go down to kentucky and i'm going to campaign for allison lundgren grimes. she's tough, she's feisty, she endorsed the student loan bill, said she wanted to bring down the interest rates for kentuckyians. and, so, my view is, i'm going to get out there and try to make this happen for her. and i hope -- i hope lots of people give her money at allisonforkentucky.com. i hope people will support her, because it's really a way to say allison is a candidate who's there for all of us. for trying to make sure that everybody gets a fighting chance. and you know, it's one way to deal with this. i've got to tell you, given what mitch mcconnell has been doing in the united states senate, the way it's just block, block, block, no, no, no. you get allison lundgren grimes in there, and i feel like she could almost single handedly get rid of some of the gridlock here in washington. >> it's interesting, right? because it would be, i think, unprecedented, for a senate

liberals like allison grimes.rimes was psi lent as obama attacked coal and she endorsed his reelection. >> the president lost in kentucky by 23 points in 2012 with mitt romney winning all but one of the 30 counties in kentucky that produced coal. last month's primary according to the lexington herald, she underperformed. almost immediately after the new regulations were announced, grimes sought to distance herself from the white house and neutralize mcconnell's attack. >> mr. president, kentucky has lost one-third of our coal jobs in just the last three years. now your epa is targeting kentucky goal with pie u in the sky regulations that are impossible to achieve. it's clear you have no idea how this affects kentucky. >> grimes campaign manager also went after mcconnell saying while it is heartening mitch mcconnell turns his eye to coal country every six years to bet reelected, the senator's new bill does nothing. that's a bill to try to block many of the epa's new rules. we have said it before but kentucky is a r

you look at alison grimes and she is in a winnable seat.uncontested primary than mcconnell had in his primary against matt bevan and she is in a winnable race in a not strong year for democrats and she is taking a hostile opposition to the policy. and look at natalie and the way she is handling it in tennessee. and i don't believe that grimes and tenants are going to be the only ones, because you will see contested races in arkansas and virginia and all over the country, and they will use the clips from grimes and tennant and saying that obama is a jobs killer, and listen to his own candidates a and that is going the come to roost in november. >> and that is exactly what we heard from reince priebus attacking the president saying that this regulation is going to kill jobs and force the energy rates to skyrocket and no wonder that president obama is circumventing congress to implement the latest job killing regulation. >> and goldiegoldie, with this badly timed, what is the democr democratic response now? >> well, it is going to be tough, an

eric: that is mitch mcconnell obviously and alison grimes. miss grimes already said, coal, keeps the lights on in kentucky. she is running as far aways as she can from this. >> she will run away from it very much some she already has been. but i, emailing with a mcconnell aide this morning about this topic. what is the impact on that race in kentucky and he was telling me, look, allison lund der again grimes, worst performance were in the coal country states. southeastern part of the state. western part of the state and a democrat can't win kentucky unless she or he breaks even in coal country or wins it. i think they're going to hammer this and tie her to the obama administration. tie her to democratic controlled senate. remember what harry reid said about coal, coal makes us sick. i think you will see that in a lot of republican ads to put democrats on defense including grimes. also in a lot of other red states where coal is not as big of an industry but certainly part of the big government intrusion narrative that republicans want to put d

she made a fund raiser statement for allison grimes. grimes is trying to knock off republican minority leader mitch mcconnell. >> we want to build a great future for had country. a great future for our children and our grandchildren. and we are willing to fight shoulder to shoulder, to make that happen. that's what tough women do.

