professor sinclair, yes, up until today even with the good numbers people aren't feeling great, but is there and a cumulative effect from this if things keep lumbering the way they have been, are they likely to feel better? do we fill in more of the picture by the fall of 2016? >> i'm really hopeful that 2015 is going to be that year when people really do start to finally feel better about the economy, that it's not just, wow, thank goodness i have my job, but rather hey, i have a pretty good job, and my neighbor has a job, and now that i'm looking around i realize that things are really getting better. but it's been a long time comi coming, and so whether people will really say that this is a surprising pleasing thing or just finally is really the question. >> and whether anybody gets credit for it. >> right. >> because finally doesn't make you feel like you want to go out and with regard somebody. >> right, right. >> neil, earlier in the program you talked about how not everybody pays close attention to the election or gambits of campaign, interesting set of stats, statewide minimum

upton sinclair of course, it is a work of fiction but if you read the literature he says there's almost no elements in the books that were fictionalized almost all of it was documented and be documented proposal he would make the climate was not accept the reading of the narrative of the story line. they're still talking about it. i cannot tell you how many times someone has done the undercover expos a of the slaughterhouse there's something about the food chain that is important to us and people are visibly affected. he said he wanted to do something for their workers the he writes for the stomach and the examples the abuse and the lives of the people really did touch people in a different way. their revelations that came in the second half of the book. so that effective policy which was something. and everything they wanted to be. that was important to him. >> host: talk about jack london but there was something else that he wrote? >> that was a young man's effort he bought himself some shabby clothes and lived among the locals for a period of two months and really presented this as t

that was the are property that a fellow named sinclair was able to get the rights to drill on. then it turned out the sinclair had been bribing the secretary of interior to get those rights. teapot dome started as an investigation that most members of the press core didn't think was going anywhere. they thought it was a typical a congressional investigation, a lot of talk but no action. for a while, it seemed that was true because they couldn't come up with real hard evidence. but there was a chairman of the committee named thomas walsh, a senator from montana. a democrat from montana. even though the republicans held the majority in the congress, walsh had such personal reputation that he chaired this investigation and looked into issues. of course he was looking into misbehavior by the harding administration which was a republican administration. walsh continued to press on this until he finally got some breaks and got people to admit what a they originally said was not true. one of whom was the publisher of the washington post mclane. when the secretary of the interior alber

and where katherine died. >> i had grown up in the shadow of sinclair plantation but had never been there certainly never imagined that i had a personal connection to it but if that's where my great father worked, great grandmother died and great grandmother was born, i want to see it for myself. >> right now we are walking along what is known as manager's row. >> so who lived on this row? >> harry. harry like lived his life in one of these houses and walked up and down these streets to and from work every day. this is a turn of the century map of cinclaire. this is the management. and this is negro quarters. so the layout in the past 100 years has not changed at all. and it gives you an idea of where katherine might have lived and where harry might have lived. i have another document. this is his obituary in the state times advocate, third of march, 1941. >> funeral of harry rivault was held sunday afternoon. he had been in ill health for several months killed himself by placing a 12 gauge pump gun to his head and pulling the trigger. the coroner jury brought in a verdict of suicide. >>

even better, the man in charge of the study, harvard professor of genetics, david sinclair, says this age reversal could work in humans. and i believe him. this is what he looked like two weeks ago. according to his study, the secret lies in a molecule called n.m.n. because when scientists fed the molecule to mice, they noticed it reversed aging completely in their muscles, meaning this drug could give you the muscle tone of a 20-year-old and allow you to spend a whole other lifetime not going to the gym. ( laughter ) if the promise of this research is realized, people everywhere could increase their lifespan to ages unseen in human history. so there will be so many people turning 100, that willard scott and smuckers will have their own channel. ( laughter ) and, yes, willard scott will still be around, and, yes, willard scott is still around. ( laughter ) , of course, with many fewer people dying and just as many being born the fight for scarce resources is going to get tougher, which is why prescott pharmaceutical is provide to introduce its age-reversal supplement, i can stick. if
