in defense of illinois brick and all those illinois brick cases we have discussed, you had both so you do not have to separate the two but here you don't because it is not a vertical supply chain but still a pass-through mechanism so does illinois brick apply to that? so i think what justice breyer was suggesting that it isn't that vertical supply chain with a person is not buying from that monopolistic but here they are transacting and that is what separates the case from illinois brick to make an entirely different notwithstanding that there is another mechanism involved. >> i completely agree with you the key is deciding what illinois brick was about. was a formal case about vertical change on - - chains or pass-through? i would begin first of all, with hanover shoe that is a passover defense and the difficulties and the potential complication of antitrust litigation and the framing of the question of illinois brick by this court which says having already found we will not allow a path on defense now confronted with the question to pass on offensively it was 100 percent about the ve

i don't see anything in illinois brick that conflicts with that. >> everything in illinois brick and flicks with that. the emphasis in all three of on passrt's decisions on defenses and damages theories, that is what the doctrine disallows. >> it says that if -- i don't mean to interrupt you, but i don't want you to miss the point i'm making. bill, whoth buys from bought from the monopolist, then we have something in direct. but, if joe smith bought from the monopolist, it is direct. that is a simple theory. now, i can't find in reason or case law, or in anything i've ever learned in any trust, anything that would conflict with that. what i want you to do is to tell me what. >> what conflict with that, in this case, is that the alleged monopolization, over the ,istribution function manifests in 30% commission. there was an effort in the district court apple added that, but that was abandoned. what we have here, instead, is a damage theory that runs through the independent pricing decisions of the app developers. >> does your answer to the justice depend on what you said, that the all

remove chicago from illinois make it a separate state. representative halbrook he joins us tonight to explain his idea. thanks very much for coming on. >> thanks for having me, tucker. i appreciate it. >> tucker: separate soso chicago would be one state and what they call downstate illinois would be a separate state? is that the idea? >> right.io so basically the resolution calls for congress to separate or make chicago the 51st state. really the movement is to find what counties that are interested in forming a new illinois. hopefully 101 of those counties would become the new illinois. >> tucker: i mean, part of the reason, the impetus for this has got to be financial. nobody wants to be saddled with the unresolvable debt that chicago has. the really unre1068able debt problems that chicago has. i assume that's part of, this right? >> well, part of, yeah. you know, chicago is drowning in debt. they are drowning in unfunded pension liabilities.

as a southern illinois site for adult and teen challenge illinois, this center is a critical resource in providing effective care to women who struggle with life controlling problems. the center is a residential program with a one of a kind approach to caring for women in need of treatment. for some, this program is a last chance before serving time in jail. for others, they come at their own will for dealing -- for help in seeking a road to recovery. when i visited the center, i spoke with three women who told me that upon their arrival they had found a a path to bettering their lives and finding purpose. for so many women, this center is a safe haven. it's a place for hope and a promise of a brighter tomorrow. i'm proud to represent facilities like the audrey f. frame women's center that provide this life changing care to women who are in their most desperate times. to all those at the center, i want to thank you for all you do. i'm going to continue to pray for each and every one of you, and i really want to thank my new friends, katrina, alicia, and rhonda who are not just an insp

krishnamoorthi of illinois. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 329, the gentleman from illinois, mr. krishnamoorthi, and the member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from illinois. mr. krishnamoorthi: thank you. i yield myself such time as i may consume. mr. speaker, i rise today in support of amendment number 30 to the climate action now act. we are already seeing the economic benefits of taking action on climate change. in the united states, we have already created millions, i say millions of jobs in the clean economy from installing wind turbines and solar panels to retrofitting buildings, making them more efficient, energy efficient, to assembling fuel efficient vehicles and manufacturing the component parts for all of these clean energies technologies that can help drive down emissions. my amendment acknowledges the important role clean energy jobs play in meeting the united states' commitment under the paris agreement. there are currently more than 500,000 job

because in illinois specifically the speaker of the house is also the chairman of the illinois democraticy, so they really utilized the influence of the state resources and put together army to take over the state's political influence, i think that's pretty problematic, you have the speaker of the house who is the longest serving speaker for over 40 years, this is a problem and we see this across the country. you have the large cities like detroit which takes over the plit -- political power of the entire state. that's pretty problematic, for those conservatives we need to put together a coalition that's going to defeat democrats based on our values and the values that many people share throughout these particular states. jillian: do you see that coalition happening any time soon? >> well, i mean, no. [laughter] >> that's the problem, i think when president trump won in 2016i thought that more people thought that there was a chance to do greater work and i do see that but we have to capitulate to the message, president trump has given us a really good platform by the lowest unemployment

