and now we have secretary sanders. >> secretary sanders: unfortunately, no matter how great the plan is for the hardworking families, democrats are expected to criticize the tax cuts as they have done in recent years, putting parson politics in front of pocketbook pocketbooks. the 1981 tax cuts, democrats claim it will only benefit the rich. the democrats speaker of the house, tip o'neill, called them royal tax cuts, because he claimed they favor the wealthiest americans. what really happened, more than 14 million new jobs were created over five years. income grew over 20% in the next seven years, and the economy grew by 3.5% for the rest of the decade on average. some democrats must have been paying attention to history, because recently as a blaster, they publicly supported many of the principles for which the president is advocating today. that includes lowering the corporate tax rate, which is highest among developed nations, so that our greatest businesses can be more competitive. senate democrat leaders chuck schumer in the past called our tax system upside down and inside out,

announcer: white house press secretary sander sanders -- sarah sanders answered several questions about general john kelly's remarks at the white house press briefing. this is 20 minutes. press sec. sanders: good afternoon. it is friday. come on, guys. don't let brian show you up. i know there is more spirit out there. as many of you saw last night, the senate adopted a budget resolution. this is another milestone for tax reform and sets the stage for us to pass major tax cuts that will deliver more jobs and higher wages for hard-working americans all over the country. many of you have seen today that the first lady donated the gown she wore to the inaugural ball to the smithsonian's national museum of american history. in her speech, she mentioned that leading up to inauguration day, everyone was so busy getting ready that the dress designer ended up only having two weeks to work on the design and create the dress. it obviously came together, and the first lady is excited to take part in the rich tradition of first ladies contributing to and maintaining our great history. by the way, i

senator sanders. senator sanders: we live in a nation today which has a massive level of income and wealth inequality. there is no debate but that the very wealthiest people in this country are becoming phenomenally richer. middle class is sh ringer. we have 40 million people living in poverty. our job is to rebuild the middle class and the working class of this country. not to give billions and hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the top 1%. and that's what this middle is amendment, no tax breaks for the top 1%. senator enzi: this amendment gives requirements outside of the budget committee. so after consultation of the parliamentarian, the chair finds the amendment is nongermane and out of order so i rule the amendment out of order. senator sanders: mr. chairman, i appeal the ruling of the chair. senator enzi: the motion is nondebatable. the question is on the motion to table on the ruling of the chair. all those in favor of table? all those opposed, no. senator sanders: i think we shou

sanders: right. this is determined by the puerto rican government, and we will look for to the audit to see if there are other issues beyond that. >> a question on the russia sanctions the president said in august. recipients were supposed to be named on october 1, and that just came out today. i am wondering if you can explain the delay and how soon administration will act to implement those sanctions? sec. sanders: there is an interagency review that has been completed. that was the cause of the delay. guidance was issued by the state department. for further details, i would refer you to the state department. nancy: -- >> the president tweeted out this morning after months of costly looking. is the president suggesting that the mother special investment -- mueller special investigation is a waste of money? sec. sanders: i think the president has been clear throughout this process -- that is not the own investigation that has taken place. congress has spent a great deal of time on this, a better par

sanders: see, you have friends helping you out. [laughter] and you did not think anyone likes you here, john. >> i have john's back. is the president considering dropping the amount of pretax contributions that americans can put into the 401(k)? it seems as if this whole issue is up for negotiation. does the president support taking the $18,000 to a level and potentially lowering that? sec. sanders: as i said earlier this week, the president wants to continue to fight and push for protection of americans' retirement, and that hasn't changed, but i'm not going to negotiate any deals beyond that. that is the president's position, and that is the same today as it was earlier this week. >> there have been a number of politicians over the past week, including chris christie at the white house yesterday, who said rob mueller should step aside from certain investigations at the special counsel. does the president share those views? sec. sanders: the president wants to see this completed. we think that we are continuing to see day in, day

