7:08 am
announcement in may, and this really solidifies it and while it may not in some ways be anything practical as a it has a lot of symbolism, and i think people will be watching in september when the first major american party puts forth support for the issue. >> do you have any nervousness politically -- it is still close, right? >> it is close, but when i looked at the data this week from the pew poll. if you do want to look at it politically, i think that groups that matter for the president and democrats in recollection are behind this in the right way. one of the things that struck me about the pew poll which did find majority support for the issue, and particular surge among democratic supporters, is the gender gap. let me see if i can find these
7:09 am
numbers. in the pew poll women favor marriage equality 51% to 40%. men oppose it 47-43 opposition. but i think there's no path to the white house without the women as we have observed time and again in the overtures that the president has made. so that group, i think is important. also youth who overwhelmingly support this. and whether they identify as conservative liberal, or moderate, and somewhere in between. and they are hitting the right notes with the right people who need to be spoken to on the issue. >> i have heard one political analyst say that. this election -- as much as we hear so much talk about the
7:10 am
independents but a huge amount of americans are for the right? >> yes, and it's reviewing where people stand. it's the party catching up to where the parties have been. but i certainly think, yes, that it is the right step to energize those people, you know, in a year where enthusiasm has been lacking to bring the youth the base, and the women. and for that reason i think it is politically very smart. but there is the more high-minded what this means really in terms of having that in the document. >> yeah, and speaking of the women's vote. republicans have also very helpfully wage 234d war on women. >> yes. yes, they have. in four to eight years i think we could be talk about a republican party having marriage
7:11 am
equality in their . >> absolutely. >> but right now, the same poll that i was citing for pew, shows republicans coming along, but more creeping along. i think they are at 25% support on the marriage equality issue. the d.c. republican party i believe is the only state-level republican party that has endorsed the issue. marriage equality of course is already in the law in dc. but i think it will -- within the next decade or so we are could be looking at that level of change, but i wouldn't expect it this year. >> absolutely. in a side note on the war on women, mike kelly compared new regulation requiring insurers to provide women without a copay pearl harbor meaning a bad thing. >> yes.
7:12 am
>> i had not heard those numbers, but it doesn't surprise me. >> yeah, it's interesting, and i think for that reason the democrats are reaching out to women once again on this issue and to the youth, so it will be politically a good thing for them. >> absolutely, julie we will check back in with you as the election rolls along. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. and have a good day.

8:31 am
and i think there's something absurd crazy, and dangerous about one family owning more wealth than the bottom 40% of america. let me bore you with just a few other -- >> please. >> -- statistics if i can, stephanie. because i think it's important that the american people understand. >> please. >> here you have the top 1% of america, now own 40% of all wealth. okay. take a guess, what do the bottom 60% of americans own in terms of wealth. >> 6%? >> no. >> i'm out. math is hard. >> 2%. >> wow. say that again. >> the top 1% owns 40% of all of the wealth of the country. the bottom 60% strong majority
8:32 am
of the american people own less than 2%. >> wow. >> wouldn't that mean -- >> i'll tell you what that means because we don't talk about it enough. what it means in many important and frightening ways this country is moving away from the democratic traditions of a strong middle class, and moving into an [ inaudible ] form of government. people may not be familiar with that term, but what a that means is that you are living in a nation in which a handful of wealthy families control the money and the political efforts of the country. the last study we have seen on this issue was between 2009 and 2010, hold on to your hats 93%
8:33 am
of all new income during that year went to the top 1%, bottom 99% shared the remaining 7%. >> how do you respond? because you know what the right-wing says, the president hates success. i talked to a goldman sachs guy that said when we all make $250,000 a year which is what the president wants -- and i said really? you hate success, you hate the waltons for being successful. >> i think there are two points to be made. right now we have a record-breaking number of americans living in poverty. we have the highest rate of childhood poverty in the industrialized world. we have to make a determination whether it is acceptable that millions of our kids are living in poverty. many of them will drop out of high school. and end up in jail or on the
8:34 am
