i itelieve mccormack the spi company is buying a chinese bullion maker as well. do i to them, fine. there's a lot of dayses where their government owns their companies, i'mure we couldn't take stake in the u.s. company. in that case, we should say, you can't buy that kind of company here. i don't see a security threat. it's an important issue about the quality they have there. wehod be able to inspect their factories. ttis is a u.s. plant so we already do this. >> wait, john. this is our bacon! >> yeah, and look, nobody likes to roast a pig than a good old southern boy here. if you seen what goes into hot dogs, i agree they're pretty bad as they are. i agree with toby. we cannot trust them, but i also agree with gary b. and jonas and stuffin, look shgs is a deal it's a matteof standards. as long as the standards are put in place, we get a lot food from china. we're the agricultural ex-porter like saudi arabia is of oil. we have standards in place. if they have to be htened, they should pay for it. >>> nearly 40% of americansay they gained weight on the job, >> p.

mccormack. and gary. and of course, people like my dear friend, john.have had great people teach me the trade. [indiscernible] >> were there times when you were disappointed in the house? what would be the memory that you found that congress did not live up to? -- live up to what it was supposed to be? >> there were good and a bad and sometimes at the same time. i was always very frustrated about when people would not do things. of the mccarthy era. or when the president -- i do not mean this president, he is doing a good job. i was troubled about the fact it is an important responsibility. thes always troubled when government was not working. so i was a great practitioner of oversight, to see that the law is a fully carried out. -- was faithfully carried out. >> who taught john dingell to send a dingell letter? members feared getting a dingell letter. did someone help you draft the first one or develop it into an art? >> i have had great friends. john moss was my greatest friend. he was great on this. i had a wonderful staff. [inaudible] and they had p

there's a storied tradition, the chandlers of "the los angeles times," mccormack of "the tribune." all of the fuss is about, especially if the alternative is to have the newspapers close. there don't seem to be a lot of people lining up wanting to talk about buying newspapers these days. you know, there are two days to get into not-for-profit journalism. one is to fund some kind of research organization, the other is to actually buy a newspaper. this is still a free country. if the koch brothers want to buy the tribune papers, i say have at it, and i'm happy to see them do it. >> reid, you say if it comes down to it, you would rather see rupert murdoch buy the tribune papers than the koch brothers. what goes into your line of thought there? >> i agree with peter, one way to start with a small fortune is start with a big fortune and buy a newspaper. i think in america, freedom of speech means among other things the freedom to have the purchase of the means of free speech. now, when i look at what the kochs have done in america, they have distorted political discourse and they've dum

me just say one small thing, i should, because there is a young woman who works for me named emma mccormack good heart who put together this in a wonderful way and helped me understand it and brought you here to this table which i am in great debt to her for what she's done here because it really is something special and it has real impact and consequence and what you do both to make it happen and what she's done to put this together makes it all appreciate that art is in some significant way a reflection of the permanence of our civilization. so thank you. >> thank you. >> rose: thank you. >> thank you. >> rose: back in a moment. stay with us. >> rose: james turrell's work as an artist explores light, perception, color and space. he's an orchestrator of experience and every artist knows how cheap an effect is and how revolutionary an experience. turrell's first major museum show in new york since 1980 is currently on view at the guggenheim museum. it features a major new project called atom ring. the guggenheim is transferred into an enormous volume filled with shifting artificial and natu

. >> when i first came to congress i went immediately to the speaker of the house, john mccormack and asked to go on the judiciary committee and the reason that he -- as he and i both knew was the civil rights act that was so important. but today, citizens united has been eclipsed by the decision in the united states vs. shelby and holder, this case takes us back to a civil rights act of 1866 which didn't give african- americans the right to vote. then we went into 1869 when the 15th amendment did give african- americans the right to vote. then with the 24th amendment, poll taxes were outlawed in 1964. and then in 1965, president lyndon johnson signed the voting rights act into law, permanently barring barriers to political participation by racial and ethnic minorities, prohibiting any election practices that denied the right to vote, and requiring jurisdictions with a history of discrimination in voting to get federal approval before the changes in election laws can take effect. what the supreme court has done with the ruling that was issued only hours ago is to obliterate that colle

in the "weekly standard," john mccormack wrote an article, five senators who support the immigration bill don't know the answer to key question about it. great article there in the -- "weekly ard" standard." there are plenty of good articles if our friends down the all had bothered to read them. great newsletter on the gang of eight and what they have done to america. what my friend, ted cruz was pointing out, under obamacare there is a penalty that could be $3,000 per employee for those over 50. you deduct 30. it's a formula. but basically most cases it's $2,000 penalty for any employer that has over 50 employees that does not provide the level of health care that is required under obamacare. so ted cruz makes a point i heard nobody else make, an excellent point, that under obamacare if you are an employer and you got 1,000 people working for you, certainly you are under obamacare so you are either oing to pay a tax on -- $2,000 per person on your employees if you don't give them the price level required of health insurance, and so they will end up being under obamacare. well, this
