tillis: senator sanders. -- >> senator sanders. sen.sanders: i like the slogan you coined, make america healthy again. i strongly agree with that effort. despite spending as you indicated two or three times as much per capita and health care as other nations, we have 85 million people who are uninsured, underinsured. we have all kinds of chronic illnesses. our life expectancy is lower than other countries and for working class people in this country, they are working six to seven years shorter lives than the top 1%. we have a problem. i am going to suggest some ideas that can remedy that. last year, the insurance industry in this company made over $70 billion while, at the same time, 85 million americans are underinsured. do you agree with me that the united states joined every other major country on earth and guaranteed health care to all people as a human right? yes or no? mr. kennedy: senator, i can't give you a yes or no answer to that question. sen. sanders: is health care a human right? mr. kennedy: in the way that free speech is

sanders: ok. i want to pick up on a point, look, there is no question that abortion is divisive in this country. i would cite the majority of the people are pro-choice -- i would say the majority of the people are pro-choice. there is a minority that are pro-life. a year and a half ago you were running for president and in a speech you talked about government should not tell a woman what she can do with her own body, that is her choice. now i think everybody on that side is pro-life. i think everybody here is pro-choice here to have never seen any major politician flip on that issue quite as quickly as you did when trump asked you to become hhs secretary. secretary. tell me why you think people should have confidence in your consistency and in your word when you really made a major u-turn on an issue in such a short time. mr. kennedy: senator, i believe -- and i have always believed -- every abortion is a tragedy. sen. sanders: you told the people of new hampshire it is their right. let me do a la

sanders: thank you. the president in the past has indicated that he would maybe do what president biden did. stand up to big pharma. we are paying now in some cases 10 times more for the same exact drug that other countries are paying. are you going to advise the president to take on big pharma and do what he promised to do, and that is have americans not pay a nickel more than other countries for prescription drugs? will you advise him to do that? mr. vought: the president has not made an announcement since he's been in office but ran on this issue. a speech with regard to making sure that we were getting the same types of arrangements that the other countries were given the amount we were investing. he also wants to do it in a careful way, so that we are not ruining the phenomena and the ministry that allows us to have lifesaving -- sen. sanders: i do understand that. we want innovation, but will you maintain what we fought very hard to do what every other country does, have medicare negotiate prescrip

it really seemed like joe biden with not push back on the left at all and felt like bernie sanders was running his economic policy and my question is how can democrats, it seemed like obama did this more, push back on the left than sort of staying moderate because i feel a lot of people were turned off by some of joe biden's policies. mr. boyle: it's interesting you have that perception because i have heard the same question in reverse. i have literally had progressive friends of mine say, you know, it really seemed like wall street was running his policies and why wasn't he more populist or aggressive and had it said to me including one particular good friend of mine in my district. so i think some of that is the perception of the person asking the question and where they're coming from. but it does speak to a larger issue and that is any time you're in the majority it is challenging to keep everyone within your tent rowing in the same direction and on the same side. as time goes on, we'll see how donald trump and his side struggles with this, especially with such a small majority in

a out from big pharma elizabeth warren. >> what has bernie sanders done for my health for my kids? >> moved to vermont and have a conversation with bernie sanders can deliver but don't be dishonest about it. this felt like the first hearing to me where the senators were 99% of them took it seriously and they had real questions but that's because the range of awfulness or insanity on display and rfk junior is so broad. everything from anti- vaccine which loves to deny they had him on tape over and over again on podcast, rafael warnock repeating him and lyme disease is material engineered by a weapon, pesticide turning your kids trans -- he can say whatever he wants today but he's on record having said these things. elizabeth warren i get, the town got high-pitched what she's talking about the "wall street journal" who did a big piece, he's been referring clients to the law firm making millions of dollars off of payroll suing vaccine and drugmakers. we all know how important vaccines are mitch mcconnell, who will see what he does, he had polio, the about vaccines leading to autism, i

