national four day workweek is something senator bernie sanders pushed for and sanders prophoseed a 32ed this specific plan to institute that here on capitol hill, he spoke in support of the general idea to me yesterday. >> we're seeing huge advances in administered official intelligence and technology at a time when 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, i want to see those advances in technology that make you a more productive work of benefiting you and not just billionaires. one way we can do that is move to a 32-hour workweek without loss of pay. thank you very much. reporter: how would businesses afford that hire someone to work the extra day? reporter: it's the day their staff is not working. stuart. stuart: we noticed he didn't want to talk about that. hillary, thank you very much indeed. gnat torr marsha blackburn, republican from the state of tennessee. what do you make of a 32-hour workweek for federal workers? think that's a good idea, senator? >> stuart, i think if they had a zero-hour workweek and never even came into work, they wouldn't be able to push some of

and, essentially, we know what bernie sanders has stood for through the years.tually has has a plan, he does a little road map on places in the trump agenda where he agrees with trump, and then he's got some red lines on things he will not go for. and so, essentially, it's the game plan for a lot of democrats. ainsley: so let's start with what he will work with trump to do. he says i look forward to working with president trump on legislation that would end the absurdity of americans paying by far the highest price in the world for prescription drugs. brian: good. ainsley: president trump stated he wants to cap credit card interest rates at 10%, he's right. i will soon be introducing bipartisan legislation to protect americans from being ripped off by the credit card industry and look forward to his support. i look forward to working with the trump administration if on new trade policies that will protect american workers and create good paying jobs in our country. brian: so what he won't work with him on is he wants the raise minimum wage, and scott bessent doe

here for a moment to a bernie sanders speech. it resonates like that. why is joe biden putting this message out now? and as senator whitehouse pointed out, was it a mistake to not run his white house with this message in full force? >> well, reality has a well-known progressive populist bias here. >> i mean, so we are obviously living in the midst of great income and wealth inequality, and we're kind of slowly slipping into an abyss where it's slapping everyone across the face and you can't ignore it. obviously, bernie sanders ran in 2015, 2016 calling on exactly this problem and wanting us to address it. the sad part for me is that there are actually a lot of instances in which you saw this biden administration taking uniquely bold action against, you know, amazon, when you think of why zuckerberg, quite frankly, is upset with the biden administration because they launched a lawsuit against him to break up the monopoly of facebook. now, i ask you, how many people know that? you know, when you look at elon musk, he's very angry a

elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, that whole socials gain in washington, they've taken over the democrat party and they will not stop until america bins to their every demand, and everything that has made our country great is destroyed. this is the fight of our generation and this is why i'm here. i'm kelly loeffler took this is why. this is what i believe. as an outsider to washington i know i have to prove it to earn your trust and your support through my votes, through my priorities and my actions. and that's exactly what i'm going to do. thank you. may god bless georgia and may god bless america. [applause] >> we will take a couple questions if anybody got him. period. [inaudible question] >> absolutely will be running in november and here's why. you just heard that i'm a defend of the american dream and the american ideals. i want to fight socialism side-by-side with president trump. [inaudible question] >> no second thoughts at all. look, i'm here on the conviction of my belief in the greatest american want to protect that. i'm going to fight very hard not just for georgians for am

vermont senator bernie sanders meanwhile reaching across the aisle as well, saying look, i'm ready toth the president-elect to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. sanders writing, quote, donald trump proposed a 10% cap on credit card interest rates. great idea. let's see if he supports the legislation that i will introduce to do just that. end quote. so the average credit card interest rate is now over 24% so he wants to more than cut it in half with americans holding $1.17 trillion in debt as of last year. cheryl: yeah. john, what do you make of these numbers. they're astounding. >> yes, they are. and i think it's interesting. sanders of course is a socialist and note that a lot of the trump voters support came from pop lifts and there isn't much of a difference between a socialist and populist when it comes to economics so it's interesting. if we follow populism, i would look for faster wage growth relative to the overall economy. that meanings profit margins will be squeezed at some point in the future and pe multiples will look all the more unsustainable. cheryl: i think it's i

