how have things fared since then at the university of missouri? guest: i am glad you brought that up. so, i would, the university's still paying fiscally and economically, financially. so the consequences have been layoffs at the university of staff and some faculty. so the university is still paying financially and economically. protests onso campus, and these protests were done by student -- graduate students, student athletes. we often hear so many bad things about student athletes. a symbolic role on campus, in the city at large, symbolic representation. ipe public policy leadersh points out, strong material, thattant values, you see with student athletes protesting, football players in particular. i wanted toreasons come to this institution was the very socially conscious student athletes we have. host: a professor of history and black studies at the university of missouri. his book is "the land of fee: hidden costs and the decline of the american middle class." thanks for being with us. guest: thanks for having me. host: we're joined by prof

and the teamsters the missouri a.f.l.-cio president said that in the in this campaign they knocked on eight hundred thousand doors and made over a million phone calls so they made a big commitment on the other side there was a dark money group new missouri incorporated with money from the usual suspects and the in two thousand and fifteen there was a right to work push and the koch brothers group americans for prosperity a familiar group was also involved there so after a big battle with a big commitment on both sides you know there's got to be i can almost hear the sighs of relief coming from the n.f.l. c.e.o. headquarters not as i don't know your own party from here let me back up just a little bit daniel so this janice case this is a supreme court ruling we recovered it one time you write that they have wine for that and that was a federal government worker who sued to ensure that he did not have to pay union dues even though he was represented by the union so that's just federal workers and this missouri law would hav

the governor of missouri. but he himself was a crony. so the power actually statewide by 1932. when it got guy park elected to have influence through the state of missouri into the national convention, in the 1930s pendergast eventually selected the senator for missouri nothing he loves more than a statewide vote. but at this point, but i believe the number produced about 70000 fraudulent or gross votes. so the sheer number produced out of kansas city could be tallied and they were official if they were real or not. have the power to do this. and throughout the city you can see the courthouse, municipal auditorium, 10000 seats, is still there and then by 1932 it is impossible to the democratic national convention. that is a big portion of the state legislature. so at some point he racked up by the 1930s. but then the phrase even more money but eventually in the light -- the late fort wong -- the late 30s he was involved in the insurance kickback scheme. actually the scheme it's not clear if he broke the law with the scheme itself. i'm not a lawyer so i cannot explain that but i

and in another missouri race, ferguson city council member wesley bell unseated st. louis county prosecuting attorney robert mcculloch who was widely criticized for his handling of the police shooting of michael brown in 2014. to talk more about tuesday's results and what they mean for the midterms in november, we are joined by two guests. in washington, d d.c., zaid lali is a staff reporter at the intetercept. anand in madison, wisconsin, is john nichols, political writer for the nation. we welcome you both to democracy now! begin with, let's you. talk about the significance of these races. which were you watching most closely? >> we had also reported from

listen. >> it's been sold as a way to help missouri workers.ttle deeper and you will see it's all about corporate greed. prop a is being promoted by a network of out-of-state billionaires, super pacs and corporate special interest groups. >> no way on prop a. >> get the facts, right-to-work states have worse schools, lower quality healthcare and lower wages than states with strong unions. >> dana: if your business community is outspent 5 to 1 and that's the kind of messaging out there, can republicans turn this around? >> oh, yeah. i think so. this is one of those rare instances where the unions did win the battle. there have been a lot of right-to-work fights where unions have lost because most people know that right-to-work actually means more jobs, more growth, more companies moving from non-right-to-work states like missouri into states that are in the surrounding areas. and people get that. but unions can win a fight every once in a while and they did and they were smart and they were able to take it to the business community but i don't t

in the 1930s the pendergast selected truman to be senator from missouri. he was elected in the statewide vote but at this point through pendergast i believe the number that he could produce was about 70,000 fraudulent or goes to votes in any given election. it was the sheer number of votes that he could produce out of kansas city that would be tallied and they were official, whether they were real or not. he had the power to do this and he had plenty of support to the pendergast machine affiliates could win elections even without phony ballot boxes. they gave people jobs. they build infrastructure. if you walk around the city today and see the courthouse is still there. the municipal auditorium is still there. the 1932 he is on top of the world and sending delegates to the democratic national convention. he has senators and the governor of missouri, big portion of the state legislature. pendergast also had a gambling addiction specifically horse racing. at some point he racked up several hundred thousand dollars and that's in the 1930s, the great depressio

