it's not just unions. this is not and anti-or pro union bill. this is a bill if you look at all the stuff that in there. for example, there has been a study done about cancer. they want to do things in there that have failed in england, failed in canada, it's outrageous. you have to go out and pick everything out of bill. don't pick out one thing. the unions have done a very good job and much better at it than the federal government. >> the one thing that could have actually gotten everyone covered is a single payer health care system. we're down to throwing scraps. if we were in any other country we could cover everyone. the union's point if you are going take that off the table, make sure you don't kick us while we are going. 350,000 people in the uaw that are not at retirement, cover their health care costs. >> is lot less powerful. thanks everybody. >> coming up next, the same lawmakers bashing bonuses on wall street. they are handing out perks and giving tax dollars to folks that caused the big housing mess in the first place.se developing

it looks like the union unions e saying we're going after wal-mart. it feels to me that wal-mart jumped in bed with the unions. i don't like it. >> it's a checkmate. elizabeth: is it good or bad for wal-mart? >> it's great for wal-mart. they're saying, a, bring it on. these unions have not been successful in 30 years. so the idea that they feel it's strong enough to say bring it on to me says they know they got a checkmate. elizabeth: good or batted for wal-mart? >> great for wal-mart. they're not afraid of anything. we agree, honey. do you believe it? elizabeth: gary b.? >> it's terrific for war mart. the sad thing is if the unions have their way and win this fight, the wal-marts of the world are going go the same way as the airlines, as public education, as every other industry they brought down. elizabeth: mark? >> the unions are going to win this. whenever people organize and mobilize -- >> then we'll have another g.m. on our hands. >> no, we'll have workers rights, health care. >> that's great. >> wal-mart makes its money by exploiting workers. w

i remember each visitor to the soviet union has a long trip around the soviet union. they have to go to the lake and others and they thought it was very useful because there was very far from the possibility to reach reement. it was not very useful to sid in the white house or state departmentepeating the same word fro the one side and in no way whathe other side would answer and whave such people tt do it forever. it is like looking into the eyes of the people and understanding so mr. murphy was a very good person. >> guest: if he did that on purpose, he did not mention that to eisenhower. he got quite the town lashing and the white house. >> host: because he defies and nobody wants to do that from the state department. >> guest: that is true. when your father received that invitation, he writes in his memoirs tht he was invited to camp david to talk to eisenhower. he did not know wt camp david was prepared he asked his various aides in moscow andhey did not know and i asked the embassy in shington and they did not know either. is that true? is that possible they did

but the soviet union was a huge power. bordering the middle east with enormous capabilities for projection of power, with powerful fleets, enormous armies, huge nuclear capabilities and very large armies. and a great deal of ideological influence in the middle east especially in the 1960s. iran is a very small, relative weak country. they can't even produce enough gasoline. this is not a highly developing country but a developing country. with a relatively low g.d.p. per capita with a relatively low g.d.p. with domestic problems with very limited force projection capabilities. with a lot of influence, however, in the region and which is opposed to u.s. policy in a variety of ways. there are reasons for this. one of the reasons is the very difficult and painful history of american iranian relations going back to our participation in the overthrow of the last freely elected parliamentary government in american history and our support for the regime that followed following the 1979 regime revolution. be that as it may, what w

unions. then the employer started to harass unions. right now, most feeble have a union but they might lose their job. one in three workers fowould be fired. workers would be threatened that places would be close, they left a cuts, all things that happen very very often. this has made it harder for workers to have a union. we have been able to hold the standards for workers that have it. the stand as for other people is slipping away. -- the standards for other people is slipping away. if you look at the private sector rate of 7%-50% density, that would mean instead of having blue dog democrats, we would have a true blue democrats. it is not just about what is good for the workers, it is good for our country. we actually are a political army that can oube out there supporting families. when workers want to have a union, they can have one. it says that when employers violate the law, there will be strong penalties so they don't do it. the third thing is that if they want to have a union, they