. >> she's going viral how she acted toward bernie sanders yesterday while swearing him a and. >> standardt a try. >> sanders has been vocal on why she lost the white house. you might remember how he railed against democrats being out of touch and abandoning the working class. >> the working class of this country is angry and they have a reason to be angry. when you have millions of people working, you got to speak. that man, donald trump did you is he says i feel your pain. i know you are hurting and i have an explanation. >> he didn't exactly seem to appreciate the vice president's joke. >> nor should he and he's right. after all, this is the party of elites. [laughter] a party of the richest 1%, the party of coastal cities. they used to be the party of the working man and working woman, being able to relate to union members and this is like pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin this time, teamsters wouldn't endorse kamala harris rank-and-file, u.s. steel and auto workers, restaurant worke workers, they went for donald trump so what donald trump has done is he's taking the coalition that

said to me i have never heard but i expect bernie sanders if nothing else is sincere.he socialists they will say work last, get paid more. we will blame rich people for running things. should there be -- when people talk about the disparity between the ceos and workers, you can take a look at that. go ahead and take a look at it. >> sandra: i knew you would get to that point. >> the guys making $40 million over the woman making $40 million and then others making $18 an hour. bernie sanders said that is not right so let's work last instead of saying i want to be the ceo. >> sandra: it is interesting bernie sanders and elizabeth warren for a conversation because this was her take. okay, i will tell you what she said. >> that is better. >> sandra: she said 32 hour work week is a terrible idea but i understand most of my staff haven't seen a 40 32-hour workweek because they work for the american people hour after hour after hour. they deliver from their hearts, she says and i'm grateful for that. hillary vaughn, is at a bad idea? elizabeth warren said, "i have got to go."

and you hang out with elon musk and bernie sanders, two of the worst people i think.lso you are talking about fair housing. well, my house i have been it -- been in it for 35 years. i do not go out there spending money on anything. i am on vaccines and i've been taking them since i am 60 years old and i am 75. you can get all of these other things but if you think that any of us, especially black and brown people are going to believe what you are talking about, you have things all wrong. your grandfather and your uncle, sammy davis jr. got out and just wanted to get your uncle in office and what does he do? he would not allow them and your grandfather or your uncle to come to the inauguration ball. i do not believe that you will do anything right and quit telling people and handing them out -- and giving them not a handout. host: thank you. guest: in defense of my grandfather, you know, my grandfather has been maligned in many ways. i have written a book that addresses those issues including this defamation which is utterly untrue that he was a bootlegger. during -- a

but first, we'll talk to senator bernie sanders. we want to get his take on all this and about his notable exchange today, trying to get an increase to the federal minimum wage. and cnn's phil mattingly, just back from the panama canal, one of the most crucial waterways in the world. the response he heard there after president-elect trump did not rule out the use of military force to take control of it. a man, a plan, a canal. panama. coming up. >> prilosec. nose for a fire. one fire extinguisher beats ten buckets of water. and for zero heartburn. one prilosec a day beats taking up to ten antacids a day. it's that simple. for 24 hour heartburn relief one. beats ten. prilosec otc. >> at this very moment, children at saint jude are fighting to survive with a gift. right now, you can join the battle to save lives without saint jude. >> i don't know where we would be. they have given children with cancer like my winston a chance. >> she has neuroblastoma and it has spread to her liver. i try to enjoy every minute with her because i do n

bernie sanders. peter is committed to figure out how to get back to some symbols of regular order and you will be a driving force on the democratic side of how do we bring in minutes we truly believe will improve the bill and how do we get back to working to get a more productive way. >> we running out of time. one important follow-up question. question. i couldn't help but notice when the ap top 25 college basketball poll came out this week that auburn number one and alabama number four. some straight talk. is alabama not a basque bostick? >> we are going on that for a little bit for sure. we're going to regroup on the football side and right now we are focused on basketball season. >> you're going to regroup. katie britt, thanks to you all. thank you very much. thank you, guys.

