. >> and the seiu, right. glenn: tell me a little bit about the idea and the philosophy of being a community organizer and remaking america. what does that mean to barack obama? >> well, you did a fabulous job of laying out on a theer rhett cral level what the agenda is in terms of transformation, but in order to implement that transformation, of course you need a civilian core, and you need a brigade of foot soldiers implanted in neighborhoods across the city who are at the beck and call of of team obama to, you know, whether it's shaking down bank s, forming a housing entitlement mob, fostering voter fraud, and census shenanigans. you need the bodies. glenn: and even seiu, here is this union that most people don't even know what that union even does, and they're shaping -- they're the ones leading the way on healthcare. >> that's absolutely right. what you've got is a union that has remade itself in the 21st century to recruit the next generation of democrat and hard left foot soldiers, and of course these t

i didn't just discover seiu! on the campaign trail, your agenda has been my agenda in the united states senate. before debating healthcare, i taught seiu members. before immigration debates took place in washington, i talked to seiu members. before i even get inaugurated, during the transition, we're going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. we're going to have meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda to the next presidency of the united states of america. glenn: i want to ask you these questions, america -- do you think the meetings went like the town hall meetings where all the questions are staged and he is just, you know, laying out his plan for everybody? or is he actually meeting in the white house? is he meeting with the average people in the white house? who is in charge of this? i'm just asking america, will you start to ask the officials the tough questions and hold their feet to the fire? the tough question is who is actual

we continue following the money between seiu and acorn and ann coulter stops by. if you believe this country is great but that the government is bailing everyone out but you, it's time to stand up, and come on, follow me! two things happened that were the wrong turn for g.m. c.e.o. fritz henderson expected to speak again. here about two months ago, glenn sat down with him. take a look. hear this. glenn: you're now in bed with the federal government. we have cars now possibly going to be made by a company owned by the union and the government. what kind of nasty k car are we going to be getting in the future? >> well, glenn, neither the u.a.w. nor the u.a.w. veba nor the federal government has demonstrated any interest in running our business. the product, you're going to have -- glenn: the government owns g.m. if that's not running your business, what is? the people that are involved in helping you, quote, unquote. you have the government. their agenda is pro union and green. green and efficient. then the unions, their agenda is higher growth, legacy costs, and on

seiu, in a nutshell.leading the charge in healthcare reform? well, let's start with andy stern, the head of seiu, who visits the white house once a week, when the president met privately with the healthcare industry, only stern and one other seiu official were there representing labor, but why does the seiu get so much display with the president? maybe because their union spent $60 million to help get him elected. stern says they deployed 100,000 volunteers during the campaign, including 3,000 who worked on the campaign full-time. their relationship is fostered not only through stern's close contacts but in placing members of his union in high posts in the administration. for example, white house political director patrick gasper is a former seiu executive out of new york. there is another powerful connection. members of its local chapters share goals an office space with none other than acorn. seiu, acorn, and obama. branches of the same tree, and that's seiu in a nutshell. coming up, jeff foxworthy give

louisiana, home of acorn and seiu in new orleans, louisiana, where all the race charges came after katrina. that's -- huh. anyway, i got sidetracked. a group called organizing for america, which is now a branch of the d.n.c. hosted a press conference in baton rouge, louisiana, to promote president obama's healthcare overhaul. guess who showed up? people wearing acorn t-shirts that acorn says, they're not us! sweet, isn't it? d.n.c. now acorn? well, not really. we are losing our country, for the love of pete, and i don't even know who we're losing it to. we called organizing for america today. they told us, acorn, we have nothing to do with acorn. wait until you see the video. could have fooled me. america's most notorious community organizers were out in full force endorsing the overhaul along with them. a woman who shot the video thought she was showing up at the federal building for a town hall on healthcare. she found out quickly, oh, not so much. when members of acorn realized that there were some opponents like her in the crowd, they directed a police officer to step in and get the di

