but when the government, after goodyear's lawyer had 20 minutes, then the government's lawyer took goodyear aside and said we can't let this happen there will be cases coming out of the woodwork and it will be very hard on the corporation. well, we waited until may 2007 when the verdict came out. they came back 5-4, and justice alito wrote that i should have filed a charge the first paycheck i got. even though i couldn't know it and didn't prove it, i should've filed at them. what this would mean is that if you get a new job, you have six months to file charges. it is said that people shouldn't be walking around trying to figure out if you should file a charge. at goodyear, i didn't even know where the restrooms were in six months. that's just not normal. that's not the way it's supposed to be. justice ruth bader ginsberg hit the nail on the head when she said these people don't understand what it's like in the real world, and she challenged congress. she said the ball is in your court. you can take it up and you can correct this injustice and change the law back. and she was exactly right.

but when the government, after goodyear's, had 20 minutes in the governmental lawyer took goodyear's site and he said we can't let this case go forward. they are coming out of the woodwork to file and it would be such a hardship on the corporations. well, we waited until may of 07 when the verdict came out. they came back with 5-4 and justice alito read the opinion. he said, i should have filed my charge the first discriminatory paycheck i got even though i did not know it. even though i couldn't prove it but i should have filed it then. what this would mean in normal everyday life is, if you get a new job you have got six months to file a charge because that is when the pay is set. it is set in the beginning. i don't think people on a new job will be walking around trying to figure out, should i be filing a charge? you are trying to learn the job. i goodyear i never learned where the restrooms were until six months. it was such a big operation. i mean, that is just not normal. that is not the way it is supposed to be. justice ruth bader ginsburg hit the nail on the head when she sai

i do not buy goodyear tires. i do not. [laughter] then i get rid of them immediately. >> it is interesting to point* out over a decade fighting the battle getting to court the number of legal documents if you stacked them up would be three stories high. it is hard to understand how much and effort to and energy heartbreak 10 asarco that takes. >> i could not let it go. the law was on my side. and with the supreme court with the next ridiculous case that came before them was the lady who filed the charge on equal form should not have been let go but bush said it is okay latigo. that is my opinion. it was a long fight to. it is hard and individuals and their families. we could not leave home on a vacation without devising the attorney where we were and how we could be reached. it took nine years and actually 18 months. >> why did you tell him eight? >> you don't see any cases that are quick. they dragged them out. the equal employment commission and has more money. i do a lot of work for them. they are training cities and co

a little while ago, i spoke to 11-time indy 500 qualifier scott goodyear who is covering the race forspn. scott, it's going to be 97 degrees according to the forecast tomorrow. it gets really hot inside the cockpit on a good day. what is the impact on the drivers when it's 97? >> very difficult on the drivers inside the car and also the crew members working on the car along pit lane. but most importantly for these drivers, it's probably going to be about 130 degrees inside the cockpit. now, they do have a hydration system that they use but i will tell you from experience that after you run about 20 or 30 laps around here, that cold water that you took on board becomes very warm very quickly. >> what about the pit crews? they're wearing these uniforms, these suits, that are pretty well insulated. how is it for them when it's 97? >> well, dan, they're wearing the same type of suits that the drivers are wearing so they've got a three-layer suit. so when they go over the wall, they do have the fire protection just like the drivers do. sometimes, from my vantage point, when i was driving,

. >> after 19 years of working for goodyear tire and rubber, someone gave me anon muss tip on a notewing my pay versus the three white males that had the exact same job, and the difference in my pay and each one of theirs was more than 40% less than theirs. i was 40% less than what they were earning. that not only faekted my take-home pay then, but it does today. that the short changed me quite a great deal, and my family suffered not because i didn't work, not because i didn't have a good job but simply because the company i worked for chose not to follow the federal laws. >> and you then took this case to court and won compensation for the lost salaries and damages beyond that, but the circuit court of appeals overturned it for the most technical of legal reasonables, which is the statute of limitations which is the time frame within which you filed your suit. that's what president obama addressed in the act that was passed in your name opening up that statute of limitations to a reasonable amount of time. if you had that statute of limitations in place when you went after this, yo

