we already know that used to turn out in this election was
something the president depending on
to see uh... he's absurdities you know to get the group that he needed to do to
win this election
as howie flips the slick virginia
so useless taste like colorado
that's how the president on this matter was for the young people college
students millennial stern ever the president and record number
but the problem is still remains the same ladies and gentlemen even though
you didn't turn out for the president group is not enough for the president
just to
makes it legal backing up has health insurance is our number the president's
aces not double our rates
young people want to see that the table millennial won a seat at the table were
two
you groups
in america
of voting bloc that does not have a sea of decision making to joining me is alex
or if he is the chair
of the campaign for a presidential youth council
i mean he's a good friend of mine who talked with us before and so have we
didn't want to talk about the importance all the presidential uska council allies
on the show
well thank you very much for having me richard are really said it would be on
the show tonight
all i think they're doing on some noble work and i think you know it would be
who would be wrong
others its knowledge of the young syndicated show on the country not to
have enough to support
a presidential youth council for just what
well thankyou uh... we would really appreciate it and i'm actually quite
over cat up you about it
yes not tell me why
or for will blow global talk on the stumbling block to build the negative
although the positive for let's talk about the pos
what is the president's youth counselor would do
so what we've got a card mexican tomato lipton four hundred cities across unit
after twenty state
at what level
an article proposition to take that proven local model and bring it to the
national level
i would be a couple of twenty or poor young people in his sixteen a
twenty-four represent both prior to the island i'm booked by the political
perspective
anorexic on three major attack
the for-profit simply to collect and share the views of a hundred and four
million americans
but under the age of twenty four and share them with the president with
policy makers in the fabric ordinary citizen
uh... by analyzing pointed out during working person's across the country
uh... using new media technologies
stuck with their friends and find out
really one of the issues that matter
the second thing it would do a complete over the plumbing pork-barrel
policymakers on the design implementation heaped coffee
the idea being that one of programs in credit for young people when a party
theme design
policymakers whether or not the members of congress whether or not a member of
the administration
should we do have a group of young people they can go to talk to about the
politics
what is important well make government work the ship more active because young
people know what they needed what they feel
uh... one of my favorite examples of this is from the city of hampton
virginia
william people save the city a hundred thousand dollars simply by saying please
influx that he playgrounds
but simply one of the big pile up in it that when a plane
uh... predictable what does it show that the we can make it for the government
for bishop more effective
and the black saying that the president for you couple with q uh... and the one
that we will get to me even more quickly and i think that the most important
uh... you start looking at issues that affect the long-term future of the
country uh... every single year we would act the presidential you couple of pics
on one of major issues
at issue a credit bipartisan pollution to look at that issue
prominent perspective
of our generation though maybe environment maybe
that may be educational form took polly issued a arpita talked about the really
are gonna have a large affect our generation
into the idea is that how can we bring that to the forefront
at least are putting out some solutions of operating a discussion on this issue
now talking about raising the specimens issues arm
will this youth council deal with some of the pression ish pressing issue that
face in people like us to loan debt crisis
on the lack of youth unemployment is activity part of the conversation or
would just sort of the apple don't you know the leader the president when it
comes to developing policy training initiatives and the like
now i'm not prepared great thing about this couple we are really happy with
people to come to the table and create
uh... of recommendation for the president and tell the president when
young people respect for this is in no way going to be a tool for shut the
parts
propaganda
but what are you going to be a tool for
itself for the president and well citizens all across the united states to
care about those issues that really matter to young people because they're
important but having a future fact
all of our lives
uh... and we need to make sure broken walking ten are hearing about those but
that's the purpose but it was
gladly outlook on the balanced with the chair of the campaign for president the
president to use council now alex there's a lot of things amendment
clearly
you know they're stumbling blocks to getting this council in place i think
it's time for the great idea when i would hope on from my and i think from a
lot a lot of things out there that week expand that age to sort of include
beyond six in twenty four to talk about our
twenty eighteen twenty nines and thirty-seven dorsal also left out of the
conversation in washington but beyond that fact
you know decide in the position or what have you know you have you spoken with
the white house where are you guys in the process of you know getting this
issue to the forefront
court so react
that i've had the white house counsel for community solution
come out battle at june in the final report president obama in court and
recommend the creation
of the council
uh... and being able to target commitment johnmark seminar let the
pilot chair of the house democratic caucus
uh... joined congressman john should get the republican allan ooi
along with five other member of the congress to talk to the crater a
president really powerful
this is number are we had better come utah herbal revolution brockton benefit
profile good bystanders scott brown with or other members at that point for a
presidential youth council
thirteen a lot of support increasing coming from called makers in the film
makers in washington that will really ticks right about that
uh... we have engaged in a period of time discussions with the administration
equity partner purple that i am i think the big stumbling block block report
coming up
is if there is a mighty year and you're right now in washington that budgets as
so tight everywhere
but about climbing you know where it popped voted for the money and this is
what life
were calling for the top of the privately-funded uh... and cell i think
things are looking pretty positive if we can show up for private funding and show
the vote
you can point to individuals
uh... and while corporations and foundations care about the voices abiam
now the other thing is this something about this is the same commissions are
counseled the president pretty much everything is wonderful women and girls
here's one for vat returning veterans there's one for java competitors in the
news recently we really have never seen the white house or or or leather any
white house
take a stand on the uses using creating of commute only deals with issues that
affect
young people in america
and your colleague record that uh... according to the report that i've done
uh... there's never really been anything like it
uh... the only one of the national view congress uh... under president roosevelt
uh... that eleanor roosevelt was actually fairly involved it but that was
to stop locks and there have been anything fit
uh... how quick you know the white house uh... and ask about
two thousand nine doesn't intend to distribute roundtable on the ship
uh... they put in the first beverly is on the american alpha buddy act out
their five runny show
uh... and so they've made some steps and i think we feel a tremendous kind of
person the person istration tart
you know talking more young people occurred occasionally duncan federal
weekly sorry for the monthly your greatest that was different group of
young leaders
but what washington's really missing is a fireplace for kind of
institutionalizing euphoric and really make sure that they were always at the
coffee table automakers have a place to go to
and that's where we have built a pulpit
photo pictured act and that's the idea that we're pushing at this can't
complete the a one-time bank
this needs to be a year-round engagement the next generation
what are you guys going to make sure this doesn't the fourth we know you guys
