craig becker was first nominated last july.ontroversy surrounded his nomination and has only grown since then. a review of decades of writing by mr. becker have revealed that he has advocated for the most radical theories of labor law, pursuing policies such as mandatory unionization where an employee would choose which union to join, not whether to join the union, and questioning whether an employer has the right to any involvement at all in the unionization questions in his workplace. in addition to his writings, mr. becker has spent the majority of his career serving as counsel to the two largest labor organizations in america which has raised questions about his ability to fairly adjudicate cases involving those unions. on these issues and others, members of the "help" committee raised a number of serious concerns. it's been cited as a negative that republicans on the committee submitted hundreds of written questions to mr. becker, and it is certainly true that we did ask a will the of questions. last year, mr. becker answe

senator craig and i wrote the cbs's said the would be the most effective thing we could do to containhat answer was clear and compelling. number one coming have to begin to tax cadillac plans and reduce the tax exemption. number two, you have to reform the delivery system instead of paying for procedures you have to begin to pay for quality. those of the two most important things you can do. do you agree? >> i do. an enormous opportunity was lost by the obama administration too not embrace senator mccain's notion that taxes, the tax exemption on the employer based health insurance should be phased out. that is a better approach than taxing that cadillac plans. >> that is what cbo did it recommend but i paid to work today little bit but they really did say phase out. >> to get to the same objective. >> yes. you could do either way but it is really important that we not have the government they bring excessively generous through the tax system favoring extensively generous health plans that encourage people to use too much health care or the providers to give it. and the other piece is

and the first thing that comes to mind and what everybody's talking about today is a man named craig becker who was the president's nominee to be on the national relations labor board involving labor management disputes across the country. a lot of republicans and business leaders think he's too radical to be on the nlrb, and by scott brown's arrival, it may put the kibosh on that. jon: well, has brown taken a public position on becker and his nomination? >> well, the good thing for scott brown right now is he is the man of mystery on capitol hill. nobody knows exactly where brown stands on all these issues, and it's building up some of this hype in washington because people aren't sure. but there is at least speculation that one of the reasons that brown wanted to come so early was to prevent democratic leaders from pushing through a lot of nominees from the president who are controversial the. jon: how much clout, i guess, is he going to enjoy as a freshman senator? doesn't most of the leadership in the senate really lie with the leaders of the various parties? >> absolutely. in te

his name is craig becker a union lawyer. he's the president's nominee to head the national labor relations board. the senate is set to vote tomorrow hours before scott brown takes the oath of office. the fear is if becker gets in, car check is all but in. it will allow unions to bypass secret ballot elections. the u.s. chamber the commerce ain't happy. mark, lay this out. what happened? >> well, it's looking like they're just reporting in the last 20 minutes, half an hour, scott brown may be seated tomorrow so that may have a damming consequence for becker's nomination to the national labor relation board. what people are worried about with becker is that he has been council for the afl/cio for the last several years and is cozy the american unions to be on the national labor relation board and giving a fair shake to businesses. in addition he wrote a paper in 1993 when he was a law professor and laid out the case for how the national labor relation board could use authority to do a sweeping overhaul of labor laws in ways th

it simply said, judge craig shaw was a very good judge on the court of criminal appeals. dollars and have survived in the past week, funded by a group out of virginia called the center for individual freedom inc. now, what the center for individual freedom incorporated in virginia had in terms of the men checked an open seat on the alabama supreme court is beyond me at this point. but it was enough that they spent almost a million dollars in television ads. following up on that, codes began to ring with so-called push polls. you've heard of push polls. it's supposed to be a poll, but really it's pushing a particular agenda. and this particular push poll, by the way, that area code for the call that came in was from area code 703. if you happen to know area code 703, that also happens to be in virginia. now why the americans in contact pact and northern virginia wanted to run these push false for an alabama supreme court race, again, the logic defies my understanding. in this push poll however one of the questions was as follows. were you aware that judge deborah bell pass

the big reason they did it and craig smith is a great surgeon who did it and really smart and technicallyt, what he did was he took the left internal mammary and with the other vessel, the right internal mammary busineypassed three ves on the left side. like dr. schwartz said, that's your life insurance. if that stays open, you'll be okay. >> larry: actually, this extends life? >> yes, it does. i have people that have walter di dickinson in kamz. hez mammary has been open for 30-something years. he skis at high level sks does everything. >> larry: the only thing different was i have no discomfort. i feel fine. >> you ought to, because the other grafts are open. they're profuse and your heart is getting plenty of blood supply. >> larry: a person watching, a graft is what? >> a graft is like putting a side road around the long island expressway. you know, if it is stopping up, the traffic is there, you go around that exit. >> larry: once you click on it is the graft? >> you hook it up. it's like somebody said, it's a plumbing job. all we are is glorified plumbers. >> you hook the graft in a

craig, why don't you go first. >> i think we need to very much intensify the diplomatic relations with iran and i think that means recognition. i think what you want to do is establish a basic a dialogue and you cannot do this unless you're talking with a recognized sovereign state. i think that's essential. and you don't have to agree with the sovereign states, you can basically oppose their policy. you can invoke sanctions but i think you need full diplomatic relations and i think if you have that, you create a level of confidence between the twoçó countries which has peaceful effects. >> it's important that we be able to show progress moving towards success will hold off desire to do things that might be, you know, dramatic but dangerous. and we need to also make the argument that we're working in a coalition of nations that all have to share similar goals with iran and i think that will hold off the more extreme calls from congress reaction. question about recognizing iran. part of the problem is to be honest, you know, the iranians have done everything they possibly can to give th

. >> we had someone in the closet in the larry craig scandal and he's still around.rs, what's the story here? >> david paterson has already cheated on his wife. he came out before he took office. >> larry: admitted that. >> exactly. we have to put this in context. this is new york. i worked on the last governor's race against eliot spitzer. it's tough. new yorkers are pretty -- look, we have the tabloids here. we have other papers. everything is sensationalized. new yorkers are used to it. they're actually quite forgiving surprisingly. >> why is the governor's private life news? why are there state journalists in albany reporting on ethics and integrity and a state senate which has been deformed by corruption? where's the journalism about real stories in this country? >> it could not be his private life. >> there's a deeper issue. >> i love governor spitzer, but he did sign the giant golf check. should i just sign it governor of new york and just put four hookers at the bottom here? i mean, that's -- >> governor spitzer made big mistake but he knows where the bodies
