We already have a poll up on facebook. Com cspan. Good morning on this tuesday. We want to begin with a quick look at the headlines. Climate. Ahead on the california might be able to cash in on the epa rule. This from the Arizona Republic. The latest epa rule signals a bleaker future for coal. The Chicago Tribune taking the health aspect on the issue. From the Richmond Times dispatch, the impact it would have across the commonwealth of virginia. Fair and blake is joining us on the phone. Things for being with us. Aaron blake. The president is in poland today. We heard a few minutes ago that in a News Conference with the polish president , he defended the announcement over the. Eekend walk us through the weeks event. Caller obama is going to spend a couple of days in poland where he is going to be meeting with the polish president. They will be talking about what is happening in neighboring ukraine. The reason the white house is going to poland is to set up a bit of a contrast between the polish embrace of ukrainestions and tethered to russia. Obama will also meet with the president elect of ukraine while he is in poland. Vice President Biden will be going to kiev to take part in the and operation ceremony. Aboutrip is really all what is happening in ukraine. We also just found out this morning that president obama has announced he is calling for the bigger troop presence in Eastern Europe to show solidarity with their nato allies who are in the region who are being somewhat threatened by moves that rush is making an ukraine right up. President obama will be calling four 1 billion from congress in order to fund those troop movements. Caller there is substance and ceremony taking place this week with the dday ceremonies on friday. Among those in attendance, vladimir putin. According to your paper, no plans for the two to have a bilateral meeting. That is correct. I would not expect them to make this into some sort of political or international thing. This is a very significant sermon because of the dday remembrance. To have any meeting while they are there would be a distraction from that. I dont think the two sides feel the need to meet in person. Antagonist is an relationship between the two an openhere has been line of communication. Its not the situation with iran where there have not been any talks between the disco sides for decades. This is an opportunity for them to sit down with each other. Between the two sides for decades. N of thee hometow how much political backlash is the white house expected to face on the release of Sergeant Bergdahl . There has been a rather large backlash. There are a few reasons for this. One is that republicans in congress arent terribly happy with the deal that was made. We also have democrats in congress who are unhappy with the amount of notice they received. Generally they will receive a heads up about this kind of thing. Said that shen had none. She expressed some concern about that. The other aspect of this that we need to recognize is that, for the military members of this country, which is a very large portion of this country, every member has military members in the district, there is concern about what Sergeant Bergdahl did as far as allegedly walking away from his station. The fact that there is a bunch of military members out there asking why the country had to put themselves on the line in order to get the sergeant back, i think there are a lot of Uneasy Feelings about that from a large portion of this country. Host talking with aaron blake from the Washington Post. You theck in with front page of the Washington Post. The epas proposal romping a backlash. This is going to be a leading the midterm elections, especially in louisiana, kentucky, North Carolina and alaska. Host these are all states with a democratic senator who is running for reelection who is now faced with a decision about whether or not they will support their president and the administration on a significant Climate Change initiative. All of those states require rely heavily on oil production. Running inrs are very conservative states. If members like that can support this step, thats a significant blow to the administration. We are seeing hesitant see from others who are not even up for reelection. Including tim kaine from virginia. Which has produced a lot of the past. A lot of coal in the past. Republicans are very staunchly opposed to this right now. Host thank you for him with us and sharing insights on the president s travels and the epa ruling yesterday. Number of editorials related to this. Obamas war on electricity. The times says that coal is mined mostly in the places that obama derisively described as gers towith bitter clinke guns and religion. 51 billion and 224,000 jobs each year through 2030. Manmade climate is real and needs to be addressed by republicans who look foolish by denying it. To do two things. By setting achievable and forcible stakeholders to cut Carbon Pollution per megawatt hour of electricity generated. Second, laying out a National Framework that give states the flexibility to chart their own customized path on how they meet their goals. 2030 am a when the states meet their final polls, our proposal will result in 30 pollution in comparison to 2005 levels.

