talk about south carolina for a second. this is your 9th facility if i'm not mistaken in south carolina. what is it about that state that keeps you coming back? >> hi, david. good to be with you. 40 years ago we started producing michelin tires in the state of south carolina. over that time we've been growing and groping and growing. we've had a lot of success. we just opened today our new plant that makes these large earth movers tires. tires behind me. that is the first tire. it was just produced. this is actually the second plant that makes earth mover tires that we've got up now in south carolina. what is really interesting about this, is that 80% of these earth mover tires made in south carolina, are exporters of the rest of the world. david: right. >> 30% go to canada and 50% go to container ships in the rest of the world. not only manufacturing in the united states but we're producing products and sending them to the rest of the world. so that is very interesting story. david: by the way, i don't know if you get a se

can south carolina decide not to follow a federal law? >> what south carolina is offering to do is instruct employees not to participate in facilitating the law and prohibit public funds on the law. translate? if the president wants obama care in south carolina, the feds will have to pay for it and establish it. can they do that? the worry is yes. remember the original obama care ordered the states to establish and pay for their own exchanges and the supreme court upheld the constitutionality of the obama care, it didn't invalidate and saying that congress is without authority to commander the states and tell them how to enforce law and spend money. so south carolina can to that. >> according to the constitution. they can tell their employees not to accept a federal program? >> no. it cannot stop their employees from seening up for obama care individually as private persons, but it can stop their employees from using government jobs to cooperate with the federal government or to enforce its laws. >> so if south carolina, does this, succes

that's what's going on down in south carolina right now. i didn't find a single republican that said they were going to vote for her, nor were they going to vote for vince, the popular state senator, a democrat, who almost beat her the last time. so listen, she has managed somehow to make everybody in the state pretty upset, except for a lot of the tea party. and then she kind of skrud that up by going out and endorsing lindsey graham. here we are. what we are finding is that nicki hailey is remarkably popular in 49 states, none of which is south carolina. >> where it matters. >> you point out in this article people forget that she only won election as governor by four points, but going back to that lindsey graham piece, senator in south carolina a long time, facing a serious, i would say, challenge from the right, from the tea party flank. if hailey's so unpopular there, i mean, does it actually help lindsey graham that she's saying nice things about him? >> well, what she's doing is she's now trying to go to the middle. again, remember, t

hucks from greenville, south carolina sent me a letter. his premiums are going up 75 percent and his deductible from ten this happened to 25 this happened. and premiums from 450 to 800 a month. a co-pay plan 1500 a month for a family of four. prem yups are sky rocketing and the unfortunate part they are about price, deductibles and co-pay ands outof pocket expenses are the costs. they are exploding and we'll see more bad news once the sen million young people do not enroll, next year, and year two, premiums will be based on the actual information that is dismal and we'll have worse rates and not better rates. >> yay carne is a smart guy, why would he put his neck out on this. and maybe he would get lucky and the miracle would happen and the price will come down and make everybody flush with cash. why is he sticking his neck out and saying those things with great savings? >> i have no idea. if they can control the price on the front end it means the cost the rise on the back end. you can find a way for a insurance company to provide a insur

folks in south carolina -- i'll tell you that in south carolina, we have about 4.7 million people. 600,000 or 700,000 folks do not have health insurance coverage. 4.6 million, 4.7 million south carolinians of which about 700,000 today do not have health insurance. but under obamacare, we would hope, we would hope that the number would go down, not up up. go from 7 hoopt down to 600,000 or 500,000, 400,000. it is over 430,000 of the 700,000 people are eligible for obamacare. but the number is not going down. the number is going up. because 150,000 south carolinians have received cancellation notices. let's frame that a little bit. we have 700,000 uninsured of which 430,000 are eligible for obamacare. and yet instead of seeing the number of uninsured go from 700,000 down to 600,000 or 500,000 or 400,000, we've seen the number go up because 150,000 people have received cancellation notices. 150,000 south carolinians have received cancellation notices. so -- someone would obviously ask the question how many folks have signed up for obamacare in south carolina? if 430,000 south carolinians are

