he's getting in the bus, gus, hitting in the road fighting back against republicans who want to keep the economy in the ditch. this is going to be something. he's trying to offset the costs of cutting that spending. you're watching "hardball," only on msnbc. that works at the molecular level to help your engine run more smoothly by helping remove deposits and cleaning up intake valves. so when you fill up at an exxon or mobil station, you can rest assured we help your engine run more smoothly while leaving behind cleaner emissions. it's how we make gasoline work harder for you. exxon and mobil. a network of possibilities. in here, the planned combination of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience to 55 million more americans, many in small towns and rural communities, giving them a new choice. we'll deliver better service, with thousands of new cell sites... for greater access to all the things you want, whenever you want them. it's the at&t network... and what's possible in here is almost impossible to say. >>> right on the heels of that fight

getting on that bus, gus, he's going to be riding around the midwest for what purpose? he's not pawlenty. he's not some politician running for the presidency. he's got the job. >> well i think we have to go to where the roads and bridges are. you don't have to drive to richmond. go rights out or in washington, d.c. and find roads in disrea disrepair. a water main break, held up traffic up and down the each seaboard. we can do this. it's not rocket science. it was done after the great depression to get people back to work. spend $1 billion, a lousy $1 billion on infrastructure and get 35,000 jobs out of that. >> why weren't re doing that? >> we need to. >> why isn't pelosi proposes a big job spill? why don't they do that? >> we have. it's not just an infrastructure thing. we will a proposal for $600 billion to the spent on building roads and pitches and it's stalled. right now the republicans are proposing, $ 200 billion. the urban says we have $2 trillion in infrastructure and they want to spend -- >> i read the papers every day and don't know this. >> you should. >> th

the first is what we call the gu. from april to june. a secondary short rainy season which takes place from october into december. the problem is the last two rainy seasons have basically been a total bust. they've had almost no rain. that's like a year that we're talking about without getting the needed rainfall. if we even just take a look back to february, they're down two to eight inches. while that might not sound like much to us in places like atlanta or miami, that's like half their annual radar. >> is there some reason they didn't get any and do they have a chance to get more soon? >> that dreaded la nina that we talk about. the same thing that is responsible for the flooding that we've had in the upper midwest as well as the drought in texas. it changes weather patterns across the globe. normally we would get this jet stream, this easterly wind that would come in here twice a year and that would bring moisture in off the indian ocean. the good news is that la nina ended in myself we're in what we call a neutral phase basically.

>> and then in terms of print journalism, of course.g@gú we are talking about a journalism but still written word. we do need to be supporting that and subsidizing. but as far is the political environment, i am not blind. >> greece of this incredible response than there were six or seven senators asking me to send money because if we could demonstrate the broad public support and organize that, then those political realities can change. so how do we mobilizes? the answer this plant increasingly they will talk to each other rare from a policy perspective, we don't do that good old fashioned organizing saying that will be part of the politics then we really don't stand a chance at all. that is the best i have found so far. >> >> just one but i want to challenge the panel to do with a question of whether the idea of giving holla but for them to be in different stages of development. the model suggested the closest thing of what we would like to see was from the 1940's and all know there have been a few generations of change in the wrong direction for a very i would like to argue is what