preparations for confirmation hearings begin to take shape multiparking lot sources say that bernie sandersn fetterman in particular are at least considering voting for kennedy noting shared critiques on heavy corporate influence over food and a desire to promote a less chemical laden country bernie will give him a fair review said one source close to the senators office. what do you guys think? >> it is interesting when you stop and think about two renegades two rare renegades in the democrat party. whatever you think of bernie sanders, he's also a total communist. but there are at least renegades within the party and it -- underscores how much the rest of the democrat party has become the party of corporations. and completely beholdened to the corpses that sadly our government agencies have been corrupted into more supporting than overseeing and trying to -- guy: although i would say a word of caution from a conservative perspective rfk jr. whatever you think of especially on health related issues he's single payer government run health care like bernie sanders. he's also not pro-life on

you just lumped yourself with bernie sanders. i get it. um, i just wish. i wish we had that third party. i wish we i. i wish that you could. you feel confident that that that you're strong enough in your campaign, in your beliefs, that you could run on an independent because that is what you you are definitely in my book or any of my democratic or friends book, a democrat your conspiracy theories they they literally scare us we just came out four years of you know full of of trump's lies and his conspire theories in this country. you claim that you want to heal as a nation and our and this is not i mean the way we fight causes cancer and 5g is is mass surveillance and chemicals in our water cause transgender and and anti depressants, cause school shootings. i, i, i'm so confused. and so i'm looking for clarity from you today, mr. kennedy. okay, jaron, thank you for. the call you laid out a lot of things. we'll let mr. sharon yeah, sure. and thanks for questions. i you know, i you go down the checklist of the things that my father believed in, that robert k

here's senator bernie sanders pressing that man scott percent about the new american oligarchy.e're moving toward an oligarchy. i'm asking you that question. do you think? forget how they made their money? do you think that when so few people have so much wealth and so much economic and political power, that that is an oligarchic form of society? well, i would note that the president biden gave the presidential medal of freedom to two people who i think would qualify for his oligarchs. i'm just asking you, with so few people have so much wealth and power, but do you think that that is an oligarchic form of society? senator, i think it depends on the, the ability to move up and down the income. no, that's not really the answer. joining us now, betsey stevenson, an economist and professor at the university of michigan, she served as the chief economist of the u.s. department of labor under president obama from 2010 to 2011. also with us is the bishop william j. barber. he's the president of repairers of the breach and the co-chair of the poor people's campaign. he's the founding d

lauren: bernie sanders aligned with donald trump to interest rates at 10%. is is what senator sanders writes on x, donald trump proposed a 10% cap on credit card interest rates. great idea. let's see if he supports the legislation that i will introduce to do just that. americans are carrying incredibly high credit balances and the cost of paying interests are high, the average credit card rate is now over 24%. with americans holding one. $2 trillion in debt in debt for 2024. this christmas, you are paying off last christmas's that. not a good situation. ashley: i want to get to this. how did donald trump respond to critics who say he changed his mind on h one b visas? lauren: he fired back on them but a clip that comes from new year's eve when he took reporter questions at his own new year's party. watch here. >> the most confident people in our country. we need confident people. we need smart people coming into our country. a lot of people with jobs like we have never had before. lauren: this issue has pitted some businessmen and advisors like elon musk and

senator bernie sanders went after billionaires on both sides of the aisle. superrich are part of the current political system that creates oligarchs. mr. sanders explains. >> there is no debate, we've seen a lot of money from billionaires. this campaign what we saw is fewer billionaires like musk and others contributing a huge amount of money, democrats had more billionaires contribute in less but that is a corrupt campaign finance system. you get one vote. a billionaire can spend hundreds of millions of dollars electing candidates they want which that's not democracy. that is part of oligarchy. people with that much money should not have that much power in a democracy. that's the issue. ashley: sanders claims wealth inequality in the us will get worse under trump and a republican-controlled congress with more tax cuts for the ultrarich and large corporations. sanders, who owns three homes with a net worth of $2 million, who knows? may be he will prosper under donald trump as well. stuart: thanks, trump brought back, listen to this, brought back the diet cok

