8:06 am
>> that's not a question of what party you're in. it's what values you hold? >> i think that's exactly right. it is about values. what is the job of government. where is it we're trying to head. you know, there was a time when everything pretty much that happened in washington was filtered through the lens of does it help build a middle class, does it help create opportunity for kids like me. i'm the daughter of a janitor who got a chance to go to college because america was investing in opportunities. i went to a college that cost $50 a semester. 1935 to 1980 gdp goes up and 90% of america, everybody participates in growth. they get 70% o all the new income. 1980 forward, it just doesn't happen. the 90% doesn't participate in that growth. all of the growth goes to the top 10%.
8:07 am
that's not right. >> you say that nobody who works full time should live in poverty. >> yeah. >> and yet they do that and yet they do. that's exactly right. you know, u i'm somebody who lived this very personally. when i was and my daddy had a heart attack and my mom had been a stay-at-home mom and my three brothers were in the military. we were a paycheck-to-paycheck family and when that paycheck disappears, you learn pretty fast what that means. i remember the day we lost our car, we were about to lose our house, and my mom pulls on her best dress, walks to a sears and gets a minimum wage job and that minimum wage job saved our house and it also saved our family. but here's the deal. back when i was a kid, a minimum wage job would support a family of three. and the reason for that was because of the laws that were written in washington. today a min
8:08 am
support a mama and a baby, won't let someone working full time rent a two-bedroom apartment anywhere in america. and the reason for that is because the minimum wage is now set in washington with an eye on the profitability of mcdonalddo, the profitability of walmart, not on what it takes for a family to survive. >> the passion that you feel in your position, the other side feels it. they say part of the was of this shooting was the heated rhetoric on both sides, that people were so angry and so -- there was so much acrimony in this country and so much hatred. to you think the dialogue we're having needs to be toned town on both sides. do you think the shooting attributed to that the other day many. >> i through we all have to take responsibility for what

8:10 am
democrats, and that's what's changed in washington. >> is it fair -- >> let me ask you. you mentioned hospitals. what's happened? you mentioned -- not a lot of people are talking about the senate health care bill right now. >> it is absolutely the right question to ask when you're talking about bipartisanship. right now the senate republican leadership has 13 men locked behind doors negotiating what they're going to do on a health care bill, won't let democrats the bill shoo the president dud say the house care bill was mean. >> that's the same bill that he threw the party for right after it passed. i mean we need to be able to see this bill, not to be able to decide a month later that it's mean after it becomes law. and yet the republicans won't let the democrats in. and yet here's the thing. this is a bill that's going to touch every american family. everybody who's got an
