that's why we're the home to boeing and microsoft, amazon, starbuck's, nordstrom's, the gates foundation, clean energy companies, global health and the most invent actiive and dynamic people in the world. that's why eastern washington, because of its agriculture, is called the refrigerator of the world. today it's our time. it's our time to practice the courage and compassion that has been handed down to us by our parents and grandparents. it's our time to rebuild our bridges and highways. it's our time to create jobs now and for the future. it's our time to keep our streets safe, and it's our time to give our young people the education and knowledge they will need to succeed in a world econo economy. we must succeed. you know, i just read a great new book. it's called "that used to be us." it's by tom freedman and michael ha handelbaum. for me, one part really stood out. for generation off generation, america knew how to win in the turns, they write. "win in the turns." what does that mean, exactly? in short, it means the winner hits the gas pedal when everyone else is hitting the brake

the factory. we asked jim axelrod to look into it. >> reporter: boeing has produced planes in wichita since the 1920semploying generations of workers like ted bates, an engineer for 34 years. do you feel grateful for a career at boeing? >> yes. yes. >> reporter: but now employees like bates are shaking their heads at how boeing is treating their home town. >> you lose respect for those people who can't keep a consistent story. it's not just about employees. it's about a community. >> reporter: in 2008, boeing asked kansas officials to help win a $3.5 billion contract for 18 air force tankers. wichita's mayor, carl brewer, says kansas had a long history of coming through for boeing. they've received $650 million in tax breaks over the last 30 years. >> that is an awful lot of money, and we thought that that really meant something. >> reporter: brewer, and the kansas congressional delegation, lobbied the pentagon hard. in return, boeing promised the tanker work would be kept in wichita, saving 2,100 jobs, and creating 7,500 more. and somebody looked you right in the eye and said, "we're going to be in

with the skin of the plane back on, the doubler does not fit. boeing the call to cut the piece in half. that's problem number one. problem number two, the correct procedure calls for two rows of rivets to hold the doubler in place. only one row is used. for seven years, the single row and the split-up panel have been carrying twice the load they should have been. >> they decided to alter the installation procedure and it wasn't an approved procedure. >> reporter: repair is certified to last 10,000 takeoff land cycles. by the date of the crash, this particular 747 has already gone more than 12,000 cycles. the repair is inspected but because of a sealant has been used over the gap in the bulkhead, cracks developing between the rivets are not found. this plane is a ticking time bomb. >> unfortunately the repair was insufficient and cracks started to develop over the service life after the airplane was returned into passenger use. there was no proper inspection procedure as well. >> reporter: as jal 123 passes through 24,000 foot, cracks begin to connect b

the chow halls. they make airplanes and other sorts of stuff. boeing makes aerospace. they're on tap to make the next generation tanker. dinecorp does everything to maintaining airplanes to overseas taking care of things. these numbers are huge, right? this is huge business. the only thing i will say to counter the critics, and i am agnostic, i am not a critic or supporter. i just point to 9/11. what i used to say is you do not get nothing for your money. you get something. let's remind ourselves that on 9/110, the nation faced an unforeseen tragedy. three weeks later we were dropping bombs in and around kabul with planes fielded decades before. during the quiet years, we develop a capability that was leveraged at a time when the nation needed it. but just remember this money is not as lining the see of combat watching. >> i'm going to play devil's advocate. here are 10 years later. we as the $1.40 trillion. we are locked in there. we cannot get out of afghanistan. do we gain anything from these 10-years? are we winning anything? >> that is hard to answer. i was there l

there is a big fight between the french company and boeing. boeing and got the award. there in the process of making 18 tankers right now for a fixed price of $42 billion. >> meaning they can not? >> if you exceed that, you will pay for it. boeing will bilbies for profit. -- will build these for-profit. right now boeing cannot make it for other companies. it is not looking like they will make money currently. that is where the program is. >> we are out of time. ward caroll, editor of military.com, what can people find on your website? >> every day we have breaking news that is of interest to those with military interests. and for those who want to know what their benefits are in simple terms. we are the place to go. if you want to find guys used to work with, this is the place you go. if you want to see videos, this is the place to go. the news is the most popular on our website followed closely by the videos. >> ward caroll, and it's you soy.com sharthank much for coming by. >> it is my pleasure. >> for a copy of this program call 1877-662-7726. for free transcripts o