going back to illinois, illinois only taxes about 20% of taxable transactions under its sales tax. said ivious governor, he will concede that we should expand the sales tax to that if the democrats will concede to structural reforms to the pension system and work rules and all of that stuff. that is where the debate ended. they were not willing to concede on any of that. i think that will continue to be the debate in illinois. pouring more money into the system without structural changes is like pumping blood into somebody who has a transfusion. that is not helping the underlying problem. expandingtalk about the sales tax base. it is a great conversation until the lobbies get to it. >> let me be optimistic on something. yesterday was the five-year anniversary of washington dc tax reform. it included expansion of the taxpayers. this is one of the things that all experts agree on but nobody else does. we were able to get it done in d.c. as part of a copper has of tax overhaul. i think you were on the staff -- competence of -- comprehensive t ax overhall. i think kim was on the staff.

missouri, when illinois and indiana troops entered, as well. as the western armies pushed south into the mississippi valley, the buckle of the nation's plantation belt, a humanitarian crisis created by the flood tide of fugitive slaves who fled owners to union camps in western tennessee, eastern arkansas, northern mississippi, pressured both political and military policy. union officers required to return these slaves often refused to comply, encouraging congress to begin debate over new policies about confiscation and contraband and commanders like grant advocating using them as laborers. in 1862, congress enacted the second confiscation and militia acts, allowing the military to free, employ, and enlist slaves from the confederacy. by the time lincoln completed the final draft of his emancipation proclamation, permanently altering the political and ideological trajectory of the war, black troops from the western border states were already in military service in the west. kansas jayhawkers included liberation of slaves. november 1861, charles

in lincoln and grant's illinois, they lost 14 congressional seats. the results of indiana and ohio were worse. than the scandals and national depression, voters were responding to reconstruction, which won indiana newspaper -- one indiana newspaperman called it climb -- crime and wonders for the treatment of the south. everybody is democratic now. unsurprisingly, these officers made a few claims to national reconciliation on this night. jeopardy was the victory narrative itself, one that at least a month's eastern claim, trumpeted emancipation as a linchpin. carrying chips on their shoulder boards, speech makers drew down targets.but two former confederate foes in the south, and former blue coated compatriots in the east. these have been placed initially by the progress of various campaigns and waited at the 2 grand review of the armies. man armybrated 90,000 had on march of may 23, while sherman's 60,000 men, the army of the west, 178 regimen strong, marched the next day. symbolically, the parade appeared to emphasize the accomplishment of the easte

here is a slide of traffic of the illinois/michigan canal. this economic historian has argued that the entire railroad system was superfluous in terms of explaining american economic growth arguing that much the same could of been accomplished if the country had simply continued to build canals. i'm not sure that's true but in any event it's not what happened. the canal would be displaced by the railroad. by significant coincidence the completion of the illinois michigan canal in 1847 through 1848, coincided with two other singular developments. the first is the appearance of cyrus mccormick's mechanical reefer that enabled two men and a horde to harvest as much weed in a day as 10 men previously could. 1847 and 1848, also saw the completion of the first 10 miles of railroad moving west/northwest out of the city of chicago, that would become the nine illinois united railway, short line to connect farmers in chicago's northwest hinterland with the market. >> paid for, not by federal grants but by local communities themselves, it might seem lik

going back to illinois. illinois only taxes about 20% of taxable transactions under its sales tax. the previous governor said i will concede that we should expand the sales tax to that if you, the democrats in the legislature, will concede to reforms and work rules and a bunch of other stuff. that's where the debate ended because they weren't willing to concede on any of that. i think that will continue to be the debate in illinois. kind of pouring more money into the system without structural changes is like pumping blood into somebody who has a transfusion when that is not solving the underlying problem. >> it seems like states always talk about broadening the sales tax base. it's a great conversation until it becomes legislation and the lobbiests get to it. you can't do my industry because we're special. >> let me be optestic eses esi something. yesterday was the five-year anniversary of the washington, d.c. tax reform. sales tax base is one of the things that experts all agree on that nobody else does. we were able to get it done as part of a comprehensive tax overhaul. i think

the occasion was an evening banquet and illinois. a month was february of the year 1856. there was a convention of republican newspaper editors of decatur. abraham lincoln was there and he spoke. he apologized for being an interloper, as he put it, and cast himself as the subject of a story about a man, and i quote, with features the ladies could not call handsome. riding through the woods he met a lady on her spec -- on horseback. he waited for her to pass but instead she stopped and scrutinized him before saying, well, you are the homeliest man i ever saw. yes, madam, but i can't help it. no, i suppose not, said the lady, but you might stay at home. [laughter] once the editor stopped laughing, he said with propriety, he might have stayed at home. i chose it because it is particularly apt. i was scheduled to speak your last year, but when it came to it i stayed at home. [laughter] now i may possibly be the ugliest man you have ever seen, though i certainly hope not, but that was not why i stayed away. i simply wasn't well enough to travel. i am especially grateful to joh

