keith ellison yesterday called for a cease-fire. and congressman keith ellison joins me now.ressman, you wrote that we need to end the blockade in gaza. explain what your argument here is. >> well, the blockade is what gives rise to these tunnels. because there is not freedom of movement or people inside and outside of gaza. the tunnels are how much of the goods and movement takes place, but if there was -- if the checkpoints were open, at the crossing or other crossings, then you could have goods come and go, people come and go. and you would be able to have some level of control and security. but anything and everything could come through the tunnels. i think the blockade is a real problem. also, you know, gazans cannot use their port because they're movement into the mediterranean is tightly restricted. it's important for people to know that when people are in gaza, you cannot go anywhere, you cannot leave gaza under only a certain restrictive circumstances, people cannot flee, that's why you don't see a bunch of refugees pouring out of gaza, because they cannot go. that's

do you believe congressman ellison is on the right track? >> this is ridiculous.rom tranquil. our southern border is being overrun, and the democrats in congress want to make unionizing a civil right and gut our right it work laws? it's absolutely ridiculous. it will trash our economy. >> it's already illegal to fire workers if they say they want to unionize. the facts tell a different story. if you look what happened in michigan when they became a right to work state, they went up 21 places in the american economics institute ranging of business friendly areas, also the highest salaries, nonunion workers. >> that's spot on. study after study shows right to work states like my home state of virginia have lower unemployment, more manufacturing jobs. this is something that the left really would love to do. they would love to make unionizing mandatory everywhere you go, bake it into our civil liberties instead of protecting the ones that are being trampled on by the obama administration. this all happened at net roots nation where all the progressives get together. t

whether we seize the moment keith ellison the congressman from minnesota likes to say the fruit on the tree is ripe in. and it's about time for us to pick it in terms of progressive populism and i think that's exactly right bill clinton went toward a corporate agenda for two reasons one was there there was no left there was no organized left it was a bunch of single interest. single issue in interest groups and there was no coherency around it and he felt no pressure on the left and the other reason is the corporate contributions the big money that flowed in so if we can if we can create a left and if we can do something about money we're going to we've got a shot mike thanks so much for being with us great to have you with us. mark. writes green report we go to new york as their state of pills now says that towns have the right to ban fracking i'm assuming that the court of appeals last week that court upheld a ruling from the lower court said that towns can block natural gas drilling even when the state law allows fracking air towns of middlefield and dryden where the subject of this

ellison who was one of the originators, if not the originator of the idea to have an ad hoc hearing at this time, and thank you. and ms. yvette clark will be here with us, jan schakowsky and mr.-- [inaudible] those were the people that signed the letter to put this together and invited other members. we have other members that are here as well today, and they will have an opportunity to introduce themselves as we go forward. but today given everything that's going on with the refugee issue with the children in this country, the machinations that congress is going through trying to put together a package, we just saw, we just heard about the latest example from our republican colleagues as to what their package is here in the house. the senate has a package. we felt it was kind of important not to be dealing with the subject in a detached way. the congress and washington, d.c. get a direct look and a probe found listening, i hope, of the young people that are with us here today. and their families that are also with us. also from a panel of experts on addressing this humanitarian crisis

joining us on the phone is author sarah ellison, who has written about rupert's takeover of "the wallurnal" in her best-selling book "war." the dow jones takeover was something rupert murdoch boards for years on. could he use some of that as a playbook to get time warner here? the structure at of time warner and the emotion that is around time warner, it is at a much lower level of emotional attachment that the people who are running this company than those who were running dow jones and the wall street journal. in some ways it is easier, even though it is a much bigger deal, it is easier to make. the notion that they rejected the bid, and a company would do that, no one takes the first offer. bring pressure here. >> in part of their statement this morning, i am talking about 21st century fox, they said we would be willing to pay more than 85 dollars a share. that signals to you that they are willing to go back again? the first step, just the opening gambit. the fact that it was in "the new york times means it is game on for public pressure and lobbying. we have seen him make audaciou

stuart: last word to you, ellison. >> mary said it well. there are a lot of from lausanne no one likes to hear fraud is happening, this is a preliminary report so they have us put out a lot of details i would imagine the republicans on the ways and means subcommittee are not going to be happy with the fact they say they won't have the information into next year and i expect to see some push for more details sooner rather than see what states have the most instances in fraud. stuart: i am sick and tired of having my tax money messed around with by fraudulent government. it really gets to me and it gets to our viewers too. thank you very much for being with us. much appreciated. to the stock market, pretty much dead flat. the market is just oil lower. 17,106, the all-time closing high is just 32 points away. the s&p 500 is up four points, closing in again on the 2,000 level. gold up $0.50, virtually no change. the yield on a ten year treasury, we bring in every day at this time going down again. what does that mean about the flight to safety

ellison. >> good morning, ma'am. good to see you again. the situation of wage increases, and the implication that they could be a driver of inflation. could you speak on the relation between increase in wages with productivity? >> it's true, and often, instead of looking at just wages, we would look at unit labor costs. which compounds together both productivity or output per hour and wage or compensation costs. and that's a broader measure, taking account of productivity. how is the cost changing over time of what firms need to pay to produce a certain amount of output. productivity is a key factor in not only wages. over the last several years, we've seen real wages, wages in real terms are not growing as fast as productivity. >> thank you for makiing that point. you anticipated my question. we have room for wage increases given our rate of productivity in this economy. and i would argue that wages are depressed and sometimes you need government to intervene in order to catch up. because there's no equality of bargaining power given the
