it was bryonn bain, aka bostick. i did not know who that was. they have given up my information and i've done myself in jail again for a crime i did not commit. this time i said, hell no, i am suing everybody. the police, the state of new york. the public defender came to me -- this is the craziest part of the situation. the public defender who is there to defend your constitutional rights -- she came in to see me with plastic cause and a surgical mask. i saw her walking around with all the rest of the brothers. i thought maybe she had something that she did not want to give us. [laughter] that is righteous. i respect that. whenever you have to do. then she got me into the interrogation room and she said to me, you say you have education. where did you go to school, high school? public-school of new york. this does that add up. i skipped two grades before college. where did you go to college? how did you pay for college? you went to grad school? how did you pay for law school? what did that have to do with my case? i was just going with the flow

he and baine investors pocketed about $100 million in the deal. here to talk about obama's upcoming speech paul bengal la and kevin madden. paul, if romney weren't touting his private sector experiences one of his major selling points, how important would his record in the real world of business be? >> well, i think any candidate's background in business, their professional life, is important. and you're right. mitt romney's made it the centerpiece. he says he's an expert on jobs i suppose he is in the same way an undertaker is an expert on healthcare. not the way you want. staples sounds like a brilliant investment. he helped create jobs, made him rich. god bless him. but i do think you're going to hear more an more -- i know -- from workers who have been laid off by mitt romney. maybe the jobs he's created, maybe tens of thousands were in india or china which he was bashing today in his speech. but he has really set himself up here, anderson, as somebody who i think is going to be quite vulnerable. mike huckabee the last time around, a republica

the attacks of bain, are they new? >> well, it is coming down the world view, and what governor romney will tell the many primary voters and if he were to earn the nomination and find his way into the nomination, he would say that his world view of understanding the private sector and admittedly what goes right alg wro and wrong in the private sector is important to put together his blueprint to turn around the american economy. we can't rely on people who have just government experience who only know about government paycheck in order to create and fix and create an economy that can get, that can put american people back to the work and can be turned around again so that we are creating jobs. ultimately, this has to come around people who are in small businesses and big businesses and businesses that have succeeded and failed in order to make sure that we are a back to create ing t creating the jobs so that americans have more of the jobs. >> but kevin, sometimes in business what goes right in a business is not what g

she introduced me to bryonn bain, and she always introduces me to the various artists that come in to work in the school district. as i learned about bryonn and experienced his presence and i was thinking about putting together this program, it just clicked -- why not bring the two together to bring this link from the past unsegregated jim crow to what is happening in the 21st century and that has been happening? i think i was inspired by michele alexander's booke." >> it is my pleasure to say, ms. colvin, without you we would not be where we are.

here's my letter to dan bain the c.e.o. of trader joe's have also included a copy of the good samaritan act which was signed into being in one thousand nine hundred six by bill clinton and that encourages grocery stores to donate food and it protects them from being sued so i'm just asking him to consider moving trader joe's into the next step of simply not wasting as much food and getting it to people who need it i figured the c.e.o. of trader joe's probably wouldn't get back to me after one letter so i decided to send him. a letter a day for the next month a letter went out to t.j. c.e.o. dan bain every morning and we continue diving as normal time passed dumpsters swelled with food and then suddenly the landscape changed we began seeing more people at the dumpsters and not your typical diverse people that seem to need to through it a lot more than we did. as i waited to hear back from trader joes about all the food in their trash cans the world spiraled into a food crisis a kid in college. again the plan. to be. to. shoo

bryonn bain, i want to ask what has happened since this struggle here and why we are still where we are, beyond the cosmetics. what has led to this situation that you described in new york city? >> i think racism has evolved and adapted. as the movement grew in strength and folks became more conscious, races and became more institutionally embedded. they found new ways to basically sustained slavery. michelle alexander calling it the new jim crow. between the 1960's and 1970's, the prison population across the country doubled. in the 1970's and 1980's, it tripled. in california, and build no new prisons between the 1960's and 1970's, the height of political action. between the 1970's and 1980's, they build more prisons in california alone and in the past 100 years. one thing that has happened is the warehousing of black folks in these facilities. if you think about what slavery is, the parallels, it is not just a metaphor when you talk about modern-day slavery. slavery denied black folks the ability to be mobile. you were trapped on one location, in a plantation. it broke up our familie

then, bryonn bain, whose life is not as long but illustrious nonetheless, will give 10 minutes also withe trauma at the head of it. and then we will have a conversation for the next maybe 20 minutes, amongst the three of us. then we will open it to the floor for you to ask them questions. the goal is this -- when we leave this afternoon -- as a teacher, you have to have your objectives set, yes? any teacher with herself has to know what you want to have come of this. what i want to have, this is that we are all more informed about the way in which systems of racism work in this country -- what i want to have come of this. and also have a clear sense of what each of us can do about it and what we individually will do with our own work. that is the assignment. let's get started. i'm going to ask ms. colvin to, in 10 minutes or so, stick to two important dates, mentioned by awele. the march to date and the may 11 date in court -- the

