other career paths like teachers don't follow the same line of reasoning just get a load of this mcgill said that he needs to make enough so that he can say no in regards to temptation teachers need to make the money that they need to make and if you double what you're paying education you know what's going to happen i've heard this comment many times well the quality of education is going to go up that never proved that's never proven to happen guys it was all his words so this guy's a line of reasoning is that if you pay lawmakers more that they will not be bought and therefore will perform better because they have no restraint moral character but don't even think about paying people like teachers a good salary because they won't do jack and what's worse here as he tries to defend that stands by invoking god and the bible will said it's a biblical principle if you double a teacher's pay scale you'll attract people who aren't called to teach and these teachers that are called to teach regardless of the pay scale they would teach so basically the guy thinks that the only good teachers o

also said that it was a factor keeping teacher pay low is a well known biblical principle mcgill of may have seen the hidden writing about teacher salaries in the bible but he sure didn't read anything about increasing the pay rate for state legislators a whopping sixty seven percent in two thousand and seven to be more specific mcgill a part time legislator is making more than a full time teacher with a master's degree and fifteen years of experience it's clear mcgill just wants more money for himself quoting the bible cover up his own personal greed now that's very very.

and the very very ugly alabama state senator shadrack mcgill according to a deal the bible is quite clear that increasing teacher salaries would only lead to less qualified teachers he made this remark at a prayer meeting in which he also said the doubling teachers' salaries which are only at thirty six thousand a year now would not help education. a two thousand and eleven report showed that alabama is we down the list when it comes to chip a across the nation mcgill also said that it was a fact that keeping teacher pay low is a well known biblical principle. gill of may have seen the hidden writing about teachers' salaries in the bible but he sure didn't read anything about increasing the pay rate for state legislators a whopping sixty seven percent in two thousand and seven to be more specific mcgill a part time legislator is making more than a full time teacher with a master's degree and fifteen years of experience it's clear mcgill just wants more money for himself quoting the bible cover up his own personal greed now that's very fair. so a very strange happened on capitol hill the h

god and the bible mcgill said it's a biblical principle if you double a teacher's pay scale you'll attract people who aren't called to teach and these teachers that are called to teach regardless of the pay scale they would teach so basically the guy thinks that the only good teachers out there are other ones that are called by god to teach they would teach because that's their destiny in life right it's especially novel hearing that from somebody who is a public servant and so was so special about this public servant is that while he will rail against raising teachers' salaries to compensate them for their hard work and contribution to society he has no problem raising his own in two thousand and seven mcgill is one of the many lawmakers who approve the salary hike that increase lawmakers salaries from thirty thousand a year to forty nine thousand five hundred here and as things progress pointed out alabama legislators are now paid more than a teacher who's been working for over twenty seven years oh and i mention the lawmakers are technically part time in alabama so we should not pay tea

smaller chance of lawmakers taking bribes if only they had bigger salaries somewhere along the way mcgill went on.

hard work and contribution to society he has no problem raising his own in two thousand and seven mcgill is one of the many lawmakers who approve the salary hike that increase lawmakers salaries from thirty thousand a year to forty nine thousand five hundred a year and as things progress pointed out alabama legislators are now paid more than a teacher who's been working for over twenty seven years oh and i mention the lawmakers are technically part time in alabama so we should not pay teachers more but we should absolutely pay lawmakers more and not because they contribute so much for society or working so hard and helping so many people because so they won't be tempted to be corrupt and accept bribes it's really really super solid logic so for trying to keep teachers from getting their salaries they deserve and using the bible to defend his greed shafik mcgill is tonight's to a time when. our guys it's time for happy hour and joining me this evening artsy correspondent christine and jake breuer chief strategy officer at vision strategy hey guys thanks for joining me i think there is a d

