3. Pass this jobs bill, right away said 16 times

Keith just said

[aquart]

5. And if you pass it, what do you get?

Nothing. Tax cuts do not create jobs. Slave labor free work "training" will not create jobs. Bribing corporations does not create jobs. It just ups the executive bonus.

4. Rep Raul Grijalva: Tone was good

Urgency tone was very necessary
Medicare and medicaid: concern it's being put back on the table
it's about time we took it to the American people
first good step
Republicans-enough sugar in there for them
I don't think it will be tolerated if they obstruct

Yesterday friction between the white house and the caucus, didn't meet with them
Are you satisfied, no
we can be very effective allies and partners
we can rally the base and hopes the white house includes them
