>> i'm not bernie sanders.nd i have been. >> so, who is right here? did biden go further to the left or is he still in the center where he has been, actually, frankly, for most of his political career? >> so far in terms of the legislation he's been able to pass, it's fairly centrists. the other comment we did hear from the president, though, in this press conference remarks is the fact he's got the backing of 48 of 50 of the democratic senators and what is notable there is that he and bernie sanders have been aligned on most of the legislative priorities. it's two more moderate senators, manchin and cinema he's knot been able to align with. one of the things that's interesting throughout the year is certainly, there are progressive activists from the outside who have been frustrated, kexasperated and voicing concerns. there was a lot of hope the biden white house would accomplish more than it has in the first year. that being said, i am struck by some of the praguogressive lead in the senate or house, jayapal

i'm not bernie sanders. i'm not a socialist.m democrat and i have been. >> what was your reaction when you heard that? >> well, i'm not joe biden. i like him, but i'm not joe biden. i'm a progressive who believes the democratic party should make it clear that we are prepared to take on powerful special interests like the drug companies, like the insurance company, like the fossil fuel industry, that we have to demand that the wealthy start paying their fair share of taxes. look, i think president biden has done something quite unusual. he has taken a hard look at the problems facing the american people. he's brought forth legislation to try to address that. i respect that. obviously we have our strong differences. >> and what do you say to those who say part of the reason why you're stuck, as you just described, in process and policy, is because joe biden is governing more like bernie sanders than joe biden and that's not what the american people asked for? >> well, i would turn that around and say how does it happen that the po

this discussion, i have to say that he did not attack joe manchin and sinema, he took a dig at bernie sanders manchin and sinema. what's left? there's nothing left to lose. >> i agree with that. senator sanders has been a impeccable partner with this. he's been pushing the agenda harder than the president has. he's been meeting with workers. now we need to say, we need to talk to manchin and sinema. i think he's just so afraid of the word socialism for some reason. or no good deed goes unpunished. it's quite unfortunate that he continues to bash senator sanders in that way. he has been tremendously helpful to this president. >> maybe we should have the former chair of the rnc sit down with joe biden and -- as we've seen today. hold on to all your thoughts. we appreciate you taking time out for this weekend. because, you've heard some of the failures of the first year of the bidens -- and i'm gonna miss as many as i can in just the -- and continue this conversation with our very lively panel. stay with us. just the -- and continue this or even well-spoken. (man) ooooooo. (vo) but there's just

so much damage and the progress you ever he defeated for the nomination elizabeth warren and bernie sandersallies. i don't grom that side of the party, terrific. he should have left bernie's name out of it. he has to get back to the sense that he's middle class joe and middle america joe. it's not so much left/right but it was up/down. music to my years. the white house should take the clip of what hilary said before me and make that the playbook for the next year, but it's that up-down kind of economic populism where biden is so strong and that's where he needs to be. >> we have a lot of conversations in washington about process and internal party friction because that's what we do. covid is the dominating issue in the country, and if you look at right tracks wrong track. the right track has barely budged in the year of the biden presidency and the wrong track has gone up six points. that's because of covid exhalves, whether it's about schools, economics or health. what can the president do about that? >> first, he can talk about it, right? i think he didn't spend mere nearly enough time y

governor and dnc chair ed rendell and nina turner, former ohio state senator and chairman of bernie sanders' presidential campaign. the president is expected to tout his successes this year. the unkplamt rate at 3.9%. more americans have been vaccinated. they are sending out hundreds of millions of tests and masks. do you think that's enough for this administration to take a victory lap about? >> sure. understand we went from 2 million americans being vaccinated to over 200 million americans being fully vaccinated. great achievement, and people said it couldn't be done. secondly, the economy is coming right back, first with the american rescue plan which saved millions of small businesses and families from going bankrupt and going out of business entirely. that was a hugely successful

this is nina turner, a key deputy for bernie sanders, a prominent progressive in ohio. she says because senator sinema and manchin won't help the president he should do this. >> he wasted a whole bunch of time with these folks being diplomatic and inviting them out to the white house and he needs to hold a press conference. let them know you're going to be by my side and be with me and getting rid of the filibuster or i'm gassing up the jet on your behind and i will be in arizona and west virginia directly and let the american people know who is standing in the way of my entire agenda, not just voting rights, but.gas up the jet. >> you see, you hearings you don't need to explain the anger and the frustration right there. the challenge though is in a mid-term election if you have a democratic civil war that makes a tough campaign environment even worth. >> yeah. i don't -- i think that what the white house could do to help president biden and his approval ratings and his chances in the