i think allison grimes needs to attack him on all of these lies.e saying whatever, however, whenever and she needs to attack him on that because not showing anyone who has integrity. >> there is a fascinating thing happening on the right when people asked if they agree with global warming. they say i'm not a scientist. that is their answer is to fudge and not admit that they believe in climate change or don't. this at a time when interestingly enough you have not just scientists agreeing but regular people, too. there is an interesting piece in the washington post. he talks about how the climate issue can help democrats in 2016. the recent new polls that show majority of americans, republicans and democrats believe climate change is real. 73% of young people, 76% of nonwhites believe it. 76% of college educated whites. that sounds like the democratic party. are republicans on safe ground continuing to deny the existence of global warming? >> no, they are not. in the short term it will benefit them. we can see republicans are focused on short term,

you get alison lundergan grimes in there, and i feel like she could almost single handedly get rid of some of the gridlock here in washington. >> it's interesting, right? because it would be, i think, unprecedented, for a senate minority leader to go down. i don't think it's ever happened before, but of course we had an unprecedented thing happen last night, which is the house majority leader go down, which i think is an indicator you never know, right? first of all, what's your reaction to the result you saw last night? >> you know, i think this really is about whose side you stand on, try to get out there and make the argument. we can't have these guys who just keep coming to washington, and all they do is stand up for the millionaires and for the billionaires. you know, mitch mcconnell is so out of touch on this. all he wanted to talk about is not what it means to try to deal with student loan debt, not what it means that you've got student loan debt up at 8 or 10 or 12% and other people can refinance, homeowners can refinance, businesses can refinance, but student borrowers can't

much of this work, if you are familiar with cleaning dirt and grime off of stone, we would typicallyse up to eight applications of a clay material that you put on wet and let it dry, and as it dries, it pulls the contaminants out of the stones. you scrape that often clean it up and do it again, a very labor-intensive process. today with this technology, we are able to save a great deal of money and really do a much better job. you can see just a small laser, this little handheld laser, its ability to heat the deposits that are on the stone and then he expands them and they drop right off the stone. just look at how quickly some of that dirt and grime and contamination is taken off of this beautiful work there on the supreme court. isn't that amazing what technology can do today? so that work is done there on the west front faÇade. we do have work to do on the north and south and east side of the supreme court building. you will see that over the next two or three years and then that work will be behind us for many, many years to come. let me bring you back across 1st street now to th

alison grimes, his opponent included. there's a bunch of states depending on coal. do you think in an election year this is dead on arrival? >> no, because first of all congress cannot unilaterally stop this. they don't have the votes. the e.p.a. rule is mandated by the supreme court. in 2007 the supreme court ruled that it must regulate gas emissions. if president obama did not unveil the proposal, he would be in violation of the law, and congress does not have the votes to override the law. this is an important statute, and what is important to note is a lot of electric you tilties in the front lines of working it implement the law, they have come out and said decent things about the law. they have said that they are willing to work with the states. that no stakeholder recognised the e.p.a., a plan to work together and collaborate on a reasonable solution. then you have the political actors who seek to provide folks and use it as a spring board to attack regguallations broadly. what senator mitch mcconnell said is false. it's not an attack on coal, it's in the mar

democrat alison l lundengran-grimes. >> we have the ability to restore coal to its rightful place asmerican export. >> that's a democrat. what's your message to people in states like kentucky? >> well, she may be happy to know that if you look at this proposal, it actually generates investments in coal. it allows states to choose to make them more efficient and actually projects that coal is going to remain a significant source of energy. even in 2030. so we agree that with an all-of-the box strategy, the only thing they did was to work with states that finds plants that work with them in their own energy supply. that doesn't mean if you're a natural heavy goal or gas. that's the challenge with this rule. >> speaking about all of the above energy strategy, we've been waiting for the president to make a decision about the keystone pipeline for years now. it seems obvious that he's waiting until after the midterms. what is the official explanation for the holdup? >> well, the official explanation is the correct one, which is that there is a question about the exact layout of the pipeli

