the european union. the european union is changing all the time. union isto political getting more pronounced. we know that your friend, president juncker, published ?ast year -- how did this go the creation of a single european finance ministry with a single european finance minister by 2025. is that of the matter you cannot have a monetary union without a fiscal union and you cannot have a fiscal union without a political union. if you don't want to go to a political union and you were a bit evasive about that, mario, if you don't want a political union, then abandon the monetary union. francine: we are just running out of time. one more comment from carolyn fairbairn, and everyone can submit questions through the app that we talked about the four. also, this is the right time to vote in the poll. i will be taking questions from the floor. carolyn: i just want to raise a point that hasn't been raised yet, the importance of inward investment into the u.k. the u.k. is doing well in the european union at the moment. g7is probably in the top two countries. one of the reasons is we attract foreign

guest: the european union to most germans is more than just a union of states that work together, especially economically. the political union and a project of europe flying -- of unifying europe in peace is very important. we just have to see that germany about 70 years ago was in ruins. it lost the second world war and most other countries were very hostile against germany and the project of unifying europe put germany back on the map again. this is like one of the center pillars of german success, at least the germans feel so and the british leading europe, this would be a severe low against this project and this is what germans fear the most. brent: what about 53% saying there would be no difference to europe's economy if britain did leave? that is quite an indictment that says germans don't think britain is a big player in the eu economy. guest: perhaps germans don't feel the britons are a major economic player within the european union, but as i tried to point out already, germans think britons are very decisive for the cultural way of how europe is working and that is why germans want to keep the britons in the

in my view it is the best book to date written on the european union. he was the political counselor at the u.s. mission in brussels, the european union, luxembourg, and in munich, hamburg, frankfurt, mexico. he served on the state department in washington dc he knows the european union as few scholars and statement -- statemen do. >> thank you, john. thank you for coming. i appreciate your interest. things do not look good in europe. before the summer is out, britain might decide to leave the eu. facto little more than a protector of the international monetary fund, and the international monetary bank. schengen is in danger of being demolished. devastating terrorist attacks have occurred regularly in europe since the 2004 ledger and train bombings. the threat of jihadist terrorism remains throughout europe. how did this come about? and my book i contend the european union's commitment to ,an-european governments overriding powers of member states is eroding democracy in europe, threatening human rights, and putting the eu on a collision course with the united states. there

the politics of the eu? what does the refugee crisis mean for european political integration and the concept of an ever closer union? what is the future of the eu mean for the united states? and the transatlantic alliance. we will be trying to answer some of the questions this morning. we have an outstanding panel of experts with differing viewing on these ishz adiffering views e and the european union. i'm interested in the democracy question. european union represents a new form of governance. beyond the nation state in general and beyond the democratic nation state in particular. so before we get started, i'm going to quote three european leaders from the left, right and center, who in the very early days, right after world war ii, were concerned about -- this is before charles degall and margaret thatcher voiced their reservations, these three were concerned about the future of democracy in interegrated europ. from the left in 1950, british labor prime minister declared that britain, quote, would not accept that the most student economic forces in our country should be handed over to an authority that is utterl

i see the political activity of the unions. the section of black activists, organized by the naacp. we talked about how this isiance vote learning math into office as the first elected mayor of the city. although the coalition was short-lived, adult permanent low to the premises of power. looking at this moment from the multiracial lens renders it different. by connecting it to politics and to the larger world, a new scope of activism becomes visible. this multiracial perspective also allows for new continuity. the leader of the cities it militant african-american faction pictured here on the left, tj sutton, and activist on the east side, he carries it these experience of the straightforward. in 1948, he formed a tactical alliance with the mexican-american attorney general. and both men were elected to serve on local school. they're both representing their communities in a president and ways. soon after, the manteno -- middle, organized the loyal american democrats. it had a somewhat unorthodox name. its true purpose as an insurgent was as a civil rights organization. succeeded in

