Train hub. Claire mccaskill is here and the politics of putting politician names on public places. If its wednesday, we have election results. A new generation of republicans is rising in nebraska as outside groups claim victory in the senate race. Ben sachs, a former bush official, who was endorsed by a host of National Conservatives and Tea Party Groups comfortably won his primary with nearly 50 of the vote, beating back an 11th hour surge from banker sid dinsdale. Shane osbourne, supposedly the chief rival, ended up finishing third. 17 outside groups are claiming to put some money into sasses campaign. All of them quickly declared victory because every one of them was responsible, right . Freedom works ignored the fact they had originally endosrsed hs opponent. Ben sasse won this race because he never stopped fighting for conservative principles. If this is the only win for the National Tea Party group, it was a failure. You had paul ryan and the National Review supporting him, claiming his win as a tea Party Victory is like claiming senator marco rubio was also a win just for the party. What kind of senator will he be . Will he be the thorn in the leadership side . Or is it more principal conservative who is play ball once in a while . Not fully my way or the highway type of guys. Sasse told me yesterday he plans to be a team player and despite the bad blood with senator mcconnell he will absolutely support mcconnell as leader if hes the choice of the conference. And last night he said the republican he wants to emulate is jack kemp. Kemp said that we can only fight Big Government with bigger ideas and that we have an obligation to offer alternatives to liberalisms path of decline. We have to offer real plans, renewed opportunity and conservative optimism, and thats what this campaign has been about for the last 11 months and its what it will be about for the next 174 days. Sounds a lot more like paul ryan than anyone else. Hell face democratic opponent dave domina. You got to ask yourself whats going on with the Nebraska Democratic party . This was a competitive state party for decades, exxon, carey, nelson. Amazing whats happened. Barely a competitive state party anymore in nebraska. Pete rikts, son of jjoe rickets. Sometimes in politics you fight hard, you come up short and we fought as hard as we could. I thought that maybe god had served me up enough humble pie for two years but here comes another piece. You need somebody who has pressure perspectives, new ideas, a track record of success in the private sector, someone who has done this in the real world. I am that candidate. Ricketts will face jack hasslebrook in the fall. And lee terry barely survived, win big just 2,600 votes after spending more than 900,000 on the race. He hit voters were flyers saying th his opponent funded illegal Immigration Health care. National raspberry see the open democratic seed as one of their best chances to capitalize. West virginia will have its first woman senator and Natalie Tennant also won her race. In listening to the candidates last night, it wasnt easy to tell them apart. My vision is a West Virginia where we have jobs, we have an economy, we have a voice in the senate that doesnt fight us, that lets us create jobs with our energy industries, that creates a Health Care Bill that helps families and doesnt hurt small businesses. My focus is in moving forward tonight is getting our records out but for me its show how long we can create good paying jobs in West Virginia and that comes from our Energy Sector, from our manufacturing, from our technology. In West Virginia, democratic representative nick rahall won his race. Hell face evan jenkins in the fall and former maryland senator alex mooney aligned himself with Tea Party Groups, he won his primary. Finally, there was an election yesterday to pick the next mayor of new jerseys largest city, newarks most expensive election ever, ras baraka will become the next mayor. He won 54 of the vote. Baraka, who suffered on city council has been a critic. The republicans are in the best shape in decades in virginia to break a 23cycle losing streak and win that contest. Joining me who believes that cycle will continue, Natalie Tennant. Good morning and congratulations on your nomination. Thank you. It is an honor to be nominated by tWest Virginia. As you know weeks had a tragedy in one of our coal mines Late Wednesday night and two of our coal miners were killed in a tragic accident or tragic situation. Just like were hearing around the country and around the world in those coal miners, we know that heart break all too well. Thats why im running, to protect our coal miners. My first act would be to sign on to the safety act to protect our cole miners. Let me ask you this. The National Democrats are in many ways saying theyre not sure you have a chance, that the brand doesnt play the same way that it used to. I guess ill ask you, this why should West Virginia send a democrat to the u. S. Senate rather than a republican . This race is not about democrat republican, this race is about West Virginia. And for that exact same reason that i talk about, that you can have all of this talk, whether its in washington or trying to make this a national race. But the issues are here in West Virginia and the concerns are in West Virginia, that we want to keep our kole miners working but we want to protect them at the same time that, we want to have good paying jobs. And a focus that we really need to have here in West Virginia is and what people are concerned about is the drug abuse problem that we have in West Virginia and across the country. And those are the issues that West Virginians are talking about. And thats why i am running, that this is about the people that, this is about putting west vachlts first and focusing on West Virginia and making sure that we have the voices of West Virginia presented. I understand that on West Virginia but if a majority of the Democratic Party nationally is in one position, for instance, on energy policy, why should a West Virginia voter send a democrat there who may not be able to woo their party . Why shouldnt it make more sense, well, theyll send a republican because the Republican Party seems to be more incentivized to support the coal history than the National Party on the democratic side . Well, what West Virginians do is they look at the cant, too and they look at the person and they look at the record that i have as secretary of state, one who cuts a budget and saves money and gives back 3 million to the taxpayers of West Virginia. And, you are know, when we take a look at this and you take a look about whats important for West Virginia and you talk about those jobs and those good paying jobs, we know that they come from our Energy Sector and its the West Virginia message of, yes, we do have coal. You know that we also have natural gas. But more importantly, we also have the manufacturing knowwho i. We have technology and research and all of that combined is what we push forward is the message that we need from West Virginia. Ill tell you, chuck, that you know that we do technology and research here in West Virginia. Youve heard of 3d printing. I know you have. So with that combination of being able to fuel the manufacturing and use our research and technologies to push all of this in