west, united states, war to us is abnormalty, we have a war, fight a war, finish the war, sign the grime, in middle east, war is don constant, for them peace is a temporary pause to take a breath, regroup, and fight again, how many times have we fought in iraq. and in afghanistan, we went in we got rid of taliban and al qaeda but now they come back. in every country, the extremists look at this as a temporary pause as they regroup, in middle east, we're looking at a fight between shiites and sunnis, from country to country, across borders it could take a generation, it will threat than part of the world ability to give us oil. >> it was always said that like it or not, a horrible dec taeuts odictatorlike stkaeub saddam huy type of leader to control these groups like that. >> what is america's vital region in th -- interest in regn 3 things, we want their oil, we don't want their terrorists, we' israel to survive. united states has the ability to become energy independent, we could potentially be the new middle east, world's energy supplyer if we would only do it, as far as terrorists, if

alison lundergan grimes, who is challenging senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, immediately distancedself from the plan. >> i will fiercely oppose the president's attack on kentucky's coal industry. but a recent "washington post"/a.b.c. news poll found 70% of americans actually support curbing greenhouse gas emissions. joining us for a look at how the decision is resonating politically, are susan page of "usa today" and reid wilson of "the washington post." susan, the coal map, is it near the battleground map we have been watching? >> it mirrors the key states where there are competitive senate races, control of the senate, states like west virginia, arkansas, kentucky, louisiana, colorado, these are states where most of the electricity is generated by coal fired plants. this may not be a big controversy in some states in the country but it's a big controversy in the states on which control of the senate now hinges. >> ifill: a regional or national issue? >> it's a regional issue. a lot of states on the coast specifically the northeast have curbed carbon emissions a lot. the plan by t

and we sat him down on a park bench and me and him, we just did this little thing and the singer grimes afterwards i went, "i should do a whole show with just geo and me, like on a park bench, you know?" [ laughter ] and that's when somebody should have stopped me. [ laughter ] and i knew it couldn't just be me and geo, so we said, the people should come by and we should -- you know, like fred comes by, and we talk to fred. we had chris rock. we had rosie perez. >> seth: you also have a rival on the show. >> i do. >> seth: it is pretty great, because -- just to let people know like sort of how unconventional this is, while you're doing your show on the park bench, you often overhear your brother doing a show on a separate bench. [ laughter ] >> my brother, michael, who's a wonderful actor. very talented guy. see, because the idea came up at the same time. chris rock sort of -- he told us we should do a show on a park bench. and i thought he was talking to me, and michael thought he was talking to him. >> seth: and what's his show called? >> his show is called "bench talk." [ laughter ]

lundgren grimes running and kentucky both came out after the many republicans in denouncing the new standards and referred to it as an assault on the coal industry while republicans rather than take the climate change approach, their criticism is it's a war on the floor and disbelief to hire extra city -- higher electricity rates. how do you respond to those charges and what do you say about other democrats and when they criticize this within hours? >> with respect to the republicans, i think the poor might be surprised to learn of the concern that of the lack of concern for them. if you look at the real economics of this, as the epa analysis shows, because of the efficiency being built into the system here, you will see prices -- you will see bills on average go down by about eight percent over the course of the program. >> all income earners? >> that's the price of electric bills at the household level. i think that there are things that we need to do to ensure that people and the administration has a commitment to making sure that people get affordable, reliable electricity. we think this

for that i'm joined by donald grimes, the labor economist at the university of michigan.thank you for joining us. >> you're welcome. >> what do these numbers say to you about the appearance of work? >> i think the most important thing is this tremendous drop in the average hours, average minutes in a day that people are working 14 minutes is what you said, which is about 7% decline. and what that reflects is the fact that while there are more people working today than i in 2003, it is much smaller, the population has grown much more than the number of people working. so the share of the population that is working is declining sharply since 2003. there are fewer people per population who are working. essentially there is more free time among people who are not working, which is where you get the watching tv increase and sleeping. >> let's take a look at another figure. we're looking at it here. the labor force participation rate. that has declined from about 63%, 67% of the population in the year 2000 to 67% now, which is around 3 three-year low. this has been proportioned

