mica said to the senate. now senator reid, because he cares about those 90,000 jobs, as difficult as it may be, it's our understanding, is going ta say, we are not going to leave washington with those folks out on the street as our republican colleagues, led by mr. mica and mr. boehner would do. >> congresswoman giffords came to the floor and voted for the bill. it was an incredibly emotional moment for a lot of members. can you tell us when you heard about this, what the moment was like for you, actually for all you guys. >> it was a great moment for our country. we had a person who is so highly respected, i think the most respected person in america, certainly elected official in america whose name is synonymous with inspiration, with respect, with courage work patriotism and she really wanted to come, i'm not going to go into the details of when we knew what and all the rest. i was not one who would have encouraged her to come we didn't think it was going to hinge on one vote but she felt so strongly about

significant program like the essential air service program six weeks ago to the chairman, chairman mica, that reforms in a way that saves $71 million each year for the four years of the bill in the essential air service program. six weeks ago, the house passed a clean short-term extension. the 20th. like every other extension has gone on around here forever. passed it clean, no policy, nothing in it. just extend it so we have more chances to talk. but then they promptly left on a week tour of european and middle eastern airports, which made it a little more difficult to talk. since they returned, i've been told that unless and until the senate accepts house language on their proposed changes to the national mediation board, they would negotiate no further. and that message was reaffirmed in the strongest terms this afternoon on a midafternoon basis. you know, this all started with delta airlines. delta airlines is out of atlanta, georgia, and they've had four -- they don't like -- they don't have any unions. that's their business, not mine. and they've had four elections. unions have tr

. >> are joe and mica happy. they're close and good friends and that made it even more intense because you don't want to let friend down. >> charlie: you were intense driven ambitious 24/7 guy. >> absolutely. >> charlie: almost like the meef broadcast news producing in a taxi. >> he produced birthday parties and everything in your life. >> charlie: you back seat drive you do everything. >> absolutely. >> charlie: so what happened. >> that morning we were in washington doing the show there and it's interesting. joe and i had a very intense morning as we sometimes do. and we were having a big fight about camera angles and he wanted a camera in a certain place. >> charlie: joe thinks he looks better at a certain angle. >> it's not about how he looks it's about how the show divided the show. we were going back and forth. i didn't disagree, i wasment able to understand exactly what he was trying to do. anyway at the end of the morning, we get into do you know what i let's agree to disagree. he's like fine we will talk

mica had suggested? >> on the labor issue? >> yeah. >> there are a couple of things that could be done in the labor issue. what i heard as i carried the amendment on the national mediation board from some of my republican colleagues, i only got 16 republican votes on the amendment, and a number of them said, well, you know, if the dessertfication rules were changed to mirror the certification rules and that is 50-plus one, he can go go for that. and i have to tell you, i ran the traps with my friends in labor as this thing was being discussed, they don't seem to be jumping up and down at that as a solution. but that's a compromise is a compromise. that maybe one path forward be . again, i don't know. >> did you call [inaudible] >> no. likewise, the secretary did not call me and indicated that he would go -- and he continues to go on television. i will tell you, throughout this entire process last week, i called him more then i called my wife. we talk on a regular basis about where it was and what we were doing. he was very hel

transportation program at the level they cut it in the house -- a third, and that's exactly what chairman mica's bill does -- we know because c.b.o. has told us we lose 620,000 jobs, construction jobs. and then they play with the f.a.a., and they object to a clean reauthorization and projects are shut down, and workers are furloughed, and small businesses don't know if they can hang on. okay? i thought this election in 2010 was about jobs. i tell you, i was up in 2010. i know it was about jobs. and i committed to the people i'd go back here and fight for jobs, private-sector jobs, public-sector jobs, jobs, jobs. and everything the house has done since the republicans took over is to stop our progress, screeching halt. you can hear the brakes go on to this economy. it isn't just one thing now. it's -- five things i've told you. this isn't rhetoric. they've stopped the f.a.a. partial shutdown, they stopped the e.d.a. authorization, they stopped the patent bill, they stopped the small innovation bill, they've cut transportation in their budget there by a third. and that's just the tip of the iceber

