right now what matters is going beyond demonizing and the immigrant movement. extremely un-american. [talking over each other] >> what is happening? i feel grateful about the debate. and coming together as we can right now and alleviate some of the pain.

and unreasonable world. and making final -- it goes that way. >> it is inevitable. [talking over each other] >> thank you so much. >> i wouldn't have hesitated. [talking over each other] >> i am waiting. >> you did the surprise of

course. [talking over each other] [inaudible conversations] >> arianna huffington. you were on the show today. tell us what you think. >> a standard fare for doing anything that is happening. you are a model for a way to be. not just a way to think or to do. the book is incredibly critical of certain aspects of the way we are running the company but also compliment you for using the energy and criticism which is very valid to get a path towards a solution as opposed to just using it to channel anger which is disruptive to the country.

>> how did that come about? >> when i wrote the book, under the title find your own calcutta people who volunteer with that, talking about that. got time to help out. that brought them together. [inaudible conversations] >> i am not here -- i am here to deal with reality. i am going to give you a little bit of reality. i start with my own reality and we will talk about yours. based on most of the polling,

myself and -- where is chris matthews? i saw him somewhere. they don't like the media. the unemployment problem is about to get worse in the media. not just us. they don't like elected politicians much. they don't care much for anybody in this backyard last i checked. our objective is to keep our jobs. starting with my own. how do we do that? i got my job by yelling at everybody. but i don't think i can keep my job by yelling at anybody from this point forward about anything. seems to be a lousy way to solve a problem. in the context of arianna being here and what her book represents and if you had a chance to look at it, she is

very gracious in that she doesn't ask everyone to read her book, just the last 30 pages. there's a reason for that. a lot of this book goes to a lot of problems in this country and the problems we have structurally and culturally. heard point is the last 30 pages speak to the solutions that need to be pursued. i will start with myself. instead of looking at those that i view as the problem, i look in the mirror and look at myself as the problem. what i mean when i say that is the way that i choose to relate to the people in my life specifically in the context of my profession and specifically in the context of how i relate to people i disagree with the most goes directly to my ability

to be beneficial. that has been an incredible process for me as i have navigated to my new role as political pain in the ass that i am. and to try to do it in the way of the new phrase we have been of building a bridges and not moat. one of the reasons is an ability to have resolved and necessity for revolution in your life and the resolution we make in our lives so we know where the lighthouse is and we understand the necessity of growing in that direction through whatever of the weather may be and at the same time have the awareness that none of us are right all

the time. most of us are not right most of the time and even when we are right, being right doesn't necessarily solve the problem. the last one is the biggest. a lot of people myself included will frequently reside on the fact that they are correct. you may well know it but you are correct. to take that pause, represented in the solution chapter that arianna has presented in the book and the solution mission she is currently leading the personal people like myself and everybody in the backyard, i joke she is like a girl on the

playground. the most critical point, my own navigation what we shared in this regard. regardless of who we are, to give up and adopt the content of us as a problem solving mechanism as opposed to a thing to do. nothing captured that more than earlier today when we had a very anna on the show with susie buffett who is warren's daughter and seth green, founder and operator of an organization called we have time to help. we will hear from him in a second. if you have the daughter of the

greatest man, obviously there's not a lot in common. i think seth can speak to this. spending time with the daughter's of the world's richest man you're spending time with somebody with a value system with the decision outside the domain because it must be done. the other point she has been emphatic in is the concept of that moat that you are protected from what is happening, we are navigated in the country. if we could help with that navigation, and seth green as

well to talk about not only your efforts here but also how many more people can be dragged onto the playground to help. without further ado, arianna huffington and says green. >> thank you so much. thank you for being here. thanks to all for coming and thank you to famously reclusive tommy haddad. it is incredible we got her out of her shell finally. thank you so much. tommy and ted getting ready in their bed room. everything was going on around -- this is part of the huffington postage occasion you can do anywhere. this is a family feeling that we have had for a long time.

thank you so much. and opening up your backyard we have our own obama backyard party. thank you to all the other wonderful hosts. john and a need and alex and sally. thank you for coming here. thank you for what you said. we have been on this journey together. we have a lot of a year what was happening. i channeled my anger into writing a third world america. how angry i am about what has happened to the country and the middle class and taking people out of work and the three million people losing their homes this year. then at some point, we reached the same conclusion which is that is not going to get us

anywhere. right now this country is in deeper than we realize. we have a moment of choice. we can channel that anger into dividing and demonizing and scapegoating and that is happening already all-around us and that will destroy us. or we can take that anger and channel it into rebuilding communities and our lives and building bridges. in the course of my research i discovered we have time to help. that will satisfy seth from portland, oregon, who lost his job as a concierge in portland and after filling out multiple complications and not getting like a victim he decided the one thing he had in the business was

