5:00 pm
from horror, backed civil rights, sent people around the world like me in the peace corps and, yes, took us to the moon. it will be a great honor to speak tonight at the john k. kennedy library in boston and bring it all back. that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us. "the ed show" with ed schultz starts right now. good evening, americans, welcome to "the ed show" tonight from new york. the woman alleging an affair with herman cain comes out with more details and cain thinks he uncovered the grand plan schemed up by the democrats to take him and newt gingrich and him out of the race for the gop nomination. this is "the ed show." >> i talked to a lot of people 61 times. >> herman cain's deranged soap opera continues. >> a week from now i will have made a final decision. >> his new conspiracy theory involves newt gingrich and the democrats. >> that's a hypothesis. >> goldie taylor and republican strategist joe watkins are here. republicans put out their
5:01 pm
plan to extend the payroll tax. fire 200,000 federal workers? senate minority whip dick durbin is here to respond. do you regret going out there? >> not at all. >> will you do it again? >> yeah. >> injured iraq veteran scott olsen inspired the 99% movement like never before. tonight, reaction to my interview with robert greenwald of "brave new films" and occupy activist jesse lagreca. millions of workers in england are out on strike. this righty has a plan to deal with them. >> have them all shot. i would take them outside and execute them in front of their families. good to have you with us tonight, folks, thanks for watching. herman cain continues to go on the offensive no matter what comes out about him. the gop has been silent up till now. a lone tea party republican congressman, alan west from florida finally stepped up have
5:02 pm
said before. should have, anyway. in a radio interview west said "beyond reassessing his campaign he probably needs to understand he is a distracter for what's going on right now and we should move on. that would be my advice to him, if i had an opportunity and he asked me." but later, the congressman tweeted, "i am not telling cain to step down. that's his decision." today herman cain said he respected west, but it was his own decision. and he launched into his broadest, craziest defense yet of allegations that have been placed against him. he said the democrats had a two-step plan to take him out along with newt gingrich. >> maybe the democrats want newt gingrich to win the nomination so they can then go after his personal life, but they need to knock me out now. that's just the hypothesis. my star was shining and rising too fast. they wanted to take some of that shine off. they couldn't attack my ideas.
5:03 pm
they couldn't make it stick when they went off my 9-9-9 plan. the only option was try and attack his character with accusations relative to some of people that i have met in the past and some of them i didn't even know. >> he is a strong talker, and he is just unbelievable the way he continues to tgo on the offensive. he admitted he's helped ginger white financially, but he had an explanation for that, too. >> she was someone that i considered a friend, although it's apparently she's not, that i was helping because she was having financial troubles. it was over an extended -- it was over 2 1/2 years that i was doing this because of the job market. and so this -- she's not the only person that i have helped. i have helped a lot of people. the only thing about this particular one is, yes, she happened to be female. >> so how close was this relationship? there is the problem of all those text messages. especially the ones that came in
5:04 pm
at 4:00 in the morning. but the pizza man was undeterred. >> if she were texting me at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning, wanting to know if i could help her with her rent or help her with her car note, that doesn't mean that i was calling her, and the other thing about those phone calls, which we have requested that we be given access to them, my attorney and i, is what really was the pattern of those? all it says was 61 calls. i talk to a lot of people 61 times. >> 61 times? that's a heck of a lot of communication, isn't it? ginger white had her own explanation of all those calls and text messages and she said the communication continued even after the first harassment allegations against cain went public. >> just up until last week, that was my last contact with mr. cain, and, you know, the thing is, i can't imagine waking up one morning and deciding to come
5:05 pm
out with this if this was not true. this has been a very difficult situation for myself, for my family and it's nothing that i am proud of. it was a very casual affair that herman flew me to -- on several trips. i went on several trips with herman. we, one particular trip, was the mike tyson holyfield fight in las vegas. you know, i can't make this stuff up. >> but back to herman cain who was asked if this was the end of the accusations against him. and if he was confident nothing else would come up. >> i was in business for over 40 years. i have worked with and helped a lot of people, male and female. there is no way for me to say unequivocally that somebody else may not come up. >> but herman cain did concede he is reassessing whether to stay in the race.
5:06 pm
he claimed he's getting plenty of positive feedback from supporters and the money was still coming in. but his family is his number one priority. >> this is about trying to bring down herman cain, but if they're going to bring down herman cain at a heavy price on my family, i am in the process of reassessing that. >> a week from now, do you think in your gut you will still be a presidential candidate? a week from now. >> a week from now, i will have made a final decision. >> well, herman, let me tell you something, buddy, there's no conspiracy theory here that's going to work with the public. i should endorse you tonight. heck, we want you to stay in the race. why in the world would the democrats get behind closed doors and say we're nervous about herman cain in the 9-9-9 plan, let's cook up folks and get them in front of the cameras and make sure they're a plan to take them down, after we get cain, we're going to go after newt, we're going to do it that
5:07 pm
way. this is what you get with the tea party. you really get nothing but a bunch of lies and innuendos and this is the kind of politics that the tea party has offered up to this country. a bunch of obstruction. they can't zeal with the truth. they have no policy. they have no plan. they're just a bunch of radical tea partyers and this is the perfect candidate for the republicans. it's too bad he won't get it. no, the democrats have not come up with any grand plan to deep six herman cain politically or newt gingrich, for that matter. with the policies that they throw out there and the conversations that they have with the american people, i don't think they're hard to beat. get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. tonight's question, should i, ed schultz, endorse herman cain for the republican nomination? text "a" for yes, text "b" for no to 622639. always go to our blog at ed.msnbc.com. we'll bring you the results later in the show. joining me now, joe watkins,
5:08 pm
msnbc political reporter and analyst. already texting "a" on that and goldie taylor, managing editor of the goldie taylor project. great to have both of you with us tonight. joe, let me ask you first. where's the reaction? one congressional member who happens to be a tea partyer says he's a distraction, he ought to step aside. where's the party of family values on this? why can't they put an end to the political misery? >> this is not really a party issue. you have a candidate running for the presidency who happens to be republican. the matter is up to him to decide, make a decision whether or not his candidacy is so damaged he can't continue on. i mean, whether he is innocent or guilty of these charges is a matter for others to decide. he certainly said he's innocent and the women who are accusing him who have to be considered, of course, because if it's true, it's hurtful. if they're right, obviously
5:09 pm
that's a big problem for herman cain. when you a candidate for the presidency, this is not what you want to be talking about 30 some odd days before the iowa caucuses. >> i think this is a party issue, too. i mean, the party that stands for family values, the party that says they're all about life, libb eerty and everything else, what do they stand for? this guy is being tarnished big-time, bringing the republican brand down in my opinion. goldie, the latest allegation involves a consensual affair but comes after numerous accusations of harassment. how much more can one candidate withstand? what do you think? >> i think the only place that the cain train is still rolling is inside of herman cain's head. i think his campaign is over. he's got to call it over on a time and date of his own choosing. but at the end of the day, there were just too many women and too much credibility behind them. you know, if my husband got 61 phone calls back and forth with a woman that i did not know -- >> he'd be a dead man.
