i remember i was out there in youngstown, ohio. the brothers was out there raising holy whatever out there. all kinds of stuff. we called it the unemployment, this was where all this is going on. people want a nicely. so they said rang the police in, bring anybody in. what it. we in the black committee were asking for that. really, oh, my? you want this? so they were brought on. they brought it on, tough and strong. but after a while we said way, we didn't really mean that. we didn't really know that you're going to send our sons and daughters to prison. we did know you're going to put them in a situation where they had to plea bargain or face mandatory. we did know all the damage that was going to be done. now we know. now we know, right? now we know what the deal is. now that we know what the deal is we've got to change the deal. we have got to be advocates fighting for the changes that need to be done. brother your doctor his discussion with the patient. we need a dialogue. a dialogue, institute of the black world 21st century d

we have a model for business incubators in toledo, youngstown and shaker heights. this amendment would have allowed more communities to support that homegrown entrepreneurship. if we -- just yesterday -- instead of -- republican senators chose to bog down the e.d.a. bill with other related -- unrelated amendments. all of them were unrelated to the task at hand, and that is how do you create jobs? yesterday i met -- i was at cleveland state university where its veteran students success program goes above and beyond in serving our nation's veterans. unemployment among young americans especially acute, it disproportionately affects young veterans and that is an outrage. today the unemployment rate for returning service members between 20 and 24 is 27%, twice, almost three times the national unemployment average. that means that more than one in four veterans can't find a job to support her family or his family, easing the transition to civilian life. when our economy needs their skills, when veterans can get the job done, too often veterans are turned away. cleveland

lately illegal and justice robert jackson said so in youngstown sheet and tube the sawyer well i hear inspiration from your parts and there is a point you know if we can have two good questions you know the war powers act wouldn't have been necessary if people will follow we were proved so congress recognized that the power to declare war in this day and age is different for world war and world war two and so therefore they came up with a remedy and i think it's the court i would like to see the court decide whether in fact the war powers act is constitutional they have done a good afraid to touch that particular very interesting thing is that the obama administration in this report and they released they actually said that they do think the war powers act is every president is. a lie. you know they're not true larry that they are as good as it is that it should not. put is what does that make it ok just because everyone else has got it well i think this is what you know our system the way you think. that you should those are enough ambiguity to buy paper called me on the no ambiguity

i remember i was out there in youngstown ohio. we had the unemployment corner from where my father lives. the brother was out there raising holy whatever else out there. all kind of stuff was coming on to understand what it was. we called it the unemployment corner is where all this was going on. and so people wanted a night of sleep and so they said bring the police come bring the national guard, bring anybody. what ever. we in the black community were asking for that, too. so they said really? okay, you really want this? so they really brought it on, and they brought it on the tough and strong. but after awhile, we said we didn't really mean that. we didn't really know that you were going to send our sons and daughters to present in a way the we can't even visit them. we didn't know you were going to put them in a situation the had a plea bargain or face a mandatory -- we didn't know what the damage was going to be done. so now we know, now we know, right? now we know what the dealers. and now we know the deal is, we've got to c

and representing a district in northeast ohio and cities like akron and youngstown and in a region that includes cleveland and canton and not too far from pittsburgh, we have had a long, proud history in our region, of a strong middle class that in many ways that had union representation, to bring some balance to an economic system quite frankly right now that is run by major global multinational interests that will do whatever is necessary to drive down wages for average workers. and i love this economic theory that we hear many times from our friends on the other side that if the minimum wage just wasn't so high, if workers just weren't making as much money that maybe the economy would start humming. let's reduce taxes on the wealthiest people in the united states when they've had a boom for 20 years of an increase in income, but if we reduce wages for middle-class people that somehow this economy will just turn right around. and let me remind my friends on the other side, we are currently living under the president bush tax system. if this tax system of cutting taxes for the wealthie

his kind and generous introduction, for our attention across the years when he was a youngster in youngstown ohio the feeling is to try to determine if all been blessed and a continuous service of dr. daniels and he is all of that and more and one of the most consistent was fighting an organized and ohio the right to document for the crusade in the ages. [applause] put your hands together. >> there was an idea that dan conyers could not win. he was running just to kind of make a statement but did not have the power structure dr. king invested for congress. he won by 36 votes. every vote counts. he's the only man dr. king endorsed. he did a call from a hampshire because there was so much black resistance to a black man and challenge them not to come, they did a call. he campaigned actively for john conyers and both of them one and so did the catcher and john conyers had that legacy. all the guests today who spent so much time in the shadows it seems making this case for 40 years, the only case we think sincerely so much as the rainbow/push coalition starts tomorrow the 18 through 22nd in chic

