what bain does is rain tens of millions of dollars, invest into businesses, give some business advice, and sell their shares to the public at a profit. in other words, this is a company that became one of the top private equity firms today. and in the process, they helped revolutionize american capitalism, which has been a boon for private equity and some of their shareholders and often not so great for everyone else. >> that bain capital acquired a company, in essence looted it, and then laid off 1,700 people. now, if that's accurate and if there are three or four or five examples like that, i think that's troubling. i think governor romney will have an ample opportunity to explain it. and i think this will probably end up -- my guess is y'all at some point may want to ask him to do a rather in depth press conference explaining bain capital. >> that was from the presidential race. now comes knew that same bain capital is betting on a new train they can make sop money off, substance abuse. particularly the increase in heroin abuse, according to the substance abuse and healthy services

a strategist said nobody knew about bain capital but we made bain capital an issue in 2012. romney was on the ballot. >> i think the koch brothers right now are a stand-in for republican candidates that don't exist. a lot of these places they don't have an opponent yet so this is the best can you get to make that popular argument. bag to the point that this is not a national election but a regional election? the fact is in 2012 the obama campaign could make the economy and romney and bain capital and the middle class the issue because romney was the opponent in every single state. it is not going to be the case in these individual -- this is a regional campaign instead. i think what they're goinging to do is then go after -- find who the republican candidate is and try to attack them, undercut them as quickly as possible. >> am i correct on this theme have the democrats found new energy and a new strategy, the consensus here is it is a little better but don't buy champagne. >> with lots of caveats. >> it is still a grab-bag strategy. we've come up with five or six they'll ru

doesn't work, did it work when it focused on bain capital, costing people to lose their jobs. they were pretty rough, some of those ads. did they work? do we have evidence of that? >> i don't know what evidence there is. it's funny you mention that. a republican strategist e-mailed me last night and he said, you know, hey, i read your story and i just got to say the political scientists that have looked at this found no evidence that any of these ads ever worked. i guess it's a question you should probably ask a political scientist, not me, how you measure something like that. i don't know. i do know what they can do is they can create the perception of candidates as indifferent to the struggles of working people, and that's something you never want when you're running for office. but i do think the democrats are treading on thin ice in another key respect. they can overplay this. and you're already starting to hear them hammer this point a lot. harry reid goes to the floor of the senate almost every single day and brings up the koch brothers. and yes, it raises money for them

just had here and what nicole has just said. >> the summit is extraordinary, to talk about lyndon baines johnson, 50 years afterwards. here, john f. kennedy gained in death what he didn't necessarily earn earn in life, an ernest reputation for the achievement of civil rights but the so-called redneck president from texas did more for black people, i would argue than any president since abraham lincoln, he joined the figureable in 2,000 the greatest americans to ever live, martin luther king in a kind of fellowship of common ideas, along with many others, but the civil rights leader and the president joined together to forge connections that were both prophetic and also politically savvy to forge difference and democracy in this nation, the tragedy is we have come down from that mountain, the supreme court has said that the very means by which we have achieved justice in terms of voting rights is a significant symbol that we no longer needed, that kind of logic is askew so what we need to do is recuperate and regenerate the same kind of prophetic passion that lbj and mlk had together. >>

during his time as majority leader, lyndon baines johnson faced only one filibuster. harry reid has faced more than 400. the silent filibuster is used when 41 or more senators merely threaten to filibuster. this is different from the talking filibuster in which one person takes turn talking for as long as he or she can without eating, drinking, or going to the bathroom. if you have been watching the news lately, you might've noticed that almost all bills are described as needing 60 votes to pass. this is because cloture is passed in order to end debate to prevent a filibuster meaning that 60 or more senators must vote to end debate on a bill because there is a threat of a filibuster. by taking time to vote on cloture, senators are taking time away from working on the issues that are important to our country today and will deeply affect our future. the use of the silent filibuster has become considerably worse under the presidency of barack obama. the republican minority in the senate has used it exponentially more than any other senate. since barack obama has been pre

