types of fruits or vegetables you bye >>> past that is looked at unprocessed products like grain milken aides and pour can meet researchers found eating un organic reduced exposure to pesticides and residue but levels also within safe limits to un organic foods >>> the evidence shows were not eating as much fruits and vegetables as we shut and then maybe one of the main conclusions people should be eating more fruits and vegetables clearly, at this point there's not as much evidence to suggest there's a difference between organic and conventional which should be eating more of that. >>> it cost more for organic foods and products her family will keep spending an extra four organic she feels is best for her children. >>> not so much bad exposure to chemicals >>> no matter what you choose experts say important to watch all fruits and vegetables before you eat them. >>> a rumbling santa cruz landmark silenced today the last day for the hurricane roller- coaster at the boardwalk don ford on those you can count for one last ride. >>> the hurricane roller-coaster jammed packed, everyone tryin

the study is available from the milken foundation. a child who is the 50 percentile level, two years later with a good teacher is 80th. with a poor teacher, two years later is in the 20th. host: talk about inner-city schools, the poverty rate, the crime rate, the number of single-parent households. these are societal issues, not educational issues. how do we as a society deal with that? guest: there is a movie called "waiting for superman." it seems that a number of people, a large number of people want to do better by their children. they are not sure quite how to do it. they go to these lotteries, they do whatever they can. they falsify their addresses to say that they live a certain place of a child can go to a better school. we still have the d.c. opportunity starship program, a great program, where kids can go to school. i was debating chris matthews -- i think we disagree on everything. except the trinity. but he said one of the most remarkable stories and america is the success of the catholic school, the inner-city catholic sc

again that study i cited available from the milken foundation, the 50 percentile, at the 80th with a good teacher, a poor teacher, down to the 20th. that's all we need to know. host inner city schools, you talk about the poverty rate, crime rate, number of single parent households. these aren't -- these are societal issues. how do we as a society deal with that. guest: there's a movie called "waiting for superman", a very interesting movie, about parents wanting to get their kids into better schools. turns out a number of people, actually a large number of people in the inner city, want to do better by their children. they're not sure quite how to do it but they go to lotteries, do whatever they can, they falsify addresses in order to say they live in a certain place so their child can go to a better school. we have in d.c. or used to have the d.c. opportunity scholarship program, which is a great program where kids can go to school. one of the remarkable things, i was in debate with chris matthews in texas, we disagreed i think on everything, except, you know, the trinity. but he sa

the sherman antitrust act and so we had these mergers and acquisition mania you know the michael milken and all this stuff and what happened was thousands hundreds of thousands of small domestic manufacturers became thousands of large multinational companies based in the united states and at that point those multinational companies it seems to me have a whole lot less interest in being american promoting american building in america and it wouldn't be a reasonable argument to say that that was one of the largest contributing factors to how we got into this mess and the maybe one of the things we should be doing in addition to label in our products is breaking up some of these large companies these giant monopolies. well the answer to spy piece of what you're what we need is have a national space race type you know resolve that we're going to build manufacturing you know from ten percent of women right now to fifteen at least twenty in the whatever it takes ok and so it's buying domestic stuff it's kids being told by their parents you know that that you should learn how to be a machinist

i said no, this is not what we were supposed to have herald, not the american milken four.e should truly be taking diversity as our fabric to say this is what this is country is all about rather than the ethnicity with the election of obama. lou: it was before his election, as you point out, the congressional black caucus, these are organizations devoted to the perpetuation of ethnic identity and interest. what i struggle with is how are those interest any different than anybody else of interest and why aren't they combined? isn't that what it is supposed to be all about? >> i devoted an entire chapter to the caucus, and it should come to an end. they were found to be the conscience of the congress. his replacement a caucasian gentleman running to represent a 60% white district -- 60% african-american district said if i win, 60% of my constituents are african-american, i want to learn what some of the issues are and he was told for over 200 years we have essentially a congressional white caucus, you're not allowed to join, you're not allowed to mack invited to, don't come.

(laughter) some people are lucky enough to borrow money from their parents. but that shouldn't determine whether you can pursue your dreams. not in america, not here, not in the 21st century. i don't think governor romney meant any harm. i think he's a good guy. he just has no idea how good he's had it. we know that in our free market economy some will prosper more

we try to get a fair wage for the milken we're told the consumer will not pay more, so you are lucky to get what you get. >> i understand the situation. i grew up in a small business family. an individual business person on their own cannot change that. if we raised the minimum wage, everyone with low-wage workers will be paying more. the competition will be facing the same -- minimum wage is 12% lower now than it was in 1967 even though the productivity of the economy has doubled and even though the skills of the work force is far greater than it was 40 years ago. i understand. it is not the immorality of an individual owner. i am talking about what is going on that sets things up so we get these outcomes. i take your observations to heart. host: from rhode island, bill is on our independent line. caller: i agree with you minimum wage has to be raised. over the last 30 years, if we had kept up with the cost-of- living raises, we would not be in this predicament now. i would like to know what you think about that. i will take my answer of of the air. guest: thank you for the question

research now is clear, and i think this is the heart of the matter, steve, it's been done by the milkenamily foundation, los angeles and in other places, if you take a child in the third grade at the middle level in the 50th percentile, math and reading, and give him an excellent teacher, in two years that child will be at the 80th percentile, if you give that child a poor teacher, that child in two years will be at the 20th percentile. what more do we need to know? but that good teachers make a huge difference in the life of a child. not all the difference. not everything. most important person in the child's life is a parent, obviously. but if you can move from the 50th to the 80th with a great teacher or 50 to 20 with a poor teacher you've got to pay taeupbgs to the quality of the teaching force. the true evaluation isn't just about improving teachers. it's also about identifying who are the ones who should be promoted, rewarded, given more opportunity, given more responsibility, and encouraging out 69 profession people who are -- out of the profession people who are harming kids. ho

last year the milken institute rated it the best in the country in terms of sustaining jobs.big reason he was elected. >> he is the first hispanic, the first mayor, and he is pretty young. tell us some important points about his biography. >> at 28, he was the youngest council member to be elected. going back even further, he was raised on the west side of san antonio, by his mother. she was the leader of the party that fought for civil rights for mexican americans, better jobs, better housing, better education. her mother was an immigrant from mexico. he grew up relatively poor, on the west side. he made it to stanford and harvard law school. he considers his story one of american success against the odds. >> you will have a special introduction to life from his brother, is identical twin. >> yes. >> how do they interact? >> they are each other's closest confidants. i was profiling him for a story that i wrote a couple of years ago. i think that he called him two or three times on one car ride alone. they are constantly touching base with each other. on this speech they batt
