he was joined by congressman chris van holland head of campaign efforts for democrats in the house and democratic caucus chairman john larsen and other house democrats. this is 50 minutes. >> good morning, everybody. i am proud to be joined by my friend. we are each taking the lead in our respective bodies on this case. this morning, the supreme court announced its opinion in citizens united. while my staff and i are still reviewing the opinion, this much is clear. the roberts court have turned back the clock on our democrat by over a century. this disaster decision paved the way for a free around limited spending in our election. with the stroke of a pen, the court decided to overrule the hundred-year-old ban on corporate expenditures and override the will of millions of americans who want their voices heard in our democracy. now they can act like pair sites striking at the very root of our democracy, at a time when americans are worried about too much influence, this opens the flood gates and allows special interest money to overflow our elections and undermine or democracy. today's

we had a 5% gdp number on friday, which is good, but the more you talk about holland and well -- how well the economy is doing, and the more than that they are attached from reality. guest: the investment banks are the first ones to show record profits and talk about paying record bonuses. people are furious about a lot of things, including, especially that. they see the economy growing 5.7% last quarter and they say, but we have unemployment at 10%. it might go higher. i think it is really important for people to see the president and congress work hard and to give confidence to the american people. have got to be demonstrated that we understand the difficulties shear -- a fiscal policy that is not sustainable. the president is criticized a lot for saying, i inherited a substantial nest. but that is the truth. he inherited the biggestw3 economic mess since roosevelt and hear it in harmony with economic freefall. -- inherited an economy which would free fall. >> senator, in light of the, as you just may, explain realistically how much as of the president's control. , to maybe out of

they will know nancy pelosi and maybe even chris holland. they will know the committee chairs. because they are devotees. they are policy geeks, like myself. they like that level of detail. that is not the full audience. when you are talking to a crowd that is politically attuned and biased, they usually have chapter and verse to backup their creed. i am not just doing this as a former member, i am doing this because this is something that andy and i get into a lot. and he has always been an amateur and a bystander when it came to the political process. he gets particularly upset when i start talking about process of politics because he says that politicians behave this way. this is how coalitions are made. sometimes it is not pretty. when it comes down to getting the final votes, a lot of what you consider to be principle goes out the window. you're talking about some of these newer members of congress. money. >> that resonates. >> is that good or bad? >> i do not know how that is any different from any deal you would make between two people trying to settle a lawsuit or two c

that is as it should be and with that i would like to yield to our distinguished chair, chris van hollandhank you, thank you mr. clyburn and thank you for your passionate commitment to these issues and all of my colleagues. it was a great caucus. an opportunity to take stock and where we have been and discuss how we are quinn to move forward and accelerate job creation in the days, weeks and months ahead. clearly, if you look back one year from this month, the economy was in total freefall, 750,000 americans lost their jobs at this time last year. the stock market was in the dumps and economic growth was going downward at a rate of 6.5%. working with their new president, passing economic recovery bill and with the entrepreneurial and optimism, spirit of the optimism of the american people we have now begun to stabilize the economy and very focused on turning the corner. it would be a huge mistake that this point in time to turn back the clock to the policies that got us into this economic mess in the first place, and it would be a huge mistake to allow the status quo to prevail in the are

good morning, everybody, and i am proud to be joined by my colleague and friend, senator chris van hollandgood morning to him. we are each taking the lead in our respective bodies for this case. this morning, the supreme court announced its opinion. while my staff and i are still reviewing the opinion, this much is clear. the roberts court has turned back the clock on our democracy but over a century. this disastrous decision paves the way for a free and unlimited special interests spending in our elections. with a stroke of a pen, the court decided to overrule the 100-year-old ban on corporate expenditures and override the will of millions of americans who want their voices heard in our democracy. now, robber barons can act like parasites, striking at the very roots of our democracy. at a time when americans are worried about too much influence, this opens the floodgates and allows special interest money to overflow our elections and undermine our democracy. today's ruling, despite -- decided by the slimmest of minorities, guts our system of free and fair elections. the bottom line is thi

profiling is not effective and security experts will tell you and members of the justice department and hollandecurity department, profiling has never worked -- and homeland security departments, profiling has never worked. host: have been spoken to anybody in the administration about the specific list? guest: we have sent a letter to the acting director of tsa, the transportation security administration, and we asked them to clarify the new measures, to make sure that at the end religious profiling is not enacted and is not the policy. we are still waiting for an answer. i wrote a letter to president barack obama a few days ago asking him to take steps to assure muslim-americans are not targeted because they are muslim. i believe the president, in his speech, in a way, is assuring us but we need that assurance to be communicated through the system so that average traveler' need not be singled out because they are muslim. host: have there been specific situations put into the system that you would classify as racial profiling? guest: there have been incidents reported to us. some of them have b

here is what he said -- host: next is holland, massachusetts, dee dee on the independent line. caller: good morning, american. -- america. i'm an independent who voted for scott brown and i responded to his message pretty much of stop the madness. what i'm seeing now is really frightening me because as soon as he won, you saw the big machines starting to move into place -- the media machines, political machines. you see late night talk-show host trashing him and making fun of him, and those clips being replayed over and over. give the man a chance. i think the people of massachusetts responded to this message and as soon as his message, stop the madness, got him elected now you see people putting spin. the republican leadership trying to exploit his win, the democratic leadership reviling his win and trying to explain it away. you see all the pundits -- it letterman, olbermann, and the republican side, glenn beck, making fun of them. give him a chance, i am pleading with people. thank you so much. go, scott brown. host: "the new york times" reported that john boehner has hired