we return to our conversation with vermont independent senator bernie sanders. senator, thank you for sticking with us through the break. i want to ask you about some of the rather fiery hearings you were a part of this past week, in particular with a potential health and human services secretary to be, rfk jr. you told cbs in december you think he's right about the food industry and obesity and what he says about high prices for prescription drugs. but during the hearing, you had some sharp exchanges. are you at this point decided on your vote? will you cross over and help republicans confirm him? >> margaret, i have up to now voted for some trump appointee, a few. i voted against most and i'll make my decisions next week. where kennedy is right is we are an unhealthy society. the point i have been making, many others have been making for a long time. one of the things that concerns me very much, and kennedy mentioned it, our life expectancy, how long our people live is five years less than other wealthy countries. if you're working class in this countries you

here's what bernie sanders had to say about this idea.card companies when the institutions charge over 25% interest on credit cards. they are engaged in what he calls extortion and loansharking. the conservative republican from missouri, hawley, says america's drowning in iraq debt. issuers are -- credit card debt. issuers are getting are richer and richer. of t it's not just is wrong, it's exploitive. if you take the numbers from 2022, $105 billion paid in interest on credit cards. and people out there are getting fed up. listen to this, stuart. >> it's really, really easy the get into -- to get into a financial hole, and it's hard to get out of it especially with the interest rates that are, like, crazy. like 29%. it should be, it should be illegal. >> the interest rates on credit cards are outrageous given that the banks are giving out no interest to people. so i think it's a great idea. >> i -- people do need their credit cards for bills and things are going up, and they have to probably use that to get by. so at least 10%, at least i

arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders joins us now.g, governor. >> good morning, thank you for having me this morning. >> ainsley: what was your reaction to that, not just canada and mexico, el salvador, venezuela, colombia, what happened with panama canal? >> this is a president who is tired of america getting ripped off and doing everything for so many different parts of the world, tired of a broken down border. both at our southern border and northern border and he wants our allies and partners to step up and their part to stopoverwhelming drug epidemic coming into the country, overflow of illegal immigrants coming in and wants to see fair and free trade take place. we have a president who is going to stand up, fight for america and protect american interests. he campaigned on this and with the win he was delivered in november of last year, american people are demanding he deliver on it and he's doing exactly that. none of these things should come as a surprise, he talked about it, campaigned on it. >> ainsley: he is doing it, what

and i think ironically bernie sanders bottomed out at $26. but that is really what it was.am the $27. but can you imagine the meeting? >> greg: the ones he! >> some shirtless stuff with him holding birds? no. show it to him, johnson. >> i don't know. >> show it to him. we have onesies, sir. that is what we will go with. >> greg: kat, i couldn't help but i was watching looking at cheryl heim in the back there. >> of course. >> greg: very stunning woman looking at the back of her husband. >> that is what i was thinking the whole time because let's be real i'm sorry let's be real, rfk jr. has said some truly insane to [bleep] before okay? that is exactly why his wife is so hot. the guy who will say some wild like throw caution to the wind and willing to say wild stuff to you that defies logic and reason that? will win over a better looking more boring guy. >> greg: the bad boy. >> the wild boy that is why she is so hot. look at all the stuff that is so crazy that he said and people still want this guy over the institutions because of how badly you [bleep] up. >> greg: exactly.

. >> bernie sanders making a post about how donald trump is trying to silence independent media was the wildest [bleep] i've ever seen from a politician. independent media [bleep] cbs and cbs that edit that had kamala harris interview to look like she had a good point? >> alex soros reposting it claim that basically you have an unelected kabal wielding power. >> that's you, alex. that's you. that's your dad. liz: that's joe rogan and his guest going after democrats and complaining about billionaire elon musk. he's trying to fix the government, stop all the corruption. same democrat who took billions from far left billionaires like georgia alex soros catering to them. they've been catering to them, those billionaires doing things like defund police; righted? lisa boothe is here in moments to break it down. plus this story. >> my privacy has been violated in more ways than one. way more is out there than i would want out there. liz: that was nfl star quarterback joe burrow after a home invasion burglary gang robbed his home outside of cincinnati. for those illegal aliens now busted after