From hillsborough, new jersey. Your take on all of this. Caller good morning. I am 20 years old and i just graduated from a community i finished up in environmental studies course. We cover all of these Climate Change issues. ,m truly not concerned because as i try to make the argument in my class that the free market needs to decide as to whether or not these newer, greener technologies there is not a demand for it. It youre not going to bring the cost down until there is a demand. This radical ,ush towards the screen agenda there is not the market for it. I dont see it as an issue. At the National Debt and other issues such as Foreign Policy are more important. Dont forget to vote today. I just voted today in the new jersey primary. Thank you. Its primary day in eight states. A lot of attention on mississippi. More on that later in the program. Also alabama, iowa, south dakota, montana, new mexico and california. On our facebook page, we are asking the same question. Are you concerned about Climate Change . You can weigh in with your comments. This is what it looks like right now. Alexander bolton writes about the policy the politics of all of this. Republicans are raising questions about whether Hillary Clinton knew about the white house plan to release taliban commanders in exchange for the u. S. Prisoner of war. Reporting on the political implications of all this come into getting that in states like kentucky and arkansas, it could be a big issue. Trudy from summerville, south carolina. Good morning. Caller good morning. You are one of my favorites. Im very concerned about Climate Change. Im very concerned about the droughts in california and nevada and texas. Its a terrible thing. Forget about power if you have no water. Fortunately, i live here in south carolina. I saw a bunch of Rush Limbaugh i moved in land. I figured another 100 years, we will have waterfront property. Thank you. Host thanks for the call. Elliott has this point. Democrats should exploit Climate Change scare. Jeff is joining us from savannah, georgia. You concerned about Climate Change . About yes, im concerned Climate Change because we live in savannah and you can see a life. Hange in the river the crabs, the fish, the shrimp. You can see a huge change in the rainwater runoff. Look in your rivers and your marshes and you can see all kinds of debris and changes and Everything Else and you can also play and look at the summers and winters over the last 10 years in savannah and that will tell you something is wrong. Call. Thanks for the as we indicated, the hill newspaper reporting on the release of Sergeant Bert bell and the meeting that took place between the president and Hillary Clinton. Release of Sergeant Bert gdahl. Front page of the Washington Times. The dod knew about the location rescue for risk deserter. They had groundlevel intelligence on where he was being held captive. Down to how many gunmen were guarding him. The special operations commanders shelved rescue missions because they did not want to risk casualties for manic they believed to be a deserter. Commanders on the ground debated whether to pull the trigger on a rescue several times in recent years. The conclusion each time was that the prospect of losing highly trained troops was too high the price to pay for rescuing a soldier who had to walk away from his unit in 2000 and. Inside the Washington Post is another photograph. Detainees who were released as part of that deal. Back to your calls on Climate Change. Is this an issue that is of concern to you . Chuck from raleigh, North Carolina. Concerned about Climate Change. People dont believe in Climate Change. They need to think about the weather patterns. Those previous callers talking they the National Debt are not thinking clearly. Thesee change we have floods. They run up the National Debt. These hurricanes and stuff come through. They mess up our water and air. People with asthma can breathe. They are overheating. I think people are not thinking clearly. They are in it for profit. Host things for the call. One of our reviewers and,ventually, like it or not fossil fuels will have to be given up. Globalship on a warming. Climate change just got real. Its about time. The obama administrations proposed new rule for existing power plants, reducing heat trapping Carbon Emissions by up to 30 by 2030 is ambitious enough to get anyones attention. This is one measure that will not halt or reverse human induced warming of the atmosphere. But the rule is necessary in the context of seeking International Consensus on solutions and significant in its own right. From wyoming weighing in on this. The leading coal producing state along with West Virginia and kentucky. Regulations from washington is not what America Needs right now. States already have the flexibility in how they approach Environmental Stewardship and many of them have come up with creative solutions. Senate and the congressional western caucuses issued a report called washington gets it wrong. States get it right. The report showed how regulations imposed by washington are undermining the work being done at the state level to manage our lands and manage our Natural Resources and to protect our air and water. They are success stories. Sixtthe work being done by stats is more reasonable, more effective and less heavyhanded than the rules ordered by washington. Not need washington to Pay Lip Service to flexibility while mandating huge price increases in energy. America wants washington to stop the overreaching regulations and the mandates and actually allow the states to get it right. Host making his comments yesterday on the senate floor. The house is in recess but the senate is in session. All of joining us from North Carolina. Good morning. Caller please let me finish my comment. I have engaged duke energy in one of the largest conservation movements in eastern United States. Over their management of environment. ,hat people are not seeing here when you talk about the Clean Air Act and the coal and all of these things the Power Companies say its going to be passed on to consumers and cost the consumer and all that. Its never taken into consideration the fact that all usedese Utility Companies the manifest destiny laws to take all these lands. They have been regulated by the government and now they dont have the regulation they used to have. And the cost of any type of Environmental Management or throw onnt they try to the customers. To keep the customers against any environmental improvement. The truth is, they have had a free ride. They make billions off of selling lakefront property projects where the land was taken under threat of eminent domain. None of those profits have gone back to the rate base to help pay for environmental ofrovement, improvement producing electricity. Its the same with all the corporations when it comes to environment. They say they are doing a good job. Even if they been given a free ride, they still say they are not making money. It will cost the public or the consumer double if they do their practices better. Host things very much for the call. Another viewer makes this point. In a northern state, not too long ago, your house was covered by a glacier. Thats Climate Change, too. Nearing a climate legacy. The president s credibility will be enhanced by the fact that he has begun this process on his own in the face of a hostile congress. After a bill proposing a price on carbon that passed the house in 2009 found no takers in the senate. Two Supreme Court rulings said he has the authority under the Clean Air Act to do so. How tough the standards can be and how they were achieved is the issue now. Next is ted from carrollton, texas. You concerned about Climate Change . Caller good morning. Im not concerned about manmade Climate Change. Carbon is not a pollutant that everybody thinks it is. The biggest Greenhouse Gas is water vapor. Its approximately 10,000 parts per million in the atmosphere. Can be as high as 590 parts per million. 10,000 versus 590 is not a problem. The variation in water vapor is enough to swamp the co2 signal. The last thing to think about is, since we started doing pipelines in the United States, the gas that we pull out of pipelines comes out of the ground 59 degrees. It was like that when we ran the first pipeline and its that temperature today. Host thanks for the call from texas. Front page of the boston globe. A scene from that plane cr ash over the weekend. The headline from the boston globe. Data recorders found in rubble. Below that is a look at the history of the gulfstream for has few blemishes on its safety record. Press is it time to fix the car recall system . The hattiesburg american in mississippi. Today is the day Voters Decide primary elections. There is this.

He is still open to negotiating behind the on major issues such as farm programs and defense spending legislation. He still looks at ways to use oldschool politicking to help you stay. He still known as a southern gentleman in the senate where such traits seem almost out of style. Mississippi one of eight states with primaries. Show that polls cochran was up. That is within the margin of error. ,t the campaign this morning their biggest concern is turnout. Supporters are more motivated to vote today than the cochran supporters.
