought to go and move it in someone direction instead of sitting on pause the whole time. >> grimes' campaign, she's not totally embraced obama. she wouldn't say she who she voted for. but in a state where president obama has been ville vilified so much, what you do you think of that? >> she's in a state where the president has about a 30% approval ratings, where her opponents, one issue is she's going to be a supporter of obama. sow sill understand her

reluctance. she's an independent person. she's going to go up there and so what she thinks is right. part of the time she may agree with the democrats, part of the time she may not, because she wants what's best for kentucky. that's the way i've conducted myself here as governor. she'll do the same thing. i think this last week, i think people are finally starting to realize that, and i think we're going to do it. >> coal and kentucky, you can't separate them. this might be where she separates herself from the administration. how is that going to play out? >> she has separated herself from the administration. i have too, because coal is very important to us as an energy source. it's important to this country. i'm not one of these folks who say we don't need to do anything in terms of climate change. of course we do, but we've got to be smart about it. number one we've got to have the energy. you're not going to get this kind of baseload generation from

all your renewables. you have to have fossil fuels, oil, gas and coal. so we've just got to be smarter about developing the kinds of clean coal technology it takes to continue to burn coal, because we're going to, because we've got to have the energy. that's where she is. she opposes the president, i do too, in terms of timetables and things where they demand that today you've got to just have a different set of numbers and clean up everything. well, that's impossible to do and it's not going to be good for the country to do it that way. >> let's go back to health care for a moment. what kind of money will it save? >> i did an economic study with pricewaterhousecoopers before i decided to expand medicate, which was part of the whole setup. they came in and said, governor you really can't afford not to do this over the next eight

years u. you'll infuse about $15 billion into the economy, create about 17 thuz jobs and it will be good for the bottom line. we're going to take another look, because we've had it for about a year. i know we have 3,000 more jobs in the medical field than they had a year ago, and 8,000 more support jobs connected with those medical jobs. >> so it's not been a job killer to kentucky? >> of course not. smart, you know, what they play on is look what's going to happen to our hospitals. the hospitals are the biggest benefactor -- or beneficiary of this whole program. our rural hospitals for the first time are making money. >> so governor, to your knowledge, does senator mcconnell have a health care plan he would replace the affordable care act with? >> that's the other thing. they're against everything, but they have nothing to replace it with. they come up with all this usual

stuff. oh, we're going to pass tort reform, that does not give health insurance to the first person. they're going to take it away from 521,000 kentuckians, but they have absolutely no plan to cover those people. >> he's against raising the minimum wage. is that an issue here in kentucky? >> yes, it is. people very strongly that it's time to do that. that does nothing except infuse more money into our economy. it will help us grow. it would give people more of a living wage and it would put the money into our local communities, our groceries, into our medical facilities, all of the places that people spend money. those folks that get a raise, they're not saves a lot. they're spending that money to support their families. >> governor steve beshear today in kentucky. at the be all about turnout. there's nothing more than the democrats would like to do than get rid of their leader, mr.

mcconnell, the say way the republicans got rid of tom daschle in 2004. share your thoughts with us on facebook and on twitter. we want to know what you think. coming up, unfollow the leader. we'll they will you why rick wyland has words. plus the side effects of the new mandatory quarter teen you said rapid responsible on panel tax ebola. could emit right here. we're right back. so when we asked the guys at composites horizons to map their manufacturing process with sticky notes and string, yeah, they were a little bit skeptical. what they do actually is rocket science. high tech components for aircraft and fighter jets. we're just their bankers, right? but financing from ge capital also comes with expertise from across ge. in this case, our top lean process engineers. so they showed us who does what, when, and where.

then we hit them with the important question: why? why put the tools over there? do you really need those five steps? what if you can do it in two? whoo, that's an interesting question. ideas for improvement started pouring out. with a little help from us, they actually doubled their output speed. a hundred percent bump in efficiency. if you just need a loan, just call a bank. but at ge capital, we're builders. and what we know... can help you grow.

support -- >> i want to get there on my own terms. i i won't be voting for mr. reid as democratic leader. it's time for us to find new leadership. we are joined by rick wylland, a candidate for senate in the state of south dakota, of course -- divorced by the democrats. >> i understand just moments ago, you held a press conference in south dakota, rick, saying you want the national democrats to either get in or get out of south dakota. let's start with -- what about that? >> well, just a couple things. first of all, the national democratic senate campaign committee has not formally endorsed my campaign. secondly, yeah, i just had a press conference and said, you know what? when they made that announcement that they were going to come in to south dakota and spend a