sanders: if you want to go after general kelly, that is up to you. if you want to get into a debate with a four-star marine general i think that is highly inappropriate. reporter: when president spoke at the cia building in january, in front of the stars representing cia agents who had fallen and been killed in the line of duty, he talked about himself. he talked about fake news attacking him. he talked about the mlk controversy. he talked about crowd size. that wasn't anders: event set to memorialize those individuals. that was a celebration talking about the transfer of power. it is two very different events. if you look at the president's comments at events like the 9/11 ceremony earlier this year, those were very somber. those were focused specifically on those events. those are not even apples to apples. that's not a fair comparison. reporter: thank you. putting the congresswoman aside a second, i want to focus on what the mother of sergeant johnson said. she felt the president disrespected

>> secretary sanders: was a volunteer on the campaign.nd a volunteer member of an advisory council that met one time. >> reporter: 's activities were entirely of his invention, no one asked them to do any of these things, is that what you are telling the american public? >> secretary sanders: i am telling you he was a volunteer member of an advisory council that met one time. >> reporter: there were two coepisodes in which people associated with the campaign at a high level, george papadopoulos is a member of a foreign policy or military advisory committee, sought dirt on hillary clinton for people representing themselves linked to or associated with the russian government, is that a coincidence? >> secretary sanders: the only interaction i'm aware of that deals with this individual was him reaching out and being repeatedly denied. that's all i can tell you. he asked to do things, he was pushed back or not responded to in any way. any actions he took would have been on his own and you have to ask him about those because i can answer. >> r

sanders: he does. reporter: since those reporter: since those -- ms. sanders: i believe so. i have to verify. reporter: it's a very sad day in this country. you mentioned at the top the president said in his remarks he said when he goes out to las vegas he's going to meet with first responders and in addition to that families of the victims that were impacted by this. what's the message to each of those groups when he goes out there? ms. sanders: i think it's very simple to say that his goal is simply to be there. to show the support of people from around the country. and to stand united in not only this act of evil but against all acts of evil. and i think that was clear in the president's remarks today. and something that you'll see his visit on wednesday. his vi. reporter: following up. the president tweeted, is it the position of the white house that you are trying to get back to talks or given up? ms. sanders: we have been clear now is not the time to talk. the only conversations that have taken place or that would would be on bringing back americans who have been detai

sanders: absolutely. general kelly said he was stunned that representative wilson made remarks about her own action in congress, including lobbying president congress -- president obama for funding. you arekelly said if making it about yourself you are an empty barrel. if you don't understand that, as we say in the south, all caps and no capital. >> she was not talking about securing 21 million dollars. choose talking about naming the building. she then went on to effusive lee praise, and that was the bulk of the speech. had quites: she also a few comments that they that were part of that video that were also witnessed by many people that were there. what general kelly referenced yesterday. exactly what he said. there was a lot of grandstanding. he was stunned she took that opportunity to make about can he cannotter: hear talk to us? ms. sanders: the address that thoroughly yesterday. reporter: he was wrong yesterday. ms. sanders: if you want to go after general kelly, that is up to you. if you want to ge

sanders: absolutely. general kelly said he was stunned that representative wilson made remarks about her own actions in congress, including lobbying president obama on legislation. making an action with american heroes about yourself you are an empty barrel. , if you don't understand that reference, i will put a little more simply. as we say in the south, all hats and no cattle. reporter: when she was talking about what she did in congress, she was not talking about securing $21 million. she was talking about naming the building. fbi agents, who she then went on to effusively praise, and that was the bulk of the speech. ms. sanders: she also had quite a few comments that day that weren't part of that speech and video that were also witnessed by many people that were there. what general kelly referenced yesterday. reporter: tell us specifically. ms. sanders: exactly what he said. there was a lot of grandstanding. he was stunned she took that opportunity to make it about herself. reporter: can he not be her

