says for us to get more union members. they wanted wage for union guys. if they were really helping the worker, the actual worker, those that are fighting against the tyranny, the evil empire, they would want them to have $15 an hour. this is so transparent. >> okay, jonas. this is about more than just wages, though. it's about benefits too. >> it is. this brings up an interesting thing that's been going on for a few decades. this is what's killing unions. democrats have killed the unions by providing the benefits by law that didn't exist back when you could have child labor laws. this a that's when you needed unions. it provides an artificially high wage above the market rate and ben if i wants you probably wouldn't have negotiate on your own. when you have obamacare providing health care you probably wouldn't have gotten with your job and a really high artificially high minimum wage, what's the point of a union? they phase out the need of the union. if these benefits continue across all the states unions are going to go the way of nothing. because what

it was a second union station built by union pacific to serve the citizens of omaha for real travel.he architects wanted to make a statement about what the railroad was. in his mind, it was strength, masculinity, and permits. that's what you want is a building to embody. all my heart really started out as a front your town -- front tier town. --izens of council bluff they needed to nowhere. have a better chance of having this railroad if we have a city on the opposite side of the river already established and ready to built that's where they the railroad, and it works. council bluffs didn't really think that omaha would get better -- get bigger than council bluffs. cities on the west side of the river tended to move west. union pacific is one of the premier railroad companies of america. it was founded in 1862. it combines several railroad companies to make union pacific and then they were charged with building the transcontinental railroad that would connect the east and west coast. on the west here coast and were moving east and they met up with utah. what propels us even farther,

they tore the union apart. and then you have black men, who by virtue of being african-american or enslaved they were thought of as the antithesis of citizens, but they fought for the union cause. you have a situation in which the notion of citizenship seems to be backwards. during the civil war and reconstruction, you have a reconceptualization of citizenship. particularly in the union, white northerners and westerners come to question their previous standards of citizenship. you see importance given to loyalty. not necessarily race. increasingly loyalty. this causes a reconceptualization of citizenship. you can also see african-american men making claims on citizenship on the basis of their loyalty. it could also potentially upset the gender hierarchy as well as women potentially could build upon their loyalty and stake a claim for full rights of citizenship or what they understood as full rights in the union. today, i am going to talk about shifts in understandings of citizenship in the context of several ma

i'm not a fan of either party, but the unions support democrats so democrats support unions.a 100% partisan vote at the nlrb so, if i own a franchise in sweetwater, texas, a kentucky fried chicken, my employees can go to the headquarters of kfc and demand -- they've unionized -- and demand a wage increase. despite the fact headquarters has no idea about my market, it's my mom and pop, they dictate to me the wages. in converse, you can also be held responsible for your franchisees, which the headquarters have no control over. these aren't your ceos trying to buy a third home. these are your mom and pop stores now that are going to be pushed back to the corporate headquarters. all it is is a union grab. >> emily, you this is a good thing. why? >> i do. i think it's more simple than that. i think these are large corporations that to their franchisees they dictate qualifications for hiring, they dictate shift schedules, they dictate how they input all of that information, and now the employee can start to about like the corporate is their employer. they've been acting like their

it wasn't legal in the eyes of union forces. it was legal in the eyes of the confederacy, because they didn't recognize federal authority in the seceded states. blockade running was mostly done as a private venture. anyone could become a blockade runner. if you had the capital or a vessel or the business interest and lots of people did. lots of folks, who were involved in other aspects of business, became involved in blockade running during the war because that was a way to maintain their businesses. how seriously did the federal government the union take blockade running? they took it very seriously. they realized from the beginningsbeginningof the war that they would need to devote a lot of resources to the mock blockade. the union navy was 40, 50 vessels at most in active service. very small. it had to expand tremendously. and so for the first few months through the middle of 1861 through early 1862, the federal navy, the union navy was buying up every ship it could find, not just building lots of new warships but purchasing

