damon silvers is director of policy and special counsel to rich trumpka and the afl-cio. he was named by congressional democrats to the panel that oversaw the t.a.r.p. bank bailout. and from that perspective, damon saw up close how our too big to fail financial system deregulated by the politicians who live in the pockets of the bankers, gambled with our money, brought down our economy, and then demanded that we bail them out to prevent another great depression. damon has been sounding the alarm recently about the prospect of another round of austerity, imposed by crazy conservatives willing and able to crash the world economy if they don't get their way. so to share those warnings with us and to tell us what we can do, please welcome the afl-cio's damon silvers.

furthermore, all this large membership groups like the afl- cio and the naacp, and many more, are forncrease in the minimum wage. this is a signal issue of the old democratic party. when the minimum which started in 193 and8 under president roosevelt -- in 1938 under president roosevelt. they do not even know a moral and political issue if it was put on their desk. jesse jackson, jr. has broken ranks from the lethargy on capitol hill. he asked about 20 progressives in the house to support him. this is a jolting what everyone has been waiting for. the nfl has been waiting for george miller, senior congressmember from san francisco, the white house apparently is waiting for george miller, nancy pelosi is waiting for george miller. so in a few days, george miller, after 3.5 years of doing nothing, is going to put in a bill for a three-year stay going to $9.80 by 2014. that is not a political winner. if you go from $7.25 and catch up with 1968 by taking it to $10, that is 30 million workers you can appeal to. 30 million workers. that does not count the restaurant workers, and fast- food w

. >> i want to bring in the executive vice president at the afl-cio.. here is how a lot of people are framing this, that the republicans are going to use super pac money and they'll have a big advantage. the democrats are going to use more traditional means like unions who can then put boots on the ground so it is going to be a money campaign on the airways versus a more traditional knocking on doors phone banks. if that is how it works out can you win? >> i believe, chris, let me first of all say good morning, that we can win. we are going to do everything we can. that is why the afl-cio is rolling out our most aggressive program yet in terms of voter protection and voter registration and education. we will never be able to out spend the super pacs. we will never be able to do that. but what we do have a valuable resource, our human resource. yes, we will be knocking on those doors but what we will be doing most importantly is doing massive education of our members and we will be joining with our community partners and other allies to make sure that c

[applause] rogers i worked for rich trumka at the afl-cio. he said the g20 meeting in los close in mexico trying to put across some of the points that this panel is trying to put across to you to the heads of state of the g20 and he sends his deep regrets he couldn't be with you. the afl-cio president trumka and the leadership of the movement we are all in the death debt for the campaign of america's future rebuild the dream for the vision you put out and which wanted me to make sure i said that to all of you here that he was so sorry he couldn't be with you today. now, let me talk about the past for a moment. you know, back before "time" magazine profiled molly david another issue a little while ago, 60 years ago about the american century, and in that issue, "time" magazine proclaimed that the 20th century was going to be or was the american century, and why was that? it turned out to kind of be true. the united states did prospered greatly during the 20th century. why was that true? you could say it's true because of our vast natural resou

the american federation of labor, congress of industrial organizations, the afl-cio says, quote, we believe a review of ms. svinicki's qualifications and her previous service at the nrc demonstrate that she is precisely, precisely the kind of public servant that gives all americans confidence in the safe operation of our nation's nuclear energy industry. and the international brotherhood of electrical workers stated, quote, through her dedication and leadership, commissioner svinicki has demonstrated the right kind of approach to technical and legal issues before the agency that is critical to ensure the safe operation of our nation's nuclear energy industry. this all high praise very well earned. so commissioner svinicki, i trust that you will commit to continue to serve the public interests and work collegially with your current colleagues and your perspective new colleague in the same exemplary way. and ms. macfarlane, i trust that you will work with this fine commissioner and her colleagues as well in hopes that you will earn similar respect and praise. thank you, madam chairman. >> tha