to californias-or california to missouri. the last pouch would be open and typically mail in there would be delivered along the way. often to not just the people who lived there but often to newspapers. as i was saying, it was kind 0 a relay race, and you'd relay through places like this, in the sierra. a nice, wide gap there for you to ride through the ride we're take the mail, ride -- always -- always a male, are far as we know they were all white, about roughly 19 years old in a few cases a little bit older. always very athletic, as you can get. kind of wiry and, as i say, extremely good -- in extremely good shape and very,er. >> at endurance. they ride about ten miles, depending where they were there then usually a young man, 122 years old or so sometimes an older -- 12 years old or sometimes an older person, standing with a horse, saddled up and they throw the rider would jump off of his mustang, throw the saddle -- throw the -- ride off for another ten miles and they would do this for roughly -- roughly another 100 mile

to be the most powerful signal came from missouri. in missouri, we saw a right to work law put on the booksks by a newly elected republican governor in combination with the republican legislature. we have seen that all over the country in places like wisconsin and michigan and indiana as very powerful interests have pushed these right to work laws, which are anti-labor legislation, meant to make it hard for unions to organize and collectively bargain and participate in the political process. in missouri, that attempts to put the law on the -- they had a chance to put the law on the ballot, to essentially let the people overturn it. by a two to one margin, remarkable numbers, two to one margin missourians rejected the anti-labor law. this is one of organized labor's busiest victories -- biggest victories in a number of years. it paralleled ohio in 2011 when they put an anti-labor law on the books and it also lost by roughly two to one margin. i think that is a very, very big result and one that we have to pay attention to. i also think

the original one is at his library in independence, missouri.ne thing people rarely get to see is the back of the sign. the back of the sign says -- "i am from missouri." why is that important? it reminded harry truman, don't ever get a swelled head. do not think you are better than the people who elected you because one of these days you will be going back home. harry never, ever lost that concept. he never forgot who he was nor where he was going, and he always was one of us. at the moment, we are in the harry s truman little white house, what we call the rec room. a wrap around porch, or if you are old enough you might call it a florida room. this is where the president relax with his staff after hours. probably one of the most iconic things in the house is this poker table. it was made for the president in our cabinet shop as a gift from the navy in 1949. the president had early been here for four other vacations prior to that, so president relaxed by playing poker with his closest staff. they played cards from about 7:00 to 11:00 every nigh

austin peterson republican senate candidate in missouri thank you so much for your time and joining us on the program tonight thank you for once that's our wrap up of the day's top headlines for now but in the meantime you can find us on all of your favorite social media platforms for up to the minute reports thanks for tuning in. russia is one of the countries that most buy capacity in all the very high population does that mean russia does need to be concerned about sustainability i would say yes absolutely you are no lock a situation where you have a lot of farm per person so to say you know you have a lot of wealth ecological wealth and but the word is very scarce so that's a huge economic advantage as well and saying wow this is an amazing farm let's look after it well because that's said that book made a loss to live well the long run. it wouldn't make us manufacture consent to public wealth. when the closest project themselves. with the famous merry go round this doesn't mean that one person. we can all middle of the room sit. in the real news room. that. means if. it's in the d

nearly tookan that an incumbent in missouri last ofr, his new bid for mayor kansas city, missouri. president trump says anyone doing business with the islamic republic will not be doing business with america. brendan boyle waves in -- ways in -- weighs in. ♪ david: u.s. voters in five states head to the polls today before the critical november midterm. a special election in ohio, republicans are fighting to keep a congressional seat that has been held by the republican party for three decades. we go to larry sabado. it is always good to have you with us. the most obvious question, why is this a close race at all? this is a traditional republican district, i believe. >> because this is a midterm year and because the president of the united states is incredibly controversial, and a solid majority of americans judge him unfavorably and have since the day he was inaugurated. so this is traditionally the time when people who don't like a president get energized and enthusiastic and turnout at the polls. and it can even work in substantially republican districts. this one is a classic, r

