A newly available video of a conversation between a donor and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker confirms Walker’s true intentions about labor—his bill was not about balancing the budget, as he claims, but about taking away labor rights and destroying unions one after another. John Nichols appears on the Ed Show to explain the impact and the importance of this new evidence on upcoming recall elections.
