goldstein if i could. i have been working on these issues, i'm not from any of the states of the particular witnesses but certainly i join my colleagues in the importance of trying to address the questions dealing with farm workers and in addition i have seen the plight of many of the farming community, large farming communities as relates during these harsh times the loss of product, if you will, in the field. and i consider america -- one america to be the bread basket of this world and want to ensure that not only are the people who are in heed here in this country eat and eat at prices that they can afford, but that we are able to serve those around the world. i'm frustrated, however, because we are having this hearing and many of you may have heard me over and over talk about comprehensive immigration reform which would entail of course, even though we have looked at the farm bill, it would talk about the whole approach. when we talk about individual visas, you can imagine in this time of unemployment

goldstein. >> mr. chairman and members, thank you for the opportunity to testify about agriculture guest worker programs. our agriculture labor system is unsustainable and unfair to farm workers and their families. this nation's immigration system is broken. our labor laws are discriminating against farm workers and many practices of the employers are deficient. the resulting turnover in the farm labor force means in that more than one-half of the 2 million seasonal farm workers lack authorized immigration status. the presence of undocumented workers depresses wages for all workers. including the roughly 700,000 u.s. citizens and lawful immigrants in agriculture. undocume to help agriculture thrive, we need a program that allows undocumented workers to earn legal immigration status. some members of congress have proposed new agriculture guest worker programs, but it makes no sense to bring in hundreds of thousands of new guest workers when there are over 1 million undocumented farm workers in addition

i'll retitle this segment though, a goldstein answers america.o guy about the current state of the political ads. i want to say one thing, this current campaign is half over and yet we may not get a better epithate then newtitics is a na vicious and horrible business. he said that when five of ten ads in iowa were negative. many aimed at him, that late december to bring us up to speed at how i looks now, tom goldstein, used to be at the university of wisconsin and director of thei said, knows more about the data and the ads in the race than anyone els on up, tom. >>. [ applause ] >> so tom you have to settle forenn,ot th wrong, no big deal. start by shg a number of ads that are currently aired in the republican presidential primary and then what i want doout whatg on currently but put into context what the use and effect of negative ads are. let's start by looking at the ads. >> it's the story of a lost city. lost opportunity. lost hope. a story of failed policies, failed leadership. the story of smoothd talking politicians, insider deals, and ga

goldstein, what are the problems we should be looking at in the visa program? >> well, thank you -- >> thank you, gentlemen. >> the problems were actually discussed in the 1908 report by teddy roosevelt and reported in the commission on migratory labor which said the same thing that the 1909 report said. and the same thing as the commission on agricultural workers said in 1992. we need to modernize labor practice, improve wages to attract and retain the farm workers. stop relying on the desperation abroad to bring in vulnerable workers on restricted nonimmigrant visas. we need to end the discrimination against farm workers. they don't get overtime pay. we need to do to things to stabilize the work force and treat them as human beings and we need immigration reform because more than half the farm workers are undocumented. we should give them the same opportunity that this nation of immigrants has given to other people. to become immigrants, leading to citizenship so they have bargaining power and they earn the right to become citizens who can actually vote and h

. -- goldstein. i think that is my greatest accomplishment in my time here. i hope that the parties and especially the parties who are not represented, the neighbors and the people who maybe could not afford to hire an attorney or expensive experts, i hope that those people have felt heard and respected and understand and see how much this commission values due process and fairness. i also want to say in that since we do here quite a lot of land use cases, it is the vast majority of the cases we year, that i have so much respect for the people who practice in that field and. that is the construction and design of our built in varmint. -- our built environment. i live in a house was built in 1900. when you look at the 100-year- old beams that one of my house, i think of the people who actually put them in place and hammered the old nails into the walls. those people are long dead, but this house is still standing. hopefully it will still be span -- still be standing long after i am dead. those of us to push paper around, we cannot say that about our work. i'm

host: let's get a response from ken goldstein.uest: i have my right to a point of view, the viewer has his right to a point of view, and we can debate about that. host: can you give an example of an ad that was negative but essentially true? guest: almost every single one of them. let's look at another aspect of negative adds. they're actually checkable. if i am airing a negative and about you, which is you walking on the beach with a dog and you're a nice person and you will solve all of america's problems -- we can all get behind that, but how are we going to check that? there is absolutely no way for us to check that. now let's talk about particular votes you have done, particular things you have said. that can be checked. maybe it is accurate, maybe it is not accurate. but people can verify it and the press can verify it. what we're seeing more and more now, no matter how ads are targeted, whether microtargeting, pistol shot or rifle shot or the more broad shotgun, it is using politicians speaking in their own words. can thing

