i was a pprised by this by our union leadership and as i have with treasure island in general and i'mhe is the infrastructure type guy and i had a chance to work with him through public works and mohamed to make sure this project got done on time and within budget. that's true, right, mohamed? [ laughter ] that's why i think the entire fire commission is here because not only do they know how important this is, but they also wanted to show their appreciation for the work that was done here because it is the quality of life that the firefighters have to live on a daily basis in being out here. i want to just thank everyone from the union, the firefighters themselves, battalion chiefs, the chief herself who led me on a personal tour here and of course treasure island and all the different agencies represented here from the department of emergency management to our building inspectors and inspection was done here by the fire department and staff. we all collaborated together to make sure this got done. i'm thankful because the station will be occupied immediately. people want to make sur

so i think the ability to talk to unions, to talk to union leadership, and to make sure that we all workogether for the best goals of our city i think is the way to go. you know, the concept of standing up and fighting back and beating down, it doesn't work in a democracy. you need to cooperate. you need to have conversation. you need to negotiate, especially with city employees. you need to negotiate fair contracts that are fair to the public and fair to the workers and i think we can do that. we've done it over the years. i mean, unionism, you know, is denigrated these days by the right, but if you think about the 40-hour work week, weekends, child-labor laws, you know unemployment compensation, workman's compensation, all those things were a result of bargaining between union and management. and i think if you respect that situation and not try to change the dynamic of it, i think you'll be better off and more successful. >> yeah. so much has been made of the -- well, let's call it the pension crisis in philadelphia. you allude to it there. it's not unique to this city by any stretch,

that the manchester working men wrote to lincoln in the winter and wrote him praising his leadership in the union war and his decision to issue the emancipation proclamation. and they connected the freedom of american slaves with their own struggles across britain and lincoln wrote back and agreed with them, we are fighting for similar things, universal human equality. and there it still stands and go and visit that if any of you happen to be in manchester. it isn't a big tourist destination. not that many people know about that, i don't think, but those who do, seem to enjoy the connection of civil war history and the connection with the united states. it still has its critics. one review on tripadvisor.com and two stars out of five. lincoln had enormous hands and untiedy hair. maybe the artist was having a bad day. not often that i get to use tripadvisor.com as a lecturer as a civil war historian. back to london, it was july 1920, the year after the manchester dedication that they finally unveiled the statue in london. and this was a much grander affair. presenting the statue was u.s. secretary

there was always a division the trade unions understood the leadership and with communism meant for the workers. my mother and father lived in moscow from 29 to 36 and he was arrested she got out of russia because she put me on her passport as a british subject. we we've lived and i we lived and i grew up in greenwich village in the 40s. her friends norman thomas sydney, james burnham, many of the leaders of the socialist movement if you will in those days. i was a child in that world and the world and my mother entertained refugees and i would hear as a child these god awful stories of those that escaped as communists. i grew up learning about what it all was. i remember her jokes. one of them was adam and eve are communists. they lived on for its and vegetables can have no clothing to wear and thought they were in paradise. [laughter] that's one of them. there was another one where they visited a village and an old woman is complaining that no, we don't have clothing. we can't get new shoes. there's nothing in the shops which of course was under the communists. we had nothing and they

impression or opinion on whether you think perhaps the union, beginning at appomattox, was too lenient on the confederacy, particularly its political leadership, and that impact on the success of reconstruction. david: that is a great question, sir, long examined by monday morning quarterbacks about the moral aspects of the civil war. by any legal measure thousands upon thousands of southerners had committed treason. if you resigned your commission in the u.s. military to take up guard -- take up arms against your government, that is treason. if you resign your seat in congress to join the political movement against your government, that is treason. that is one thing. at the end of the war, it was abraham lincoln's vision, and many other people were with them on this -- he did not want this war to end in enveloping guerrilla warfare that might have gone into the hills and mountains to the west of us for months. that would have been the worst possible kind of ending. that is a clean ending they are reenacting. another matter to ask, what about the political leadership? should members of the confederate cabinet congress perhaps the generals --

it was in about 1901 thanks to the leadership of the senate, senator mcmillan saw the need to revitalize washington, d.c. and we had a mcmillan plan in washington union station was built as an anchor to that plan. in the early 1980s it had fallen into major disrepair as that rail travel but again fortunately to the leadership of congress the u.s. rc union station we develop a corporation was established as a public-private partnership with the goal of reintegrating and redeveloping outstation as a multimodal transportation center and also commercial center that would revitalize the neighborhood and i think we can see 30 years later that it certainly achieved those goals. it is now time however, to go into the next century and once again rebuild and building new transit oriented development and link to each inside of the city and the neighborhoods of capitol hill, gnome and the downtown. and so two years ago amtrak announced its vision plan for 2012 after a number of partners involved in that plant including usrc, a nonprofit and to developers as well as the city another regional entities. so just to briefly give you a vision for that plan it entails

