on what ground did the state supreme court in wisconsin uphold the law? >> thank you very much for having me, judy. it's important to point out that the supreme court yesterday here in wisconsin ruled on the process that led up to this law, not on the policy itself. what they basically ruled was that that there was a separation of powers and as long as the legislature believes it was within its proper roles as far as posting this message and posting this... the meeting that led to this law, that being two hours of giving public notice, it was televised, the hearing that led to the passage of this law, as long as that was taken care of, they felt that the court, the majority of the court ruled that they had, in fact, taken care of the open meetings law here in the state of wisconsin. the policy side of this is now what's going to be challenged as a coalition of unions today filed suit in federal court claiming that it discriminates against certain classes of public workers in that it does not include all public workers, specifically police officers and fir

and we also have to say that right now even though huge protests in places like wisconsin have ended we also have tent cities erupting there are also similarly called locker villain to the governor's name and people are really disappointed with a lot of things both here and over there and you mentioned kind of international unrest and something that we heard in your report with people talking about some of the unrest in the protests that we've seen overseas in the middle east and it's something that we've heard activists say is inspiring their role it's even something that you know from afar analysts people like nobel prize winning economist joseph stiglitz has said that the unrest in the united states could reach the kind of levels that or have the kind of outpouring that we have seen in the middle east in countries like egypt how plausible do you think that is and what would it take even if these people's needs aren't met we will see more of that or is that part. you know where that's a very good question because it really seems like a lot of people have forgotten that fear there w

you got sick, you got leprosy or something and you had to go to a cabin in wisconsin and tell people what happened as quickly as you can. to the for me, i would love to you drag it out but i'm sure you're tide of people asking this question. >> right, well, i got sick and i didn't have any money and my dad had a cabin and i went there and recorded my record. i was kind of-- i was a little bit down and out. >> stephen: doesn't sound as legendary as i thought. >> he recorded this all up and said maybe we can sell these songs and everybody goes no, this is fantastic. what was the illness. >> mono. >> stephen: okay. >> not now. >> stephen: but then you had it. and you had to kind of stay calm and still, basically for a few months. >> you want to sleep a lot. >> stephen: did that influence the us music on that album. like if you had had something else like st. vitus dance, would you have done a club album instead. >> sure. no, i mean, i think just being alone and having to kind of be in 1 place and not really travel or anything like that kind of made me be distilled long enough to make th

the debate over labor rights has sparked weeks of demonstrations and protesters returned to the wisconsin state capital yesterday. republican scott walker says the law is needed to address the state's budget deficit. in a written statement walker said "the supreme court's ruling provides our state the opportunity to move forward together and focus on getting wisconsin working again." >>> now to washington where negotiations on the federal budget and raising the debt ceiling resume today. fed chairman ben bernanke is warning that failure to raise the debt limit could have disastrous consequences. joel brown is in washington with details on this. good morning, joel. >> betty, good morning to you. on capitol hill this debate over the debt ceiling and the nation's red ink has been overheated at times. on tuesday though a much calmer conversation that came with an urgent warning. fed chief ben bernanke is warning congress not to play games with the government's debt limit. >> i fully understand the desire to use the debt limit to force some necessary and difficult fiscal policy adjustments but

the return of that controversial anti-union law in wisconsin. joining me now is former labor secretary, robert reich, author of "aftershock," and cnn's senior political analyst david gergen. welcome to you both. secretary reich, let me start with you. is this the opening salvo in an assault on the right of workers in this nation to organize and bargain collectively? >> well, good evening, eliot. yes, i think it is. i mean, wisconsin, remember, was the first state to authorize public sector collective bargaining. and it seems to be the first one to lead the charge against it now under a governor who seems absolutely intent on getting rid of bargaining rights. we have a number of republican governors around the country who are making direct assaults not only on public employees but also on private employees and their right to organize. and if i were going to be cynical about all of this, eliot -- i try not to be cynical. i would say that this is part of a republican plan to undermine organized labor. it's political in nature. organized labor is ve

