. >>> joining us for the rest of the program today, stephen king, chief global economist at hsbc.to see you. >> good morning. >> how are you putting in events in eastern europe into the mix in terms of the impact? >> this morning we had a dip down, slightly weaker than expected for german manufacturing pmi. chris williamson from market who helps to compile that along with you guys. >> yes. >> i couldn't see anything where firms were talking about russia. he says i still think there must be some kind of impact. but hard to quantify it. >> it's one of the great unknowns where you have the political upheavals. it's tricky to work up precisely what the impact will be economically. we did work years ago at the time of 9/11, to find out what these kind of shocks meant for the economy. there's no real pattern. sometimes you have a shock that seems large but has a relatively small small economic impact. i think what is clear, though, the talk about sanctions and so on is something which is potentially more damaging from a european perspective compared with a u.s. perspective. no doubt the

we can't allow the radicals in the house like stephen king, a man who says that the dreamers are drugdealers, we can't let people like him determine the fate of this legislation. that is what has happened in the house. here's a suggestion to resolve the impasse. it is fairly reasonable. let's pass immigration reform today. in 2017.ake effect republicans don't trust president obama. let's give them a chance to read the bill under president rand --l or -- under represented or tedenator rand paul cruz. i hope republicans will consider this offer. it is time to show some compassion and start acting. if they say no to this offer, we will suggest there will never be a time when house republicans are willing to act on immigration. senator durbin. >> thank you, senator reid. we are about to celebrate an anniversary of a year since the senate passed its bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill, a bill that i worked on mr. schumereague and many democrats and republicans who believe that we can do this, and we did it. at a time when people were skeptical that congress could do anything o

he's like the stephen king of economic treatises. what to you make of this, art? always think no one faults liberals for good intentions. unfortunately, it's on our dime. when they run out of dimes they keep needing more dimes to keep it going. and i wonder if it there's a lesson the way heng of health care is rolling out right now. what do you think? >> i think it's very much so. a warm heart as you say without a clear eye is absolutely immoral. and just seeing lyndon johnson, honestly, neal, sent shimmers down my spine. he did it in detroit, governor romney right there, 1.68 million people back then, now it's less than 700,000 people in detroit. black unemployment rates have gone up, black participating rates have gone down since then. if you look at the u.s. in 1984, we were number one in education in the world of the oscd countries. today we're below average. i mean, lyndon johnson talked about how he was going to create peace. but we all know how that turned oust. the stock market since lyndon johnson took office from '66 to '82, the dow jones declined in rea

one of the callers mentioned my good friend stephen king, and he has had a solution along the same lines that i think would be extremely effective, and that is if you are a business that is found to have hired people that are illegally here, then you lose all of the deductions as business expenses for those people that you paid. every dime that you paid them does not get to be a business expense. you have to put that back on your books. it means there will be back taxes to pay, that businesses could not possibly afford to be hiring people that are illegally here if they know they are going to have to end up adding that money back to their books when they have deducted as business expense. it would really get their attention in a hurry. the line for is on democrats from chicago, illinois. caller: good morning, how are you doing? guest: all right. caller: i noticed republicans are good at throwing the rock and hiding their hands behind the back. my question to you, mr. gomer -- every time i see you on tv, i crack up. 10 weeks ago they had a bill in the senate -- i know it is not your divis

they are pretty much unless i have john grisham or stephen king, i don't even ever get to sell rights that don't also include the digital rights. the publisher absolutely insists on taking those digital rights. the only time when that is different is if the author is already huge success in the digital realm. if they achieved best-sellerdom on amazon or wherever, you can leverage that and go to the publisher and say would you like to talk about distributing the print books for my client and he retains his rights because he has shown you that he is very successful in reaching his audience directly and it is that space right now for editors, aspiring authors that presents all kinds of opportunities. your own work. and to also go to the audience directly. this of stocks in publishing, that is the good part, if they know how to work and leverage those opportunities because then they can cut out the middleman, they can cut out me, they can cut out latoya smith, go directly to the audience if they know how to find them. >> i do want to say this is really interesting because in our case, we

certain that the majority of republicans in the house have their stomachs churn when they see stephen king stew spiew that kind of rhetoric. but rather than stand up to him, they give him the keys to the kingdom of immigration reform. just look at what happened after king protested. there was no kids act introduced. look for the text of the kids act on line. interest doesn't exist. there's no bill. not only was the kids act never introduced, but house republicans actually voted nearly unanimously to resume deporting more than children who have had committed no crimes. now, another republican, jeff denham, a republican from california, who is also an air force reservist, recently proposed to let young people who came here illegally earn status by enlisting in the military. they loved america so they would enlist in the military and risk their lives for this country. here's what king said. paraphrasing him, i know many of us do not want to vote on immigration but we can at least tweak -- here's what denham said. he said i know many of us do not want to vote on immigration, but can we at leas