the same types of organizations. we have seen a huge decrease in union membership and so i think you would find that the sway of unions in politicstainly with the union membership decreasing, they don't have as much say i would say as they did 20 or 30 years ago. there's speculation, obviously, that the citizens united decision applies to the treasury funds of unions, just as it does apply to the treasury funds of corporations. therefore, they can have the same right to make these so-called independent expenditures. you know, to me the issue here is not so much whether or not you think they should be treated as the same, similar types of entities or if they should be treated differently which is what the union members and the unions claim. they say that they're nothing like a corporation. that's a whole different discussion that you have with the unions who have not been happy with some of the legislation that's come before them. >> meredith mcgehee has been on our show several times. for those not familiar with the group, talk about the campaign legal center. >> it's a nonpartisan, nonprofit working on issues of democracy. we wo

a creeping i am mer against of the kind of politics the european union was founded to reject an us versesity that tries to blame our problems on the other. somebody who doesn't look like us or doesn't pray like us, whether it is immigrants or muslims or somebody who is deemed different than us. you see increasing intolerance in our politics. loud voices get the most attention. remind you of the poem by the great irish poet wb yates where the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity. so this is a defining moment and what happens on this continent has consequences for people around the globe. if a unified, peaceful, liberal, pluralistic, free market europe begins to doubt itself, begins to question the progress that has been made over the last several decades, then we can't expect the progress that is just now taking hold in many places around the world will continue. instead we will be empowered for those who argue democracy can't work, intolerance and tribalism and organizing ourselves along ethnic lines and authoritarianism and restrictions on the press tha

- excuse me-- i was in charge of negotiations, i ran the picket lines, i was the political director of the farm worker's union, and i also directed the grape boycott on the east coast. and then after we cleaned up all the stores on the east coast, i went back to california and did the same thing on the west coast. so in many circles i was a very visible person. >> hinojosa: you were incredibly visible in terms of the workers themselves, too. i mean, you had such a close relationship with these farm workers. they saw cesar as a leader, but they had a very direct relationship with you. >> yes, they did. and one of the reasons is because as a founder of the union with cesar chavez, i was in on the ground floor, again as a negotiator with the contracts. i had my negotiating committees. and so people were used to seeing me in a leadership role. >> hinojosa: what was it that made you decide in the 1960s... what year was the united farm workers created? >> we started in 1962. >> hinojosa: 1962. so this was a very different time. and what made you at that moment just say, "you know what? i'm going to give up any prof

the brunt of political discontent. all of those military members, trade unions, and political parties agitating for equal pay and benefits, now the local governments have to deal with them. with the commencement of armed forces in algeria, and other conflict elsewhere, forced france to reconsider its options. in 1958, charles de gaulle spearheaded the enactment of a new constitution to address the crisis. french territories were offered two choices. accept the constitution the provided junior partnership in a french community, or reject the constitution in favor of immediate independence. in an empire-wide referendum, only guinea chose independence. here is a map of guinea. i will show you a few slides photographed from the referendum campaign. i don't think people in the back can see, but there is a motorcade. motorcyclists in the front and a convertible with charles de gaulle standing and apparently the national leader sitting by his side. the streets are lined with the rda, a political party that had branches and most of the territories of french west and equatorial africa, and spearheaded the no vote rejecting partne

"layinglution says, aside all differences of political opinion, we pledge ourselves to this." it is a fiction largely. the strategy here is the say this is not the old republican p

unions, but potentially all everywhere throughout the nation. so this thing could build and actually spread out to lots of other groups everywhere. third, there's the question of basic politicalalues. look, liberals see unions as a vital counterweight to employers who would simply hire the cheapest labor available and, therefore, have pretty lousy instruction in this case regardless of their quality. conservatives say that unions are unnecessarily running up the cost of government, making things more expensive than they should be. so you can see that down below it all, there's some real important political values here that are clashing with one another. >> definitely at odds. talk to us about how this all fits in with this current election environment we're in heading down to november. >> and nothing can escape the election environment, particularly this year in 2016. so someone concerned with workers' rights and collective bargaining, well, they're going to view this as a reason to vote for a liberal. a liberal presidential candidate who would nominate that ninth liberal justice we were talking about. but a person who favors flexible management and reduced government, well,