i appreciate your comment. >> i'm from wisconsin. we were producing naval ships and crane lifting. now we do construction all around the world. one of the issues we're having, the president said many months ago that he wants to see and to double exports in the next few years. the with all these barriers, we cannot do that. there's a lot of finger- pointing as a businessman, many somebody who is going to get the job done. we have competitors that are establishing trade agreements around the world, especially some of the emerging markets. we are being left in the dust. our employees are beginning to see that as well like we are intensely preventing ourselves from doing business. in your opinion, will the finger-pointing stop anytime soon? are we going to be able to move forward? >> finger-pointing will never stop in the stand. the trade agreements will get done. as was mentioned, i came into the white house to help pass the north american free trade agreement. trade for tri was approved. i believe that those things were probably the most important that happened in those eight years i

you have a margin of three in the wisconsin senate. how do you handicap those outcomes?t i'm being told is there's a tee cent shot the democrats take back control of the senate based upon these recalls. >> i see no way that's going to happen. first of all, in addition to having six republicans facing recall, we have three democrats facing recall. quite frankly, some of those democrats are in republican districts. so there is no way i can see the democrats picking up three seats in the next two months. even on my darkest, blackest day, i wouldn't see more than one or two. >> we, look, i'm not sure it's such a dark moment when the other side win ace few races. even i have come to that conclude. look, with a it theal of nine, i think the six republicans races have been set for a date, july 12, have the three democratic recall votes actually been pegged so there's an election date that's been set yet? >> there has not been a date set yet at this time. >> so since the republican recall votes could come first, there could be a swing based upon that. let me ask you quickly beca

it is the things are so up in the air right now you know what's going on in wisconsin is inspiring but at the same time the republicans are. playing the they're playing their cards very well they're defunding the left which you know i talked about at length in the wrecking crew they're playing out their their spring and they know that that's a kind of end game scenario they can crush the democratic party if they play it out so i don't know tom but it will thomas frank thanks so much for being with us on my pleasure.

for what purpose does the gentleman from wisconsin rise? >> mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman from wisconsin is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, shortly the house will begin its consideration of the so-called patent reform bill. mr. sensenbrenner: at last night's meeting of the rules committee, when the debate on the rule within the committee wrapped up, the chairman chastised the judiciary committee for voting out a bill in violation of house rules. and specifically the house cut-go rules. however the rules committee also voted a waiver that allows the cut-go rules to be ignored. that waiver is described by its supporters as a technical correction. this technical correction involves $700 million. hardly something that is technical. seems to me that the best thing that should have been done was the rules committee ordered the bill rereferred to the judiciary committee so the judiciary committee could do it right

handle being the new secretary of defense i'll speak with a journalist who was brutally arrested in wisconsin for filming to police and we'll find out if one for hackers really are f.b.i. informants but first let's take a look at what the mainstream media has as decided to spend their time on well missing the more important stories. we've been doing a lot of media bashing for their relentless coverage of the wiener gate scandal and bashing that is well deserved but it's a little odd when you see those same people that have been covering it nonstop and treating it like real news suddenly act like they're above it all here's rachel maddow on david letterman last night. if he resigns it is something in the fact that people are demanding that he resign while other people who have confessed to much worse things in terms of sex scandals are not being forced to resign or are having in getting the resignations call for that makes it news but him screwing up his marriage in itself i think is more gossip than news. you know i actually have a soft spot for rachel maddow i like her i think she's a good j

we did not talk about wisconsin because we were between 30 and 50. this year a month and a half ago, we went up to no. 24, and i told bob he is number two. he said as long as he is adding jobs and i am getting close, it is all right, but that optimism is a reflection of making changes and responding to uncertainty. that is something we did in wisconsin, because it is not a republican job or a democrat job. it is just a job. >> governor macdonell, i want all of you to know, the point about being specific, about what you are talking about, those of us of the u.s. chamber as well as the state level take the assignment and stand ready to provide specific information. >> we have talked about energy, but it is absolutely critical. we need a comprehensive american energy use policy. we have gotten ourselves into many predicaments regarding energy. if you look down the road, it is going to be a reliable, sustained, low-cost form of energy. it is going to be a geometric increase in energy consumption. i am concerned about federal policies, that every time the