people still stop and ask me, what about the episode with the guy who was bruce mcgill, for some reason, they still remember this all these years later. and how exciting it was to do it for all of us who work on the show 16 hours to 17 hours a day. as good as they looked, it was how bad everybody looked behind the scenes. [laughter] me included. we were not fashion statements. tavis: on this new series, you are the producer. >> i directed the pilot. tavis: will you do some directing here and there? >> by may. first, i directed the pilot. then i -- i may. first, i directed the pilot. then i stepped into the executive producer position. tavis: in terms of the feature films, what is on the docket for michael mann? >> i just got back from doing research on stage writing in indonesia. and then developing something .hat takes place in 1415 i love medieval subject matter. tavis: i have never done one though. >> i have done a "blast of the mohicans." -- "the last of the mohicans." but i have been wanting to do something medieval. tavis: he did not quite connect. we are back now for "luck." this

after the korean war experiments were conducted at mcgill university to better understand the methods of the chinese scientists and talk to drugs and to test subjects kept them awake for days and blasted them with music with devastating effect. the results of these tests were supposed to better train american soldiers to withstand torture but the cia used them to optimize their own interrogation methods the us intelligence guidelines show how an anti torture training program was turned into a manual for torture as a cynical case of reengineering. the goal is to confuse the prisoners to break them psychologically and to make them feel awfully weak and powerless. two of the preferred tools noise and loud music. the cia allows up to seventy two hours of continuous deafening sound during interrogations making it impossible to sleep. my understanding is that the cia believes that would be easy to interrogate these people if they were so weak and if they if they didn't have the will that they were brought in with but i have i have absolutely no answers for why or what went on. but how does

and to tie it back to science, i had a graduate student at uc-berkeley who came to work with me at mcgill. for his doctoral dissertation, he wanted to study the extent to which we can understand what musicians are doing by looking at them, observing their movement. it is worth pointing out that there cannot be any music without movement, no sound without movement. sound is the molecules in the air vibrating in particular ways. there is no sound in a vacuum because there are no molecules to vibrate. all sound, including music, has to begin with some motion, movement. in the case of movement, -- music, it is the body moving, somebody pressing a key, striking, blowing, plucking. even singing, there is movement of air through the vocal cords. what bradley did is he took performances of musicians, in this case, a clarinetist playing stravinsky, and we had people come into the laboratory and we turn off the sound. as they listened, they had to write what they heard going on emotional and structurally. a different group of people came in and they had the sound on and the video off. a third group

also joins us alexis mcgill johnson. good to have you both. let me start with you. lot of think tanks and political groups have studied santorum's record. cato institute which is a libertarian think tank, said, santorum never met an earmark he didn't like. taxpayers for common sense which tracks the earmarks themselves, says santorum secured at least $1 billion in earmarks. for growth, describes his fiscal record as mixed while the american conservative union gave santorum a lower conservative rating than gingrich or ron paul based on their voting record. so in truth, is romney's attack on santorum not only accurate but fair? >> well, i don't want to be in the position to be apologist for rick santorum, but i'm given the fact he was representing a very center left. i'm sure his fiscal record.... >> gregg: are you saying he had to pander moderates and liberals in a industrial state? >> yeah. if you look at national taxpayer union, i believe they actually graded him pretty fairly. when you take that context, when you take that into an context. larger issue is his soci

alexis mcgill is executive director of the values institute. you understand this issue in particular? >> it's a complete double standard. rick santorum believes exactly the same thing the president of the united states professes to believe. no one accuses the president of being bigoted for opposing gay marriage. it's clearly because everyone assumes that president obama is being utterly insincere and doesn't really believe what he says when he opposes gay marriage where people -- the press in particular fears that rick santorum really means it. >> brian: alexis, do you think the whole association thing might be a trap for republicans? >> no, actually i think this has been their strong suit and actually changing some of the debate for why they might come into office in november. i think the challenge for santorum is this particular view looking in the context of a large set of his other views which people are concerned about. everything from women in the military to concerns about prenatal testing. it raises a lot of eyebrows 'cause it feels ext
