jim clyburn. >> thank you very much, mr. whip, madam leader, distinguished chairs, despite coming up 44 votes short of 218 to prevent our nation from being devastated by default, republicans in washington continue to play political games. they have turned their my way or the highway into my way or the run way. that is what is taking place with this f.a.a. bill. the federal aviation administration has been bottled up now, this is the 10th day. we have lost about $300 million in revenue. and i'm pleased that the senate seems to be willing to put a tourniquet on some of this. but the legislation that seems to be agreed to, which is the house version, leaves out a big chunk that is small, rural airports. and the jobs, the contracting jobs, that are being held in abayance, that has already been the site of the problem. there is little that's anymore important to job creation in rural communities than these small airports. and for my republican friends, to continue to wreak havoc, havoc among the lives of those men and women, thos

clyburn. i'm pleased to join my colleagues today. as they have said, we now have a debt ceiling behind us and we cannot afford to have any more distractions. we have to do everything we can to create good, well-paying jobs in america. and it is time for this republican majority to break this 210-day streak and counting and start to put real jobs legislation on the schedule. the president just a few moments ago spoke and he talked about, whatever we're doing that we need to have a piece that is about growing our economy. and unless we can grow our economy, we are not going to be able to put people back to work, we are not going to be able to deal with our deficit and we're not going to have economic security for the future. in order to create jobs, to fix our economy we have to invest in our infrastructure and our domestic manufacturing capacity. they are the engines of economic growth for us for the future. we have to go back to being a country that builds things. rather than one that just consumes goods that are produced overseas. a

clyburn and the president of the united states and those who tried to work in a bipartisan way to accomplish something. i hear our republican colleagues have said they got 98% in the bill and i hope their votes real flect that. with that, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from wisconsin has four minutes. mr. ryan: i yield two minutes to mr. hensarling. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. mchenry: mr. speaker, the america -- mr. hensarling: mr. speaker, the american people want more jobs and less debt. the american people are telling washington you have to quit spending money you don't have and quit borrowing 42 cents on the dollar much of it from all default. and what this has done, it has brought our two parties together. i would like to reflect for a moment the fact that we have a bipartisan compromise here. that doesn't happen all that off en, but that's a good thing. first thing as my colleague just said, this is a down payment on the problem, good step in the right direction, and it is a huge cult

clyburn and the president of the united states and those who trd to work in a bipartisan way to accomplish something. i hear our republican colleagues have said they got 98% in t bill and i hope their votes real flect that. with that, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from wisconsin has four minutes. mr. ryan: i yield two minutes to mr. hensarling. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. mchenry: mr. speaker, the america -- mr. hensarling: mr. speaker, the american people want more jobs and less debt. the american people are telling washington you have to quit spending money you don't have and quit borrowing 42 cents on the dollar much of it from the chinese and send the bill to our children and grandchildren. our crisis today is not the debt ceiling, it is our debt and it is a spending-driven debt. that is why we are here today, mr. speaker. i would like toe say this bill solves -- like to say this bill solves our problem. it doesn't. it is a doll i had first step. nobody, nobody on our side of the aisl

certainly clyburn and bacerra are on the left side of the spectrum. is a guy that stands his ground. >> thank you for bringing us the news. >>> we're watching the markets. the stocks are in positive territory so far today. that's an encouraging report on jobless claims helping to push stocks higher. the dow jones looking at 257 increase, and we will keep you updated on how the markets are doing as well. >>> we don't have to tell you, times are tough and the stock market is up 400 points one day and down 600 the next, and when times are uncertain, people look for leadership. critics are qug westher congress and president obama are up to the challenge. joining us to talk about that is cnn contributor john avalon. john, first of all, if you can, weigh in for us if you will some of the new picks we heard from nancy pelosi, anybody stand out now that we have the set of 12 that have been selected for the bipartisan committee? >> i think you are seeing a clear pattern at this point. we know the full committee and each of the groups that have been appointed a

