america is watching on c-span. powered by cable continues. host: adam green is the cofounder of the progressive change campaign committee, talking about the midterms and things that resulted from that. thanks for coming in. tell us what your organization funds itself in and how it is funded? guest: we are a newly million member organization. we do half elections, half issue advocacy. we have raised about 35 million dollars in grassroots donations through the course of our history. we have a lot in the halls of power, we do grassroots lobbying to try to connect to the inside and outside. this is mostly an economic populace. sometimes, we show up for democracy fights. the last two and a half years,

our northstar has been democracy, trying to keep the train on the tracks. we are happy right now democracy has given the election results this week. host: that was the theme in this midterms. do you think that was an overriding theme, or other factors as a result of how democrats did? guest: not one issue, but a swirl of different issues. abortion was a signal for many people democracy was going off the track. and increasingly illegitimate supreme court. the literal threats to voting rights and people running for secretary of state and governor were basically threatening not to certify the election in 2024 was a threat for people. i think there is a visceral sentiment of young people, a lot of young voters who may not normally show up in a midterm, i need to step up and vote to take my country in the right direction.

this primal scream of the voters, let's put the breaks on this trump-ism. host: you talked about the money race. as far as who you supported candidate wise, how they ultimately fared in these elections. guest: secretary race work raised -- over 15,000 grassroots donations. for people whose names you may not have even heard of. folks in arizona did a clean sweep. all the election -- in swing states, lost. the only place there was a competitive swing state election was georgia where we lost to raffensperger. in the senate races, we raised about $800,000 for senate candidates. mandela barnes came about a point shy of winning in wisconsin. we showed up in a big way for don fetterman -- john fenner and

-- fetterman, rafael warnock. the theme is, keep democracy on track. we are happy the senate will be there to confirm judges, nominations. we will see what happens with the house. we feel like there will be good people fighting for democracy in d.c. host: how confident were you going into the elections before you saw the results? guest: last year, if you ask me how i was doing i would say, besides the existential dread, i am fine. i did not expect to be where we are today. a lot of people woke up to a new world world on wednesday. because of the democratic agenda, a much better world will be expected. one of the biggest consequences of that, democrats have their mojo. there are not a lot of people second-guessing the decisions we made in the first two years. we will be wrong -- were we

wrong to pass the biggest climate bill in history? the decisions made in the first two years of his presidency were validated. the signal to democrats is, go bolder, quicker, make sure the voters are feeling the effect of a democratic government. host: if you want in on this conversation, you can call in on the lines. (202) 748-8000 for democrats. (202) 748-8001 for republicans. (202) 748-8002 for independents. you can text us at (202) 748-8003. when you talk about the older approach, what does that mean for president biden? guest: elizabeth warren basically said, there were people in the entire first years of the biden presidency telling him to slow down. corporate aligned lobbyists were saying that to him. do not do the universal childcare. there is a lot of the biden agenda undone.

we come back from war now, i would put childcare and the child tax credit as two of the top things. republicans, if they take the house, would have an opportunity to show if they are serious about governing. child governing should be a bipartisan issue. helping parents in blue and red states deal with childcare should be a bipartisan issue. there is real opportunity to do things like antitrust legislation that everyone from ted cruz to elizabeth warren and bernie sanders supposedly support, taking on big tech companies getting too big, making sure consumers are being protected in the marketplace. supposedly, there are 60 votes for a klobuchar antitrust bill that would help lower prices. host: do you think the legislation in the senate has a chance with republican support? guest: absolutely. host: what gives you that confidence? guest: we were involved talking

to people in the senate before the election. in this sense, republican votes for particular reasons did not want to vote before the lection. as chuck schumer said, they are there to show up. we feel confident in that. there is more that can be done. will rational republicans, if there are any, show up to codify roe? will they codify contraception as the law of the land? there are so many places if republicans are serious and want to work in a bipartisan way, there is opportunities for them. one thing president biden has made clear, the progressives are making clear, we are not going to compromise our values. we are not going to cut social security. we are not going to reverse high prescription drug prices. host: phone lines are on the screen. if you have questions with adam green, ask him about where progressives are, where the democratic party is when it comes to going forward.

