going back to youngstown, the case went to court in 1977. the union lost, workers lost, and it was -- the steel mills were destroyed. but they didn't give up. they didn't just say, okay, we'll starve to death or go somewhere else. they began to organize small, worker-owned enterprises. and they've been spreading around the cleveland area, youngstown, a good bit of northern ohio into other areas. so it is taking place. but, you know, it's happening elsewhere too. in northern mexico there are quite successful worker-owned plants. it's not ease she, because -- easy, because the banks don't like to give them capital, and the government doesn't like them and won't support them. again, for class reasons. but if the sufficient popular support, these things can develop. and it's not easy, you know? it's hard work. and the people who organize usually suffer for it. but that's typical of almost everything. civil rights movement, the, you know, practically any movement that has ever gotten anywhere, the people up front usually take it in the chin, you

we got one going, and some of the folks from youngstown are here today and we congratulate them on theork they're doing. in germany, they've already got about 60 of these manufacturing innovation hubs. so we've got some catching up to do. i don't want the next big job-creating discovery, the research and technology, to be in germany or china or japan. i want it to be right here in the united states of america. i want it to be right here in north carolina. so what i said was, in my state of the union address last year, i said to congress, let's set up a network of at least 15 of these manufacturing hubs all across america. focusing on different opportunities where we can get manufacturing innovation going, create jobs, make sure the research is tied to businesses that are actually hiring. and those synergies are going to grow the economy regionally and ultimately across the whole country. and last summer, as part of our push to create middle class jobs, i said, you know, what let's not settle on 15. let's go ahead and do 45. republicans and democrats in the house and senate introduced b

so a little over a year ago, we launched america's first manufacturing institute in youngstown, ohio.nership. it includes companies and colleges. they came up with a joint plan. they were focusing on developing 3-d printing technology and training workers with the skills required to master that technology. now, that was a great start. we got one going. some of the folks from youngstown are here today and we congratulate them on the great work they're doing. but here's the problem. we created one. in germany, they've already got about 60 of these manufacturing hubs. so we've got some catching up to do. i don't want the next big job creating discovery, the research and technology, to be in germany or china or japan. i want it to be right here in the united states of america. i want it to be right here in north carolina.

. >> youngstown came up as they hub.manufacturing it is in ohio.hen manufacturing left that state left them high and dry. but like detroit which is bankrupt. >> with his emboldening of the federally mandated push towards innovation, do you think it's going to help these battered states, these battered cities that have basically seeing jobs leave and houses abandoned? >> not when it stopped down from the federal government. we saw that with some of the shortcomings from the stimulus bill shortly after president obama was alike did. you had a democratic congress and a lot of money was spent. it did not help the overall economic and employment situation over time. as far as president obama saying the u.s. is a better investment than china, i think china will have something to say about that. >> and south korea coming in with their round innovation policy and trying to eat everybody else to the top. >> i guess my view is that the u.s. cut the corporate tax rate 2%, it would do more to innovate. >> it's a nightmare to get there. the proposalsf are out,

that is to form these manufacturering hubs around the country, north carolina being one of them, youngstownohio, previously announced. this is a partnership between public and private entities and non-profits to create an electronic hub. but the president spent the bulk of his time talking about the economy, turning the corner now five years plus into his administration. here's what he had to say. >> we made progress. this is what i mean this could be a breakthrough year for america. the pieces are all there to start bringing back more of the jobs that we've lost over the past decade. >> reporter: so in many ways the president is embarking on the triumph of hope over experience. a, um, could of years he operated under the slogan we can't wait another rationale for using executive orders, unilateral actions by the administration to enact part of his agenda. but the president obviously now very serious about this, his second trip in two weeks, promise zones last week where he announced the first of five of 20 promise zones among economically depressed areas identified in the bidding process.

