because if the workers are the ones who make the decisions, then it's the workers who provide the state with whatever resources it gets. it's those workers who pay the taxes, either as individuals or as the directors of their corporations. the people at the base will finally control the resources of the society. and the state will have to be accountable to them, not just because they're the voters but because they're where the wealth is; they're where the money is; they're where the resources are. and instead of having fancy ideas about how to democratize the old examples of socialism and c communism, this is a practical way to institutionalizize the powewer t the base of t the mass of peopl. closing point--whetherer or not i've persuaded you, let me invite you to take a look at this book. and the point of this book, which is new, is simply to make the best case i can, which, you know, an hour of conversation doesn't allow me to do, but the best case i can fofor what i've e ben talking about. but the real reason to pursue these ideas are two, two real reasons. one--you will not hear a w

employees at baltimore gas and electric said yes to the electrical workers. thousands of teaching and research assistants at columbia and yale voted for a voice on the job with the auto workers and with the nine here respectively and more and more are on the way. and speaking of unite here, trump hotel workers in los angeles not only secured a first contract, but they won a union at trump international hotel just a few blocks from the press club. workers of all skills and background coming together in pursuit of a common goal. as i close i want to mention a recent study from harvard. it showed that only 30% of those born after 1980 believe it's essential to live in a democratic nation. let me repeat that. of all the people born after 1980, only 30% of them believe it's essential to live in a democratic nation. now, that's a startling sta stisic and i believe it's the simple truth that the young people are bearing the brunt of an economic imimbalance, the id that if you work hard and play by the rules has been fading away for this generation. and unfortunately

having a voice on the job is good for workers. why do you think employers spent billions of dollars preventing people from having a voice on the job? because they do not want to have a voice on the job. they like it when you go in and do not get a raise. working at an auto plant in mississippi. they tell you what your wages. they tell you what your benefits are. they tell you everything about what to do, including what to wear and went where it. you get no recourse. why should you not be able to sit down with your coworkers? forget about you. why should you not be able to sit down with your fellow workers and say we produce all the wealth, why can't we get a little bit bigger share of it? we do not want all of it you may just want a fair share. if that figure goes down, it gets worse. let me give you this. 1946 to 1973, productivity in this country doubled. so did wages. tiles,ple in a bottle to their wages were rising faster than the top, so the wage gap was collapsing. back then, the labor movement to 45% of the% workforce. we dr

the tech industry. there has been a wholesale replacement of middle class tech worker by the tech workers. they bring their people in and in some cases you see what happened to disney which is the americans have to sit next to the indian worker and train that worker to do the job as a condition of their separation agreement. this kind of displementf american workers has been happening this this program. among other things t makes it difficult for american tech companies that do need certain very highly skilled people to get the visas. >> that's what i was going to pick up on. ron insan a that was the point of the program in the first place. to help companies like the silicon valley companies that need high tech people and they argue that they need those folks. >> to a certain extent. a lot of this is blown out of proportion. there are 5.7 million open jobs in the united states right now. talking about 85,000 visas that include those graduate student visas as well. 20,000 go to students. from a policy perspective to worry less about this than to make sure the workers who have been displaced

point but we are manufacturing 160% in 1990 with 60 percent of the workers so lot of things are happening in this economy and a trade is one of them. >> let's say we take a stroll in ohio then you find off the laid-off steelworkers we used to work in steel mills and related off but the economists say globalization is great because consumers more choice. we know what they will tell you. >> they will say might be great for them but not fore us in places like youngstown ohio or outside ofrs pittsburgh or detroit pitcher care laypeople who have manufacturing jobs in the past high-paying jobsod with good benefits like union and those are gone. but the jobs in the service sector are very low pay. so they look at fast food tork establishments or part-time in retail. so what has happened the high-paying jobs have left in the low-paying jobs fill in the gap actually multiplied there has been a huge shift with the service jobs but they are continuing to do so.ng in manufacturing jobs are predicted to continue thee decline so what should be done? nobody says the home health aide has to be a bad job

