Time to talk to about it. Thank you for the kind words it is great to speak with you. When i think of this book i see three major parts per go after you introduce the situation now, you do a really good job of talking about through stories how workers struggle and how they themselves have built the middle class to a great extent by organizin organizing, striking, bargaininh adversity and to demand policy changes. And then you go through the hard times of what i call the reagan era that i think were still in that companies starting with the president of the United States attacked workers a lot and they are unions and to tell a lot of hopeful stories about the creative and innovative ways workers have been organizing and make policy recommendations. A lot of books like this are criticized because they come up short on the policy recommendations because you have made a quite a few interesting suggestions of what could be done to restore the most powerful workers in this country. So lay ou
Jackie we have gerri willis on floor of the new york stock exchange, jeff flock in chicago. What happened today . Dow only needed 36 points to do that. It beat that level. Were at a new high. As you were saying that is the 21st record close of the year. S p only needed a little more than half a point to finish record territory. It achieved that, and more. Here we are, fueled mostly by apple shares. Finally, we got the nasdaq through 9,000. Very big finish for the nasdaq. Tech very critical part of stocks move. Well talk about amazon for just a second here. The company saying they added five Million People as prime members over the Holiday Season. They said it was a record Holiday Season for them.

Others actually paying that 119 a year. So amazon, with a very good day. Meanwhile, apple also pushing the nasdaq to new highs, f
Be open on sundays that will never happen on his watch. 2016 green president ial candidate, jill steyn, whether she makes the race and wants to jump into the race. President trump would like an impeachment trial in the senate, that he thinks he could state his case. And make case. Blake burman all over that. Hi, there, blake. Reporter is part of strategy we unfold in the white house. Now the president himself is saying democratic controlled house ends up Going Forward with articles of impeachment, then the president would like to have a trial in the senate. Part of the thinking here is, at that point, the president would be able to call witnesses. When he is called in to fox friends earlier this morning, the president explicitly mentioned three potential witnesses, saying he would like to call hunter biden, the House Intelligence Committee chairman, adam schiff and initial whistleblower.

Trumponomics. People talk about recession, whats your take to mark. I dont see a recession, i never say never because you never know whats going happen in six months or nine months but the economy is Pretty Healthy right now. If youre an American Worker looking for a job this is probably the best labor market in your or my lifetime. We have 7. 3 million unfilled jobs, thats larger than the entire population of indiana, thats how many excess jobs we have read theres million unemployed so even if we put every other unemployed american into a job, i think you configure that, that le means we got million jobs we still wouldnt be able to o fill a good situation and its allowed workers to bid up their wages because you get competition and then employers need to hire people ye, they will pay them more and you are seeing that with target, lowes and home depot and walmart and a lot of the retailers and major employers so thats a good thing.
