there was a meet the day filed a complaint with the national labor relations board saying they were tallied it against and will wind up happening was that they had a meeting the union did in the union present a business manager in this case got up in front of a packed audience for people and said those guys over there the reasons all of you other guys are going to get a raise and the whole crowd got really angry and upset and then at certain point people were were threatening violence threatening to beat people up who were found in these complaints with the national labor relations board so basically the stereotype of unions applies to this union and coercing people to vote for to support all right this republicans so it applies in this situation in the actually the union had to settle a case with the national labor relations board on charges that they were condoning violence against members of the union who were dissidents on top of that they had a guy who was illegally laid off from a job at the union's request so so this is a situation really brings up the question where you hear the rig

president obama and the national labor relations board sued and said they could not do it. i fought and everyone of these governors stepped up and said, this is one of the most un- american things we have ever seen. being an election year, president obama dropped the lawsuit. instead of those 1000 employees in charleston, a few weeks ago, we saw one of those big airplanes come onto the tarmac saying, made with pride in south carolina followed by 6000 non- union employees proud about the work they do. [applause] >> >> thank you. i have heard some wonderfully inspiring things. one of the things you said was that one of the prime components of leadership is taking difficult positions, especially political, public decisions. why do i hear very few people stand up in the republican party speaking about weapons reform, especially on assault weapons? they are designed only to kill human beings. you have never seen big game with a flak jacket. there is no excuse for them in my view. [applause] >> who wants to take that? >> is there any form of assault weapons or anything else that

instead he and the national labor relations board sued boeing.ht, won and now instead of 1,000 employees we have 6,000 nonunion employees in the boeing plant that just produced their first plane and couldn't be more proud. >> in your reagan-like stand, i was working for him. has this attracted more business coming into south carolina? >> every time i get on tv. every time i talk about how we fought the unions and won, another ceo calls and says, we want to come to south carolina. >> you are one of the great republican reform governors, scott walker, mitch daniels, chris christie, et cetera, et cetera. you're checki inchanging the pa. is it a question here of fiscal prudence alone or is it that your constituents don't trust government and they are unwilling to give government the power and authority that, say, president obama wants to give government. >> i think constituents have been burned by both parties. constituents no longer trust their elected officials and i think elect d officials need to work hard to earn the trust back. you do it when y

well, on friday, a judge with the national labor relations board ruled the lockout is illegal. he says cast castlewood has to -- he says castlewood has to reinstate the employees and pay back wages and that will cost the club $million. >>> lorraine blanco has been out at the america cup since early this morning and has more on why there are so few boats on the water right now. so what's going on, lorraine? >> reporter: well, dave, there are just four boats on the water right now. you can see two of team sweden's and two of team italy's. the rest of them are parked by the bay bridge. a few of those are getting repaired for today's matches. during racing practice yesterday, the waves caused team china's boat to flip over. one woman was taken to the hospital. another team's boat capsized. this is like nascar at sea. >> it's like race car drivers going around the world to different racetracks. they will figure it out. they will figure out what tires to put on and what will be the fastest for each condition. >> reporter: it is a little windy and driz. y. the -- and drizzly right now

election platform called for the repeal of obama care, eliminating the power of the epa and national labor relations boardnd rejecting green energy initiatives. this is hardly a socialist agenda, but cruz was backed by the big money parties like freedom works, and the club for growth. and the tea party express. and he was endorsed by senators. a fact that was not lost on ted cruz. >> i am incredibly honored and humbled to be the only senator in the country who is supported by them. they're supporting me because they need reinforcements. they're out numbered by democrats and fellow republicans who won't stand and fight. >> there's very little doubt about the tea party's ability to stand and fight. whether or not it can govern is another question entirely. let's bring in sam stein. welcome to the show. >> thanks for having me. >> how big of a blow is this to the republican party. this is a big gust of wind for the tea party, no? >> short term, not a blow, but in the long term, it could pose problems for mitch mcconnell along the lines of what we have seen john boehner do. it was not that he was moderate, he

from the national labor relations board to the department of labor to the e.p.a. this administration the regulations are up and the job creation is down. president obama's view is clear. he actually believes that as a small business grows, the federal government should take a larger and larger share of its earnings. that punishment for expanding and creating more jobs i call it a success tax. you know the very best example is obama care. let me tell you what i hear in the real world about obama care. just a couple of months ago a successful restaurant owner in new hampshire told me about his dilemma. he wanted to open up a second restaurant and hire more employees. but you know what? he realized if he did he would trigger penalties under obama care and he couldn't afford it, so he never opened up that restaurant. is that what we want for small businesses in america? >> no. >> to be afraid to grow because of the government? >> no. >> to face penalties when you create more jobs? >> no. >> to be told you're earning too much? >> no. isn't it time that we had a leader

