Good to have you here. >> thank you. >> i hesitate to even ask, but you should know. do you want to know how rush limbaugh and glenn beck characterize the disaster in japan? suffice to say they are using the word payback. yeah. ed schultz has a few comments of his own about that at the top of the hour. you will not want to miss it. on the opposite end of the compassion index, the u.s. military delivered tons of supplies to japan yesterday. the latest on how americans are providing desperately ...

Those japanese military helicopters have managed to dump four loads of sea water over the reactors. and as you said, ed, the big question tonight is, what is really happening at unit four. it is at that unit that the head of the nuclear regulatory commission in the united states says the spent fuel pool isç empty. and that is really bad news. because when those fuel rods are exposed, then they can start to melt, and when they start to melt, they will release their fuel inside and theyll releas...

Of this? what is going on? >> actually, ed, i think you may be trying to talk to a couple constitutional lawyers to figure out whether he could sign it without getting in trouble. the fact of the matter is this bill was passed with a massive amount of legislative irregularity and some of what looks like illegality. youve had guests on talking about that already but my suspicion is and my expectation is the governor is huddling with his lawyers to figure out whether he should put the pen to this ...

Including the president because everybody can do a lot more but right now were focused on the governors that have over reached and are trying to pay back their corporate donors for the last election. >> president of the afl-cio, a real priority for us today to have you as the interview on the night of this special report. thank you very much for your time. >> rachel, thanks for having me on. i appreciate it. >> indeed. >> please send me that light. >> i might have to take up a collection and buy...

Workers not show up for work because of this law? >> well, thats not for us. thats for workers to decide for themselves but our fight will continue. theyre going to continue in the courts. well continue at the ballot box and there is an election here on april 5th where we warm up. may 3rd the governors top aide is in play in la crosse. we expect to have a very good chance of winning that seat. which i think will send shivers through the spines of republicans and then there will be recall electio...

The energy to get those signatures. im going to bet you come monday morning many of these senators are actually at that point of being ripe for recall and this recall process moves quickly, ed. its not going to take forever to put these votes to the people. when that happens, we look at the possibility of control of the state senate and the restoration of a system of checks and balances in wisconsin. >> john nichols, i want to ask you one more question. if we can go back to that fake phone call ...

Out of there they need people motivated and what the governor is about to do is going to give them all the motivation in the world for the recalls dont you think? >> youre absolutely right, ed. look. ultimately governor walker is going to sign this bill. he has shown a determination to sign this bill no matter what and to move it forward and when he does, i think reality is going to set in for an awfully lot of wisconsinites. not just union workers but people from across this state that their go...

they may be down but not out. >> democracy is not optional in wisconsin. >> wisconsin union backers continue to flood the state capital a full 24 hours after the republican senate passed the union busting bill. >> this mornings headline tells the story. "capitol shocker." >> it took just 30 minutes for republicans in the state senate to pass a bill. >> no, no. listen. >> the governmental body should provide 24 hours notice. this is clearly a violation of the law. >> the scene in fact c...

Later. kathleen said it, we couldnt change their minds, then its time to take your anger, people, wisconsinites take your anchor and frustration and time to change their faces through recall. >> i just wanted to say everything that went on in the last several weeks, that weve been gone, im so proud of the wisconsin 14 for standing up for what we believe in. what the governor is doing was not fair. it was not balanced. it was not respectful. and it certainly didnt talk at all about what impact it...
