even as a democratic party, those of us who support democrats, we've got to do some internal searching to decide what do we mean by a quality education? what do we mean by racial equity? we use words but it does not mean we are all on the same page. i think having some national dialogue about it helps get us on the same page about how do we measure this. curtis: lakisha? lakisha: george, that sounded -- a philosophical perspective, we ain't got that kind of time. ok? [laughter] we don't. i think we know. every time we turn around, everybody is like we need to step back. george: we can walk two lines at the same time. lakisha: you can, but you know what happens -- i will walk you through the whole idea. we do need to walk two lines but we end up not walking that second line. we talk a lot and we have a lot of dialogue. i will piggyback -- piggyback which of our is saying. this lawsuit is for us to push the system to do the things we already created. this lawsuit is not one lawsuit because people forget about lawsuits next week. it is really about how do we leverage this lawsuit to make

but the most prominent i believers in the democratic party are nowhere to be found. we'll explain coming up. first, kevin mccarthy is calling it the pelosi pay-off. i think we can say it's the pelosi-schumer pay-off. democrats are now trying to ram what is a massive $1.9 trillion spending bill through the house of representatives as early as tomorrow. they want you, the american people, to believe something that is not true. they want you to believe this is an emergency covid relief package that will help we the people. nothing could be further from the truth. 9% of the $2 trillion goes towards fighting covid-19. 9%. nearly $700 billion will not even be spent for years until avenue 2022. last i checked, this is 2021. that includes billions of dollars in this bill that i don't even be spent until 2024. how is that in any way categorized as emergency covid relief? to make matters worse, the bulk of the spending bill had nothing at all whatsoever to do with getting money directly in to the hands of the american people, those that desperately need it. but per usual, joe b

this instability right now is not just bad for democracy but also for the democratic party. it's an instability that creeps in there as well. these parties create balance in the system. the other thing is that, as you are talking about antidemocratic actions of some republican lawmakers and leaders, the history of our country has been about slowly expanding access to the tools of democracy. the franchise was not given to anybody in the beginning. there is always, throughout our history, this ongoing tension between the aspirations to be a democratic union and the reality that we are nowhere near that. it's always the journey. that's just me getting philosophical for a moment. i wanted to share that with you. >> [inaudible] >> let me remind everybody that we are with our guests, longtime republican strategist who does not consider himself a republican anymore. we will get into that i'm sure. if you want to ask them a question, please text. you can tweet it at the city club and we will work it into the program. let me throw a question from one of our viewers at you. are there e

the democratic party today is the party of multinational corporations, big business, wall street, siliconalley and they are the pro-china party, putting american workers last in the interests of our greatest adversary had wall street interests ahead of the interests of working class, working men and women in this country. my dad is a retired factory worker. he made axles all his life. he identified as a democrat for most of his life. he didn't like a lot of republican leaders until donald trump. he was for donald trump eared we have to keep voters like i get and under kevin mccarthy and my leadership, we are going to be the party of the working class for longtime. minority leader mccarthy: there is something really throughout their. i don't think of -- something really true out there. i don't know if you are conservative -- i don't know if your democrat or republican, but the chinese communist party as something on them. they put eric swalwell, anyone who has heard that breathing would not have him on that committee and would question keeping him in congress but that is what happened with

sinclair is, first of all, our democratic party has stayed with them. i am a democrat. i do not want to change my politics. i believe that the republican party, so far, has been a failure. >> have you anything to say that? >> you are wrong because the democratic party is not with sinclair. the democratic party is not raising funds for sinclair's election. the money raised in different states is independent of the democratic party. you know that. >> sinclair has interviewed are president of the united states. and had a great reception. >> and when he went to see him, he told him not to discuss politics because he knew that he would be put on the spot by sinclair. >> there is no such thing as putting a ban on the spot. that is the thought of your mind. >> we are on the spot now.

