joining me now is nina turner. welcome to "the sunday show." >> thanks, jonathan. >> so nina, what will be different about this campaign than the one you ran a few months ago? >> well, there is a new district, new people, new time. i mean, it really is what reverend dr. king called the fierce urgency of now. people deserve and need somebody that will be a champion for them, the poor, the working poor and middle class. and it is not just enough to vote the right way. we got it on get out here on the front lines and fight for the

pennsylvania governor and dnc chair ed rendell and nina turner, former ohio state senator and chairman of bernie sanders' presidential campaign. the president is expected to tout his successes this year. the unkplamt rate at 3.9%. more americans have been vaccinated. they are sending out hundreds of millions of tests and masks. do you think that's enough for this administration to take a victory lap about? >> sure. understand we went from 2 million americans being vaccinated to over 200 million americans being fully vaccinated. great achievement, and people said it couldn't be done. secondly, the economy is coming right back, first with the american rescue plan which saved millions of small businesses and families from going bankrupt and going out of business entirely. that was a hugely successful

joining us now is former ohio state senator nina turner. she was co-chair of bernie sanders 2020 presidential campaign. we're also joined by jonathan cott, former senior adviser to joe manchin. nina, to you first. what appears to be voting rights legislation dead. >> i mean, this is a sad day. we're in the 201 century. we are not in the 19th, 18th century. this is a sad day, a sad time for democracy. and although the african american community certainly shoulders an enormous burden when it comes to voting rights because of the historic import of how we had to fight and people had to die to get those rights, this is an attack, make no mistake, on every single person in this country, particularly the poor, the working poor, and the barely middleclass. an absolute sad day that you have senators that would rather

this is nina turner, a key deputy for bernie sanders, a prominent progressive in ohio. she says because senator sinema and manchin won't help the president he should do this. >> he wasted a whole bunch of time with these folks being diplomatic and inviting them out to the white house and he needs to hold a press conference. let them know you're going to be by my side and be with me and getting rid of the filibuster or i'm gassing up the jet on your behind and i will be in arizona and west virginia directly and let the american people know who is standing in the way of my entire agenda, not just voting rights, but.gas up the jet. >> you see, you hearings you don't need to explain the anger and the frustration right there. the challenge though is in a mid-term election if you have a democratic civil war that makes a tough campaign environment even worth. >> yeah. i don't -- i think that what the white house could do to help president biden and his approval ratings and his chances in the

. >> want you to listen to nina turner, former ohio state senator, well-known progressive, what she said the white house needs to do now. >> now he don't wasted a whole punch of time with these folks and being diplomatic and inviting them out to the white house. and he needs to have a press conference and say either you're with me in getting rid of the f filibuster or i'm gasing up the jet on your behind and i will let the american people standing in the way of my entire agenda so president biden gas up the jet. >> they say target manchin and sinema. >> it is good to see her supporting joe biden for a change. that is welcome news. look, joe biden is going to do what joe biden does. you've got to do what doing to work. we spent the last 12 months trying to convince manchin and

joining me now is nina turner.ut this campaign than the one you ran a few months ago? >> well, there is a new district, new people, new time. i mean, it really is what reverend dr. king called the fierce urgency of now. people deserve and need somebody that will be a champion for them, the poor, the working poor and middle class. and it is not just enough to vote the right way. we got it on get out here on the front lines and fight for the people. >> so then specifically what would you want to work on if you were to come to congress? >> certainly i believe that the minimum wage should be raised to at least $15. we should be talking more about a living wage, that is an opportunity that the democrats have that certainly we could use right now in this particular moment. people's income is not keeping up or their wages is not keeping up with inflation and there is a lot of suffering going on. expansion of voting rights. we'refiercely battling that. so you have republicans who have definitely lost their ever loving mind

