there's absolutely adores but it was worth it
unlawfully yesterday shelled lacked in the midterm elections democrats of progressives
are hanging there has been one of the house
all the things he has a of two thousand eight fizzles tso facts bulb angels isn't happening
the former white house advisor on arrival job says this is not the time to lay down
ease some of the progress of a stop bundle up and prepare for about a joseph two major
fights laid head in the coming session of congress was the fight to make a social programs
and other is the struggle to save the environmental protection agency were apparently already
struggling with that
stuff of ngos is a senior fellow at the center for american progress
and a senior policy advisor green frog na bc joins me live from washington
uh then he'll tell you might really help that in this struggle is the president of the united
states of america bike it seems so often that uh he's laying down
uh in fact today we see his deficit commission to two leaders of it came out and said
you know we're gonna raise the retirement age
how do you feel about that
well it first of all uh i remember uh the campaign at the slogan that we have the slogan
was not yes he can't the slogan with yes we can do for the past two years most progresses
haven't written back
much and popcorn blogging and tweeting about what the president is not doing there was
nothing it's not just for the past two years from getting out there was never a little
underneath your labor march i during one of the worst uh economic recessions we've ever
had we had the will still be went down people didn't didn't participate that the progressive
based demobilized itself for the past two years and now it's time to say that yes what
it was never yes you can start about what the president does it's about what the people
do any that we've got to get passionate we've got to get passionate about the fact
uh that the e_p_a_ the internal protection agency is on the chopping block
in there are people who call themselves patriots
who want to weaken america's government to make sure that america's government instruments
protect the american people we can stand up on principle
and say look you keep attacking the federal government hate the federal government the
last time i checked
the federal government was america's government
and america's governors should be strong enough protecting american people from folks like
vp andy to explain us why you're on the robot on the on the side of multinational oil companies
course let up our coastline threat in the american people emeritus government but then
with addresses that are organized in academia what does the dishes was paid one out of a
hat afghanistan
so when some progress is said and we had to get out of it kenna sent a lot of democrats
than all other progressives or liberals would come in to go only dot how can you criticize
the president don't do that don't do that weakening the democrats should should we take
those people who put up with
dormancy
yet been stopped listening them altogether and full-scale attack
elizabeth whelan well what i'm saying is that level of your car levy passed and we need
more of a color more the passion back
both about what is widely
ordinary people right now are suffering
we believe that these banks charge cost us eight million jobs and people are asking how
many good jobs that the good thing is we have actual incidents of loses route to put americans
back americans back to work and the other side doesn't genocide is is busy indeed were
in danger now
of the other side saying the most important thing to us is closing
uh the fiscal deficit united we could talk about the jobs deficit democrats can't go
along with that we got to think that that's a job deficit
that's how you deal with the physical damage that they had if you don't do that to get
more that's number two that i carry on and i want this to static somewhat progresses
can do it this is an all night now watching this whether launching popcorn or not right
now
but i i would look on issues like this you've got to talk about the president
because the presents the one that put together a deficit commission
not only does come out today
and say hey i want to raise the retirement age for social security
so informal flying
what we have to fight the president to be backs out
there with me that they had never seen tidying up which is true that you can show with a
progressive movement
uh in the history of this country that sat around wondering what the president was gonna
do twenty four hours a day
we are on our own game whether the president on his face what will have the strength to
do what he needs to do when we show the strip that we have there's nothing to stop us since
the end up missing
we want about those eight million jobs back is only a few places would get the money for
those jobs the banks got a bunch for money halliburton as much for money and it will
cut these are a bunch of our money we want that might be used to put americans back to
work now we hit we stand on principle and say first of all we will refuse to have lisa
jackson is a hero for the progress of cost
vicki wrote for america forget progress across i'm trying to prevent us from baking the plan
of the greenhouse gases would refuse to have her power stripped away from supreme court
says he has the part of the people duty
to protect america from greenhouse gases that's a fight on principle come out now that fight
these people say they hate the federal government action if america's got which dictated that
the other thing is
we have right now nobody knows it's a good additional green jobs didn't work et cetera
that there's a bunch of bs we have eighty thousand coal miners in america right now
their america's heroes are risking their lives every day to keep our numerical were proud
of them but there are eighty thousand people who went to work today in the wind industry
in america as well and their heroes their forty six thousand americans who went to work
up because the slow industry in america right now that doesn't count by our biofuels a smart
creates mark batteries all the stuff that we invested in
there is actually doing the work if we have a problem in the green economy is because
congress has been
missing in action on the follow up with the climate bill we gotta stick up for our successes
stick up for what we've been doing we're growing the green economy about we've got a country
that is the we we are a world leader
because we have high economic performance anti-viral performance if you don't want if
you don't want to have our local forms go to look at it we get a chance to treat poison
the water and and and three small called a that statement to lead this country well
then high-tech couldn't agree more with you on the issue of don't wait for the administration
to do it
digital inside the administration you try to do it internally anything on the bus
so that one of the times that i decided that i'm not waiting for the ok but i think it's
just that it would be ok you got to tell me what a great caresses actually do because
the guys in the white house aren't our own and of course they were not writes the woody
lookin' at lavish human being that's out there they cares about the issues you're talking
about actually do
what will first of all i served in the white house has six months of our to do so i i resign
nobody threw me where are you guys are one of the violent military with a with a dire
is right now for about an hour of our reserve let me tell you this
i had a job before i went to the white house and i have a job now we've got eight million
americans that don't have jobs my critics have jobs what about people who don't have
jobs and what i what i want to say is this your organizations like green for all green
for all dot org which is going to be organizing people to stand up for this in the e_p_a_
it lisa jackson put the work protection back in the protection agency republicans want
to take it out we have a clue we had a fight over that was going to be will be a fight
to impose an austerity program on this country good guess what the private sector already
imposed the profit out of thirty program it was called of the whole wall street collapse
we don't need the federal government of that put up public austerity program on top of
the private life
that'd be organization mobile and others that if they really sticking out
four beneath the american people be put back to work and that that on that place with the
popeil back together financials always interesting conversation