the parent company leader is here, stephen king, and thank you for your time.ng to figure area out what happened and why as i am sure you are. two in critical condition, three in serious condition, how are they doing? >> the information that we have is eight performers are still hospitalized. they were serious, but none were life threatening. one of the performers have been discharged. our thoughts and prayers are with the performers as they recover and their families as well because this was traumatic. we look forward to continuing the investigation so we can find out what happened so it never happens again. >> let me get to the cause and why in a moment. what injuries did they suffer? >> i cannot go into great details on specific injuries. consistent with falling 30 feet which is the distance they fell. >> head, neck and back? >> leg injuries, a variety of injuries. we are not releasing specific information on what those are but we are thankful none of life-threatening and they will all make a recovery. >> let's pray for that. what happened? how much can you

but even according to stephen king of the bill was brought up it would pass.e added about one hedger's 20 republican members could possibly go to yes on this immigration bill. given the broad support that supposedly exists in the house i would say choose speaker boehner what would you wait for? if you want to pass immigration reform and the vast majority of members to schedule it for a vote. does not have to be our bill. but don't do our bill. , love and her own ideas. but the problem is the house republican leadership is too afraid was steve king cole's "the 50 or 70 republicans that are against any immigration bill. it is time for the house republican leadership to decide if they stayed with the majority of the american people and the supposed said majority or if they really that steve king continued to dictate the policy of the republican party on immigration. just to be clear right now he is winning. he said last week called back if i had the authority to kill everything immigration wise what comes through the house of they handed me the keys to the kingdo

underestimation of support in the house for the senate bill, but it shows that even according to stephen king if the senate bill were brought up for a vote it would pass. he added that about 100 to 120 republican members of the house could possibly vote yes on an immigration bill if it were presented for about. given this broad support for immigration reform that supposedly exists in the house, i would say to the speaker and a republican house, what are you waiting for? if you want to pass immigration reform and you say the vast majority of their members want to pass immigration reform, schedule immigration reform for a vote. does not have to be -- i think that is a good bipartisan down the middle not too liberal, not to conservative approach. but don't to our bill, do another bill. come up with their own ideas. that's fine with us. all tell you the problem. the house republican leaders are still too afraid of what steve king cole's the 50 to 70 republicans who would fight until the last drop of blood against any immigration bill, in the immigration bill. it is time for house republicans -- t

we cannot allow the radicals in the house like stephen king, a man who says that the dreamers are drug dealers, we cannot let people like him to determine the fate of this legislation, and that is what has happened in the house. here's a suggestion to resolve the impasse. it is very reasonable. let's pass immigration reform today, make it take effect at the beginning of 2017. if republicans do not trust obama, let's give him a chance to move the bill under president rand paul or president theodore cruz. to be clear, delaying implementation of a migration reform is not my preference, but i feel so strongly this bill needs to get done i am willing to show flexibility. i will do whatever i can to help pass this important bill. we need to get it across the finish line. f done seriously, show some compassion. senator durbin? >> thank you, senator reid. we're about to celebrate an anniversary of a year since the senate passed its bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform bill, a bill that i worked on with my colleague senator schumer and many of the democrats and republicans who believe t

it is the story of stephen king who wrote a novella which this story is based on, he was paid, theren option for his little novella. $5,000. that's it for what became "shawshank redemption." he never cashed the check. he sent it back to the guy who wrote the script with the inscription, in case you ever need bail money, love, steve. i thought it was one of the great little stories of all time. another story that caught my eye. i wanted to talk about this, baseball, everyone thinks i'm not a big sports fan. i am a fan of corporate intrigue. >> you may have found a way to combine corporate intrigue and baseball. >> bud selig is trying to appoint his new successor and there's a whole debate inside the mlb about how this is all taking place. jerry reinsdorf who owns -- >> white sox. >> white sox in chicago, i'm sorry, is in a big fight with him. they've been allies for a long time. he's trying to up-end the whole plan. you should know it's not in this story but who wants to be the commissioner of baseball who's not on the list? do you know? >> i know bob iger's name has been thrown out.

time i was in first grade all the way through high school i was always the one that was had the stephen kingbook you know talk to my friends or hang around i was tucked into bed in this one but yeah so i did a number called interest in the interest in yes in a cabin in the in the in the sort of true to life frightening even though the circumstances are extreme and extraordinary the the context for it is very human a very human story of a woman whose dog goes rabid and she's trapped in the car like cujo you know that was really just about a woman trying to protect all games on a watch on the page where you can't be there are you in a man's world well i think that the beauty especially for television is that you say executive producer now and the first couple names that come up off your head are women and so that's where the show up to i love shonda rhimes a huge fan of scandal and i was a huge fan of grey's anatomy and she's just a force you like to turn the show on or i do because that's exactly what it is that we're doing you run the show we're the captains of the ship keep the train on the

(laughter) >> i was born in '65 and i was always listening to spanky and our gang and my dad listened to judy collins. no, but i had a happy memory. there is a positive element to it which is like you recognize parts of your life. but i really wanted to tell the story that our view of the '60s has been passed down by a certain generation that was even a little bit older than you and i are. and they have a very rosy picture -- >> stephen: the baby boomers. yes. >> stephen: they won't let us stop thinking about it? >> they think they invented sex, drugs, you know. >> stephen: yep. o they have a view of it that is a child's view of it. so i wanted to say what would it be like to be an adult who lived through fairly interesting things like world war ii an
