happens less often than people getting struck by lightning but unlike other republican governor scott walker is really going one step further to really screw over the voters in the state walker's now closing d.m.v. offices around wisconsin making it even harder for people to get photo i.d.'s that are now needed to vote and guess which d.m.v. office is closing the ones in democratic areas of course and he's expanding hours in d.m.v. offices in republican areas but even if you're lucky enough to still have a d.m.v. nearby in wisconsin get ready for a hassle take a look at this undercover video taken by someone in wisconsin attempting to get a photo id earlier this week in order to vote as the video of the church you're going to see. i know it is the use that we need to see your kitty now. it's the balance as the video shows you have to give up your bank records after you have to look over your banking transactions and you have to pay thirty bucks to get the id that is unless you know to say that you need it just for voting in that case it's free but don't expect the d.m.v. to let you in on thi

in china the wages are moving up in the united states are aggressively moving down and so mike scott walker who is there. in madison wisconsin and in wisconsin he's a he's an acolyte of the koch brothers who we know from recent revelations are in bed with the energy companies they themselves being an energy company to speed up the effects of the ecological whole a cost that we're witnessing and so his solution to the labor unrest is to put everybody in prison well next we were just talking about the casino element of the casino gulag economy this reminds me of the gulag economy is that like north korea you have a command and control gulag economy emerging in wisconsin using slave labor to perform your work it never works it doesn't work for north korea north korea probably started out forty years ago down this road on austerity measures that probably started as a way to cut the deficit instead they have a dilapidated economy that relies on the sugar daddy of china. because they can invade the only other way to pay for a gulag economy as germany did was you invade other countries dear leader

now wisconsin prison inmate cost thirty thousand dollars a year so they're using free scott walker is calling it free labor for maintenance work landscaping and painting jobs so they're paying thirty thousand dollars for these prisoners to do the work that's right this part of the global contraction and conflagration and wages in china the wages are moving up in the united states are aggressively moving down and so mike scott walker who is there in madison wisconsin and wisconsin he's a he's an acolyte of the koch brothers who we know from recent revelations are in bed with the energy companies they themselves being an energy company to speed up the effects of the ecological hola cost that we're witnessing and so his solution to the labor unrest is to put everybody in prison well max we were just talking about the casino element of the casino gulag economy this reminds me of the gulag economy is that like north korea you have a command and control gulag economy emerging in wisconsin using slave labor to perform your work it never works it doesn't work for north korea north korea proba

just lation and saying this is where we stand and yet when you look at john case it did that scott walker did that rick scott did that rick snyder did that in your perspective we was consonant ohio florida michigan and now they're all in the tank i mean in all probably in all probability scott walker could be facing a recall election john case it would if they could isn't this suicide for the republicans to have gone so far off the tea party edge well i mean i think that they feel like you have a mandate from the people they ran their be they're being consistent with a platform that they ran on and you know in two years in two thousand and twelve if the people decide that they're not doing what they want to do then they're out of there that's the nature of the house of representatives but i don't think i've recommended that we have the house republicans only have the house right now if their publicans want to make any sort of statement they have to do it through the house maybe the senate will approve it well they have even if you know who had the senate president in a veto it is that. yo

what does this mean and what does it mean for governor scott walker?, this is a big deal tonight, ed. dave hansen was specifically targeted, the green bay area has been voting a bit more conservative in recent years, so they went after him. instead, he won a landslide victory. now, remember, in just a couple of weeks, one of the recalls of a republican state senator is taking place on the other side of green bay. this has to energize democrats in that area. but it is also significant tonight, ed, that if you look at the republican primaries, these were contested republican primaries in two other districts, in both cases, turnout was surprisingly low. so even though they had contested primaries, they had lower levels of turnout than the democratic primaries a week ago. what i am looking at, ed, is a reality that the democrats appear to be incredibly energized for these elections. the republicans, not so much. >> and there's some other news out of wisconsin, the state senate, john. republicans passed their redistricting plan. what do they have up their s

now scott walker's people say that sixteen d.m.v. locations across wisconsin are on a target list to close a look at where the closing will take place shows most you guessed it they're in heavily democratic areas but to offset the closure the d.m.v. will extend the hours at other locations across the state guess what guess where those are they are primarily in republican areas so is this just a coup when students resist scott walker's nefarious plan to keep democratic voters from the polls now wisconsin is not the only state to target voters this year our friends over at think progress have been reporting on efforts to curb voter rights so far that they've tracked are named in two thousand and eleven now they have counted more than twenty states where republican lawmakers have used voter fraud speculation to introduce legislation to restrict goading rights now not all the measures passed this year but usually two dozen states tried so you may be asking yourself maybe this voter fraud issue is the real deal with so many states activel