not a single boeing worker was hurt by their decisions. in fact, just the opposite. a commitment from boeing to estate to a community, to work for us is a real commitment, a proven commitment and we know the face of south carolina, would forever be changed. then this spring, the national labor relations board reared its head, suing boeing and what will surely be remembered as one of the most fundamentally un-american decisions ever handed down by the federal government. in south carolina would not stand for it. from every corner of our state, we protect our federal delegation coming business leaders and most importantly, the citizens of south carolina. and boeing stood tall under tremendous pressure from the president in his union allies, this great american company said no, we did nothing wrong and we refuse to cave. and late last year the nlrb back down and dropped his frivolous lawsuit. please take a moment to join me in expressing our gratitude to a great american and yes, a great south korean as he now has a home in the low country, judge michael looted, executiv

host: when it comes to the boeing issue, is that the cycle?t close to losing a mega business locating here. for all of the work of our legislators and what folks put in to bring a company like boeing here to a right-to-work state, the obama administration almost cut the legs out from underneath that. that is 1000 direct jobs and an immediate impact on the jobs market. but what we we saw in bmw a few years ago, that has a ripple effect throughout the low country where suppliers open up businesses. there are thousands and thousands of businesses wentwhen a company like boeing comes here. that is one of the reasons that obama will lose next fall. we are not the only state that has been assaulted by interventionist policies from the federal government coming into the state. host: which of the candidates handled the boeing issue the best? guest: i do not know. i did not hear all of the specific answers. i do know the all talked about it. they also talked about the reversal the things they would do in the obama promise -- the obama policies. host: j

that just yesterday they were so concerned about but they also don't bother to point out the absurdity of boeing's reasoning for this factory closure being the market shrinking for contractors because of defense cuts now as we pointed out to you yesterday on the show our defense budget isn't really shrinking as the president himself said despite the four hundred fifty billion dollars in cuts that will be applied over the next ten years we will still be spending more on defense than we did at the end of george w. bush's second term and if you think about this new strategy that was unveiled yesterday which includes shrinking down our troop numbers relying more on new technologies and that probably means that the contractor market from security to developing new technologies weapons systems it's only going to grow it's just a few projects that are going to be put on the chopping block and they're probably the ones that have gone way over schedule way over price and are really a disgusting example of the money that our government throws at these contractors with little oversight and few requirements s

>> well, in fact, i think the boeing issue was one that has brought national attention to south carolina. it seems outrageous to most of us, that here are jobs ready to go in a state that desperately needs them and a president who says many' working for the middle class and yet, he's keeping a lot of people from the middle class from having a manufacturing job in a state that could desperately use them. so, i'm sure that could be a part of it. congressman, we're looking forward to being with us this week and a great host, charleston is a marvellous city and we'll see you next saturday when we have the huckabee forum two.

jobs are so widely sought after is that the unionized boeing manufacturing job is still one of the best benefits one of the best paid jobs out there so while for the u.s. macro economy it's good news that those jobs will probably end up largely in washington state milla noise state on the other hand for wichita it tells a story of communities that are still very vulnerable and it highlights that we're even less good at producing good jobs than we are producing jobs over the last few years i think it's a really important point to bring up and something i don't think i mentioned which is that in these all these new jobs created last month i think the majority of them were jobs for you know current couriers drivers you know truck drivers and people who deliver things so i think that tells a story too you know it's interesting max the other day we were talking about whether or not america is ready for a multimillion dollar president and mitt romney of course as i'm talking about and i want to put up this quote that i saw that suggests you know maybe maybe now we are mit professor p

so how does the mixing bowl interchange sound or the boeing bridge? names like that could become a reality under a proposal from virginia governor bob mcdonald who announced it last week as a new part of his 2012 transportation funding plan. mcdonald was selling naming rights for the state's transportation infrastructure, which means highways, bridges, interchanges. the money collected would help pay for the road upkeep. they say the plan is not a long- term sustainable source of revenue. >>> it's that time of the year when folks start to work on their tax returns to get you started. in maryland, there's a new law. you must notify low-income employees they might be eligible for the earned income tax credit. each year that tax return goes back to more than 80 million in -- $80 million in state refund dollars. >> what we know is about 20 to 25% of the people are not claiming this credit. we're leaving $110 million on the table, which is money that could be helping people pay rent, utility bills, to put food in their kids' stomachs. this is a real import