there were 13 tracks operating out of union station. and here, we have three passenger cars, and if the last people to get an idea of what it is like. recreation, and something that we do not normally get to experience here in the u.s. very much. we are inside the southern pacific lounge car. the 1950's, midnight 50's, and this is the type of car that you would have come to to get a caulked tale, read a newspaper, just have a bit of recreation while you are -- to get a cocktail, read a getting an idea about what things would have been like while you are traveling cross-country on the train, and olderhe visitors, the visitors sometimes have memories of writing on trains themselves and can reminisce about that. --is one of those to points touch points of conversation between the generations. and a sleeper car, these areas, and these lower words would be holding down. -- folding down. and this area, a porter would come along with a key and political, and that would become th, and some of them had a net, so you would not feel if you would f

that would have been kind of the norm for a day at union station. we preserved the main hall, the main floor as it would have been in 1931 much the benches are what you would have hat on if you came to catch a train much the ticket windows are original. the windows, the artwork, all that is original to the building, even the terrazzo floor. so it really has been kept in its original state and we have restored it to what it would look like to -- so people could see the grandeur. when people would come, they were first off at the ticket counter purchase their tickets for wherever they were going, then drop their bags off at the baggage counter, or they would have a redcap help them at the curb, just like we have today at the airport. they would help taking bags to and from people and making sure they were going where they needed to do. after you purchased your ticket, you had time usually to enjoy the amenities of the union staugs. they made sure people had a lot of things to do. this was a sit-down restaurant, invitational linens, china and then more

in april, 1945, the soviet union led the japanese government know that the soviet union and japan had a neutrality pact. the soviet union was the only country that maintained neutrality, but anyway, so in april of 1945, the soviet union notified the japanese government that they had no intentions to renew the neutrality pact when it expired, because as a provision of the neutrality pact, you would have to notify them one year before or else it would be renewed for five years, so the soviet government notified the japanese government that they had no intention to renew the neutrality pact. but it also let the japanese government know nonetheless that neutrality pact was still in effect until its term was up, that is, in april of 1946, fully intending that they are going to wage war against japan. so under the cloak of neutrality, stalin began to reinforce the forces in the far east. he began sending more troops, weapons to the far east, secretly preparing for war against japan. the question is, then how would he justify the violation of the neutrality pact to enter the war? and he did

there were 13 tracks operating out of union station.ere on track one, we have three passenger cars. those allow people to walk through, get an idea of what it was like to travel on the see what, sleeping conditions would have been like, and get an idea of something we don't normally get to experience here in the u.s. very much. we are inside the southern pacific lounge car. this is mid-1950's, the type of car you would have come to to get a cocktail, read the newspaper, have a little bit of recreation while you were traveling on the train. this is an original car, original post early -- apple upholstery. the visitors, the older visitors , sometimes have memories of writing on trains themselves, and can reminisce about that. this is a pullman sleeper car. there would have been open seating as far as sleeping areas. hs wouldr bert double as sleeping and beds. this fold down and becomes the lower bunk. along withwould come the key, opened it, and pull it down. it would have had a curtain across. some did have restraints like a net so you w

because i was one of the best in the soviet union. so i could actually understand that the soviet model was not one to copy. it was literally the dead end. but while i was fighting for my title, for the world championship title, i definitely had no intention of sort of revealing my true emotions about the regime. and there again i was quite young. but since i won the title, i became pretty active in promoting my views. and by the end when the whole system, you know, soviet system in eastern europe but also within the perimeters of the former soviet union was about to collapse, i already played quite an active role in the democratic movement. and that's how, you know, i presented my credentials in the opening pages of the winter is coming. >> host: garry kasparov, do you see similarities? do you see similarities to what's happening today to the soviet system as the previous general -- generation? >> guest: yeah. i'm always cautious in making direct appeals so usually i've been trying to look at the '30s or the '50s. but i understand, y