union's history. not only to the u.s. leadershipeadership boycotted it also situation with ukraine, and angela merkel, what she did is lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier and also used it as an opportunity to present about ukraine and say, look, you are not doing enough. it does not seem to have gotten very far, because we are getting seeingadimir putin is that this is an opportunity to you are the ones you brought this about. you supported the uprising against former president yanukovych, and that is why we are in this problem in the first place, so as john pointed out, home is on vladimir putin's turf. on the other camp, he is a president, and secretary of state is only secretary of day. i think the u.s. needs more from then -- them then we need from them. so, john, is this a win-win for vladimir putin? you're talking about a president whose rating are in the 80% range. it seems like domestically, he can do no wrong. john: he is playing the nationalist card, as indira said, and it is interesting. if you look at that, w

union station was billed as an anchor to that plan. in the early 1980s it had fallen to major disrepair acid rail travel but again fortunately to the leadership of congress the u.s. rc union station redevelopment corporation was established as a public private partnership with the goal of reinvigorating the station as a multimodal transportation center and commercial center that would revitalize the neighborhood's. i think we can see 30 years later that it has achieved those goals. it's now time however to go into the next century and once again rebuild and build a transit oriented development and link the eastern side of the city and the neighbors of capitol hill noma and the downtown. two years ago amtrak announces vision plan for 2012 under a number of partners involved in the plan including src. we are nonprofit and two developers as well as city and regional entities. to give you vision for that plan it entails preserving the historic building but completely rebuilding all the infrastructure behind this facility. new rail yard, new cap mary. that infrastructures 100 years old down is not working well and certainly not what the northeast

leadership of the city's police union is not on board with all the changes. police patrolman's association, president steve lummis, told a reporter quote, it's going to get somebody killed. there is going to be a time when someone isn't going to want to do that paperwork, so he's going to keep that gun in its holster. i'm joined tonight by nina turner, former ohio state senator, who has been a stalwart supporter of trying to get positive change taken place in communities when it comes to law enforcement interacting with communities. senator, good to have you with us tonight. what's your response to loomis saying that more paperwork is going to get somebody killed. what about that? >> well i'm shaking my head hard, ed. you know we need -- this is a time we need to be building relationships between police and the community. you cannot have the president of the police union in cleveland saying things like that. and that's one of the reasons why the citizens are so upset right now, because there seems to be a willingness among the police union that they don't wan

federalization of screeners as a boost to unions who would organize them, and democrats, who would recruit them. mcinturff: the people who are in the leadershipip was digging in its heels public opinion stood firm in favor of federalizing screeners. initial polls by the washington post and time/cnn found overwhelming public support r federal takeover of airport screening. because if you're a member of congress from the tim you step off a plane when you go back to your congressional district, the people in the cabs the people in the airport, the people you meet in town meetings, your donors, your friends, your neighbors you know what they all say is, "hey, what are you going to do about..." fill in the blank. and when they get those kind of issues where everywhere they go and everyone they talk to is saying, "what are you going to do about x?" they come back and say "wow, guess what people are really riled up and they want us to do something." and guess what, congress acts. poussaint: despite the clamor for federalizing employees the republican leadership of the house refused to budge. they succeeded in passing a bill that would keep screeners

leadership positions. lori: the temperance union had organizations that were mostly men. the anti-saloon league, the prohibition party. there were all sorts of men involved in temperance. they did not need that part of it, that aspect. >> lots of questions raised. so much more to learn. what you are just saying touches on one of the thoughts that popped up for me. temperance, the push for temperance. i was wondering if that had an impact on turning a lot of men off the idea of women getting to vote because -- at least that they did not drink themselves. a lot of men say no way do you let these women get the vote because i don't want to lose my right to drink. a few years ago i wrote a white paper on the history of social movements in the u.s. the census data is broken down about race and class. my understanding is the woman's movement grew out of the abolitionist movement, were a lot of middle-class women got their training in the abolitionist movement. there were also a lot of working-class women involved early on. in 1840's, 1850's, you had all of those bloodbaths going

grow and draw widespread praise today for her leadership and stern action, no surprise to neighbors, though it was a surprise to the baltimore police union who said mosby's decision to charge the officers was an egregious rush to judgment. former maryland congressman and former naacp president disagrees saying mosby is driven by a desire for fairness. >> i think she's very thorough. >> i think she's a very fair person, very strong woman. i believe she's looking for justice. >> reporter: mosby's father, mother and grandfather all police officers, so when mosby vowed to be more aggressive on police misconduct as state's attorney, perhaps she was well suited to make such promises. mrs. lucas got to know mosby during her campaign and points to her roots in boston's inner city. >> she has been through the same thing that a lot of people have went through in baltimore. >> reporter: something that we heard over and over today, the more people we talked to, the more people would tell us watch out for marilyn mosby. they say she is going places whether it is in this city or beyond, four months into her term, still a lot of work to do before achie