the local pape in youngstown, ohio called this a, quote--the american thinker block went so far as toall this a barbaric, grizzly execution for the ohio murder. but in the stories that went with those headlines and dozens more like them, there was little mention of joy stewart and what she suffered at the hands of this man. josh swaggart is a reporter for the dayton daily news and he was in the room for maguire's final moments. josh, thank you for being here, so walk us through it because what happened in that room will be the basis of this lawsuit and could potentially have an impact on the death penalty in ohio and beyond. >> thank you. i was there as a media witness, i stood on the doorway between the two witness chambers, there's one room where the victim's family sits, the other room where the inmate's family sits. they brought mr. maguire in, laid him on the table, before they gave him the fatal injection, they asked if he had any last words, he said very brief things, thanking the stewart family for the letter they sent. he said i'm going to heaven, i'll see you there when you

host: bill from youngstown, ohio is on the democrats line. i had a question, if you could elaborate on it or it i was listening to the -- it. -- theistening to the pay for the unemployment extension. when the initial figures came out, when i was reading online in terms of this budget, when it , wes to defense spending spent somewhere upwards of $1 trillion. reading -- counting benefits for retired vetera ns. when trying to find out about is, why they're having a difficult time finding this money to pay for these expenses. the base defense spending is $520 billion. this is a $1.1 trillion defense make up almost half of that . when you include war funding, $92 billion for afghanistan and operations at the cia to deal with terrorism. it is a large part of the budget. one of the things you bring up is who wins. there are some very controversial weapons programs, the most expensive joint strike fighter jet ever , the abrams tank. these are big defense programs and there are a lot of jobs associated with them. lobby have aeople lot of people in tow

jim in youngstown. him to answer a simple, direct question about where the money we have earmarks to fix our failing bridges and potholes has gone. keep up the good fight. joe said you were quite right in pointing out how much has already been collected. i agree with the former secretary, we need to pay for the roads. you suggested the money is there. where did it go? better fuel efficient cars has slowly diminished the funding. you're forgetting, fuel efficient or not, we have a lot more cars and drivers than 1993. collectively paying a lot more in taxes. bill explains it much better than i. the government doesn't collect percentages. the government collects money. the price of gas has gone up 800% in the last 20 years. inflation adjusted. much more than most commodities. this dollar increase in actual taxes, even if the same percentage has increased repairing the roads. bob says we're damned if we do, damned if we don't. i wholeheartedly agree with you. he, secretary lahood, stated more money is need

tax reform that will say no longer getting tax breaks for corporations that shut down in akron or youngstown and move to beijing. it means that trade policy that works for american workers, it means more aggressive -- means no trade -- no fast track and no trade agreement in the pacific the way they're looking to do it. and it means ways of helping unions organize because this decoupli decoupling, as productivity went up and wages were basically flat, a lot of that has to do with the decline of trade unions and the fact that people don't have somebody to represent them to help these companies make sure that some of their profits go to workers. >> congressman, when you take a look at these trade agreements, none of them have worked for american workers. and also we have seen a congress that's been very stubborn when it comes to raising the minimum wage, which is part of the equation of pulling people out of poverty. how adamant should the president be when it comes to executive orders and using his executive powers to impacting the economy? your thoughts on that? >> well, you can deal with th

but we went on our own and announced, there is one running in youngstown -- four of them were done. two were r. in place and two are in the pipeline. >> okay. >> universal prek, we don't have the big proposal, we made some progress. we're working where we can and acting on our own where we can. i think the way we have to think about this year is we have a divided government. the republican congress is not going to rubber-stamp the president's agenda. so we have to find areas where we can work together and extend unemployment benefits for 1.6 million americans. pass the farm bill, pass immigration reform, infrastructure. no one is going to get everything they want. but also the president will say to the country he's not going to wait. he will have the pen and he'll use those to move the ball forward to create opportunity. >> but there are presidents before, ronald reagan, a number of them, who have dealt with congress' of the different party and have been able to get things through. a lot of serious stuff through. why can't this president? >> well, we have made progress. we have a bu

the first had been youngstown, ohio. there's a bipartisan bill that brown and senator blunt are leading, it's one of a package of bills that could be pecked up, passed and signed into law. my challenge to the president was, it's great to speak about new york inequality. it's important to talk about raising the men mum wage and extending unemployment for those out of work but it's not creating a ladder into the middle class. these are things, concrete, good, bipartisan things you could do. it's too early to give up on congress. please speak to these, please challenge us, get taos do this. >> does that concern you, the fact that he did talk extensively about going around congress, to do -- does he need a more sustained push within congress to get things cone this year? >> i think the speech was balanced. each time he spoke about an executive action he was going to take, for example on the men mum weage, he spoke to congress asking us to reach an agreement. one specific moment on opportunity and mobility he spoke to the ear