promoting capital moving in and out throughout the state and the board should not be allowed to we tell a business owner or business whether you are boeing or whether you are a small business, where you can and cannot locate your business. >>neil: well, i have looked into there when it was the fdr years and it is seen as pro union, and the fact is, it was more pro worker, the idea of the board is that it wanted to stab a bridge early on, between the workers and the bosses and it was simply a way to protect labor, to protect the american worker, and somehow it has gone from protecting the american worker, he and she who labor, and now, to, she and he who are part of labor unions. this is a very big difference and and it was not the original edict. >>guest: i agree. it is far above and beyond what it was originally created to do. the national labor relations board, one of the dampening things for business, it has told the business owners around the country if you try to go to a union state we will control you. if you try to leave the union state we will sue it. thank god boeing they attacked because boeing had the ability to defend itself

south carolina fought hard with feds over the boeing corporation where the labor relations people in d.c. tried to prevent boeing from moving to south carolina because it's not a union state. the case was settled and boeing is moving to the palmetto state but it was a nasty fight. the feds tried to intrude on economy so perry was shrewd to make that point. really in the end the governor of texas has no chance to get the republic nomination neither does ron paul. after saturday's vote it is likely to come down to a race between mitt romney and newt gingrich and rick santorum a far shot. the likely nail down the republic candidate once and for all. now, we will have charles krauthammer coming up. he has some thoughts about last night's debate. later on dick morris also will weigh in and we're coming right back. i wouldn't do that. pay the check? no, i wouldn't use that single miles credit card. hey, aren't you... shhh. i'm researchg a role. today's special... the capital one venture card. you earn double miles on every purchase. impressive. chalk is a lost medium. if you're not earning

the first way we felt it was with nlrb and what they did to boeng. boeingated 1,000 new jobs at the same time expanded 200 jobs in washington state. and president obama and the national relations board said you can't do that in a right to work state. well, you know what? we won that. they dropped that suit. we're doing just fine. but therch we went on to do great -- but then weapon went on to do great things. the people of south carolina said we want illegal immigration we form. i passed it. and president obama and the justice department stopped it. >> boo! >> president romney will fight for us to get that law passed in south carolina. and then we said, if you've got show a picture i.d. to get sued fed. if you have to show a picture i.d. to get into the debate last night, by the way. if you is to show picture i.d. to get on a plane, why would you not show a picture i.d. to protect the integrity of our voting process? we listen to the will of the people i signed a bill into law, president obama stopped i. guess what mitt romney wants to protect the vote in p

when the boeing 707 crashes into a hillside in oyster boy, the cockpit breaks off, killing the pilotsm the airport. miraculously, 85 of 158 people on board survive impact. they are pinned beneath the wreckage, but there is no fire. >> clearly the plane had been filled with fuel it would have been an incinerator. >> the ntsb report said the cause of the crash is human error. that simply the flight crew did not effectively manage their fuel or convey how low the fuel levels were. >> when we talked to the controllers today none of them were aware of a priority concern and the fuel concern. >> the crash of avianca flight 52 shows despite dramatic advances in aviation technology, clear communication from the cockpit to air traffic control is key to a safe flight. >> it reinforced an ongoing issue that we faced worldwide at aviation to make sure there's not only the transmission of a word but that there is a transmission of understanding. there's a comprehension. >> i think that our crew should have been more aggressive and more transparent in expressing the need to have a preferential trea

law, immigration law and of course the boeing story, and texas being a right to work state and that's working every day to push back on this administration. and those are stories that really resonate with the palmetto state voters. >> let me ask you, governor, because i've been following your speeches as you've been going around south carolina. you are talking about the success of texas. you are making comparisons about the obama economy, but you've also had some very harsh words about governor mitt romney who now has won iowa and new hampshire and you talk about days at bain capital and companies like this, they leave the carcasses behind. bain is a vulture capital company, they walked into south carolina, a company like gaffney, they picked the bones clean of those people who lost their jobs in the same mill. you say rather than restructural jobs they're trying to make money. and ethics get thrown out the door, make as much money as they can in a hurry. you know, when i hear that, it almost sound like occupy wall street, it doesn't sound like is be who is governing the staet state o