union. it is that the soviet union would remain a one-party nation even if an opposition party were permitted. because everyone would join the opposition party. not always patient. i do recall that on one occasion, sir winston churchill said about one of our most distinguished diplomates, it is the only case of a bull i know who carries his china shop with him. but as witty as sir winston was, he also had that special attribute of great statesmen, the gift of vision. the willingness to see the future based on the experience of the past. it is this sense of history, this understanding of the past that i want to talk with you about today for it is in remembering what we share of the past that our two nations can make common cause for the future. we have not inherited an easy world. if developments like the industrial revolution which began here in england and the gifts of science and technology made life much easier for us, they have made it more dangerous. there are threats now to our freedom

this thing with joe nelson and killing the union.d from -- no. >> i do not know. >> i thought he was part of custer's staff and custer knew the guy. that was when he ordered five houses would be burned. and one of mosby's officers saw pillars of smoke. they ran to it and there were houses on fire and women were in the yard screaming. what are we to do? they went from one house to the next and finally caught these yankees burning the houses. they went out and slaughtered them. men who were -- pulled bodies, dead bodies over them to keep from being killed themselves. union soldiers crawling away shot in the back. only a couple of them escaped. there were almost 30, i will say 28 or 29 men murdered and that experience. those guys went back to sheridan and sheridan went nuts. they told sheridan what are they experienced and that is when you have this whole thing get worse and worse and worse until colonel mosby got permission from his superior officers. retaliation in kind was legal under international law and those days. he got permissi

the same way high energy prices allow the soviet union prices allowed the soviet union and russia to survive, low energy surprises means on the part of the united states that we're going to thrive economically. in addition to that, there's maybe let's say 12 technologies that are about to happen. how many of you have an iphone? the iphone didn't exist eight years ago. there are now about a dozen iphone-like technologies just ready to happen. it's going to be things like self-driving cars, robotic factories, 3d printing. it's going to be if -- i don't have a watch on right now, but i'm going to get one of those apple watches because that's going to be my doctor on my wrist who is going to do all sorts of things. telling me it's time to go up and it's not going to tell me -- it's going to measure my pulse from my heart rate to my medication. those old technology res inventsed here and available to the world in a short period of time. what that does, i think, is democracy thrive necessary a period of economic prosperity. and what is what is going to change the world. the world i'm looki

. -- fort for the union. weitzel knows about reinforcing forts from his times in new orleans, and fort pickens is held in union possession all through the war. up north, there's a plan to strangle the confederacy. the anaconda plan. the concept was to blockade all the ports that would supply munitions and clothing to the confederacy, and the major point that needs to be blocked as the one in new orleans, the largest city in the south that controls the gulf of mexico's entrance into the mississippi river. mississippi being the backbone of the confederacy. the meeting is held in washington dc and we have officer david porter, president lincoln, secretary of the navy gideon welles, secretary of state william seward, general george mcclellan, secretary of war edwin stanton. they begin to talk about this need to seize new orleans. assault? plan that predominately, they plan to assault fort saint philip and fort jackson. the problem is these are yankees from the north and they do not know those forts. someone says

and if they found the union soldiers -- and they found the union soldiers who burned to the houses andkilled the man. that is a fact. they did give them no quarter. i think you will find in the press the northern press at that time, i believe they had a hard time explaining why the rangers on a constant basis made them look foolish. and we are not talking about cap dancing. these are people killing each other. that was the goal here. killed the other guy. the rangers worked up close and personal with the pistols to were three or four feet away 16-year-old, 17-year-old 18-year-old kids prior to that who were schooled and are now fighting. they have been yoked with executing prisoners and hanging prisoners and doing those things. i have not found any evidence other than what was written in newspapers. not official records or anything the rangers wrote. >> and the rangers across-the-board were pretty honest one and they talked about things that other rangers did. >> i think it is called black fact -- flag warfare. it came, it started with -- it is hard to say where it started. it was more