my lead source tonight is the independent senator from vermont, senator bernie sanders. and it's great to have you here. senator sanders, you were there at the inauguration speech yesterday out of the first 24 hours of the trump presidency. has anything surprised you? >> no. i think in terms of the speech, i suppose if you're a trump supporter, you thought it was good. if you're a trump opponent, as i am, you did not think it was good. but i think the main point that kind of you inferred to that a second ago, and we're going to see a whole lot of stuff every single day. you're going to see all kinds of stuff, but it is terribly important, in my view, for the american people to stay focused on the most important issues facing our country. all right. for example, very few people deny deny that our health care system is broken. it is dysfunctional, and it is outrageously expensive. did the president, in his inaugural speech, say one word about the health care crisis in america today? we have a major housing crisis, not just 800,000 people who are homeless, millions of people

energy dominance, a busy day for bernie sanders who also sits on committee environment, he grilled lee zeldin over climate change. >> can i have your world right -- word that you will work with me to make sure solar for all program is implemented. >> i know this is a priority for you, solar power -- >> sorry. >> that's okay. >> almost saved by the bell. >> that was the fossil fuel industry. [ laughter ] reporter: you said it, it was a smooth day overall to quote senator steve daines, trump's nominees so far seem to be batting .1000. larry: thank you grady trimble. we web t trey yingst . >> there was a cease-fire agreement in place at this time yesterday. but this morning we woke up to a statement from israel prime minister netanyahu saying that hamas went back on their terms in the agreement, hamas denied it, we got more information about political infighting here in israel, tonight, israel's national security minister. threatened to resign from his position in the coalition take 7 seats with him if the deal moves forward, it appears that deal will move forward, and he will resign it w

. >> so that was senator bernie sanders and treasury secretary pick scott bessent clashing during theg what biden calling an oligarchy issue in the united states. welcome back to "worldwide exchange." i'm holland.frank holland. coming up, more on the matter and the interest that are fuelling close ties to the incoming trump administration. >>> first, we kick off this hour with the check of the stock futures of the major averages. s&p 500 and dow breaking three-day win treaks. in the green right now. the dow would open up over 100 points higher. nasdaq up almost 90 points as well. let's look at the gainers. micro strategy moving more than 3.5% higher. followed by lam research and asml holdings and applied materials and broadcom. we saw a broadening in the market yesterday in tech. utilities rose more than 2.5%. tech falling more than 1%. speaking of the broadening, we saw the s&p equal weight close higher in the market. the s&p equal weight closing almost 1% higher. dow transports closing almost 1% higher speaking to the broadening. one factor we may see going forward is the easing of

program there is also some -- i shouldn't say across the aisle, but from independent senator bernie sandersho said elon musk is wrong. the main function of the h-1b visa program is not to hire "the best and the brightest, but rather to replace good paying american jobs with low wage servants from abroad. the cheaper labor they higher, the more money the billionaires make. your thoughts on that as well. guest: they are not indentured. they're obvious the highly paid workers. you look at their median income or median wage for an h-1b worker is about $120,000 a year. this is the 90th percentile. they are higher paid than about 90% of workers in the united states. and so it's inaccurate to call them low-wage. if the purpose of the visa was to cut labor costs and replace american workers, you would see the h-1b request increase when unemployment goes up. we see the opposite braid h-1b requests go down when unemployment increases. in 2009 and 2010 there wasn't even a lottery to allocate the visas because demand went way down during the great recession. it increased again after that as unemploymen

watched when he tried to run for president of the induced the same tactics as they used against bernie sanderspendent and came to realize personal ambitions aside. a child has joined into this great alignment. we saw it this past week regarding the resolution. our problem today, the establishment republicans who do not have the guts for america. [cheering] a man who'd never been in politics, an entrepreneur, a businessman creating jobs for people to sign on the roof of his fauci and he said vote for trump, the largest in the united states. they sought to put him in jail for exercising his first amendment rights. he is now awake and the fight anthony to vacate by a lease the fall like. anthony, stand up. i ask you to do one important thing. pray for the safety of our president's family, pray for the safety of those is called on to serve him. have experienced will devote miracles after i was given presidential pardon and my wife was diagnosed with aggression stage for aggression he answered. three and a half years cancer free. [cheering] richard nixon said a man is not finished, the only finishe

