my next guest dennis kucinich says that america is ready for a second new deal and washington needs to spend more to create jobs, and congressman kucinich joins me now. congressman, you are not impressed then by what you think may be coming? is. >> we want our president to succeed, but frankly, we have to go beyond the minimalism that has characterized most of the obama administration's programs when it comes to job creation. so i am hoping that the president when he speaks to congress on thursday will talk about big plans on the scale that fdr had when he brought the new deal forward, because we have 14 million people unemployed and it is important to be mindful that just small steps aren't going to do it anymore. >> and if you were the president, how big are we talking about? how big does president obama have to come out to make a real difference here? >> well, i would hope that the president would call on the government's capacity to be able to spend money into circulation just like the fed to create money out of nothing to quantitative easing. the government has the capacity to spe

congressman dennis kucinich who publicly opposed u.s. policy on libya and an intermediary for the libyan leader's son and that report goes on but the allegation is that congress think the senate was helping qaddafi with this in your piece. well i think a copy of a report of because since his views on the conflict which were very critical of president obama for going in without congressional support into libya for acting in ways that were perceived as unconstitutional not just by the senate but by. republicans as well that doesn't constitute correct support for khadafy it can be spun that way i don't know that would exactly what happened but i haven't heard the signatures comments on it yet either so i would be very careful to jump to conclusions based on some document which was not really a it was about this in it's not by consent i want to keep this going for just one minute because then it's very his part he said that we have questions about the legitimacy of the war and the obvious this and what and what nato was doing were also you k

joined by congressman dennis kucinich on a conversation about progressives. you are part of the reform committee. as a job creation tool, has the obama administration those investments been worth it to you in this sector? guest: investments sometimes take a while to get a return. i had a much more aggressive approach to getting nasa involved with nasa being an incubator of green technology, then license itself to the public sector to create millions of new jobs. so many different energy technologies that we could take a new direction with. it will be interesting to see what happens in the hearing today. been a lot of concern. your committee is thinking about stepping in and doing its own investigation. there was an investigation in the spring. the republican chairman has said he's thinking about doing an investigation. guest: if you have a half billion dollar loan that goes south, you should look at it. then't want to prejudge testimony. i want to listen to the testimony and ask questions. but as far as a green energy approach, if we don't move toward green e

dennis kucinich declared he should resign from his position. >> how about the president saying, you knowduring his speech, you know, and warren buffet, he actually pays less tax than his secretary and he wants to pay more taxes. and when -- when the president was talking about he wants to pay more taxes, mr. immelt's company, g.e. didn't pay any federal income taxes last year. that would have been embarrassing for him. >> what's been brought up is that warren buffet pays money on capital gains taxes and his secretary pays on the income taxes so it's apples and oranges. >> we can talk about that later. >> promise? >> yes. if warren buffet wants to make more money, i think the president should let him. >> and ali, there's one other thing, i was listening to mark levine on the radio last night when i was driving around and i heard him talking about, warren buffet wants to pay more taxes while his company, berkshire hathaway over the last decade haven't paid all their federal income taxes and is in some sort of dispute with the irs and they're trying to figure out some sort of resolution. he
