years ago today and what difference was iraq to vietnam because obviously mick jagger and the rolling stone sang about your opposition to the vietnam war how is it different i think the main difference is in what happened to the world in the ninety's in my opinion the fact that the soviet union collapsed that china and the way it did created a huge wave of demoralized nation even amongst people who basically didn't so all these governments but saw them as creating a space between 2 power blocs and in that space we can all function and live and be critical of one euro side and we want to do. that counterbalance disappeared the united states' book game the had a moment power in global scale and people failed them and alternatives the iraq and iraq war demonstrations in my opinion was the 1st sign that people were searching for something else 1st day by saying don't make war on iraq and these demonstrations were huge in your but if we look back on it over a 1000000 people in london 2000000 people in madrid nearly 3000000 in rome. over 200000 to new york hundreds of thousands all over and the p

senior writer for rolling stone and former undersecretary of state. she is an msnbc global affairs contributor. i want to listen to what joe biden said today to echo what we just heard from bernie sanders about trying to make sure that this campaign doesn't become about personal attacks. let's listen to that. >> what we can't do is let this turn into a campaign of negative attacks. the eye on the ball is to reclaim the soul of this country. >> wendy, to give bernie sanders credit, he was able to maintain a campaign last time with hillary clinton where there were no personal attacks. he was invited at certain points to launch personal attacks even invited in debates to do that, especially about the hillary clinton e-mails. he just refused to do it. >> well, i think that both senator sanders and vice president biden have the right idea which is the american public is exhausted by donald trump, the world is exhausted by donald trump. and they really want to hear some conversation about the issues that people care about over their kitchen table. i think a

we'll save that for another day because jameel smith makes a better point in "rolling stone" saying biden and sanders should be the drum majors of celebrating warren's ideas and the approach of politics in this race, they would both do themselves a service and the nation. does that help them bring her supporters to the table if they wrap their arms around these policies? >> absolutely because i think on the democratic side more so than the republican side you are actually supporting candidates with the set of policies. we care about ideas. we care about personality and care about your policies and so i think especially in this particular primary it started out so large and it was whittled down and it was the distinction between how to pay for medicare for all. you haven't told us. that's a distinction of warren and bernie. go down the line. i feel like voters making the calculations throughout the series of debates. and so, going forward it would be really smart for both bernie and biden to adopt parts of elizabeth warren's policy platform. we did that in 2016, too. >> that's what she sai

and jameel for rolling stone. many of us have been critical about how the president has handled this coronavirus situation from the beginning, starting with saying it was a hoax, then gradually coming closer and closer to reality. what do we need to hear today? they've now announced testing. they've now announced they were going to do things with glolg and alphabet. it seems that some of that is not exactly as they have said in terms of once we checked with google, once we check other things, they're now -- what do we want to hear specifically from this briefing from vice president pence any moment? >> well, reverent, i think we need to hear more governornance and less showmanship. i think we need to see a lot less of what we saw on friday in the rose garden where the president was marching out ceo's and brazing business and trying to get wall street's numbers up. we need to see a primary concern for people sick and who might be sick and not know it. on that point i think what we need to see from the vice presiden

here is a quote from a piece in "rolling stone," a rule change that the usda is looking to put in place would halt states ability to waive certain work and time limit requirements for snap recipients. the change would remove approximately 700,000 people from snap roles starting on april 1st. the federal snap requirements mandate able-bodied adults without dependents must show they have worked at least 80 hours per month for more than three months in a 36-month period to stay on a snap program. you can't do when people are being laid off. here is what bishop barber had to say about the way the poor are treated, even in the bill that congress passed. >> this stimulus actually leaves out millions. we don't have a prohibition against water shutoff. we don't have a prohibition against evictions. millions of people, part time workers, that means they get nothing. they don't have paid sick leave. it didn't provide the $50 billion we need for child care. it didn't do anything about health insurance for the uninsured. >> congressman, what can be done regarding the food stamp provisions, as well

just to give you a hypothetical, it is not set in stone that roll call vote only goes on for 15 minutes. we could lengthen the amount. people could come over one at a time, come over in small groups. we will deal with the social distancing issue without fundamentally changing the senate rules. >> people are still going to the supermarkets and seeing all this uncertainty, what do you want to tell them? >> the way to indicate certainty is to get about doing what we're talking about. to see bipartisan bicameral action. and that will happen on the house passed bill as soon as we can clear whatever procedural issues we have to clear to get it across the senate floor and get it down to the president for signature. and then we'll move here at warn speed for the senate, which almost never does anything quickly. i think that everyone on both sides of the aisle oig is seized with the urgency of moving yet another bill and intend to do that. >> part of the house bill for -- [ inaudible ] >> usually he wants to often a amendment to pay for these kind of bills. he is usually willing to let us have t