divide different members of the party, particularly when you look at different regions, you have grimes, which is a coal state. you need a crack in the party, an issue that is not just divisive but deeply, deeply important. i think you kind of identify wall street and education. i'm curious why you don't think those will be big enough. >> well, education is something democrats absolutely disagree about. you see this all the time. sort of state local levels and it was a big deal in the new york city mayor's primary and big point of disagreement between the mayor there and governor of that state. it doesn't sort of bubble up to federal politics because the school systems are run by local governments and run by states in the u.s. but it's something that the democrats have very passionate disagreements about, about charter schools and about sort of tests and their role in those things. then wall street is another big one. this is definitely in the journalist journalistic world that the three of us inhabit that people talk about all the time. my doubt is that it really plays over into mass p

originally, it weighed 3.5 tons but now with four decades of bart and muni grime, no one knows how much it really weighs. it is fantastically dirty and the cost of removing such a huge piece is fantastic, too, more than a quarter million dollars. why so expensive? >> well, again, this is a piece of artwork and it can't just be chopped down with a huge pair of scissors. it has to be taken do your carefully. >> reporter: most folks rushing from train to train don't even notice it anymore. but those who did stop to look have an impression. >> i thought it was interesting, i didn't stare at it for more than a couple of seconds. >> freaky. >> i'm not sure what it is. >> reporter: but you're an artist? >> yeah. >> reporter: you don't know what it is? >> no. >> reporter: each piece will be removed at night when the system is down for maintenance. >> once it's all done, we are look at possibly putting in an elevator there. >> reporter: another elevator that doesn't work. >> well, this will be a nice glass elevator that we're looking at the design of. >> reporter: this one's going to work? >> it

virginia and other states where you have democrats either trying to challenge mcconnell as allison grimesst virginia and other states at stake? >> when the president charged epa with taking this action, he was clear he wanted us to reach scientific and public health responsibilities to reduce carbon emissions but very clear he wanted to make sure we did it in the most flexible way possible. if people look at this proposal, we're doing exactly that. epa is establishing state goals but every state has their own opportunity to shape their plan, to achieve their goals in a way that's going to be amenable to their economy and supportive of their energy system moving forward and in a way that every other states and mayors have been doing for years. we are not looking for any outside the box answers here. we're looking to stop wasting so much energy, to stop looking at renewable energy and lower energy systems and build them in and even looking at coal staying -- in consistently staying a significant part of the energy supply system. we're not picking winners and losers and not looking at this r

what do you say to democrats like landrieu in louisiana or allison grimes running in kentucky or virginia, what do you say to the senators from coal states who say you're hurting us? >> i think we need to work through the rule. it's complicated, but we did the best job we could to recognize that coal is in the mix today and it is going to be in the mix almost at the same levels in 2030, but what you're going to see in 2030 is more efficient plants and you will see a lot more fuel diversity with renewables and energy efficiency investments being made. this on the whole is great for the economy and -- >> ifill: but you don't expect democrats from coal states being willing to make that case? >> i think they should look at it. we gave every state the opportunity to say where they want the investments to happen. some will invest in the coal units to get them more efficient and they'll stay a long time. we see the shift in coal from about 37% of electricity being generated by coal today to 30% to 31% in 2030. that is not a large shift, and we'll have facilities who know where they stand in a ca

you don't want to be allison grimes as this is going on.rat running against mitch mcconnell in kentucky. outside some of the states like kentucky outside of rural virginia and place like ohio are you have a lot of coal politics is on their side because of this argument that they're on the side of science. the people who are against this are either skeptical or against this science. it hurts the brand of the republican party. so in some ways it goes both ways. but such a fascinating topic. >> it sure is. thank you very much, mark. we appreciate it. and the climate change debate is a focus of the "news nation." will republicans go through with the plan to block the regulations? what do you think? cast your vote. we are following sat breaking news right now. >>> nbc sports confirm that baseball hall of famer toni passed away but you're progresse and they're them. -yes. -but they're here. . -yes. -are you... -there? -yes. -no. -are you them? i'm me. but the lowest rate is from them. -yes. -so them's best rate is... here. so where are them? -are