when you listen to the kind of statistics bryonn bain put out, the way that the structure still works, it is important we put that kind of information into the hands of young people to understand what we are addressing and also what we need to do to change it. in canada -- i recently did some work in nova scotia. their slogan for black history month is educate 12 months, celebrate one. so we have a lot to work on, to look back to, and to look forward to. i just want to say, that is something we cannot miss. when we talk about episodes like bryonn described, if it happened twice, it is an accident, twice, an accident. but when it happens three, four, five times, it is a pattern. we need to ask how we can address this pattern of injustice and racism. i want to ask what difference does it work has made as an artist in this field? we understand things can be different, you know. >> i am actually doing a show talking about my experiences. i worked with a talented group of other artists to tell the story of my experience of being thrown in jail for a short period of time, alongside the stor

she also analyzes all the players on the white house stage like lyndon baines johnson. she makes it clear she always thought he had his own ambiguous agenda saying he was picked to be vice president primarily for votes ininexas and to undo his mischievous power in the senate. >> if you had him up there with that enormous ego and bitter, so nobody was happy about it. everyone was even amazed that he accepted. and i think, well, some other people can tell you about it, going down to his room and everything and i guess he was drunk. >> reporter: she says as vice president in the white house, he was barely there. >> jack would say, you could never get an opinion out of lyndon in any cabinet or his national security meeting. he'd just say, you know, that he agreed with them, with everyone or just keep really quiet. so lyndon as vice president didn't just do anything. >> reporter: but there's a skill to listening to any oral history and finding the truth. >> i mean bobby and lbj had this mortal hatred for one another. >> reporter: keep in mind her brothehein-law bobby is goin

but the good thing was that shortly thereafter, the president, who was lyndon baines johnson at the time, did ask me to dance. and what kind of a dancer was l.b.j.? he was a terrific dancer. you mentioned that you had to fight down the temptation to share your views on the vietnam war. you bet. i was marching against the war and playing in a wonderful play called, oh, what a lovely war-- very anti-war sentiment-- at arena stage at the time. l.b.j. was pariah to those of us who were against the war, and there i was dancing with him. and i thought, "now's my chance to tell him." and then i thought, "it's not the time." this poor man needs a little relaxation. besides, he fox-trots very well. [laughing] if he'd been a poor dancer, you would have let him know your view? [laughs] you bet. i-i was-- on the other topic of courage, another early example in your career came in a scene from the great white hope, where--by today's standards would not be shocking or offend most people, i think-- but a scene in which you and james earl jones are in a bed together-- interracial couple, fully clothed.

for a stranger in the bush white house doesn't know how to fight the latest round of obama versus bain are they close to being or yes again this is just petty and silly isn't it oh it is absolutely it's embarrassing the president versus the speaker of the house what a difference a day makes in washington d.c. . you know i really wonder how many pundits out there were called in last minute last night to talk about this most important story of the day how many other stories and get bumped to discuss the never ending tit for tat between president obama and john boehner let's face it for starters that most america most of america would have given a crack at the republican debate and a jobs speech over a laugh because they probably wouldn't be watching either one anyway now when you mess with football that's a whole different story but alas here we are again remembering the mainstream media well which is incased in a glass bubble that includes washington d.c. and new york they are the establishment and they live in this bubble and they know nothing else they've gone ahead and completely mis

speaker bain her give his job speech tomorrow. i want to talk about this possible strategy with the white house pushing for passing portions of. this some within the president's base already stheeg as compromise. in their eyes, whenever the president compromises, he ends up being perceived as the loser here. >> people are predisposed to expect compromise and caving from this white house. whenever anything like this comes out, that's the frame people will see it in. but the president's position is pretty logical when you think about it. if they pass just a pay roll tax cut, on what grounds would the president go ahead and veto that? so all it is is an admission of reality. what they're saying is that if they pass little pieces of it, like say just the extension of pay roll tax cut, or just something to keep teachers employed, or just something to fix up schools or roads, et cetera, then yes, he'll sign that. and he'll keep pushing for more of it down the road. and at the same time, he'll keep barnstorming the country and blasting r

the donor was a former colleague of romney's at bain capital. these people have poured money into politics, money that is untraceable unless it is disclosed voluntarily. in 2010, the u.s. chamber of commerce spent $31 million and reported none of it. >> our candidates that we will educate about and be positive about are people that have voted, no matter their party, have voted on issues that create jobs, that are positive for the business community. >> reporter: as for the tea party freshman, renee ellmers, she took her name off the bill, opposed by americans for job security. she claims signing on in the first place was a staff error. was it? or was it an acknowledgement of the new reality in washington, d.c.? the amount of money flowing into the political space in 2012 will be a record, and much of it will flow through these outside groups. money has always mattered in politics, but pretty soon, it may be all that matters. and here with us now, lisa rosenberg, government affairs consultant at the sun life foundation, and paul bloomenthal, our

