what is going on that democrats should be afraid? >> union leaders are trying to get meetings with the white house and officials in the administration trying to unchange what they don't like about this health care law, so far, they're not getting anywhere. >> in the meantime, unions are not just protesting the health care law, some are protesting a $100 million donation. it's a weird story the reason why the forbes gang is getting ready to protest their protest. they're wonderful guys. when they protest, it's not like maybe your image of a protest, but still, they just rip open the grey bpoupon. that's coming up. did senate democrats just ask to be the butt of jokes? because they're using this guy, this guy, to say the climate change is not a hoax.

house republican leaders who saw the federalization of screeners as a boost to unions, who would organize them, and democratsn do all those things under a private system and do them better. poussaint: but while the leadership was digging in its heels, public opinion stood firm in favor of federalizing screeners. initial polls by the washington post and time/cnn found overwhelming public support r federal takeover of airport screening. because if you're a member of congress, from the tim you step off a plane when you go back to your congressional district, the people in the cabs, the people in the airport, the people you meet in town meetings, your donors, your friends, your neighbors, you know what they all say is, "hey, what are you going to do about..." fill in the blank. and when they get those kind of issues where everywhere they go and everyone they talk to is saying, "what are you going to do about x?" they come back and say, "wow, guess what, people are really riled up and they want us to do something." and guess what, congress acts. poussaint: despite the clamor for federalizing employees, the republ

involvement at the service because so much of the money in the employees represented through the union channels the democratic would like to see no unions in the service for those people actually doing tax audits and collection activities. again, if it is allowable under the law, it is very difficult. one of your principal criticisms is that the president is over interpreting the law. you have to be careful if you start to criticize individuals who are just taking advantage of the opportunities they have under the current law. right now those individuals have those rights. neil: i cannot believe you are such a big bucket the mock being so honest and straightforward. thank you very much, mark. i am kidding. very big honor to have you, we appreciate it. >> nice to talk to you, neil. neil: the clash over the contraception mandate has got a lot of our facebook the worst feeling. when you heard hobby lobby ceo was telling us what happened, you have not gone off since. here is what the attorney told me and why nobody is angrier than the judge, who is ready to let loose. let loose. ♪ nascar is about excitement. but

democrats and labor unions view this seat as a must-win. national republicans view it as one they can pick up, so outside money is pouring in, and with the tone already set, a blood bath on the airwaves is guaranteed. bret. >> mike tobben live in chicago, mike, thanks. >>> up next, our obamacare check-up series continues with a look at patient protections. but first, here's what some of our fox affiliates across the country are covering tonight. wofl in orlando is covering one of the mega millions tickets sold in nearby merit island. the other was sold in maryland. the third largest lottery prize in american history. at more than $400 million. >> wnyw in new york has osama bin laden's son-in-law's surprise testimony. the man recounted the night of september 11th attacks when bin laden told him, quote, we are the ones who did it. >> and this is a live look at houston from our fox affiliate there. the big story there tonight is the massive ice houston pd bust involving up to 100 suspected illegal immigrants in one home. police say it may have

democratic another. you've got the teachers unions terrified they are going to lose membership and people like the president and the secretary of education arnie duncan who very much support charter schools and to speak to bruce's point i have to say, i don't care who is running them. some are for profit. the bottom line is when you look at the performance numbers the charter schools, the kids are doing better. >> and rich, the fact is the parents want them. who should be in charge of kids' education? the teachers union or the parents? i think it's the parents and so do they. >> well, the parents overwhelmingly want them. i'm so glad that rick pointed out this physicalure in the democratic party. you have people on the right side of this like rahm emanuel, governor cuomo in new york and then you have people like de blasio and part of the reason his polls are plummeting he is on the wrong side of this. how could you be against parents wanting their kids to get out of the cycle of poverty by getting a real education. >> and john, we should mention by the way, we mentioned there is this connection with the old

i think whatever way russia behaves the european union and the whole democratic world has to do theirt to ensure that the association agreement is signed with ukraine and to not leave ukraine in the gray zone. >> that sounds like leaning west. >> absolutely. i think that ukraine's joining europe and the association agreement is the first step. it's like coming home. and we have to come home. >> is it fair to say you would not rule out playing a role? >> it's not being discussed. >> what is your thinking on how quickly ukraine and the rest of the world have to act? >> obviously, the crucial date is the referendum. i'm convinced that the referendum's results are very easy to predict. remembering the armed threat that exists there. >> and what you're saying is that after that referendum, the russians will annex crimea. >> if russia is not stopped it will go as far as it can. >> al jazeera's investigative unit has tonights exclusive report... >> from coast to coast... >> people selling fresh water for fracking... >> stories that have impact... >> we lost lives... >> that make a difference

the one they complain about that spend a lot of money on the democratic side are unions.ot my own feelings on financing of campaigns. but the fact is how do you compare one billionaire to a union that represents hundreds of thousands of workers and members? at least they're speaking for a group. you're comparing that to one person and one person's views. you call that equal? >> no. there is no comparison, rev, you're right. it's ams and oranges. let's be clear here. what schaaping on the republican side is you have these single individual donors who are essentially purchasing candidates. and they're doing that by giving a lot of money into their campaigns and essentially hog-tieing those candidates to particular kinds of issues. when we're talking about certain social issues and wedge issues coming from the right, these big campaign donors are able to force those issues into the campaign discourse. >> and nobody votes to decide where their money goes as in many of the unions where the members have some say so. james peterson and victoria defrancesco soto, thanks for your