(202) 748-8000 for democrats. (202) 748-8001 for republicans. independents, (202) 748-8002. you know the name norman salomon. he was quoted in the new york times sunday saying, when it comes to president biden, " it might be counterintuitive of the absence of a red w the biden is an albatross around the neck of his party. in effect, he is promising to be a drag on the party and its prospects heading into 2024." what do you think of those sentiments? guest: i think they are premature. right now, we had a fork in the road the wednesday after the election. what direction do we go, backwards or forward? i am happy the president said we will not cut social security and edit care benefits. we will continue going down the road we have been policy wise. with the lame-duck congress and

as we enter a new congress, there is no one more powerful than the president in making clear what democrats and progressive values are and what republicans are trying to do. if they try to cut social security, there will be no more -- work sounding the alarm to the public than the presidency. we can get the 2024 residential politics down the road. for now, we need to make clear to the voters right here what republicans are trying to do and what we are trying to do, progressive priorities. host: do you think reaching out to republicans and the new congress, even if they gain power, do you think that will be on the table, those kinds of concepts? guest: it is important to underscore something that the biden white house did right in the first few months of the presidency, which was redefined bipartisanship of the people, not the d.c. politicians p joe biden was saying his american rescue plan, which brought help to millions of people, was bipartisan. publican, democratic and

independent voters voted for it. we need to have that be our northstar when it comes to bipartisanship. give the d.c. politicians to work with us. they will have to show whether they are serious. there are some things they have been on the record for, including antitrust legislation, the child tax care credit, and we will see if they show up in good faith. host: robert joins us in our line for democrats in pennsylvania. good morning. you are on with adam green. caller: believe it or not, i am a moderate democrat. i do not believe this gentleman can legitimize anything joe biden has done in his first two years. everything he has done has been the opposite of what trump did. the tuition rebate we gave our

youngsters in this country, that was just to get them back to the polls. that has been taken back by, i believe a texas federal judge. it is going to be deemed unconstitutional. we are letting the people from the south across our borders with impunity for two years. that has been bringing fentanyl across the borders. we have been killing our young people left and right with this fentanyl. all the young voters that we have activated, they are going to realize they do not have the friends they used to have anymore because the hundreds of thousands of fentanyl deaths. that is going to blow up in their faces. i do not think you would call that progressive. in order for this country to succeed, we will have to move back towards the center, towards moderate democratic views. we are going to have to move away from a little bit of the

trump views, back to moderation in the republican party. host: gotcha, robert. thanks. guest: i think the keywords you said work move back, advocating moving back to trump. i would agree. president wyden has not been moving in the direction of trump. how canceling student debt as a way to get to the polls, the way we govern people should inspire people to the polls. parents should come to the polls after we help them with health care. seniors should come to the polls after they do not get ripped off by health care companies. yes, when my parents went to college back in the day, it was $50 a credit at a public university or private university. right now, it seems like we are fighting over the crumbs as big corporations are taking advantage of consumers, student and everyone. we in the democratic party are

saying we are going to let people who graduate college by their first car, take their dream job, get married and not be shackled with hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt. seems like a good policy. i think the president canceling up to $20,000 of student debt for some people will make a positive difference in peoples lives. i hope those people continue voting. do you think the president has options if the legal challenges do not shake out in his favor there are many options. one, will be fine and court. if for some reason got -- that gets struck down, the power has been given to the president to cancel student debt. he didn't use that power. he has multiple options. the most important thing is, saying we are going to fight this in court.

i stand by this policy. people like senator warren who put this on the map. host: are you saying executive order, given the president's power? guest: executive action through the education department. what he did was executive action. often times, there is numerous ways you can do something. i think it will be maintained. there are other routes, too. we have a trump appointed judge ruling this down. we have some guy in texas who is one person. we have seen recent evidence of trump appointed judges being overwritten by -- courts. i think we will be fine. it was vindicated in the selection. young people realized this would impact a lot. i talked to somebody the week this past in the private sector and said, the young people in our young -- in our lunchroom

