one political scientist looks at the union government, and the federal government of the union and in the confederacy and he said that was the lead by a fine state and the states never had a government that big until the new deal. they seceded on states' rights because they had to this enormous apparatus. they conscripted within a year. think about that with state power then they pass taxes within a year, and had agents all over the south literally taking food out of the barnes. they impressed the men's slaves and that is what is fascinating is the huge slaveholders go to war to protect slavery then they find out the new government is there to protect there slaves in war but it turns to use those to win the war. there was the tussle between the slave owners and confederate -- federal befriend the also wrote the amendment that congress could never abolish slavery they had a problem of sovereignty and could not reach the slaves for a meal -- male bodies they could now reach him without the permission of the owner they had codified them as private property and they had to live with that.

the european union and the rest of the world. we need to work together to apply ourselves to building a better future together. as jack delauro also said of this present crisis, europe does not just need firefighters, it needs architects, too. and a first and urgent test must be to get europe back to sustainable employment and a return to real growth. there is nothing moreorve society and more crushing to the person than endemic unemployment, particularly among the young. with 26 million people across he union without work, 5.7 million young people, 115 million people in our union at risk of poverty and social exclusion. we simply cannot allow this to continue. an irish presidencies have always drawn practically fm the spirit of the founding treaties and the irish presidency has therefore put job creation at the top of its agenda. and the european council has agreed addressing unemployment is the most important social challenge we face. at least month's social summit, mr. president, rightly, you warned of the repercussions of the

san francisco which is tourism and the hotels and their conclusion with the labor union to come to an agreement that extends perhaps 5-and-a-half years of agreeing to a labor contract for all the 750 union members working in this hotel. you know, san francisco is incredible. i just came back from the international city cities of cork ireland, paris, france. they marvel at how well we have done things here in our great city and keep it going and remake it. they also have a sense that anytime their members come here, they are experiencing a huge amount of warmth from people who serve them. i know the quality of our hotels is one of the main stays of why we are such a really and successful tourist center for all over the world, not just in san francisco or california, but all over the world. these workers who have in past years probably didn't have such smooth negotiations in the past, we are reminded of that through some couple of decades where everybody struggled, but it's quite apropos that we have stressed the important collaboration of talking with people and making sure we understa

up the door for freeloaders to benefit from collective bargaining efforts without paying their union dues and now the g.o.p. is back at it michigan state senator mike sharkey has proposed another bill that would ban any cause for union representation contracts allowing for multiple unions to represent the same class of worker in the same workplace opening up the door for race to the bottom on union wages and benefits is it is it is it just this is just another ploy of the of the g.o.p. to dilute the power of collective bargaining and ultimately crush the power of the working class in the state of michigan and the rest of america. i think first of all why are you calling workers freeloaders no i'm calling the workers that are i'm calling the loss of their you know the larger share you know i can these guys are working hard for their money because they all have somebody who's all down in the hold up here doing and thug bodies on a second meal nobody is calling the workers the freeloader what we're saying is when the law was create it was created to create a group that will get free rid

most of the folks in union city are lifers. that is to say grew up around here, maybe moved here as kids from cuba or greece or someplace else, but here, once here, stayed within 50 miles of the place, went to local schools that nobody outside of east coast would know anything about, and when i go into those classes, i see some okay teaching. i see a lot, very good teaching, and i see some amazing teachings, that teaching that deserves to be on a documentary of good teaching. that just didn't happen. it happened because of the coaching, because of the mentoring, because teachers work together. that's another part of the story. you've got principles who build a culture so they are not working in isolation but working together, so you got an administration, a central administration that is figured out how to create out of the system of schools where people are doing their own thing, a school system for the common curriculum so a family's moved from one neighborhood to another. they get -- the kids get what's going on in school. it

they took quite a rest while the rest of the industry was actually preparing for a major war with our union over the course of the next, what would have been probably the next year or two, the hilton corporation said maybe there is a way we can avoid the drama and turmoil that is brought to this city all too frequently because of concessionary bargaining that some employers try to impose on the union. so, after several months we have reached an early agreement, our contract doesn't expire until august 2013, so the hilt on and our union reached and agreement. i think this shows a commitment to go the highroad. often there are too many hotels in this city that want to go the low road, the meridian and the hyatt corporation have been notorious for the way they treat their workers. mike dunne has shown corporations there is a better way of guaranteeing customer service and for workers that provide that customer service. this contract provides three things: no. 1, addresses food and beverage issues that is going to be an issue with this hotel where we have to get some of those under control and

we also have the trade unions also and the trade and the carpet and the engineers as well as the ironhers my goal was to have each of these unions and have identified a veteran's rep and then think them with the identify veteran's reps from the employers side and so there is a direct relationship, so that is progressing very well and on the more industry level. and i have been pretty successful in reading that in the enter agency employment, and most recently, it would have reached the director of apprenticeship for standards for northern california and our efforts for what is happening on the trade level globally to better serve our veterans. it began our work in progress and i will keep the board posted on any new developments. and things are progressing well, as an example, web corp has hired eight since january 2012. but since we have it for the employees so we can do it from the (inaudible) side, thanks. >> thank you, ted. >> thank you, ted. web corp has really done a fantastic job, in stepping into the veteran's recruitment area and really making connections with the agencies in

that coincided with the implosion of the soviet union under its own contradiction. some conservatives will tell you it was almost sort of like moses parting the red sea. they tear it all down. i don't think it was quite that. but clearly the truth telling to the soviet union was not a relevant and gave enormous hope to dissidents working behind the eastern block. domestically, they had a tremendously important impact on each other. they were both trying something, not identical but something very radical that was a kind of break with the economic policies and domestic policies of the past. the fact they were not isolated, that they could support to -- point to someone else on the other side of the ocean in charge of the important country who was doing the same thing, that make quite a difference, i think. you can see in the tributes paid to lady thatcher that people who work closely with president reagan said it made a difference. there is this impressive leader in europe who is close to him and share some ideas. host: was it vice versa for her in britain? guest: it

the soviet union needs to change. let's be strong. let's demonstrate our strength to some action such as deployment of the missiles in 1984. i was there. i watched it happen. it brought all of those out. the game is up. powerful way she made an impact on the world's situation. she had people who did not like the way she went about it. all the protesters were deploying those missiles. >> we have to leave it there. thank you very much for joining us today. world leaders have been paying tribute to lady thatcher including president obama who said she stood shoulder to shoulder with president reagan during the cold war. atn simpson takes this look margaret thatcher's is standing on the world stage. >> foreign policy provided some of her greatest successes. in the shape of europe, it helps bring about her downfall. when she first came to power, the lack of any real foreign experience was her greatest weakness. disastrous miscalculations of assuming that a woman prime minister would not resist if they invaded the falklands. against the bette

with the soviet union. because after all, if the iron lady felt this is someone we can do business with, then perhaps it was someone we ought to do business with. it was very, very important. she was of course a strong advocate of free market and of freedom. i heard your, a little bit of your broadcast earlier. she of course broke the oppressive grip of the trade unions in the united kingdom and she pushed privatization. so she had a very, very important role to play economically, but also geopolitically. >> one of the big issues that i recall is what was derisively referreds to as star wars, the strategic defense initiative. i recall interviewing her and she really had ronald reagan's back on a controversial issue. because missile deployment in europe and also strategic defense was not a given in europe. where in most of the countries at least, the green party and others, were very dominant. >> well that's correct. and she had his back on that, on missile defense. she also had his back in many respects on a
