then we hired bill schultz, who was a close personal friend of mine. also he was the washington editor of the reader's digest for many years when evans and novak articles, we were what they call roving editors of the reader's digest. we did four articles a year. he was the principle editor. very fine editor. the original manuscript before the very first cut would have run about 1400 pages in a book, which is ridiculous, of course. it's a very thick book as it is right now, over 600 pages. a lot of people told bill schultz this would be the end of our friendship, but on the contrary i knew it had to be cut. i knew i couldn't make the cuts. just like saying you have too many children, you have to throw a certain number into the pond. but i knew it had to be cut and i was sorry things were cut. i think i disagreed with him on three or four small points. he exceeded my wishes on that, but on the whole he made the cuts. it was a great experience. i just -- i spent have spare moment writing this. it was -- i just loved writing it. a lot of wrirlgts have to b

bill schultz, you think she contestant in the hunger games right now. considered pioneer but sadly george carlin is no longer with us but joe derosa is called the turn. sun and nobody cheers when he appears, hello. >> today, and this is a movie that costs a lot. don't smoke pot. andy? >> awful. >> you are awful. >> you don't use the words like that. >> i said you are awful. >> what does that have to do with the lord's name. >> you said the god word, as well. >> i speak of california man forgotten in a holding cell for days and suing the government for $20 million. last month, daniel was picked up nine suspects in a drug raid and brought to a windowless room. and u.c. student said he was left there to drink his own urine to survive. he had a white powder that turned out to be meth. and fourth day, he broke his eyeglasses with his teeth and contemplated killing himself. he tried to cover a message in his arm which he later explained. >> this is f-in pitch black, but i gave up on that one. >> an attorney says he was given torture and i was once trapped to

schultz. >>> the california assembly today unanimously approved a bill that would prevent employers from asking for social media pass words from employees. the bill would also ban employers from requiring job applicants to give up user names for sites such as twitter and facebook. nora campos of san jose is the bill's author. she says there's some concerns that employers are using social media to get answers for questions they can't legally ask. >>> the city will cut some leases and restructure its solar business. the company says it's going to relocate its manufacturing office to asian from switzerland. and operations and customer support will move. it may have to trim even more to get to the break even point. >>> twitter is getting ready to move into its new headquarters in the mid-market area of san francisco. the company is renovating the former san francisco furniture mart on market street near ninth. the first employees are set to move into the building in mid- june. twitter isn't the only high profile tech company snatching up san francisco office space, yelp today announced it's he'sing

staff and the person who gets the gold star in all of this is joe schultz who has worked so hard, skourd every single part of this bill to be able to find resources that come together to be do what we need to be able to do senator roberts and senator conrad. >> let me just say that i really like going back to the simplicity of using the five-year olympic average price for both the individual and the county level. i am very encouraged. i think that this amendment will allow payment rates for both the individual and the county coverage. i do also appreciate the chance to work with you, senator baucus and conrad and senator hoeven as well who played a very important role. ike and joel and tara have been nominated for bronze stars or the purple heart. >> that's right. >> and i think jonathan and joe are nominated for silver stars, i guess that's just the majority, the minority, i don't know. but i want to echo what the senator from montana has indicated. these people have been going now for three four days in a row, weeks in a row with very little sleep and as many different changes as we have made because members make ch

schultz. it is crazy. >> bill: and bill press right?r: and bill press and tom hartman and stephanie. it has made a big difference. whenever i hear anything i forward it via e-mail to my friends to make sure they stay informed. >> bill: good for you. >> caller: i ask people to take somebody else to the polls. people don't realize how bad things really are. >> bill: right. you say about the news programs. these news programs, all of them should have been talking about this effort to suppress the vote. they should have started last year when all of this started right, and still today and this has been going on for over a year, nobody is talking about it. >> caller: i found out about it because i listen to progressive radio talk. >> bill: lois, we're there for you. i'm so glad you're there for us. tell all of your friends. that's what we need to hear. seriously, if there were more progressive voice out there, more opportunities for progressive voices out there, that's what is so great about wcpt and other progressive stations around the cou

debbie wasserman schultz down played it earlier, and now she said she is going to go bill clinton issn't going to go. should the president have done more here in this case? >> i mean, it's -- it's a classic situation where it's a high-risk, high-reward proposition. if he had gone in -- it is still possible, but if he went in he would bring a ton of momentum to the race, and he could sway some votes, but at the end of the day if he goes in there and then they lose the recall election he has egg on his face the campaign has egg on its face. >> cliff is that a problem that the president is so politically cautious, the republicans send in everything they have got, and the democrats are tiptoeing around. >> maybe president obama needs a little more john mccain in him. wisconsin -- if scott walker survives this, that could become a serious swing state again and one that obama could lose. i don't think they looked at the longer picture. maybe these guys don't stand up and take the high risk worth the reward in this case. >> i totally agree. can we vote on a guy who is clearly being funded.