brown: over the last couple of weeks i've traveled to senior centers from toledo to youngstown to columbus to talk with seniors and health professionals about the threat facing their medicare benefits. we owe it, first of all, i'll start, mr. president, with we owe it to our children, we owe it to our grandchildren, we owe it to succeeding generations to reduce our deficit. we know a decade ago, almost a exactly a decade ago we had the largest budget surplus in the history of our country. we know during the next eight years as congress and president bush cut taxes mostly on the kwraoelgt in 2001 and -- wealthy in 2001 and 2003, began two wars in iraq and afghanistan and didn't pay for them, did a prescription drug benefit, supposed benefit that was in many ways a bailout for drug and insurance companies and didn't pay for it and deregulated wall street during those eight years we had the largest budget deficit in american history. from the largest budget surplus in american history to the largest budget deficit in american history. what we see in the republican budget now as we talk about

if a company shuts down in youngstown and goes to shanghai, they can deduct their moving expenses againstderstand what you're saying. but republicans will say and christine will be speaking to your colleague jeff sessions in a minute that we haven't made it a hospitable business environment either which is why they want to cut corporate taxes. we know some cuts have to happen. what programs would you be willing to cut to try to get a handle on this? >> i think you've got to put defense on the table. republicans are asking for increases in defense while cutting head start and cutting pell grants. it won't close the tax loopholes for the oil industry. we can start with those. do generic drugs saving billions in health care expenses. we can do negotiation of drugs the way the veterans administration does it now. that will save tens of millions over the next ten years. we can do a lot of things like that. but the republican focus, they take defense off the table. they want to continue to do more tax cuts for the wealthy. today is the ten-year anniversary of the bush tax cut for the wealthy th

youngstown, ohio. daniel is a democrat. what do you think about secretary gate's stain most countries lie to each other? caller: teams like a poker game to me. really a high stakes, high roller. we never see that kind of money. these people know what is in their hands. then we get the chest pains on the side -- other countries -- we are all in this. it is a winner take all. who allies up with whoever. in the end, that is where the allies, in. -- the lies come in. all we have in america is this layman's perspective. i am glad for c-span. host: mechanicsville, virginia. annn on the republican line. caller: i thought i will call in and let you know not only do i support mr. bill gates, all countries to lie to each other. -- do lie to each other. been charged with being an enemy, and in texas. kind of amazing what they will do -- they will lie about you, too. host: ann, thank you. tony tweets in -- the front page of "the wall street journal" this morning. more silence raids over immigration -- silent raids over immigration. spr

keep my -- my grandfather who taught me to play in youngstown, ohio, would be proud of me or not.. i thought for a minute you might get a gutter ball. >> your turn. >> i'm not quite a golfer. bowling is more my game. >> bowling? we can bowl it, if you want. >> did you say my left a little bit behind? >> what mike did. >> power shot! >> nice! >> try it again. >> christine, go for it. >> i'll go. >> i don't see a lot of conversation getting done here! >> i know. >> we're not solving any crisis. >> woe, christine! >> i did it just like you did! >> as we can tell here, there is one golf expert. >> one guy impressed us with golf here. >> that's the thing. after you putt, then you talk. you say nice shot. >> i just did a little windmill there and that is the only problem. >> much easier. >> think about a window. >> that's bad. >> there you go. >> boehner is a good golfer. the president is more of a new comer. four house out to talk about deficit. >> apparently boehner is a better golfer than the president so there is some competitive angle. >> oh! >> i still didn't make it! >> joe biden

we're seeing that in places like shaker heights, ohio, and youngstown, athens, ohio, is the home of the national association of incubators, and they know what that means. i think, mr. president, as i listened when i was in the -- when i was presiding before the senator from alaska was presiding and i was in the chair, listened to some of the debate and i was a bit amazed by it. let's remember a little bit of history in this country, that when i hear my -- when i hear the talking points apparently distributed to all 47 of the republican senators all coming to the floor and blaming government regulation for every problem known to humankind, forgetting government regulation is seat belts, air bags, safe drinking water, prohibition on child labor, food and drug administration so that our food is -- our food is pure and our pharmaceuticals are safe. but they just lump it all together and say get rid of all this government regulation. i think the history they need to think about is the last time they preached and preached and preached on the senate and house floor about deregulation, they wer