she was co-chair of bernie sanders 2020 presidential campaign. we're also joined by jonathan cott, former senior adviser to joe manchin. nina, to you first. what appears to be voting rights legislation dead. >> i mean, this is a sad day. we're in the 201 century. we are not in the 19th, 18th century. this is a sad day, a sad time for democracy. and although the african american community certainly shoulders an enormous burden when it comes to voting rights because of the historic import of how we had to fight and people had to die to get those rights, this is an attack, make no mistake, on every single person in this country, particularly the poor, the working poor, and the barely middleclass. an absolute sad day that you have senators that would rather

stuck, as you just described, in process and policy, is because joe biden is governing more like bernie sanders than joe biden and that's not what the american people asked for? >> well, i would turn that around and say how does it happen that the policies we are now fighting for are enormously popular? cnn did some polling out there. ask whether the american people think it's time to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry, ask whether we should

a bring wall with that. >> joining me now is the independent progressive senator of vermont, bernie sanders. senator sanders, welcome back to "meet the press," sir. >> good to be with you. >> give me your take on why the president and the democratic political party are in a precarious position at the second year of the presidency? >> i'll tell you why. i think the president and the democratic congress started off very, very strongly. they looked at the economic congress that was caused by covid. we set up strongly and we passed the american rescue plan, which did an enormous amount in revitalizing our economying put money into the havens of working people and money into hospitals and health care, and lowered childhood poverty by 40% by putting direct payments into the hands of working class payments all over this country, we were off to a great start and we passed along the way the strongest infrastructure bill that has been passed since dwight d. eisenhower in order to rebuild our crumbling roads and bridges and water systems and expand broadband and expand many good-paying jobs and we wer

and senator bernie sanders picking another fight with corporate america.h the details on this. what's going on? >> reporter: brian, senator bernie sanders surely has never been afraid to throw a punch, and this time it is bernie versus black rock sanders told me he wants blackrock's ceo to step in and stop the protests. workers there have been on strike for otver a year >> we have perhaps the largest private equity firm in the country managing $10 trillion in assets, making billions of dollars of year in profits, saying we can't intervene to make sure that kids, children of the miners don't go hungry that's the pressure that has to be placed on the ceos and large corporations. >> it's a strategy that bernie sanders has used before, he called on warren buffett to intervene last month at a steel union. and then there was the beef with jeff bezos over the minimum wage, amazon raised the wage to $15 an hour after sanders introduced a bill that would have penalized the company. >> people are sick and tired of the greed we are seeing. people on top right now dur

not is what gives appeal get, you know, to candidates like bernie sanders and like donald trump, who people view to be authentic. yeah. helen, i mean it's, it's, you know, we go through these cycles who have the mid terms in general and we get, you know, you go round and sort of, it's great for programs like this to talk about politics, you know. but at the end of day, how much gets done, i mean, richard is absolutely right. we have all these promises. i don't care if it's a republican or a democrat, all of these promises and we basically get more or less the same. and i think that this is, there's a great fatigue in that because they're a really huge problems facing the electorate. and you know, with so many promises made than promises broken. i mean, and i, and it's this become more apparent in the, by the administrator. maybe just because he just isn't up to the job. i'm not a doctor. okay. but you know the same thing. i mean, i've seen this, you know, obama came in and it was the radiant view. future a left, an empty suit. okay. and we see this repeatedly over and over again. you

the bernie sanders agenda is terrible. and only the true radical left supports it., nbc's chuck todd had this to say on president biden and cbs's margaret brennan also took a focus group and had a lot of surprising reaction what is going on. watch this. >> he is no longer seen as competent and effective. >> who feels like we're in a better place now than we were a year ago? show of hands. no one believes we're in a better spot now? >> i just don't understand. i thought this was going to be a president for the people, of the people. elizabeth: what is your reaction, congressman? >> i mean, look, my reaction just to smirk. it is sad for the country. i'm not surprised. listen, america, i've been telling you now for months. joe biden is over his head. he doesn't know what he is doing. he is incompetent. and now the american people, even people who were moderates, democrats, they know it as well. we have to get over this politics of personalities where people decide who they will like or not like, that is how they go vote. be focused what the policies actually are. be fo

