borshchagovka with some surprise i looked at the blue-yellow badge that i simply left after this constituent congressause it must be said that it was not worn so simply back then and at the movement congress everyone was wearing these badges and from the outside i had the impression that people continue to live in the soviet union , not even in this perestroika moscow, which we are used to , but simply in the ordinary soviet union. at this congress, i felt like a movement. i even called my article the aquarium of freedom at one time. and you were one of those who were activists of this organization yes, i worked on the charter. and what were your hopes in a situation when it was clear that the majority of society did not share my ideas of the independence of the country? he said that i was one of those who worked, he was not the only one. i worked on the charter, which is practically the entire structure of the movement in the future it happened, i worked on this statute in the summer, practically it was he who, in its modified form, was praised by the constituent congress, but in addition to the sta

worked on this statute in the summer, practically it was he who, in its modified form, the constituent congress praised, but in addition to the statute, i am working on some sections of the program e-e that were adopted by the constituent congress, in particular, programs that related to statehood, programs that related to the future legal system or what we then called the legal state, although the communists before gorbachev forbade talking about the legal state at all, and this concept was returned by the communists at their congress, but in the party resolution they called everything the celichov legal state. and before that, starting with lenin, stalin, brezhnev and others it was not possible at all, this word was so, you know how, well, well, the ban was a taboo on the concept of the rule of law, and you said about the atmosphere, i want to say my feelings on that day, those three the days of my own feelings, because this is true. this was the soviet union, the communist party was in power, it was armored personnel carriers around our house of culture, and the polytechnics were surrounded

learned is relevant to the question is senators in congress and members of congress will by and large ask what their constituents they believe want to have asked. if in fact you do not want certain questions, if they are not sensitive to what their constituents want they will not be senators or members of congress for very long. this comes up i would say look, the thing is, you are part of a decision-making process are you soon will be in this country. and so what i think is the strength of the country and what i think that first amendment is therefore and i learned this in the senate to, listen. listen to what other people say. >> does that mean you think today's senators and senators for example who blocked the confirmation of merrick garland back in 2016 would set a tone for the polarizations we are talking about, some are acting in what they believe the constituents want. >> would have to ask them the question. i think senators follow with their constituents want won't be there very long but that's my own opinion. i stress this when i am talking to the students, because i saw senator kennedy do it all the ti

polling shows 75% of the american people believe congress must rein in big tech. our constituentsanted. i expect senator schumer will bring it to the floor. it will be sent to the president's desk. this has been the most pro competition president we have ever had both in his executive order and his administration who understands that competition is at the heart of making our economy work forever. emily: there are concerns that even among democrats the bill can be weaponized to present big tech companies from moderating the most extreme content. does the bill need to change at all? guest: as long as the bill has protections against certain kinds of speech that they think is an appropriate that applies across the board. so long as there is an established standard. these platforms favor their own products and services, collecting an enormous amount of data from consumers. they have no interest in competition. they want to acquire, crush or block competitors. grow their profits. competition is the single greatest driver of innovation. we need to have competition in this space, right n

constituents. >> the committee was once again extended this time through the end of the 117th congress. here we are at long last. i want to make clear that this committee has been part of the plan from day one. it involves focusing on tangible solutions. we have held 37 public hearings and past 171 recommendations. the structure requires bipartisan agreement. we need to think big. we should be open to creative problem-solving and considering ideas that fall outside of our comfort zones. congress is not a static institution. it is supposed to reflect the diversity of this country. new problems demand new solutions. our founding fathers designed a system of government that has lasted over 200 years but if it were perfect, there would be no need for the constitutional amendments. none of them would have passed if citizens and policymakers were willing to think big and take risks. there are plenty of innovative solutions to the big and small challenges that congress faces and today, with joined by a panel of big thinkers. the committee will use its rules that allow for a more flexible heari