in south carolina, small businesses make up half of our economy. sadly, these hardworking business owners have been suffering devastating setbacks due to the president's job-destroying policies. more recently, the failed implementation of obamacare has forced higher taxes and extensive regulations on these employers. this unfriendly business climate has prevented small business owners from expanding and creating jobs. while traveling in south carolina's second congressional district, i continuously hear from small business, the national federation of independent business and employees who are plagued with uncertainty. smaller paychecks, inability to meet insurance requirements and reduced hours are some of the concerns. congress must work together to replace obamacare with commonsense solutions that has long proposed by congressman tom price of georgia. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the war on terrorism. congratulations to steve spurrier and the president for the gamecock victory saturday. the speaker

i assume the people in south carolina want people to have health care what do you do? >> one of the things to lower the cost of health insurance we could allow for competition across state lines and allow for small business owners to group their funds together. >> why didn't we do that? >> that is one of the failures of the preobamacare world is we could have addressed medical tort reform and we didn't do it. we have to reintroduce common sense into the marketplace. and we could fund insurance pools to give those with preexisting conditions more opportunities. if you are in a group plan, preexisting conditions are absorbed. when you are in an individual market there is no group. you have to pay higher rates to find your insurance. that is going to be the challenge. that coupled with out of pocket expenses going from 6,000 to as high as 12,000 means those who cannot afford insurance they get the free health care checkup but they can't take care of the challenges in that checkup what do they do next? >> there is a heart breaker. i want to talk about the bipartisan budget

>> we have been in south carolina now for 40 years. as you said, we are starting up our ninth plant which will be making these large tires you see behind me. that tire back there is the largest tire in the world. it is 13 feet tall, weighs and used ins, it large construction and mining applications. this is the second earth mover tire plants we will have in the state of south carolina. what is interesting about this, it not only is michelin building new manufacturing facilities in the united states, but 80% of these large earth mover tires we're making here will be exported around the world. make a good point. that is a huge tire, by the way. 80% of those tires will go overseas. if we look at the underlying fundamentals of the mining sector, we hear things from alsopillar, rio tinto divesting assets. what difference demand do you see in the mining sector? the mining sector is very cyclical, as you well know. it goes up and down. there is still long-term growth. this year, mining output will increase. it is projected to increase next ye

i turn it back to the senator from south carolina. the presiding officer: the senator from south carolina. mr. graham: i think the senator from illinois has a request. the presiding officer: the senator from illinois. mr. durbin: first i want to thank my colleagues from new hampshire and south carolina for allowing me to intervene between their colloquy and remarks to make this request, which we have discussed with the other side. mr. president, there is at least an opportunity or a tradition at the end of a calendar year that we take the nominations pending in the united states senate both in committee and on the calendar and literally return them to the white house. that means the beginning of the next year we start over. it may mean a hearing, it may mean postponement, but we lose all that we've achieved up to this point. we absolutely have to start over. i would like to argue at this point that we seriously consider changing that tradition and i'll make unanimous consent to change it. there are some 238 total nominees that are at

in a colloquy with the senator from south carolina. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mccain: i'm sure that my colleague and friend saw the article in the "wall street journal" this morning that says -- quote -- "france doubts iran ready for nuclear pact. foreign minister laurent fabius questions whether tehran is willing to abandon the ability to build an atomic bomb." and really in the first chapter -- the first paragraph of this story what fundamentally i would ask my colleague is really the fundamental problem. there are many issues concerning the iranian lie, cheat for years and years about their continued progress towards the acquisition of a nuclear weapon. but i would ask my -- my friend from south carolina, isn't it really about the most important -- let me put it this way. the most important aspect of this whole issue of these negotiations is the right to enrich? in other words, will the iranians -- haven't we already given over to them the right to continue to have the centrifuges spin and the enrichment process