it is great for them and the bot many on line. not great for workers in the united states. might be great for workers in sri lanka or india. i want to ask you, do you think globalization benefits the elite mainly disproportionately, does it hurt workers in the industrial work, and what are the effects for workers in the developing world? >> i think tying the two together, tied to both of the is the results of these studies are very textbook. trade, in theory is supposed to have wide and dispersed gains for all countries, all people. but concentrated losses and that's what we've seen in studies. so indeed there are some negative impacts but on the balance, i would sides with economies that have in multiple studies found that the competitive impact on u.s. economy of imports coming in are companies having to get more efficient has generated income gains for all of us. all of us are $30,000 richer every year because of the shifting and shorting r sorting through the u.s. economy and we have to compensate workers. we are at the verge of an opportunity in the u.s. economy in part

government has said that in 1970 about 26% of the workers were hispanic. by 1990, it had gone up to 45%. that is the nation as a whole in meet and poultry. it isn't really broken down. when i looked at five states, alabama, arkansas, north carolina, georgia and mississippi and those states were interesting because half of poultry production in the nation is conducted there and also those were states that gained enormous increases in hispanic population between 1990-2000. i think north carolina has almost a 400 percent increase in the hispanic population in the state. that is relative, obviously the absolute numbers start much lower. but those five states were not traditional gateways for immigrants. normally it was the east with west coast. so, these were new destinations for immigrants. and so the percentage in those states and in the country, particularly the countries with poultry plants put together the u.s. census data with the u.s. economics census and you can see the rise in the hispanic population in those industries. >> host: were these jobs going

the great depression. and provided jobs for more than 3,000 workers. we've all seen the pictures. s perched dozens and dozens of stories up in the air. workers like these moved almost 60,000 tons of steel, installed 200,000 cubic feet of stone and laid 10 million bricks to build that american icon. and they did the job in a record time. 13 months. hard to believe. think of that for a state building. built in 13 months during the depression. nowadays you couldn't even get a building permit or approval in that amount of time. when the workers had secured the last piece of steel in that a phasing and beautiful structure, they marked the moem ment as we still do today with what is called a topping out ceremony. 1,050 feet above the streets of new york city they hoisted a beautiful and great american flag. [ cheers and applause ] >> they did a good job. they did -- those iron workers. you better believe it. it was an american flag that represented american projects. the big, bold and daring dream of one man and then one city and then finally one people. that banner marked our nation's p

workers brought in to replace the american workers, the disney workers had to train the workers and train their replacements. hey, this isn't fair, disney was using this as a way to get cheaper labor. >> trish, a similar example of the hypocrisy is giant american banks are now using h1-b visa people to replace american workers. the very workers who saved the banks, saved wall street's butt are now being replaced by unskilled or low skilled h1-b visas, it has to stop. trish: john raleigh, i'm all for having the best possible workers. i really do believe that. if we don't have someone that can fit a job description and we have the ability to get them from another country, sure, bring them here, but what disney did or he's accused of other companies of doing here, that's not where we should be heading or where the program was intend to be. how do we fix it? >> i think any program that needs to be re-evaluated if there's abuse, this makes a lot of sense. hopefully the president won't do the few times when i've agreed with him and i agree -- trish: this is one of the few times. >> exactly. but

to feel the same job for some time less pay. this.. american workerse long called for reforms to end these visa abuses and today their calls are being entered for the first time. that includes taking the first steps to set in motion a long overdue reform of h one b visas. the order falls way short of mrjohn‘s campaign pledge to end the controversial programme, technology companies say the visas help them feel vital skill shortages. data from the us citizenship and immigration services reveal that more h one b visa holders come from india than any other country. as for the white house, well, they say eight out of ten workers on the visa are paid less than the median wage for their industry. earlier we spoke to our north american business correspondent about what the order will actually achieve. what donald trump is doing is directing the administration, the people who work for him, to reassess how this programme is working, to enforce it where it is not being enforced. the rules that exist. and to see whether or not it is doing what it was designed to d

the problem is this visa ties the worker to the employer. when you're waiting for a green card, for indians who take 10, 15 years, you're basically locked into the employer and the employer pays substands wages and employer can get away with it. they have people locked in. very simple solution, let's-- very simple solution-- let's decouple the employer from the visa. in other words, let the visa go to the employee so that the employee can shift jobs and go to the highest paid employer. why do we have to have them linked up the way they are? if we did that, suddenly the market forces would prevail, and it would fix the thereby one fell swoop, except we don't talk about it. you know a lot of the attacks on the visa are sostop immigration all together and cut off the life line to silicon valley. we need to have intelligent conversations and ficts real problem there is, which is deathering the employee to the employer. >> brangham: would that be a solution? if the worker came in and the visa belonged to them and they didn't like the pay they wer