and seiu and g.e., who are big in designing the whole healthcare bill. i think they got a lot to win here. i can't find the things in the healthcare bill where the average american is a winner. i can find it for these guys, so i think that really we should stop calling it a flag and just start calling it the logo of our nation, and let's just be more honest. let's replace the stars with the companies. >> well, wal-mart is a good example to have up there. there is a company that grew up by being better than everybody else. they got you goods faster and cheaper, and now they're con knifing with politicians, saying, oh, yeah, let's raise the minimum -- glenn: why? >> the founder died and now the bureaucrats are in charge and they can make more money by partnering with washington. glenn: i think they're afraid. >> that's, true, too. glenn: i think there are a lot of people in business afraid. >> if we don't cooperate, they will come down on us. glenn: yeah. let me show you an example of government-run healthcare in this country. we just sent one of our produ

many people were there from the sseiu from a group called health care now -- from theor)y seiu, i would say about one-fourth of the crowd broke out into applause, and that surprised me. they went through the different health care options and explained how wonderful it was going to be for everyone. pretty much everyone in the room was applauding senator cardin and the others. neil: we asked the senate to come on the show, but he declines, and they released this statement. this is what he said, i guess, to you. >> what happens if you get sick? what happens if you're in a car accident? or what happens if you happen to slip, and you have a broken bone, and you end up in the emergency room? and you do not pay? you are a part of the population that ships their cost over to the person that does pay -- that shifts their cost of to the person that does pay. neil: that is what you told me. so we have a responsibility. we all pay into it. you just were not buying it. why not? >> well, again, as an independent person, the concept of independence means that you moved out of your parents' house. when

in terms of incurring favors with the unions, i would say that the seiu has a number one priority along with the rest of the unions is the card and check issue. i think it would be foolhardy to try to cut a deal on health-care coverage to ward off card check, but i think that is left to others to draw their own conclusions as to what their motivations were. >thanks very much for joining us, steve. judge so,tomayor says yes as long as it's sides with the government. -- it sides with the government. ♪ f-r-e-e, that spells free credit report dot com, baby. ♪ ♪ saw their ads on my tv ♪ thought about going but was too lazy ♪ ♪ now instead of looking fly and rollin' phat ♪ ♪ my legs are sticking to the vinyl ♪ ♪ and my posse's getting laughed at. ♪ ♪ f-r-e-e, that spells free- credit report dot com, baby. ♪ of the world's most revered luxury sedan. this is a history of over 50,000 crash-tested cars... this is the world record for longevity and endurance. and one of the most technologically advanced automobiles on the planet. this is the 9th generation e-class. this is mercedes-benz. you have

it's a shell game, and everybody is getting rich, and the people who helped him devise this is the seiu which as you are well aware, that is the union tied directly into acorn. we are building a new exo-skeleton and it is feasting our our republic, agree or disagree? >> i absolutely agree. when we look at the service employees union and how card check would have benefitted them, one is ease easy unionization, and the other is funding organizations closely aligned with unions. look, i'm a partisan republican. i make no argument about, it but our study was specifically done so the facts speak for themselves so that very clearly we could make the case that acorn cannot be receiving government money, and should lose its tax-free status. glenn: congressman, i would love to have you on again, because i hope you are not just focused on the 361 groups of acorn, but you are also now looking into americorps, because the infection is now inside of our own government, and it is in americorps as well. >> with walpin having been fired, we need to look more deeply into americorps. glenn: you sure do.

seiu. there are 300 affiliate organizations. the people that we told you earlier this week, the special interest groups that actually designed the stimulus package called the apollo project. one of the founding members on the board, wouldn't you know it, our green jobs czar. this is all happening along with americorps. the help of barack obama and ted kennedy, they have embedded themselves into the structure of this government. look at the czars and ask yourself, gee, who are these people and what are they doing? if and when, some would believe they could overwhelm the system to the point it cannot function anymore, and tell me, guys, we're not there or close to it, then they've already built a new system. it's already in place. all they have to do is just say, whoa, whoa, whoa, for the good of the republic, i didn't want to do this but i will have to fundamentally transform the united states of america, because obviously that's broken. in the movie "contact" the space travel machine was built using alien technology. everybody k