adopted was an idea called the international standard which was invented by one of our staff, morris goldstein. the idea was then picked up and heavily promoted with the emerging markets by the u.s. government, by the international monetary fund and by all right thinking people who wanted greater global financial stability. we viewed it as adopting our ideas and implications is our systems were fine and should be the model. whether or not our systems were fine back then, our systems eroded and failed to keep up with the technology in the industry, regulatory zeal dropped sharply and we were exceptional. the west with its more sophisticated financial systems developed and promoted those ideas -- >> we turned our backs on them. the question i'm ask, would we be smart to look at those and adopt those? >> certainly look at it carefully. and simon rightly mentioned there are some other high-income countries, including european countries, which have actually done this quite well and sweden and finland are two cases in point where they had incredibly deeply financial crisis in the early 1990s, put th

warren goldstein at the university of hartford where he discusses martin luther king jr.'s time spent in birmingham, alabama andnil 1963. this is about an hour and a half. >>> good afternoon, everybody. nice to be here with you. as you can see, this is not the way we ordinarily do class. we don't always have a film crew from cspan-3 here. we are lucky to have them here today. and, because of the lights, it's going to be a little warm in here. so dave has very kindly gotten us each a bottle of water. thank you so much, dave. and caitlin, thank you all. all right. there you go, marris. all right. so, as i said before, what we were going to do today is concentrate on the year 1963. but more specifically, on the birmingham struggle in the civil rights movement and in the life of martin luther king. and, at the center of that, is not only what happened in birmingham itself, but the letter from birmingham jail, one of the most important documents not only in modern african american history, but also in modern american history as a statement of political and religious philosophy.

caitlin cline in alexis goldstein are my new heroes told us they were great guests that night and there are heroes too we can't say enough how much we're very impressed with the work that they're doing and we're glad that our guests in our audience agree as syntax said on you tube if it weren't for this show i wouldn't even know about the volcker issue it would be all discussed by some three hundred people who may or may not be in the pockets of corporations which you can assure we are not and we're trying to get you the objective real story as we see it on this show now duck vision one nine hundred seventy four brought up greece because we've been talking this week about why a default would mean an exit from the euro zone and how greece could default without sitting we brought also. down the leaked document that shows how rosy the assumptions are about greece and duck vision said this is about two roads you have a credit default and a trigger of the c.d.s. market or killed the bond market because of subordination of the euro bonds of course this deal would never work for greece but tha

goldstein, don't you think the adverse effective wage rate incentivizes those that don't want to participate in the program to hire those that are illegal? >> we think it's too low. it is based on the usda survey of agricultural employers wages. it includes wage rates paid to undocumented workers and because undocumented workers are willing to work for less than u.s. citizens and legal immigrants, that survey is resulting in depressed wage rates. in addition -- >> yet my harvesters back home can't compete because there are too many being hired illegally at less than the average effective wage rate. >> we liked to legalize the undocumented work force and have greater enforcement of farm workers rights. you know, you just heard the gentleman, mr. wenger, was saying that some of the workers are making $30 an hour. i've been talking to some growers who say, you know, our workers make an average of $10 an hour, but can't we find a way to work together on the solution, maybe pay them 15 bucks an hour plus some health insurance? >> yet you don't have the flexibility. commissioner black? >> when we

goldstein's approach was wrong. there is no such thing as a casual reference to an american company on a call like that when we --. >> bill: have you been unfairly audited by the irs? >> we get audited every year. i can't say we have been unfairly audited but a white house official accused the company of not paying their taxes appropriately on the feen phone call with this reporter. >> bill: under the clinton administration i was audited three years in wreo. i was targeted. i was targeted by the irs because of political reasons. we had to tell them that if it continued there was going to be trouble, big trouble. now, the thing that i have seen against the koch brothers is a number of left publications attacking them. that is done in coordination. the attacks come with could have ch industries dealing with iran, they did the little g.e. get around to deal with iran when they shouldn't. you say? >> i said they did business with iran very minimal amount. they decided voluntarily to cease years ago. i think it was about