a concerted effort. We played clips from you and your opponent, it doesnt sound like there are many differences between the two of you. So that the question is do you want somebody who is going to conference with the republicans or somebody who is going to conference with the democrats . What is the biggest difference, in your mind, between the two of you . Well, you look and up see the biggest difference is that i represent West Virginia values, i represent the people of West Virginia where for far too long she has represented washington and wall street. What you look at here is you look at someone who is going to vote for a major increase. Parents and people who work a 40hour work week should be able to feed their children and should be able to pay rent because 67 of those on minimum wage are women. You have someone who has represented virginia and someone who has represented washington for far too long. What do you say to the National Democrats who appear to have given up on your race . Well, im not sure that you and i are talking to the same ones because when you look at West Virginia, it is a democrat state. When you look at West Virginia and our 21 Voter Registration advantage and even the numbers that came out if you look specifically at the numbers that came out within my race from election day yesterday. You know weeks have a 21 Voter Registration advantage. We know that a good ground game this is going to be a goo a 55county tour of talk lieutenant tour. People are being able to give their voices. Thats what this race is all about, on the ground. I do have the support. Youve read that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign committee is committed to investing into a field game. With our 21 Voter Registration that, is a game changer and its how were going to win this race and im going to win. Natalie tennant, the new nominee for West Virginia. Please stay on. Still ahead, my takeaway from nebraska. The one issues brass cans are turning to more frequently and whether youll see any Major Movement on it. And and the president and the v. P.

Its no longer just scientist who is say Climate Change is a threat. Former pentagon leaders called it a direct threat to national security. According to the group, it shows the governments report that shows human activity has had a dramatic impact on our climate for years. There are still some, like Florida Governor marco rubio who say that is up for debate and then tried to clarify yesterday. I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it. I have no problem with advances in technology but i by no means are going to go out and tell people if we do these things theyre proposing by changing these laws and the way were conducting our policy, that it will have any impact on our weather because its not going to do that. And three separate times House Republicans have voted down legislation stating that Climate Change is real as far as having a manmade impact. This echos similar debates weve had on the environment in the past. Yet changes were ultimately made. In 1974 a pair of california scientists became the subject of an intense p. R. Campaign after that concluded that chemicals were destroying the ozone layer. The wall street journal published multiple articles on the issue. But the science was vindicated when a massive hole in the ozone layer was discovered over antarctica. When you look at the debate on acid rain, its the same story. High levels of pollutants were mixing with chemicals in our atmosphere. President reagan dismissed a proposal to deal with acid rain after it was criticized as wasteful spending. The president himself dragged his heels for year arguing more research was needed. What weve been trying to do is avoid going down some avenue that would disappoint us and we wouldnt really solve the problem but we would have wasted our resources. Where reagan saw political liability, george h. W. Bush saw an opportunity. The white house called the program remarkably successful. Joining me now, Christie Todd whitman, she was head of the Environmental Protection agency under president george w. Bush. Does it not feel repetitive to you, the debates weve had about the ozone layer and acid rain, one side saying are we sure the science is right and the other side saying the science is right, what are you guys talking about . Is it as familiar to you as it looks to me . It is. And its very disappointing that it continues this way because weve seen the past actions that we took to address the cfcs and acid rain had an impact. The narrowing of the hole in the ozone layer and the resources of the lakes that were dying in maine and new hampshire, weve seen cause and effect. You have 300 scientists on this latest report, an outside of some 30 or 40 who have vetted it from the outside. The American Security project has a whole site up on its web site talking about the threat to national security. Now you have the military stepping forward the way they are. Its time for us to understand that we can take these actions as weve done in the past and not crater the economy. The economy was doing very well in the 70s and 80s, thank you and the 90s. Weve proven we can do it in a way that keeps the economy growing. Where is this sort of fear . And thats what it looks like to me. You probably have individual conversations with various lawmakers who privately say one thing and publicly are fearful of having a backlash if they talk too much about Climate Change. I guess my question is how do you change the politics inside the Republican Party on this issue . Well, its tough and its going to take people to do it. I think the public is getting more engaged in this issue. Theyre seeing the ever more frequent and more severe storms and tornadoes. While no scientist will say any specific tornado or system is due to Climate Change but this is what they expect with Climate Change. Thats always the challenge is the environment. Youre talking about issues that most people feel are way out that, over which they have no control. They dont see the daily impact. One of them, i dont know if you saw the study that came out a while ago that said that last year responding to dealing with responding to Natural Disasters cost the country 100 billion, 300 for every man and woman in the country. Thats starting to be real money because thats taxpayer money, thats our money. We dont like that. Lets start to get smart because were not going to stop Climate Change but we can slow it down and manage our response to it, get out of the more dangerous zones and handle it in a way that keeps the economy growing and is sustainable for the future. I think last year there were 40 separate 1 billion Natural Disaster cleanups around the world. I think thats in the same report youre referring to. Before we go, give me the one piece of moderate, small legislation that could get done by this congress that would prove to some skeptics that man can do to something about this, that could be done short term, as almost like a test to say, see, this can have an impact in a positive way on climate chang . I dont know what one small piece of legislation would to be do that. We have the proof in what we have done in the past. When president george h. W. Bush happy 41 went through in 1990 the bitter battle and it was both sides of the aisle to get a