>> press secretary sanders: i think it's real simple.ou guys are the ones talking a lot about that story, and he felt it was important to address you and all of america directly. this story has been given an enormous amount of coverage over the last 48 hours, and he thought it was important people got a full and accurate picture of what took place. that was a personal decision he made that he wanted to come out and not your share with you but share with all of america and make an appeal to america to go back and honor that sacred code of gold star families. >> reporter: the question that president was asked earlier today, -- >> press secretary sanders: just to finish on the rest of your question, why the president felt the need to respond? because it should have ended yesterday after general kelly's comments, but it didn't. it still continuing today. it's still the bulk of the coverage of every tv you turn on and almost every newspaper that you open up today. the president responded to those continued accusations and continued mischaract

>> secretary sanders: yes.has spoken on this. >> former president jimmy carter offered his ability as a go-between it to the north korean regime, in the hopes of resolving the differences between this countries and pyongyang. he has a history with the current leader in north korea, and his grandfather and a 94. is the administration in contact with resident carter, and it doesn't have any plans to use him as a go-between or an envoy to pyongyang? >> secretary sanders: i don't think that is part of our process at this time, if that changes, we will certainly let you know. but is not a part of our current plan or thinking on how to deal with north korea. >> i have a 401(k) question. >> secretary sanders: and you didn't think anybody here like to you. >> is the present considering dropping of the tax contributions that americans are putting into their 401(k)? at about a $18,000 does the present support taking that and potentially lowering it? >> secretary sanders: he wants to push for protection of americans retir

sanders 12. sanders number 12, so proponent is recognized for 30 seconds. >> mr. chairman on behalf of myself and senator sanders and senator van hollen, this would restore the $1 trillion in cuts to medicaid that is in this budget proposal and it would do that by reducing the tax breaks for the top 1% of the wealthiest in america. thy truth of the matter is that the majority of seniors in michigan get their nursing home care through medicaid. children, families all impacted with no way that any common sense will tell you that cutting a trillion dollars out of medicaid is not a cut. we know that's a cut. it's certainly has been proposed in other ways. twice coming before this body in terms of gutting the healthcare system twice. it is been voted against or opposed by the majority of members and it's surprising to me that it shows up again in this budget resolution, so i urge a guest vote to protect seniors and nursing home and children and families that count on medicaid. >> for reasons i stated earlier, i oppose the amendment. does the senator won a roll call? >>

senator sanders: i call up sanders' amendment number 2. this amendment is simple, straightforward. it simply creates a budget point -- medicare, medicaid or social security. as i think we all know, the republican budget provides 80% according to various studies about 80% of the tax breaks will go to the top 1%, that's 1.9 trillion in tax breaks over a 10-year period going to the top 1%. but this republican budget also makes massive cuts to medicaid, a trillion dollars, throwing some 15 million people off of the health insurance they have. and massive cuts to medicare over $473 billion. the president interestingly enough, mr. chairman, i think everybody here remembers that when donald trump ran for president, one of the tenets of his campaign is that he was a different type of republican and was not going to cut social security, medicare and medicaid. on april 18, 2015, trump said, every republican wants to do a big number on social security and medicare and medicaid and we can't do that and it's not fair to the people who have been paying in for years. and now all of a sudden, they

got over i think i actually think the vast majority of the people in the democratic party bernie sanders supporters hillary clinton supporters who are borders are actually over it if you look at the primaries that have happened over the last several years several months democratic party primaries and lots of people voted for barack bernie sanders are voting for moderate candidates john aasif one amongst millennium goals they came a large large but he was one of those in georgia he lost he lost but he was a moderate candidate who a lot of sandor supporters voted for and they i think downtime has never been more unifying amongst democrats and you see bernie sanders reporters hillary clinton supporters all voting for democrats and a lot of moderates winning and a lot of progress as well as any resolution in the body to change the leadership of the national level is there because congresswoman carol.