epa, environmental protection agency, to stop the fracking and so forth, to expand the national labor relations boardonize all the new health care workers coming to obama care. do you think obama won't force the agencies and have them make policy to run this economy? do you think so? >> the wall street journal has verified it. bill clinton will be speaking at the democrat yuck national convention in charlotte. he'll make the case for why president obama is following along in the same policies he advocated. [ laughter ] >> yes, he will. thirdly, you mentioned larry the wall street journal portion op-ed from mitt romney today. if you see a problem you have to run to it. that's the opposite of what mitt romney has been doing. he's been running away from bain, his tax returns, the todd akin story. he comes out with birther nonsense because he wants to talk about anything other than the reality of why his campaign is failing. >> is there anything stranger than having bill clinton introduce barack obama? in speech after speech barack obama has ripped the '90s and '80s as being an era of inequality. everyth

she knocked back the national labor relations board to keep boeing jobs in south carolina.for former secretary condoleezza rice. gave a spectacular speech. i give her a strong a. lastly congressman paul ryan, now the vice president wall candidate. i give ryan a b. it would have been an a had i heard about tax cuts and growth. plus for whatever reason he made that lefty term tax fairness. that shocked me. it's so un-ryanesque. but the democrats now in my opinion have no such list of star power. in fact, they have no program to restore economic prosperity. jonathan cowan of third way. cnbc contributor jim pethakoukos and wabc radio talk show host mark simone. s you have the toughest on you, jonathan. i don't think the democrats have a star bench. i don't think they have a program. i don't know why they are having a convention for that matter. >> well, they are having a convention because barack obama is likely going to get re-elected and will make his case to the country at the convention. they have quite a deep bench. just one example. i used to work for andrew cuomo of new

and what did president obama and his national labor relations board do? they sued this iconic american company. it was shameful and not worthy of the promise of america. [cheers and applause] but we did one of the things we do best in south carolina, we got loud. [cheers and applause] we're fighters in south carolina, and as we fought we watched an amazing thing happen. you fought with us. and guess what. we won. [cheers and applause] a few months ago i sat on the tarmac at the boeing facility in north charleston and watched as a new mack daddy plane was on the runway, and was surrounded by 6,000 nonunion employees cheering, smiling and so proud of what they had built! [cheers and applause] we deserve a president who won't sacrifice american jobs and american workers to pacify the bullying union bosses he counts as his political allies. american businesses deserve a federal government that doesn't stand in their way. not one that tries to chase them overseas. fighting american ingenuity and innovation, that's what this president has meant to south carolin

from the national labor relations board to the department of labor to the epa, under this administrationgulations are up and the job creation is down. president obama's view is clear. he actually believes that as a small business grows, the federal government should take a larger and larger share of its earnings. that is punishment for expanding and creating more jobs. i call it a success cap. the very best example is obamacare. let me tell you what i hear in the real world about obamacare. just a couple of months ago, a successful restaurant owner in new hampshire, tell me about his dilemma. he wanted to open up a second restaurant and hire more employees. he realized that if he did, he would trigger penalties under obamacare. and he could not afford it. so we never opened up that rest run. is that what we want for small businesses in america? to be afraid to grow because the government's rigid because of the government? -- to be afraid to grow because of the government? to be facing penalties when you create new jobs? to be told that you are earning too much? isn't it time that we had

the national labor relations board ahead. it cannot function without a quorum.e you cannot repeal the wagner act, you can get it by cutting the promotion act. he was filibustered because there are those in the senate who want to abolish the federal reserve board. if you do, the federal reserve board differencing confidently, the best way is to prevent the appointment of competent people to the board and try to prevent the board from functioning. will we need is hostage taking. whole bunch of examples. put holds on every pending presidential nomination. he was trying to blackmail the senate. the fast track into a government contractor in mobile, alabama who was a major political contributor, larry craig the whole of the promotions of the deadly general and the department of defense. because he wanted the air force decision for c-130 is to an airbase in the idle hope. once in a chair route -- uses the rules to stretch to extract something he and i give back vote. i was and to rest -- interviewed by somebody. walt said is a good role because he had held up a defens

there are other issues about the national labor relations board.he corporate tax would be a huge improvement, in my judgment, and make america more competitive. host: the caller brought up the jobs report. your take on addit. guest: at least we did create some jobs, 160,000. we are an anemic jobs recovery. this is the lowest jobs recovery in the modern era. you are running about 150,000 jobs per month and we need to double that. the unemployment rate is too high, 8.3%. it could be as high as 15%. we are in trouble on this. it looked like what december, gender, february, we were going better guns -- december, january, february. that seems to have stopped. some of these short-term stimuli fade away. the other thing to deal with is the fiscal cliff, which is primarily a tax cliff but maybe defense spending cliff. if the bush tax cuts expire, that will take about $400 billion out of the economy and it will reduce marginal incentives to grow. the congressional budget office it thinks that creates a recession next year. people think it is impacting this

