He comments on the effects of Obamacare on small businesses in Iowa. Congressman King also speaks of a recent article in The New York Times on the "Pigford scandal" described as a""a runaway train, driven by racial politics, pressure from influential members of Congress and law firms that stand to gain more than $130 million in fees."

Congressman King, who was very much criticized for taking a stand, has now been vindicated by the New York Times article. When asked if it was worth it, to stand on principle, he does not hesitate to reply yes, and to further describe the corruption and the methods employed by the left to divide the country by race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, something that he calls "the worse, illegal SIN...," to achieve political gains...

Segment 4

The View from Abroad. The UN and wikileaks. Edward Patrick Flaherty, former Chairman RA Switzerland.
Mr. Flaherty speaks of a project similar to “wikileaks”, a place where UN employees , “whistleblowers” can upload documents that may reveal illegal behavior by the organization. Calling attention to the fact that the institution enjoys “international immunity,” it is difficult for wronged contractors and employees to litigate against it. “The system is corrupt and the UN must be held accountable,[ if only], in the court of public opinion.” For Mr. Flaherty notes that the “UN wikileaks” may elicit “public shame,” in the US (at least) especially since the US pays 25% of the UN’s costs. The UN is a “complete secret society-a Mafia without guns.”
