|
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING. MY NAME IS LARRY MICHELLE, I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE ECONOMIC POLICY INSTITUTE.... |
| 00:05:27 |
|
GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY. THANKS, LARRY. VERY GRACIOUS INTRODUCTION. THANKS FOR SETTING THE STAGE,... |
| 00:10:24 |
|
RICH TRUMKA, PRESIDENT |
| 00:10:32 |
|
THANKS. THANKS LARRY AND THANKS EPI FOR ALL YOU'RE DOING. AND THANK EACH ONE OF YOU FOR BEING HERE... |
| 00:19:51 |
|
AM I NEXT? OKAY. |
| 00:20:03 |
|
GOOD MORNING. SO EACH WEEK I TRAVEL TO ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE CITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY AND IN THE LAST... |
| 00:27:14 |
|
THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. THANK YOU, LARRY, AT EPI AND THE COLLEAGUES ON MY PANEL HERE FOR... |
| 00:31:15 |
|
GOOD MORNING. I AM WITH THE SENATOR FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE, AND I AM VERY PLEASED TO JOIN MY COLLEAGUES... |
| 00:35:19 |
|
APPLAUSE ] |
| 00:35:25 |
|
THANK YOU ALL FOR ADDRESSING THAT ISSUE. I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT... |
| 00:37:57 |
|
SURE. FIRST OF ALL, I AM ALWAYS PLEASED WHEN FIVE GROUP SHOW UP AND WE GET THAT [ LAUGHTER ] |
| 00:38:08 |
|
BEYOND THAT, YOU HAVE TO BE CONCERNED. THE HEADLINE OF THE TIMES WAS NAACP JOB CREATION. SOMETHING... |
| 00:39:23 |
|
ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO WEIGH IN? |
| 00:39:28 |
|
I THINK THE ISSUE REALLY IS, DESPITE THE RECOVERY ACT, I THINK THAT WAS NECESSARY. WE NEEDED TO GET... |
| 00:40:20 |
|
LARRY, I THINK, LOOK, AND ALL SECTORS OF SOCIETY, THERE SEEMS TO BE AN EMERGING CONSENSUS THAT JOBS... |
| 00:41:47 |
|
DID YOU WANT TO SAY |
| 00:41:49 |
|
YEAH. LET'S REMEMBER THAT WHEN EVERYBODY THOUGHT THIS RECESSION WAS MUCH MORE SHALLOW THAN IT WAS... |
| 00:43:54 |
|
YOU KNOW, WHILE YOU INSPIRED ME TO POINT OUT THAT WHILE THOSE WHO CLAIM IT IS NOT WORKING BECAUSE... |
| 00:45:17 |
|
CAN YOU HEAR ME? |
| 00:45:19 |
|
YOU WILL BE HEARD IN A SECOND. WE HAVE TO TURN IT UP. |
| 00:45:27 |
|
YOU ARE CALLING HERE FOR ACTION, A MEDIA ACTION ON CREATION OF JOBS. PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS CALLED A... |
| 00:45:55 |
|
I DO NOT THINK THIS GROUP HAS DEVELOPED THOSE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT IS. IF I MIGHT JUST SAY. MAYBE SOMEBODY... |
| 00:47:20 |
|
I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK TO AN UNDERLYING IMPLICATION THAT YOU DID NOT RAISE BUT THAT OTHERS WHO HAVE... |
| 00:48:27 |
|
I WOULD JUST ADD THAT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO CREATE A SENSE OF URGENCY AROUND THIS. THE LONGER... |
| 00:49:07 |
|
VERY BRIEFLY. FOR THE DEFICIT HOGS DOING NOTHING WILL RESULT IN A LARGER DEFICIT. IT WILL IMPAIR... |
| 00:49:39 |
|
WHAT IS THE COMMENT ABOUT SPEED? IF WE TAKE ACTION NOW IN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS, WE CAN AVERT DISASTROUS... |
