let me bring in united auto workers bob king tonight. how does this ring in your ears? was this a coordinated conspiracy by republicans to stop unionization? >> very, very clear there was an abuse of power, abuse of taxpayer money, to tie incentives to a union vote. what we want for tennessee for the workers at chattanooga, we want them to get that new suv. we would just encourage the governor, senator corker, do what's right. help the citizens of tennessee, make sure you get the proper incentives on the table so the best financial decision for volkswagen to make is to put that product there. that's what our interest is. >> this new report about the $300 million on the table, does that trouble you at all? is that normal operating procedure before the a vote? >> absolutely not. it troubles me tremendously. it troubles me tremendously to hear politicians trying to tell the second largest corporation in the world tremendously successful, one of the most profitable auto companies year in and year out, and they're trying to tell them how to run their business. i mean, isn't

the union president, bob king, says, "uaw is ready to put february's tainted election in the rear-view mirror an instead focus on advocating for new jobs and economic investment in chattanooga. this is big news. i think this will stun a lot of people the union is basically saying, all right, we're done here. >> a lot of people who don't believe it for a second. a lot of people thought that this was going to be the first domino of the lot to drop. for its part, volkswagen chattanooga today issued a statement saying it welcomes the uaw's decision to challenge the vote and says it will do all it can in the future to implement a system where workers' concerns are a part of how it does business. volkswagen told fox news volkswagen chattanooga is seeking to establish good opportunities for all its employees, opportunities that are normal practice for volkswagen team all over the world. volkswagen's german headquarters wanted to establish a so-called works council at the chattanooga plant similar to what it has in factories throughout europe. it gives workers a say in how the plants are run b

for more on this, let me bring in the president of the united auto workers, bob king. mr.nly surprise a lot of people because of the reporting that had been done about the secret documents. explain what motivated your organization, the united auto workers to withdraw the objections. >> well, we've always been about what's best for the workers of cat noog go ahea chattanooga. we were convinced the best thing to do was to put this behind us. we were also greatly impacted by the fact that the nrb is not set up really to deal with outside interference. the framework and the rules are about employer behavior, employee behavior and union behavior. and there's not really effective remedies in the law for outside forces. so when congressman miller said they were going to open up an inquiry in congress about the inappropriate and maybe illegal activities of some of the elected leaders in tennessee, we thought that was a better format. we want to focus on how do we move forward in tennessee, how do we help support getting the new vehicle into the chattanooga plant. that's what drove

that means we're joined by syndicated columnist and self-proclaimed selfie king himself, bob franken.perating my own camera. >> that's why you're the selfie king. >> that's right. they don't want to spend the money this early in the morning. >> all right. i want to get to this. even though the white house is preparing new sanctions tas goes into today's meeting with russia and ukraine, does putin appear to have the upper hand in this geopolitical chess game, if you will? >> one would think. first of all, he has said the obvious to the russian people. he has -- the russian counterpart of a fire side chat. he is saying now that, of course, russian troops back the efforts in crimea. so the fact is now we've moved on to the rest of eastern ukraine and in answer to your question, it would seem that he does have the upper hand. the range of sanctions is somewhat limited by the fact that the european countries, part of the european union, have a real problem applying too much pressure on putin because he can apply it right back by raising the price or cutting off the supply of natural gas. >

bob franken from king features and catherine ward, managing editor at "reason" magazine. good to see you on a sunday afternoon. >> hello. >> chris, much of the focus was on senators ron paul -- rand paul, i should say, and ted cruz. senator paul was asked if he thinks he's a front runner for 2016. this was his response. >> i don't know if that's good luck or bad. why don't we not go there? i guess it's better than not being noticed. no matter what, i think the republican party needs to evolve, change. >> does rand paul see himself as the guy? >> i think he does. he's got a base of support. he doesn't fit the traditional republican mold. obviously more libertarian. more libertarian than tea partyish. he creates a different image. the problem senator paul has, senator cruz has, it's a battle between the fringe. to win a presidential election you have to figure out how to win in a more progressive, less white majority country. you have to figure out how to win women majorities and young voterers. i don't see them able to do that. >> it seems paul is acknowledging what happen

bob restored the party's financial footing and he ran the 1976 convention so smoothly that coretta scott king and george wallace agreed to share the same stage. he was asked again to get an impossibly complicated trade bill through congress. he knew it could be done. at one point during negotiations with the europeans, he drove a -- he drew up a list of desired american agricultural concessions. he wrote it out on a nice tablecloth at geneva's intercontinental hotel. when the maitre d' confronted him, he pulled out his wallet and bought the tablecloth and gave it to his dining companions. by the way, the trade bill passed in the house, 94-6 in the senate. 395-7 in the house. president bush asked him to serve at the age of 73 as u.s. ambassador to a soviet union on the brink of collapse. strauss responded again, here am i, send me. it should be noted that strauss's ideal brand of diplomacy involved homemade nachos. he once mischievously invited richard nixon to the ambassador's. it was the same night he was hosting ben bradley. for all that he achieved in his career, the ultimate accomplishmen

policies and that is again the message of lbj 50 years later, bob we have to have corrective policies that help level the playing field, dr. king even after the passing of the civil rights act and the passage of the voting rights act was not satisfied as dr. dyson knows he talked about after all of his work he fretted hin integrate good a burning house and challenged us all to become firemen so that was the beginning, it was not the end and presidents have to push policies that help disadvantage people come up. >> well, now, george bush did put no child left behind into effect, that was a bipartisan bill that had support from senator kennedy, from george miller in the house, one of the most liberal of the democrats in the house. do you feel that was a success or it is now, you know, congress can't find a way to refund or fund those programs now. what do you think, how effective do you think that was. >> that is interesting. the reason there is still conversation and infighting about no child left behind it is so imperfect in many ways, it may have been well intentioned going in but the way it was implemented and so the debate c

led by coretta king, with some help here and there from stevie wonder and a whole host of, whichs who are traced in my -- host of characters who are in the story. but ashbrook kept bobbing up and dishing out this old conspiratorial, king consorted with communists stuff, denouncing king as a figure worthy of elevating to position of a national hero, recognizing on the level of a full guaranteed day off as official federal policy to elevate this man to the level of george washington and christopher columbus and jesus of nazareth-was horrifying to this guy and he tried to convince his colleagues in congress. there will only two people who opposed the king holiday and took that strategy of opposing king's character. things changed so much by the late '70s and '80s, larry mcdonald from suburban atlanta, georgia, a democrat, and also a member of the john birch society, who continued to denounce king as a communist, et cetera, and then finally there was jesse helms, who actually a senator from north carolina who stayed out of the king holiday battle, at least on the floor of congress, until the very end when he stole the headlines by squaring off against ted kennedy and saying

bob. thank you. >>> if you want to profit in the market like a king, you might take a cue from fund titan bill millere best performing money managers on the planet. and he shared his top picks with the "squawk box" team earlier today. he's buying despite the declines. >> the housing stocks, the builders, those kind of things which did very poorly last year, even though our fund had a great year and have done poorly this year, i think they're extremely attractive because that's a long cycle. i think the airline stocks, cost on united is 7, the stock's in the 40s, those things are nowhere near as cheap as they were. but they're not expensive if you look at the underlying economics. technology is, i think, quite attractive, whether that be -- i think it's about time to buy ibm again. >> miller's fund returned 60%, 6-0, last year. more than double the s&p, and he thinks that the market has room to run despite today's selloff. >> we may be in the best bull market that we're likely to see in our lifetime coming off that 660 level. if we can maintain very low inflation, if interest rates are low, if growth
