but in 1940, resident franklin delano roosevelt signed the fair labor standards act establishing the 84 years ago 40 hour week was established. since then, we've had a 400% increase in productivity, but nothing has changed. that was why in our victory campaign we had our stand up strike, we raised the flag for 32 hour workweek. a working-class issue and that's why 75% of americans in her contract right stood with us in that fight because they are all living the same reality. who is going to act to fix this epidemic of lives dominated by work? are the employees going to act? will congress act? how can working-class people take back their lives and take back their time? many in this room will say people just don't want to work, or working-class people are lazy. but the truth is, working-class people aren't lazy, they are fed up. they are fed up with being left behind and stripped of dignity as wealth and equality -- inequality spirals out of control. they are fed up thatica, three families have as much wealth as the bottom 50% of citizens in this nation. that is criminal. i want to clo

howe was an albany reporter, chain smoker, who believed that the freshman state senator, franklin delano roosevelt was destined for bigger things. william howe not only became senator roosevelt's re-election campaign manager. but the manager of franklin roosevelt's political career. there would have been no governor roosevelt. there would have been no president roosevelt, without louis howe. tim russert got his start in politics the same way i did. working for senator daniel patrick moynahan. >> and with us now, a man whose senate staff i served on a decade and a half ago. daniel patrick moynahan, senior senator from new york. welcome. >> now, i'm biased. but i think tim was the best moderator of "meet the press" or any sunday show ever. no one ever questioned tim russert's fairness and objectivity. even when he was interviewing his former boss. and i have a feeling tim russert would have been cheering for his former protege and friend, chuck todd yesterday, after "meet the press" interview of the former republican party chair, ronna mcdaniel, who was hired as a paid contributor to nbc news last w

we're about democracy and fighting these maga republicans and franklin delano roosevelt coming to thethis big issue stuff. and yet he never talked -- [audio difficulty] larry: see, steve -- we're having a little trouble with doug. steve hilton, come back to you, if you're still there with me. is steve still with me? >> yes. larry: all right. just want to make this point in the last seconds. what doug collins is saying is right. but, steve hilton, joe biden showed a lot of energy -- too much energy. bellicose last night. but he did show energy, he was standing at the end of it, and he did hit on the democratic issues. i don't like their issues, okay? i've said this a million times. i don't think you do either. but i'll just say one thing, this election's not over yet. biden in some sense last night, steve hilton, did what he had to do. i'll give you the last word. >> oh, yes, he did. he dispelled the talk of replacing him which was very strong in democrat circles privately. now, if you believe in the general election he's a fundamentally weak candidate, that's good news for republicans
