[laughter] i'm going to go down and see dick after the show. that ought to be interesting, won't it? i'll bring you an update later. in just days, the commander in chief will accept the democrats' nomination here in north carolina, a state where unemployment is at 9.6%, where same-sex marriage was just banned and where a new labor law has the unions so angry they are skipping in the convention completely. so why exactly did the democrats choose this city? chairwoman of the dem character national committee debbie wasserman-schultz joins us at the top of the hour, and we'll talk about it. plus, some prominent public worker unions promise a strong effort for the president's re-election campaign in critical midwest states. this labor day we're going to look at what to expect from big labor and what they're predicting. you might find this interesting. right after this break. people with a machine.
