you know, actually, barbara, i respect your opinion and positive thinking has its place. i agree with you when you say positive thinking isn't enough. you have to go in to action. you know, most people talk about just think about it, think about it. well, the beginning is the thought. and then following the thought is an action. joy, you talked about -- you talked about wanting a talk show. you thought about it, wanted it, did something about it which is why we're on your show right now. so i believe that thinking plus action is critical. >> it's a difference between what you're saying. a goal -- a goal is a perfectly legitimate thing to have. you have a goal. you implement the steps that will take you to the goal. i think that's different from what you're saying. >> i can be very determined even when i have no or very little hope of winning. i can still feel enormous determination. >> yes. yes. it's different from the delusional idea. lisa, what do you say to that? there's a secret, for instance, you believe in "the secret," i take it. >> i believe that in the first thin

[applause] we are here and we introduce this legislation because of one word -- security. economic security, energy security, national security. america knows that that is the battle that we face right now. the fact is that what is in this bill provides the ability for america to get back into the driver's seat and take back control of our own security and take charge of our future. we have a chance to put millions of people back to work leading the world in a new economic era. we can safeguard the air that our children breeze, the water that people drink. we can stabilize a dangerously changing climate that demand our attention because the current course threatens our safety. our health, our economy, our environment, our security are also less the same message. it is time to reinvent the way that america uses energy. [applause] that is exactly what this legislation does. the clean energy jobs