perhaps a union would bargain over the number of games. if the school and union are at an impasse, would athletes go on strike? are these schools ready to make some tough decisions like cutting support to other athletic programs like lacrosse field hockey, or even raising tuition? >> the list of grievances these players presented are a list of grievances that players could have presented 5 or 10 years ago across the college community, but they haven't been addressed. whether or not you have the security of a scholarship, for how long, whether you have health insurance, stipends, transfers...we've been over this. we've been over this and over this and over this... >> it's bringing us into a sea of complete uncertainty. >> the ncaa says it will fight the northwestern effort all the way to the supreme court. >> i'm not saying the ncaa created institutional racism and poverty in the us. but the ncaa consciously benefits, because they put players from a particular background in a position where rocking the boat is lethal for their opportunities

they are doing that especially for unions.qual pay is something that some unions began to press for the never successfully. higher.e much they don't manage equal pay and don't even yet. american women density in the union movement increased and reached a peak in the 1950's. they didn't have a lot of success breaking into the higher .chelons of union officials that wasn't on the agenda. there were some exceptions to that. remarkable women in the movement. i want to highlight one of them. i want to tell you a little bit about addie wyatt. girlas an african-american , she moved in 1941 before the u.s. became involved in the war. she moved from mississippi to chicago and went to work in the industry in chicago. just a kid. her union logo elected her vice president. house union.cking women andested in racial equality. she is elected vice president in the 1950's by a local dominated by white men. you have this young african-american woman elected a leader in her union local in the 1950's. she was so successful, so 1954,ul and effect

the soviet union was a prison for its people. there was a moral dimension to the soviet union in the comparison with the united states. tell me, what was the moral dimension in the snowden case? i'm not sure, you know, it could be that we did learn that our government can had overstepped in surveillance, but i don't think we can have intelligence agencyies if one man can rereese all the documents at will. release all the documents at will. those were an enormous amount of top secret material. and he took it upon himself to make that decision? i don't think it's the same. >> i have no doubts about your story, but i've heard some very disturbing things about the history of the cia. one is, is that james angleton was a raving paranoid and that for many years during his reign they just did not accept any information from people who claimed they had information that would damage the soviet union. and i don't know how damaging that was in all. you might want to talk about that. and the second is that i read this book on the history of

he he brings up a couple of hypotheticals about would work under unionized system. can you talk about that or do know the answer? >> guest: the short answer is we don't know because we are not there yet so it's very hard to say but he did ring up an interesting dynamic. one thing a union contract tends to bring whether you're talking about a factory or warehouse or a college football team as there tends to be some kind of pay parity. if there were a union contract in place he would not have individual players bargaining for salaries with their teams because they'd all be under contract. so there would be probably some sort of, it would probably -- there would be equity, equitable within certain teams. that's very different from a full-blown free market that a lot of people want to see in college football like this antitrust case that jenkins is now moving forward. basically they are saying that it's illegal to be tapping payment at a scholarship under the current system. they are saying that the market should be fully wide-open cello player would get what they are w

the union army is in chaos. they have run scrambling, retreating from the field, back to their stronghold of chattanooga, tennessee, across the border. it is a mess. it is bad. all the confederate generals realize this is an opportunity. think about what just happened that summer, gettysburg, vicksburg. the morale in the north is sky high, the morale in the south is in the pits. all of a sudden, at chickamauga, it turns around. we have defeated a major union army. all of the generals go to their commanders, and say, we've got them, let's go. follow this up. bragg doesn't believe it. he doesn't believe the army has been that successful. he is cautious. so he delays, he has people underneath him who are going crazy that he has delayed. instead of what bragg, he kind of goes and looks, sees the union army there and chattanooga. if you know the lay of the land there, it is really interesting. you have high mountains on two sides, and the tennessee river is right there and then chattanooga is right there. bragg looks

