2:12 am
area there is steam, hot water recirculating, different types of oilers, radiators, you name it. we are here at local 595 -- 597 local pipe fitting training. they're learning how to install and maintain you on the best way to heat your home. come with me. rick knows a lot about heating systems including radiators. this early type of home heating worked because steam travels through system without the help of pumps. >> we had a boiler that would steam would push out into the system and as a condensed back to water it would give up its heat. >> you guys are not reinstalling steam. >> not unless it was a model. the radiators take up room and they are hot and air gets pushed off and steam takes its place.
2:13 am
>> one of my favorite ways to heat a home is with hot water. you have summit -- some examples. same idea, thehe's a boiler. >> we have a boiler. >> tell me what this is. >> this is a radiator. the most modern choice in baseboard radiation. they have good thermal mass. we can get them in horizontal patterns and vertical. columns, many different shapes and sizes, curves. >> you can put them one next to another depending on the demand. >> we can buy them in various links so you may not have to. >> and metal into. that is what i used to put into houses i remodeled 20 years ago. >> we have a copper tube which conducts heat and will incorporate -- we incorporate these. and this is inside an enclosure. cool air migrates from beneath
2:14 am
exit out -- exit out the top. this is the least expensive way. >> this denser material has more residual properties to hold the heat and dispense the heat. >> one of the things about hydronic heating systems is we count on the cycle to heat an d cool. >> it cools off. this is a consistent system that you like. >> you may never even know it is on. lex i want to show you a few innovations in radiant, in-floor heating. >> this is 2500 square feet of wood floor that has been demoed down to the subfloor.
2:15 am
that could -- gets snapped in and the tubing is snapped in. after that the contractor or homeowner applies either his tile or his wood floor. >> what about below grade applications like if you're going on top of concrete? >> customers think we have to come in with jackhammers and break up the concrete. we have the system three quarters of an inch thick made up of composite plastic and the top is a galvanized steel. it is a floating floor system so it is not affixed to the floor. it works are well for moist conditions -- real well for moist conditions, anywhere there might be water. it is not affected and creates no mold. >> there are systems where you can come from underneath. >> it is a staple up. you remove insulation and drill
2:16 am
are panels and snapping the insulation. >> years ago we put some tubing down the basement and they poured concrete over-the-top. those systems still exist as well, right? >> that was the old way and it is done in unfinished basements. this is a method of fixing the tubing so you walk the tubing under the insulation and that creates your finished product. >> this is the way to go. very efficient and comfortable. there are lots of options. we have information for you on

>> do you have a smelly drain in the house, maybe the kitchen or bathroom sink? you have tried everything. pouring bleach down there and you cannot get rid of the odor. do not worry. i will help you fix it in 15 minutes. the odor is coming from the drain pipe above the p-trap and pouring anything down there will not do a thing unless you scrub the sidewalls of the drain. this is what you need. a little bit of all-purpose cleaner. i like the one that smells like pine. for a quarter of a cup down inside there. you want to take a thin brush
2:21 am
if you have a drain with a disposal you will want to get underneath that gasket but with this one no disposal. you put that brush down inside there and you scrub. each time going down inside one of those gaps to get that dirt and debris that has been built up on the sidewalk -- sidewall. this is where that odor has been coming from. scrub down to the p-trap and come back up and rinse. you can do this in the kitchen sink, on the bathroom sink, and you can illuminate the odor. -- eliminate the odor. you fixed it in 15 minutes. if you do that trick on the drain it will smell as fresh as the outdoors. i'm sure there's a pine tree back there. who does not love the rejuvenating rays of the sun? i know i do.

awatts of incoming radiation. some gets reflected back into space. the fact is the solar energy is out there and we can harness it. the solar panels have come down and pricing and so it is a lot more affordable. it is a way to grab that energy and use it to feed our homes which means we will save money and help us turn the lights on. the late singer-songwriter john sunshine on his shoulders make ing him happy. this sun can make you ecstatic. especially when you see the bill. he is more like a solar energy fanatic. >> they are wonderful. they sit there and make they do not take any maintenance. they do not make any noise.
