today, the indiana legislature finished passing this bill to strip union rights in indiana.niels used to say he was against the policy, but today he signed it right away. almost as if he was in some kind of a hurry. and thousands, thousands of union protesters pro-union rights, indianans took their case where the governor feared he would take it. they marched in the heart of ind -- in the middle of super bowl village. mr. pelath, thank you for being back with us. did you expect the outpouring with thousands of protesters marching to lucas stadium? the aerial shots are intense. >> you better believe it. i tell you what i'm trying to smile it has been a rough week and a rough day, but the word you hear most in indiana is disgrace. we believe the governor, this radical majority brought disgrace on us, brought disgrace on our very proud labor traditions here in indiana. brought disgrace on the hundreds of thousands of workers who will have their wages driven down. but here's the biggest disgraceful thing, rachel, we now have indiana as the playbook for the rest of the nation to

today, indiana became the 23rd right-to-work state in the country. it's also the first state to pass such legislation in over a decade. this is what happens when republicans take over state houses. right to work, weakens unions by preventing them from collecting dues. they are telling you what you can do with the paycheck. republicans argue that weakendownens attract business a create jobs. indiana was doing pretty well, in terms of job growth compared to other states without right-to-work legislation, especially when you compare to it other right-to-work states in the midwest. right-to-work states have lower wages than non-right-to-work states. daniels signed the legislation with very little fanfare, probably because the people of indiana overwhelmingly don't want it. a survey taken last month found that 69% of indiana voters wanted more time to debate before discussion was made on a decision was made on right-to-work. 71% did not want lawmakers to make a decision on right-to-work, forcing a public rear ren -- referendum. this was the scene at the s

. >>> the oldest maximum security facility in the state of indiana is the indiana state prison, located near the shores of lake michigan. for years isp, as it's known, had a reputation as one of the toughest in the state. but as you're about to see in the next hour, new policies and philosophies are trying to make this a place where history won't repeat itself. fortressed behind a 40-foot-high wall that stretches a mile long is a highly secure city known as indiana state prison. originally built to hold prisoners during the civil war, isp has a history of housing some of the state's most serious criminals. nearly 2,000 maximum security inmates spend their days behind these century old walls. >> the number one charge at this facility is murder. approximately 70% of the offenders housed here are housed here for taking the life of another human being. >> while the majority of prisoners have committed violent crimes, the prison has worked hard to create a safe environment for both staff and inmates. one improvement was the administrative segregation unit. >> back in the early '90s we had pr

the same thing happened in indiana. they had an increase in democratic turnout of over eight percentage points. that was the largest increase of any state in the country. for those who say, well, 2008 was a special election, that doesn't work. if you look at turnout in the 2010 election, you also had a big increase in the turnout, for example, of african-american voters. it went up by seven percentage points from 2006, the last mid-term congressional election when there was no photo id law in effect. in fact, in indiana in 2010, the black share of the vote in the mirm election was larger than the black share of the vote in the 2008 presidential election. much is made of this that there isn't voter fraud. there have been cases prosecuted for problems and election crimes. there's a case going on right now no troy, new york, where at least 46 voters have testified that they did not vote in the election and yet ballots were cast in their name. now, that case involves absentee ballot fraud. in fact, photo id, combined with c

dick lugar has not lived in the state of indiana since 1977. getting quite a run for his money from a tea party candidate in the gop primary. is this emblematic of what is going on with romney and gingrich and santorum right in your own state where you have an establishment guy getting hit not only by democrats but also the tea party for not being authentic enough? >> well, first, my official response is just to laugh. i mean, give me a break. these attacks just don't work no matter who they're thrown at. but what we've learned in indiana, and i think what you're going to learn in this presidential primary process as well is primaries are good. they make candidates stronger. i worked for dan coates, former now current u.s. senator in the 2010 cycle. and having a competitive five way primary made him a better general election candidate. they had to debate and defend and offer ideas on debate stages across the state and it makes people stronger. i think you saw that with mitt romney and the two florida debates. >> two guys at dscc they say in ind

i grew up in indiana.now there is a huge amount of excitement but the timing of daniel signing this bill this week, the reaction that sparked in the sort of clash, how is it all playing out? >> well, you know, i think that for us in the indianapolis hotel industry, you know, the right to work for less bill is obviously, you know something that's going to be terrible for work people here in indianapolis and, you know, there has been a billion tax dollars invested in this indianapolis hospitality industry, but there was a promise of good jobs that was supposed to come with that money. and but because there is no union rep presentation in the hotels, we have terrible jobs. the worst, the worst here in indiana and frankly i think this push for right to work it's trying to bring unionized industries in indiana where the hospitality workers have been at already. >> what does it say the state of indiana is willing to bring so much money to bring the super bowl there but nothing to protect the workers who serve th