the coincidence is that i live here in norman beach and john mica who earlier the democrat congress mentioned that he stopped funding. he supported a bill to stop funding for the f.h.a., over 90,000 jobs were lost, construction lost and 4,000 airline workers haven't been paid for 10 days. this congressman, this republican congressman refused federal money for a speed rail in florida. the federal government, the department of transportation was going to give him i think $3 brl billion. he refused it so he could have a little train, he has a little train in the district where he lives, it will cost us millions in florida. they hate obama so much. they can't stand that he's anything that's worthwhile doing. it's so infuriating. >> next to gilbert in wisconsin. caller: yes. i was just wondering something. some of these i feel -- the way i feel about this whole thing going on, some of these people shouldn't have to live like the poor and the social security people. then they probably would think twice before they started knocking some of this down and putting us back on where we have to sit and wa

even chairman mica supports it as a billion dollars. this is huge. it leverage as, it leverage as billion dollars, $30 billion. amazing, a billion doll laws of federal funds with other funds matching it. this is all terrific. the one caution i want to throw out, i want to say that senators rockefeller and hutchison, i want to throw out one caution in terms of the highway trust fund. find ways to leverage our dollars we have to do it and we are so far behind. if i have my full statement put into the record it dick indicates how -- dictates how far behind we are. the states count on it and to walk away when it is short is shortsighted. that's with what chairman mica unfortunately did. he is not thrilled about doing it. but he is doing it. it is a 36% cult in our basic program. that is a loss of 630,000 jobs, is that right? 630,000 jobs. what we're trying to do in the committee and we have bipartisan support on a bipartisan bill which actually freezes the current spending and says we need to find $6 billion a year for two years to keep the to plus infra

mica added on a few other airports. one of them is in nevada. again, he sort of did it on his own, without the typical, chordal back-and-forth that happens in congress. and it just made people mad. host: let us show the viewers what president obama had to say on this yesterday. >> there is another stalemate in congress right now involving our aviation industry, which has stalled the airport construction projects around the country. and put the jobs of tens of thousands of construction workers and others at risk because of politics it is another washington-inflicted wound on america, and congress needs to break that impasse now. hopefully, before the senate adjourns, so the people can get back to work. so these are some of the things that we could be doing right now. there is no reason for congress not to send me those bills so that i can sign into law right away as soon as they get back from recess. ret, democratic caller. caller: good morning. i wonder if you can pull up the numbers on this issue. senator rockefeller mention the biggest thing h

for the worst of reasons and in this case it's because a house bill passed by representative john mica a republican chairman of the committee that oversees the f.a.a. contains sixteen point five million dollars in cuts in air service subsidies to thirteen rural communities and is being held up by senator rockefeller democrat chairman of the senate committee that oversees the f.a.a. why when he from those f.a.a. programs go to people in a state and he probably gets donations from people who get government contracts from them another consequence of the effie's operator thirty expires their inability to collect taxes from airlines in the us they have missed out on about two hundred million dollars normally passengers pay for this on average about thirty dollars on a three hundred dollars ticket although for a few hours worth of sales on july twenty third of the airlines had to refund that difference when the f.a.a. was in there to collect it they venn adjusted their fares to all of the amounts so you wouldn't notice not bad thinking in case the government somehow demands they pay the taxe

include as i said the innovative financing programs like the transportation loan program both john mican the house and senator boxer in the senate have agreed to expand that program to a billion dollars. there's talk of an infrastructure bank that could be funded with -- out of country profits that they could bring back on shore. there are things that we can do to put people back to work, but we have to be committed to doing that. they should come back from vacation to get on with the business of putting people back to work. >> mayor thanks so much for joining us from l.a. >>> and rick perry on the republican side trying to steal the thund frer the announced republican candidates competing in iowa this week for the ames straw poll. perry's campaign has leaked word that he's getting in. he'll make that clear in two appearances on saturday. first in south carolina then in new hampshire. he's going to be in iowa on sunday. clearly timed to draw attention away from the iowa straw poll saturday night. now there's reports that he's going to also speak at a fundraiser sunday in iowa. paul burk