the situation, the instability right now is bad not just for emocracy but bad for the democratic party. it is an instability that creeps in there as well. because these parties sort of create balance in the system. but the other thing is that as you're talking about the anti-democratic actions of some republican lawmakers and lowly leaders, that this history of our country has been about kind of slowly expanding access to the tools of democracy. that the franchise was not a his given to everybody in the beginning and that there is always throughout our history this ongoing tension between the aspirations to be a democratic more perfect union and the at' reality that we'ree nowhere nea that and it is always sort of ai journey. that is just me getting philosophical for a moment but i waned to share that with you. >> [ inaudible ]. >> let me just remind everybodyl that we are with sarah longwellt and tim miller. long time republican an any strategists. himself a t considermomo republican any more. tex sarah is ish on that one.n tw andee if you want to ask a question, text to 330-541-5794

in terms of the democratic party no question, the democratic party is very strong in terms of educational equity. i'm going to talk about in a second the issue to push the party. and democratic party has led in terms of greater public education through this country. lydon baines johnson behind title one and the great expanse in funding last 40, 50, years, democrats at the forefront of that and even in our cities, democratic mayors, democrat school board members and democratic legislators driving that and with president biden, president biden wants to triple title one which would be historic. he wants to make college debt-free for families under $125,000. so democrats have been strong and leading on the funding issue. now, we're-- i'm a very strong democrat and very proud democrat. where i have to push some of my colleagues in the party is after we write the check what else do we have to do? one we have to focus on equity, even free college, debt-free college we hear about, that's great, but that's part of the conversation. what about the legacy? i'm a proud graduate of duke university. i

i mean this was our democratic party and we were democrats being treated this way, and it wasn't acknowledgedgetting blamed for hilary clinton losing. so, you know, right there we're an angry group of people who are just seeking justice, and i guess you could say, like anybody with a passion and a little bit of anger, you can become a target to these conspiracies. they're very insidious. you can look at people who are normally anti-vaxxers who are very, you know, cautious of pharmaceutical companies, and once they start following the bread crumbs of social media, all of a sudden they're believing in these conspiracies that bill gates is putting, you know, some kind of trackers in the vaccines. these are very civil people, intelligent people succumbing to this. >> it seems that there are people who may be more prone to believe conspiracies, because i hear your argument on the left about bernie sanders. again, it is the mirror of the argument that led to the insurrection on capitol hill. so could it be perhaps tha

what i am fighting for, chris, which is the subject of a whole other discussion is what is the democratic party? what do we stand for? i believe our future must be and i think the president would agree with me, we must be the party of the working class of this country, white and black and latino, native american, asian american. we must have the guts to stand up to powerful special interests and do what exists in so many countries around the world. you know, provide health care to all, public colleges and universities, tuition free, have a living wage as a minimum wage, et cetera, et cetera. but we have got to stand up forcefully for the working class of this country if we're going to succeed politically. >> senator bernie sanders, chair of that budget committee, which is the site of a lot of action these days. thank you very much for making some time for us tonight. >> thank you very much. >>> all right. even though it is one of the most consequential and most recorded events in modern american history, amazingly there is still so much we do not know about that attack on the capitol on january

the democrat party is the party of multinational corporations, wall street and they are the pro-china, putting american workers last for the interest of our greatest adversary and wall street interests, the head of the interests of working class men and women in this country. my dad is a retired factory worker. he made axles all his life. he identified as a democrat most of his life. he did not like the republican leaders until donald trump. we have to keep voters like my dad in the fray. under kevin mccarthy's leadership in my leadership we will continue to be the party of the working class for a long time to come.

college themes in 1956 and 1960 two make sure that there was a white supremacist candidate for the democratic party and republican party for anyone who challenged supremacy, these were all minority areas and windows failed, that's when we saw again a military wing if you prefer. the violence against the mass democratic citizenship and of course the twist in the story was once the democratic party as the party asserting themselves out to ideologically consistent factions, once we found kind of the northern liberal/african-american urban wing of the democratic party getting the overhead , that's when you see them basically we build a different political party and the quote that i've been using is the democratic, hiding republican delegates, the goldwater delegates in 1964 which is the convention removed the mason-dixon line of the canada that's when you begin to see the nationalization and that same dynamic of reactionary minority areas of. only willing to use political needs to espouse white supremacy when those work but violent meanswhen they don't . the techniques that we saw during the jim crow e

that is the democratic party. yes, they have a lot of fringe conspiracy theorists, and agitators, except they are not little-known in their party. they are literally running the whole show for the democratic party. they set the agenda, and they have all the power. so, democrats, ought to purge taylor greene from committees, then this same standard must be applied to them, right? out a fundamental fairness. for example, let's start with congresswoman omar, remember, she once floated the conspiracy theory that evil jews in israel have hypnotized the world? she said the council on american islamic relations was founded after 9/11 because some people did something. "did something?" you mean killed 3,000 americans, that "something?" end in 2019, congressman omar used an anti-semitic trope alleging that jewish influence in america, it's all about the benjamins, baby. remember that line? will democrats vote to bar her from those committee assignments? again, there you go. should in the same standards be applied to both s