2:23 am
for many years i helped to design some solar systems for farm buildings. at the time i thought i really want to have solar panels on my house roof someday. in 1981 we took the roof off of this house and put the second story on and we sloped to the roof so it would be approximately right for solar panels. a year ago i said if i am ever get doing it. my rife -- wife said it is your money so do it. his only regrets are waiting so long and a little bit of mother nature. >> there was this tree that was planted and it grew really big. we liked it so we decided we will stick panels on this as opposed to the whole roof. >> it took a lot of -- to make a difference. >> and times our bills are $7.17
2:24 am
sometimes it is as low as $2.17 because we allow the power country -- company to turn off our air conditioner if it happens to be a peak load. if we generate more electricity than we use we send it back to the power company and they do not pay me for it. when we do in the summertime generate more electricity than we need we send it out to the grid and our neighbors use it and we get a credit. >> it was credit that made buying the system affordable. >> we paid $19,000 for the system. that is $3.85 per watt. the power company gave me a check for $4000 so now i am down to 15,000. and then i was able to deduct 5000 for my income tax. now i have $10,000 in their -- there for this system. we will pay for this intended 12 years and from then on the
2:25 am
25 years and now it will be gravy, money in your pocket. >> you do not have to have a perfectly pitched roof to reap the benefits. >> you can do ground systems, there are several different types, dual tracker or axis trackers that will follow the sun throughout the day. >> it is the cells on the panels that click energy but there's a lot going on behind these panels. we did not have to get on the roof. >> all that comes to the junction box and from there it goes into the micro-inverter system and converts into d.c. power and then into ac. with ray's system we went to a
2:26 am
you do not have the shading effect. >> with the affordability and adaptability of solar, the future for it is very bright. >> with all our collections and stuff it can be difficult to quote -- coordinate the different designs into a design scheme. we are learning the benefits of negative spaces. >> when i say negative, they are important. these paintings are primary here and the homeowner is the artist. the paintings are so bold and have so many colors but that was
2:27 am
the fabric in each room married the color of the wall and pulls all the colors together so they work together. going from purple into the other bedroom i wanted them to have equal importance. we had our neutral wall in between that we created something so exciting on the neutral wall with a very exciting painting that is flanked by two wall sconces that look like sculptured glass. this is heart of the entry. what you do not see is the other side of that is a red wall. the transition is seamless because what you are seeing is the neutral spaces. when people come into their own homes it should speak of them and not about me. this weeks of these people so i am so pleased that together we were able to make this just exactly what they want.

3:22 am
>> trade shuffles the deck. who are the winners and losers here? >> i think that manufacturing has been a loser. we should note manufacturing jobs actually peaked in 1979. so that's 15 years before nafta. what's really changed the game? technology. automation. and when we look at those sectors around technology, we saw technology up 30% since 2003. and we should also note one big winner, the world, because we have seen millions of people lifted out of poverty. >> what about the folks back home? how do you help those people who lost their jobs? >> not ripping up trade agreements. trade wars are terrible for economies. but by really spending money on retraining and offering financial assistance in the form of tax credits. that's probably the best solution. >> cbs news business analyst, jill schlessinger. thank you for being with us. >> thank you.

and it saw its share of anti-donald trump protests over the weekend. trump's gop opponents, ted cruz and john kasich are hoping to capitalize on the unrest within the republican party. john dickerson spoke to kasich for "face the nation." >> governor, to get the nomination you would have to win more than 100% of the remaining delegates. how are you going to do it? >> first of all, nobody is going to have the delegates they need going to the convention. everyone will fall short. the convention by the way is an extension of the political process. so, what will happen is people will go there with a certain number of delegates. we'll go into cleveland with momentum. then the delegates are going to consider two things. number one, who can win in the fall? i am the only one that can. that's what the polls indicate. number two, john, a crazy consideration like who could be president of the united states? and i think when they take a look at my record, both in
3:31 am
job growth, the wage growth, you know, reforming the pentagon, and then, they can understand that i have the crossover appeal. i think i will be picked. i don't think anybody is going to get there with the delegates that they need to win. >> why should the person who goes into the convention, don't have the majority, well ahead, why shouldn't they get the nomination? >> you know what? it's like one of my daughters said like i had an 86. that. i should get an a. we've got rules. make a 90 to get an a. we have rules as to how many delegates you should get. if you go in way ahead you are likely to be picked. what's interesting in the ten contested republican conventions, you know that the
3:32 am
three times. and again, john, i have to tell you that, who is going to win in the fall? these folks can't win. they can't win ohio, i can tell you that. addition, look at the resume. ok at the record. o actually can fix this untry? who can get us moving again? th the domestically and with reign policy. consideration now, not much of e, to be honest with you, but when we get to a convention, see, because i was there when ronald reagan actually challenged gerald ford. can you imagine how many people but his message mattered. he ultimately became one of the greatest presidents we have ever had. the convention is a very interesting thing. and delegates take things extremely seriously. >> has anyone -- >> let me also tell you, john, if somebody can get the numbers, they would win. >> has anybody -- >> they're not going to get the numbers. everybody chill out. >>some people suggested you should drop out so somebody can get the numbers. ted cruz is closer to the number an you are. he needs 80% of the vote to t it. that's not going to happen, john. you know it. i know it.
