decided he was going to become a documentary film maker, makes a movie about flint, michigan and endhat happen in social list or communist country? >> that's a great point. moore seems to want everyone to work for the common sood and socialism is a society where property rights are abolished and seeing where the health care debate is a benefit for the public good. would moore be loving socialism if people came along and said, you know, you can't make movies about flint, michigan or about whatever want to make it, here are the movies we want you to make and that's essentially the elimination of private property that moore is advocating. and i tell you, clayton shall the guy who works, the man or woman who works and doesn't get to keep the benefits of their work, who doesn't actually get to keep the proceeds of their labor, that's simply, that's a slave and that's what moore is advocating in this latest film. >> yeah, there's many other points that he makes in here as well. jonathan hoenig, as always, great to see you. >> thank you. >> well, let's talk to ainsley for breaking news. >>

for all the stupid, grotesque things we did at hustler, the one thing larry flint enabled me to do waso wte critically of things like treatment of performers when they getting hiv. as an inside publication i was able to do that very effectively. ironically i learned a great deal about reporting. >> is there a porn subculture year? >> there is a massive foreign subculture, a huge industry. if i were writing about it today it would be more about the spread of the subculture into the mainstream, because through the internet, it has become a diffent world. >> whose theodore ortiz? >> the ultimate fighter who was the champion of the usc, the ultimate fighting championship franchise. i wrote about him, he was e great hope of the u.sc but what i like to focus on in the story is there is a common thread, everybody i write about has run away from something and they are attempting to reinvent themselves. i really focused on how he created this image of the ultimate fighter down to his hair color and display the chief. i am fascinated by people reinventing themselves. >> jn mccain referred to, wha

larry flint's hustler followed in 1974. and now there's an adult film that crosses over. "deep throat" shot in six days on a budget of about $25,000. >> well, there it is. you little bugger. there it is. >> what? >> narrator: deep throat is one of the most profitable films adult or mainstream from the 1970s. still, porn was scarce, and the stigma was unavoidable. to see or buy porn, you had to go out in public to an adult theater, a triple x bookstore, or a peep show. today thanks to technology, the peep show comes to you, which sums up porn's profit potential and pits biggest problem. >> we see it on the internet for free. you see it on tv. you see it on dvd. people are more comfortable with adult films now than ever before. as a result of that, these girls are really popular. >> narrator: whether viewers realize it or not, they see dozens of adult performers in mainstream movies and on tv, but in the newest generation of porn stars, there is an even bigger push beyond the triple-a line, an ambitious crossover attempt made possible by the proliferation of porn in society

in two decades of movie making, the pop ewe list -- the the popularrist from flint, michigan is here. this time he hopes to change the world. >> i've got more bags, 10 billion probably won't fit in here. i'm calling for an end to legalize greed. and that's what our system has become. >> spending just a few million dollars to buy congress, wall street was given billions. >> the motion is adopted. >> reporter: more complaints that the system has allowed the richest 1% of americans to accumulate more wealth than the other 99% of us combined. >> you've got to have some kind of a rebellion between the people that have nothing and the people that have it all. >> reporter: they told them that change has to start with the healthcare overhaul that includes a public option at minimum. and he had a warning for conservative democrats who compose it. >> we'll come to your district and we'll work against you. on the same day that they demanded a public option, they say that this film out there and the popular uprising. he's going to quit. and now, instead, that would be sweet victory for some of hi

instrument craftsman and early in the last century he spent a week at the home of william durant of flintmichigan. he escorted hi great grandfather to the train station. he wanted to offer my great grandfather $1,000 in stock in a new company he was going to start. he ran the durant dort carriage company but wanted to branch out into horseless carriages. my grandfather said gee, thanks, but i put my money into the world's safest investment polish national bonds. too bad mr. durant, it's going to be big. we need a national name. my great grandfather said why not national motors? can't mr. durant said, there already is a national motor company. well, my great grandfather said with a laugh, why not something more general, why not general motors? very good, mr. durant answered. oh, look, there's your train. on september 16th, 1908, mr. durant founded general motors. and that note, time for "countdown's" number two story. >>> tonight's "worst persons in the world." michelle bauchmann of minnesota. we just heard last week that the federal government now under the obama administration is calling

and you in addition, you have this structural unemployment in places like camden or flint.re people are never going to work permanent jobs. that's no kind of economy. you know? and we don't need a president that is simply going to pay attention to making sure that the stock market is going up, while the rest of us are going down. but i want to go back to one thing. i want to say about this arc. i sometimes get attacked, bill, for being a prophet of doom or something. but which i think is an unfair criticism. but i'm worried. i really am. i think that we really are at one of those critical moments, when that arc could move towards barbarism. not simply moving in a conservative direction. when i see people bringing ar- 15s to rallies with the president. when i see this insanity behind the birther movement. and questions about the president's citizenship. i realize that the strength of the irrationalist right is something that we have to contend with. and that these are people that could bring everything down in ways that could be quite catastrophic. so, i put it more in a dif