back in massachusetts when he ran against kennedy he was hammered for some of the work he did for baine in private equity which actually ended up in people losing their jobs. >> i think for the purposes of the next few months, anderson, he's now put out his plan. i thought he was stronger tonight as a result of it. he put out an economic plan yesterday. it's quite lengthy. he's composed a very good group of counselors, economic counselors. i think he's going to be well served by. i think -- i have to give him credit for that. i think he's in better shape than he was a few months ago. but it's still true that perry can come after him and say, look, i'm the governor. i'm running for an office where you have to help create jobs, provide an environment where jobs flourish. i've done that in texas. and perry's -- that's what makes him the sort of head on head. i think this thing's probably going to narrow down some. they're going to be going head on head. it's going to make a much more interesting race. >> erick, cornell mentioned michele bachmann saying he didn't think she did anything toni

>> i'm surprised the guy that went to tiffen, ohio, with bain capital, and shut down american standardone of america's great companies, we've all seen their products and he's talking about stand up to the chinese. it's not really in mitt romney's dna. but i don't care about. what i care about is this president, the president of the united states, standing up on currency and standing up on enforcing trailed rules and that's manufacturing jobs. and just 30 years ago almost -- over 25% of our gdp was manufacturing. today it's only 10% or 11%. germany's is almost twice that. and we've got to have a policy where we stand up for american workers and american small companies. i want to see them export more, but we can only do that if we have trade rules that work, and the president stands up. and as i said, he has actually done that better than his predecessors but he's got to be more aggressive than he has been. >> senator, you just said you hoped republicans would view things differently after being at home and around constituents and mitch mcconnell said it's more government spending and t

bill: house speaker john bain e. mitch mcconnell, both saying bernanke's moves have done much more harm than good to the economy, so stuart varney, the republicans want the fed to stay away from stimulating the economy. >> this is heavy duty political pressure from politicians tkraeupld at supposedly the independent federal reserve, the senator, the speaker, and the house majority leader, eric cantor, they're saying look, ben, quit printing money, you're hurting the economy. we've had three years of dirt cheap money and what do we got, 9 percent unemployment, housing prices slow, it's recommendnessen -- recommendnessent -- reminiscent of governor perry who said printing of money would be, quote, almost treasonous. this is big time political pressure on an independent federal reserve. bill: is the printing of money where they have the issue or other matters with the fed? >> what it call comes -- what it all comes down to, what the fed is doing, all the mesh -- measures taken, it is simply printing money, pumping dolla

because they felt it didn't cut enough spend sog essentially the two got together and beat up on john bain e. john boehner wanted to pass this, the speaker of the house wanted to pass this bill, avert a government shutdown and he lost because he lost 48 of his own republicans and only # democrats came over to his side. put those numbers together and john boehner doesn't control the house of representatives. bill: what does that mean for john boehner, what does it mean for republican leadership, byron? >> it means it's difficult for him to control his own team. if you look back, there were two continuing resolution fights earlier in the year and in each successive vote, boehner got fewer -- less support from his freshmen, from the conservative tea party caucus, now he lost 48 votes, so what it says is he's going to have to come up with sharper spending cuts, with a stronger proposal, to get back their support. bill: how real is the possibility of a government shutdown, as we stand right now? will that happen? >> right now, it doesn't look that imminent, because the numbers involved are not

the president of the united states, lyndon baines johnson, called senator hughes and is said to havem, you want that dam in iowa, call frank church and hung up the phone. in other words, you know, you want to deal with frank church, see if he can give you the dam because i'm not giving you the dam. >> this does happen typically in washington. maybe people don't like it, but this is how washington works. john murtha, loved john murtha, god rest his soul. but murtha, they all called him the chairman. one of the surprising things. republicans came in power in '95 and everybody was very cocky. but when john murtha walked by, even the older republican members would go, mr. chairman, mr. chairman. there were always people around him in the back corner on the democratic side, and i didn't know who this guy was. what's with this? but murtha knew how to use his power. and he always took great pride in getting his defense appropriation bills through the house faster than anybody else. nobody was to offer amendments. you want an amendment, you talked to him before him. i will not mention the de

romney in contrast -- every chance he got to sort of look like the guy who -- to look like the former bainve and talk about a 59-point plan when it comes to economy, eight-point plan with immigration, da-da -- almost as if their campaign decided -- when rick perry wasn't in the race he didn't do that a lot. now the contrast is great because of what you just put up by mike murphy and others. >> the big question though do people vote issues or persona? when i look at rick perry's persona, i see what is a traditional, very appealing thing for republicans. pugnaciousness. >> is that your view of republicans? >> george w. had it. if you go back early on reagan had it. i think there's something in his tone. >> no, no. reagan never had that tone. >> i think that, listen, let's stay with george w. i think there is something in his fighting nature that is very appealing to a lot of the angry republicans. forget what he says. it's what comes out. and i think that's what people vote on, the person not the issues. >> let's bring it right now. i don't think that's going to be the case in the long run.