never talk politics. all they were talking about after the president made this announcement was there student debt. wow, government can impact my life and make it more positive. i hope we can do that for everybody on different issues. host: new work, brought, independent line. caller: hey, guys. so glad to talk to you guys. shout out to our troops protecting us in our rock -- ira q. i want to talk about the shared prosperity, which i think america's one of the things it is counting on. one of the things that has happened with this bipartisanship --there is bickering back and forth. there are unintended consequences. i think there are a lot of unintended consequences for a lot of the decisions that our congresspeople make, when they are trying to weigh the common good and the common goals. i also believe the law is the law. we should always follow what the

law is. what i do not like is when people use the law to hinder progress. at the end of the day, i understand what he is saying. he used executive action, which i feel like is just used too much. we have to fight for common goals and common good. the fact he was -- president biden for so long, he figured how to -- to get the thing. with the money being poured in from these lobbyists, that is another issue. going back to something i really feel like is important, there has to be accountability. if the american people do not feel like we have accountability , we need to be educated consumers. civics should be a show on tv, i was a podcast about it. people should know what the laws are in effect, when they taken

effect. how they are going to affect you. host: got your point, brought -- brock. guest: accountability, yes. taking on lobbyists, yes. to be clear, when the president uses exec of power, it is power he or she rightfully has. congress gave the power over student debt. in other cases, it is to regulate rings around the climate or environment. basic tax enforcement. we have to congress to have the irs to do stuff, they already have power. i do not think that is a contested space. a core point is right, we should not use the law to bog down process. -- progress. unfortunately, that is what is happening across societies right up. we have the supreme court, which is using a captured court including at least one stolen

supreme court seat, two seat -- people accused of sexual assault making decisions on women's bodies, overwriting decades of president -- precedent. that is wrong. we have a miss apportioned senate. it takes away power from a lot of people. we have a senate filibuster. when -- i was moved by the shooting in texas, when little kids were shot down in school. i thought to myself, what is the best case scenario, what is the sequence of events from which we finally do something about assault weapons in this country? it is hard to imagine because all of the systemic things against the will of the people, the supreme court, the electorate college, gerrymandering, money and politics. i agree, we need to stop using the procedures to block the will of the people. what i think that means is

moving in the direction of progress, more of a progressive election. host: we are going to show viewers a list of the current divisions of leadership in the house, starting with nancy pelosi, speaker of the house. the majority whip, the caucus chair. if the house changes, if the house doesn't change, should those people still hold their power, or is it time for change at those top levels? guest: i think objectively speaking, even taking the personalities out, having top leadership in their 80's or 70's is not the right look or m.o. for democrats. i think there is generally an appetite, i think among those leaders, for a generational change. there has been a signal they are willing to go there. things get tricky if we have a one seat majority. the question is, what do you shake up at that point? my guess is, we will see some version of generational change. we will see how much. host: as far as the top choice

in that generational change, is there an emerging figure you would like to see their? guest: not right now. there is a lot of rising stars in this congress. we are pulling hard for katie porter, pulling for a tight race in california. -- jeffries is likely to take the top spot, he is someone who i think is underrated as having progressive values when he chooses to lean into them. he is someone who will at least get -- out there and able to be a plug others can plug into in terms of being a partner on the inside. katherine clark, someone who was a big elizabeth warren supporter, would potentially be in the number two position. people like her are interesting to think about. host: a lot of news has been made about the election of the first gen zer, maxwell brock.

what do you think he brings, or might bring to the current working? guest: maxwell frost one a competitive primary. he is a rising star. when people see him speak, they realize, wow. this guy has got it. he knows his values, he is authentic, he had an interesting upbringing. he is symbolic of that generational change. he is inspiring millions of people and will continue to do that. other rising stars and taxes -- in taxes. maxwell greg, ramirez in illinois, there is a bunch of great rising stars. becca ballin, a state senate president in vermont. we have people with real gravitas who are entering

congress. i am excited to see what this class of candidates will bring to congress rate i think maxwell frost is a great example of progressive leadership. host: read is in washington state, republican line. caller: i would like to make a couple of comets. i watch washington journal every day half for about 30 years. i think guest you have on today is a prime example of a guest who pretends like they are a journalist or an activist. that guy is an activist, that is all he is. with respect to washington journal, you have a web format. i do software for living. you have a web format that shows video and sound. i -- when i click it, i can hear the sound when it is live. when it is in retrospect, if you are looking at a segment from the archives, it works fine. i do not know if you people are aware of this. if you are watching this program live on your browser, you do not get video. you only get sound. i have complained to c-span, it