today he said he is not bernie sanders. what do you think he means by that? >> d window is bernie sanders, he ran as a centrist. i believe he is a centrist. many of these issues deserve our attention. former president trump tried to get in to structure bill passed over and over again. he had infrastructure week and he would roll in semi's to try and make the case. never delivered. president biden did deliver. in terms of some of the other issues, childcare, pre-k, our friends and allies in europe already have those programs. we are not breaking new ground. it would be a great benefit to families in the united states. i do think he is a centrist, and for the most part is ruling as a centrist. kristen: i want to talk about voting rights protection, a vote could come tonight, but it seems all but doomed. how would you explain to californians why we should be alarmed if no federal law is enacted because of what is happening in other states? >> california has a robus voting rights package in place. everyone can vote by mail, everyone in the state will get a ballot

unfortunately, the democratic party is now controlled by the hard left, the bernie sanders, the elizabeth warren types, and so biden was supposed to be a unifier, but he comes in with a hard left agenda thinking he's going to be another franklin roosevelt. and the american people aren't very happy about giant increases and the tax burden and the burden of government spending not dimension. afghanistan and the pandemic and things like that. i think biden is like a deer in the headlights, big as having been a career politician who simply punched a clock and did whatever a sort of consensus was for the democratic party. he's now hot in a democratic party that wants to do radical things that just aren't where the american people are. you know, you know, richard is the, the, the f d r has been mentioned so many times, i think it's quite laughable because f, d, r had a truly a mandate. and when he came into the presidency, but you know, f d r, if you like or dislike. um, he said we need to get america back to work. i'm, i'm a pretty simple guy. i can understand a statement like that. let's get

. >> i'll talk to bernie sanders and moderate representative slot kin. what democrats need to do next. plus, no breakthroughs with russia. with russia poised to invade, the british government now says moscow is plotting to install a pro-russian leader in ukraine. my guest this morning, the secretary of state antony blinken. also covid peaks and plateaus. >> my hope is this is the beginning of the end. >> hospitalizations are down in the northeast but rising in other places. >> we've definitely seen an increase in our critical care patients. >> the question now, who do americans trust for information about covid? joining me for inside analysis are nbc chief correspondent kristin welker, carlos krr or -- corbella. it's sunday morning and it's "meet the press." >> announcer: this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >>> a good sunday morning. president biden's news conference on wednesday was designed to kick off a second year reset of his presidency, recaptures political identity, if you will. it is suggested that he doesn't need a reset because he is no l

and congress of the "build back better", the bernie sanders of budget. present was at pains this week that's not what i've done, that's not fair. but how the voters see it? >> well, 47% say the democratic party and administration have gone too far to the left. he really see in all of the polls that normally people favorite democrats over republicans when he asked them party questions. right now they are favoring republicans over democrats by pretty wide margins. eight points with he might have to go back to 94 to find numbers as lopsided as this. >> a while, the president also stressed his accomplishments, legislatively the infrastructure built undeniably past. the covid to bill $1.000000000000 in spending why isn't he getting more credit for those? >> with the economy inflation out of control it's very hard to go before the american public and say things are going well, i have accomplished a lot. i've done more than anybody else. there making a plan of action to deal with the facing. almost everyone in the most recent poll people zeroed in on the grocer

they didn't talk about anything bernie sanders proposed. it's a scare tactic. it's a red scare and i think we are seeing the rise of the term socialism or marxist or the way they tried to tie say critical race theory to scary socialism and marxism stuff in a bad sense. the caller put her finger on something which is that it is kind of a moral panic and the term socialist often gets thrown around to say you're not really american. you're not really patriotic. you are alien, you are other, you are dangerous. therefore as the caller mentioned earlier, you're far outside the bounds of political decency and being worthy of respect as a citizen. the caller said i shouldn't even be in the same status and because i live in new yorkcity. we couldn't ask for a better example of what the caller was just getting . >> host: but you said that there's somehow two sides in formats like yours to gain understanding of each other do you think that's possible ? >> yes because to be honest, with someone like ross coming on the podcast or even our friend hoffman glenn mentioned earl

