i think one is a bridge in kentucky. and i have no doubt that there's needs for bridges in kentucky and south carolina. i'd hraof to get my -- i'd love to get my port deepened. but to the people of kentucky and people of south carolina, if we stop, the 1% of our budget is $50 billion. if you cancel it out and left $3 billion for israel -- it seems everybody likes that idea. if you had $3 billion you spent on affecting the world, is that really smart? how much of the debt would be retired if you canceled all foreign aid and brought it back into the united states? not a whole lot. but here's what i believe would happen. if america withdrew our foreign assistance, a lot of bad things would happen to us. having a say, having influence in a world that's increasingly dangerous seems to me to be a good idea. and i am tired of having to resort to the military as the only solution to effect things. the people in egypt, the government particularly wants a relationship with us. they have tow earn it, as senator -- they have to earn

this kentucky woman does not believe that the voters of kentucky will be fooled that easily. >> though kentucky has a history of electing moderate democrats to statewide office, president obama won less than 38% of the vote in that state in 2012. grimes is already distancing herself from the president. >> i will tell you that regardless of the vote that is issued in this race, we cannot change who our president is. but we can change who we have in washington representing kentucky. it's time -- >> nbc news political editor joins us now. >> hey, peter. >> we know mitch mcconnell is a tough adversary. ashley judd didn't even get in the race and they were already going after her. what does alis ochlt n grimes entering the race say. >> president obama won just 30% of the vote in 2012. the other force at play, mitch mcconnell has never won more than 55% of the vote with just one exception in his past runs for kentucky senate. so mcconnell has the advantage, but it's probably going to be a close race. but the biggest development in the race, peter, mcconnell does have a race. had she, grimes,

the gentleman from kentucky. mr. whitfield: i might say with all due respect to my friend from california, he is exactly correct. i was not satisfied with mulet mack, but primarilyly because e.p.a. misled the american people. publicly, they were always talking about the mercury reductions and the benefits would come from mercury reductions and yet at the hearing, e.p.a.'s analysis showed that the benefits were not there for mercury reductions but particular ate matter reductions. i might make one other brief comment. we were talking about the money involved in the department of energy in implementing this bill. and at the end of fiscal year 2012, the department of energy excessr $2.36 billion in carryover balances. i would like to yield to dr. cassidy, the author of this bill, for five minutes. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. cassidy: i thank the chairman for their hard work in preparing this important legislation and bringing to the house floor, which by the way, passed the committee wit

for every dollar, rand paul's kentucky sends to washington, kentucky gets back $1.57. chris christie might be seeking the electoral votes of rand paul's give me, give me, give me state some day. so he will probably use a different line of defense against rand paul's give me, give me, give me nonsense. i was so wrong. not about the dollars and cents. but about chris christie. he went there today. >> senator paul wants to start looking at where he is going to cut spending to afford defense? maybe he should start to cut the pork barrel defense he sends home to kentucky at $1.51 for every dollars and not look at new jersey where we get 61 cents per dollar, maybe he should look at that before he looks at the federal side. because most washington politicians only care about bringing home the bacon. >> and rand paul foolishly talked about bacon. >> this is the king of bacon, we have two military bases in kentucky. and is governor chris christie recommending we shut down the military bases? he wants to be this great champion of the military? what does he want to do, shut down

democrats finally have a senate candidate in kentucky. after months of courting, secretary of state launched her campaign in a hastily organized five-minute press conference in frankfort. >> i agree with thousands of kentuckians that kentucky is tired of 28 years of obstruction. >> next day the mcconnell campaign responded in an interesting way posting a rather unconventional web video targeting grimes. >> i want to thank me -- i want to thank me. >> me. >> i want to thank. >> as i said, interesting. that video actually goes on for over a minute and a half. senate democrats are playing defense in 2014 mainly because they picked up so many seats back in 2008 when president obama won. out of the over one-third of the senate up next year compared to 14 seats for the republicans and most of the republican seats are in deep red gop territory. mcconnell himself is probably the most vulnerable republican up and grimes is the top recruit. in may a poll of kentucky showed mcconnell and grimes tied in a hypothetical matchup at 45% each. so, you kno

in kentucky with mitch mcconnell and the other one is in georgia. red state of georgia where saxby is retiring. attracted no shortage of far right candidates to give democrats a chance of winning. just this week, in fact, good news in georgia. where michelle and her father represented the state for fours terms in the senate, she announced she is going to run for her father's old senate seat in 2014. democrats can win in kentucky or georgia or win in both, that would blow up any chance that republicans have of taking back the chamber in 2014. so, we're going to talk a little bit about the 2014 senate landscape and serious self-imposed obstacles and what consequences next year's outcome will have for the rest of the obama presidency. we'll talk about that after this. ♪ playtime is so much more with a superhero by your side. because even superheroes need superheroes. that's why purina dog chow is made with high quality ingredients, including 23 vitamins and minerals. to help keep him strong. dog chow strong. an arm wrestling match that mr. clean real

we have kentucky senator rand paul. do you think it's gone too far? >> i think it's time to dial it down. we have enough democrats to attack maybe republicans can quit attacking republicans. i've said my piece on this. i don't like republicans attacking republicans because it doesn't help to grow the party bigger in the northeast, the republican party is shrinking, it's basically on life support so dividing up the party, which is already shrinking in the northeast isn't good. i've tried to spend a lot of time talking about some libertarian ideas and i don't like that being criticized that that can't be part of the party because i think that's actually part of the way we grow the party and i will continue to talk about privacy, about foreign aid, sending money to countries that are burning our flag, and that may not be popular with all republicans in washington, but it's very popular with republicans out across the country. >> but are you worried that it could be backfiring, senator, and by that i mean there's a move afoot to sort of disinvite you from
