We want this country to be strong. we want to have a strong labor market, we want to rebuild the economy from where it is, rebuild it on a stronger foundation, not the foundation of sand as president obama himself as said. we have a lot of same objectives, sometimes we disagree about how to get there. >> thea lee, afl-cio, thanks for joining us tonight. thanks for your time. >> thank you, ed. >> you bet. >> chuck rocha is former political director for the united steelworkers. me may see things i...

You know, i dont want to pick on anybody, but certainly this gentleman is not a polished presenter. he comes out of nowhere. and if it is genuine with no shenanigans this is going to go down in history as one of the most unusual stories to unfold in american politics, or am i overstating it? joan, what do you think? >> no, i dont think youre overstating it. ive spent all day trying to figure out where the guy came from. i think keith olbermann deserves hazard pay for that interview. its one of t...

Republican districts. so its -- that would be a place to start. i know thats where theyre starting to look at this. because you know, again, its not just the money putting him up. its what did they do, if they did anything, but what did they do to influence this crazy turnout in white districts as well as just an unprecedented -- you know, wow have unprecedented turnout. we had it during the obama election. even the obama/hillary clash. lots of excitement. this is where nobody knew this guy was ...

What we thought was the 5,000 barrels, ed, is now 50,000 barrels. >> they dont know. >> and so when the president says im responsible, he is responsible, but hes not -- its not his fault. with the responsibility goes the power to make decisions. without knowledge of the flow of oil and the barrels of oil, he cannot exercise his power. i would urge him not to just make trips to the coast and be with the people, but also receivership means changing the very status of bp. they cannot be trusted. we...

Get serious very quickly. >> ed, shes got scott browns consultant now. shes going to have a pickup truck full of crazy positions now. everything should be better. >> all right. lets talk about rudy giuliani. hes ripping on the president. hes talking about jumping into the race in 2012. he was talking about his response to the gulf disaster. he says "its been a terrible display of somebodys lack of executive experience, never having been in charge and not appearing to have the instincts for it." ...

myers report last night that the government has been lowballing the spill numbers and you have a disaster far worse, up to 100 times worse than bp confessed initially. the latest on the spill -- the numbers and the damage at the top of the show. rahm emanuel once famously said you never want a serious crisis to go to waste. why doesnt the president seize this moment, make this disaster his environmental 9/11 and push through an energy bill that forces this country to embrace green te...
