and james p_ hoffa the sharma the general president of the international brotherhood of teamsters teamster dot org course the website on the line with us mister hubbell welcome to the program writer carbine and great hope you are well or are there are bigger ceremony here in columbus ohio and were welling against bill that would take away the collective bargaining rights in the election college in two thousand too public employees you know maybe forty thousand people out here integrate program great speaking program most importantly i think the people inside could hear the power of the people this is like these of all over again madison moves to well led to a close absolutely although they were going to keep it going to be at indianapolis you've got to keep this battle on because let's face it the hair slugged it out of it yet but they're not gonna stop instrument was punching like indiana indiana they're going to hear and then they're going to go to mandatory hampshire going to go to mars eric they have a plan uh... illegal aliens lipitor toast at their you know they're part introduced right to work thirteen states simultaneously you know that shows you know you talk about that's right wing conspiracy but proved me right there uses is any possibility that the carjacked legislation the invoice recently snacks could be rewritten is a state law and it is in in various states around the country it could it could be a bit like state the children only you know a democratic governor of the democratic party democratic senate whose foster's which we took tremendous losses in november you immediately are that they are definitely happen they're not all of our children share under democratic representative throughout the country a lot of places where we had majorities we watched a government that here you know what all the way you are still really good um instead stroke awash in really good governor and i would like to shoot you need to add a little destroy organized labor it at the same play book they had was sponsored mission playbook it'd be at a missing the playbook and everywhere you go public and there's a republican he's basically bought and paid for but big business in this transmission occurred wacky seems to me and i was only since the heart of the ones in the international brotherhood seems his teams in our is seems to me mister muffin *** that the average person in america as a consequence in particular what's been going on was constant is starting to realize that the republican party is basically the party of billionaires and transnational corporations and the democratic party has then historically the party supported by labor as as shepherd smith admitted on fox news is that it is destroying the democrats against single party rule basically have because represents the interests of the people and i'm just and wondered if you think that this is where if you're seeing he renaissance and the labor movement in the in people wake up and showing up in participating i think we are a look at it how big a strike at the number of things number one organized labor is reputedly sheet the attack organized labor has come together but most importantly i think women they get a warrant were invigorating yet which will occur out there that can cure the father of the the policeman bananas never thought of it might belong to hit it with other thought that they will be the targets and all of a sudden they want to take away everything they fought for collective bargaining they want to lower the wages take away their pensions and health care they basically want to roll the clock that no date demanded and you know we don't caused near the great crash in the region while these state said that the troops it's wall street you know it was that the other sub-prime of the derivatives we all know that story was in a long time ago allowed because the trouble now they want to get all that money back off the wall street knocked on the bill you know it's not for the corporations they want to get it back from some pictured john fireman the people look at least report itself well that's the message we're getting out in and hopefully not only it would be going out really realized and the people coming out of it all over a hundred thousand people a shot at it battleship helping people get the message that the officers doubt about it all together like a long were you know whether i'm a democrat it about going to create your family in your life integrations more that boy leblanc you know there are democrats the people start coming up here for me in addition who make less money we don't know if i can push it and what elevations travel on the clock that nick yukitoshi warned him it was a serious so hopefully will finally getting through what we've been preaching hopefully will get through to a lot of people they're going to realize what's at stake here what's at stake is on the request which is bait with the public employees the private sector the people that work rather than a day you know your neighbor of mine able to go to work every day at the event that will likely be but the contributor to college they have a home maybe you know if you don't want there are people that don't water step back there are people that say no understanding forty thousand dollars are going to college for four years that she's over political anybody believe that or that a fire that goes up but so far into it you know a policeman or a nurse and they're going to happen probably the least trauma blown there's a lot of nurses where i'm at huron in columbus ohio when sonya live outside the capitol nurse nurses nurse teachers or spiderman aware of a fire hats that's what this is a part of the people but uh... i think the most important thing we've got to have a wake-up call the american worker said you know what maybe this is a well there's there's nothing works here too and that is the to the end this plan the media from from meet the press to fox news and that is there's no discussion there there's a there's a jokes going around actually right now about to know that they there's a there's a c_e_o_ tea party guy any union guy union worker at the three abuse at the table with a dozen cookies in from c_e_o_ grabs eleven cookies and trials and down points to the tea party guy and says to him look after their game guys it next year he wants party your cookie and perhaps a good what and what's what's going on and stands id even nobody's talking about the fact that this country was crashed by thirty years reaganomics by insane trade policies in same tax policies and deregulation of the bank srs theft and fraud by you know the by the banking industry and none of that has been recovered nobody's going after that stuff the message union that has gotten completely lost and instead they're trying to point up to try to make it all about class warfare they try to get average working nonunionized people cannondale was of the fact that public sector employees who are members of unions are the light asked group of americans for all practical purposes who still have decent paying wages and instead of this in saying race to the bottom let's celebrate each to the top well i think that the right side of you you know with that the government which you're hearing he was insane what he was saying he was saying new york exactly what he said he wasn't you know the middle class should be mad at peek at the teachers they should be mad at the firemen looking up i can't believe what i'm hearing because we have decent wages because we have a printer should we all want that aren't we all entitlement america this is a race to the bottom of only the rich get richer you know up you know everybody knows in every article says that no one is that wages have gone up in the past ten years at one percent of the people control half of the wealth of the country and you know and that's gone up from ten years ago it five years ago they have a statistic about twenty years ago uh... the average you know that c_e_o_ make twenty five times where each of the average worker now the picture whether twenty-five times which of the average worker uh... you know they're getting richer and we're going to help him answer is they want more of that so now that they've taken over some of the state houses guitar hero ohio in india uh... in wisconsin watch out because their common korea and you know what maybe this is the wake-up call back at work which may be it isn't what we need you get people off and we have an election next at they're going to go after location sure they're going to go after walker another nurse a they're not taking my life ended up taking my homeboy that they cannot pensioner they depict people met because you know we got to get a better tell it like that well these guys are betting that you know that's here half away and that's an eternity in politics in there with you know enough millions of dollars nichol brothers on the big funders no change people's minds as they can convince the mother of otherwise you know that that up is down you think uh... james offer that the that the average american is going to be able to cut true the onslaught of advertising that's on its way okay let me know watch fox news it's all about you know how bad the workers are co-workers have too much little body they can work with out there that we've lost eight million jobs subsequently session uh... we've got ten percent unemployment you've got jobs going to mexico china and india knows about that yet but he watched holy papa doc there's a wall of the workers health that ever status at the wake-up call that although st fifi i think that i think