science. at the place for people largely out of work of the you don't have to be out of work to come together and help people with needs. i need to move and don't have a truck and need somebody to help me. or it could be something for the night. it could be anything. the net work he put together and used the medium, part of them to help. in the process, he didn't just help, but transformed from a victim to somebody who is contributing to the world. one of the problems with unemployment is it leads to financial issues and psychological issues. at the other end, i wrote about that in my book and at the other end, we had a difficult

conversation. dinner in des moines, iowa, how she sees the backyard. reminds me of the foundation being spent in omaha. the library is closing and a teenage girl is getting pregnant. >> how does she help? >> her idea is very interesting. by giving the money to vote mall. which is very practical and not likely to be a congressional earmarked. so to susie, the idea of whether we are in life or out of work or have billions of dollars, spent time in our nation's history to going overhead to starting up,

and do our part. i want seth to say something. putting him on the show a couple weeks ago, about being upon this book for. inundated with requests to have them stop running. the bottom line is instead of focusing on debt issues, we can stop focusing on settlements. and skills we are not losing. we started, to help help others. what he started in portland. and fighting the political

bottle. and to build that infrastructure. that will fundamentally change what is happening. america can be counted to do the right thing when exhausted all other possibilities. this allows possibilities to do the right thing which is part of the right thing. [applause] >> thank you. i am not nearly as eloquent as my cohorts up here. >> but we are your cohorts. >> yes. we all. every person standing here has

something to offer to the rest of the country. everyone. whether it is knowing somebody's yard or lending a hand and moving. so many e-mails and calls from people telling their story. they need somebody to hear the pain in their lives. we all have that to offer. no matter who you are or how much time you have. we all have time to help. as we spoke earlier there's a certain question in this country. we just need to harvest and there's a time with everything. there is a surplus and yet we have millions. it is not okay. we need to change that. we can't change that.

so we harvest this time and skills. we have everything from ceos to everyone realizes they have time. and together without the government, without the states and cities and panels and committees, we can change everything with our time and our skills and that is what we want to do. [applause] >> when i get fired there will be an opening. i will have time to help and you can have my job. one of the things that was done this evening as you know was the solicitation for ideas and

things that can be done. we went through some of these ideas and just so you get a sense of this should we worthy of the intended use of these? the intention was a selection of ideas to create custom page on the huffington post and launch the adoption idea program where the idea from this particular gathering and others can be submitted subsequently will be posted on the huffington post and we will use our joint flashlight where we flash the tv show and huffington post and all the other appearances to solicit people to look at the list of ideas. maybe they don't have time to help but have time to work in the library or they don't have time to sit on the phone and listen to your point. we will ask people to adopt ideas and push more ideas in so

that we can get out of the business of feeling like we are powerless to deal with these problems and empowered to address these problems. a ask one question quickly. one thing that has struck me not just in getting to know you but so many others who made the decision to live outside their own bubble has been those who do that tend to become happier. not just those who make the decision to live outside the bubble feel better or debt load over their friends because they help and other people don't but the personal satisfaction in any given life for someone who makes that effort to brings through the inertia to build a bridge leads to a greater sense of personal satisfaction and i am curious if you found that to be the case. >> completely. anytime you do something for anyone else it is a boost to

your well-being. we have people writing us that three quarters of the way through their 15 paragraph e-mail, we think what are they going to ask for because i have lost this, lost this, lost this. at the end of the e-mail they say but you know what? they don't ask us for anything. they want to help even though they lost their house or their car or their job. they lost everything. yet they still want to help and they realize how much helping somebody else is in trouble how much that goes for you. i told you before on the show it is better than a job or winning the lottery. there are no words to describe

how it feels to step out of yourself, your trouble, your problem, and help somebody else. the thing that was interesting is susie buffet felt the same way. it has nothing to do with anything but the decision to get outside yourself. with that said do you want to do some cards here? you can raise your hand if you really like your idea. what is that? >> that it we have prizes if kerri anna really like your idea. teaching a skilled -- >> who is going to do that? even if it wasn't your idea. >> i have an hand? >> where are you? where are you?

it is godzilla. come and claim it. >> i like this idea but i worry about -- >> running a library? >> what about the internet? >> libraries are still here in the time of the internet. >> what do you do with the library? >> you get people who don't have individual -- they're gathering place. >> a source of the community volunteers to young boys who don't have dads, extremely susceptible to lives of crime. >> where is susanna? thank you. the palo awaits you.

we are going to leave it at that. >> enjoy your evening. thank you very much. >> we have one surprise and it is not the helicopter. i am sure he really wanted to be here. someone is celebrating a big birthday. let's sing happy birthday to arianna. happy birthday to you ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ happy birthday dear arianna ♪ happy birthday to you ♪