million, we all sort of breathed a sigh of relief. the fact is they've come into my state and put negative ads on mike rounds, i think with the intention to drive voters to larry pressler. the only thing they got out of that was people blaming me for a negative campaign. i told them today, in no uncertain words, ed, i would like you to help, but be positive. talk about my campaign to get big money out of politics. talk about my fight for the middle class. talk about us wanting to invest in student loans and pell grants. don't be talking about, you know, the negatives on mike rounds, hoping to help larry pressler becomes the next republican senator from south dakota. >> obviously it was. eb-5 scandal that drew them into south dakota. it looked like lounds was pretty vulnerable, but all the things you say you do mention you

support, is on the democratic platform. why haven't they supported you, rick? >> i think they from the very beginning were basically pouting that they didn't get their candidate in the race. >> who do they want? >> i wasn't the guy. harry reid said that i wasn't his choice many times. he's done a lot to basically slow down my campaign, dry up my funding, and i tell you what, this is my national party too. we need to take it back, and that's what i'm talking about in this campaign. they should be in there helping me. they should be not in south dakota trying to hurt me. >> what has harry reid done to dry up your funding. what you do you mean by that? everything from saying south dakota is a lost cause, you know. within a week of them cometic in and announcing their big $1 million campaign in south dakota, his staff, whether it was his senate staff or

political committee staff, we saying south dakota is a lost cause. tom daschle and rick and all they do is put negative ads on. in i political strategist know if you put negative on, say, mr. rounds, that will drive up my negatives. it says bought and paid for by the democratic national committee. i think they were disingenuous. i understand that pressler and senator reid are friends. i know larry has been talking about it on the campaign trail, so i don't know what's all tess bottom of this. all i know is they need to get out of south dakota if they're not going to run a positive race. i need help, we need our people to the polls. there's enough to be said about protectings and expanding social security and medicare. they should be helping me with that message. that message wins in south dakota. >> you think there's a win between former senator pressler

and harry reid, who spend on spent many years in the senate, you're an odd man out, whether you're a "d" or not? >> you'll have to ask senator reid. all i know is larry pressler has been talking about having contributed to senator reid. the fact that i juan reid's choice, he told me that from the get-go. he said it publicly. the fact that i believe he has stood in the way of people trying to help me. it is what it is. all i'm saying -- the point i made today was go positive or get out of my state. >> well, they're not going to do that. the culture of that money isn't there. the latest nbc news/marist poll has mike rounds up with a 14-point advantage. what happened here. the eb-58 scandal, there's an fbi investigation, there's all kinds of questions, millions missing. i would have to say you have not bounced it since that news came

out. what are you going to do to close it in eight days? >> here's the deal. mike rounds' own compared released a poll last week that said he was 24 points out. the station i'm talking to you from today, kelo, just released the mason/dixon poll said i'm nine points down and senator pressler is in low double dix, so there's a lot of fluidity in this race. i think that we -- i need to get 4 1/2 points here with some positive help on some positive ads, and a ground game which i've asked senator reid to help me with, to get our vote out for people who care about what i'm running for. he can win this thing. >> rick weiland from south dakota, good to have you with us on "the ed show." thank you so much. mant tore quarantines, we

be good turnouts. i think the -- except, of course, in south dakota, according to rick weiland. why do people keep believing conservative lies? because there's so many out there. wait a minute, they didn't believe all the lies in 2008 or 2012. believe me, there were a lot of them floating around. let's roll it back to one year ago tonight. what were the folks across the street talking about? obamacare, going to be a failure. i just got back from kentucky, over half a million people have got it. you be the judge. there are lies out there, but also the truth. stick around. rap-respon rapid response panel is next. stocks and little change ahead of the fed's two-day meetings which ends on wednesday. the dow is up 12 points, s&p falls three, while the nasdaq

the medical community or the people that actually went to medical school. welcome back to "the ed show." what a difference a day makes. just yesterday governor chris christie adamant, you saw it there nurse kaci hickox would remain in quarantine after returning from a doctors without borders assignment in sierra leone. despite the fact she tested negative, today governor christie was singing a different tune. >> if you are scream and asymptomatic, you can be allowed to travel to your home and be quarantined for 21 days there. >> this afternoon hickox was released, aallowed to return to maine after he received scathing criticism. on friday, andrew cuomo announced they would impose a