goes nowhere. the point i wanted to make that i think is important for maybe everybody to consider, we need a political revise all with respect to what i would term a bottleneck in our system. i would love to see the word and concept of veto completely go away. we elect representatives, hundreds of them in the senate and house, and as far as whatever they come up with after debate, after passing bills, that should be what we get. regardless if the president, which is a bottleneck, once you sign it or not. the protocol should be, it goes into law, ok? that should apply to governors the same way as it states, as far as i'm concerned. it is a bottleneck. if the governor doesn't like it, the one person -- week do not have a monarchy. we have a representative government. one person, no matter left or right besides, i do not like that. i do not like what the congress and the state or federal level,

what they came up with rate i do not like that. my last point, the serious bottleneck is when you have the vice president, no matter a democrat or republican -- bottleneck. deciding the fate of the country by one vote. i think this last election shows just how disgusting that is. i think i speak for a lot of americans that understand that we have to have truth. if there was not that fact that the vice president breaks the boat, what would happen? host: we got a point, thank you. guest: [laughter] you talk about the role of the people, that is why i like c-span. it allows people like you to call in. happy to be here. it is interesting. first of all, i am an activist. the progressive change campaign committee, our website is advocacy. when it comes to, i believe there has been zero vetoes during the presidency.

there is a legitimate version of that people should be outraged about. the house of representatives might be called today, we will see. i believe if republicans take the house, we have joe manchin to thank for that because of the functional veto he exercised over this nation and senate moving forward. steve karnak he was there election night, saying republicans basically -- five districts. politicians choosing their own constituents. even if there were zero races won by them, they would pick up five seats. they are likely to win the house by less than five seats. which means if joe manchin had not put the kobach on a democracy protection bill, which would have allowed more district across the country, we would actually have a democratic congress going into next congress. if we have that, we would have a bigger democratic congress. he put veto on the president's

economic agenda supported by 99% of congressional democrats. for over a year. the function of that was that we delay the impact of these popular things that would tangibly help people thrive past the election. if we passed them in 2021, would have been stumped by voters by lower pscription prices, lower health care, at the time, a lower -- a tax child credit. we won despite the veto that joe manchin exercised over the democracy bill and before we could pass the inflation reduction act. that is the bigger thing people should be outraged that. my hope in this new congress, the voice of joe manchin is dramatically lower. hopefully, he represents the people of west virginia better and democrats can continue the unfinished business that the biden presidency should represent. host: a headline from the hill in 2024, republicans making joe

manchin a top target. kyrsten sinema might face the same fight. would your organization work towards removing them from office? guest: i would absolutely support it. we saw last night with a democratic governor in arizona and the night before with a democratic governor in arizona, she is wildly not representing the people of arizona as she puts the kebab on many pieces of this legislation. we would not support a primary challenge to joe manchin. what i would rather have him -- a republican, absolutely. i think joe manchin needs to do a better job of representing the people of west virginia. there was a moment that struck me during the build back better fight, where bernie sanders and the president were pushing to have medicare cover vision, dental and hearing for seniors. there are not many seniors saying i do not want my hearing or dental taken care of.

there was a specific out there, if you were to analyze all of the teeth in america, west virginians need the most help. joe manchin put the kebache on that provision. why? it would help his state. it would disproportionately help his state. it was a giant move for west virginia. i think he is listening too much to corporations, to the jamie diamonds on wall street, to republicans like lindsey graham. we need him to listen more to west virginia. if he gets reelected, it is because he has done more to go back to his roots. he has been there. he has shown up in the past. to fend and expand social security benefits. that is why it was popular with older voters in west virginia. host: from pennsylvania, michael on the democrats line.

caller: hello, how are you doing today? host: fine. you are on, go ahead. caller: i have been a cta for 35 years in western pennsylvania. i am telling you, the most incredible thing i have ever seen is that increase in that tax child credit. i read an article, up to 40% of people out of poverty. you compare that to give a tax break to the top 1%. i cannot begin to tell you what a difference it made for my clients. the second point i want to make, the best to we could put out that would beat trump or desantis by 15 million votes would be westmore and josh shapiro. josh in pennsylvania has the law enforcement, loves him. with west, he was in the military, a rhodes scholar, they are both young.

