sheldon head of the naacp. mr.heldon, the mention here today realizing the dream of martin luther king a year 50 yeo implies that none of his goals have been accomplished? >> no, not at all. this is as much a com commemoran as celebration of the dream that he laid out on that hot day of august 1963. the issue was a march for jobs and freedom. the issue is to making sure that our constitution is real for all americans. if you point back to--we'll use dr. king's speech, for instance, in 1963 as a guideline for how we analyze the agenda going forward. dr. king first began talking about the constitution was very much like a promissory note, a check, if we might, one guaranteeing all the citizens of the united states equal protection under law, and all those other rights and privileges and protections in the constitution. and that, indeed, for african-americans and so many others, that had not been accomplished. in essence that check had come back stamped insufficient funds. he sent people out from that march saying we

you know, when you find out that corporations are spending millions of dollars or people like sheldons something you can do about it. the wonderful thing about the stampede is anybody, anywhere, any time can make their voice heard and make their money talk and as you say, it lasts for three to five years depending on at what point in the life cycle of the bill you end up stamping the money. >> certainly the question of how long it will take to get any sort of campaign finance reform completed is probably an answer that ends in the phrase years if not decades. i want to bring in our panel in new york here. and, josh, when we look at what has happened to money and politics, the numbers just are staggering for the last election cycle. superpac spent 604 million. we have a supreme court case which could open the floodgates as if individuals peopfeel they can't get their dollars in politicians pockets. >> this battle was fought in washington in the '90s and 2000s between john mccain and mitch mcconnell who was adamant as the guy bringing the latest court suit is that money is speech and we

sheldon edelson had unkind words.used the conference call to blame caesar's entertainment and mgm resorts for driving down hotel room rates along the las vegas strip thus diminishing las vegas sands earnings. this guy is such a hitter! he said there are two companies that own about 20-something odd properties just off the strip and they are controlling the room rates. caesar's and mgm, both of which have significant debt and they don't have a big way to pay them off. caesar's has $22 billion, $24 billion and i guess their income barely pays their debt service. so maybe it exceeds it. what a quote. and get this, he went on to say, so they are trying to fill up all their rooms to get more bodies in to play the slots and play in the casinos. and the only way to get them is to buy the business by reducing the price. and that brings down my friend steve where they are undercutting us by large amounts and he finishes, this is amazing, he goes, the sucking sound that we hear is the room pricing and trying to fill up their pr

sheldon cooper asked, did sarah polk provide guidance to future first ladies? >> yes, 50 years after she was alive, you see, until the early 1990's, dolley died in 1849. so sarah was the embodiment of the elegant proper first lady after dolley died and the respect passed down with her, yes. >> so building on that, the question is, what is sarah polk's legacy? >> i'll let her answer this since she's written a great deal on sarah. >> i think that james k. polk probably might not have been able to achieve his ambitious one-term agenda without her help. she certainly kept the white house running because he literally worked himself to death and she handled his legacy well after his unfortunate early death. we have most of the legacy is his, first postage stamp, permanent treasury department, almost doubling the size of the united states. and many things to be thankful for. the first ladies themselves are not so much innovators as they are sometimes they embrace those aspects of the american character that the public needs and i think she did it very, very well. >> t