house democratic leader james clyburn. let's get straight to that. i know you support the president and you know he needs to go to these electorally important states for him. but would you prefer if he does a jobs tour that he start in columbia south carolina where unemployment among african-americans is 19%, selma, alabama where it's above 20%? >> i don't think we have to worry about where he starts. the problem is where will the impact be of job creation? will we get a jobs bill out of the congress? i understand that the president's going to be coming forward in september with a comprehensive job bill. i hope that's the case. i'm also hopeful that, as we talk about deficit reduction, and those kinds of things, that we can include job creation in those discussions as well. because the quickest way to reduce the deficit, i believe, is to get people back to work. they'll be paying taxes. they won't be drawing unemployment. and they will, in fact, be contributing to deficit reduction. so i would love to see a comprehensive jobs program in the very near

clyburn and the bipartisan talks, as they strove to have what the american people want, a balanced, bipartisan, fair agreement to lift the debt ceiling and take america forward. unfortunately that did not happen. wat did happen and it brings to mind the question, why are we here? and i would divide, as we say in legislation, i would divide that question into why are we here and why are we here today? we are here because all of us in this body care about our country , have decided that public service is a noble pursuit and that we have come here to make the future better for future generations. hat is what our founding fathers visualized for america. that every generation would take responsibility to make the future better for the next. that's why, mr. speaker, our founders, in addition to writing our founding documents, the declaration, the great deck -- declaration which embodies fairness in it and equality, then the constitution they dclared independence, they fought the greatest naval power in the wor, they won, they wrote the constitution, the bill of rights, making us the freest, greatest

and deficit so i will seek to keep those interests on the table so voices like congressman james clyburn is dictate the conversation at the gang of twelve committee to the bad rick perry in his first stump speech speech for president on saturday rick perry let it be known that he plans to target the poor in america speaking to the millions of americans who don't make enough money to pay an income taxes perry said this were dismayed at the injustices nearly half of all americans don't even pay any income tax and you know one in the liberals out there saying that we need to pay more. by we must be referring to rich people like himself he's right poor people don't pay income taxes why should they live in poverty but they still pay sales taxes payroll taxes and in some cases property taxes or even indirectly through their rent and as a percentage of their income they pay even more in taxes than you probably do so the only injustice here is all the millionaires and billionaires the guys running rick perry's campaign who aren't contributing their fair share and the very very ugly michele bachm

i'll spooe speak live with south carolina congressman james clyburn. he's charged with finding $1.5 trillion in budget savings. also, will it be another roller coaster week for stocks? hear from a trader about the move up there in wall street. and the trial of egypt's former president, hosni mubarak will now take place behind closed doors. why? we'll find out. >>> and later, how to complain to customer service and actually get results. also, san francisco's b.a.r.t. train system warning riders of another possible protest. meanwhile, hackers disrupt the website, leaving these wild messages behind. >> make no mistake about it. again, this is criminal. but the people who are doing this are very smart. they know where the vulnerabilities are. and your question, can they be stopped? well, at this point, the answer is no. ♪ it was the best day yeah! ♪ it was the best day ♪ because of you [echoing] we make a great pair. huh? progressive and the great outdoors. we make a great pair. right, totally. uh... that's what i was thinking. covering the things that mak

clyburn also at the talks. becara almost became trade representative.rt shall savvy pros, leaders, they're to the going to diverge very much from what pelosi wants or what the caucus wants but they've all indicated a willingness to cut a deal. >> warner: becera was on simpson bowles also. and yes, these are all people-- . >> warner: so he voted no. >> he voted no, you about he was there. and when it am cans down to a deal like this, when you have such a compact time frame, knowing the landscape as you go in is really important. and though these people are close to the leadership, they have all signaled that they really want to get something done here. and they're there for a purpose. >> warner: and they're ready to put both arms to the thing on the table, tax cuts and entitlements. >> exactly. >> and the senate democrats, max baucus, and the co-chair patty murray of washington state. >> again this is another signal, patty murray who has been on the talking points, fighting hard throughout this debate. >> warner: especially on medicare and social securit

clyburn, this is a very leadership-heavy decision.very similar to the list of names we ended up getting from john boehner recently. not a big surprise there. the house side will probably be more rooted into their ideological beliefs. i think if any type of agreement can occur, it will be with the senate picks we saw over the last couple days. >> we know those disagreements have begun. nancy pelosi says this committee has got to focus on economic growth and job creation and make decisions regarding investments, cuts and revenue and really, the timing in terms of stimulating growth while reducing the deficit, she says it's got to increase demand by offering recommendations to ensure that wages grow along with productivity. i want to move to iowa, where you are, and things are getting hot there. mitt romney just got heckled. check this out. >> -- rise to 44%. we're not going to do that. >> what about social security? >> hold on just a moment. hold on just a moment. hold on just a moment. >> so here's mitt romney getting heckled there. ar