so that members of congress know and hear from their own constituents what they node. and how they need it. in the terminology that means something to them. because we believe that health care is a right not a privilege. too many families face the impossible choice. keep a roof over your head and food on the table or access to life saving care. campaign trail, i have seen grown men cry because they can't pay the prescription drug bills. they have family members and say, i just can't afford it. and it keeps getting more and the it was the one element of the affordable care act we reducing the costs that kept going up and now we have broken that strangle hold. lowering health care cost system about justice these benefits flow to the most in need. vulnerable seniors, working fells and communities of color. we honor doctor king, doctor king said, of all forms of inequality injustice in health care is the most shock anding inhuman, he said, because it is often result in physical death. now it is my privilege to introduce jessica k with covered california in delivering quali

congress for decades. more concerned with staying in power then using their position to help constituents. ere is a solution. it is called term limits. >> if i could wave a magic wand, there is a number of things i would do. one of them is term limits for members of congress. you would be able to bring in new blood, you'd be able to bring in new ideas. people would have incentive to go in and say i may only have three terms in the u.s. house, i want to get something done instead of kind of doing going into a big morass and how they do business. >> he is right. representatives traveling. get the heck out of there. the idea of career politicians who lived in d.c. for decades was not the plan our founding fathers had in mind. it is not healthy. you lose perspective. the washington bubble is real. new faces and new ideas and washington would bring about the changes so many americans are looking for. get in, serve, get out and go home. joining us now is someone looking to bring a new face to congress. the great state of washington. the republican candidate for the united states senate. thank you

>> since i joined the congress, i have been hearing from so many constituents about the high cost ofcare affordability act says that no american will pay more than 8. 5% of their income for silver level marketplace plans. this is for people who purchased their own health care coverage. and it extends the popular tax credits, which makes their premium prices more affordable. this is first signed into law as part of the american rescue plan, in the spring of 2029. 2021. and then we saw 14. 5 million americans and roll in coverage. that american rescue plan provision was set to expire at the end of this calendar he year. so, what we have in the inflation reduction act is a three-year extension of these incredibly powerful, popular tax credits, that allow people to find coverage, oftentimes for less than $10 a month. >> so, i am imagining your days as a nurse. and encountering people who have affordability struggles with the health care services that you are part of providing for them.

transportation department and congress are takg steps to try and ease the pain at airports. they heard from you, their constituentsy lawmakers would require airlines to offer a full cash refund, just money back, within0 days of the flight being canceled. current federal rules say fliers are entitled to a refund, but a lot of airlines offer to rebook or voucher. another rule would require airls to refund money if your flight is delayed more than three hourr change your arrival or departur. that could go into effect by thd of this year at the earliest. there's also good news on the travel front. those sky high air air fares have started to drop y bit as we look toe holiday travel season, and experts say t might be smart to look ahead toe fall and winter trips and do it now. >> already air fares have droppd 27% from may and the next ten days we expect them to drop another 20%. so if you're a smat and strategic traveler and havey money left in the bank ," now is ," now is the time to start booking for the fall. it will ba buyer's market. >> so once you get there, hotels are also starting to come down partly because it

i talked to republican members of congress, their phones and texts are blowing up from constituents whore outraged. social conservative groups that have really turned their back on trump in terms of looking for another candidate moving forward, their members are furious. they say that the biden administration and the doj have stepped on a hornet's nest to the degree they just don't know because people are angry, and they are turning to trump. look, we have many questions that need to be answered. was there some type of mishandling of this information or government documents, we need to know, and i understand. i heard alberto gonzalez say that typically you don't answer questions in the middle of an ongoing investigation. this is far from your typical investigation. members of congress i have talked to said, sure, they would like to talk with the doj, but they also need to answer questions for the public to put some of this frustration at ease. >> alice stewart, congressman dent, thank you. >> thanks, victor. >>> primary day in several states, including wisconsin, where there is another