. >>> wisconsin governor scott walker has been handed a victory regarding his anti-union law that triggered protests in the state capitol. in a 4-3 decision wisconsin supreme court overturned a lower court which had ruled that republican lawmakers violated the state's open meetings law when they passed the measure which strips most public employees of their collective bargaining rights. the republican governor has argued the measure was needed to help balance the state's budget. now an avalanche of lawsuits is expected. >>> here's a look at other stories making news early today in america. a scuffle erupted inside a rhode island courtroom after a murder suspect made an insensitive comment towards the victim's family. the son and ex-husband of the victim lunged at the suspect after he told the judge the victim's family would help pay his attorney's fees. the family members were not charged for the disruption. >>> tornado victims in joplin, missouri, suffered a devastating setback when a fire destroyed a building used to store their belongings. dozens of firefighters battled the blaze for sev

the senator from wisconsin. mr. johnson: i know a number of people -- the presiding officer: the senate will be in order. mr. johnson: i know a number of -- i realize a number of people in this chamber are asking, why am i doing this? i think it is important that everybody realize and i certainly mean no offense to anybody in this chamber, but i did not run for the united states senate because i wanted to be a united states senate. i ran for the united states senate because i realized we are bankrupting this nation. i think the evidence is quite clear. if you take a look at the budget deficits for just the last three years, $1.4 trillion, $1.3 trill years, $1.4 trillion, $1.3 trill ion, estimates as high this year as $1.65 trillion. we have incurred over $4 trillion worth of debt just in the last three years and our nation's debt stands at dz 14-dz .3 trillion. we've reached our debt limit. our debt is almost the size of our entire economy. i have been watching washington for 32 years from oshkosh, wisconsin, i real

with that i'd yield to the gentleman from wisconsin. mr. kind: i thank the gentleman for his comments in support of this amendment and just one final point that my colleagues who have been supportive of trade agreements in the past, let's be honest with ourselves. if we're going to be a part of this w.t.o. organization to establish rules of trade across borders then let's not turn our back on an adverse decision that affects us. let's instead comply and bring the cotton subsidy program into compliance. that is the answer to this and let's end this nonsense of sacking subsidy program on -- stacking subsidy program on top of subsidy program to blackmail other governments who have a w.t.o. decision in their hands. and i cannot believe that this evening when we're asking for huge unprecedented cuts in conservation programs that will affect thousands of farmers -- effect thousands of farmers across the country and unprecedented cuts with nutrition programs that will effect thousands of low income families with their children and seniors, saying,

jaime palmer is executive director for wisconsin's professional police association. mr. palmer, thank you very much for joining us. so we understand that this proposal being proposed by the legislature would force new hires on the police force to pay the same level of contribution for their health insurance as other public workers like teachers. why isn't that fair? >> well, first, i think it's important to note that over the last five years, just in the state of wisconsin, the number of assaults on law enforcement officers has increased by an astonishing 224 percent. that should trouble people. certainly it troubles our membership. now is not the time for the state to reduce investment in local governments and public safety to the tune of $76 million to require low enforcement officers who are performing the same tasks and functions to be compensated at differently levels. we think it's bad for public safety and officer safety and in that way the bill is reckless. alisyn: look, obviously it is troubling, no one is arguing that you are not doing vital work, but how would

[applause] >> governor walker has made politically bold decisions. not just when it comes to the budget repair bill but also when it comes to social issues like abortion. and i am proud to say that in this budget, in the biennial budget that right now our joint committee on finance is voting on, governor walker has rolled back some very important things that we need to talk about this morning. he's rolled back the mandate that both public and private insurance needs to pay for contraceptives. that's unacceptable. government m
