lansing's fountain of wisdom has been broken. >> mike cox. >> thank you. the time and money would be horrible for michigan right now. we're the second worst in unemployment with hundreds of thousands of people looking for work right now. a constitutional convention would mean $45 million that we don't have. we would waste one year that the next governor needs to get going in order to give you a $2 billion tax cut and $4 billion in the reduction of the size of the state government. i disagree with tom. when the taxpayers get a tax cut, they do not get a check for the government -- from the government. they keep their own money and spend it as they want. would not need another garage -- we do not need another barrage right now. we have amended the constitution 31 times, including getting rid of racial preference. >> that is time. this question may be a bit esoteric. what do you suppose is the least popular position that you hold, but you would refuse to give up? >> it was probably voting for the smoke free air precision. the tax credits -- he has two of them

they could not get it done in lansing. they did a blended plan. >> i must have missed about you of your pension. >> i am on a defined contribution. $1,500 or $2,000, i never looked at it. >> from the time i was a marine, a homicide prosecutor, to being attorney general -- i am the one person on the stage to does not have a defined- benefit pension. i do not know the number, but you can look at my website and you can look at all my assets. you can look at by pension. you can look at what my wife and i make. i am proud to show you all of my assets. there is no conflict of interest. i agree with everyone out there that the premise of why anyone has anything beyond a 401k these days escapes me. however, we do need pension reform. i have a 401k that has been hammered just like yours has. look at the website. i do not know today. it depends on thie stocks. >> that is time. >> the point of the question is exactly right. to many public-sector workers still have our range of benefits and salaries that are significantly higher in th

scott rudin called somebody, probably sherry lansing. she called somebody else. and the next day, the movie was an "r," and not a frame of it changed. so paramount pictures basically finally telling the m.p.a.a., "you really need to make this an 'r.'" and they're like, "okay, it's an 'r'." that's disgusting. there was a time in this country where government was leaning on creators, and all the pressure comes from-- i'd be less scared of government. they'd be accountable, 'cause we could vote 'em out. m.p.a.a. is just there. it's like star chamber. great conversation; thank you so much for joining us today. thank you. i appreciate it. captioning provided by the first amendment center, funded by the freedom forum. captioning by captionmax www.captionmax.com (female announcer) for more information about speaking freely, visit our website at:

and joining us now from lansing, michigan, is michigan republican congressman pete hoekstra, ranking member of the house intelligence committee. sir, good to have you with us this morning. >> thank you. good morning. >> as we just heard from bill, all of these allegations coming out, and we're hearing that apparently there wasn't necessarily a connection, but that's not enough for people. do you believe there could be some sort of a connection between bp, libya and the release of al megrahi? >> well, sure, there is always that possibility, and this is why the government in the uk is going to have to move forward with an investigation. they made a terrible decision a year ago to release this guy. there was no justification for it. there was no rationale for it. this person was part of a scheme that ended up in 270 people being killed. so, there's no rationale. a terrible decision by the government. this government in the uk now has to come back and defend it under these, you know, allegations that there was an oil-for-release deal made. i'm not sure whether -- i don't believe that tha

lansing, michigan. the democratic line. leon. caller: i have heard this, like other speakers who said over and over to raise the age. i think back to the 1960's, the early 1960's, the minimum vesting time in how much money you got was set at 10 years. and it would seem to me that people are living longer and longer and longer, that we should investigate raising the minimum amount of work that you do it in a lifetime to invest in social security and medicare. host: some news out of iraq this morning. here is "the washington post." and similar headline in "the wall street journal," where general petraeus is also asking for the taliban to be on the tariff list -- terror list. and here it is -- afghan recruit kills three british troops. front-page of "usa today" says coalition eases up on afghan air strikes, despite widespread combat -- that is the from page of "usa today" this morning. one last phone call, orlando, florida, republican line. jim, go ahead. caller: i would like to say this is a classic example of the government breaki

we have a cluster of winds energy companies locating in this town of about 2,500 people, south of lansing. that will be the home for thousands of jobs. thousands of renewable energy jobs. and these companies there are positioning themselves to actually export this technology, so it's not just about beating the competition from china but it is about being able to build it faster, more cheaply and to be able to export that technology. so, the choice is, when my republican colleagues say, where are the jobs, is what policies do we put forward here? and do we continue the policies that are creating jobs, they're transforming our economy, or do we go backwards to what congressman sessions says, we need to go back to the compact same agenda. this is the agenda -- exact same agenda. this is the agenda that nearly bankrupted the united states of america, that drained the retirement fundses of millions of senior citizens, saw many -- saw the dream of retirement slip away for many americans and really left us with an economy completely on its knees. the industrial sector, we talked about that, it's

a magic johnson talks about how being a teenager in lansing, mich., he would take his first job and sit in the ceo's chair and dream about being a ceo. did you ever have that fantasy? >> absolutely. i love magics story also. we do not always have the best reputation as far as having a lot of smarts, but it was very encouraging to read his story. do i have those decisions? yes, because i like to tell people what to do. in a few years, i will sit in that chair. [laughter] i am obsessive. i think that any athlete is obsessive. if you have to be to do it over and over again and get it right. i need something to obsess over once this is said and done. i do love organization and i do love business. i will find a way to combine those. >> roger stock -- rotors of black -- a roger staubach said that you do not know if somebody wants an autograph. >> i have been pretty fortunate that most people do want to have their space designed or have a different design projects for fashion. fortunately, it does happen some time that people do not taking seriously. i realize that you do not start at the top