5:10 pm
he'd be a dead man. >> i got to tell you, his stuff would be on the curb and he'd have trouble walking. i tell you, at the end of the day, this is one of those things that is just too credible. and he's really got to reassess himself. you can't get out and talk about the sanctity of marriage. and then not have sanctimony in your own marriage. that's what we're really talking about here is how credible herman cain can be going forward. now, his real duty here is, of course, to his family. he also has a duty to his supporters. he has a duty to release them to candidates they can get behind and passionately work for who have a real path to victory. in 2012. >> the other side, goldie, there are always two sides to every story. you got some women coming out saying this is what happened and you have herman cain on the other hand sayi ining -- >> call my husband at 4:30 in the morning, i tell you what kind of side of the story there is. >> you know, this is what the republican party has to deal with. what if herman cain does well in iowa and picks up steam and
5:11 pm
keeps going? who knows where this could go. i think his candidacy is over with, but the way this political season has gone, who the heck knows. but what about the conspiracy theory he's come up with, joe? what on earth is he cooking up now? >> i imagine how he feels, given all that's come at him. he was doing very, very well in the polls and weeks on end leading in the polls for the nomination, that is. this is a hurtful thing to be derailed, not by policy, but accusations of infidelity. again, he's innocent until proven guilty. i don't know if it's going to go that way. for him to deal with these kinds of issues at this point in the campaign is a death nil. >> you don't have to have a jury trial for the people of the country to render judgment on what kind of lifestyle this guy has. goldie, i found this comment from ginger white, particularly interesting. here it is. >> the funny thing about herman
5:12 pm
cain is never in a million years did he probably think that i would speak out on this. and honestly speaking, i never wanted to. >> that tells me that they were pretty close after 13 years. goldie, how do you read that? >> it sounds to me like they probably were pretty close, if you listen, you know, really to her words. and herman cain's words. he regarded her as a friend. you know, he said he questioned that friendship now that she's come out with these allegations, but, you know, from both of them, it says they had some sort of very close friendship and i got to tell you that my husband just doesn't have friends who are women that i don't know. >> what happens in las vegas is supposed to stay in vegas. they say that what happens in vegas is supposed to stay in vegas. >> a lot of husbands went to las vegas for that fight and in atlanta we called it the atlanta way. the wives did not take that trip. i will tell you now. >> joe, herman cain says the american people are on his side. listen to this.
5:13 pm
>> the first day that that story broke, contribution dropped way off. guess what, they're moving back up, because i happen to think a lot of the american people are starting to see through this whole character assassination on me. >> character assassination is what he calls it? doesn't he have some friends that would step up and say, buddy, you know, you're really hurting your family and hurting yourself. where are his friends? what do you think, joe? >> he has lots of friends. i think there are lots of people still who like his ideas. i was just talking to one of my democrat friends who told me he likes a lot of herman cain's ideas as a business person and thinks he has great ideas to put americans back to work. >> enough to think he can get away from this or get around this? >> no, i don't think so. this is a hard one to get over. as long as this is the conversation and people see you in this light, it becomes hard to talk about your 9-9-9 plan or anything else you might do to put americans back to work. >> joe watkins and goldie
5:14 pm
taylor, great to have you with us tonight. answer tonight's question at the bottom of the screen and share your thoughts on twitter using #edshow. i want to know and we want to know what you think. we appreciate your comments. coming up, republicans cooked up a lame proposal to weasel their way out of raising taxes on millions of americans. senator dick durbin is here to respond to that. every republican candidate gets at least a day in the sun, but new polls show newt gingrich may not be a flash in the pan. and mitt romney isn't handling any of this very well at all. joan walsh and mike papantonio will be back to talk about that on the top of the republican ticket. so you earn 50% more cash. according to research, everybody likes more cash. well, almost everybody... ♪ would you like 50% more cash? no! but it's more money.

coming up on "the ed show," the senate plans to vote on the payroll tax this week and once again the republicans are throwing out a bad deal that will slash jobs. senator dick durbin of illinois, on the democratic leadership team, is here next. a british broadcaster is in "the zone" for his comments about striking public workers in

5:19 pm
we can go right back to the most important chart in america. my chart. the red line, this is where the income has gone over the last 30 years for the top 1% and 2% wage earners in america. and the rest of us, we're todow there right there at the blue line. if you're a blue liner, the republicans want to raise your taxes next year. that would be in a little over a month. if you're a red liner, you have nothing to worry about. business as usual, right? mitch mcconnell and his cronies in the senate refuse to extend the middle class tax cuts unless the top .2% get off scot-free. that would be the red liners. now, a senate vote is set for friday. if it fails, your taxes will go up on the first paycheck of 2012. president obama put it like this today. >> if that happens, if congress doesn't act to extend this tax cut, then most of you, the
5:20 pm
typical middle class family, is going to see your taxes go up by $1,000 at the worst possible time. they said no to cutting taxes for small businessowners and working families. what happened? republicans said they're the party of tax cuts. that's what they said. how is it they can break their oath when it comes to raising your taxes but not break their oath when it comes to raising taxes for wealthy people? >> hang on a second. during the lame duck session of the congress last year, weren't we told you can't raceraise taxes on the job creators? the democrats are saying you can't raise taxes on middle class americans. the democrats want to cut the payroll taxes by 3.1% for individuals and most small businesses. i mean, it's common sense. they want to offset that by taxing the income of people who make over $1 million. so you could be a red liner in here and still not pay taxes. today republicans came up with what i think is a very weak
5:21 pm
counteroffer. they want to keep the 2% tax cut for one year, but they want a three year pay freeze on federal workers. they want to cut the federal government workforce by another 10% or by 200,000 employees and they want no tax increases. senator dick durbin of illinois joins us tonight on "the ed show." senator, good to have you with us. i appreciate your time on this issue. >> thanks, ed. >> you know, the republicans are still holding the line on tax increases. all the way to the point where they are going to protect the .2%. they won't go any revenue component whatsoever. they want to get rid of 200,000 federal workers and they want a pay freeze for another three years for federal workers. what's your reaction to this? how hardline is this, in your opinion? >> you know, the extent that they'll go to, the extremes they'll go to, to protect the highest income americans, are almost unimaginable.