[ cheers ] >> we're going to start analyzing the speaking here and other attacks on the unions on the boeing issue. obviously unions give money to the democrats. that's why they do it. >> we have all been commenting here on some of the -- this is the most negative set of speeches i have heard. not a single affirmative argumen

they get everybody covered >> they did so, the national labor relations board, company executive hadhat line in that case is what brought this crowd jeered. a bit of a crowd that has been filling out as the night goes on. we are steamrolling towards the headliners. we have one more speaker, haley and then we start getting and run the speech. we got rid of the business earlier this afternoon. been on the floor. activities that happen committee approved the rules and that nature. for almost a moment, we have seen the showcase and speeches. this is where we have put the best foot forward. that is what they are doing right now. governor mitt romney now has enough delegates to put him over the top. more than 2000. we just have to see what he has to say is the nominee. neil: it is amazing. we didn't have a chance early on when this lady spoke. talking about another one that brought down the house. it is interesting. she is a small-business owner. i think someone who has a good future here. a lot of business owners featured here, even in the ads in this auditorium, as well as the businessme

[audience reacts] no. to be afraid to grow because of the government? to face penalties when you create more jobs? to be told you are earning too much? isn't it time we had a leader who believes that creating

another example, three nominations to the nlrb have been held up, the national labor relations board doesn't have a quorum. it cannot function without a quorum. and so even though you couldn't repeal the taft-hartley act or the wagner act, you can gut it by preventing the nomination. the nomination of peter diamond, nobel prize-winning laureate at mit to the federal reserve board was filibustered. why? because there are those in the senate, including david vitter, who want to abolish the federal reserve board. and if you don't want the federal reserve board to function competently, the best way to try to get it abolished is to prevent the appointment of competent people to the board and try to prevent the board from functioning. and it encourages hostage taking. what do we mean by hostage taking? i'll give you a whole bunch of examples. richard shelby in january of 2011 put holds on every pending presidential nomination. why? because he was trying to blackmail the senate into fast tracking a government contract to a government contractor in mobile, alabama, who was a major political

national labor relations board has been vilified for fulfilling the statutory mandate.n the sports world nfl players abandoned their right to bargain collective. fortunate for all, that dispute was resolved without the result of the regular games. nba fans were not as fortunate. as the lockout resulted in truncated season. the 30 baseball clubs by contrast announced new, five-year labor contracts last november a month before the briefs deal end. we had no lockout, no strike, no threat. why did collective bargaining succeed in baseball last year? how did baseball the labor history sport most contention avoid strich? >> some suggest a smooth negotiation was inevitable given the circumstance which he bargained. neither revenue nor profitability explain our result. coming into 2011, the nfl annual revenue exceeded mlb and the nba annual revenue lagged ours. both leagues picked protacts fight with the players. and the millionaires v billionaires line was said of baseball in the '0eus and '90s which every negotiation included a work stoppage. profitability is not the driver e

appeal the national labor relations board. [applause] >> bobby jindal.ernor walker mentioned the repeal of the health care law. way back in your past for president george bush, you were an assistant secretary for health and human services. i think you were 12 and came back from england. what would you do to agree a -- create a new health care law or revise it? >> i want to build on something chris also said about leadership. one of my greatest disappointment in this president did is his failure to lead on entitlement reform. look at it. every time he talks, he always says, we know we need to reform the entitlement reform. get a little more time. he has said that four years in a row. go back even further when i was at the hhs. back in the 1990's i worked on the bipartisan medicare position. you had democrats and others endorsing premium support. we need to reform medicare. it is not sustainable. one of the greatest failures back then was a failure of the clinton administration. to be able to support that and a lot of things happening that year. that was t

economy or understand the tax incentive model and there's other issues, too, about the national labor relations board and so forth on the regulatory side, but the corporate tax would be a huge improvement in my judgment, make america more competitive, keep jobs here, and grow the economy. >> host: the caller brought up the jobs report. talk about the national jobs report that came out earlier this month. your take on it? >> guest: yeah, well, at least we did create some jobs. what was it? 160 # ,000 jobs? better than expectations, but, look, we're in an anemic jobs recovery out there. the joint economic committee calculated this is the lowest economic in jobs recovery in the modern era, since 1947. that's from the joint economic committee. you're running about 150,000 jobs a month if you go back 12 months. we have to double that. that's way too low. the unemployment rate at 8.3% is too high. you can measure unemployment differently, but if you include discouraged workers and so forth, that's as high as 15%. we're in trouble with this. we thought we had, and i say this objectively as an economist, it
