in iowa city. his talk there was at noontime, the des moines register reports that thousands of people turned up in iowa city. they started lining up at 7:30 a.m. for an event that wouldn't start until noon. the des moines register reports that lines to get in stretched multiple city blocks, and they had to set up a whole separate overflow event in iowa in february to go to a noontime meeting with bernie sanders. and this is not just a bernie sanders phenomenon. this, for example, was the no special occasion regular organizing meeting last night for the indivisible chapter in collingswood, new jersey. they again had guessed that there might be an unusually large amount of interest, given everything that's going on. so they booked a hall that could hold a huge number of people for just a regular organizing meeting. on a wednesday night, they booked a hall that could hold 450 people, but they filled that 450 seat room, and then another 200 people showed up and could not get in, and they decided they

rise today to honor the incredible work being done by heidi kauffman anded dedicated team at the iowa city veterans administration medical certainty. their innovative use of arrow ma therapy in the post and necessary thesa care unit is helping our veterans. they have introduce add noninvasive natural solution to combat postoperative nausea and vomiting. in a recent study 12 out of 47 patients reported complete relief from nausea using only aroma therapy. although that's a small amount, it's not pharmaceutical, it's not addictive, and the cost is extremely low. this testament -- this achievement is a testment to their compassion, skills, and commitment to improving patient care t can go far beyond the pacu. heidi and her team have proven sometimes the simplest solutions can make the most profound impact. it not only enhances recovery process but brings comfort and healing to those who served our country. we are deeply grateful to the dedication of our veterans anti-care they provide. thank you -- and the care they provide. thank you. mr. speaker, i feel compelled to remark on the outrage of

congressional districts that republicans won by the narrowest of margins by less than 1% in omaha and in iowa citys like, you know, 10 to 12, 15 districts across america trying to hit them up. and i think if you look at the next three months, republicans are going to have a hell of a time trying to pass medicaid cuts. >> that would hurt. >> tremendously across their entire districts. >> head start. >> meals on wheels veterans already being laid off from veterans hospitals, community centers already facing cuts. these are where regular working class americans need champions in the democratic party, looking to be a working class party needs to associate with those people, particularly in some of these key districts, letting people know that we can peel off some of these votes, we can create enough. remember the tea party of 2010? if you create enough of a populist revolt against the ruling of the billionaire class, i do think you got a shot to take down some of their agenda. >> what i resonate very much with what he just said. what do you think you were talking about? young people and inspiring youn

districts where republicans narrowly held congressional seats in omaha and iowa, omaha, nebraska, iowa city. the crowds were disproportionately large. they got 2 or 3 times as many people as they had expected. they had to do overflow rooms for these events. and what sanders was saying to these folks is, you know, don't get so excited about me and don't get so excited about what you're hearing from washington. talk to your member of congress and tell them that very soon, they're going to be debating huge tax cuts for people like elon musk, for very rich people. tell your member of congress you don't want that. and so i think that if they start to hear that, that could have a real impact. >> we'll see. it's still very early days. john nichols, thanks for coming on. always good to see you, my friend. that's going to do it for me today. what a day it's been. deadline. white house starts right now. >> hi there everyone. >> it's 4:00. >> in. >> new. >> york to direct the day to day. >> functioning of the agency responsible for preventing and investigating. >> terror attacks.

the independent senator followed this up with another packed event in iowa city on saturday, and planshose out there who have been anxiously wondering where the resistance is to trump and musk, sanders had this to say. >> we can. >> defeat them. i know how much money they have. i know their ownership of the media. i know that. >> they can buy and sell politicians. i know. >> all of that. but this i. >> also know that when. we stand together and not let them. >> divide us up by the color. >> of our skin or where we were. >> born, or our sexual orientation or our religion, when we. >> stand together, we can defeat them, and we must. >> defeat them. >> sanders has been warning us about the oligarchy for decades, and while the wealthy have had way too much power in american politics, the oligarchy is now officially in charge and running it in our faces. at 83 years old, another presidential run seems very unlikely. but his consistent message about what ails this country and how trump and musk are embodying it resonates more than ever. it's a popular and winning message. if only there were

iowa city was also very good. what we're trying to do now is go to about 15 different congressional districts around the country where republican members of congress won by slim margins. and to make it clear to the people in those districts that they have got to tell their members of congress, the republican members, that they cannot support a reconciliation bill, a budget which gives incredible massive tax breaks to the richest people in this country at a time when we already have unprecedented income and wealth inequality. and it gets the money to give those tax breaks by cutting medicaid, education, housing and the needs of working people. this is the robin hood principle in reverse taking from working people in the poor, giving it to billionaires. but above and beyond that, we just talked about the consumer financial protection board. this is a government run by oligarchs. when trump was inaugurated, standing right behind him were the three wealthiest people in this country. and behind them were another 13 peo

in omaha, we're going to iowa city, and i and others are going to be going all over this country to make it clear to the american people what's at stake. bottom line is, look, this is america. people fought and died for our democracy. we need a government that works for all of us, not just elon musk and his fellow billionaires. >> senator bernie sanders, great to have you, as always. >> nice to be. >> with you. thank you very much. we'll be sure to cover that tour. up next, president trump is blaming ukraine for russia's invasion as he is sending his top diplomats to meet with senior russian officials about achieving peace. ukraine was not at that table. >> i hear that, you know, they're upset about not having a seat. well, they've had a seat for three years. >> we also have brand new video tonight of that moment. the delta plane crash landed in toronto yesterday. questions about how this happened. >> welcome back. >> have i got news for you? >> new saturday on cnn. >> you'll be back. emus can help people. customize and save with. >> liberty mutual. >> and doug. >> well. >> i'll be. >> o

that millions of people had just moved from a village, a village in sicily or a village in iowa, to the big city left their family and friends and connections behind. so they were very disconnected, just like we are very disconnected. and they were very self-centered if i can put it that way. americans in that period, were focused on i and not on we. judy: his recent book the upswing describes these parallels in detail and how out of those challenges came an explosion of new civic, religious and social groups. the boy scouts, the naacp, the rotary club, the general federation of women's clubs, as well as the many reforms that came to be known as the progressive era. the federal income tax, women's suffrage, labor rights, and more. change in the course of the following decades. >> all of a sudden we would begin to become more equal, less polarized, more connected. in a greater sense we are all in this together. judy: what did they do? >> both positive and negative lessons. i thought for sure i knew what would change -- i thought it was economics on i thought maybe the economics would change first