fergus just spoke about the first congress that members have represented 30,000 constituents will represent between seven and 800,000. it is really complicated. i actually do think there are structural reforms that are outside of our committee's jurisdiction but that are important, including the role of money in politics, bipartisan gerrymandering. thank you for telling us the dereliction of that. we have to have a system where voters choose elected officials rather than elected officials choosing their voters. you see places that get for our blue or for or read. it makes it very challenging because people say i still remember my first week in congress i saw done with one of my colleagues. two democrats and two republicans went out for burgers and 45 minutes into the mill i said phil's likes we should be able to get some of this figured out. one of my colleagues just happened to be a republican from the midwest. he said i really like you and he said but here is what you don't get i won my seat by defeating a republican incumbent. he said the first foot i cast when i got here was a vote agai

remember that congress is not in washington right now members are at home talking with their constituents, following the news just like we are. but we are seeing some reaction from one republican congressman andy biggs he's a member of the freedom caucus, and he says congress must look into a viability of federal law enforcement agencies that abuse their authorities for political purposes and he suggested that these individuals within the fbi and doj may be rogue and violating their oath of office by not upholding the law and need to be held more accountable. now, of course we do not know what exactly is happening in mar-a-lago right now we do not know what the role of these fbi investigators who are apparently at former president trump's home might be. but already this is becoming a divisive issue, and already you're seeing his staunch supporters in congress stand up for him. we know that there are republicans on the january 6th committee such as vice chair liz cheney who had been saying that the department of justice, if it has evidence that suggests that the president -- former preside

days it used to be yeah, congress wanted protectionism but the president would stop it and it was kind of understood as long as congresspeople could campaign until their constituents i tried the president would not allow it. and everyone kind of understood figure game is to keep the economy rolling. and i would say particularly you certainly speak of the interesting episode when you're ahead of the council of economic advisors. you had just arrived, you march into president bush to say here are all the great reason the steel tariff you're putting him with pennsylvania is just a terrible idea. pennsylvania is a big swing state and he understood that. you put on a map he said herere the jobs you were going to protect. way more jobs are going to lose. and you lost the argument. but yet that was anot exception not the rule. i think a lot of times were very successful in arguing for free trade. other people who've been head of the council of economic advisors often speak about that and one of the areas were economists really upheld principles. but boy has that changed. and why do you think it is? what you think we can do to bring it back i guess a set of precise statem

congress. this tenth district of new york, mondaire jones, he basically moved about 75 miles south into this newly created district. these are all new constituentstrump, he's running in this race. he poured a lot of his own money. crowded field. down in florida here, it's that democratic primary. charlie crist, once the republican governor of the state. he switched parties. ran as a democratic for governor. went to congress. running as a democrat for governor against nikki fried. winner gets ron desantis and of course, that fall race there, whoever the democrat is. we watch closely because of a large expectation that desanctis will try to roll this campaign into a presidential campaign in 2024. >> boy, a lot to watch for and i know you'll be there for it all. steve kornacki, thanks so much. we'll be right back with more "morning joe." right back with "morning joe." purchases on your discover card. real-time ticket upgrade! meaning... i get to meet my childhood idol. that works. i named my dog joey fatone. when your customer experience works, the world works. that's why the world works with servicenow. no matter who you are, being yourself can be

constituents to mark their calendars to apply for the funding he voted against. president biden has more politely than us also noticed this phenomena. >> even my republican friends in congress, not a single one of them voted for the rescue plan. i'm not going to embarrass any one of them, but i have here a list of how back in their districts, they're bragging about the rescue plan. >> we also have a list. a few lists, actually, because there was also of course the massive omnibus spending bill. at least ten republicans who voted no and took credit for funding. elise stefanik from new york, quote, i have worked to secure many critical wins for upstate new york and the north country. also posting a lit of more than ten local projects that would now have funding because of this spending bill that she voted against. several of these republicans did not respond to our request for comment but those who did made statements along the lines of, hey, i supported the funding for that. i just didn't like the whole bill, or as hinson's office tsdz, quote, since the bill was signed it to law, this money was going to be spent regardless. if there's federal money on the table, the congress
