after one hour's drive, we see the democratic union party. the kurds control this town and its people. we're going to spend a few nights with this family. supporters of the hero. one month and a half ago, they returned to their town in damascus. they can only afford to live and an unfinished house. >> here, we are together with our own people. >> it is really peaceful here. i hope i will be able to start work soon as a teacher. the next morning, we're taken to a so-called people's court where he sits as a judge. he casts residents, mostly kurds. their language, culture, all kurdish, were banned under assad. until recently, most of the people did not have not syrian leadership. the most influential figure is -- the leader jailed in turkey and considered a terrorist by the west. they have a founded these courts in his name. people's courts where they handed down a verdict. on this particular morning, a group of farmers complain about a diesel shortage. the farmers are angry. they say, they cannot use their machinery without fuel. >> we do not h

democratic party. it used to be that there was this strict alliance between the unions and the democrats, and the democrats just carried the water for the unions. and really couldn't be aggressive advocates for disadvantaged kids who are their constituents. and groups like the democrat -- well, the democrats for education group stood up and said we aren't going to take this anymore. we are going to represent the kids, and we're going to challenge the unions. we're going to take them on. and president obama and arne duncan did it with race to the top, right? they pushed reform in a direction that unions didn't want to go, and their democrats. they did this. this is an amazing thing really. politically, they deserve a medal for doing what they did. okay -- >> that was a great line to tweet, everybody. [laughter] >> so, um, there's a problem here, and the problem is that they're democrats. and because they're democrats most of these people believe in collective bargaining, they believe in unions, they believe unions and collective bargaining are good. and so they don't want to say we have to undermine collect

unions make endorsements over whelmingly democrat. unionbers don't vote the way their unions endorse. it's a two-thirds split. reagan democrats were classic. that's an important distinction it seems to me. >> who knows who anyone votes for? you can go in and your boss could say vote and they don't know. >> if there was a situation where someone said i'm going to fire you because of how you vote, that's absolutely unacceptable. >> that would be voter intimidation and against the law. >> absolutely. mitt romney said it could be and there are a lot of small business people out there who strongly support president obama. look, you have the right to express your views, and i hope you do that. >> this is a time of enormous economic insecurity. that letter in particular and the other letters prey upon that insecurity. the economy is okay, but if president obama is re-elected, you need to worry about your job. that preys upon that insecurity. >> that was not mitt romney but a ceo of a company. >> a florida-based company in a state where every vote

union members get a job. >> heather: he does make a couple good points. one of the things. it was said teacher said you can't wear a republican student in a democraticol. that bothered me. then the second thing, she had not been fired. should she be fired? >> no, i don't like that. full disclosure, i am a union member and i'm a registered democrat but i prefer to be an independent because i vote and think independently. that said, this is patriotic issue. this is something that republicans and democrats do. people that are unions or outside of unions. we need to grow up and do better than this. they are learning this intolerance from their parents. >> heather: but it was the teacher being intolerant here. we do wanted to be fair and take a look at school system. here is what they have to say. the student was expressing her right to freedom of speech and did not violated any rules. the school system is standing up for the student. we'll see what happens with this particular case and hopefully, the student can go back to school and not be harassed. >> god blesser. >> heather: thank you. >> we'll be back with a brand-new hour inside america's news head

>> i think union members that are active in their union tend to vote democratic. it has gotten much better, but it was very slow to recognize the new workers that they had to organize among african-americans and latinos and women. my grandfather is a union, the steam fitters union, did not even accept african americans -- my grandfather's union, the steam fitters union, it did not even accept african-americans and some others. voting for scott walker in wisconsin and the one in ohio, not realizing the public-sector -- cops and firefighters and teachers have become the new slackers and moochers who do not deserve what they are getting. there is an opportunity for democrats and people who care about social justice to say that everything we have been saying about african-americans to you, building this new republican majority, everything they have been saying, they are starting to say about white people. tavis: there are a number of ways that i can inform your question. if i had an hour, i have got a bunch of them that i would like to add, but what i do not understand

union. there are have been republicans critical even some democrats saying unions do block reforms needed torove schools by focusing on teachers first rather than students. >> i was a high school math teacher for 23 years. my first year of teaching i thought if i cared enough and worked hard enough i could deliver for every student. i soon learned that wasn't true. there are appealsmakers at the local state and national who makes decisions that impact the students in my classroom. i wanted a voice. that's what brought me into my association and my union. i wanted a voice to say to policymakers when you choose this decision, this is how it impacts the students in my classroom. so to try and separate the people from the union is crazy. the people are the union. and they want their voice heard. they spend every day working in public schools all across this nation under the most trying of circumstances attempting to give the best we can for students. their voice needs to be heard. >> deny fis van roekel. i appreciate it. here's a look at other stories for you. the white house is reportedly worki

let me ask a before we do on the name and david pension please robert david is this democratic having a more federal union right now without asking the people themselves. no i absolutely not i mean that you know consultation with the people you govern with consent is the absolute bedrock of democracy and i i agree with robert's a point to make an argument that the european union as currently structured is truly democratic is a pretty shaky one you know not least because the the commission isn't directly elected sure the european parliament is elected but that's one of the weaker components eyes as the other guest says you know their choice has to be made on this but that's where the contradiction lies with a lot of the chance to move are going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on european separatism stay with r.t. . if you. want. russia to be so much brighter if you move. from silence to question. please don't talk team dot com. which. phone watches you every single. and waiting for you to stumble. i saw a man. with a video camera so i moved and he phoned me.