everyone wants to make history as the first union regiment or first union corps into richmond. weitzel says each group will take a different road in and converge at rocket landing. the different groups all take roads end. there's a bit of a foot race on some of the regiments where two meet, and when group would rush across the field trying to beat the other into richmond. as the troops enter, the 25th corps enters first. followed by godfrey weitzel. explosions are heard in the city. the city is on fire. the liberated slaves come out and greet the union troops as liberators. many drawings have been made of this scene of the federals entering, and you can always find godfrey weitzel. he did not dress in full major general's attire. here he is, shown behind a band from his 25th corps playing union songs as they march in in orderly procession into the burning capital. they stop at capitol square, which is the only place that people can get a breath of fresh air. the poor people of richmond have gone there with their belongings. at capitol square, another flag is placed above the ca

it wasn't just taking on the unions, union bosses and liberal special interests that poured millionsillions of dollars into my state to try to take me out not once but two times in a row, before that, the reason i said it was put up or shut up time and the reason i had to keep pushing was because the establishment in my own party really wasn't that eager to reform things either. they kind of like the title, they like the position and the bigger office in the legislature , but they didn't want to wrap things up too much. they didn't want to shake the boat. and we didn't give them an option and said that's what you have to do. we took on the establishment in our own party and once we did that -- [applause] governor walker: they did the protests and death threats and went after my family and the recall. once we did the first big thing, suddenly you get a little confidence and it starts to grow. and we just didn't take on the hands of the union bosses and put it into the hands of the hard-working taxpayers. we fixed a $3.6 billion budget deficit and cut taxes by $2 billion. new report ju

in the 1950's, her union local elected her vice president. the united packing house union. very interested in women and racial equality. she is elected vice president in the 1950's by a local dominated by white men. you have this young african-american woman elected a leader in her union local in the 1950's. and she was so successful, so powerful and effective, in 1954, right smack dab in the middle of the 1950's, the international union pulls her into the national staff. addie wyatt becomes one of the national leaders of the packing house workers. she would go on in the 1960's to be an important player in the founding of the national organization for women. which is one of the organizations that brings on the second wave of feminism. she is an activist for racial she is an activist for racial justice as well as gender justice and of course class justice through her union activism. addie wyatt needs to be in our images of women in the 1950's. she needs to be in there. in addition, besides eleanor roosevelt, the most famous activist in all the 20th century, mrs. parks, rosa

when the north carolina guys saw , they automatically assumed it was union cavalry. oh, it happened. jackson is shot three times. he loses his left arm, which is amputated. he is taken through the battle lines back to a farmhouse, where he is recovering, doing ok. and then, as happened so often in the war, pneumonia set in. later. a few days what happened than is really rather amazing. what i say in my book, and i think most historians might not know this, is the jackson's death was the first great outpouring of national grief for a fallen leader in american history. i can feel people going what? they are thinking of the great death two years later that great outpouring of grief, abraham lincoln. but at the time of jackson's, a great hero was struck down. the south found it shattering. not only was it a shattering blow in the strategic ends, where they thought maybe they had lost their best player, general, but they respected him as a hero. he was a christian. he embodied that side of the south that wanted to think of itself as noble and christian. south did not have

insisted that all of the islands had to come into possession of the soviet union.but he troops in the northern part of the island to surrendered to the soviet troops. said heing, stalin hoped that his modest suggestions would not meet with any objections. truman's reply, he agreed to modify general order number one under islands would come soviet control, but he rejected stalin's request -- it was his intention, he said, that japanese forces on all the islands of japan proper surrender to general macarthur. japan was remain undivided and under american control. while there is more to be said about that, and i -- but i want you to know that truman was, h o realistic his concerns wee, we will never know but he wanted to make sure the russians would not gain a foothold in japan. but did stalin have the last laugh? on september 3, the day following the surrender ceremony aboard the missouri, stalin ordered soviet forces to take control of japan's northern territories, claiming that they were simply the southern islands. and as the islands were to be handed over, then t