nobody would be a dead ticket, nobody. that is all i have to say. thank you. host: thank you. guest: yeah. again. this is why c-span -- it is great to listen to someone on the ground. the importance of the child tax credit. i should mention -- is another candidate who won a competitive primary in the pittsburgh, pennsylvania area. if we could have her in your neck of the woods. one thing important to mention since you are a cpa, tax cuts for the rich. that is something republicans will try to put back on the table. one thing that was great about the build back that are planned, eventually the inflation reduction plan, it was funded in large part by -- billionaires, mega-millionaire's and giant corporations to finally pay their fair share in taxes. there are people like elon musk, jeff bezos, who would routinely

pay zero dollars in income tax. part of the funding elon musk. for twitter was borrowing against his wealth as opposed to cashing in his stock and paying taxes on it. that is a gimmick billionaires do all the the time while accruing billions of dollars during the height of the covid crisis. there is more to be done. we were able to successfully tax billionaire corporations with the inflation tax, but were one been away from passing the billionaires tax, which would have said every year, if billionaires are making more money on those stocks, they have to pay on their gates. their share of the tax burden wouldn't go down, billionaires finally pay their fair share. democrats will stand for, progressives stand for, and we will see if republicans stand for. host: one of the things congress will have to deal with is the debt ceiling going forward. what you think is the best way

forward as far as everybody is concerned? guest: it is so consequential for every issue anybody cares about. right now, the debt ceiling, the amount of money the country can borrow, is set to expire around august. a lot of democrats right now are handing potential republican house a loaded gun to shoot at many programs. there is going to be an attempt in the lame-duck congress to raise the debt ceiling. would hope through the end of 2024 so republicans are not trying to take us to the brink of disaster and use that as leverage to cut important progress. in the past, they have tried to use that to threaten the collapse of the economy if we do not pay our debts. use that as leverage to cut social security benefits, medicare benefits, medicaid benefits. food stamps, so many other programs.

that is why i say, across every issue we care about, we can take that issue off the table for republicans if they have the house by raising the debt ceiling. i think that will be a top priority for many groups in the next month and a half. host: do you see interest in senators about removing the filibuster to get legislation passed? guest: it is possible to raise the debt ceiling through reconciliation. we will not need to eliminate the filibuster. the question is, will joe manchin go along? i can see it going both ways. he can say, i believe in fiscal response ability, why should we pay our debt? debts that were already accrued, the trump tax cuts, that is what we are paying off. it is not new spending. my hope is somebody who has stood up for social security in the past, he recognizes that for any program that disproportionately helps west virginia seniors back home, he is doing them a favor by taking

this ridiculous leverage off the table for republicans to have an honest debate on issues and not be forced to the economic cliff in august. we will see which way he goes. host: what do you think about the possibility of the filibuster getting removed? guest: john fetterman, he campaigned robustly on eliminating the filibuster. if we win the georgia senate runoff in december, december 6, georgians, we have joe manchin's vote being less relevant and we are one vote away from getting rid of the filibuster. on to kyrsten sinema. she is probably facing a big primary back home. we will see how much she cares about constituents versus corporate lobbyists and her republican ted cruz-like friends in d.c. i think there will be new pressure with john fetterman winning. i think there is hope for that. we will find out.

host: from taxes, -- texas, john on the republican line. caller: thanks for c-span. i am not sure where to begin. mr. green seems to think very highly of himself. i have never seen anyone lie so much in my life. republicans, first, two things. the americans believe we want transgender's, talking in front of kids, open borders, we do not. he said right now that laws should not get in the way of progress. i thought there were laws -- that was what laws were for. this is america. this is not russia, venezuela. that is what the democrats hate. democrats hate voters. if you won't say it, i will. this election cycle was stolen

by the democrats. there is no way kari lake lost to katie hobbs. there is no way the republicans didn't have a landslide with mail and votes. your ideal of a progressive agenda being what everybody else is not -- you lie like a dog. that is what i've got to say. guest: thank you. look, i think you need to do self checking here. last night, a couple house races were called for republicans. your theory that the election -- the election was not stolen in those areas of arizona. everyplace else in the america -- when democrats win their races, it is really, it is shameful. people like you are still -- not saying you are a bad person, but it is shameful you are perpetrating the big lie on the american public. that is a fundamental threat to american democracy. you have to concede when you are a loser.