was about in 1901, thanks to the leadership of the senate, senator mcmillan -- saw the need to revitalize washington, d.c. and we had the mcmillan plan and washington union station was built as an anchor to that plan. in the early 1980s, it had fallen into major disrepair as had rail travel. but, again, fortunately to the leadership of congress, the usrc was established as a public/private partnership with the goal of reinvigorating and rebuilding that station as a multimodal transportation center and also a commercial center that would revitalize the neighborhoods. and i think we can see 30 years later it certainly achieved those goals. it is now time, however, to go into the next century and once again rebuild and build a new transit oriented development and link the eastern side of the city and the neighborhoods of capitol hill, noma and the downtown. and so two years ago, amtrak announced its vision plan for 2012 and there are a number of partners involved in that plan, including usrc, a nonprofit, and two developers as well as the city and other regional entities. so just to briefly give you a vision for that plan, we -- it entails, of course, prese

ump, the union for a popular movement -- hopefully nicholas sarkozy wants to change the name, but not everyone within the organization supports the decision. talk about how much this is a leadership test for nicholas sarkozy. clovis: basically this name change is at the heart of nicholas sarkozy's political comeback, and therefore it has not pleased all party supporters . including two former prime minister's. the prime minister under the former french president, jacque chirac. these two men are clear opponents of nicholas sarkozy, two men who want to run in the next presidential election. they are trying to put nicholas sarkozy aside, which is quite difficult when you know the personality of nicholas sarkozy. ultimately, they agreed to put the name change down to a vote. we said earlier it is going to be on thursday and friday for the big ump congress. what is interesting in all of this is that in a recent poll a majority of french people are opposed to the name change. you have 73% of the french who are opposed to it, and more than half the french people feel that they republicans is a name that sounds too american, not representative enough of french values. beyond the legal b

we had the leadership in 1901 and 1981 to make sure that washington union station was one of the most iconic multimodal transportation systems in the world. we definitely need to step up with funding sources creativity, and possibility. senator breaux: thank you very much for that update on an important project. and to thank the panel is. if any of our panelists have a question they are welcome to ask him. -- them. speak up a little bit. i am old and death. -- deaf. >> i'm just curious -- this may be overly simplistic, but how much is expected to be public funding, and how much is going to come from the private side? >> we just started the master development plan. we're hoping in the next year to 18 months to go through the details. but we have multiple potential sources of funding. we are currently nonprofit funded primarily through parking, for example. we also have the bus company, so i think we will have multiple areas we can monetize, but the reason that sort of flexibility is going to be so critical is to be able to bring these different kinds of sources together and be able to

employees international union, argues that the values instilled in her catholic upbringing led her to her position as a leader. this helped shape the outlook of labor's leadership over generations. the impact of catholicism on labor's vision in the u.s. is also, i think, also evident. the concept of the living wage which has been revived over the last couple of decades, as some of the people in this room well know, has been theorized and popularized more than a century ago by catholic theologians, john a. ryan. the pastoral letter written by american bishops after world war i on what they called reconstruction helped legitimize and popularize the idea and vision for labor in the years leading towards and culminating in the new deal, it was a vision called industrial democracy. the bishops endorsed this vision, which became sort of central to the labor movement and articulating of its goals in the mid-20th century. clearly, catholic influence also helped minimize the impact of socialism and communism within the u.s. labor movement. many scholars have written about that. it is the thing that most folks i think are familiar with. but we shouldn't look at catholici

leadership latched onto an idea it called trickle down economics. and then they got to work. they attacked wages. they attacked pensions. they attacked health care. they attacked unionstacked science. they attacked financial regulation. they attacked all the pieces that had built america's great middle class coming out of the great depression. why? why? why go after hard working people? why go after seniors and students? why? to give bigger breaks and more special deals to those at the top. trickle down economics was nothing more than political cover for helping the rich and powerful get richer and more powerful. [ applause ] trickle down economics cut the legs out from underneath america's working class. and those policies didn't end just in the 1980s. i want you to look at the republicans running for president in 2016.d% sometimes i listen to them and i think, whoa, you didn't go to legoland. you went to fantasy land. i mean, really. some of these guys took one spin too many on the teacups ride just across the street. >> we're going to take a break here, come back and talk about this. i want you to think about this. can you imagine hillary clinton giving that speec