instead of spending american blood and treasure trying to turn afghan flint stones into jetsons, let'sk to focusing on killing america's enemies. now, to do that, we could use a smaller lethal force, ball gram air field. build around other specialized forces. air power, concentrate on the mission. lawyer remarks we forget why we went to afghanistan. think of it as in 2001, 9/11, afghanistan is a terrorist motel. well, we went there and cleaned out the motel. killed some the terrorists. some got away. what should would he be doing now? chasing the terrorists. instead, we're renovating the motel. it just doesn't make sense. laura: the problem is holding the territory, right? once we go, in we clean out a village, they hang back and just in in after relieve. that's the problem with having the number of troops that we have. i have seen estimates we would need 300,000 troops on the ground in afghanistan to do the job as it needs to be done. we will not be sending any 300,000 troops. i want to get to mccrystal. >> i don't think that's the way it has to be done. laura: let's go to general mcc

thanks so much, pete flint. >> we have been looking at uncommon economic indicators.eason we're looking at this today, forbes.com has an article about that. we'll talk to the author of the article about ten uncommon, clever economic indicators that we don't often think about. they don't show up in the data coming from government on the economy. and we've been asking you folks for your personal observations looking out the window, as steve liesman put it a little while ago. here is an interesting one. here are two on the same subject, and they draw the opposite conclusion. powell noticed the rate of growth of the power ball jackpot grows rapidly during good economic times and slows dramatically during the meltdown of the economy. it now seems to be back growing at a more rapid rate in the last three or four months. >> i thought it would be the opposite. >> here is raj. he agrees with you, sue. he says he noticed there are longer lines and more people buying lottery tickets during bad economic times and it drops when the economy recovers. >> i vote forage. >> what do yo

because you win political contests with wall street money more than you win money from auto workers in flinte and freddie mac, and establishing and maintaining it. >> now we find out from the "new york times" we are paying some of those official's legal fees. >> we are cupping up on the september 15th anniversary of lehman brothers collapsing, and i asked you last time and was surprised by your answer, and i asked you last time if hank paulson was right, that if we did not give all of the bailout money and write the $700 billion check would the economy collapse, and were they right? did they have to do that? >> i think the way i see this, we had to do something and make it clear that the american government and the american people were not going to let the entire economy emplode. and was the necessary response in order to save the economy? did we have to do something? yes. did we have to do what we did? i am far less persuaded. >> what do citizens need to learn in the next step, the top forms of the financial sector, what should we push our congress for? >> well, i am glad to see that questi

host: here is the front page of "roll call"newsp newspaper -- flint, michigan. joe is a republican. caller: i think most of the people who do not support the public option 10 to stem from the federal government -- tend to stem from the federal government. it seems like they cannot control things. i know our county has something like a public option where you can get health insurance through the county if you cannot afford it. that appears to work. everyone likes that. that is pretty much it. host: did you say you are on that plan, too? caller: to be honest, i was on not one, and it was even better than the one i have now with my job. my premiums went up. my employer health insurance. everything was much cheaper before. it was really good. host: thank you. bonita springs, florida. denise on the democratic line. caller: i wanted to reference the gentleman who called about the military. we are on tricare and the deductible is minimal. i have been working for the obama plan and i think it is necessary. there are so many people who have lost their job. these are people who want to work b

was an article in our newspaper yesterday that we don't even have enough money to pay pave roads in flint our surrounding towns. everything e is going to be, instead of being paved, everything is going to be graveled. the shops are really gone in michigan. my husband is a retired g.m. worker. they cut out the vision and the dental, and things are really bad in michigan. and it seems like no one is paying attention. i think it's absolutely ridiculous that nafta was ever passed in the first place. g.m. was working. when we came to michigan in 19 ah, it was a booming, booming town with all the automobile plants working. everybody was working, everybody had a good job. they had good houses. and now, it is about down to nothing. host: do those workers have a chance for some type of job retraining? caller: some of them does. yes. but the point is the automobile factory is gone in michigan. so to speak. there are hundreds, thousands of retirees that have lost their dental, their vision. and it's just absolutely ridiculous. host: west palm beach florida on our republican line. we hear from matt.

host: alex on the independent line from flint, michigan. caller: i'm an admirer of the kennedys and i remember exactly where i was when kennedy was killed, junior high school. what i would like to know is, i know you are getting ready to wrap the program of, but can you tell us briefly -- i know it is probably a long story -- how they got the money and the power that they have in that family, just briefly? the money and the power? guest: that is a long story. actually i would recommend you read doris kerns goodwin, "of gerald and the kennedys. but i cannot going to hear but there has been a lot written about it. host: victor on the democrats' line. caller: good morning. you would a really nice book and i am so glad you are able to talk to him about it. but the one thing -- in his biography of when they were talking about it, where his power came from. i believe in the beginning of that program he asked as father when he was little, when he was in london, a bullet confronted him and he asked his father as the son of the ambassador, can i go

gm at the flint, mich., a strike caved. u.s. steel saw the writing on the wall. they caved. lots of companies caved because it was clear the government was on the side of unions. in 1946, the government passed the taft-hartley act. the kind of the clear that they were neutral in this whole thing between unions and employers. it's kind of plateaued. membership started to decline. there were lots of reasons for that. there were demographic changes. there were more women in the workforce. there were more service sector jobs. when reagan came in and did the patco strike, that was a cultural signal that unions were not big. by then, union membership had been declining substantially. you cannot see a break at that point in the amount of union decline. it does set the tone out there when people are discussing unions about the political leadership is talking about it. host: let's here from detroit on the republican line. caller: i am a third generation uaw worker. we have 96 years between us. i do not like your book. i like the union. it has protected us from environmental troubles