we love voters. i have never been more appreciative and i think many americans have never been more appreciative of voters paying attention to their democracy and standing up these past few days to protect it. every election denier, including one literal insurrectionist who was outside of the capital on january 6 running for secretary of state wanted to count the votes who believed two plus two equals five, those people lost. thank goodness voters in arizona, nevada, michigan, elsewhere stood up to them. to be clear, i did not say laws get and the way. i said people abuse process to block the will of the people getting -- mitch mcconnell, the, -- the constitution says president obama had the right to a supreme court justice when -- died.

it made it big difference in roe v. wade. i could go on and on. democrats and progressives are standing up for the rule of law and the constitution. you said the progressive agenda is not popular. it is overwhelmingly popular. yesterday, we released data polling of voters from washington polls, concerned about inflation. we ask them, which of the solutions to inflation some of our proposing do you support or propose? one of the solutions is cutting social security benefits by 15 to one, democrats, independents, republicans said no. we care about inflation, that is not what we are advocating for. we asked, should we cut food stamps? no. absolutely not. we cracked down on corporate price gouging. people abusing inflation to jack up prices on consumers. by huge margins, yes, let's crackdown on that.

the progressive agenda speaking up for the people, challenging interests is the mainstream, is trans-partisan and it is sad to hear you say otherwise. i think we are confident in the agenda we have moving forward. host: john in pennsylvania, democrats line. go ahead. caller: thank you for taking my calls. i hear this guy, a lot of baloney flying around. the issue that changed this election was abortion. thanks to the supreme court, right before the election, biden being a brilliant politician, as much as they make -- they want to make him out of the yo-yo, he is very smart. well, we've got an issue here. women have a right to do what they want with their body. all the women hopped onto that.

that was the women's vote. then, he comes out, we are going to give $20,000 to the students in university in this country. we will ride away the students and the -- right away the parents and the students, biden is their man. money, money, money. all this baloney. host: thank you, john. guest: here is what makes me sad sometimes. when people like yourself, i am sure you are a good person, fight over the crumbs. what i do not hear you saying is, thanks to the trump tax cuts, which gave away $1.5 trillion to giant corporations that are political process was flooded with political money. people saw a return on investment in their political donations. you are not saying that. you are blaming college kids in

debt for having that relieved, but saying, that was a political decision. you are not saying it was political to give money to corporate donors gave a fraction of that back to the republican party? you've got to stop fighting over crumbs. i am sure you are somebody who appreciates driving down paved roads. i am sure you are someone who has gone to a public library, or at one point has gone to public schools. that is not a giveaway. that is part of society. we need more stuff like that. it is sad some people do not pay their fair share in taxes, primarily billionaires and billionaire corporations. if we have the ability to rectify that situation, i would hope people would be more supportive. host: where you go from here, particularly as we had done 2024? guest: a couple forks in the road. the next month and a half or so will be lamed at -- lame-duck congress. there will be over most -- a

robust effort to possibly pass antitrust legislation. there are a couple must pass bills, and an attempt to raise the debt ceiling. that is a prelude to what we can do next year. fulfill some of the unfinished business of the biden agenda. i would start with childcare and the child tax credit. we need to help parents in a crunch right now. i am enthusiastic about what people like lena con at the ftc and the consumer -- bureau have yet to do. there are these issues that people haven't heard about that impact millions of lives. did you know mcdonald's workers and burger king workers have to sign a non-complete -- noncompete clause when taking their job? if they mcdonald's worker asks for a dollar raise, and says, i will work for burger king, they can't because they signed that?

it is not radioactive, not front page news. i would imagine that would empower people to get high wages. -- taking on junk fees, if i write you a bad check, and you cashed it, you would get a fee. why? because they can. things like that that are an abuse of power on regular people that the good guys can take care of. finally, we have people in the executive branch who continue to -- and power. groups like ours will be working with numbers of congress in the lame-duck, the white house in the 2020 four cycle and the executive branch to go to bat for the american people. host: the website for the progressive chang >> tonight, former preside trump will make a campaign announceme at his maher law