bernie sanders said this on an op-ed talking about the trump effect.his is his plan to work with trump. he says i look forward to working with the president. president trump on legislation that would end the absurd at this of americans paying by far the highest price in the world for prescription drugs. president trump stated he wants to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. he's right. i look forward to working with the trump administration on the policies that will protect american workers and create good paying jobs for our country. what's your thoughts on that. >> i think there will be agreement with bernie sanders, no tax on tips or social security or no tax on overtime. as a former blue collar worker, those are things i would love to have had in my life, right. i worked in the service industry. i worked in the construction industry. i worked a lot of overtime. way more than steve doocy ever did. >> i was a roofer. >> and relied on tips. >> and i relied on tips and it means so much to people. i would argue that's why donald trump won in nevada. >

and that's why the elizabeth warren and bernie sanders are going after them.hey are not going to miss -- >> lawrence: i do like setting a climate for the business community where they can actually pay their customers -- i'm sorry their employees more. right now they can't afford to. they are barely keeping the lights on right now. they can't afford to give actual money to employees. >> brian: goldman sachs $39 million as his bonus. evidently everyone at goldman sachs got less than they ever did before. to me fundamentally not that the people at goldman saks are hurting but you walk in not making an a lot of money as entry level salary if you are pulling the same way. ceo i'm not taking $39 million and cutting my workforce a smaller check. i'm just not doing it. >> steve: do you know where goldman sachs is moving one of their main financial hubs? dallas, texas. >> brian: there did you go. >> ainsley: tax free state. >> steve: coming up. >> brian: that was steve's voice intone nation i should read. president trump is calling on republicans to stand united in flo

made sure that bernie sanders had no chance of winning. they rigged their primary for her.y have been screaming about democracy while not having any kind of actual debate. i mean, robert f.k. jr. wanted to run against joe biden. they sued him off a number of ballots. that's not democratic. when it comes to people waking up. it was an easy comparison between trump's first four years and joe biden's last four years. and it goes back to the old ronald reagan saying are you better off today that unwere four years ago? and the biden administration and the biden policies were so detrimental to americans and harmful both domestically and in terms of foreign policy that people just said i don't like what's been happening the last four years. trump was great. i was lied to by the media and everything that happening and experience under this administration speaks for itself. >> ainsley: thank you some trump's treasury pick laying out plans for an economic golden age and stuart varney is going to talk to us about that, next. ♪ dollars, dollars is what i need ♪ i need the dollars, doll

for president as a democrat where they used the same tactics against him as they did against bernie sanders and ham strung by lawfare when he sought to seek the presidency as independent and who then came to realize that it was best to put his personal ambitiouses aside and because he's opposed to war and because he believes in free speech and because he wants to make america healthy again and deal with the issue of child disease, has joined into this great alignment. this is a new team of reform. [ applause ] >> but, let's be clear because we saw this past week regarding the continuing resolution in the congress pertaining to our financing. our problem today are not the socialist screw ball marxist democrats. our problem today are the weak kneed, gutless, feckless, lily livered, white wine swarming, establishment republicans that have neither the guts nor the balls to fight for america. [ cheering ] a man who'd never been in politics, an entrepreneur, a businessman creating jobs for people to he put a sign on the roof of his factory that said vote for trump. it was the largest sign in the

. >> well, bernie sanders in a, in a podcast interview said something similar, but he laid the feat of the communications issues not at the white house, but at the president that president biden just doesn't have the skills as a leader. >> i'm paraphrasing now to to explain what he did. how do you see it? >> you know, i think some of that is like so many things about joe biden wrapped up with age that he just wasn't the person that we saw on camera 20 years ago, and that matters in the end. it almost matters more than we understood or he understood at the talking about a shining city on the hill. eisenhower talked about the military industrial complex as a rising problem in american life. how is joe biden going to characterize this era? does he call it a winter of peril from which he has pulled us? or does he acknowledge in some ways more of the distress that he leaves behind? >> we're running out of time before he comes out. i want to get both you and dan scott your thoughts. do you think the president elect trump deserves more of the credit for the hostage deal than president biden?