south carolina as we've seen with north carolina, georgia, and elsewhere in the south has a very sophisticated general electorate. and so the party has to be, i think, cognizant of these changes certainly at the grassroots level. more broadly speaking, it's about managing a relationship with a burgeoning and still growing tea party element within the party. well, affiliated with the party. these folks are not necessarily inside the party. they're not republican hard core activists in that sense. these are a lot of folks who have been disaffected or moved out of the party who are coming back in through a different door. the party's not managed that well over the past few years. >> the tea party's still growing. we may offer a different point of view sometimes, but i got to tell you i sense it's out there and festering. i don't think the center of the republican party has been zrong enough to take it on. >> well, the republican party is kind of nurturing the conservative movement for decades. they can't just say it's no longer working for us. we were kidding. their infrastructure has spread mass

began in the tiny mill town of south carolina. in march of 1944, two white girls ages 11 and 7 were beaten to death while picking wild flowers along the railroad tracks separating the white and black sections of town. historian george fryer said -- >> the bodies were found in the creek bed in this general area and they had been brutally murdered. >> reporter: shortly after they arrested george stinney jr. and claimed he gave an oral confession. the family was run out of town and he was tried in this courtroom packed with whites only. ray brown, who is producing a movie about the case, says the real killer got a way and the trial was a sham. >> he clearly was railroaded. there was no evidence. nobody could find anything. >> the trial lasted just two hours and jury took only ten minutes to convict and stinney was sentenced to die. during the trial here he was represented by a court appointed lawyer, who never put on his own case. never attacked the state's case and never filed an appeal, which would have delayed the execution by a y

linda in south carolina, myrtle beach. caller: hi. i just wanted to say, this democratic party is not my father's democratic party. i was 18 and registered as a democrat because he was a democrat. i am 70 years old now. i mostly have voted republican. i have voted for some democrats but mostly republicans. these democrats, this day and rudest --he crudest, i cannot even describe them. and another thing that ticks me off is i believe in what the tea party believes. i am not a member of the tea party. in tea party just believes smaller government and lower taxes. host: with senator graham coming up for reelection in facing a primary, are you going to support senator graham or his opponent? caller: there are some things i liked about senator graham. but recently there are some things he has done that i am not happy about. sometimes i wonder if he is a republican or democrat. so i am not sure what i am going to do about that. jump and getto this last call in. mike from arizona, republican. you are the last word. caller: good morning. i wo

, south carolina, reaching out to their areas. and in the midwest and up in the northwest. mr. president, the reason they did that is because there are new flood maps going into effect in all of these places. i call attention to the diagram here, flood maps in the united states. in purple, these were the flood maps that were in effect as of july 2012. in the green, these are proposed flood maps that have been introduced. you can see how many green designations there are. and in the goldish color here, new flood maps possible. there is no state that is going to escape these new flood maps. but as elizabeth warren said, senator warren, they are inaccurate. they don't have the capability, the finances, the resources to produce, or the technology in some cases, to produce accurate flood maps. there have been record number of mistakes that have been made that we have provided for the public testimony. in addition, i'd like to show a map of where levies -- levees are. there are many, many levees, i was surprised myself having become an

in south carolina, they enrolled almost 100,000 children using this method. we just had published the national report on express lane eligibility, and a lot of folks said, well, you know, if we're not forcing people to fill out paperwork, do we really know that they know they have coverage? are we just using care? what our colleagues over at mathematics have found is there is almost no difference between a percentage of people who use coverage for kids who are enrolled using these highly streamlined automatic methods. a difference between kids who actually used care. so what this means is we can't highly streamline. they would use the same strategies that maryland and louisiana had used instead of 46% response rate. we would have 9 to 100 of these folks signed up for coverage. the good news is, it's not a one-step coverage. you just heard the people from alabama or virginia, and if we saw that here, you would have a step-by-step process. the media coverage from the aca, oh, my god, what's happening now? is it a success? is it a failure? we're going to have pr

i'm going to sign up in the south carolina exchange. my premiums will go up by almost $5,000 and the coverage coverage i get is a fraction. this movie is coming to you soon. the goal of the bill is to put everybody into government-run health care. harry reid said this is the first step toward single payer health care coverage. this is not about covering the uninsured. it is about destroying the ability of the private sector to offer health care. we all have to buy it through the government and get what the government gives us on the terms they want. that's what this is about. obama's dreams has been a single-payer health care system. he's doing through obama care what he couldn't do directly. >> what the president keeps saying is as long as i'm president, this isn't going to change. that's what he said. you're laughing at that? >> yeah. i'm laughing at that. here's what i think. the american people. you could sue the obama administration. some of the spokesmen could have gone to jail. this is about politics. mark my words. write down th