| 00:50:20 |
|
HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS. I THINK THAT IS CORRECT. IF YOU LOOK AT -- |
| 00:50:31 |
|
YOU ARE LOOKING AT $100 BILLION TO CREATE TWO MILLION. IF WE HAVE A DEFICIT OF TEN MILLION JOBS THAT... |
| 00:50:54 |
|
OKAY. YES. THAT GENTLEMAN THERE. |
| 00:51:01 |
|
I NOTICED THAT ALL OF YOU WERE VERY CAREFUL. |
| 00:51:04 |
|
CAN YOU SAY WHO YOU ARE? |
| 00:51:13 |
|
I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS. WHEN YOU GOT UP TO SPEAK YOU AVOIDED THE GREEN PLANTS. I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING... |
| 00:52:24 |
|
THANK YOU. I WILL LEAVE THAT AS IT IS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. |
| 00:52:32 |
|
AMEN. |
| 00:52:36 |
|
I THINK THEY ARE ALL GOING TO ORGANIZE THE UNEMPLOYED AND MOBILIZE PEOPLE TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF TAKING... |
| 00:52:46 |
|
MY NAME IS JOSEPH WILLIAMS. I AM WITH THE BOSS OF THE BOSTON GLOBE. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. EVERYBODY... |
| 00:54:14 |
|
SENATOR REID HAS ALREADY STATED THAT THE SENATE IS GOING TO TAKE OUT JOBS RIGHT AFTER HEALTH CARE.... |
| 00:54:46 |
|
I WILL LET PEOPLE RESPOND TO THAT. |
| 00:54:50 |
|
I FEEL EXTREMELY CONFIDENT THAT THE HOUSE IN THE NEXT MONTH, THE CHAIRMAN IN THE OVER STARS COMMITTEE,... |
| 00:55:59 |
|
ANYBODY ELSE? |
| 00:56:07 |
|
TO TALK ABOUT THE DEFICIT, THE REALITY IS THAT THERE IS A LOTS THAT 1 CAN DO THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY... |
| 00:58:36 |
|
I THINK YOUR QUESTION, PARTICULARLY ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE CRISIS ON BLACK AND LATINO HOUSEHOLDS,... |
| 01:00:19 |
|
ONE MORE FROM THAT SIDE. |
| 01:00:21 |
|
TWO FAST QUESTIONS. FIRST ONE IS NUTS AND BOLTS. WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO TO JAM THIS ONE THINGS THROUGH.... |
| 01:00:53 |
|
I WILL TALK ABOUT THE FIRST PART. THE SECOND PART, I HAVE NEVER KNOWN THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF... |
| 01:04:00 |
|
TWO POINTS. MY ORGANIZATION WORKS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS ALL AROUND THE... |
| 01:05:15 |
|
GUYS, BUT, WE REPRESENT THE STRENGTH OF COALITION POLITICS. YOU HAVE TWO OF THE LARGEST CIVIL RIGHTS... |
| 01:06:44 |
|
ANOTHER QUESTION. |
| 01:06:45 |
|
MY QUESTION IS. |
| 01:06:47 |
|
WHO MIGHT YOU BE? |
| 01:06:49 |
|
CHARLES TAYLOR, NICE TO MEET YOU. RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATES THAT GET OUT OF SCHOOL AND APPLY FOR JOBS,... |
| 01:07:18 |
|
BEN. |
| 01:07:24 |
|
GO TO GRAD [ LAUGHTER ] THE REALITY IS THAT WE PUT TOO MANY OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE -- WE LITERALLY HAD... |
| 01:08:26 |
|
YOU PUT YOUR FINGER ON WHAT I THINK IS A CRITICAL PROBLEM. I THINK IT WAS FRAMED CORRECTLY, WHICH... |
| 01:09:37 |
|
LET ME ASK A FACT ABOUT THIS. THAT IS THOUGH THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS AROUND 10 POINT TWO. THAT IS... |