soviet union. [laughter] and she says he is doing what i wanted to do maybe i should ask the captain for that resignation. another thing that happened i got back from a trip to china and we were lucky to land because it was snowing. she said how about coming over for supper. so we go over and all of a sudden they are asking me about the chinese leaders. can you find the bottom line. then they started asking that the soviet leaders because they know that i have dealt with them and i said he has never had an important meeting with the communist leader and he's trying to have one. so i had gotten permission into the object of the meetings were no big deal. so i said what if i bring them over here and they said that's a great idea. we'll take me ten minutes and i want to told him that this new leader was interested in a constructive dialogue. suffice it whatever you want. we were there for at least an hour and a half. and we talked about everything but at least after a certain time, ronald reagan focus

flag, the union soldiers were allowed to leave with honor. but the story of fort sumter didn't end there. it becomes the target of another, even more devastating attack. i'll tell you about that when "teen kids news" returns. >> alexa continues her report on the battle that started america's most tragic war. >> after the rebs forced the union to abandon fort sumter, the confederate flag flew over the fort. but as the tide turned in favor of the north, charleston came under siege. time and again, the union tried to capture the fort, but the defenders wouldn't give up. the turning point finally came on july 18, 1863, when union forces attacked fort wagner on nearby morris island. >> and the 54th massachusetts regiment leads this attack. now, the 54th massachusetts was untried in battle. they're an all-black regiment that was raised up in boston. >> it takes seven attempts, but the union finally dislodges the defenders. from fort wagner, they battered the rebs into submission. >> they bombarded fort sumter for 22 months, beginning in 1863 and en

to them to become union now because of the confederates supporters. that's sort of the same thing with this lays on the plantation. another aspect of that you mentioned there were not as many men around to catch them and go after them if they left and so on. the confederate army, and in spring of 1862 will exempt will exempt certain officials, like sheriffs, constables, other political duties and so on and they will be the main ones who will be hunting runaway slaves. there is still each of those law-enforcement officials in the counties that will go after any slaves that might have run off. the second question about cotton production, you are correct it does take a nosedive, almost immediately when the war begins. that's not so much there weren't slaves to work the plantations it's more, actually in terms of a call to the state government actually to switch cotton production to food production. in fact what everybody realizes especially in the blockade in 1861's were probably not going to get our cotton out of here anyway, we all know about jefferson

the unions took saturday and sunday to organize. on february 14, the students marched on the capital from campus. there were about 1,500 to 2,000 and delivered about 8,000 valentine's for the governor. they dumped them on the public desk and by the tuesday, february 15, they had organized and rallied and exp t expected between 10, 000 and 20,000 people. it was shut down to traffic. by the next day, the crowds grew even more and then the madison teachers and many of the teachers associations started a massive walk-out, call in sick. with the school shutdown, the crowds began to swell and we were up into the high 60,000 to low 70,000 people that descended upon the capital square. the following weekend, we had about 100,000 own the square there was no limit to how many people could come inside. we had almost 26,000 people inside and the building is not built for that. and wea measuring, decided that it could hold 9000. they would turn over, it was stagnant. 9000 and 10 others would come in come of because people left. so then at one po

really a union of debs -- american railroad union of debs. under this umbrella they formed the socialist party of america. very small group. within a decade or so, up to world war i -- this is really the point -- between 1901 and world war i, which bricks out in 1914, -- which breaks out in 1914. socialism grows to become a significant part of the political discourse in the united states. a facottor in american life. not a majority by any means. but not a fringe, sectarian group, as it would later become. the first thing we have to do to think about this is to remember my admonition, which i mentioned before, to read history forward, not backward. you cannot understand the socialist party of the pre-world war i. -- people who want period -- pre world war i period without forgetting about the russian revolution, the cold war, and many other things that will happen in the history of socialism, then communism, which will split socialism into sectarian groups, which will discredit it in many ways. but nobody knows that is coming in the period 190