>> a miss to the populist mind mill between josh hawley and bernie sanders who have teamed up on a billue donald trump promised this on the campaign trail, but it's a price control and a bad idea. people who don't have stellar credit would lose access to these cards, they might have to go to pawnbrokers, everyone else would lose their reward points or cash back because the money has to come from somewhere. paul: all right. and remember, if you have your own hit or miss, be sure to send it to us it's jer on fnc. thanks to my panel and thank all of you for watching. i'm paul gigot. hope the see you right here next week -- hope to see you right here next week. >> a jam-packed weekend for president trump after hosting an invite-only dinner for senate republicans at a m

>> no as you heard with bernie sanders he refused to acknowledge that vaccines do not cause autism.repeatedly asked about that during the hearings and other safety effects he said oh well, i will look at the science it was basically a deflection very slippery similar to what we've seen with anthony fauci. in my view he is the flip side of anthony faucher he wanted me too put the data to surf his own purposes and for which a case, and we can get into this to help us trial lawyer friends to shake on the drugmakers and vaccine makers. paul: went to ask you about that. he was on the take a basically. he gets feeds from referrals to trial lawyers for a lot of his-that's how he makes his money he had first said i am not going to stop that went i am at hhs when you have the power at hhs to really help them. how would he be able to help limit hhs cluster. >> there are many ways. elizelizabeth warren a fellow fd of the trial lawyers pointed them out. for instance he could add injury to the injury compensation list for special national injury compensation program. he could also remove vaccine

occupy street and 2011, the candidate of 2016 was not only trump, but sanders, who, when i talk about him, when i'm discussing current politics, i call him the second most successful socialist in american. afr eugene victor ds, no one is really tried to argue me out of that, and i don't think they can. so my question is, for a new generation, the american left, i will say also that having an american left is important for politics in america. for a new generation of the american left. what that you have studied in your career, studying radicalism is relevant to them and to their experience. and here i ask you to consider, of course, communism, but you also know a lot about democratic socialism and you know a lot about all the byways and highways of the american left in the 20th century. so we're going to go to q&a after this question. but i don't want to let go until i give a chance to impart some of knowledge and wisdom to future generations. yeah, well, yeah, absolutely mean that the failure of american is not identical with the failure of the american left. i mean, is a difficult c

you have other voices, bernie sanders, chuck mouleton, a congresswoman who voted against biden's debty are trying to stand up to party leadership saying we aren't in touch with voters right now. they don't want the activist causes like abolishing ice. a big part of why president trump won people are sick of the out of control border and immigration and the economy. >> sandra: to that point the "washington post" writes as washington reels from trump's first actions his voters like what they see. in interviews with nearly 20 people it reads in recent days most trump supporters were in favor of efforts to scale back the federal workforce and stand by controversial cabinet nominees and slash foreign aid. isn't that what matters? >> zooming out from what she said. beyond the policy voters wanted a massive cultural mandate. a shift. trump delivered that whether you like it or not. you know when you see it, it is america first. building is good. identity politics is bad. we had a great column in the free press who laid out what democrats need to do. stop dropping the f bomb talking about fas

so much for bernie sanders maybe throwing in with rfk, jr. he was a definitive no. with collins there might have been interesting phone calls between collins and the white house over the last 24 hours. i know the man you see there right now, senator thom tillis of north carolina was thinking of maybe voting a no on hegseth and insiders told me there was some spirited conversation between the white house and tillis, which maybe led him to change his vote or his say in this. >> dana: a long piece in the "wall street journal" today about that 24 hours to get him to be a yes on hegseth. chad pergram, you are standing by to give us your analysis and update. hello. >> just before the vote started we got a statement from bill cassidy, the republican senator from louisiana who chairs the senate health committee. not the committee with the main jurisdiction over this nomination. this was the senate finance committee that had to vote to get the nomination out and send it to the floor. that vote was a party line vote. this is what he said. he indicated yesterday that he was ki