> liz had a large number of people turnout to vote this year so new borders between trump and bernie sanders on both parties but unfortunately republican party, state-by-state domineering in the state legislation, they tighten up the vote, a very complicated acquisition discriminated against and people have never had a driver's license and people and nursing homes, they don't own automobiles so still see a deliberate move for those not likely to vote. when i was governor of georgia there is a wide move throughout the country to increase the number of people who voted. it was very interesting and everyone to be a voting registrar, it was head of the body and i would have a contest is government and see who could register the most who could vote at the age of 18. when i got to the white house and they did the same thing, i found it was impossible. a liberal democrat came to me and said you will not be successful because neither democrats nor republicans would open up the rights to vote because they are in office because qualified voters put them there. they let voting be open and free and univ

and bernie sanders, i think, our colleague, hillary vaughan got him on capitol hill yesterday and said well, you know, you talk about this oligarchy, do you not care about george soros and alex soros giving so much money to democrats? admit that it's a problem for both parties. bernie sanders, nothing, if not consistent. >> steve: you are right about that. >> lawrence: other news before we let you go because we know you are in front of the white house. is the exception for more of the nominees to be confirmed by the weekend? i know you probably saw john thune's comments which i think really seat red line. either can you do this the easy ware 00 hard way. either do it do you the week or i will make you stay this weekend. >> yeah, i mean, they have been very clear that there is no cause to delay this. and i think that if they don't get it done by the end of the week, they will be kept over in a weekend session. we are also hearing some announcements for next week for some of those confirmation hearings. i believe kash patel is among them. within the next week or two should be significant

the other thing, it's interesting to see bernie sanders and steve bannon both use the word indentured. but what i i would like to sas that these workers are dependent on their employers to staying in this country. and whatever their salaries may be, the corporate culture may be one of fealty and one of compliance in one of less critical. particularly in fields of technology that critical thinking and debate of empirical evidence is very important so that having a workforce dominated by people on these visas might lead to a less efficient and less effective technology sector which would be terrible. something like the schedule f that's being proposed by russell vought for -- >> host: you've raise a couple interesting points. what to make sure i guess can respond. go ahead and tragic the cato institute spent the cato institute for our entire existence. we've never been the charles koch foundation or institute. charles koch was one of our founders so obviously there is a connection there, he's a member, he was a member of our board is a member of our board but that's not an accurate desc

so to bernie sanders, question to his question. yes, this is an example of the very thing in front of us that this oligarchy is being built in front of us. it is now well positioned on the white house complex, right literally next door to the white house. and elon musk will have access every day in and out of that complex, given the billions of dollars of contracts that he has running doge, not examining his own contracts, but doing the bidding of donald trump and himself, what are we to make of this, suzanne? how how do you explain that to the american people? >> well, that's a big question. >> you know, you just it's just another level of access. i mean, when you think about where he is going to be positioned, i mean, unfettered access. he is the rich on most lists in america. he's the richest man in america since the election. you know, his his net worth has only gone up. and now all these other people have come to the forefront in one way or another. not only is he going to have that office, they are all going to be on the dias

at the farewell address, donald trump's based on his confirmation hearing against bernie sanders. >>top, mr. musk, mr. zuckerberg now worth almost a trillion dollars, would you agree with president biden who last night stated, and i quote, an oligarchy is taking shape in america, the three billionaires you listed that made the money themselves. >> forget how they made their money, you think when so few people have so much wealth and economic and political power that that is an oligarchy? >> i would note that president biden gave the presidential medal of freedom to do people i think would qualify for his oligarchs. >> speaking of qualifying for oligarchs, an hour ago president biden was seen outside the west wing of the white house giving it to her to illinois governor j.d., $3.7 billion is family owned hyatt hotels before biden popped out being day here at the white house and furniture coming and going. president biden departs monday he will leave according to the "wall street journal" the diminished damaged figure and party zone image deeply tarnished. 12% of voters that he would b