5:22 pm
i was on a debate on another network with jon kyl, the republican leader last sunday, in which i said clearly the republicans have to agree with us, we don't want the payroll taxes on working families to go up on january 1st. these families are struggling paycheck to paycheck and we ought to pay for it by having the wealthiest of our country pay a little bit more. jon kyl rejected it. he said, no, no way we're going to. they got the message, and noticed being for an increase on the payroll tax for working families is not a good idea. now they came up with this idea where they're going freeze the federal workforce. think about this for a second. if you lose three prosecuting attorneys in the department of justice going after terrorists or those accused of drug crimes, whatever it might be, they say you can replace one of them. what happens when we need people working in the federal government to keep america safe?
5:23 pm
>> senator, is that a deal breaker, a nonstarter for the d democrats? >> i think it's trouble. it's a real problem. we're getting hints about what they're going to do. we may not see it until tomorrow. there's an easy way to do this, supported by democrats, republicans, even tea party republicans. a small surtax on the wealthiest people in america. people making over $1.5 million a year, a small surtax, will generate enough money to give a payroll tax cut to thousands, millions of working families. >> well, if they're going to protect the .2% of the income earners in this country, it seems to me you're not going to get any revenue component out of this. is that a deal breaker? do you have to have revenue from their side to make something happen to extend the payroll tax cut? >> if they're going to pay for it. if the decision is made not to pay for it, to add it to the deficit, and not have compensating either increases in revenue or cuts in spending, so be it. but the bottom line is, we
5:24 pm
cannot leave for christmas, ed. we cannot leave for the holiday season without making sure this payroll tax cut continues for working families and also to make sure that the unemployment benefits are extended to the millions of folks across america still looking for a job. >> would you go for any federal cuts whatsoever? >> well, i'll look at them. i'll be honest with you, i'll keep an open mind. the ones they proposed is almost laughable. here's one of them. this may not be exactly what we're going to get, but here's what we've heard. anybody making over $750,000 a year, the republicans say they can't have food stamps. now, that's a big savings. how many people do you think are in that category? i don't know what they're trying to say with that. it's a pretty confusing situation with the republicans at this moment. >> in your opinion, how critical is it to extend this payroll tax cut? i mean, we've been down the road before with a higher rate. are you saying that the economy just cannot maintain its momentum unless we do that? >> they say it's worth about 1%.
5:25 pm
>> do you believe that? >> i believe that. for the average working family in illinois, their average income is $50,000 a year. 2% equals between $125 and $150 a month, maybe $1,500 a year, just in the roughest terms. $1,500 a year more being spent by that family to fill the gas tank, to make sure the utilities are paid for, to make sure the rent's paid and the kids have clothes to go to school. it's money that's going into the economy. demand for goods and services that creates jobs. >> and senator, i got to ask you, is there any scenario that you see on the table that would force the democrats to extend the bush tax cuts again to get a deal with the republicans? >> i tell you, that would be a disastrous decision. if you look at the impact of those tax cuts on the wealthiest americans, and what it does to our long-term deficit, we'll be slashing and cutting in every direction to pay for a tax cut for the wealthiest people in this country.
5:26 pm
for goodness sakes, we should never let that happen again. >> sounds like it's going to be tough sledding when it comes to trying to extend the unemployment benefits. that's going to be the battle royale it seems like. it seems like that's the only thing republicans are going to agree to is the extension of the bush tax cuts. >> i can tell you, i've been through this battle before it other republican senators, one of whom has retired and they basically said they don't care. if the unemployment benefits are cut off for the families across america, they don't care. i care. i've met these families and you have, too. they're struggling to find work and struggling to keep their families together in a very difficult time. we have never politicized unemployment benefits until this modern era. we shouldn't do it now. >> senator dick durbin of illinois. good to have you with us tonight on the program. thanks so much. >> thanks, ed. good to be with you. >> a few moments ago nancy pelosi released this statement. "republicans felt the heat from democrats to extend the payroll tax cut, however, the republican proposal does less to spur economic growth for job creation than president obama's plan. unbelievably, it cuts hundreds

5:31 pm
and in "psycho talk" tonight, i guess you could say we have an international edition on the program. with jeremy clarkson. the star of the hit bbc show "top gear." clarkson's good buddies with rebekah brooks, the woman in charge of rupert murdoch's news international and arrested this summer in connection with the company's phone hacking scandal. today clarkson kicked it into low gear when he launched a verbal tirade at the 2 million public sector workers who were currently striking in the united kingdom. >> i'd have them all shot. i would take them outside and execute them in front of their families. i mean, how dare they go on strike when they have pensioned that are going to be guaranteed while the rest of us have to work for a living. >> really? jeremy clarkson thinks working for a living means riding around in expensive cars and crashing them when he's done? he should try cleaning the streets, educating the children or caring for somebody who's sick. that's what real work is.