ferguson missouri police left michael brown's body on the street where he fell for four hours on this four years ago and the people in ferguson roads up in protest. it was the kind of protest we had seen many, many times before in this country, including when arthur mcduffy was killed by police in 1979 in miami. but the protests we saw in ferguson, missouri, combined with the police reaction to those protests turned into the first rioting over police use of deadly force that occurred since the invention of cable news and the internet and social media. there was no cable news to cover the rioting in miami in 1980 after the arthur mcduffy case or many of the other cases that occurred in those days. and so the mcduffy case remained a mostly local story. america did not wake up then to the problems associated with police use of deadly force. but four years ago, the cable news media immediately descended on ferguson where we were reporting live from the streets every day and night of the unrest and barack obama became the first president of the united states to publically discuss police us

is he from butler, missouri area. great uncle namesake also that was killed in world war i. >> did you ever serve -- >> did i not. i was green beret at the time. i went in. for whatever reason they decided central africa sounded better. if you are familiar with special forces that you each have areas of responsibility and at that time they assigned me to a group that had that responsibility. so, i did my time and went out and finished college and then became a chaplain. >> [away from microphone] >> yeah. [[inaudible] [. >> yeah. he is the academic guy and, you know, i always tell me. >> dana: we have been watching a very moving ceremony and two brothers, charles and larry mcdaniels getting back their father's dog tag. this is what came back, one of the things that the army has found when the boxes came back from north korea. a very meaningful, important moment for that mcdaniel family and for all americans it's an honor to show it to you. thanks for joining us, everyone. i'm dana perino. up next, shep smith. >> shepar

if you want to see that power on full display, just look what is going on in missouri right now. on august 7, there will be an election to see if the people in if you want to see that power on missouri want right to work. i will make a prediction for you. we are going to win on august 7. the people of missouri, the rest of the workers in the country don't want to go in that direction. the legislature and the now ex-governor have ignored the interests and voices of working people. quite frankly, they listen to the whispers of a few right-wing corporate billionaires and jam through a wrongheaded right to work law that threatens to lower by over $8,700 per year. working people took matters into our own hands. we were tasked with getting 100,000 signatures to put the law to a statewide vote and that -- and guess what we did? instead of turning in 100,000, we turned it over 300,000 votes in the process. that election is tuesday and i will tell you again, we are going to win that election. we are going to win because of what workers want and making our voices heard is what we do best.

we have done over half a million in missouri during half a million phone calls. way over that number. the number of conversations at the worksite is approaching that number, probably. that is just in missouri. priorities in terms of what levels of offices you are concentrating on? you mentioned state legislators. are they your top priority? >> i cannot think them because them becauseank they are different. you might have a governor senate race and a bunch of house races. on the number of people involved. we are also targeting individual house races. in states that we would not normally play because they are so important. people in that district, that is their highest priority. governors races are important to us. senate and house races are important to us in a number of different states because that is where the attacks are coming. 25 states have legislative attacks on our collective bargaining or some other prevailing wage. those are important to us. from state to state. have your coordinators. this has been one of the easiest years that i can remember to get pe

and that is just in missouri. what are the priorities in terms of which levels of office you are concentrating on? you mentioned state legislatures, are they your top priority, or our governors your are priority -- our governors your top priority? richard: i can't rank them because we have tier one states and tier two states. we are going to focus on the number of people involved, but we are also targeting individual house races in states where we wouldn't normally, because they are important. and to the people in their district, that is their highest priority. governors races are important to us. races aresenate house important to us, because in a number of cases that is where the attacks are coming from a large part. states now have legislative attacks on us, either collective bargaining some other prevailing wage, davis-bacon, one of those things so those are important to us. so it varies from state to state, and then we have tier two states that will have the same deep program but with fewer coordinators. by t

