now, john schakowsky also knows how to talk with americans about the economic devastation that conservativeolicies are imposing on working families. we asked her here today to talk about how we can take a common sense program to create jobs, protect social security and medicaid, and to create an economic future for young people, and how bewe can win a w congressional majority that will prevent conservatives from having the power to throw our country over the cliff in december. so please, give a big, big welcome to our progressive champion, jan schakowsky. [ applause ] >> thank you. thanks so much, roger, and thank you, bob, for organizing once again this fabulous event. i think i've been to everyone of the conferences, the take back america conferences. yesterday my son showed me, i haven't seen jon stewart, the hysterical bit he did about the senate hearing with jamie dimon. if you haven't seen it, you've got to google it. it is just priceless. but one of the things that he shows is jim demint talking to jamie dimon saying that, you know, i really can't chastise you for losing $2 billion,

here is the line john, i was saying to a jan schakowsky you -- this is predictable, if the states notif you are not ready now the government is going to have to do this and they are going to accuse him of wanting to do that all along. >> exactly. and did we nationalize the auto business, no? >> it is supposed to provide one-stop shopping but the court added a new wrinkle, ruling that states cannot be threatened with the loss of their entire medicaid allotment. so states that turn -- john you just said some republicans have said they are turning it down. states that turn down the money will still be stuck with treating uninsured patients in the hospitals. >> yeah. >> it's like screw you -- >> they hate obama more than they love america. >> yeah. administration officials predict states will participate even though it will take some to decide. seniors stand to receive better medicare coverage, and no copayments for preventative care, unless we have a vice president paul ryan in which case -- >> oh, god, yeah that will happen. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] >> that could happen. >> we had r

schakowsky good. >> our friend ron paul some credit. very concerned about this. >> this bring mess to the final points, the lindsey graham, john mccain takingtly political. does seem like there should be incentives for conservatives, libertarian-minded conner is vat thoifs are fearful of the state, fearful of the state authority, fearful that the government going to muck everything up, to be at the forefront of this, particularly when they take a shot at a democratic president. i wonder if we are seeing this at all. >> that also clashes with the general republican idea, america has to have this robust foreign policy, do no wrong and can't even question that. when sore tore john mccain is the only one of the national debate bringing up bradley manning's treatment, we are at this weird, bizarre -- but no i think what you are saying is exactly right. >> we will switch topics from secrecy to the world of food. michael hastings, rolling stone contributing editor, thanks for joining us. appreciate it the government's involvement on what you put on your plate and in your glass and whether that's good or bad, when we come back. ld... ...with the be