| 01:11:11 |
|
LARRY, WE DID A STUDY ON WORKERS 18 TO 34 WE CALL IT THE LOST GENERATION. ROUGHLY 1 OUT OF THREE OF... |
| 01:11:49 |
|
HI. IOUOULD LIKE B BE THE BUSINESS VOICE ON THIS AS WELL. FIRST WALK, I THINK YOU DO HAVE ALLIES... |
| 01:13:41 |
|
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY? NO COMMENTS OR? |
| 01:13:45 |
|
I AM TEMPTED TO JUST SAY, MAN. I DO AGREE WITH IT. IT IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. A LOT OF SMALL BANKERS... |
| 01:15:45 |
|
I WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT GENERALLY ON THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND SMALL BUSINESS. ONE THING WE ARE... |
| 01:16:52 |
|
ANOTHER QUESTION. |
| 01:16:55 |
|
COULD YOU SHARE WITH US WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT PUBLIC OPINION ON THESE TRUCK PRICES AND WHAT YOU HAVE... |
| 01:17:10 |
|
THANKS FOR THE SOFTBALL QUESTION. IN LATE SEPTEMBER, WE SPONSORED A POLL BY HARD RESEARCH ASSOCIATES.... |
| 01:19:01 |
|
OKAY. |
| 01:19:03 |
|
TERRY GARDENER WITH SMALL BUSINESS SECURITY. WE ARE ONE OF THE BUSINESS GROUPS. I'VE BEEN A MOVE... |
| 01:19:57 |
|
|
| 01:19:59 |
|
I WILL SAY THAT IT WAS GREAT TO SEE PAUL PICK UP ON THE RECOMMENDATION AS ONE THAT HE WOULD AT LEAST... |
| 01:21:26 |
|
LET ME JUST SAY ON THE ECONOMICS OF THAT THAT IS WRONG TO THINK ABOUT ANY KIND OF PROPOSAL LIKE THAT,... |
| 01:24:13 |
|
BEN GO-AHEAD. |
| 01:24:16 |
|
YOU TALKED ABOUT DISADVANTAGED KIDS. IN THESE TIMES, I THINK IT IS UNINTENTIONALLY MISLEADING TO ... |
| 01:26:22 |
|
GOOD MORNING. I AM VALERIE WILSON. MY QUESTION, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE ISSUE OF JOB CREATION COULD... |
| 01:26:54 |
|
I THINK IT IS A FALSE CHOICE. I WOULD CHALLENGE THE PREMISE OF THOSE BLUESY A DICHOTOMY THAT HAS TO... |
| 01:27:52 |
|
RICH. |
| 01:27:54 |
|
THERE IS A REAL PATHWAY TO MAKE JOBS, AND THE JOBS IN TO GOOD JOBS. I CANNOT -- I CAN TELL YOU THAT... |
| 01:29:18 |
|
JUST TO MENTION SOME OF THE ECONOMICS OF THIS, THE FIRST HALF OF THIS YEAR SAW SOME OF THE SLOWEST... |
| 01:32:03 |
|
THE MAIN POINT I CLOSE WITH IS THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF ATTENTION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS... |
| 01:32:37 |
|
WE WILL FIGHT HARD BETWEEN THIS NOVEMBER AND NEXT AND MAKE SURE EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS UNDERSTANDS... |
| 01:33:29 |
|
I JUST CLOSE WITH SAYING THIS, THAT THE WAY THINGS ARE, ISN'T THE WAY THINGS HAVE TO BE. THAT WE HAVE... |
| 01:34:21 |
|
YES. WELL, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A WAKE-UP CALL FOR CONGRESS AND EVERYONE ELSE DESPITE THE RECOVERY... |
| 01:35:25 |
|
I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, ECONOMIC SELF-INTEREST, WHEN IT IS CORRECTLY UNDERSTOOD, IS A POWERFUL MOTIVATOR... |
| 01:36:23 |
|
LET ME FIRST THANK C-SPAN FOR COVERING THIS. THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING. THANK THE AFL-CIO FOR LIVE... |