5:32 pm
but his talk about guilt-edged pensions sounds pretty familiar. the reason the brits are out in the streets is no different from why people are in the streets in this country. the british government wants them to work longer and for less pay and, of course, a smaller pension. the people in power want to balance the budget on the backs of the workers instead of making guys like jeremy clarkson contribute some of his millions. oh, by the way, clarkson, himself, is busy raking in public money. he gets over $1.5 million a year from fees people pay to the bbc. so for jeremy clarkson to say public employees should be executed for striking is arrogant, ignorant "psycho talk." newt gingrich is dominating two new polls and the pressure is mounting on the mitt stster. mitt romney. can he keep cool in the face of the newt surge? later, two of the country's biggest occupy camps have been

massmutual. we'll help you get there. welcome back to "the ed show." newt gingrich isn't slowing down as the republican front-runner at all and mitt romney isn't handling this thing very well either. gingrich has a massive 30-point lead over mitt romney in a new florida poll. 47% to 17%. he only had a 10% back in september when romney had 30%. another florida poll looks the same. gingrich with 41%. romney with 17%. newt gingrich is surging despite multiple new reports about his multimillion dollar lobbying services. mitt romney is feeling the pressure. he was awkward and testy during an interview on fox news. >> how can voters trust what they hear from you today is what you will believe if you win the white house? >> well, brett, your list is
5:37 pm
just not accurate, so one, we're going to have to be better informed about my views on issues. >> do you think a mandate mandating people to buy insurance is the right tool? >> brett, i don't know how many hundred times i've said this, too. this is an unusual interview. all right. let's do it again. >> at times you thought it would be a model for the nation. >> you're wrong, brett. brett, no, the tape out there, continue to read the tape and the tape goes on to say, for each state to be able to look at it. >> you know, we've kind of seen this before, haven't we? mitt romney has got a habit of getting snippy when things really don't go his way. >> you're allowed to change -- >> rick, you had your chance. let me speak. rick, you had your chance. let me speak. i'm speaking. i'm speaking. >> your newspaper -- it's time for you to tell the truth. >> you get 30 seconds. this is the way the rules work here. number two -- number two, let me finish. >> he still has time. let him finish. >> i get a little time here. >> let's turn to joan walsh, editor at large, salon.com, and mike papantonio, host of "the
5:38 pm
ring of fire" radio show. great to have both of you with us tonight. mike, you know, look, what's happening here with newt gingrich, first, why is he doing so well down in florida? >> the only reason he's surging in the polls, he's another one of those candidates that anybody but mitt romney candidate. that's why he's surging. he has a problem, ed, he can't overcome the problem. mitt needs to relax. look, newt gingrich is a ready-made story. he's already a package. he's a media frenzy, already made up. he's a train wreck, even the least capable reporting organizations are going to know the stories about him being hammered 84 times for ethics violations, having to pay $300,000 for lying, for complete fraud. and you know who made him pay the money? his own pals in congress. they heard him lie about the fact that he was taking money that was supposed to go to intercity disadvantaged children and using it for his own purpose. mitt needs to just let him burn
5:39 pm
down. >> so joan, why don't people in florida get what mike was just saying? have they forgiven newt gingrich for all of the past sins? >> i think people, it's going to take some time for those things to be resurfaced, rehashed, and i think for this lobbying, this issue of how many millions of dollars he's taken from corporate interests to essentially lobby for them. and, you know, mitt had a terrible day, no doubt about it. that was just an awful interview, and he's just so condescending. you know, he just can't help himself. he's the rich guy. but, you know, i saw newt today talking about how, well, i didn't lobby because i get $60,000 a speech. and it's like, boy, you are a pompous gasbag. do you think voters are going to, like, warm up to you because you're boasting about getting $60,000 a speech? and if you didn't get that, maybe you would have lobbied? i mean, it was kind of
5:40 pm
nonsectors but all puffery, self-puffery. >> other republicans are already taking shots at gingrich. he's a new web ad from ron paul. >> there are now reports about controversial ties to the health care industry. >> the think tank founded by newt gingrich collected at least $37 million from major health care companies and the group supports individual mandate. >> newt gingrich renewed his support for an individual mandate. >> i don't know about you, joan, but i didn't get a talent fee for that ad, but whatever. we recognize two of the people in there. how can gingrich overcome his past? i mean, that really is -- i mean, he's the flavor of the month right now and he's going up in the polls. is he going to be able to maintain this, mike? >> his new talking point is that i'm not jesus. i don't know if you've seen this. >> i have. >> you can't hold me to the same standards of jesus. look, here's the problem he has. his stories are what i call low-hanging fruit stories, ed. like the $500,000 interest-free loan, interest-free credit line
5:41 pm
that he got from tiffany jewelers. he got that and we found out it was because of some kind of putrid political deal that he made on their behalf. so the low-hanging fruit, easy stories about not paying child support for years, or leaving his wife while she's being operated on for cancer or coming out of congress as a multimillionaire when he goes into congress on a teacher's salary. so these stories are easy to deliver. it's very, very tough for him to overcome it. mitt needs to relax and understand that. >> this whole thing is really tough on the social conservatives. they don't know which way to turn. this is tony perkins, head of the family research council, on msnbc earlier today. >> i think when you look at newt's positions, that's somewhat problematic for him. if you look at his new contract for america he put out, it's void of social issues. mitt romney, who has a great personal life when you look at him from a character standpoint, he's someone everybody should attracted to.