interesting about those three, clyburn and recerra to the far left and chris not far behind. four stand out to me. number one, john kerry. the democratic presidential nominee in 2004. he's someone who possibly could be the next secretary of defense if president obama is re-elected. dissension on capitol hill he would be really willing to make a deal, as would all of these four. another guy on this list, chris van holland i mentioned earlier, someone who is part of the president's debt talks when they were having negotiations all summer trying to raise the debt limit. he's open to possibly giving and taking with republicans. on the gop side there's two that are very interesting. rob portman of ohio. he's someone who is bush's budget director. george w. bush, our last president, someone who's worked on these issues continuously, open to the gang of six deaf ted reduction talks that happened over the last few months. he's someone who might be wi willing to make a deal pnd and someone in charge of writing the nation's tax laws is somebody who earlier today said, everything is on

clyburn, van hole enand becerra. here's the game of 12. they call them 12 often gri men. there's one woman. i guess you can't do that. back before she joined the administration in 2007 she was a professor of economics at berkeley. she co-wrote a paper on the effect tax changes have on the economy. researcher has been quoted to make the case for raising taxes to lower the deficit and for making the case against raising taxes because of the harmful effect on economy and jobs. one study going both ways. i asked her to set the record straight. >> even though i very much support raising taxes to deal with the deficit gradually over time, now's not the time to do it. either raising taxes or cutting spending now would absolutely be very hard on the economy. that doesn't mean you can't legislate it to kick it when the economy is back to normal. that's when the economy would be much more able to deal with it. >> you can see the entire interview with christina romer here on the weekend. >>> 38 people died in last weekend's attack. 22 were u.s. navy personnel including 17 s.e.a.l.s,

you have representative clyburn south carolina talking about the 20 century civil rights act which iscare, if you didn't know sean. this is another example. i think it is disgraceful. what is interesting, no longer a conservative just in general racists now they are getting more specific, tying it to specific agendas, pieces of legislation. if anything they are trying harder. >> very strong point, progressive movement i've never associated conservatives with racism, nor would i ever. i think you are giving examples of people who are pretty extreme. frankly they get a lot of news but they don't speak for the majority of people who are progressives in this country. >> let's just give al gore a rest. maybe we can give him some kind of a gold watch. >> sean: more with -- when we come back. barack obama's was arrested here, illegal immigrant. drunk driving charges. he said he wanted one phone call, he wanted to call the white house. >> that makes sense if you had to get out of trouble. >> sean: we'll continue straight ahead.

nancy pelosi announced her pick, javie becerra of california and john clyburn and chris van hollen, isnon-starter? we are joined by jim from the policy advisers. if none of the members will consider raising taxes for any reason whatsoever, is this an exercise in futility? >> it is quite likely that if the republicans continue to insist that you can't have any increase in revenues that as part of the deficit reduction package, the joint committee will stalemate. i think that the real key there is not so much the members appointed, but the people on both sides who have been appointed there, and a number there that if a decision is made by the leadership, and in particularly the republican leadership to give up the stance they have been taking of absolutely no discussion of revenues, give that up and have a serious debate about balanced package of revenue increases and spending cuts, there are people on the committee who could actually try to make that kind of oingagreement happen, but th are no signs yet of speaker boehner or minority leader mcconnell have decided it is time to change th

you certainly have the ranking member on ways and means, you know, possibly clyburn in the biden talks so there's a list to pick, from but i think she will follow the reid model of picking people who have credibility on the left but who have the ability to reach to the right and hopefully keep the door open for a compromise. >> let me ask you a question i asked in the last block. do you think congress should come back, you know, come out of recess and come back to washington and get a handle on the economic mess that we're in? >> my instinct is yes. they have to show people they are working on this because the economic pain is not subsiding and the stock market is unsettling, but i'll put one caveat on it, that they should come back if they can work together. honestly there's so much rancor, maybe they need a weekend away, maybe not a full month but maybe some time and space. >> right. i agree with you on that. ryan mcconaughey, thanks very much. >> thanks. >>> next, why some people think bert and ernie want to plan a weekend getaway to new york. stay with us.
