that prompted louisiana state representative lance harris to draft what's become known as the blue lives matter bill. >> this, i think, it just a rudimentary thing that we ought to do to protect those that are protecting us. >> reporter: the bill would expand louisiana's hate crime statute beyond race and gender to include the targeting of police officers, firefighters, and ems personnel. the penalty? five years in prison, or a maximum fine of $5,000. the state legislature passed the bill almost unanimously. now the governor says he'll sign it. but critics argue the bill confuses the purpose of hate crime laws. >> law enforcement and ems are not parts of people's forever identities and should not be included in the hate crimes bill. >> reporter: the black lives matter movement exploded after the police shooting of michael brown in ferguson. one of the organizers said the louisiana bill dilutes the power of hate crime legislation. >> if everyone is a protected class, then really no one is a protected class. >> reporter: overall fatal shootings of law enforcement personnel have decreased s

amy: louisiana governor john bel edwards has signed a so-called "blue lives matter" law, which expands the state's hate-crimes statute to add pololice officer, as well as firefighters and emas personnel to the list. the new law is the first of its kind in the country. it's signing sparked outrage by civil rights groups. louisiana naacp president ernest johnson said -- "hate crimes law is based upon a history of discrimination against certain groups of people, and a bill like this just tries to water down that reality, because there is not a history of discrimination against police and firefighters." in new york, a new lawsuit accuses the new york police department of intentionally profiling and harassing people who live on the streets. the suit was filed by the aclu and the group picture the homeless. it says the nypd is engaging in discriminatory policing by targeting people who live on the streets with so-called move along orders, in which officers tell people sitting or standing

last one in houston, officer goforth, i felt it was necessary that we put something in place in louisiana to protect those that are protecting us. you read every day where there's a lot of terrorizing going on. there's a small group of people that have a concerted e really terrorize our officers and do the things to kind of disrupt them in their day-to-day activities. i thought it was a good time and a very good step and long overdue to include officers and first responders in our ate crime statute. >> you had 9 officers killed in louisiana in 2015. there's a sentiment now of lack

so for louisiana, for southern louisiana, i'm so glad that you all are focusing on what the impact of low price of oil means. fishing can absorb the impact of the loss of jobs from oil and gas. what we need is a higher price but we need a more stable price of oil because it's the fluctuations, the boom and bust that we saw few generations ago which for the most part has been avoided for the last 15, 20 years as particularly devastating. >> it's up 70% or so since february when it hit the lows. brian, you'll rejoin us later in our next hour or so from louisiana. meantime, let's continue the conversation with the gentlemen. ron, the jobs report was a little soggy, i guess i would put it. not the first time that april's reports have been that way. but there are also some other signs related to the labor market is slowing down but wages are up. how do you grade this jobs report? what do you expect through the summer? >> i give it about a d. it's very disappointing to me. as wages may have risen by 3% this year, we lost half a million people from the workforce last month alone. when you co

and in that period of time, louisiana's employment has actually fallen. five small business employees need time with their families just as much as employees of larger businesses, if not more. they tend to be paid less, and therefore, to be less able to pay for time-saving help with children, chores and home maintenance. they suffer from the same stress and health effects as anyone else. so point one, from 1979 to 2013, inflation-adjusted wages rose only 15% for the bottom 90% of americans, less than 0.5% per year, while wages for the top 1% increased 137%. the economy in total national income grew, but most americans were left out. ceos and top executives take an oversized share of income. ceo pay for the 350 largest corporations grew almost 1,000% since 1978, while the pay of typical workers increased only 11%. corporations have relentlessly squeezed labor costs to the detriment of their employees while increasing profits for shareholders and executives with stock options. profits have been at all-time highs, while tens of millions of workers struggle t

french did not end up holding onto louisiana. there were some major legacies. host: so our five aristocrats end up in france again. why did they leave? prof. furstenberg: some came in different ways. some were more interested in learning about the country. but they all intended to go back to france. the only person who stayed, his father and wife was executed. he seemed to have given up hope at that point of returning to france. i don't get a sense of exactly why, what probably indebted. he was more connected with the philadelphia elite. -- he was probably embittered. when he went to the caribbean to to participate in the french attempts to reconquer haiti, to put the former slaves back into slavery, napoleon failed to reconquer haiti. and that frenchman died on that mission. he was the only one that never made it back to france. this is the tricky part about writing about people. some of them you spend years researching and you get charmed by them. he was a major disappointment to me, his life, on this mission to put people back into slavery. but all of them w

we looked all across the country, including louisiana. there's no place where you can earn an executive salary at less than the level that the department of labor suggested, because a basic family budget is, as she said, close to $50,000 everywhere in the country. but the fact is that all the department did was try to restore what we used to have in this country, which was a rule that said most salaried workers are entitled to overtime pay. that was the rule from 1938 until 1975, and we lost sight of that, that 50%. big deal that 50% of salaried employees would be covered by the rule in louisiana. it used to be 60% nationwide. so we're just trying to get back. the department is moving us not all the way back to where we were. this is not even a full inflation adjustment. >> and i agree with that point. the point i was trying to raise is that if congress through the tax code, the earned income tax credit, through the child tax credit, we could strengthen the ability of families to be able to have the budget they need. so it's not just work

>> the louisiana purchase. other than for money, where -- were there multiple reasons that france was willing to part with the territory? and additionally to that, the population of the territory -- to what excellent was it colonial frenchmen as continues tinth from others. mr. unger: very few colonial frenchman. although there were some. this was the big difference between the english, french, and spanish. most of the english settlers came to settle. most of the spanish immigrants to the americas and the french came to find treasure of one form or another. in the spanish, they wanted precious ores. they found it in mexico and south america. the french, they wanted furs and pelts. hey found that. but they were truly settlers. the reason the french were willing toive up for such small price was napole had had u s army, led by his rother-in-lawwas au jefferson was threatening -- madison was secretary of state, so he actual made the threat. there were rumors th the spanish were goingo retrocede the territy the fre

but why is louisiana drug the -- drawing the line at public safety workers?'t all victims of hatred and anger in the same classification? why are police officers special. >> absolutely. that argument is that these men and women put their lives on the line to save and it it was in response to a few high profile crimes that occurred in louisiana and florida. they said we needed this added protection because now it's a layer on their charges and applies to misdemeanors and felonies. prior to this it was a death penalty potential for murder only, for a police officer. so now it's an add layer for everything. >> the governor says that layer of protection, you say it's an added layer of protection, how is it a protection when every study suggests -- not every but most studies suggest that adding penalties is never a deterrent to the criminal who acts? they don't stand there and go, wow, i'm going to get an extra five years here if i pull the trigger. no. they don't. >> part of the argument is that this is a subjective crime. so it goes into the accountability of th
