MY GUEST TONIGHT IS THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

MADAM SPEAKER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

>> I WOULD SAY MY PLEASURE,ER BUT NOT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

YOU'RE AT THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

THAT'S WHERE YOUR CAMERAS ARE, BUT I AM AT THE CAPITOL OF THE

I KNOW YOU'RE THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, BUT SHOULDN'T YOU BE

>> WELL, WE ARE WORKING CONSTANTLY TO PREPARE FOR OUR

NEXT BILL BUT TO MAKE SURE THE LEGISLATION PASSED BY THE

PRESIDENT ON FRIDAY IS FULLY IMPLEMENTED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF

>> Stephen: SPEAKER, YOU REPRESENT THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY

>> WELL, THANKS TO OUR MAYOR, HE'S DEMONSTRATED TREMENDOUS

LEADERSHIP AND OUR GREAT GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM AND

ELECTED OFFICIALS THROUGHOUT OUR STATE, WE ARE, AGAIN, TRYING TO

BUT EVERYBODY HAS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY, WHICH IS REALLY

BUT THEY HAVE TREMENDOUS NEEDS, AND THAT'S WHY WE WANT THE

PRESIDENT TO IMPLEMENT THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT SO WE CAN

MEET THE NEEDS TO HAVE THE WORKERS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES

AND THE PATIENTS TO HAVE THE VENTILATORS AND WHATEVER ELSE

SO THEY, ARE SHALL WE SAY, CRYING OUT FOR WHAT IS NECESSARY

>> Stephen: WELL, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE $2 TRILLION

FEDERAL AID THAT CONGRESS PASSED LAST WEEK.

WE HAD HEARD THAT THERE WAS SOME CONCERN THAT THERE WEREN'T

SUFFICIENT STRINGS ATTACHED TO THE CORPORATE BAILOUT SIDE OF

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS MONEY IS GOING TO BE

>> WELL, WE DO HAVE IN THE LEGISLATION PROVISIONS, BECAUSE

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT LARGE SUMS OF

MONEY GOING OUT WITHOUT CONDITIONS PLACED ON THEM, THAT

BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST, THEY WANT PEOPLE TO GET THEIR

EQUIPMENT, THEY WANT THEMSELVES TO GET THEIR CHECKS, BUT THEN

THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MONEY THAT GOES OUT IS NOT

WITHOUT CONDITIONS, AND WE PLACED VERY STRINGENT CONDITIONS

TO INDUSTRIES THAT WERE RECEIVING THE MONEY, THAT THEY

PUT WORKERS FIRST, THAT THEY, FOR EXAMPLE IN THE AIRLINE

INDUSTRY, THAT THE WORKERS WOULD REMAIN ON THE PAYROLL, AND THAT

WAS A CONDITION FOR GETTING CERTAIN GRANTS OF MONEY.

OTHER LOANS THAT THEY GOT HAD OTHER CONDITIONS ABOUT NO

BUYOUTS, NOTIVE DEPENDS, NO C.E.O. PAY, EXORBITANT, THOSE

THAT BURNS PEOPLE OUT, THEY GET VERY ANGRY AND THEY SAW A GOOD

SO WE HAVE PROVISIONS IN THE DEAL TO DO THAT.

IN THE SIGNING CEREMONY, THE PRESIDENT TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF

TO SAY HE WASN'T GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR OBEY ANY OF THAT,

BUT, AGAIN, TRANSPARENT -- >> Stephen: I'M AFRAID WITH

ALL THE NEWS GOING OUT THERE I DID NOT HEAR THAT PART OF IT,

THAT THE PRESIDENT SAID HE'S ACTUALLY NOT GOING TO ABIDE BY

THE RULES IN THE BAILOUT THAT HOLDS THE COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE?

>> NOT ONLY DID HE SAY IT, HE ISSUED A SIGNING STATEMENT THAT

MADE THOSE DECLARATIONS, THAT HE WOULD BE THE OVERSIGHT OF ALL OF

THIS, AND THAT -- IT WAS A VERY SAD AND FRIGHTENING THOUGHT THAT

THE PRESIDENT WOULD BE THE OVERSIGHT FOR THAT, BUT THAT'S

>> Stephen: PEOPLE HAVE CALLED THIS SOMETHING AKIN TO WORLD

WAR II, THE BASIC -- THE MOBILIZATION THAT IS NEEDED TO

THAT WAS USED IN WORLD WAR II BY HARRY TRUMAN TO HOLD CORPORATE

LEADERS TO ACCOUNT SO THEY DIDN'T WAR PROFITEER.

>> YES, WE CAN, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON THAT SUBJECT.

WHEN HE WAS A SENATOR, THEN SENATOR TRUMAN INTRODUCED THE

IT WAS LATER KNOWN AS THE TRUMAN COMMITTEE, BUT THAT WASN'T ITS

AND THE REASON HE PUT IT FORTH WAS TO SAY, AFTER WORLD WAR I,

THERE WERE 116 INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEES TO SEE HOW THE MONEY

WAS SPENT AND WHAT WENT WRONG, OR WHATEVER.

WHAT HE WAS SAYING IS RATHER THAN 116 AFTER THE FACT, I WANT

ONE DURING THE FACT, AND IT WAS LESS THAN A MILLION DOLLARS

SPENT TO SAVE $15 BILLION AND LIVES, WHICH WAS ITS PURPOSE,