and schultz has served eisenhower, nixon and reagan. billf my interest ooh with ann coming up. with today's to go until voters cast their ballots, there was a new poll showing this is a tight race. scott walker wind hig lead over tom barrett, 7 points, said to be within the margin of error. mike tobin live in milwaukee, wisconsin. less than a week to go, what does governor walker say about the numbers? >> the walker camp is very happy with the numbers. he has a 4% margin of error. that puts walker going into tonight's final debate with a lot of momentum in his corner. he's bolstered by recent job numbers that the walker camp pushed out a little bit early. since governor walker put his reforms into place wisconsin was down some 33,000 jobs. what they did was add on the most recent quarter, which shows a dramatic turn around and puts wisconsin up 27,000 jobs. mayor barrett's campaign says those numbers were dubious, only pushed out in front for political gain and had yet to be confirmed. a memo from the department of workforce development conf

bill? >> would boone pickens be behind this? i think he would. schultz along with jim woolsey, myself and a number of others. we're trying to get it moving to create a methanol. >> how do you have create consumer demand? >> give us the two-page bill with mandate that by a certain date all cars sold or made in this country would have to have flex fuel engines. >> so it doesn't create demand, it creates product. >> the flex fuel. >> any fuel? >> it would be alcohol fuels. so alcohol has a different effect on the metals on the fueling system and the btus available. you need an adjust mpt in the fuel system, in the soft rate in the burn engine. $100 a car. it it's $100 a car to do that. it's not like retro fitting cars. it's -- a lot of the suvs today you'll see flex fuel. it's alternative fuel. methanol sells for $1 a gallon. >> you would not need a government initiative for it if you just made this tweak? >> you just make the tweak. the cars are out there. somebody comes in with a cheaper, better product and suddenly, wow, the market takes off. >> i think

priebus, chairman of the republican party and debbie wasserman schultz who is also the ircha of the dnc, the democratic national committee and billnning for re-election. they agree this was a bad idea. >> i don't think they'll expel me from the democratic because i hold opposing views. >> the dnc -- >> debbie is fro florida --? >> and she did it for political reasons? >> and the situation when with i was alvarez' campaign manager. i understand florida politics and cuban politics. we've had 50 years of this embargo and you know what? we have to get rid of the cold war mentality. i met with the cardinal. i met with dissidents and cuban officials and i met with alan gross. i didn't go as a propaganda regime, and i went there to find out what was going on 90 miles from our border. >> debbie wasserman schultz does what is politically popular in her home state. as far as the embargo in cuba, there are two sides of that issue. there are folks, wolf who think the most powerful weapon we have is freedom and free trade. do you then sell stoves to hitler? do you do trade with a tyrant who will use the benefits of that economic trade to oppr

schultz stumped for barrett in milwaukee and racine, wisconsin, today. chair of the democratic governor's association, martin o'malley, will campaign for barrett in wisconsin tomorrow. and reports surfaced that billrting out his schedule for a possible visit to the badger state. it certainly can't hurt. but there is one high-profile democrat who is planning not to go and show up in wisconsin. president obama's deputy campaign manager stephanie cutter downplayed the importance of a visit to wisconsin earlier today. if you think that the secret weapon here is sending president obama, then i'm pleased that you believe that. it has nothing to do with president obama at the top of the ticket. there may be some that will, you know, predict that it means doom for us in wisconsin in the fall elections, but i think they'll be proven wrong. >> there is no doubt that there is a huge political calculation being made right now by the obama team not to send the president to wisconsin. i think he needs to get there. he needs to fire up the troops even more. this is about the middle class. this is absolutely, really, there's no downside when president obama shows up. how could there be a downside? it would be al

schultz: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today in opposition to the sequester replacement reconciliation act. the second phase in the republican pathway to poverty plan. this bill once again fails to reach any measure of fairness and shared responsibility. all of us agree that the implementation of sequestration would be a damaging, harmful approach to taking an effort to achoove deficit reduction. -- achieve deficit reduction. the difference between democrats and republicans, instead of taking a balanced approach, the balance would replace sequestration with tax breaks to millionaires and special interests, while ending the medicare guarantee, slashing investments that strengthen our economy, and shredding the social safety net. not surprisingly important provisions of the affordable care act are in their sights. the prevention and public health fund was an unprecedented investment in our health and well-being, particular for women and children. by providing funding for vital cancer, and the fight against epidemic, fighting obesity, and diabetes, this fund invests in our nation's health and it will provide savings down the line to help catch afflictions early.