he lives in illinois. i am from illinois. if you are a wealthy person who makes a quarter of a million dollars a year and live in illinois or connecticut or new , because welifornia put a cap on the state and local tax deduction, if you make a -- aer of million dollars quarter of million dollars, your taxes go up. way too high in london in california and new york. you have to go to your state capitol and get them to reduce your taxes. host: our guest is stephen moore from the heritage foundation. guest: can i add just -- one thing that is interesting and what happened is this issue of withholding. some people looked at the refund from the government and said, i refund a smaller. therefore i tax cut was smaller. i want to clarify that. one of the things we did, we wanted the tax cut to get an in people's pocketbooks right away. in people's pocketbooks right away. we change the withholdings of the people did not get the tax cut at the end of the year. they were getting more -- a bigger paycheck each week or each month depending

illinois the same. billion by some estimates of unfunded pension liabilities and it continues to grow every day. that's part of the financial aspect is a big factor. but we see kind of an overreaching population out of the city that has a different idea about how to live their life and they continue to impose their will on us. you know, when it comes to the life, unborn, the second amendment. minimum wage is a big issue. and there is just many other issues that they are having in the city that we're just not having in the rest of the state of illinois. >> tucker: fewer drive by shootings outside of the city of chicago i would imagine. how does chicago feel about this? >> well, there are folks in chicago. i get email and phone calls every day say hey, we live in chicago. we live in cook county. we are with you. we do get some folks that call or email and say it's a bad idea. be careful what we wish for. we are getting way more positive email comments, social media comments, way more positive than the neg

steve: you live here and teach the subject at the university of illinois in chicago. is the black belt still there? can you still go to these neighborhoods and see what it was like in the 1960's? elizabeth: the neighborhoods have changed. chicago is still a segregated city. the ways it has been enforced has changed over time. the fact of segregation as a major organizing mechanism for all types of things in the city has not necessarily changed. today, many of the issues facing black students in the city are around school closings. the continued underfunding of black neighborhood schools. the continued inequitable funding and appropriation of schools serving some of the most vulnerable kids in the city. steve: what has surprised you the most in researching this topic? elizabeth: one of the things that surprised me the most was how little our current discourse around education reform includes those who have been historically most impacted. in fact, those most impacted have, over time, created lots of different ideas on how we might change and improve education. those id

lake michigan through the illinois river system to the mississippi.it ensured the entire mississippi drainage, basically virtually the entire united states, the rest of the route east of the rocky mountains, was now integrated into one steam driven market. and here is actually a slide of traffic on the illinois and michigan canal. economic historian has argued that the entire railroad terms was superfluous in of explaining american economic growth, arguing counter factually that much the same could have been accomplished if the country had simply continued to build canals. i am not sure that is true. in any event, it is not what happened. the canals would be displaced by the railroads. thegnificant coincidence, completion of the illinois-michigan canal coincided with two singular developments. appearance of the mechanical reaper of cyrus mccormick, which enabled two men and a horse to harvest as much as 10 men day previously could in a week. 1848 also saw the completion of the first 10 miles of railroad moving west-northwest out of the city of chicago

you teach at the university of illinois in chicago. what was it like here in the 1960's? elizabeth: in the 1960's, chicago was still the second largest city in the nation. it was a city with a very strong political leadership. it was led by mayor richard j daley, who was the head of the chicago democratic machine, but was also a power player in national politics. he helped to drive elections and decision-making in the national democratic party. it was an extremely segregated city. as it remains today, but certainly in those times. steve: how would you describe the views of mayor daley at the time, how did he view african-americans? elizabeth: it's interesting because african-americans were a significant constituency for him. they voted for him, and he had to court their votes. at the same time, they were marginalized inside the larger political structure and the democratic party apparatus. so it was a conflicted relationship. additionally, as a northern democrat, mayor daley was verbally supportive of civil rights organizing that was happening in the south, to get rid of

we are headquartered in illinois. we understand conflicts of interest and they to play and we're not going there. host: the latest report by your organization looks that is money that goes to fortune 100 companies. what was the goal? guest: the goal was to follow money. all the way back to 1961, president eisenhower warned of a military-industrial complex. and warned that the solution to that in a free society was that citizenry needed to be alert and educated. from the outset with this program, it was to quantify simply the federal flow of funds into fortune 100 companies, our most wealthy and well-connected companies. this is the second report in a series that we have done on this. five years ago, we looked at the federal flow of funds from 2000-2012 and we found $1.2 trillion over that 13 year did flow into these companies and now we have quantify the last four years. host: the top line issue, $399 billion is federal funding going to those companies. when it comes in the form of $290 billion. $3.2 billion going in
