i hope this debate coming up will lift up the -- my friends in united farmworkers union started a project -- i am filibustering but i am worked up about this. they started a program -- they were tired of hearing these immigrants are taking our jobs so a couple farmworker union members said in spanish at one of their meetings why don't we invite any american who wants to take our job to come take it and we will train them. they started a campaign called take our jobs. they had thousands of inquiries, so it got wide play. all the people who contacted them, seven native-born workers are doing those jobs. this is tough work and skilled work. i'm not saying americans can't do it but they don't want to. not so much a status thing as a paid thing. it is $16 an hour. living conditions are tough. we just have to get realistic about the reality. we can drive agriculture out of business and out of the country but i don't know that is such -- if that is in our economic self-interest or security interest. >> there was a member of congress that used to work different job, maybe that program could be ex

it was the million or so black farm workers who were members of the farmers, the farmworkers union and which supported the opposition, the mdc. and it was a big million vote block that mugabe need to break up extreme to break up the commercial farming structure, which he did very successfully. >> i think you're raising an important point that there are these stories of change, although we've had the same there in zimbabwe for 30 years. there's certainly been changes within society. your book i think is an amazing job in presenting to us the view from the ground up, after the 2008 election and really what people were experiencing. i frankly was quite struck not only by the level of fear that people have but also the brutality that people had experience. i wonder if you want to talk a little bit about some of the people that you met and spoke with. and the treatment that they received just for possibly being in the opposition party. without even evidence of being opposition party, many people refuse. can you talk about that? >> guest: it was a very, very extreme. i've been a foreign corr

he co-founded the united farmworkers union in the 1960s after his career in the navy. he joined the navy in 1946. served two years before being honorably discharged. supporters say he deserves the honor because of his lifelong fight for farmworkers. however critics say naming a navy ship after him is a political move and that's unfair to military war heros. >>> a deadly horse virus has many bay area horse owners taking steps to protect their animals. now so far at least 17 horses in five western states including california have been infected with the highly contagious virus. at least three horses have died. now the owner of a stable in pacifica says she's decided not to allow any new horses in for the next 30 days. >> they're our friends and our pets. we take good care of them. some of them born here. they're also our livelihood. we're concerned about our customers and their animals and the potential for death. >> now the outbreak of the virus has been traced to a horse show in utah earlier this month. it's not a threat to people, but it is easily spread among horses.

so a couple of farmworker union members said in spanish, at one of their meetings why don't we invitecan who wants to come take our job to come take it, and we'll train them. and they started a campaign called take our jobs. they had thousands and thousands of inquiries of people -- the website, they promoted it. steven colbert promoted it. they got wide play. all the people who contacted them, seven native-born workers are now doing those jobs. this is tough work. and it's skilled work. and i'm not saying that americans can't do it. they mostly don't want to do that. it's as much a status thing as a pay thing. pay is $12 to $16 an hour. the living conditions are tough. but my point is, is that we just have to get realistic about the reality. now, we can say, fine, we'll just drive agriculture out of business and out of the country. but i don't know that that's really such a smart -- that is in our economic self-interest or in our security interest. >> thank you. sorry. >> i know there used to be -- i know there was a member of congress that used to go and work a different job in his

real target is not the 10,000 white farmers farmers, but the 1 billion black farmworkers who were up from the farm workers union which supported the opposition and was a big 1 million votes lock that he had to break up which was the commercial farming structure which he did successfully. >> host: there are the stories of change although we had the same leader in zimbabwe over 30 years there changes of society your book does an amazing job presenting to us the view from the ground after the 2008 election. i think we were struck not only by the level of the year that people have experienced. can you talk about some of the people you met and spoke with that possibly for being in the opposition party. not even evidence, not many people were abused. >> guest: it is very, very extreme. i have been a war correspondent for decades. it must be premeditated-- premeditated but what was shocking with the democratic activist but what essentially happened is mugabe and his people end then with the chairmen and chairwomen and then to burn down their houses and pulling them into the newly formed torture bases which ironically

so much the 10,000 or so white farmers, it was the million or so black farmworkers who were the members of the farm workers union which supported the opposition and was a big million note that he needed to break up the commercial farmer to farming structure which he did. >> i think that you read the important point that there are these stories of change also we've had the leader in zimbabwe for 30 years there's certainly been changes within the society. your book i think does an amazing job and presenting to us the view from the ground after the 2008 election and what people were experiencing and i was quite stroke not only by the level of fear people had also the brutality people had experienced and i wonder if you want to talk a little bit about some of the people you met and spoke with and the treatment they received just for possibly being in the opposition party without even evidence of being the opposition party can you talk about that? >> guest: it was very extreme. i've been a foreign correspondent for decades and i've never seen anything quite this premeditated. they were not a threat to anybody, they w