you have two people, congressman john mica and jay rockefeller holding up the lives of nearly 75,000 >> i must be perky. it's a morning show. i'm not doing it. it is bad. sorry. a judge in egypt, mubarak killed hundreds of his people. egyptians were captured. mubarak was wheeled into court and placed inside a metal cage with his two sons. he was ordered held in a military hospital on the outskirts of cairo. there may be truth to the reports that he has cancer. today, the former interior minister and top officials have their day in court. all seven men face the death penalty if they are found to be guilty of the deaths of protesters. >> the biggest policy push of mayor bloomburg. he stands to spend $30 million for young black and latino men cut off from an educational life. he will personally contribute $30 million of his own money to the effort. they developed the own concept. the plan, expected to be announced would boost it. mayor bloomburg will be on "morning joe" on monday as our guest. that's good news. >> yeah. it's a staggering story. >> the disparity is unbelievable. the drop

i, too, want to acknowledge chair mica for his support. it was a great thing to see senator boxer senator inhofe, congress member mica, tom donahue, richard trumka, all supporting the idea that we need to invest in infrastructure and the jobs that come with a. according to the l.a. county economic develop corp., your committee's proposal to increase budget authority to $1 billion has the power to create just with that alone of 500,000 jobs. why? there is a 30-one of leverage with that money. at a time of high deficits and debt, this is the right time to make those kinds of investments. i hope that the senate and house will also look at but some point at a transportation bond program that would help us expand that effort as well. there are now 113 at bipartisan mayors who have gotten behind this effort. i want to thank all of you for your work. i look forward to working with you to pass this. i hope that this support, on a bipartisan basis, will bleed through on the many other issues facing the nation today. america's cities deserve no less

the point is that isn't there a point because john mica has said time and time again publicly we did that. to try to force them to deal with the bill. and if i can be critical we've been caught up in the debt ceiling crisis. the faa and the tens of thousands of parks that make up the faa is extremely complicated we've gone from 210 disagreement in staff negotiations down to 12 come all of which can be settled. but it has nothing to do with morgantown. actually, we have a better air service which costs less money and a better way of doing it, but isn't about the central air service because if i agree to that, then they would say okay well, we got that one, and then they would come back until you do the national mediation for it. you have to understand that speaker bonner said it didn't message to me that he would only consider discussing were doing the queen extension if i would agree previous to the discussion on the certification and judicial review which is all about her nmb. what i am saying gently and kindly and loving to you is this is a very complicated issue when we come out o

. >> reporter: i caught up with the republican house transportation secretary, john mica, on the phones he was leaving town. how can you leave town without this issue being resolved? >> last time i checked, i didn't have a vote in the u.s. senate. >> reporter: what's the holdup? congress is considering cutting a program that subsidizes flights to small, rural airports. >> it's the issue of hostage-taking. it's as if someone puts a gun to your head and says give me your money. and you say, why won't you give them their money? >> reporter: the republican cut would save $ $ million a year. but thanks to the standoff, the government is losing nearly $30 million a day because it is no longer collecting fees c crged each and every airline ticket. if congress doesn't fix this until they get back from vacation in september, the faa will be out $1.3 billion. only ones benefiting here are the airlines. most of them are simply pocketing the money normally collected by the faa. now, three smaller airlines have decided not to keep the extra cash. one of thosesealaska airlines, passing the savings o

mica added on a few other airports. one of them is in nevada. again, he sort of did it on his own, without the typical, chordal back-and-forth that happens in congress. >> is transportation secretary ray lahood is asking for people to come back from vacation to deal with the faa. this is 20 minutes. >> array will talk about an unfortunate situation where, because of a refusal of congress to compromise, and do something it has done without any problem 20 times in the past five years, seven years, there are 70,000 americans out of work at a time when we should be creating jobs and growing economy. decisions by congress are trying people off. without i give you the secretary of transportation. >> i think all of you in this room know the last thing the administration wants is a republican to be their spokesman. i am not auditioning for j's job. members of congress give a lot of great speeches. we have heard great speeches. about creating jobs. they talk the talk but they have not walked the walk. their speeches ring hollow. to 4000 employees who are

