that's why we should cut ties to them altogether. >> why do government employees be able to unionized? >> people have a right to unionized. i think any group of workers has a right to unionized. i think unions historically played an important role in our country and that said, it is time to look the issues of not being able to fire people whether it is teachers or government workers. i worked in the clinton administration, and we had somebody who is a civil servant who never came to work. >> what is going on. in front of the congressional panel lois lerner didn't want to incriminate herself. she is paid by the taxpayer and she can plead the fifth? and in the aftermath she's not let go. she was put on administrative leave because she is part of the union. it drives us crazy. >> i think you can support idea of unionizing and still have it drive you crazy. the argument of not firing her right away, they want to get all of the information and find out what happened, but it sends a message to the american people to the irs. we can't plead the fifth if we are audited. >> wayne, what about the public s

the bigger picture is not to cut unions and cut the government influence. 50 people under a flat tax. with the power to regulate the favorites, you get cronyism and the unions are thriving. that's the only place they are thriving in government. >> it ust bothers me with the taxpayer that pays the employees, they can give money to the unions and they turn around and makes contributions to keep the same bozos that gave them the jobs in the first place. it sounds like the crony system, circle. >> you can explain how that is different than firefighter unions or police unions who are more likely to donate to republicans? do you oppose those as well and should they not be able to make donations? >> my concern is on the federal level. >> what's the difference? it's the same concept. why do they pick some unions to hate and some to like? >> excuse me. hold on. someone in kansas is paying taxes and the irs collects them and that money is given to the irs employees and the union said i like president obama because he keeps me in office that i can plead the fifth and i can keep my job. that's th

look, there's people with too much insurance, believe it or not. some of them aren't in unionsnd they cost more than single payer plans a are more beneficial. i don't think union members who negotiated these plans want to switch which doesn't have the dental coverage and other coverage wlu work at an investment bank or union. they have the plans that are tax deductible to the company. it is a ridiculous to carve out. it's widely consumed so much health care. this has to be fixed. unfortunately, we didn't address theissues. we extended the private system that currently exists. it's a litt bit worse. i don't think going back to the other way wilmake more hiring out there. >> jonas, we're only talki about insurance here. that's what this plan is all about. only about insurance. you're talking about one end of it. we have done nothing to work on the problem and that is health care. >>hat's right. >> well, the problem is heth insurance. people have health insurance and they can consume as much health care as they want with no real cost to them. there's no incentives to be healthy. t

let me talk generally about unions because one of the things people will say to me is this is a district in which the union has worked pretty closely pretty hand in glove with the administration to make things happen and the one example i tell you about is when kindergarten teachers complain to the union rep, what are they saying they should be doing? get out of here. are there union issues in this town? absolutely. there will always be tensions but what happened here and what happened in other places with strong unions, i think about a town in california where unions were so bitter they hung a sign on the road outside of town, new teachers be where, this school district is unfriendly to you. it is angels compared to that. come back ten years later and everybody is talking to everybody else. what they did was bring the union to the bargaining table, not just about money but program and policy. you guys are educator's, not just in it for the job security. let's talk through what it is week think we need to do. more and more that is happening and that is a great thing. it is just essential

union. many people in russia blame him for the economic conditions in which they live. they blame him for the end of the country that many felt was the cradle to grave welfare state instead of a totalitarian system. i have great respect for him. you can also see people's weaknesses. you talked about all salvador. what about the priests and nuns? to me, that is the people power in that situation. flm was a revolutionary force seeking power. the people power were trying to alleviate poverty, trying to find balance. >> liberation theology had a stronger effect on the underlying society. i have to read this. you are listening to the commonwealth of california radio program. our guest is katrina vander huegen editor and publisher of "the nation." i watched you on colbert. he asked you to repudiate the obama three times before the cock crows.

people. also, unions, who have protests, and where noise may be used against them and also how do you distinguish between, for example, the people on union square you are talking about, the guy that plays the drums or the bag pipe who comes occasionally and gives us beautiful music and there seems to be a constitutional problem there and so i would urge for a little consideration on some of the constitutional issues that are involved with this issue of the noise. >> thank you. >> good evening, supervisors, so i was going to come up here and say that this legislation has come before the commission and vetted by the commission and the commission voted on it unanimously and that we were happy, the legislation, we felt was going to help us promote more responsible night life and give us further ability to do our enforcement. but, after hearing your questions, i wanted to address a couple of issues with regard to the outdoor sound and supervisor kim. these permit come before our commission and i pretty much require to give me their sound plan. for outdoor sound, right now, there is a new technology in

union. >> the people were isolated. they were not allowed to travel. they lived under constant fear and tension and listened to all the foreign broadcasters, not just deutsche welle but all foreign broadcasters. among them, dw had an excellent reputation. >> in 1959, the fall of the wall heralded a new era for the world and for dw. there was a huge interest around the world in a reunited germany. in 1952, dw tv was launched, a foreign television broadcaster to supplement the radio programming. >> our coverage focused on issues related to germany's reunification, which closed the huge challenge for the country. what followed w the early stages of globalization. >> than in 2001, another world event that changed deutsche welle. the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the united states. the west responded by invading afghanistan. when major combat there ended, deutsche welle went in to support media. at the same time, dw journalists were on the ground reporting from the region. >> after an attack, we just drove on and off the temples to take a closer look because us

unity by fighting against colonialism and moving forward to a new era where we're building a union of the people. i'm really happy that these celebrations are showing the world what the african union has achieved. the african union now has an architecture for peace and security, has a different channel of communications between the head of states and between countries, has different commissioners working on technology and science and education, infrastructure, and these are the challenges for the upcoming 50 years of the african union. africa used to be the leader of the frin union. in 1963 the president of tunisia gave a strong speech during the establishment of the african union. since then we've seen the influence of africa decreasing and the leadership taken by southern africa mostly south africa and other countries who became very influential at the frin union. >> protesters have gathered in guatemala days after the top court struck down a genocide conviction against the military leader. many are worried that justice will not be served. >> back on the streets, yet again, marching for justic

certainly this general attitude i think has a lot to do with the general narrative that unions are kind of bad and people who are demanding more through unions are lazy and this is certainly something that we've seen on a state by state basis from politicians and from corporations and certainly this attitude and up being reflected in the way and making it really harder for unions to in fact get together and even though many are saying that certainly unions are a large impact have a very positive impact on the way the economy runs and operates that are saying that certainly recession is a very good time for people to be able to organize to kind of get the ball rolling again but certainly that's not the case there definitely goes in to be a concentrated effort to crush unions and especially with the whole wisconsin debacle and really when you look at these right to work states which is choosing whether or not you can join a union it is interesting to see that those states actually have higher instances of safety workplace death less safe standards and ramon i mean speaking of just this instance i mean west