. >> well, bernie sanders, in a, in a podcast interview said something similar, but he laid the feet of the communications issues not at the white house, but at the president that president biden just doesn't have the skills as a leader. i'm paraphrasing now to to explain what he did. how do you see it? you know, i think some of that is like so many things about joe biden wrapped up with age, that he just wasn't the person that we saw on camera 20 years ago, and that matters in the end. it almost matters more than we understood or he understood at the beginning. you turn the sound off. what you see on tv registers with voters. i'll tell you, though, that as we think about his legacy and sort of what he will leave people with tonight, i'm listening for language. you know, there's always in a farewell address. it's often a little phrase that stays with you. ronald reagan talking about a shining city on the hill. eisenhower talked about the military industrial complex as a rising problem in american life. how is joe biden going to characterize this era? does he call it a winter of peril

joe biden is three decades behind bernie sanders, although, look -- i know, you guys. [ cheers and applause's hard to tell because bernie looks the exact same. [ laughter ] the only reason he looks a little older now is because tvs got better. [ light laughter ] there are two ways of never aging. you can start young and stay young like paul rudd, or you can start old and stay old like bernie. [ light laughter ] he was able to buy alcohol when he was 16 because his i.d. in high school looked like this. [ laughter ] and, look, i appreciate the warning from biden, but it would have been nice if democrats had maybe tried talking about this during the campaign when people were paying attention. it might have been a powerful message. now biden's on his way out, and suddenly he's full of ideas. >> we need to get dark money -- that's that hidden funding behind too many campaigns contributions -- we need to get it out of our politics. we need to enact an 18-year time limit -- term limit -- time and term -- for the strongest ethics refo -- and the strongest ethics reforms for our supreme court. we ne

watched when he tried to run for president of the induced the same tactics as they used against bernie sandersand came to realize personal ambitions aside. a child has joined into this great alignment. we saw it this past week regarding the resolution. our problem today are not the socialist screwball marxist democrats. our problem today are the weak-kneed, gutless, feckless, lily livered, white wine swelling, briebl cheese eating, establishment republicans who have neither t the gats nor the balls to fight for america. my friends, one man can make a difference. one person can make a difference. i point out to you today with us a man who would never been in politics. he was an entrepreneur, a businessman concerned about creating jobs but then he put a sign on the roof of his factory in new amsterdam, new york, that said though for trump. it was of the largest sign in the united states to say so, , d the democrat mayor of amsterdam, new york, sought to put him in jail for exercising his first amendment right. he is now awake and then the fight. i refer to anthony constantino who is now seeking

. >> reporter: and vermont senator bernie sanders, despite his many disagreements with trump, says he'srything he's doing. there are things that he said over the years that make sense to me. you want to lower the cost of prescription drugs in america, we'll work with you. >> reporter: for him the art of the deal persists. to a point. >> is trump's transactional nature an up or down? >> i think it's an up. but when you are going to sell out the american working class, which i suspect will be the case very often, we're going to oppose you vigorously. >> reporter: president biden in his farewell address gave democrats a playbook of sorts for how to define trump and his allies. >> an oligarchy is taking shape in america of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy. >> you used the term oligarchs to describe some of the allies of president trump. not a term we often hear in american politics. >> well, you know why i used the word oligarchy, bob? because it's true. >> cbs news will have extensive coverage of the presidential inauguration starting at 9:0

[ cheers ] >> seth: i don't know why everybody's complaining. he was just grabbing his heart and violently throwing it out to the crowd. [ laughter ] in that classic gesture that has no dark historical overtones. but before anyone who rushes to judgment, let's listen to musk defenders. >> the anti-defamation l