5:42 pm
when you look at his policy issues of the past, his record as a policymaker, as the governor of massachusetts, it's problematic for him. >> joan, do the social conservatives have a dog in this fight right now, or are they getting wheget ing weeded out? are they going to sit this one out? >> it's interesting, because tony perkins, obviously being a mormon is a problem for romney. it's not just his positions. there is that issue dogs him and it's funny because newt converted to catholicism. catholicism isn't totally popular with that right wing evangelical set. so newt might have picked the wrong christian religion there, but, you know, they're also going to have a hard time dealing with his marriages and his adultery and his do as i say, not as i do. >> joan walsh, mike papantonio, we'll follow the story. thanks for joining us tonight. appreciate it. next, scott walker says he's looking forward to a recall election because he gets to talk to voters. i'll help him get a head start by showing you what his policies

wisconsin governor scott walker is desperately trying to stay ahead of the curve, should i say, stay ahead of the looming recall election. on monday, wisconsin democratic party chairman mike tate came on this show to announce they had already collected more than 300,000 signatures for the walker recall. they're more than half way there. this morning governor walker showed up on cnbc saying he really couldn't wait for the
5:47 pm
recall election. if that's the case, why doesn't he go out and help get signatures? >> i look forward to that. i'd love to have the chance to talk to the voters of wisconsin again. i think if voters hear the facts, every week, every day, every week, every month that fwo goes by, our numbers get better because our story gets out and people see the positive impact of our results. the facts ultimately trump the attacks. if you see the schools are the same or better, and that our governments are doing well and in the end our taxes are going down, people want to hear that. and i think the results will trump everything else. >> people want to hear that. did he just say in that sound bite, our numbers get better? really? scott walker wants the people to know the facts, well, i'm going to help him out here. wisconsin leads the nation in cuts to education with $2.6 billion in cuts this year, alone. scott walker is cutting more than a half billion dollars from medicaid which could leave 65,000 people in the state without health care coverage, including 30,000 kids. and walker promised to create
5:48 pm
250,000 jobs by 2015, but wisconsin, he says his numbers are getting better? my friends, they lead the nation in job losses. the state has lost jobs every month since walker's budget passed. in october, alone, they lost 9,700 jobs. those are just the facts. i would really welcome scott walker, the governor of wisconsin, to sit right here in the studio in new york at msnbc. i know he's been in new york before because he almost camps out across the street. and tell me face to face about these numbers, about, what did he say? our numbers are getting better. really? i think the people of wisconsin would really love it because i've been to madison and some other areas of wisconsin numerous times and i know they watch the show. conservative radio talk show host steve daice from iowa came on the show last night and told me conservatives are looking for

5:55 pm
up for what's right. scott olsen survived two tours of duty in iraq only to be hit with a projectile while protesting in the streets of oakland. he is still recovering from a head injury which makes it difficult for him to speak. but he's a fighter. and that doesn't take away from his incredibly powerful message. do you regret going out there? >> not at all. >> will you do it again? >> yeah. >> and why are you out there? >> i'm there protecting the rights that we have. when i took the enlistment oath when i joined the marines, i swore to uphold and defend the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. and i'm continuing to do that. >> joining me now, robert greenwald, the founder and president of brave new films. robert has launched a campaign

5:57 pm
the women's peaceful civil rights movement and we're seeing it again now. >> jesse, how inspiring is scott olsen? >> i consider the man a hero. he literally did all the things they told us we should do. serve our country, make the sacrifices that are going to help strengthen it. when he comes back to america and sees the economy in shambles after being in the theater of war, what happens to the guy? i'd rather stand with scott olsen than bank of america. i think most of us in our right minds would agree with any. >> want to play another clip of the interview i had with him. i asked scott olsen about the state of the movement. where do you think the movement is now, scott? >> it's tough to say. it's been changing a lot, but i don't think it's going anywhere any time soon. i think it's -- the only place i think it's going is up, gaining interest. >> jesse, your thoughts on that. >> i totally agree with scott. you know, i heard there's a new
5:58 pm
chant in philly after the raid last night. "phase 2 coming soon." and i think that we need to change laws in this country. i think that's the first, you know, real step as far as finance reform, re-regulating wall street, bringing back glass steagall, a number of different issues. scott hit the nail on the head. this isn't going away. the movement is going to go guard a forward and we're going to change things. >> robert, whether this young man wants to or not, he's a folk hero for a lot of americans right in line with the thinking of the 99%ers out there and what their mission is and what they want to do. oftentimes movements like this have benchmark moments. is is that onerecovery? >> his being attacked i think and his recovery and the students at uc davis and the police overreaction all are indicative of a building and growing and important social movement. you know, it's only going to get stronger and stronger, ed. 400,000 veterans are coming back
5:59 pm
from iraq. where are the jobs for them? the 99%ers are going to need to speak up for them. >> now, the occupy wall street are promising a day of action that's going to be focusing on the foreclosure crisis. jesse, what about this? is this the next big move? >> there's a couple big moves coming up. there's going to be a large march here in new york city tomorrow. i believe december 6th is going to be the nationwide foreclosure movement. then you have occupy congress coming up all next week. we've got stuff planned for next year. our problems are not going away. neither are we. >> guys, is this the way it's going to be were 2012? what do you think, robert? >> yes, no question about it. the profound inequities in our country, the structural problems, the fact that the 1% exploited the other 99%, we've got huge issues. thank goodness for the heroes and heroines for the occupy movement and standing up and forcing everybody in this country to have a discu

Whole School Safeguarding Policy
Purpose and Aims
The purpose of Buckholme Towers safeguarding policy is to provide a secure framework for the workforce in safeguarding and promoting those pupils who attend our school.
The DfE's Keeping Children Safe in Education defines Safeguarding as:
'Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is defined for the purposes of this guidance as: protecting children from maltreatment; preventing impairment of children's health or development; ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.'
Our school policy aims to ensure that:
All our pupils are safe and protected from harm.
Other elements of provision and policies are in place to enable pupils to feel safe and adopt safe practices;
Staff, pupils, visitors, volunteers and parents are aware of the expected behaviours' and the school's legal responsibilities in relation to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all of our pupils.
Buckholme Towers has signed up to the Dorset Overarching Information Sharing Protocol, which allows information to be shared at MARAC (Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference) and the school to receive DV1 (Domestic Violence) alerts.
Safeguarding in Buckholme is considered everyone's responsibility and as such our school aims to create the safest environment within which every pupil has the opportunity to achieve their Five Outcomes. Buckholme recognises the contribution it can make in ensuring that all pupils registered or who use our school feel that they will be listened to and appropriate action taken. We will do this by endeavouring to work in partnership with other agencies and seek to establish effective working relationships with parents, carers and other colleagues to develop and provide activities and opportunities throughout our curriculum that will help to equip our children with the skills they need. This will include materials and learning experiences that will encourage our children to develop essential life skills and protective behaviours.
Responsibilities and expectations
The Proprietors at Buckholme Towers have a legal responsibility to make sure that the school has an effective safeguarding policy and procedures in place and monitors that the school complies with them. The Proprietors should also ensure that the policy is made available to parents and carers if requested. It is also the responsibility of the Proprietors to ensure that all staff and volunteers are properly checked to make sure they are safe to work with the pupils who attend our school and that the school has procedures for handling allegations of abuse made against members of staff (including the Head Teacher) or volunteers.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead is Iain Robertson (email@example.com). If he is not available then his DSL Alternate (Deputy) is Judy Hook (firstname.lastname@example.com) (This person can also be contacted with any safeguarding concerns).