it doesn't seem to matter to this new radical extreme democratic party, and mr. unity is not weighing in. they will never miss an opportunity to try to politically bludgeoned donald trump. in the middle of a pandemic law makers will be focused on yet another unfounded impeachment charade schiff show and ultimately we know the outcome. president trump will be acquitted for three main reasons. let's start with reason one. the trial is they are right. the 45 republicans, it's totally unconstitutional. the u.s. senate has no jurisdiction over a private citizen. that's clear-cut. that's simple. you don't need to be a harvard law grad to figure it out. there is a reason why john roberts is not presiding. with democratic senator, patrick leahy, imagine this, presiding. officially a kangaroo court because he's already said he wants a conviction. wow, that's real equal justice and due process, isn't it? so number two. the reason this will fail. the incitement claims are bogus. look at this. you even have the fake news media, the "washington post," cnn, we also have the fb

if we apply the democratic party standards, and she's in office, you could have a real impeachment, one that's constitutional, and she can be removed from office and john roberts would have to preside. now, will congressional democrats and media mob ever hold her accountable? don't hold your breath. or is the post-presidential impeachment show just one big political charade as i'm saying? republican members now need to apply the same standards to all elected officials. that's one way to end this madness. should they really? no, but if they are going to play that game and that's their standard, all the rules should apply equally. and now that we have the honorable patrick leahy presiding, the guy that's already determined that trump is guilty, maybe we should let jim jordan preside, and imagine having a trial where the judge and half the jury come out against you. it's beyond ludicrous. and on monday, senator lindsey graham rightly issued a stern warning, not physical warning, but a warning, to democratic colleagues, take a look. >> do you anticipate witnesses being called, and then bein

but this is the party that democrats they love what tech is doing.parler destroyed a competitor you talk antitrust violation in thes cheered them on they want that was wonderful when tech is censoring conservatives kicking them off platform they thought that was wonderful they want them to do more and what they want to do is use these corporations as the hand of government they want to have the corporations go out and do all of the regulation. but of course have none of the accountability that's why i say this is something we've not seen in america before we have the most powerful corporations in the history of the world in these tech companies. the democrats are standing with them should or to shoulder. and the solution is the time honored solution in this country which is we don't like concentrated power. we always disperse it we give power to the people that's what our constitution is based on. and that's what we need to get back to. mark: you know senator, this past week we saw something that i was very excited about. what i've coined reddit revo

had a major force in the democratic party. so their political careers, start to intersect. and it really happens when kennedy becomes a senator, and eleanor has different political views than he does. so you want to talk about how that evolved? >> i think that you can correct me if i'm off on this, but i think a large bit of the early schism with revolves around senator mccarthy. and senator mccarthy's relationship with the kennedy's, and even when the senate votes to censor mccarthy, and kennedy had a speech ready to support that censure but he was in the hospital and unable to deliver that speech, and because he's not able to publicly ready to distance himself from mccarthy and others are, i think eleanor and first from that and the ongoing family relations, between the mccarthy's and the kennedy's, that he may not be as strong a candidate, i may not share the same values that she shares. and i believe that engages in some public criticism of kennedy. for maybe not being the right candidate. and kennedy i think wisely does not engage in a public battle with eleanor roosev

i totally agree with what andy mccarthy is saying, this is an attempt to unify the democratic party thatdriven between progressive and less progressive factions. it's also an attempt to paper over the failure of a lot of people who are in power and very importantly, it's about dividing republican party from its voters. and trying to make, to form a wedge so that the republican party will be less accessible in the future. yes, joe biden joe biden won, but the republican party has never had so many voters and new and different types of voters. that's a big threat to the democratic agenda. they're trying to see, for those those weak republicans we can peel off? of course there are some republicans and media outlets that do in fact cater to whatever leftists media they tell them to. >> harris: interesting. they will need 17. that's a huge number. emily, last hour i had on sol wisenberg, former deputy independent counsel. he made an interesting point. he said when the house pushed for and passed impeachment last month they didn't do an investigation, they didn't do all those things. he said i

all about something else another dogma trying to be established did i far-left to assume the democratic party unfortunately president biden is being dragged into that. this stimulus package indicates to you exactly that more government bigger government more expenditure not good for economy or future generations not good for generation democratic or socialism as they call it. >> look, that is why you are seeing this high taxed state