if you strip the union rights from these workers who were does this come from i think this is scott walker on federal sterling. nation should have been gone last year and my vote i think it was a no brainer then i think it should have gotten time and this kind of speaks to me this is the consequence of the bigger problem that we have here with having the debt become this massive in issue that's tied up all of this time we should have a vote that was done months ago and we should have moved on but at the same thing that happened last year that's happening now is that we've had you know because the procedural rules because of the partisan fighting we're not getting the legislation through congress that really should be going through congress and we're not having debates it took us forever to get food which should have been just a kid in the brains of the republicans. republicans who are injecting ideology into every peaceful. just lation and so this is where we stand and yet when you look at you know john case it did that scott walker did that rick scott did that rick snyder did that in resp

assault of voting rights we are giving our tool time award tonight to governor scott walker continuing a long and rich history of voter disenfranchisement. and joining me for happy hour yeah it's a fun time is our t.v. producer jenny churchill and derek thompson is back senior editor at the atlantic so we have heard about past big spenders on hair and makeup sarah palin was very famous for that but we have a new one and i'm sure you can't guess who it is but michele bachmann there. i think. i was being sarcastic i guess my sarcasm fell flat but she spent nearly forty seven hundred dollars on hair and makeup in the weeks after she entered the presidential race on june thirteenth that's a lot of money you know it is a lot of money but at the same time if she was out running around looking haggard we'd all be sitting here talking about is her husband cheating on her what's going on with her life i mean we have to be honest here if people don't look tiptop then everybody is dissecting them like hillary. he has bags one day and everyone's like oh my gosh what's going on is she under too muc

wisconsin governor scott walker is making it harder for thousands of people in that state to vote. s, where they love america and love to engage. walker signed a voter i.d. bill into law last may, which means people without a photo i.d., well, they can't vote. the law directly affects students, minorities, low-income voters, the elderly, and others that are traditionally less likely to have a photo i.d., or who traditionally vote democratic, how about that? now the walker administration is planning to close -- planning to close -- as many as ten state division of motor vehicle offices where people can obtain a photo i.d. now, according to "bloomberg businessweek," one democratic lawmaker said friday it appeared the tedecisions were based on politics, with department targeting offices for closure in democratic areas and expanding hours for those in republican districts. this is yet another move to stack the deck against wisconsin voter who is want scott walker out of office, and they can start that process early next year. this is one of the reasons "the ed show" will be broadcasting

workers in wisconsin are screwed what else is new wisconsin governor scott walker is transforming the workforce in his state not only to walker bust up public unions but he also took away their job or they exceeded their power to declare certain jobs around the states as union only work meaning the state can now bring in private employees willing to work for less money and fewer benefits creating a race to the bottom in the labor force in wisconsin and walker has already hit rock bottom in that race since walker's new law went into effect racine county and wisconsin has called on prison inmates who work for no money and no benefits to do work that unions used to do not landscaping and maintenance around the county essentially kicking working class americans out of the labor force and replacing them with free prison labor because this is walker's idea of a worker's paradise so this latest insult for working people how much more abuse from the working class really take and what can we do to fight back at this point for some answers on this i'm joined by joe burns former local union pres

when wisconsin governor scott walker -- the people filled the capital building and streets of madison. people who support union rights lost in the sense that governor's bill passed but also won in the larger picture. by fighting governor walker, wisconsin built momentum they needed to force a recall election for most of the republican state senators eligible for recall and voted for the bill. six of them now up for recall this summer. wisconsin republicans tried to force recalls for all the democrats eligible too, but they just got three of them, less than half the number they were aiming at. in one of those races, the republican candidate failed to make it on the ballot. he only needed 400 signatures to get his name on there and he didn't even bother to sign his own petition himself, so he's not going to be in that election. wisconsin republicans won the elections in their state last year handedly, the republicans in wisconsin won in 2010, but wisconsin republicans are losing 2011 badly because of their overreach on policy matters and because democrats fought them back on union right

what do you make of what scott walker is doing? guest: let me share with you -- in my particular state, have a house that is democratic and a senate that is democratic and on and a democrat. -- and i am a democrat. you would wonder how we get major reforms done. we have reformed pension this last session, reform the unemployment insurance, reform workers' compensation to the tune of over $1 billion over the next four years. we have made the most dramatic transformation in two decades. i laid out the crisis we find ourselves in and i need your help and i need to sacrifice. we went to work. this last legislative session was not a pay hike. we got all of that done because my message at the outset was these are unprecedented times for it we cannot end up in a partisan bickering battle. money to set aside the politics, set aside all the anger and the end and roll up our sleeves and get the job done. we got it done. legislative session was probably the most productive that anyone can remember. it was done by everybody laying out the prob