but when they lifted unions, too often what they see is a remnant -- when they look at unions, too often what they see is a remnant of the parents economy, and not a path to succeed on their own. this is an issue doubled aside the future of the american labor movement. while we hear a lot about unions coming back into the afl-cio, and quite frankly, that is a personal priority of mine, but ultimately, it will not matter how many units are in the afl- cio if we fail to capture the imagination of the millenn ials. we ought to be clearer. the problem is not that they have some deep-seated hatred of unions. they don't. earlier this year, a study was done at for the sunday -- for the center for american progress pointed out that the support for unions is higher among young americans than it is for any other age group. the problem is that -- not that they dislike unions. they think we do a lot of good things. we do a lot of good things for our members and for others. the problem is that they do not think we have enough to offer them. that is not the way that it has to be. a few years back, the

the labor unions right now simply exist for one reason, to self-perpetuate receiving union dues and havingely amazing to watch the clip from the show last night where this guy is saying that president obama, i'm strong-arming you, buddy. and my answer to this would be they are showing themselves to be as ridiculous as many members of the american public think they are. what happened to pragmatism? what happened to competition and what actually happened to winning? maybe it would be great for the democratic party to lose the support of labor unions because a lot of labor unions is what holds america backs and keeps us from being -- >> they might win the suburban women and independents. >> absolutely. >> mike allen, have you had anything from the union in terms of their explanation as to why they would pursue health care reform only if it retains union pour? in other words, if there is health care reform beneficial to america but does not make the union more powerful and in make the unions less powerful because it reduces their negotiating leverage because everybody gets the benefits that ar

some are unionized. >> reporter: the ruling specified the union contracts were abrogated. so county employees could still suffer furloughs. >> if they are not unionized. although the judge went on to say that certain personnel rules of the county were abrogated, as well. that is a clear-cut violation if there are regulations that say you can't do this or that. the county can't just ignore it. it will have to be studied. it is not just prince georges county, or maryland. across the couldn't, county commissioner and mayors are trying to save money by putting employees on furloughs. certainly those who are unionized will have a weapon to prevent that from happening and it will put a further burden in the budget cutting. the further thing i would say about what why this is important, we are coming up to the flu season. i know governor o'malley personally is very worried, as is true of all federal and state officials about the swine flu epidemic coming through. and there are all sorts of concerns about having emergency responders work overtime to deal with the excessive patient

whatever. >> does the union movement -- how does the union movement need to change?ompared to wagner act unions of the 30's, are they going to be different of this century? >> i actually think the labor movement is changing already. for too long, we did not change. the world was global in the economy was global and we were not. we were looking thanks. a lot has changed. we believe that we had to organize and grow and we needed to support each other. we have to do it globally as well. we needed to figure out how to partner with unions around the country and around the globe to put pressure on them so we could win. i think that with teamsters, it was a perfect example partnering with the u.k. and to be able to collaborate across the ocean so we could win organizing rights for workers here. as a result, employees have rights like the never have had before. i think that the labor movement as a whole needs to think about how to support each other. if you think about what the teamsters are doing in the ports of our country, how to have cleaned trucks and be better for the

the union, the labor union, why would you do that? >> it's shocking. i think it's because barack obama always was elected by the unions and this is payback. he has put union people in virtually every agency, but this is the agency that's in charge of the monetary system, and he's going to be very much in favor of a hugely expansion airy monetary policy because he thinks that's what helps unions. glenn: ok. art, go ahead. >> steve and i wrote a book about a year and a half ago which really laid out these types of issues. we were very hopeful, at least we hoped that it wouldn't happen, but "the end of prosperity" is the name of it. he is doing everything we worried about. it is probably the worst economic administration i have ever seen. whether it's unions or whether it is not, this guy is making every single econ101 mistake you can make. he is doing mistakes on monetary policy, healthcare, cap and trade, you name it, he is making the mistakes. people will see the light, won't they, glenn? glenn: i think -- let me tell you something. we broke all record