that if i'm lonely between now and election day all i have to do is move to akron, get a job in a goodyear factory, and tweet, you know, i'm a white male and i'm a factory worker here in akron and i just don't know for whom to vote. and if i just did that i'd have friends until election day. then they would all turn their backs on me and that would be the end of it. so i'd like to start off by asking what we were just discussing in the green room, actually, which is here we saw this big inflection point 60 years ago. the world changed with television. your world. the world in which you live and have to predict the unpredictable and deal with the unfair so many times. is the world going to change with the realization we now have facebook, we now have twitter, we now have social media? and if so how is the world going to change? what is different and what's going to be different? so let's -- chris, let me ask you to start, and then we'll just go. >> first of all, thanks for having us. especially with this very august panel. and john, thank you for the introduction. i will say that, you know,

the air ship, one of the new goodyear blimps that had proven so useful and the world war was undergoing test flights for the city's arizona. the first two fights had gone off without incident, but on his last excursion of the day as it carried five passengers and crew on an exhibition flight of chicago's downtown loop it explicit to vote inexplicably got fired. thousands of witnesses looked up in shock as the air ship began to collapse in on itself and fall from the sky. that is my one special affect there in the presentation. as it happens, this was directly above the illinois savings bank, one of the premier financial as stations in the city. as luck would have it, the beautiful interior courtyard was protected by nothing more than this huge skylight. the crippled airship crashed right through the skylight and into the courtyard below. class, debris, and wreckage rained down. the fuel tank ignited to engulfed the building an incinerator many employees in sight. police and fire brigade battle to contain the resulting firestorm, there was only so much that they could do. now this is the

seen them in the sky blips usually hovering high above advertising something at sporting events goodyear used mass uses that method to capture your attention but what happens when blimp merges with the drone air force spy balloons have been used overseas in iraq and afghanistan they're able to hover twenty thousand feet for up to a week at a time and they can come with all kinds of nifty little devices like cameras radars even missiles but with cutbacks in defense spending and the winding down of the wars companies are looking to bring these super blends to the u.s. so could this potentially be a new gadget for companies and local police forces here at home and could they soon be hovering over a backyard near you literally or spoke to marcy wheeler author and blogger mc we'll done that and ask just what are these blimps capable of. well there are big slim they are capable i mean i think one of the big concerns about them is they're capable of staying up in the air for five days at a time probably for less money to run than the drones that police station police stations around the country

she was a manager in a goodyear tire plant. she did the exact work as her male colleague.er she was being discriminated against. we have case after case after case. we need to make sure that the whistle blowers who speak out about this are protected. that's what this new law will do among other things. i think they may go along with us. there is a war on women. if they, even this student loan situation where we're trying to get the interest rates reduced. how does boehner pay for it? he cuts women's preventive health. it's unbelievable. >> you serve on foreign relations and there's been quite a discussion as of late. i want your reaction to the criticism that the republican attacks that they're putting on president obama on national security. >> listen. president obama made the key decision to go after the man who was the master mind of 9/11. i was there and i voted to go after him. i voted no to go into iraq. i voted yes to go after bin laden. let me just say, if george bush had done that, he would have put on that aviator suit, he would have put up six banners and he wou

aware of the representation by the air force that they could not have spent this money and this goodyear 13. i think the chairman shares my view that we sometimes can't spend money because they don't want to spend the money and they are not given the priority patient. frankly, the gentleman he said, runtimes makes the argument that statements from the command needs to be critically examined. i think that the mere fact that the air force says they don't have use for this money is not the spawn of issue. >> that is why i was commending your description of the need, although we do have the funds at this time. you certainly did describe the increase of the role and the need that would be here. my primary objection, as you know, is the fact that with the rising threat of north korea and iran, our are defense system that you propose cutting is her only defense to emerging ibms. in the committee's concern about the president's secret deal with the russians -- the. >> we are not going to rehash this. just for the record. i would disagree with the characterization that this is our only means of m

in a few years auto sales in china are going to be about 200 million a year and in this country a goodyear million vehicles a year. so that thirst for china and india will be the for oil and they are looking for long term contracts for oil just like they did down in brazil. the early part of the obama administration, we in the u.s. have provided about $3 billion to develop some of their offshore oil. all of that oil as i understand it now is going to china. it's not coming here. so the chinese are very good, very adept at trying the lock up these long term contracts just like they are trying to do in canada if we say no it's going to china, we're going to get none of it back. >> i think the other question i have, isn't the issue -- i think the issue has been framed about the jobs created directly from the pipeline but what about tissue of energy independence and the ability to have lower energy to actually more broadly help improve the economy and put us on a competitive landscape of manufacturing back in the united states by having lower energy costs. i think the focus on this 20,000 jobs