the state of indiana, we budget every two years. so i had to turn my budget in and we had to live under it for two years. now we are planning to spend money as we are spending next year's money and then we are spending the next year and it's printing money and having our kids pay for it and it keeps going around and around on this hamster wheel, for no good reason in my opinion. the budget, if we decide to pass a budget, it starts all over again. so in all that, when we have bills on other issues, it's easy just to say, oh, chief election officer, secretary of state, make them liable. make them accountable. without, in my opinion, not any more thought than that. and so, i think it would be great for a group like this to help put forward an alternative solution, because we have thought through it. working with a group of congress people to get that thought into law, and we can actually add some value to this process. first and foremost i think that elections should be state driven to the extent there are fines involved and accountabi

we first met him at michigan city, indiana, during our extended stay shoot at indiana state prison. >ut there, jinx. >> he was probably best known for his constant companion jinxster, the cat he was allowed to adopt through a special prison program. >> try to make a swimming pool in here. >> he was also known for his off-beat sense of humor. >> it's a bird, it's a plane, no it's the bio bucket man. through the back gate. >> three years later, when we returned to indiana to shoot our extended stay series at the wabash valley correctional facility, we were surprised to see stone again. he had recently been transferred there. >> i talk to guys come in here from all the other prisons that recognize me. hey, you're the cat man, ain't you? so best thing i could do is say yeah, i'm him, see you later. >> stone is serving 101 years for attempted murder and criminal deviant conduct. but after 26 years in prison, he says he's a changed man. >> jinxster. >> he credits that to his relationship with jinxster and a nearly identical cat he had in prison years earlier named jinx. >> as you can see, h

we're going to bring in the president of the aflcio in indiana, nancy guide. great to have you here. let me address the superbowl issue. as i tell people that, people are going to be nervous and say wait a minute, is this going to effect the superbowl and is that a good or bad idea? >> we're mindful of the fact that there are an awful lot of people who rely on the superbowl for their income. we don't intend to disturb that, but this is a big issue impacting every hoosier and american and we're going to make sure that we get the message out. >> what are you guys going to do? are you going to block entrances, et cetera or are you not going to do that at all? >> i think that we're still talking about exactly what we're going to do, but we are just attend educational events. there are an awful lot of media here we're on the world stage. it's important to let the world know what's happening here in indiana. >> all right. then, let's talk about the bill itself. republicans are going to say what are you talking about? it's just called right to work and why should the

coming up, the victory in indiana. first a sanity break, lisa marie presley was born on this date in memphis, tennessee. she went on to have a recording career of her own, briefly married to michael jackson and nicolaus cage. he was clearly interested in troubled talented geniuses, and nick cage. time marches on. we begin with a dormant door mouse. pretty relaxed. [ snoring ] >> sort of sounds like rush limbaugh walking up a flight of stairs. and we need to find slightly larger quarters to take the load off. that box would be better for a smaller box like maybe a boxer. get it, boxer? he is just too big for the box, he looks like, you know, rush limbaugh trying to fit on to a queen-sized bed. and then we'll join a table tennis game in progress. he is getting quite the work out trying to stay with the action. sort of how rush limbaugh -- oh, sorry. i don't have a rush joke for this one. time marches on. just ahead this has not been a very good day for planned parenthood, but next the union busting effort continues acros

that is his old job overseeing integrity of indiana's voting. when charlie white was convicted of voter fraud the government appointed mr. white's deputy but made sure to point out he was making that appointment on a temporary basis only. he said "i have chosen not to make a permanent appointment out of respect for the judge's authority to lessen the verdict to a misdemeanor and reinstate the office holder." so mitch daniels says the guy maybe gets his job back supervising state elections if the judge softens the voter fraud charges for which he was convicted. do as i say, not as i do. indiana's top election official could be a guy convicted of voter fraud, really? >>> elsewhere, dick lugar is running for reelection not just against a democrat but a tea party nominee. the address on his house is one he sold in 1977. that is the primary challenger standing in front of said house in which he does not live. dick lugar voted for federal voter id a few election cycles ago would presume him from voting in his home state, depending on what address is o

indiana is rated 8th.ng this job growth through that sector of the country? >> strangely, it's the old industries. it's manufacturing, mining, drilling. it's the kind of stuff that made this area strong in the first place, which is the last thing you expected in 2009 with two auto makers going bankrupt. >> you lead off your piece, and it was heartfelt to read, about the growth spurt of the auto industry. explain the third shift of the 24-hour day production that's added to the efforts. >> that's sort of a spinoff benefit of everything going on in the auto industry. the third used to be a tradition with u.s. auto makers. they were pretty much gone at the recession at the time of the bankruptcies. now we have 15 or so coming back. it's a good sign for the auto industry in general. it's not just u.s. auto makers. you're talking west point and others as well. >> you start off with this 34-year-old woman who puts her kid to bed and comes home in time to make him breakfast. is that the transition? there will be