maybe because ohio is a microcosm of the nation's electorate with its democratic dominated union-friendlyand toledo in the northeast, but the college town of columbus and central ohio. the republican leaning cincinnati and its suburbs in the southwest and the working class culturally conservative appalachian communities along ohio's southeastern border with west virginia. so if this san election about the economy, it's worth noting that ohio's jobless rate has dropped from 10.6% in early 2010 to 7.2% last august. there is debate over who gets the credit for that. president obama points to the auto bailout for helping save and create 72,000 jobs in the state. ohio's republican donor john kasik says his policies, including bringing more businesses and manufacturing to the state, have made the difference. the obama and romney campaigns have all but suffocated ohio airwaves with more than $75 million in ads. since june the candidates, their running mates and wives have campaigned in the state 65 times. that's an average of about four visits per week. before mitt romney's well reviewed debate

it means a lot of people is asking for the right of the nation in a democratic way but the union orientated vait is also a strong points to support their case if successful in their beds the present dependence leaders will have to deal with way more than just control of their own economies questions of the membership border security arrangements could muffle discontents a referendum. and these are the realities his cause his face his face as a father theirs is the only nation with the right to vote on the issue but these in support remain adamant that going it alone is the way forward a strong industries like the beaming tourism sector in scotland spirits scotland this established as the european leader and while life terms on this was over one hundred twenty million pounds a year to the scottish economy and it's a growing sector scotland is a very successful country as it is. when it can stand on its own feet its own. given times a year a day won't really quite still but life ahead but one thing seeing sense in that school this recent success is only going to strengthen the cools the days

weeks after that, the head of their union, peter brennan went to the white house with a hard hat with richard nixon's name on it and peter brennan later left the democratic party and became mix and's labor secretary, and that moment was really influential then turning a lot of unions away from democrats. so that in 1972 george mcgovern, the most probably prove lieber person in our history was largely rejected by the working class and by a lot of organized labor and the was just a tragedy that broke the party in half. >> they've managed to turn that question backend bill clinton captured a lot of those and barack obama captured some of them is at this point are the swing voters? >> they are swing voters i think for a buddy would agree. there was a point i was working on the book the obama -- the campaign was saying we have a strategy to win without ohio and you guys are crazy. barack obama one no white working-class and ohio. you can't give up on ohio and subsequently the president is leading in ohio. so, i think that a lot of the pessimism of even a year ago where people were saying you've just got to go for this exclusively for this new democratic coali

you were one of the early prominent democratic figures saying we have to reign in public union costs, don't have to do it by beamingerring them over the -- badgering them over the head. you argue both sides work together. you had progress. >> i am a democrat, chairedded the party convention, and i said i support the simpson-bowles frame work as a template. i think we have to cut the deficit, obviously, and the tune of somewhere in the neighborhood of $4 trillion over the next -- neil: what do you think of democrats and republicans who let simpson and bowles alone at the alter? >> we have to understand if we want to avoid sequestering, we have to get behind a frame work. neil: you think the president -- >> i think the president is absolutely clear that we need -- his proposal would cut $4 trillion in deficits, and the reason why -- neil: over ten years; right? >> over ten years, and the reason he doesn't want to extend bush tax cuts, he wants to reinvestment to provide for the safety net. neil: sounds like cuts, but as you know, mayor, it's $4 trillion off the growth of government over

most people understand that union members are not all democrats. ls, 42% of union households voted republican, but 93% of the dues money that the union uses goes to democrats. this would lock that in. stuart: we are out of time. this will be on the november ballot. comp tell us how that is doing. thank you very much, sir. next, we will place her maintains entire rant in defense of america. good stuff. you will not want to miss it. stay right there. stuart: government workers are among the biggest donors to president obama's campaign. government employees are in the top five among sources for cash in his campaign. this is according to the website open secrets.com. colleges are big supporters of the president. mitt romney sees his strongest backing from bank employees. herman cain defense of america. he was heckled and then responded to the heckler. >> this is the greatest task in the world. >> you as a. usa. usa. >> 25% of the world gdp.

i understand what it meant to work in that -- you know, in democratic union family.what it was when my dad lost his job when i was eight years old. i understand what it was and how tough it was to make a difference. that's what actually is started my idea of america is about. my dad said america is about opportunity. it's definitely about the future and opportunity. and that was the difference for me. and i'm happy to say that i was able to create 1500 jobs with that opportunity. i started my own business, first person to go to college in my family. paid for it on my own. drove a infrastructure. can a lot of things. that's the defense. my opponent, her views come from being a career politician. she also had a she talked about a family and boilermaker female. i applaud she grew up in the same views. the views are different. want election isn't about either of them. it's not about me or her. you know what it's about? the 23 million people who are looking for full-time employment right now. it's about the 47 million people that are on food stamps today. it's about the 5

union. there is only one group that leads democrats out of the top five donors, that is the teachers' unionsation association. they're number four on that list. every other person on that list is a republican. they want to eliminate the teachers' unions so republicans can win easier. let's bring in our own professor professor, tricia rose professor at brown university. i'm curious on your thoughts about this, professor rose, what do you make of this? >> you know, cenk, in is a strategic education. union versus been under enormous assault over the past 40 years. they're at an low, and it's a been a continuous attack. it's the idea that union workers get liveable wages, and this resource is interrupted by unions. in the case of this teachers' union and this film, this is an appalling campaign to take real parents' concern and anxiety about the quality of education and dutch dump it on one source of a massive web. it's very disappointing to see actors and actresses and others really being so deeply unaware of this assault. >> cenk: professor rose, one more thing i see why they're attacking teac
