a out from big pharma elizabeth warren. >> what has bernie sanders done for my health for my kids? >> moved to vermont and have a conversation with bernie sanders can deliver but don't be dishonest about it. this felt like the first hearing to me where the senators were 99% of them took it seriously and they had real questions but that's because the range of awfulness or insanity on display and rfk junior is so broad. everything from anti- vaccine which loves to deny they had him on tape over and over again on podcast, rafael warnock repeating him and lyme disease is material engineered by a weapon, pesticide turning your kids trans -- he can say whatever he wants today but he's on record having said these things. elizabeth warren i get, the town got high-pitched what she's talking about the "wall street journal" who did a big piece, he's been referring clients to the law firm making millions of dollars off of payroll suing vaccine and drugmakers. we all know how important vaccines are mitch mcconnell, who will see what he does, he had polio, the about vaccines leading to autism, i

vermont independent bernie sanders, and the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee republican brian mast. on the good news front, american keith siegel has a happy family reunion following his release from hamas captivity. it's all just ahead on "face the nation." >>> good morning. welcome to "face the nation." one of the president's biggest campaign promises was to enact steep tariffs on canada, mexico and china. saturday night he did just that and the move has already sparked international backlash and sent chills through the financial world. we begin with senior white house and political correspondent ed o'keefe traveling wsecretary of state marco rubio. >> reporter: the president using a 1977 law to suggest there is now an extraordinary threat from fentanyl and legal im frags and all three countries are failing to address those challenges. starting tuesday there will be 25% tariffs on all mexican exports. 25% tariffs on most canadian exports. 10% tariffs on canadian energy exports. 10% tariffs on all goods from china. this morning the president acknowledged this could lead

and i think ironically bernie sanders bottomed out at $26. but that is really what it was.am the $27. but can you imagine the meeting? >> greg: the ones he! >> some shirtless stuff with him holding birds? no. show it to him, johnson. >> i don't know. >> show it to him. we have onesies, sir. that is what we will go with. >> greg: kat, i couldn't help but i was watching looking at cheryl heim in the back there. >> of course. >> greg: very stunning woman looking at the back of her husband. >> that is what i was thinking the whole time because let's be real i'm sorry let's be real, rfk jr. has said some truly insane to [bleep] before okay? that is exactly why his wife is so hot. the guy who will say some wild like throw caution to the wind and willing to say wild stuff to you that defies logic and reason that? will win over a better looking more boring guy. >> greg: the bad boy. >> the wild boy that is why she is so hot. look at all the stuff that is so crazy that he said and people still want this guy over the institutions because of how badly you [bleep] up. >> greg: exactly.

>> no as you heard with bernie sanders he refused to acknowledge that vaccines do not cause autism.repeatedly asked about that during the hearings and other safety effects he said oh well, i will look at the science it was basically a deflection very slippery similar to what we've seen with anthony fauci. in my view he is the flip side of anthony faucher he wanted me too put the data to surf his own purposes and for which a case, and we can get into this to help us trial lawyer friends to shake on the drugmakers and vaccine makers. paul: went to ask you about that. he was on the take a basically. he gets feeds from referrals to trial lawyers for a lot of his-that's how he makes his money he had first said i am not going to stop that went i am at hhs when you have the power at hhs to really help them. how would he be able to help limit hhs cluster. >> there are many ways. elizelizabeth warren a fellow fd of the trial lawyers pointed them out. for instance he could add injury to the injury compensation list for special national injury compensation program. he could also remove vaccine

this is what we did on the bernie sanders presidential campaign.is what we did when i ran the aclu during the first trump years. this is what i'm doing now in building a media organization called more perfect union. the opportunity is there for the dnc if you choose it. when we boost our grassroots donation programs, the state parties are going to see both more funding and more engagement. that will help us win more elections. i want to add that i strongly believe in being a good steward of money. at the aclu and the bernie sanders campaign, we raised hundreds of millions of dollars. i jumped into the race and i did not start a pac i. couldn't take money from working-class people, throw trinkets and happy hours. i don't want to be corrupted by money before i walk in the door. i don't want it setting strategy for us. we will raise tons of grassroots money when i'm chair. if we are clear ride and strategic and operate with integrity, we will come out of the trump era more strong. i don't believe the people in this country want to witness a president

saw the way, you know, they essentially made it impossible for me without that corporate money. bernie sanders would have run against drop the 1st time around. and i believe we would want, but they destroyed it. they destroyed that possibility. so are you hopeful that we're close to that moment? are we on the precipice of a radical moment of resistance that we in the verge of toppling power? no, because the left has been so decimated, so we don't have the left we have in the thirty's. europe went one way fascist. we went another way, which was kweisi socialist. but our left has been so decimated and destroyed. i fear that we don't have the forces of resistance that can, you know, create the kind of space and socially quality and liberty that is, is, should be fundamental to an open society. so no, i'm actually very pessimistic. however, um, you know, that's where i fall back on my religious tradition where it doesn't matter. i mean, you come out of the black prophetic tradition, you know, boy, if anybody understood the world around them and the forces against them, it works because the, the, y