so bernie sanders, socialist bernie sanders, and pretty much socialist aoc think that they can primary joe manchin in the state of west virginia, like they have more pull with west virginia voters than joe manchin does. what do you think about that? >> i say, do it. [laughter] i think that would be great not only for people in west virginia, but for the american public. that will push both of those senators, i think both joe manchin and senator sinema, to move at a minimum towards declaring themselves independents and likely caucusing with the gop if not outright switching, at least in manchin's case, all the way over to the republican party. so my hope is, do it. one of bernie's allies talked about needing to fire up air force one and bring joe biden to that state. i say do it as well. not only go to west virginia and arizona, while you're at it, go to nevada and new hampshire because joe biden's numbers are in the tank because, ironically, joe biden is no longer the moderate that he claimed to be. the guy who's the moderate is joe manchin. david: right, right. i'm going to get into t

i'm no bernie sanders. ent president. >> well, joe biden can say and tried to convince people he is a mainstream democrat, but that is not how he's governed. the reality is the far left has controlled the agenda and he is allow that to happen. he has allowed aoc and bernie sanders to pull to the left. again, the proof is in and upholding whether the bird crisis inflation crisis, the largest as i said tax increase in the nation's history that he proposed, whether the federal takeover of the schools and this woke agenda that is allowing the progressives to hijack his presidency and we are very excited as we head into momentud we will support from the american people to be a check on this reckless administration. >> ainsley: you wrote an op-ed for foxnews.com and headlined "biden disastrous first year, american suffering and they want change." you can't imagine how biden and democrats could have performed worse in their first year, but he said yesterday that he didn't overpromise and outperformed in the first y

they got the second cousin of bernie sanders. that's not what they wanted. i like bernie but he tested negative for president. he lost. and president biden or whoever is advising him have told him i don't care what the president says he has adopted bernie sanders' agenda and it's not what the american people want and he also said, president biden said, if you don't agree with me you are a bull connor, george wallace racist. have we sunk that low? >> harris: when he was asked about that he said i didn't say that. the exchange was pretty nasty in terms of attitude from the president because he was trying to correct the reporter for asking him the question correctly. the reporter said, you know, are they in the same lane? do they have the same sort of tinge than that i'm paraphrasing the reporter now. the president said i didn't say that. he said that. they would be just like that person. i guess a shade of difference there but he is more concerned about the question and answer period on that than actually what is happening it would seem. i want to get to you o

bernie sanders is a socialist. bernie sanders is a socialist.he's getting in bed with -- forgive the allusion but if he is allying himself with the socialists look at what this gallup poll which shows year after year the exact same numbers. 60% of americans favor capitalism over socialism and i think 38% number may be a little off but it has been the same for the past 12 years now. the president claims he comes out and says i am a capitalist but when he has policies that follow the socialist line americans don't buy it anymore. you can't fool all the people all the time. >> he can claim to be a capitalist but at the end of the day can't bernie sanders and the democrat party in washington believe the federal government is the answer to every single problem and it is the only way to fix anything in this country and that is not capitalism. that is more like socialism and dictatorship and crazy and also doesn't work. think about how much time democrats spend today talking about the filibuster. it's always talk about. you know has to worry about the

and biden, for her biden, is already elisa, very different from bernie sanders, the idol of the idealistic left wing, as they wanted. sanders in the white house, and a scathing about the president of biden's kind of fiddling all america burns. it's, he's not there. he's not present and he feels checked out by dan is out of touch, lacking a conscience towards the people in this country who need a whole lot of help right now. it looks like optimism may have run out for many young voters, and so has their support for joe biden. environmental groups in germany have released a new report saying pesticides are causing or they're calling an ecological armageddon that says millions of people fall ill from faces. that poisoning every year. and the use of such chemicals is threatening not only global health, but also biodiversity pesticides protect crops. but they're dangerous to more than the pests that they kill. last october, 270 people died and been way in a cheerier, poisoned by an insecticide. fisherman poured it into this river, then collected the dead fish. people drink from this river and t

better bill, it appeared to a lot of people that he was adopting the platform of people like bernie sanderscratic party. and he opened himself to exactly that kind of criticism. bernie was out there applauding him for doing that. people began to suspect that maybe sanders and people on the left of the democratic party had more influence on the president than people in the center left who really were the ones that nominated him and then helped get him elected. >> sandra: i have 10 second. you have any mid-term election predictions? >> well, right now the president and democrats have a lot of work to do. the polling is against them. the number that i always look at, if you think the country is headed in the right direction or the wrong direction. the past year, of the reason why president trump was denied re-election. so democrats have a lot of work to do to get back to the center of american life and politics. >> martha: all good points. great to have you here. >> you too. thank you, sandra. >> sandra: the president cleaning up remarks about russia here while things are diceyer every minute