21-day quarantine for health care workers returns from west africa. hickox was the first person to be affected. she said her treatment was inhumane and a violation of her human rights. unfortunately the back lash has both governors backing down saying quarantines can be accomplished at home. the reality is this is what happens when he start to politici politicize and make decisions on fear, not science. this is pander to fear, and taking drastic measures which health experts aren't recommending. health experts have repeatedly said mandatory quarantines will only add to panic and keep health care workers from volunteers in west africa, where the help is still so desperately needed to contain it. joining mess tonight on the panel, professor of lsu health science center and also with us today, jean ross, national nurses united. great to have both of you

withes. dr. aayber, where do you stand on the issue of mandatory quarantines? >> first thing, it shouldn't be political, number one, and you shouldn't have someone in a tent, and not have someone in a quarantine status that's in the in their home, but i am in favorite of a structured pathway where health care workers with serve bravely and return safely, and part of that return could be a 21-days quarantine. now, let me be very clear form the federal rules of evidence rule numb her 403 to be exact can set forth a balances test, so you can think of how do we look at this thing in a risk/benefit analysis. let's be clear. this is not fear mongering. i'm aware of how people do that. let's say dr. spencer is on the train, he has a temperature of

100.3, which he gets on the train, which is not a fever according to the world health organization. two hours later he has a 102.5, which is very possible. right as he exits the train, he throws up on person. is it likely that person would get ebola? no, it's not likely, but the reality is do we look at the chance? do we look at the probability? we look at whether that person is worth the -- taking care of the many as opposed to taking care of the few. >> but we don't know the probability. this nurse in question had not tested positive for ebola. >> right. exactly. >> she wasn't showing any symptoms. >> correct? >> so why was there the quarantine. that's why i don't think that nurse should have been quarantined h she tested negative. the reality is that the doctor that came back, dr. spencer actually started having symptoms, and did test positive. so i'm in favor of a group of --

really a strike team, that's very important, not just in the united states, but all over, each part of the united states as well as the world, so you can go and take care of ebola patients where they have. >> jean ross, what do you think of this as a health care provider? >> well, i think it's remarkable that you go immediately to quarantine when we have said from the very beginning, what we need is a national uniform optimal standard of protective equipment. nobody yet has agreed to that. nobody yet has agreed to a mandated safety standard. these are health care workers and nurses who are definitely going to be facing these patients. we have seen that. even after we warned against it. we have seen that. you cannot have a discussion about that and the training that's required for the optimal equipment so you go to something

else like quarantine. that's where you put your efforts? i've seen very little discussion about what it takes to stem the tide in africa. that's another place we need to go, and we need to go there now. >> the cdc announced new guidelines today. there are now four different levels of risk for monitoring travelers from west african countries, each level has its own guidelines. i would like to know, nurse ross, will this help? or will it complicate things for health care workers? >> what will help us is to give us that single standard. what will help us is for people to go online to our petition. we've had tens of thousands of signatures and more i signing daily, and that's at national nurses united.org, to petition the president and congress to give us that mandate. >> so this is a poor man's way of doing it. this is a poor man's way of doing it. this is doing it on the cheap -- i say it's easier.

we're going to have you stable home and be quarantined. we're certainly not in a for-profit system make sure the nurses will get everything they need to provide properly. is that what i'm hearing? >> that's how we feel exactly. >> doctor, what do you think? >> i think what actually needs to happen is if you can get the strike teams to come together by the federal government's mandate, ed, to say look, we know that we need to have a very strategic way of treating the patients in africa, and then treating the physicians when they come back, like kings and queens. how is governor christie going to care about west africa, when he doesn't even care about a resident from maine? here is what he said earlier today. >> governor, when you first decided this -- do you -- do you stand by -- do you intend to speak to her? >> no, i don't. i have no reason to talk to her. my job is not to represent her.

it's to represent the people of new jersey. >> i'm sure he's not representing anyone from west africa. the ignorance surrounding this, ms. ross, is abound, is it not? >> it is. as much as we've tried to education. the right people don't seem to be listening. we've had discussions in california with governor brown. they seem to be working on it. they've designated the university of california hospitals as their ebola centers, but even there the nurses will tell you, they are not prepared. the training hasn't started. we can't even agree on, as i said, the proper equipment. so there will be actions. there will be actions there tomorrow and wednesday. doctor, your response to the governor in new jersey. >> i think that doing it the right way is important, but as the nurse said, no one has come up with a general rule that everyone can still with. until we do that and the ghoismt steps up, we have to take these situation as they come.

each time, we make a mistake, it exposes other people. i don't want to great with governor christie, and a i'm not. i'm saying we need to look into this more deeply until our government decides they want uniform regulations for the treatment of our patients and our most prized possessions, which are health care workers coming back from ebola countries. >> thank you both for joining us. wisconsin residents fight back against governor scott walker and his legacy of income inequality. keep it here. we're right back. synchrony financial partners with over two hundred thousand businesses, from fashion retailers to healthcare providers, from jewelers to sporting good stores, to help their customers get what they want and need. banking. loyalty. analytics.