i need the companies to stop paying tax baines and start investing in new businesses, and i need the government to pull back regulation so they're not afraid to take the costs. cut back. cut back. >> second is congress, which ain't going to happen. and the third one are decisions made sloely in the c suite. they don't need the government to tell them to do that. >> no. >> those are decisions they're making on their own. >> they're making it on their own, because the rate of return after tax is insufficient right now in the united states, compared to around the world. pfizer and astrazeneca, they're doing this for a lot of reasons, okay, that's great. but they want to dilute the share ownership so they can move their headquarters to london. >> and another tax rate -- >> of course, 20 percent tax rate in london versus an all-in 40% tax rate here. the techie companies and the health care companies, which could be two big growers are now more interested in tax profits rather than building new business. that troubles me. i don't blame them, but it troubles me. >> it should trouble all ame

in 1960 lyndon baines johnson, he was up for re-election in the senate, and he was also running for president. he did not of course win the nomination for president in 1960. that honor went to john f. kennedy. but then mr. johnson did get tapped to run as mr. kennedy's vice presidential nominee. and even with that second choice job to run for, lbj still had the problem of his senate seat being up at the same time. lyndon johnson had served two terms in the senate by this point. he was the majority leader in the senate. he was really powerful. he was really good at being a senator. and he really didn't want to give up that base of power for himself. but texas stay law at the time was a problem. texas state law at the time said you can't run for two offices at the same time. you can't run for re-election as a senator and for vice president. johnson by law couldn't be on the ballot to be re-elected senator and be vice president at the same time. and so if he had followed that law then the cost of running for the vice presidency and losing would have been johnson holding no public office at all.

lyndon baines johnson faced only one filibuster. harry reid has faced more than 400. the silent filibuster is used when 41 or more senators merely threaten to filibuster. this is different from the talking filibuster in which one person takes turn talking for as long as he or she can without eating, drinking, or going to the bathroom. if you have been watching the news lately, you might've noticed that almost all bills are described as needing 60 votes to pass. this is because cloture is passed in order to end debate to prevent a filibuster meaning that 60 or more senators must vote to end debate on a bill because there is a threat of a filibuster. by taking time to vote on cloture, senators are taking time away from working on the issues that are important to our country today and will deeply affect our future. the use of the silent filibuster has become considerably worse under the presidency of barack obama. the republican minority in the senate has used it exponentially more than any other senate. since barack obama has been president, cloture has been filed more

lyndon baines johnson was sworn in and decided to stake his early presidency on passing the civil rightsogy could more he wieloquently honor pres kennedy's memory. >> reporter: but politics was nasty on the hill. southern democrats who felt their way of life was being threatened threw up hur after hurdle in the house. senators tried to talk the bill to death. richard worked in the white house for kennedy and then for president johnson. >> he was from the south and he had seen firsthand of course the poor blacks and poor mexican americans and others who were not getting a fair break in society. >> you wering swift passage for the bill -- >> reporter: lbj not only supported the bill, he also knew how to get it passed on capitol hill. >> johnson was the master of the senate. and as majority leader, he knew where all the bodies were buried, he knew what everybody's weaknesses with you es were. >> reporter: so he worked the phones. >> he would be on the phone with dr. king, then he would call governor wallace, then he'd call senator dirksen. and then he'd be on the phone with richard russell.

number one, as you said it is to celebrate 50 years since president lyndon baines johnson signed the and banned employment discrimination. then a year later, of course he signed the voting rights act which removed a lot of barriers that prevented african-americans from voting. but number two, this is also designed to point out that we still have an awful lot of work to do. it did not end with lbj's work in the '60s. there are many modern-day civil rights issues this country is faced with like immigration and gay marriage. the work that has to be done has been the recurring theme throughout this three-day summit. tuesday night, former president jimmy carter talked an awful lot about gender equality. where he thinks we are still lacking on that front, not just at home but abroad. then last night, former president bill clinton addressed the issue of recent changes to the voting rights act such as new voter i.d. laws which he believes is taking one giant step backwards. listen to president clinton. >> i am concerned that on this 50th anniversary these divisions and the lack of a spirit o