holland. >> thank you mr. chairman, thank you mr. paulson.i accept your testimony that failure to enact a financial rescue plan would have led to, as you said, economic disaster. when you and the president, president bush, came before the congress in an emergency you submitted a plan that did not include at the time a mechanism to make sure that the taxpayer would recoup any dollars that had been extended to the financial sector. the congress at that time inserted a provision requiring the president, whoever that president may be, to submit a plan to recover those funds on behalf of the taxpayer. president obama has now done that in proposing a fee. my question to you is, do you agree that given everything the taxpayer did to save the financial industry that in addition to taking measures to prevent this from happening in the future we should also make sure we put in place a reck nichl to recover the moneys that went to rauwall street and othe financial banks as part of the rescue? >> i do agree with that. the provision that was put in to the

neighborhood, to be in a real depot that vanderbilt built their, to be in the interest of the tunnel, -- >> hollandunnel. >> right there. nobody knows this place existed anymore in new york. it's forgotten out of modern memory. >> somebody taking gramercy park and ripping it down and having a tunnel exit there. >> 150 years later no one would have ever heard of gramercy park. it's amazing how fast new york was changing. and that's why they built a freight depot and that the original statue of the commodore up. which has been lost. >> i don't know. i haven't been able to track it down. maybe bill know what happened to it, but this freezer was on either side. he was very much a gated part in lower manhattan very much like gramercy park. they put up this huge freight depot and other top was a statue of vanderbilt and this huge bronze frieze on either side that depicted his career and a sailboat than steam ships and railroads and whatnot. and that part of the statue was moved to the front of the terminal. in the frieze, i don't know what happened to it. and mrs. justine because i., obviously i think it

transparency and in some cases when you're throwing breaking news it is constantly transparent the hollandrocess and self correcting process. if i did something wrong i admit it, i fix it, but the new information out there for people to see and i know that a lot of my left is contractures will jump on one post or the other the the information turns out to be wrong and sometimes information were i have relied on a trusted source i got it wrong to warmus contributed and a lot of cases is mainstream media sources developing stories. along the way in which you have to do to your leader stressed -- readers trust is two keep an open and to constantly and more information as it comes in and then integrate that too your analysis which is one i do on a daily basis. >> host: we'll in atlanta, please go ahead with your comments were michelle malkin. please go ahead. >> caller: thanks, listening to your resources for what i read, i went the other direction and wondered about america after i won after the war in vietnam to find out what had gone wrong and the path from american exceptionalism and the p

in this legislation, recognize that these islands were then occupied by foreign nations, england, holland, france, and denmark, a period that saw the native people enslaved and driven almost to extinction. remainings of these times can be found on the land protected in this bill as well. it is not only the history and culture found in the continental united states that matters, but st. croix is a part of these united states and we owe it to those who live there now and those who were there long before this nation came into being to value this history and to respect this culture. this legislation does that. this legislation deserves our support. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. all time for debate has expired. pursuant to house resolution 1038, the previous question is ordered on the bill as amended. the question on engrossment and third reading of the bill. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. third reading. the clerk: union calendar number 230, h.r. 3726, a bill to establish t

so what we have seen as john has said, prime entities and mainstream hollanders not willing to go inith their less risky products or underwriting models into the underserved neighborhoods to generate and originate mortgages but they would go in with a higher cost product in order to generate mortgages in those areas. >> we have time to take questions or comments from the audience for the panelists. are there any questions or comments? >> while we are waiting for the question i do want to say something that lisa referenced to and that is we have a forum on homeownership and mortgage lending. the truth of the matter is the crisis we are and have little to do with home ownership. most of the loans we are talking about were refinancing loans. i have seen statistics that say less than 10% of the mortgages the were made are the loans that were made result in somebody actually getting a home. it was somebody getting a bigger home or refinancing or taking money out but it's really the industry doing this last vegas style of gambling with lending as a way of making a lot of profit, not a way

. >> jim snyder from i s holland. my question is directed to kartik javaram.to extend our your arguments original? many members of school boards don't have the capacity to do this. i see many sophisticated businessmen on school board. they have the capacity to understand the comparative analysis you are doing but invariably i observed they don't do this analysis when they are on the school board. i served on a budget committee and have loads of comparative data analysis compared to other school districts and there's not much impact on the decisionmaking so the question is are you talking about something that isn't being done? or is this really an innovative type of argument? what is the nature? .. >> so sometimes they would send me information and i would take a look at the you might want to look your. sometimes they would pull out information themselves. it's okay for superintendents doing it themselves. some cases it was just another sort of an inquisitive math minded person in the district, tasked with doing that. so i think you're right that it's not often

we will complete our lineup with congressman chris and holland. will close by taking questions from reporters here and from some of those watching via the web cast. before introducing our first speaker, i want to point out we have made changes to this year's report by adding some new laws that are part of the scorecard and by putting aside a few older laws that have largely been dealt with by the states. these updates are designed to keep our core legislative agenda fresh and on the cutting edge of essential laws that deserve the most attention by our governors and state legislators. this past year's criteria is pushing states in some new directions and, yes, it means some states did not rate as high as in past years but they will have a chance to remedy that this year when they reconvene in their state capitals. our aim as legislators to convene their 2010 stations, many of them this week, a 2010 recession is to close dangerous the polls in their laws which save lives and taxpayer dollars. we also recognize the federal government and u.s. congres