3:33 am
out though? >> nobody is calling me directly and asking me to drop out? and by the way -- why don't they drop out. john, why don't they drop out? i'm the one who can win in the fall. you know another interesting thing. is party has run around for ven years saying, how is it that we elected a one term united states senator to be president who never had the experience. whatever happened to that? remember that? so, here's what i would say. i can win in the fall. they cannot. >> you say you are delivering a positive message. you have stayed away from some of the back and forth. would you not in the pursuit of your nomination not want the help of the stop trump forces? the organized efforts to stop donald trump? >> you know, john, i'm not, i am not in this for some political science game or some calculation. let me just tell you, that people are nervous about their work, their wages, their kids' future. that's what i focus on. responding to that legitimate concern that they have.
3:34 am
washington. we had great success and balanced the budget and grew jobs. and i tell them about the 417,000 people who are now working in ohio who didn't have a job when i became governor i have people that come to my rallies and thank me for the fact that i have focused on the issue of mental illness and drug addiction. i don't have time to sit around thinking about this anti-trump group or that group. let me do my job. communicate to the public. we'll see where it ends up. i think this is a very construct constructive message to the american people. i want you, the american people, you in your living rooms to believe you can change the world. we need you to do it. because the you will revive the spirit of our country. >> but governor, the people trying to stop donald trump believe that many of the things you just described are
3:35 am
and that gets them a little exercised in the same way you are exercised. so i just wonder if you think they're wrong, crazy, missed something? >> no, let them go and do. you know what is interesting? some of the same people wanted me to get out of the race. they wanted to get behind rubio. what happened? rubio is out. i'm in. okay. if i don't win ohio, guess what? trump is the nominee. i win ohio now they want me to get out. what are you, these are the same establishment people that have been fighting me my entire political career. you know what? i will tell you what is in my mind's eye. the people i grew up with in the mckeys rocks, people walked door to door for me. we had people from 22 states -- manning phone banks in ohio. they came from all over the country to help. they're hopeful together we can raise this country. i don't have time to think about all this political calculation in some back room some where. okay, john. i'm any just not doing it. you have known me long enough to know that what you see is what you get.
3:36 am
end of story. >> but you have in fact brought on people to help you with the -- the calculation, people with experience. >> sure. >> so you are in fact thinking abut the calculation. u don't want to talk about it. >> john, look. first of all, the convention is an extension of this process. of course i want stu spencer, of course i want charlie black, of course, i want vin webber, of course i want tom ridge, of course i want the former governor of utah. i want them all to help me. what do we think the convention is some sort of subterfuge it? is nothing more than extension of what we are doing now. if nobody gets the delegates, which they won't, then we will have to work, you know, have to work it to convention. i will spend my time convincing them about my electability and my record. if they buy it, great. if they've don't. i will have done my best. john, i am perfectly comfortable with this. >> let me ask you a presidential question about merrick garland put forward by the president for the supreme court. this could be a decision you have to handle. what's your feeling about the way your republican colleagues
3:37 am
nomination from the president? >> look, i never thought the president should send it. i knew nothing was going to happen. frankly they probably ought to sit down and meet with the guy. my feeling end of the day who ever gets elected president should be in a position to be able to pick, you know, who they want, and, and, the american people will decide by either voting for a republican or court is. that can unite us. rather than a process that right >> the "cbs overnight news" will or conquer the field? defy expectations any day with always infinity. made with flexfoam. absorbs 10x its weight. rewrite the rules. always. janet? cough if you can hear me. don't even think about it. i took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. yeah...but what about mike? it works on his cough too. cough! it works on his cough too.

3:40 am
>> senator, we looked at the math here for the contest going forward. it looks like you would have to win almost 60% of the remaining delegates. so what is your path to the nm nation? that is a big number? >> it is, but the states that are coming up just on tuesday. we have idaho, utah, we have got arizona, we are heading out west. to washington. we have alaska. we have hawaii, and we are heading to new york. we think the father forward is a prtty good path for us. clearly secretary clinton did very, very well. in the deep south. not a strong area for us. are you going to see us doing better and better. and by the way. i think people are going to appreciate when they look at the polls. bernie sanders does better against donald trump than hillary clinton does. in fact in the last poll we were 18 points ahead of donald trump than secretary clinton.
