you could not entertain ladies unless there was a hostess. so there was a real need to have a woman in the white house to perform that function. because so much even now, so much of washington life is carried on not on the floor of the house, not on the floor of the senate, not in official places, but at parties. in formal gatherings where you can talk in a calmer, more casual manner. all the women of washington really were responsible for keeping those networks open and that life happening. >> so is that sort of the point of showing the dress, that there is much more meaning behind the dress? >> there is more meaning behind the dress. one we show it because it's beautiful and people love them. but it does say something about the woman there is a real question. why do we care? why are we interested in what the first lady wears, other than if you're just a fan of fashion, why do we care what the first lady wears? but we look to her clothing for clues about what she is like as a person, about what the administration may be like, both in its sty

most egregious examples of just the general insanity that has gripped america is what happened at hostess i mean you guys were involved in this tell me but tell me the story what really is outrageous we going to negotiations with hostess a company that's been in bankruptcy for the second time in little more than three years and so as you keep in mind that the our members their employees have given up over seventy million dollars in concessions back in two thousand and eight and the company agreed that the any concession given by the units other unions or gave up concessions as well any concession would be matched by every employee in the company including the management team so last week we learned that just this past july just on the eve of them filing for yet another bankruptcy this company gave their top executives some. eighty percent raises in the case of the c.e.o. is over two hundred forty percent increases so we're talking about is razor we're not talking about going to twelve grab the money and run it's they've looted the company it's outrageous is as the employees are giving bac

we'll tell you what could threaten the future of hostess brands.: 1939 -- my parents ran across an ad for a hot dog cart. my mother said, "well, maybe we ought to buy this hot dog cart and set it up someplace." so my parents went to bank of america. they met with the branch manager and they said, "look, we've got this little hot dog cart, and it's on a really good corner. let's see if we can buy the property." and the branch manager said, "all right, i will take a chance with the two of you." and we've been loyal to bank of america for the last 71 years.

didn't hostess declare bankruptcy?ll, actually, they're in chapter 22 which means that they filed bankruptcy twice now. they filed bankruptcy -- they filed the second time only three years after exiting bankruptcy in 2009. and what we have actually been trying to do is to reach an agreement to allow this company to be able to come out of bankruptcy and be a profitable and on-going company. it has been incredibly frustrating because our members -- despite what the company has put out and media reports, our members have taken over $70 million per year pay cuts and that's been going on since 2008. other unions like the bakery worker's union took similar cuts so this company has enjoyed about $140 million in concessions from their workers. since 2008. and what they have done with that is essentially squandered that money. they have invested no money in research and development. they've invested no money -- or little to no money in capital expenditures and perhaps more importantly, they have invested no money in looking at