bernie sanders has proven that you can do this on small donations.n we become the people's party again, when we align our own ethics with what we say we believe in, when people can see that we are talking about things like universal care and a majority of republicans as well as democrats want it, when we are talking about the $50 trillion transfer of wealth over the last 50 years, the fact that our system is rigged in the favor of a few so they can get rich at the expense of everybody else, we won't even have to be begging from berliners. so many people will be throwing their lunch money -- including a few good bllionaires. >> one thing that has been raised is and -- it is the need for change. in the weeks after the election, david c. said republicans coordinate more with super pac's and democrats need to stop playing by a different set of rules. there were limitations by lawyers who limited this, and this is something a number of candidates running for office complained about. do you agree with that? >> the demise of power within the democratic part

it's the most surprising cold-weather inauguration look since 2020, when bernie sanders wore those mittens nothing else. looks good. we've got to say he looks pretty good. melania trump made a real statement with her look. that statement? i am carmen sandiego. that's the first reaction. that's the first reaction obviously but that's not entirely fair. she also looks like the guy from "spy vs. spy." and i know what some of you're are saying, "this is the first lady we're talking about. shouldn't you say she looks like j. robert oppenheimer?" it's much more fair especially given her motto "be death." when our new president finally entered the rotunda, he immediately tried to kiss his wife and oops! denied by the hat! big. [cheers and applause] it serves the same sanitary function as the sneeze guard on a salad bar. new york tenor christopher macchio sang the national anthem and then was named "secretary of gettin' you a nice table in the corner." then trump was sworn in by chief justice roberts. one problem: trump did not place his hand on the bible for the oath of office. when the ceremony

tad: i will say that, 2016, when i worked with bernie sanders and we were trying to figure out a frame, bernie basically wanted to talk for an hour and 15 minutes to everybody in the country. i asked a pollster from california, you know, we were talking it through, and bernie was talking about a rigged economy and campaign-finance system. i suggested -- because in these campaigns, you have to make an ad. i suggested, we should test "rigged economy held in place by a corrupt campaign-finance system." it did well in iowa and new hampshire and that's what we began to focus on. i've it would work in the next campaign. the same audience is still waiting for someone who can deliver that message and deliver on it. mike, you are one of the leading experts on this in america. biden won latino men by 23 points in 2020. in 2024, trump won latino men by 10 points. hillary won latino women by 44 points in 2016. harris by 19 points. what happened and why? mike: get comfortable because it is a long story. fascinating to be a republican on stage helping the prognosis. my career trajectory probably lea

it used to be, you would think that that a guy like bernie sanders or elizabeth warren would with likeim to be anti-establishment themselves until rfk comes before them, and then they freak out and lose their minds if especially when r, the if k points out they get all this money from big pharma. but democrats are completely lost right now. they had their, they had their annual meeting in which they selected a new dnc chair, ken martin. what i thought was interesting about this is they went with ken martin over the strenuous objections of the leaders in tht they have left right now like chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries. they -- and out just underscores how completely lost -- rachel: what do we know about this guy? charlie: he's -- [laughter] another white guy, kind of interesting. after shoving dei down our throats and telling us we're all racist, it turns out that the answer is yet again another white guy, unimpressive white guy from minnesota who has absolutely no original ideas. he is -- they're not changing, they're not getting -- learning any lessons that all the rest of us is ha

dsa lots and lots of people who had never thought about or heard of democratic socialism when bernie sanders said, i'm democratic socialist and they agreed with what he was saying about contemporary american society and political proposals, google democratic socialism. and they they found dsa, his web site. and so they poured in and tens of thousands but institutional memory of dsa had been founded to be which was the left wing of the possible and michael harrington's phrase that got lost and so i don't know how you both remain open growth and and you know this is not your sds dsa which it shouldn't be our but also keep some core values a kind core commitment in the case of both sd and dsa, their origins to to democracy, i mean, the word democracy in in the titles, organizations and that's that's gotten obscured. i, i could solve that dilemma, but very good question. can you solve it in the back there. yes. yes, you have kind of amorphous question. i don't know if it'll come out right, but i have this stereotype of, i think marxist. i think of academics arguing each other and theory, theory,

a much better, i thought, than bernie sanders, who got all red in the face and started sort of spittle flying absolutely everywhere. i thought cassidy did a forensic job of taking his arguments apart one by one. we know he's a terrible influence on the science of medicine and of vaccines, and it's extraordinary that he's been nominated. but i think the biggest critic was his cousin, caroline kennedy, who never says anything about being a kennedy, but who released a video on instagram saying that, you know, he had a life of cheating, of lying, of having second chances given to him. and this is what he's done. >> with it. called him a predator. >> she called him a predator. and she talked about how he put live mice and birds into a magimix to create his own smoothie. >> for his falcons. i don't even know. what that was. the nice part. >> i think of that thing. >> i'm waiting for him. >> to start. >> marketing it. as a health drink. >> tulsi gabbard. i mean, she's also facing some resistance for a whole host of reasons. in some ways, i almost think it's easier for republicans on these two