we have done so much for the worker and so much for the military, so much for the police officers. r men in blue, and women in blue, who are not treated fairly. we're fighting for workers of all backgrounds and from all walks of live, but to achieve true progress, we must remember our legacy. we're the nation that built the tallest skyscrapers on what was once the hudson river, and put neon lights of las vegas in the desert. if we continue to punish or builders we will not be that nation a nation any longer. i'm callingen everyone to come together in the great rebuilding of our country. that is why in my address to congress, i called on law maema to pass legislation that is a one trillion dollar investment in the infrastructure of our country, and we need it. with your help, we can rebuild our country's bridges, airports, sea ports, and water systems. we will stream line the process to get approvals quickly so long delayed projects can move ahead. and with lower taxes ohe middle class and businesses, we will see a new surge of economic growth and development. all of you have come to

american worker, i want to defend the american worker, i want to defend american jobs. some of the people at the rally today said this is demonstrating trump is for the middle class, the poor and the american worker. where are the democrats going to go when people understand trump is defending the middle class. what a novel idea. we are going to use american taxpayer dollars to fund and used to fund structure products and use american workers. what a novel idea. is this a precursor to immigration reform that will be more merit and skill based? charles: i think that's a foregone conclusion. i worry about tom cotton's bill. just so the audience knows. i think cato likes the current h-1b system the way it is. >> there are a lot of problems with it. if you think it's too small and restrains american firms too much. the president wants to move toward a merit-based immigration syst. hutting the h-1b visas is a heck of a way to do that. you need to increase the number of workers coming in on these types of visas. charles: you are saying bring in more foreign wor

. >> as you pointed out, a lot of the high tech companies rely on the foreign workers to do the jobs because they can't filled skilled american workers and they need to hire them at a reasonable wage. the president's executive order will also order a review of buy america policy in the federal government, federal contracts and trade deals to ensure the highest use of american goods and materials. some of the president's critics are accusing of of hypocrisy given the fact that he employs a lot of immigrant workers at his properties across the easy and a lot of his clothes and his daughter's clothes are made in china. here's the dnc chair tom perez. >> it's an executive order that is to be released tonight directing that people by american and hire american. well, maybe you could start with your own damn businesses. >> clearly he does get support for this policy for american workers. >> shepard: sounds good until you have to pay for it. john, domestically, there's an election in georgia that nobody would spend any money on but not this year. >> sixth congressional district, john ossoff

i tell you, we really had support of the workers. we had tremendous support of the workers.ould you like to make a change? if anybody wants to make a change, you won't be having so many jobs that i can tell you. your jobs will be a whole different story. and the last decade, you lost over 750 construction -- 740,000 construction. real wages in the construction have fallen since the 1970s. we ranked 39th in the world for construction permitting. and approvals can take up to ten years. since taking office, i've signed one action after another to eliminate job killing regulations that stand in a way. i had a chart, is that chart around here someplace? did you have that? i have to show this chart to you because it's amazing actually. [laughter] if you want to build a highway in the united states, these are some of the permits that you need. it's a process that can take away over ten years and it just never happens. at the end, they vote against it and we are getting rid of many of these regulations. you have to go through 17 agencies. many permits at h agency. in february alone,

hire american rules that are designed to protect jobs and wages of workers in theates. we believe jobs must be offered to american workers first. does that make sense? [applause] right now widespread abuse in our immigration system is allowing american workers of all backgrounds to be replaced by workers brought in from other countries to fill the same job for sometimes less pay. this will stop. american workers have long called for reforms to end these visa abuses, and today their calls are being answered for the first time. that includes taking the first steps to set in motion a long overdue reform of h1b visas. right now, h1b visas are awarded in a totally random lottery, and that's wrong. instead, they should be given to the most-skilled and highest-paid applicants and they should never ever be used to replace americans. no one can compete with american workers when they are given a fair and level playing field, which has not happened for decades. we're using every tool at our disposal to restore the american dream. in fact, when it comes to wasteful, destructi