south carolina governor nikki haley is a military spouse, her husband deployed for afghanistan a year ago. but now captain mike haley just got back and joins along with the governor. good evening. what is it like to be home? >> it's great to be back. s if as i left it, so everything is all good here. >> and governor, how about you, are you glad to have him back or has he come back and taken over the remote control and doing all those things husbands do that is annoying? >> oh, greta, we got our christmas wish. when i saw him, i've taken the first breath i've taken in an entire year. >> one of the good things that when politicians have a real life experience, so many military families go through such -- it's tough. and so for politicians to actually experience it, i think you understand better. you get it. >> we're a military family first before i'm an elected official. and so what i know is the sacrifices that are made on both sides. our loved ones go overseas and fight for our freedoms and our country. we are so proud. but at the same time, we become single parents, we become the fin

i grew up in south carolina and strom thurmon would say this. you do hear this from some older southerners. praising strom thurman saying if you had won, things wouldn't have been so bad. so that's part of that sort of southern older society. i do think within the republican party, there had been moments sort of built into the system where politicians could sort of give the wink and the nod to these sorts of things when republicans would go to south carolina. they would weigh in on terms of how they felt about the confederate flag. they would go to the university for instance. your dad, ron reagan, he goes to philadelphia and mississippi praising state's rights. there are always those sorts of things. but now that doesn't really exist. here is this opportunity in this very kind of big way for them to do the same sort of thing with these pop culture figures. >> i want to get more political here. the far right's defense of robertson i want to talk about, has been built around the concept of freedom of speech and religion. this is sarah palin with

your ninth in south carolina. what do you like about this state? >> well, we've been in cycsouth carolina now for 40 years. we started in the mid 1970s. we've made over $5 billion of investments here over the last 40 years. and those investments have paid off extremely well and that has motivated us to continue to invest. today, we're opening a brand new facility here in anderson county, south carolina. we're making these larger earth mover tires as you can see over my shoulder. and these earth mover tires are interesting because 80% of what we're going to produce here in the united states will be exported to the rest of the world. not only is michelin building plants here, but we're building this in the rest of the world. it's a great story. you theoretically could have built this plant somewhere else, right? if you weren't in north america, where would it be? >> you're exactly right. when we analyze where we're going to putplants, we certainly can build them anywhere in the world. but our strategy is to build our passenger car tire and our commer

regarding south carolina i think there is no shortage of fireworks that are going to fly in south carolina. it's very interesting because you have both senators up for reelection and interesting enough senator scott hasn't come out and endorsed his colleague senator lindsey graham. so that is going to be i think a very intriguing and of course niki haley who why did you list as a potential 2016 candidate if she could win the free election in south carolina. so i think south carolina has a number of different issues that i think will provide additional fodder for what might be to come in 2016. >> host: the next call comes from rose hill. the author of the gop civil war. >> caller: hello? this is rose in new york. >> host: we are listening. >> caller: i've been disconnected three times. you should stop having phone lines. if you disconnect who wish to identify themselves as conservative republicans and wished to make comments because i have been on hold and disconnected for two hours. would you like to know what i think or to hang up on me again? >> host: we are all years. >> caller: well i'

several other states including north carolina and south carolina are similarly planning to take x. offers to boeing and states offer a billion dollar tax breaks incentive packages to giant transnational corporations you and i are the ones who foot the bill that's billions of dollars that are not being spent on the central government programs and services like education transportation health care and the boeing mega deals that washington state and missouri have offered up are not the exception or the norm back in two thousand and seven new york gave five point six billion dollars in taxpayer funds to alcoa the giant aluminum corporation in two thousand and four new mexico handed out two billion dollars in corporate tax breaks and subsidies to software giant intel just last year oregon lawmakers forked over just over two billion dollars to nike to keep or create only five hundred jobs in that state all across america states are handing over billions and billions in taxpayer dollars to giant corporations to try to attract new business or keep existing business and these so-called mega