to map their manufacturings at process with sticky notes and string, yeah, they were a little bit skeptical. what they do actually is rocket science. high tech components for aircraft and fighter jets. we're just their bankers, right? but financing from ge capital also comes with expertise from across ge. in this case, our top lean process engineers. so they showed us who does what, when, and where. then we hit them with the important question: why? why put the tools over there? do you really need those five steps? what if you can do it in two? whoo, that's an interesting question. ideas for improvement started pouring out. with a little help from us, they actually doubled their output speed. a hundred percent bump in efficiency. if you just need a loan, just call a bank. but at ge capital, we're builders. and what we know... can help you grow.

i need you to answer, do you believe a wisconsin worker can live on our minimum wage? do you believe the state has an obligation to make sure workers are paid some sort of minimum wage? and if so, what that should be. i need an answer. >> and my point is, i believe

the state should be focused on helping people create jobs that are much greater than the minimum wage. >> what is your position on the minimum wage? should we have it? >> i'm not going to repeal it, but i don't think it serves a purpose. >> welcome back to "the ed sh " show." scott walker, very clear, doesn't want to stand with wisconsin workers. a labor group is taking the matter into its own hands and suing the governor for fair wages. there's a clause in the law that says that every wage in the state shall not be less than a living wage. insufficient wages are entitled to a state review. wisconsin jobs now filed several formal complaints saying that the $7.25 an hour minimum wage doesn't cut it. wisconsin's labor department dismissed the claims, citing a single study from the wisconsin restaurant association. they say raising the minimum wage would tank the economy. of course the restaurant

association is one of the largest lobbiest determined to freeze the minimum wage. no surprise here, they also have been pumping lots of money into walker's campaign. wisconsin jobs now will sue walker's administration to force a true investigation into wages in the state. joining me tonight is the executive director of that organization, of wisconsin jobs now, jennifer eps addison. >> thanks. >> the legal avenue here, of course the election, we're eight days out. certainly nothing will happen between now and the election, correct? >> well, who knows what's going to happen between now and election. but we hope a court will take this up in a timely manner and will make the only logical determination, which is governor walker did not follow state law. you have hundreds of underpaid workers who are now suing the governor demanding one simple thing, demathat he follow the

process. after the governor received hundreds of complaints from underpaid workers, he didn't even do a cursory investigation of these workers' complaints. he did not contact one single worker who filed a complaint that their living conditions were forcing them to stay in poverty. all he did was a debunked study from the wisconsin restaurants association, a group that's given over $200,000 in campaign contributions to the governor and use that to determine whether or not the state is paying a living page. we believe that the state law dictates he should have to consult with workers and follow the process set forth within the law. >> so what is the living wage? what should the minimum wage in wisconsin be? what's the living wage and how do you come to that determination? >> well, state law is very clear. a living wage is a wage that allows workers to live in reasonable comfort and dignity. they're not talking about having

money to invest in offshore account, but they're talking about having a roof over their head, feed their children, afford medical supplies when needed. if the minimum wage had kept pace with inflation, it would be around $11 an hour. if it kept pace with worker productivity, it would be near $21 an hour. we between somewhere between 11 and $21 an hour is the right place to come down on this. but we're not asking a judge to determine what the wage should be. we are asking a judge to determine that governor walker violated the law and that he has to actually engage in a process that's forced by the law, by establishing a wage commission, or by raising the state's minimum wage, because there's not a single worker within our state or any state, for that matter, that can live off of $7.25 an hour. >> if he were to appoint a wage commission, would that change the dynamic of any of this? >> what you'd have, you'd have a

really investigation as to what the wages in the state should be. a wage commission could be staffed with workers, economists and business leaders. that was our hope all along. this isn't about gotcha politics, it's about what's in the best sbf our state and how do we build an economy that works for everyone. >> what's wrong with the labor department in wisconsin? >> well, i think you hit it right on the head. it's that it's controlled by governor walker who has refused to consider even a one cent increase in the state's minimum wage. as you heard in the clips before, he said he won't repeal it, but he doesn't think it serves a purpose. i think we need to go out there and workers have been going out there to say, we need to elect a governor who will follow the law, not break it, and listen to the working people of the state, over the special interests like the wisconsin restaurant association. >> what decides this race? it's so close. >> our state's largest newspaper said last week this race will be

decided by turn-out. we're incredibly proud of the role that workers have played lifting up the issue of minimum wage. but we think it's about turn-out. so we ask everybody to help us get folks to the poll on tuesday. >> jennifer, thanks for your time. that's "the ed show." "politicsnation" with reverend al sharpton starts right now. good evening, rev. >> good evening, ed. and thanks to you for tuning in. tonight's lead, playing politics with ebola. today, governor chris christie is under fire for the debacle of his decision to quarantine a health care worker back from africa. this afternoon, casey hickox was finally released from that isolation tent in new york, new jersey. but governor chris christie today stood by the decision to quarantine, as he was besieged by reporters.