the democrats' proposal would allow for the supporters of bernie sanders and their tax dollars to go into my reelection account. i oppose that. it would undermine voter i.d. laws across our country. i oppose that. it puts unaccountable bureaucrats in charge of our elections. americans oppose that. and walking in on the day of the election, registering to vote without any verification is something i, too, oppose. and so, madam president, when i think about the important issue of voting and when i think about the issue of voter suppression, it lands on my front porch. because as a guy who has voted in the deep south all my life, as a person who was born in 1965 with a mama who understands racism, discrimination, and separate and not equal, the grandfather who i took to vote and helped him cast his vote because he was unable to read, to have a conversation in a narrative that is blatantly false is offensive not just to me or southern americans but offensive to millions of americans who fought, bled, and died for the right to vote. so if we're going to have an honest conversation about t

i see bernie sanders too . although we'd probably like could be anathema to most with means the under privilege touch base, but hopefully come to realize the purpose of politics on government. john besset says, in terms of the storming for the capital there right there with the weapons of mass destruction, stage political theater to keep the masses distracted fuel. mccrae says, and lation colon po, he lots about weapons of mass destruction lost all respect from when he took that. i want to favor regret to seen it too. it's christopher response. yes, he publicly admitted his regret for this steep, roberson says, the best patent usa never had was bobby kennedy. william thorburn says, bernie sanders would have made a huge difference to the usc and finally travail warden says, we know that tony is still fighting unsuccessfully to save his reputation. now in the scottish parliament reconvened in 1999, the newly elected parliamentarians were and by the out of stock receives college and royalty, assembled a route to c

he made his deal with the doubles with bernie sanders, the aoc. the socialist. while our he said absolutely correct. he is losing the heart and soul of the democratic party. hispanics and blacks are questioning him. his numbers with hispanics are down. hispanics are more leaning toward republicans. blacks are down in numbers. it is the base of the democratic party. the democratic party has already used joe biden. he is useless to them now so they are looking for someone else. now they are going to cast them aside. joe biden right now is a no man's land. nobody wants joe biden right now. >> sean: already, you are brought in. already, how do we turn the ship around? they are not going to listen to you but if they ever did, what would you say? >> you turn it around and any hope for an economic recovery. but the way you turn it around on it is you start to govern. and like i said, get joe manchin's vote. you govern in a way they can get joe manchin to vote for your policies and if you do, you will probably pick up ten or 15 republicans. you will lose ten or 15 -- th

we will also have remarks from senators rafael warnock and bernie sanders. >> is changing the senate rule a radical idea? oh, my god, first time in history we are about to do it. never been done before. well, not quite. amy: all that and more, coming welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. democrats have failed in their bid to change senate rules in order to pass major voting rights legislation. on wednesday evening, democrats joe manchin and kyrsten sinema joined all 50 republican senators in voting "no" on a change to the filibuster that would have allowed the voting rights measure to move forward with a simple majority. it was the fifth time this session republicans have successfully used the filibuster to block voting rights legislation. that capped hours of debate wednesday that saw some democrats compare gop-led voter suppression efforts to racial discrimination under jim crow. this is georgia democratic senator raphael warnock, one of just three african americans in the senate. >> history is watching us. our children are counting

not one republican said it was bernie sanders' fault. so when democrats say that and fauci is a democrat partisan, he's trying to deflect. what i was asking him about is this. he says he's science and if you question him or oppose him, you're opposing science. this kind of arrogance also led him and dr. collins to say that they would take a take-down of three epidemiologists that start the great barrington declaration. they're from stanford, harvard and oxford. they called them fringe, a take-down campaign in the lay media and so he didn't want to answer my questions. so he accuses me of fomenting violence. it's a misdirection. he doesn't want to accept that he's a political animal and that everything he does every day is to further his political agenda, not the science. >> martha: he's obviously under pressure. i think that it has been politicized. there's people that are pro fauci and against fauci. at one point you said to him you are the person that is more responsible for the deaths in this country than anyone else. you think that's
