smiley i want to begin by stating i'm an admirerrer.ed by your tipping to accept sponsorship of your pbs tv program by wal-mart. >> guest: i figured that question in -- how deeply in this program -- i knew it was coming. >> host: well, he sent it before the show. >> guest: i already raised that because -- i was going to scheme three hours without being asked the wal-mart question. some question i get asked. there's always an obama question, a wal-mart question. and so the short answer is, wal-mart has been my sponsor for 17 years. 17 years on my radio and tv work, wal-mart has been a sponsor. we just did a new deal a among are month ago that extends for three years so i will have a relationship with wal-mart for 20 years. i appreciate the support wal-mart has given me over 20 years. having said that, i say all the time that there are no perfect companies. in this country. some of the greatest companies in the country have had lawsuits filed against them for all kinds of things, npr had a major lawsuit for race discrimination. coca-cola

smiley. oh the semesteres over now and you're back in here asking me to help you when you failed in this class? okay. so she just laughed at me. and i knew what that meant. so i i'd already been given a job. offered a john -- i'd gone to intern for him for a semester. went back to indiana to finish my degree. got into the trouble in the last semester of school, even though i got a job waiting for in the los angeles, and so i had to make a decision. do i stay here for another semester and take this class all over again, or die go to l.a. and take the job? that i've been offered itch went to l.a. and took the job. i never lied about having my degree because they'll knew i was going back to finish up so i went back to l.a. and took the job. nobody asked me, did you graduate. the truth of the matter is that years went by before i finally got back and finished that course and actually get my degree. it was funny because so many years had passed before i actually did this, that by the time i finall

and what it said is, quote, i'm quoting from smiley not yates or anything else, i'm quoting from smiley. the term was not one of uncertain meaning when incorporated into the constitution. what it meant when adopted, it still means for purposes of interpretation. a legislature was then the representative body which made the laws of the people -- >> that's true, but i -- see, smiley doesn't help him, i don't think, but it helps you still less. because that was the question in the case. everybody assumed, nobody denied, that it's those people in the bricks over there that are making this law. but the question is, are they legislating when they're doing it? nobody denied they were the legislative power. here we have a different question. that is -- >> respect -- >> is this the legislative power received by referendum in the -- the reason i say smiley might help is simply because it says be a little flexible about that. >> i think it says a little bit flexible about the lawmaking authority of the state legislature. so don't think you've been given some new key that allows you to make laws wi

. >> host: tavis smiley, you list jesus christ and paul robison, two of your influences. >> guest: yeahr, isn't it? [laughter] i was raised in a church as i mentioned earlier pentacostal church, and i've said for all of my life that i call them the three fs, the things that mean the most to me, faith family and friends in that order. i wrote a book called "keeping the faith," i close my show on pbs by saying thanks for watching i'm tavis smiley, keep the faith. i'm always trying to remind people that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. that's what faith and hope really are, the evidence of things hoped for -- the hope of things, but even when you don't have the evidence to see how things are going to work out it's always possible. i make a distinction all the time, and here's why i say "keep the faith" all the time i make a distinction between optimism and hope. optimism suggests there's a particular set of facts circumstances or conditions, optimism suggests there's something you can see feel or touch that gives you reason to believe things are