papers there's a lot of interest with you will retire to dillon, south carolina and to write your kiss and tell book but do you envision a role for yourself in south carolina coast chairmanship and the broader question, dr. greenspan in his new book argues long-term investment, one of the reasons we may be seeing a slow economy is people are afraid, debt and deficits are reducing long-term investment the 4 companies are investing in the sorts of things that make them leaner, get by with fewer people but expansion we are not seeing, do you feel debt and deficits are on these long-term decisionsmaking an does it argue for more drastic action on the short-term? >> do you own the charlotte observer? >> most of my family is in north carolina and i have a number of family members in charlotte, also -- my wife and i will spend christmas vacation in north carolina. i have my uncle in dillon, he is 85, very chipper. okay, good. for the immediate future, my wife and i will stay in washington for a bit of time. about investment there are a lot of reasons why investment is weaker. liz: believe it

even in south carolina. nikki haley. she's polling at 44%. if the rising stars in the republican party aren't the senators and house members and they're the governors, your governors are in big trouble and you better watch out. because we may have majority of the governors next year. >> who knows better about the stars in the republican party than michael steele. >> there he is. >> you won't have a majority of governorships next year. nor will you have the majority in the senate at the end of 2014. i think there's a real movement afoot and a legitimate one by the gop to make the smart effort this time as opposed to the last two times where they've blown the opportunity to take the senate in 2014. but i think the bigger prediction for me, the presidential race takes shape in the 2014 primaries where we're seeing tea party and establishment republicans lock horns. the winner of that battle will set the stage for the governors and the senators and others who will put their names in the hat for 2016. >> i predict that you're going to see an unusu

so south carolina, the doj object did to south carolina law. that is another part of the voting rights act that we can discuss, how it was later applied. all of that is open for voter id laws to go across the country. courtdid the supreme decision say anything and particular about voter id echo guest: -- voter id? guest: it is the type of lot that affects an election and it would be under the preclearance provision of section five of the voting rights act. now the formula that determines whether or not you are cleared, no states are under that supervision anymore or municipality. voter id would have disproportional racial effects. the obamader administration has been stopping a bunch of those provisions. have some of them been cleared? guest: south carolina is allowed to stand, more or less. indiana went to the supreme court in 2008 and indiana was not a covert state at that point. it is a different question on whether or not it meets the voting rights act qualification. host: we just had election in virginia. any circumstantial evidence in ter

a presidential candidate who remains particularly a darling in south carolina. he is leading the pack. the entire pack. south carolina is just the tip of the iceberg, which is probably not the way to the governor likely to refer to it. but he has to be looking at these polls and he should be pretty happy. >> it's very interesting. not having been on the political stage for the past five years other than rio a television, and not being named in any survey when people say, who are you thinking about, this guy or this guy. and i haven't been on any of those lists. so was encouraging. neil: you're not on the rino lists. >> there's not a dime's worth of difference among republicans. there's no daylight between most of them. they all are against obamacare and offer lower taxes and limited government. the thing is, it's important if you like a candidate, tell us why he's gd. don't push or the other republicans. i do have a problem with some of the third parties. and what does it do? it softens up the republican makes it so he eased her prey in the democratic election.

the state capital in south carolina may not be doing it as well. they have the flag at half-staff but only to commemorate pearl harbor, not nelson mandela. he said it should be an honor reserved for american citizens and he spoke to whns. >> i have no problem with what he did in south africa and their country, but for our country it should be the people, in my opinion, who have sacrificed for our country. >> some may say rick clark is being stubborn about not lowering the flag at half-staff, but he's receiving an overwhelming amount of support on his facebook page when he came out with his position. take a look at his comments left on his facebook page from cheryl miller johnson. proud to have you in office, rick. thank you for all that you do. others left on this page supporting the sheriff. it seems a lot of folks have lost sight of this. >> he's saying he has no problem with the south african embassy, and the u.s. embassy in south africa lowering its flag, but it shouldn't be done here. >> no response from either corner? >> there is no legal ram
