. >> the main plantation in west baton rouge is sinclair.e harry and katherine jackson met. and it's also likely that the plantation is where your mother was born. and where kathryn died. >> i had grown up in the shadow of sinclair plantation but had never been there. and certainly never imagined i had a personal connection to it. but if that's where my great grandfather worked great grandmother died, and 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 sinclair. right here is the management. and then here it says negro quarters. so the layout in the past 100 years hasn't changed at all. and it kind of gives you an idea of where kathryn might have lived and where harry might have lived. now i have another document. this is his obituary. and the state times advocate 3rd of march, 1941.

sinclaire was happening then. he proved this was a joke." the tiems also con celd -- the times chronicled the story of a survivor they called chris from ellsworth air force base. on april 12, 2013, two dozen male officers gathered at a strip club including her commander. she was assaulted later that night, again according to the times -- quote -- "what christen countered according to the report was the same kind of cold shouldered skepticism on the part of her commander that chris had seen, behavior that was supposed to have changed with the military's vows to report those who reported sex crimes. further she was retaliated against which is now supposed to be a crime and was told by a commander -- quote -- "it's illogical for you to think that there won't be negative consequences to your reporting." as, she says, i was put on the shelf." why in the world would we want this commander who takes his team to a strip club and retaliates against a sexual assault victim to have the authority to decide if a crime was committed or not? it's insane an

we are all familiar with this book, the jungle, by upton sinclair, which shows horrific conditions in slaughterhouses in terms of workers being injured in terms of the safety of the food. i'll be hospital, i was working from the assumption we have gone past that. we have the food safety inspection regime, we have osha to protect worker safety, and i thought they slaughterhouse today was different from slaughter house of yesteryear. let's talk about the company, hormel, at the center of your book. talk about -- we all know that most important invention over the last 50 years have been antibiotics, the ipad and spam. the tins meat, which came from hormel. where did this company come from and how did it become as big as it is today? >> guest: hormel was founded in austin, minnesota, founded by george a. hormel, it's worth noting right off the bat that the family still pronounces the name hormel. it's a german name, not a french name, as the company was sort of rebrandded in the '70s at a time when americans were discovering french cuisine. but george a. hormel founded the company and rea

who was it, upton sinclair who said that -- how do i paraphrase this?to get a man to accept something when his salary depends on him not accepting something. the thing i keep hearing is that the cure is worse than the disease. and from everything i understand, even senator inhoff at one point acknowledged the reality of climate change until someone told him how much it would cost. i'm an entrepreneur and believe in the power of markets and innovation and i believe the same country that sent men to the moon, split the atom, cured polio can find a way to keep the power on without polluting. but it needs to be market based and we don't have a free market. we have privatized profits and we've socialized costs. for the market to come up with the innovations we need, the thousands of new companies that will create true energy independence in our lifetime and our kids' lifetime we need to put a signal in the market. there needs to be a price on carbon. you can't pollute with impunity in this country. you cannot dump toxic chemicals in a lake or river but that'