streets, while other people have more money than they can going to use in a -- many many lifetimes. should we be investing in our children? we have 45,000 people this year who are going to die because they don't get to a doctor when they should, and we have 50 million people who are uninsured. should we invest in healthcare? you are dealing with a fundamental moral issue. the right-wing is saying sanders and others want to take away everybody's money. that's nonsense. when dwight d eisenhower was president, we had a marginal tax rate for the very, very wealthy people of this country of 90%. and during those times the economy worked very, very well. so we're talking about a nation in which we do not have this horrendous gap between the people on top and everybody
8:35 am
else. and let me tell you what is doubly frightening is what we also know that as a result of the terrible supreme court decision called citizens united, these people with the money now have the opportunity not only to buy coal companies and oil companies and control wall street. they also now have the opportunity to buy the united states government through the political process. and what w not just the koch brothers prefair to spend $400 million in this campaign, or sheldon adelson, we have 25 documented donors who are willing to tend $100 million in this election. so they are going to be buying the wealthy so the richest people can become richer. >> here we are again at the bush
8:36 am
tax cuts fight at absolute stalemate, right. >> what the republicans want to do is when we have a $1.2 trillion deficit what the republicans want to do is give another trillion dollars to people who do not need it in tax breaks. that's about 50%. >> wow. and here -- here we are with this new study saying that mitt romney's plan is going to raise taxes on 95% of us. and this is -- they cited this as a non-partisan tax center and now they are saying this is a joke, this study. >> no, it's not a joke at all. let's be very clear. in the last number of years -- not just the last few years -- there has been class warfare being perpetrated
8:37 am
against the rich and the middle class. what they are saying, that's not enough. it's not enough that the top 1% have 40% of the wealth. we want more and more and more. and you know what? what we also want to do is give tax breaks to the rich and expand the deficit. what we then have to do is to cut social security. we have to cut medicare medicaid, food stamps and increase hunger in america. this is warfare. this is political warfare of the people on top against everybody else. if these people are successful in doing what they want cutting medicaid, which provided health care to the poorest people in this country people will die. and if you cut food stamps more people will go hungry and get sick. and they want to do that so the
8:38 am
billionaires want to have more money? give me a break. it's time we took these people on. >> yeah senator we got the job numbers there so some good news there. i think it must be so frustrating to those of you in the trenches that if we can get any help from the republicans, this recovery would be going better? >> absolutely. you can make a very strong, and i think truthful argument that the republicans are more concerned about keeping the economy weak so that obama might look bad so they can gain votes in november rather than putting people back to work. every economist will tell you if you want to grow jobs what you have to do is put money into rebuilding our infrastructure roads, bridges, water systems, broadband, et cetera. republicans are opposing those
8:39 am
efforts day and night. >> yep. >> they are opposing efforts vigorously to help us transform our energy system away from fossil fuel and cut the fuel bills and cut back on greenhouse emissions by transforming energy, great jobs doing that. they don't want to do that either. >> senator at the risk of making tom hartman insanely jealous we have a caller from vermont with one question for you. all right? elizabeth from vermont go ahead. >> hi bernie. >> hello elizabeth. >> i have been voting for you since you were the mayor of burlington. >> thank you. >> one thing i wanted to ask you
8:40 am
is how you felt about eliminating the electoral college? i mean, it's so ridiculous that we still have an electoral college given how fluid our population is, especially in hard times, people move to find jobs, and the electoral college i believe is based on the ten-year census? >> well the electoral college is based on the constitution of the united states. >> right, and they changed the numbers. >> that's right. some states lose population other states have bigger populations. >> right, but that is only every ten years. >> that's correct. >> and as you very well know vermont is very top heavy as far as a college state, so -- you know, we do -- every fall we have a huge influx of students --
8:41 am
>> i think that's -- population -- students will -- will they can't say that they live in michigan and they live in vermont. it depends on where students want to register to vote -- >> bernie i know you have got to run. are you concerned about these voter id laws? >> very, very concerned. on one hand now the supreme court has opened the spigot so that billionaires can bialek shuns. and then we'll seeing republican governors and legislatures engaging very clearly in what i could call voter suppression making it harder and harder for low-income people, seniors, people that don't have driver's licenses to vote, so, yes, we are going to do everything we can to make sure people in this country can participate in the political process.