3:41 am
>> secretary clinton won in the illinois and that's not the deep south. >> here's the point as you know -- she did. and we won in michigan. end of the day if you look at michigan, illinois, missouri, we come out almost the same in terms of delegates. >> hillary clinton has 2 million more votes than you have. the theory of your campaign and presidency has been to create a movement, to create momentum, to gather people. she seems to be able to gather more people behind her message than you. isn't that a threat to the, to the theory of the sanders' campaign? >> no, no, no, no. john, not at all. what you are really talking about is she did very well in the deep south. she creamed us in mississippi, alabama, south carolina. now i wish i didn't have to say this, but everything being equal, no democrat right now, i hope that changes, i think it will is going to win those elections, those states in the general election.
3:42 am
i think in a couple weeks you are going to see us win more states. i think as we head to the west coast, which is probably the most progressive part of america, the ideas that we are fighting for, dealing with the grotesque level of income of and wealth inequality, a national health care system through medicare, for all, raising the minimum wage, $15 an hour. i think the people in those states really are not going to be voting for a establishment politics and establishment economics they want real change. i think we are going to do well there. >> one last tactical question, senator. there has been a report that you might go to the convention. if you are behind in delegates try to flip the superdelegates to win through using superdelegates. is that a strategy you are looking at? >> the whole concept of super delegates is problematic. i would say in states where we have won you know by 20, 25 points, you know what i think it might be a good idea for superdelegates to listen to the people in their own state. i just talked to -- a person the other day. who said, you know what. i am going to listen to my
3:43 am
if my state votes for you, bernie, you will have my vote. i think that i would hope that a lot of the superdelegates take that factor into consideration. >> so yes that is a strategy you are pursuing? >> well, to say to a superdelegate. bernie sanders won your state by 20, 30 points, you know you might want to listen to your state. i think that is common sense. i think superdelegates should do that. >> if they didn't come from a state that you won, they shouldn't feel compelled to go for you? >> well that's, legally they have their own decision. to be made. they have their own right to make the decision. but i would argue that many of the superdelegates for them, what is most important as it is for me and secretary clinton by the way, is making sure that no republican occupies the white house. and if people conclude by the end of this campaign, if we have the energy, and an if, if we win a number of states. that's also an if.
3:44 am
it appears that i am the stronger candidate against trump, i think you are going to see some superdelegates saying, you know what i like hillary clinton but i want to win this thing. bernie is our guy. >> it's been months since south carolina's republican senator lindsay graham dropped his bid for thgop nomination. since then he has been an unofficial spokesman for the republican party establishment, opposing both donald trump and ted cruz. well, graham was singing a different tune when he sat down to talk with john dickerson for "face the nation." >> you once said that choosing between trump and cruz is like the difference between being shot or poisoned. so, how is your health? >> you know, maybe they will find an anecdote for poisoning, hard once you are shot to get over it. the bottom line i believe donald trump would be an utter disaster for the republican party, destroy conservatism as we know
3:45 am
take generations to overcome a trump candidacy. ronald reagan had a three-legged stool of conservatism. fiscal, social, strong national security. donald has a four legged stool because he is the donald. t to be bigger. onomic populism, xenophobia, race baiting, and religious bigotry are the stool that he has formed. that's his campaign. that is not conservatism. ted cruz in my view is a real republican who i often disagree with. i've am supporting ted i think he is the best alternative to donald trump. john kasich is the most electable republican. i don't think he has a chance to win. at the convention, because it is an outsider year. john kasich is an insider. most delegates are looking for an outsider. i love john kasich. if he stays in the race or they
3:46 am
between cruz and kasich, we're going to wind up giving the nomination to trump. >> you say an outsider year. your description of trump's campaign. a very popular campaign. people turning up to the rallies. he is getting the votes. 35% to 40%, where he is going be. lot of people believe that legal immigration is a real oblem. aying on their fears. says most of them are rapists d drug dealers, they're not. heres why we are losing the hispanic vote. nobody is going to listen to you about your economic plan or ability to defend the nation if you are going to depart their grandmother. i'm in the party of family values. i like that. there are 11 million illegal immigrants. 60% here a decade. many have american children. american citizen, children and grandchildren. what will happen to republican friend if our position if they take their grandmother, member of the military, who is illegal. how do we get the person to vote for us if we will deport their grandmother when all she has done is violate the immigration laws. this is why we are getting
