i and then it seems like it might actually even happen reverend jesse jackson thanks so much for being with us today thank you very much. now i want to go to somebody else with boots on the ground in madison lisa graves is the executive director at the center for media and democracy and formerly the deputy assistant attorney general in the office of legal policy of the u.s. justice department of justice she joins me now lisa welcome to the program thanks tom so what's the latest on the ground there in madison. well the vote that happened this afternoon the assembly was a vote that was nearly shouted down i shouts of shame people throughout the capitol outside the capitol were shouting shame on those members and one of the surprising things that happened in that vote was it was an absolutely partisan right wing vote to strip unions of their rights and there were a couple of republicans that joined all of the democrats in voting against this deplorable and really quite frankly immoral bill so the crowd was stunned there'd been arrests over the last twenty four hours at the behest of walk

things i personally find frustrating is that to your point about content, if i can sound about jesse jackson. content without context is pretext. the content is nice. in 140 characters you try to put character out, that doesn't provide much room in terms of context. you can't tell the full story in 140 characters. you don't care about that, do you? >> i actually completely agree with that. what has been going on in journalism, over 25% of every tweet contains a link and most often that link is to a longer form article or a photo or video or something like that. that's where a lot of context comes from and that is what is so interesting about this. you can provide a short format content and it can contain a link to something that is much longer. a long essay or a video. in fact, we started showing videos, pictures and other forms of content on the website of twitter if it was linking to them, we went ahead and brought it in this a side detail. i very much agree with you while news and information can travel very quickly through this network, sfimes it is very important to add context to that.

black first black ever run an ok huge huge advance in the campaign enormous friends first thought jesse jackson was the first african-american to run for president second president is not a color just like you are not white built if anything frankly you're pink and third with one out of three african-american children living in poverty it's sadly not an advantage to be an african-american in the united states today but from his pedestal bill had a hard time seen these realities and that's very very. you can learn a lot by eavesdropping on rich people talking to rich people like when the next bubble in the stock market is going to be made and when it's going to burst on this topic i turn to today's financial times and three stories on the front page of the companies and market section the first story the man for synthetic but junk bonds grows and i just grabbed this here's the this is the paper. and. demand grows for synthetic junk bonds right here. but this story is basically saying is the banks see a bubble being created and wall street and they want to jump right into it with whatever sort of

we head jesse jackson's love child. now, the double-standards there are pretty vivid. i think if ralph reed had fathered a child out of wedlock and used his organizations funds to support her, that would probably be bannered on the front payment of the paper -- front page of the paper. instead, jesse jackson's similar transgression and actions were buried on page 27 in a single column. obama, the "times" has been in bed with him since the beginning. they delayed for an entire year stories about his relationship with the reverend jeremiah write they should have gone into and they were shamed into it. abc news got a video of wright, and only after that the writer started write about what wright was all about. they also allowed obama to get away with minimizing his relationship to the former weather terrorist -- former member of the weatherman, bill ayers. david axlerod said he was somebody he knew from the neighborhood. in fact they had a relationship over ten years in several different venues and a couple foundations. they were closer. i would like to switch now to immi

i mean gone glenn and rubin and gary hart and fritz mondale, jesse jackson, they all ran because theyw he was going to be vulnerable. by november 1984, he was at 60% approval and he carried 49 states. i mean you make the decision now, and i think the decision they are looking at, mike huckabee had an interesting thing to say. talked to him a couple of weeks ago. and he said look, he said barack obama is not going have a hillary this time. and he's already said, put out word, ot bama campaign which seems to have taken full form that they are goinging to raise a billion dollars. so he said you go through this long, costly, bloody battle and you win the nomination, david said could be extended, into april or may. and may of 2012, you say you facial an incumbent president who, with a billion dollars in his kicker and all the advantages of incumbency. but what that overlooks is that given the news of today and unrest in the middle east, the absolute unrest, that we could be looking at gasoline at $200 a bar em and $6 a gallon. and if that is the case, jim, your library board trustee in kan

jesse jackson speaking to the crowd. he was received fairly well. a lot of applause.at and wall street just a legend of the dow is still down. the s&p down 14. that here in the bay area another developing story of apollo although more vehicle burglaries have taken place. --palo alto. kron4 is craig sklar is live. >> reporter: it is a common sight, this is one of four piles of broken glass. this one at the tofu has you can see the other pilot class. this means to cars were burglarized on wednesday evening. and has been a string of this according to police. they have no leads. it seems to happen in the afternoon or early evening. it seems like they target cars with valuables in them. >> sometimes we prayer care. --sometimes we part here. nothing has ever happened to order. >> reporter: police say the reason that that did not find a pile glass is there's probably a local knows you don't leave things in plain sight. the car there was here was a rental there's a good chance that person was from other town. they didn't know there is a problem going on. if your going to park

jesse jackson said we must all share a little pain in this recovery. it strikes me ironic that everyone else is sharing in the pain except those in the public unions. no. that is not sharing. they are holding the taxpayer hostage. demand.and, demand, in my hometown, they just got a 4% raise for public employees. there's another group that is negotiating a 4% raise. i have a hard time wrapping my head around that when everyone else is struggling and there are people out of work. these people are being paid and it is a fact that for a comparable job in the private sector, they would not make what they're making now and have the insurance benefits that they have. people out there pay nothing for their insurance. host: thank you very much for participating. a short show this morning. the house is in an 9:00 a.m. the gridiron dinner this weekend, the annual event of key journalists. it's a private club of 65 members. they get to invite a guest. as we have come every year, c- span has asked for a camera coverage. it is closed to cameras. the president of the