washington correspondent andrea mitchell, nbc news senior white house correspondent gabe gutierrez, symone sanders townsend, former chief spokeswoman for vice president kamala harris and republican strategist sara fagen. welcome to sunday, it's "meet the press". >> from nbc news in washington, the longest-running show in television history, this is "meet the press" with kristen welker. >>> good sunday morning. we begin with president biden's historic overhaul of the federal government that is proceeding at an unprecedented pace and scale. the president has tasked elon musk, the world's richest man, with carrying out his mission and now musk and his team of young tech engineers have inserted themselves into at least 17 federal agencies,s, according to "the new york times," accessing sensitive federal data like social security numbers and bank accounts for millions of americans. on friday, president trump defended musk's role. >> is there anything you've told elon musk he cannot touch? >> well, we haven't discussed that much. i'll tell him to go here, go there, he does it. he's got a very capable gr

as senator sanders says, their elon musk at the moment also seems to be the world's most influentialerson. the newly minted special government employee with donald trump's praise and constant admiration and fawning, has been whipping through the federal government with his doge team, gutting federal agencies, firing federal employees, and gaining access to troves of federal government data and materials, all while maintaining his very profitable leadership positions at several private companies. rolling stone points out just how problematic this is. quote. it's nearly impossible for musk to direct any action by doge in washington without potentially affecting one of his businesses. x, formerly twitter, currently faces a lawsuit from the sec that alleges he withheld information about the steak he was acquiring in the company ahead of his bid to purchase it. the department of labor, which could be next on the chopping block for doge, has probed and fined tesla and spacex for unsafe working conditions through the occupational safety and health administration. tesla is also under investi

[ laughter and applause ] and even the pigeons are like, "let's steer clear of that one. he's grumpy enough." so the oligarchs were all there to suck up to trump. but hey, at least none of them did anything weird or off-putting that caused a major international outcry. >> spacex, tesla, and x founder elon musk igniting online chatter for what he did at a rally for president trump yesterday. the billionaire seen placing his hand on his heart and then extending his arm out above his head with his palm facing down. he did that gesture twice. many on social media compared the gesture to a nazi salute. >> thank you. [ cheers ] >> seth: i don't know why everybody's complaining. he was just grabbing his heart and violently throwing it out to the crowd.

this is what we did on the bernie sanders presidential campaign.is what we did when i ran the aclu during the first trump years. this is what i'm doing now in building a media organization called more perfect union. the opportunity is there for the dnc if you choose it. when we boost our grassroots donation programs, the state parties are going to see both more funding and more engagement. that will help us win more elections. i want to add that i strongly believe in being a good steward of money. at the aclu and the bernie sanders campaign, we raised hundreds of millions of dollars. i jumped into the race and i did not start a pac i. couldn't take money from working-class people, throw trinkets and happy hours. i don't want to be corrupted by money before i walk in the door. i don't want it setting strategy for us. we will raise tons of grassroots money when i'm chair. if we are clear ride and strategic and operate with integrity, we will come out of the trump era more strong. i don't believe the people in this country want to witness a president

the way, you know, they essentially made it impossible for me without that corporate money. bernie sanders would have run against drop the 1st time around. and i believe we would want, but they destroyed it. they destroyed that possibility. so are you hopeful that we're close to that moment? are we on the precipice of a radical moment of resistance that we in the verge of toppling power? no, because the left has been so decimated, so we don't have the left we have in the thirty's. europe went one way fascist. we went another way, which was kweisi socialist. but our left has been so decimated and destroyed. i fear that we don't have the forces of resistance that can, you know, create the kind of space and socially quality and liberty that is, is, should be fundamental to an open society. so no, i'm actually very pessimistic. however, um, you know, that's where i fall back on my religious tradition where it doesn't matter. i mean, you come out of the black prophetic tradition, you know, boy, if anybody understood the world around them and the forces against them, it works because the, the, y