the attorney general of missouri, joshua hawley is joining us right now. about what your state is about to do, the first state to publicly announce an investigation after pennsylvania. >> thanks for having me, wolf. we're going to investigate all over the state. it will be a statewide investigation. we hope it will be comprehensive. we are sure it will be thorough in scope. we've asked each. four diocese, we have four in the state of missouri, we've asked each of the four to open all of their books to us. we want to see everything they have related to clerical abuse. we'll interview victims' families, speak to members of the public and do everything it takes to get a full, fair and thorough accounting of the facts. they'll we'll write a electorate, lay that bare to the public, including making recommendations for prosecution if necessary. >> you initially, attorney general gener general, resisted the calls for an investigation saying it was up to local prosecutors. what changed your mind? >> well, we don't have subpoena power, high office doesn't have subp

louis, missouri. i think i have it right. it's i-70. my bad.er the i-70 series back in the day. missouri, statewide, a major statewide election have people on the ballot that a lot of people with washington addresses care about, a labor union issue. tell us about it. >> right to work. the backstory, republicans last year in missouri passed this. activists said not so fast. they put it on the ballot. unless it passes in the referendum, and it's today. the polling on this shows the right to work in referendum in missouri that looks like it's likely to go down to defeat. a wide margin. the timing on this is maybe the most crucial part of it. the republicans backing this thing said we don't want to put this on the general election ballot in november. what else is on the general election ballot in november? claire mccaskill, democrat, fighting for her political right. if you're going to rile up labor, put it on the summer ballot, then you have a better shot perhaps at mccaskill in november. >> it is a reminder, and i know a lot of people work with t

to missouri. he is working with the secretary making final edits and refinements to the great speech. we have this in our collection and we had it on view in an exhibition called the power of prose. this talk builds upon the exhibition and gives us a chance to see churchill's mind, a great mind a great master of rhetoric , and the great visionary when, about his thoughts of the cold war by looking at the primary source document. before we do that, i thought it would be appropriate to set the stage. before we talk about the cold war, it's probably good to start with the ending of the last war, world war ii before it. winston churchill led the allies to victory together with the americans and the russians, the big 3, the alliance and there was a terrific -- pageantry in may 1945 on v.e. day giving the sign v saying the victory is yours, the triumphant end of it world war ii in europe and churchill took a victory lap on that occasion. many americans forget that shortly thereafter there was a general

i decided, i am going back to missouri. now, the first time i was in missouri. i had a job earning $.10 per hour in a drugstore which paid my expenses. this time, i was going back and working during world war ii. so i was going back and working -- so world war ii was on and i went back and i was working in a dining hall at the university at $.30 an hour. big jump. one hour would get you breakfast or lunch or dinner, and anything over your three meals you could use that money for anything else. i graduated from missouri in september of 1944, the same day that my mother became a citizen. she was being sworn in out of nevada, so we could not be together. i got a job with united press in indiana. and i liked it, but i was not happy that united press didn't feel they needed to have to pay me as much as a paid the men, and i've fought that issue with them and i quit because i lost. it was a five dollar a week difference, but i didn't feel like they were being fair. so i went out to lewiston, idaho to work as a night editor. after a very short while there, i decided, t

it failed by more than 2-1, which is a great result for labor, even in a sta like missouri, which used to be kind of a national bellwether state and reallyeas trnded republican over the last ten to 15 years. you know, it also speaks to a larger phenomenon in american political life, which is that when you have arvonive president, the public all of a sudden starts to act a little whenmore liberal, like there is a liberal, the public starts to be more conservative. we see that on pulic opinion for instance on the affordable care act, it's become morepu r since president trump got elected. and you can maybe see it in these right-to-work rests in that that's a liberal agenda item fighting right to wordk, an democrats succeeded in defeating it by a big margin last night in missouri. >> brangham: speaking h the presidenw do you see his influence having played out last night? >> i think the predent really took credit basically for balderson apparently winning, t at the same time, if hillary clinton were in the white house, ohio 12 probably wouldn't have o been that mu a contest. we know from