mica regulation around television advertising. look at the creativity in advertising industry for television. a life local broadcast industry outside of bbc and yes it doesn't get championed by policymakers. in fact, it's the opposite. take the investigations of the ad trading. in this tough climate with even more competition for the marketing dollar, it seems the right time to make things easier for ad funded broadcasters by removing market distorting constraints like to see our rules you have an itv. you can't trade the stuff around. a similar principle is the use of data, both in advertising and content distribution. unique data protection rules that reflect realities of the digital age. a worse you have to be careful about privacy. you have to be respectful of user concerns. it is important not to overreact and prevent any kind of sharing at all to those who wish to have a personalized service. i want -- i want to see this. in many cases, your rules don't even allow it. that will stifle innovation. europe of course these very

that is what chairman mica did. it is a 36% cut in our basic programs. >> is that right? >> 630,000 jobs. we had bipartisan support on a bipartisan bill. it freezes the current spending and says we need to find $6 billion per year for two years, plus -- to get this country working again. how do whether we support it or not, we are spending $12 billion a month in iraq and afghanistan. we are asking for $12 billion over two years. it is a small amount. i do not support a gas tax either. but their -- but there are other ways of doing this. >> thank you. i want to incorporate some of what senator boxer said and respond to senator hutchison. i want to thank you again for having this hearing, for focusing on infrastructure and also for your personal efforts with senator lautenberg to introduce a transportation- oriented infrastructure measure. it is important. we need to find a way to work together. bus important, we need to find a way to get this done. senator hutchinson worked with us diligently to find a proposal so that we could build bipartisan support that we now have. we

for all the faa workers -- >> there is another lesson here -- this is essentially a fight between micaand somebody on the finance committee -- rockefeller, yes, thank you. they could not reach an agreement, and as congress often does -- it is 100-some thousand who will lose their jobs, construction workers working on airports stuff. who cares about that? it turned out that with a recession, a lot of people did care, and there was a lot of pressure, letters and stuff on congress, and they reversed themselves when they were out of session, and reached an agreement because of public pressure. that is what we don't have in this situation, the public saying to a certain thing, except "don't cut my benefit." >> fair enough. it will not tamper parties -- temper parties taking things hostage, but it might temper them jumping off a bridge. >> scholars never agree on stuff. we have nice political diversity, and you may be of recovering politician, but you still have as political -- a nice political instincts. this is like having a huge bazooka. our politicians just going to leave it lying on the

transportation secretary ray lahood said he is on the vote several times with harry reid and john mica, the chairman of the house transportation committee, but neither the senate democrat majority or house republican majority have suggested a willingness. that you can see here in the noon news conference coming up on c-span with steve latourette at 1:30 eastern. on c-span2 in just a couple of minutes it will get underway a conference on retirement, and you're going to hear from treasury department's official involved in helping to implement the 2010 health care law and promoting retirement savings. this is an event being hosted in washington by the boston college center for retirement research and should get underway shortly. taking you back live to the national press club, even with boston college on research expected to get underway shortly. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] mark iwry is the assistant treasury for the health policy and he will be speaking here of the national press club in washington at an event hosted by the boston college

has mobilized up to $30 in transportation investments and i'm pleased to say that although chairman mica'sbill is quite different from this bill, and it totally reflects a huge cut, he does step up to the plate on tifia and i'm very grateful to him for that. i joined join him in los angeles where he heard about tifia. he step up with us and he has a -- for tifia and i'm very pleased about that. let me say again, we have many differences on this committee when it comes to the environment. that is no secret and we are very open about it. sometimes we have a sense of humor about it although sometimes neither side is laughing much, but on this, we really do believe this is a basic function of the national government to address our infrastructure needs, because if you can't move people and you can't move goods, you are just not going to grow. we are not going to have the jobs. we are not going to be the great power that we are and we want to continue to be. i would say in closing that the coalition i mentioned at the beginning, i think was really represented in a mag with us his leg earlier in