Other staff with specific areas of responsibility for Safeguarding are as follows:
E Safety Champion - Mr Ian Roberts (email@example.com)
Anti-Bullying – Mrs J Hook
Prevent Lead – Mr I Robertson (see separate section below)
Allegations Management – Mr I Robertson and Mrs J Hook
Buckholme Towers' staff are active participants in the Bournemouth and Poole LSCB and as such promote the ten standards of the Compact to which they have signed up to. This includes an annual audit of all safeguarding procedures.
It is the responsibility of the DSL to ensure that all safeguarding issues raised in school are effectively responded to, recorded and referred to the appropriate agency. They are also responsible for arranging whole school safeguarding training for all staff and volunteers who work with children and young people in our school. The DSL has a role in ensuring that the whole school safeguarding training takes place at least every three years (recommended).
The DSL is required to attend or ensure that a senior member of staff who has the relevant training and access to appropriate supervision, attends where appropriate, all conferences, core groups or meetings where it concerns a child at our school and to contribute to multi-agency discussions to safeguard and promote the child's welfare.
The DSL is required to complete an annual Self-Review Assessment Audit which demonstrates that the Safeguarding arrangements in the school are being met. If the self-assessment highlights any areas for improvement, this will be detailed in the action plan.
All Child Protection concerns need to be acted on immediately. If you are concerned that a child may be at risk or is actually suffering abuse, you should tell the DSL.
All Adults, including the DSL, have a duty to refer all known or suspected cases of abuse to the relevant agency including social services or the police. Where a disclosure is made to a visiting staff member from a different agency, it is the responsibility of that agency staff to formally report the referral to the School's Designated Person in the first instance. Any records made should be kept securely on the Child's main school/child Protection file.
Recognising concerns, signs and indicators of abuse
Safeguarding is not just about protecting children from deliberate harm. For our school it includes such things as pupil safety, bullying, racist abuse and harassment, educational visits, intimate care, children missing education and internet safety etc. The witnessing of abuse can also have a damaging affect on those who are party to it, as well as the child subjected to the actual abuse, and in itself will have a significant impact on the health and emotional well-being of the child. Abuse can take place in any family, institution or community setting, by telephone or on the internet. Abuse can often be difficult to recognize as children may behave differently or seem unhappy for many reasons, as they move through the stages of childhood or their family circumstances change. However, it is important to know the indicators of abuse and to be alert to the need to consult further.
Physical Abuse
This can involve hitting, shaking, throwing, poisoning, punching, kicking, scalding, burning, drowning and suffocating. It can also result when a parent or carer deliberately causes the ill health of a child in order to seek attention through fabricated or induced illness. This was previously known as Munchhausen's Syndrome by Proxy.
Emotional Abuse
Emotional Abuse is where a child's need for love, security, recognition and praise is not met. It may involve seeing or hearing the ill-treatment of someone else such as in Domestic Violence or Domestic Abuse. A parent, carer or authority figure is considered emotionally abusive when they are consistently hostile, rejecting, threatening or undermining toward a child or other family member. It can also occur when children are prevented from having social contact with others or if inappropriate expectations are placed upon them. Symptoms that indicate emotional abuse include:
- Excessively clingy or attention seeking.
- Very low self-esteem or excessive self-criticism.
- Withdrawn behaviour or fearfulness.
- Lack of appropriate boundaries with strangers; too eager to please.
- Eating disorders or self-harm
Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse involves forcing or enticing a child or young person to take part in sexual activities, whether or not the child is aware of what is happening. This may include physical contact both penetrative and non-penetrative, or viewing pornographic material including through the use of the internet. Indicators of sexual abuse include: allegations or disclosures, genital soreness, injuries or disclosure, sexually transmitted diseases, inappropriate sexualized behaviour including words, play or drawing.
Neglect is the persistent failure to meet a child's basic physical and/or psychological needs which can significantly harm their health and development. Neglect can include inadequate supervision (being left alone for long periods of time), lack of stimulation, social contact or education, lack of appropriate food, shelter, appropriate clothing for conditions and medical attention and treatment when necessary.
What to do if you are concerned
If a child makes an allegation or disclosure of abuse against an adult or other child or young person, it is important that you:
- Stay calm and listen carefully.
- Reassure them that they have done the right thing in telling you.
- Do not investigate or ask leading questions.
- Let them know that you will need to tell someone else.
- Do not promise to keep what they have told you a secret.
- Inform your Senior Designated Person as soon as possible.
- Make a written record of the allegation, disclosure or incident which you must sign, date and record your position.
If you are concerned that a member of staff or adult in a position of trust poses a danger to a child or young person or that they might be abusing a child or young person you should report your concerns to the Headteacher. Where those concerns relate to the Headteacher however, this should be reported to the Senior Teacher using the school's Whistle blowing policy.
Managing Allegations
We are aware of the possibility of allegations being made against members of staff or volunteers that are working or may come into contact with children and young people whilst in our school. Allegations will usually be that some kind of abuse has taken place. They can be made by children and young people or other concerned adults. Allegations are made for a variety of reasons:
- Abuse has actually taken place.
- Something has happened to the child that reminds them of a past event – the child is unable to recognise that the situation and people are different; Children can misinterpret your language or your actions.
- Some children recognize that allegations can be powerful and if they are angry with you about something they can make an allegation as a way of hitting out.
- An allegation can be a way of seeking attention.
If an allegation is made against an adult in a position of trust whether they be members of staff or volunteers this should be brought to the immediate attention of the SDP who will advise the Headteacher. In the case of the allegation being made against the Headteacher this will be brought to the immediate attention of the Senior Teacher. The Headteacher will need to discuss with the Local Authority Designated Officer (based a few doors up from the school) the nature of the allegations in order for the appropriate action to be taken. This may constitute an initial evaluation meeting or strategy discussion depending on the allegation being made. Headteachers will need to:
- Refer to the LADO* immediately and follow up in writing within 48 hours. Consider safeguarding arrangements of the child or young person to ensure they are away from the alleged abuser.