tommy, michael steele, nina turner, i wish we had more time. fascinating conversation.ryone seems to agree, it's better for our kids mental health if they're in school, and not remote. but guess what, the data doesn't always back that up. do not miss my conversation coming up, with the talks psychiatrist, after very short break. short break. what are you recommending for muscle pain? based on clinical data, i recommend salonpas. agreed...my patients like these patches because they work for up to 12 hours, even on moderate pain. salonpas. it's good medicine do i need to pretreat my laundry? nope! with tide pods, you don't need to worry. the pre-treaters are built in. tide pods dissolve even when the water is freezing. nice! if it's got to be clean, it's got to be tide. living with diabetes? glucerna protein smart has your number with 30 grams of protein. scientifically designed with carbsteady to help you manage your blood sugar. and more protein to keep you moving with diabetes. glucerna live every moment we gotta tell people that liberty mutual customizes car insurance

. >> we were having a discussion with nina turner, of course, of bernie land, and jonathan kott of manchin is -- i think she reflects a lot of progressives, she is very upset, she is very frustrated, she wants president biden to go fire up the jet and go after kyrsten sinema and joe manchin. jonathan kott says democrats have things they can celebrate, but can they? do you think they can go and celebrate ahead of the midterms their accomplishments successfully? >> it is hard to convince bernie sanders himself, that interview at the garden the other day, the democrats have simply failed and the biden administration needs a reset. look, again, to be fair to the president, he has a five-seat majority in the house and a 50/50 room for error in the united states senate and the rules essentially say you need 60 votes. this is incredibly hard. as we beat up on joe biden, doing any of these big things is not easy. but he keeps saying he can get them done. he did allow the expectations to build. the challenge here, brianna, is what happens in a midterm election, what happens in a midterm election wh

what i mean by that is that if we seek candidates like marianne williamson, nina turner, that is becausebout this that the progressive left feels like president biden has let them down. it is the ones like elizabeth -- elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, those of the ones were talking about it off air. as of the ones were talking about it behind closed doors. they are hoping that biden designed to run for reelection. but the open discussion, the one being held in the public forum, that is the one that indicates how disappointed that progressive is with biden. mike representative ro khanna from california who talked about nancy pelosi stepping down and said that we help the speaker represents a more progressive faction. they're having an ongoing conversation about it, but that reflects the tenor of. >> harris: that is where jeffrey's name came out. the word for this segment though it came from gillian. thanks d. , thanks. coming up, how the left wants to erase the, erase the past and demonizing what made america great real cowboys get customized car insurance with liberty mutual, so we o

you have a rematch with bernie sanders' ally, nina turner. take a listen to her on with my colleague, jonathan capehart, excuse me for saying tina turner. it's nina turner. take a listen. >> it's a new district. it is new people. and it is absolutely a new time. it is my sincere hope that the issues are pushed forward and that dark money that really does not care about the destiny of the people in greater cleveland, that they do not come in and try to dilute and also pollute the election process this time. >> so two things there we heard. first and foremost is the interference of dark money here. do you agree with her, the involvement of dark money in the process? and also, are you confident you can defeat her once again? >> well, let me say this. dark money did play a role, and let me also point out that that dark money was on the other side of this race. i was outraised 3-1, and people seem to forget, there were 11 other candidates in the race, and while it came down to me and her, i won by not a plurality but a majority. the lines have not

. >> let's start with you, we just heard nina turner suggest biden should, in her words, gas up the jetr loyalty should lie. is there any appetite for the president to go lobby against those senators? >> certainly not to west virginia, there's no political reason for joe biden to ever step foot in west virginia. joe manchin is in a state where donald trump won by double digits, by probably more than any other state in the union. he's probably the only democrat who would win in west virginia today. arizona, on the other hand, maybe be a little bit of a different story. there is an appetite among some democrats in that state to challenge kyrsten sinema. the reason we're in this position in the first place is that joe biden doesn't have much political leverage over either of the senators. and i don't think that will change. >> david, you've been in a white house going through tough times during the obama administration. how badly does president biden need a win right now? >> he does need one. wolf, look, i was there in some difficult times in 2009, 2010. i lived by these words. you're neve