by the public support, it i mean that -- at the afl-cio we have this giant polling database, and the polling on these issues is generally over 70% positive. some cases it's over 80%. the public supports massive investment in infrastructure, rebuilding manufacturing and rethinking our trade models so that we can be competitive in the new globalized economy. the public supports a tax system where the wealthy pay their fair share and the public supports the notion that that means higher taxes for millionaires. the public supports accountability for the banks to broke our economy, and the public supports, although you'd never know it if you lived here in washington the public supports protecting and expanding social security and medicare, and by the way, that -- [ applause ] -- the american labor movement thinks that given the pension system has been destroyed and taken away from us and robbed from us and that it's been replaced by -- by essentially savings accounts that have no money in them, that we might -- that what might be in our nation's interest is not to dismantle social securit

you could be headed to the afl-cio and be better off for it.hank you for standing up for the middle class. i know i'm right. or something even bigger, mr. schultz. you're watching our show. by the way, your show is on 8:00 eastern from wisconsin, right there on the spot where the action is. and you're live at 11:00 tonight, ed. by the way, the state and county local employees union out in wisconsin, how does it look, sir? >> it looks wonderful. thanks, chris, for having me on. as you remember, we were together in the early days of this, and today is ground zero here. all over the state, it's electrifying, this turnout. folks are out canvassing all over the state. that said, man, it's just a bunch of elbow grease out there. it's about talking about us getting our values back. the middle class retaining our values, ripping it back from the republicans who took it away from us. i truly think that walker and his regime are kind of worried about what's going on here, especially as they look at the voter turnout issues. sure, they've been doing voter

. >> harris: the deputy chief of staff for the afl-cio which represents some 12 million workers saysissue is we need to pay americans enough to earn a decent living. >> we really need to look at the big picture. which is in this country, you know, should workers, whether they're in the public or the private sector, have a decent pension or have a secure retirement and that's something that people do. support at the end of the day. and we have to fund it and have to figure out how to make it viable, but i don't think that voters in this country, want to go to a place where our elderly people are living in poverty, are struggling and so on. >> and lee disputing public union workers, are quote, overpaid, doctors, lawyers and professional business, public sector earning less than those in the private sector. >> new fallout over president obama's comment over quote, the private sector is doing fine. the president clarified the statement quickly after he said it realized the economy is it not doing fine, but the challenger for the white house pouncing on his remarks, more on that and plus

the afl-cio is involved in visibility exercises too. don't kid yourself they are not spending all five days on buses. for most part the players are going to fly from state to state and when they get there buses waiting. tailgate politicking, shep. >> shepard: new and serious accusations of secret service agents behaving badly long before that hooker scandal took place. the government has just released more than 200 pages of claims that date way back to 2004. the associated press and other news organizations requested these files after secret service agents were accused of bringing hookers back to the hotel room in april. the agents were supposed to be getting ready for president obama's visit there the newly released accusations include sexual assault, picking up prostitutes and publishing pornography. documents do not reveal whether any of those claims turned out to be true. doug mckelway going through the documents. is he in d.c. tonight. doug? >> these are merely incident reports. everything from serious allegations to frivolous anon

this was afl-cio president richard trumpka today speaking to reporters about if they had done anything different. >> would we do things differently? hell, i don't know if we'd do anything different. i think the people did a oweman's job, a great job in that state mobilizing people, getting volunteers out, getting people excited. and i said, it's just the beginning. >> just the beginning. well, confidence, i think, might be a little bit low right now. how do you size all of that? >> well, with i'm a big fan of richard trumpka. i've known him for a long time and covered him for many years. but i think on that one, i would tend to disagree with him. i think there were things that should have been done differently. if you launch a recall, with you should spend some money up-front to explain why you're doing it. i think there should have been counter ads to the governor's ads, saying why the recall is a good idea and why it's necessary. i also think there should have been much more communication about collective bargaining. the governor attacked collective bargaining for the better part of