- Contact the parents or carers of the child/young person if advised to do so by the LADO.
- Consider the rights of the staff member for a fair and equal process of investigation.
- Ensure that the appropriate disciplinary procedures are followed including whether suspending a member of staff from work until the outcome of any investigation is deemed necessary.
- Act on any decision made in any strategy meeting.
- Advise the Independent Safeguarding Authority where a member of staff has been disciplined or dismissed as a result of the allegations being founded.

All members of staff and volunteers will have access to whole school safeguarding training at least every two years. We will also, as part of our induction, issue information in relation to our Safeguarding policy and any policy related to safeguarding and promoting our children/young people's welfare to all newly appointed staff and volunteers.
Our Designated Safeguarding Leader and Alternate will undertake further safeguarding training in addition to the whole school training. This will be undertaken at least every two years which updates their awareness and understanding of the impact of the wide agenda of safeguarding issues. This will support both the DSL/Alternate to be able to better undertake their role and support the school in ensuring our safeguarding arrangements are robust and achieving better outcomes for the pupils in our school. This includes taking part in multi-agency training in addition to safeguarding training.
The Proprietors will have access to safeguarding training and our Designated Person for Safeguarding will also undertake additional training at least every two years to support their employers' role in Handling Allegations against adults who work with children and young people, including our staff and volunteers.
Our safeguarding arrangements are reviewed on a termly basis and our Safeguarding policy is reviewed annually, in order to keep it updated and in line with local and national guidance/legislation.
We will include a summary of our Safeguarding Policy to parents in our school prospectus/website and will post copies of our policy throughout the school. We are also able to arrange for our policy to be made available to parents whose first language is not English on request.
The Prevent Duty and Buckholme Towers School
- It is essential that staff are able to identify children who may be vulnerable to radicalisation and know what to do when they are identified.
- This is part of our wider safeguarding duties, similar to protecting children from other harms.
- Staff will build up pupils' resilience to radicalisation by promoting fundamental British values and enabling them to challenge extremist views.
Risk Assessment
- General risks vary from area to area and according to age, it is important that we understand the local context
- We need to be aware of the risk of online radicalisation
- We need to be aware of any changes in children's behaviour which may indicate involvementand help identify children at risk
- Staff must take action when they observe behaviour of concern
- Make a referral to the Channel programme which can support at an early stage where concerns are identified
Working in Partnership
- There are local partnership arrangements, which the LSCBs are responsible for co-ordinating in relation to children
- Local authorities work with all agencies
- Effective engagement with parents/family is important
Staff Training
- Prevent awareness training to equip staff
- Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent (WRAP)
- The DSL (Iain Robertson )has undertaken Prevent awareness training
IT Policies
- The School ensures suitable filtering
- Equip children and young people to stay safe online
- Raise staff awareness of online risks
Building Children's resilience to radicalisation
- PSHE can be effective in exploring sensitive or controversial issues and used to teach pupils to recognise and manage risk, make safer choices, and recognise when pressure from others threatens their personal safety and wellbeing
- Also use PSHE to develop resilience, determination, self-esteem and confidence
- Pupils need to know where to go to get help
- Citizenship teaches pupils about democracy, government and how laws are made and upheld
If you have a concern, act
- Discuss with the SSCT01202 222844 or
- Ring 101

Current Safeguarding Issues
The following Safeguarding issues are all considered to be child Protection issues and should be referred immediately to the most relevant agency. The issues featured below are linked to guidance and local procedures which can be found on the Local Safeguarding Children Board website.
Some members of our communities hold beliefs that may be common within particular cultures but which are against the law of England. Buckholme does not condone practices that are illegal and which are harmful to children. Examples of particular practices are:
Forced Marriage
Buckholme does not support the idea of forcing someone to marry without their consent.
Under-age Marriage
In England, a young person cannot legally marry until they are 16 years old (without the consent of their parents or carers) nor have sexual relationships.
Genital mutilation/female circumcision
This is against the law yet for some communities it is considered a religious act and cultural requirement. It is illegal for someone to arrange for a child to go abroad with the intention of having her circumcised. If any of the above areas of concern is brought to the attention of Buckholme staff we will report those concerns to the appropriate agency in order to prevent this form of abuse taking place.
In line with legislation (October 2015) staff are aware of the requirement to report any disclosure by a child under 18 years old that they have suffered FGM, to the police.
Ritualistic Abuse
Some faiths believe that spirits and demons can possess people (including children). What should never be considered is the use of any physical or psychological violence to get rid of the possessing spirit. This is abusive and will result in the criminal conviction of those using this form of abuse even if the intention is to help the child.
Children Missing Education
"Basic to safeguarding children is to ensure their attendance at school." (OFSTED 2002). Children are best protected by regularly attending school where they will be safe from harm and where there are professionals to monitor their well-being. At Buckholme we will encourage the full attendance of all of our children at school. Where we have concerns that a child is missing education because of suspected abuse, we will liaise with the appropriate agency including the Education Attendance Service to effectively manage the risks and to prevent abuse from taking place.
Sexually Active under Eighteen years old
It is acknowledged by those working with young people that most young people under the age of 18 will have an interest in sex and sexual relationships. The Protocol for Sexually Active Young People under 18 years old has been designed to assist those working with children and young people to identify where these relationships may be abusive, and the children and young people may need the provision of protection or additional services. At Buckholme we will ensure our policy for managing this issue links to the available protocol.
Safeguarding Disabled Children
Disabled children have exactly the same human rights to be safe from abuse and neglect, to be protected from harm and achieve the Every Child Matters outcomes as non-disabled children.
Disabled children do however require additional action. This is because they experience greater risks and 'created vulnerability' as a result of negative attitudes about disabled children and unequal access to services and resources, and because they may have additional needs relating to physical, sensory, cognitive and/ or communication impairment (Safeguarding Children, DCSF, July 2009) Buckholme will ensure that our disabled children are listen too and responded to appropriately where they have concerns regarding abuse. In order to do this we will ensure that our staff and volunteers receive the relevant training to raise awareness and have access to specialist staff in the event they have concerns regarding abuse of a child.