jones day's bob profusek along with the seiu's stephen lerner.entlemen, good to have you on the program.m. >> good to be here, maria. >> stephen, let me kick this off with you. what are your thoughts on executive compensation what & what would you like to see done about it? >> well, i'm sure this won't be a surprise to you but i think attorney general cuomo hit it on the head. we have a system now in which wall street and big bankers win and taxpayers lose. what's really crazy here is we're almost a year from when lehman crashed. these guys are unregulated, unrepentant, and unreformed. they get the bonuses whether they make money or lose them. we need to do something about it, whether it's a combination of what we need to do on the hill, but more broadly than that we need to challenge i culture that says no matter how bad they strip the economy these guys get billions in bonuses. zm wait a second. what about this argument, though, you that know, there's all this great talent and they need to get paid and if they don't get paid they're going to go

the seiu, the serve empyees international union.whh essentially is going to battle with bank of america, with ken lewis, essentially trying to force him to unionize the bank tellers. and one of the levers they're using, obviously, maria is their powerful hooks within the obama administration. they spent $60 million putting obama into office. they have key people in the administration. and they're basically calling now for ken lewis's -- they're doing two things. number one, they're calling for ken lewis's resignation. they've written timothy geithner to basically get ken lewis removed. they're doing that on the one hand. on the other hand, they're demanding a meeting with ken lewis so they could try to get these bank tellers unionized as part of their union. and you know, here's the interesting thing here, maria. i am a son of a union ironwork. i have nothing against unions. i actually think they do very good things, particularly in trades where youisk life and limb. i juston't e it in bank ing being one of those trades unle yo coun

as the seiu is ramping up pressure, calling for his head, they have recently written the secretary andoldingrotests and that unionizedbout 100,000 bank tellers as the quid pro quo. that's one of the major things that senior people in bank of america are worried about. this union losing their cloud with the obama adminiration. let's face it. the government controls part of bank of america, right? >> they should be worried. what do we know about unions? they drive up the cost of labor and they're proud of that. aren't you tlald you have taxpayer money invest and now we are going to drive up the cost? >> let me make this point. my dad was -- i have been through my share of strikes. i come fr union background and my dad almost lost his li twice on theob. we are not talking abo coal ners and people who do hea construction. we are talking about the biggest occupational hazard like a paper cut. i amot denigrating wt tellers and back office people do, but it's not a type of job -- >> they are not out of the jungle. >> we are talking about sweat shops here. it seem to be all downside. that's fo

if you look at seiu and acorn, there's a huge gap between what the management wants and what the rankves. gretchen: michelle malkin, as always, thanks for your insights. she had an interesting way to end her segment there because it goes right into this next seg management. you just heard what the aarp is really about, but next hour we talk about a retired army sergeant who was so upset when he discovered their liberal agenda that he canceled his membership. and erin andrews has joined the company of some stars that she doesn't like. >> are you ok? >> i did nothing wrong. i'm being treated like britney spears, and it sucks. cat. specially formulated to promote hairball control and healthy weight. friskies indoor wet cat food. feed the senses. i had a great time. me too. you know, i just got out of a bad relatio... it's okay. thanks. goodnight. goodnight.

comply with federal laws that required the payment of excise taxes on excess benefits to daily rathky, seiu local 100, the union, under the direction of acorn founder wade rathky filed bogus reports with the labor department in order to conceal embezzlement. all of this off of this report, this nonpartisan house of representatives report that asks the question, is acorn intentionally structured as a criminal enterprise? dated july 23, mr. speaker. and, fifth, acorn falsified and concealed facts concerning an illegal transaction between related parties in violation of the employee retirement income security act of 1974, ariza. acorn falsified and concealed facts concerning an illegal transaction between related parties in violation of ariza. findings go on. they should pierce the corporate veil and do an investigation, justice needs to do an investigation. something that they point out is that when acorn crosses the line, which i don't think anyone questions they do, the individuals harmed are the low to moderate income work whorms acorn was founded to protect. they hurt the very people that