if there was any doubt that democrats expect rauner to be tough competition in november, unions have spent $6 million on the republican primary on ads attacking rauner in hopes to boost weaker democratic competition. owns nine homes, made $53 million last year, has tried to downplay his personal wealth. campaign bio says he still drives a 20-year-old camper van, wears an $18 watch and stays in the cheapest hotel room he can find when he's on the road. >> pretty cheap but it gets the job done. at quinn's watch in springfield? just the opposite. record spending, job loss and one of the worst-run governments in america. >> rejected comparisons. >> i am very different person from mitt romney. i drink beer. i smoke a cigar. i use a gun. i ride a harley. i get a crowd going withstanding ovation. never saw him do that. >> okay. but the democratic governors association is playing up the comments he made to the chicago sun times when asked if he was part of the 1% of wealthiest americas, he responded i'm probably .01%. you saw him in that one clip, less than 1% of the vote. >> just like four y

union? democrats don't like that opinion. and they immediately started a project.t my word, that's her word. they started a project to unravel citizens united because they are tired of outside groups going after democrats. bill: that's very interesting. who is next after lois lerner? >> we have been taking depositions that are calculated to get us evidence. we have been doing depositions. and that's my preferred way to do it. i think we are building a pretty good case and i think you will see that tomorrow or a week from tomorrow. bill: this was one of the exchanges of the many we have our hand on now between her attorney william taylor and some of the investigators on your committee. i can tell you we can probably move forward if the committee agrees her appearance at a deposition would satisfy any obligation she has to provide information in this investigation. for her to take the risk inherent in waiver of her amendment privilege she would need assurance she is resolving her issues with the committee. that is legalese. put that in english. >> that means we'll te

united which said that corporations and private groups like this, and unions, could financially participate in elections. the democratslutely crazy over this. they hate it because it basically leveled the playing field. it allowed a lot of conservative groups to join. like the tea party groups. that's what the irs investigations are all about. what harry reid is doing and what the irs thing was about is intimidatin intimidating. kochs won't be intimidated, but other donors might be if they think they will be singled out on the floor of the senate or criticized in this way, drive them off the playing field and allows the democrats at least a marginal advantage in some of these tight elections that kim was describing. >> kim, do you think this will work politically? >> you know, i don't. here is the thing. most americans don't know who the kochs are. and when you have these democratic candidates out talking about them, they're not really paying attention. especially this early in the midterm cycle. again, i think what harry reid is trying to do is push his own donors to match some of that koch money. and that actually m

now all of a sudden unions, who by the way, support democrats -- 91 or 92% of the money they spend goes to democrats. they're a little late to the party, no? >> they're self-interested by definiti definition. they're for collective bargaining. i say, go to the table and negotiate. some in nevada are being successful in that. so don't be lazy. go to the bargaining table and negotiate your terms and probably find success there. >> did kimberly and ebony touch on part of the problem? the unions are biting the hands that feed them. >> eric, do you want to know how much sympathy i have for these unions? zero. zip. these were the people who got obamacare passed. i'm sorry if there there's anyone in america who should be punished with obamacare, it's these guys. they're the ones who threw the money in support of it. >> quick round on this one. take a look first at the new health care law. only 38% of the people favor the health care law. now throw up the other screen. is this coincidental. president obama's approval rating at the exact same 38%. can we tag his legacy to obamacare. >> i think i

unions pushing back on obamacare. remember how much money they spent getting democrats in office to pass obamacare? orkers in vegas casinos are saying we don't want obamacare anymore. >> so earlier you're talking about this guy in california has a blackout. goes to vegas and loses a half million dollars. i can look at you guys for moral support. slight disagreement. legally, does he have a prayer? he laid money down. how is a casino supposed to know he's blacked out? >> unfortunately for him, what happens in vegas can go to courts they get to take him to the bank. they have great legal standing. however, he has merit to the case to try to settle it because the attorney is saying they know this man well and it was uncharacteristic for him to get this struck. they had a sense of responsibility to cut him off ch money is a lot. >> his best bet to try to settle it to see if they shave a little bit off. >> there is your -- nemesis. >> i'm going to take, i spent countless hours in casinos they hand you a cocktail ask keep handing you cocktails. they know when you get drunk you bet foolishly. when you walk

. >> i assume, james, this is also an attempt to drive democrats to the polls. i mean, unionsular are very upset with obamacare because it's raising the cost of their health care. >> right. >> they're asking the white house for relief. they haven't gotten it. this is a way i think to appeal to unions and say see we're trying to raise wages by dictate across the economy and that will help you. >> unions love this. because it gets more to the union idea that workers should be hourly wage earners, kind of in an adversarial relationship with management fighting over a finite pie of resources. of course, the great companies, the great enterprises get everyone to think like a team, think like owners, think about the growth of the business. that's why it's going to be really destructive within firms. >> the idea is trade more votes before november in return for probably fewer jobs. >> and slower growth. so yeah, it's a political win now for the president. and slow growth the last few years of his term i would guess. >> when we come back, weeks into the crisis in ukraine, the hand wri

democrat. the public employees union specifically spent $5 million to help elect jerry brown for years ago. they spend 4 million to collect the superintendent of public and sprint to public inspection. professional politician. democrats have two-thirds control of both houses of a legislature, state and senate and assembly. well, with all this control it means that republicans are essentially powerless to buy because when you have below the one-third threshold there are many, many -- there are much fewer things that the republican minority can do to help improve legislation. democrats are in total control. we understand that, absolutely total control. and two wheels understand that as a result of their policy the california state income tax is the highest in the nation. the california state sales taxes nuys in the nation. the gas tax is the highest in the nation. .. is considered poverty line. part of the reason is the cost of living in california because california is a desirable place to live. it's got great weather and we have got our cosand yosemite and all the cool things that young peop
