chris bedford is a senior editor at ""the federalist"" and joins us tonight. , thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me. >> tucker: i think most people watching and most people in the country believes there is a federal level to help people. the government told people not to work, seems fair the government would take up some of the slack there. so i think we probably agree on that. but it still worth wondering, where did this money come from? for this bill? >> that's the whole thing, isn't it? the governor is basically going to put a printer to the window and hit print. the money is going to rain. u.s. government prints its own currency, and the only limit to how much currency and wants to print, to the point of bernie sanders and elizabeth warren, is inflation. when you put over $2 trillion into the market, though, we are looking absolutely at having inflation in this country, so at that point, we have really entertain. but it's a con game in the truest sense, the old-fashioned sense, it's a confidence game. everybody looks at each other and says "this wi

chris bedford has been falling g it since day one. federalist.ins us tonight. >> good evening. >> tucker: just in the interest of fairness. you always want to be fair. both sides use crises to push their pre-existing political agendas. do you think it's fair to say that the democratic party attempted to use this bill to promote abortion? >> they are certainly much better than using crises to their advantage than the republicans are in politics here. and, yes, this has held it up. the reporter who broke this, christian day talked to the daily caller gave nancy pelosi's office hours to respond to the accusation from the white house that the hyde amendment in trying to fit abortions in here was holding this up and was a source of -- was a source of holding up the deal with mnuchin with the republicans and with the white house. when time is absolutely of the essence. i can't imagine exactly how getting the public and getting people and getting a nation that he is supposed to be uniting to pay for other people's abortions would possibly save anybody f

david: bring in federalist senior editor, chris bedford. good to see you, chris.losing the blue-collar support. what do you think? >> absolutely. this is not a good show. joe biden as consistently lost his temper recently. the a some level we have politician we like, has bravado, plays well on east coast and not in the midwest. this wasn't that. what seems like a respectful question, all reports since indicate ad respectful question, to get angry, let's go outside, start cursing. cursing is okay. you're on a factory floor, but that doesn't, it doesn't look like a politician is really is in control. david: right. you have the trump factor. the fact, that by the way after the confrontation, some of the workers were chanting trump. some were chanting dump trump. a lot of union workers support some of the stuff donald trump has done as president, including getting tough on trade, doing things to bring companies back home, bringing manufacturing back home. also, the job situation has raised blue-collar workers salaries. more percentagewise than people at the top? >> do

[cheers and applause] dagen: joining me now senior editor at the federalist chris bedford. with buttigieg dropping out and tom steyer. tom was only competing in south carolina but with buttigieg making way for his supporters to maybe get behind joe biden, does that help? >> it does. this is one of the things that joe biden's campaign could have really hoped for with the south carolina hail marys, this was way more impressive than that. pushes other candidates in the moderate lane out and get some momentum going into tomorrow to super tuesday. he got that. i was surprised that mayor pete didn't drop an endorsement in his speech. i thought last night would have been a good opportunity for him to say, i'm going to throw my support behind joe biden, maybe he wants to wait and see. >> chris, kelly torrence here. what do you think people like elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar are still in? elizabeth warren has 8. if he doesn't see a way to win -- i heard about going to a brokered convention. do you think she has any say as a queen maker? >> it's possible that -- kind of becomes

joining us at the federalist chris bedford.n all said and done, we did not see all of the things that nancy pelosi and chuck schumer wanted to put in here like solar panel funding. initially it was abortion funding, all of that did not make it in the bill, chris. >> i mean, tens of millions of dollars for kennedy center. it was a massive, massive add-on since nancy pelosi came back to town on sunday and this entire delay was completely, completely unnecessary. there were some things that schumer was able to negotiate with republicans. between republicans and democrats over the past few days. there was no reason for whole 24 hours of filibuster right now and by yesterday morning it appeared that schumer had realized that there was error to strategy even with all the media cover people have been trying to give him it's not something that the american people want to be held hostage for the activist election campaigning. he's pulling back. now up to nancy pelosi while she signaled she wants to do voice vote which is very strange on