Safer Recruitment and Selection
It is a requirement for all agencies to ensure that all staff recruited to work with children and young people are properly selected and checked. At Buckholme we will ensure that we have a member on every recruitment panel who has received the appropriate recruitment and selection training. That all of our staff are appropriately qualified and have the relevant employment history and checks to ensure they are safe to work with children in compliance with the Key Safeguarding Employment Standards.
Honour Based Violence
Honour based violence' is a crime or incident, which has or may have been committed to protect or defend the honour of the family and/or community'. It is important to be alert to signs of distress and indications such as self-harm, absence from school and truancy, infections resulting from female genital mutilation, isolation from peers, being monitored by family, not participating in school activities, unreasonable restrictions at home. Where it is suspected that a child/young person is at risk from Honour based violence, Buckholme Towers will report those concerns to the appropriate agency in order to prevent this form of abuse taking place.
Trafficked Children
Child trafficking involves moving children across or within national or international borders for the purposes of exploitation. Exploitation includes children being used for sex work, domestic work, restaurant/ sweatshop, drug dealing, shoplifting and benefit fraud. Where Buckholme Towers is made aware of a child is suspected of or actually being trafficked/exploited we will report our concerns to the appropriate agency.
Domestic Abuse
The Government defines domestic abuse as"Any incident of threatening behaviour, violence or abuse (psychological, physical, sexual, financial or emotional) between adults who are or have been intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality".
Staff need to understand what is required of them if children are members of the household where domestic abuse is known or suspected to be taking place. Our policy includes action to be taken regarding referrals to the Police and Children and Young People's Services and any action to be taken where a member of staff is the alleged perpetrator or victim of domestic abuse. At Buckholme we will follow our safeguarding policy and report any suspected concerns regarding Domestic Abuse to the relevant agency.
Private Fostering
Private fostering is an arrangement made between the parent and the private foster carer, who then becomes responsible for caring for the child in such a way as to safeguard and promote his/her welfare.
A privately fostered child means a child under the age of 16 (18 if a disabled child) who is cared for and provided with accommodation by someone other than:
- A parent.
- A person who is not a parent but has parental responsibility.
- A close relative.
- A Local Authority.
- for more than 28 days and where the care is intended to continue. It is a statutory duty for us at Buckholme Towers to inform the Local Authority where we are made aware of a child or young person who may be subject to private fostering arrangements.
Child Sexual Exploitation and E-Safety
Children and young people can be exploited and suffer bullying through their use of modern technology such as the internet, mobile phones and social networking sites. In order to minimize the risks to our children and young people, Buckholme Towers will ensure that we have in place appropriate measures such as security filtering, and an acceptable use policy linked to our E-Safety policy. We will ensure that staff are aware of how not to compromise their position of trust in or outside of the school and are aware of the dangers associated with social networking sites.
Our E-safety policy will clearly state that mobile phone or electronic communications with a student at our school is not acceptable other than for approved school business e.g. coursework, mentoring. Where it is suspected that a child is at risk from internet abuse or cyber bullying we will report our concerns to the appropriate agency.
The above list is not exhaustive and as new policy guidance and legislation develops within the remit of Safeguarding we will review and update our policies and procedures as appropriate and in line with the Local Safeguarding Children Board and Local Authority.
Updated documents that all staff should refer to:
- Keeping Children Safe in Education – Updated July 2015
- Pages 13 and 14 have been updated to emphasise the existing requirements with regards to the admission register and children missing from education.
- Pages 14 and 15 have been updated to reflect the upcoming commencement of the mandatory reporting duty with regards to Female Genital Mutilation
- Pages 15-17 have been updated to reflect the commencement of the Prevent duty

Sex cravings, children seeing monsters and foul-mouthed rants: Residents of Kazakh 'Village of the Damned' hit by mysterious 'sleeping sickness' reveal sufferers' disturbing new symptoms
'People living in Kazakhstan's 'Village of the Damned' have spoken of the horrifying side effects of the mysterious sleeping sickness which can leave them unconscious for days – as others reveal they fear they are being poisoned to force them to make way for a gold mine.
When a photojournalist spent a night at the infamous village, she was told of how children have seen their mothers grow eyes on their foreheads and usually well-mannered pensioners denounce their nurses as 'whores' and 'prostitutes'.
Meanwhile, men struggle with uncontrollable sexual desires after waking from the coma-like sleep in the village of Kalachi, in northern Kazakhstan.
It is the first time residents of the village, which has also been dubbed 'Sleepy Hollow', have spoken of the debilitating side effects.'

Shearings Christmas Coach Holiday to Provence
[google-map-sc width=595 height=200 zoom=8]
Being one of the most popular regions in France, Provence is an ideal place to go on a Shearings Christmas coach holiday. Meandering through the French Alps and seeing the Mediterranean Sea and the French Riviera at this festive time of year is simply breathtaking. There are many fascinating sights to see along the way, passing through Bouches-du-Rhone where Van Gogh spent a lot of time, and through the stunning picturesque villages of Vaucluse.
There is a wonderful, laid-back attitude in this region of France with the coastline popular with the rich and famous, such as in Saint-Tropez and Nice. Marseilles is France's second largest city and is ideal for shopping and big city adventures, although being on a Shearings Christmas coach holiday to Provence there is the chance to stop at the Christmas markets and snap up festive souvenirs and local produce at will.
From the snow-capped mountains to the cool climate of the French Riviera and the achingly beautiful Verdon Gorge river canyon, there are lots of things to see and do here. Stunning cathedrals and antique theatres as well as the ruins of the Roman settlements at Nimes are just some of the unique sights. The Roman Pont du Gard aqueduct is also well worth a look.
Staying in Provence on a Shearings Christmas coach holiday ensures you get to see the finest attractions and experience fabulous French cuisine, too. The nine-day tour takes you through Monaco and Monte Carlo, rubbing shoulders with the well-heeled residents, and staying in the Miramar Beach Hotel; a 4-star beauty that overlooks the sea. From seaside cafés and restaurants to casinos and fabulous harbours, this part of Provence is mind-blowing. With optional tours to Antibes and St Paul de Vence, there are lots of things to do while you're here and Christmas time is ideal as it's a little quieter.