some loose talk show hillary clinton during the campaign i'm not angry i i have applauded senator sanders work over the last year as a vehement champion of the affordable care act he has done rallies around the country those have been those have been exceptionally helpful i think he's done critical critical work to say this is a sense they're going to pay since the election but what about doing you said you drove a lot of hillary clinton's negatives. i mean we had a right we had to do a lot of it we had a very hard fought primary i think ted cruz drove negatives for donald trump because he was running against him bernie sanders drove negatives really because he was running against her i think that's that is a fact i'm not saying it's like her numbers were only because of bernie sanders or anything like that let's look at israel because he tried to change the platform for the democratic party on israel didn't he but he did but he was highly critical of what he called israeli brutality but the platform ended up with not a mention of the occupation but fifty is this year and. that is true th

>> well anderson, sarah sanders hinted at the fact that he didn't. and my colleague ran this down further and found that general kelly and other staffers in the white house were caught off guard when president trump originally brought general kelly and the story of his son. he was killed in afghanistan into this mix. remember, trump said you can ask my chief of staff, you can ask kelly about how he never got a phone call from obama. as you pointed out, kelly have taken great pains at trying to keep his son's death a private issue. a lot of members were surprised to see the president come out and talk in public about it like that. >> a statement was drafted for the president to give a statement after the four sergeants were killed. what's the white house saying about that? >> one of the perplexing things about this anderson, has been the president's silence, why he waited two weeks and had to be asked about it before making a comment on this. when talking to white house officials about this they said look they got the information from the nfc, they tr

what sarah sanders said today clearly doesn't make any sense. she needs to come out herself and apologize for what she said. >> i'll say just one more thing on this. the thing that gives the u.s. military an edge, unlike a lot of other militaries in the world where you're not allowed to question the generals, there is a culture in our military of holding responsible people for their actions and their words. of taking accountability. of learning from mistakes. evolving and adapting. that's what makes our military special. so when sarah sanders suggests that you have to just take as given anything that someone like john kelly says, she's talking about not the first rate military of the united states, but third rate militaries of other countries. >> stand by, jake. we have more to discuss. there are other developments unfolding right now. we'll take a quick break. we'll be right back. when you're close to the people you love, does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touching moment? if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, you can embrace the chanc

david: as we wait, sir huckabee's sanders coming out -- sarah huckabee sanders coming out. bring you heard remarks as soon as she starts on bloomberg television. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ this is bloomberg markets, balance of power. the whiteomments from house secretary. there is the briefing room. sarah huckabee sanders expected to come out to talk about what we learned today. that will be the focus, these two indictments we learned about. --erts -- robert mueller's the implications of policy agenda could be catastrophic. he is still with us to talk about the fate and future of president trump's agenda. this is a tape -- tight timeline. this is a condensed calendar. how much does an event like this , and we are still learning what will happen as a result, does it affect how finely tuned things are on the white house -- on the white house? >> how many phone calls do you get on repatriation? >> probably none. >> of course it will distract. leadership have come out that say -- saying tax reform is a priority. if i was a republican member of congress, i would be thinking you have

when bernie sanders was running for president everybody thought bernie sanders was doing a larry davidrsonation. >>> this bar tender has raked in $278,000 winning in his seventh consecutive game last night. >> but it got dicey during final jeopardy, the final category, america plays. the latitude and longitude given by the narrator of this 1938 play would set it in massachusetts, not new hampshire. the correct answer a was "our town." and his response was better, "what is a taco." >> that is better. "what is a taco." >> that is better. soon, you may want more than parts a and b here's why. medicare only covers about 80% of your part b medical expenses. the rest is up to you. you might want to consider an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. like any medicare supplement insurance plan, these help pick up some of what medicare doesn't pay. and, these plans let you choose any doctor or hospital that accepts medicare patients. you could stay with the doctor or specialist you trust... or go with someone new. twork... because there aren't an

he has a question for you, senator sanders. >> senator sanders, over my lifetime we've seen more government and more expenses cutting taxes from tot to bottom, then we'll give relief to the burdensome expenses all americans face. why would you not want a tax cut across the board for all americans? >> i do want a tax cut for the middle class and working families, but when the top 1/10 of 1% owns as much wealth as the bottom 90%, when you have a handful of people with incredible wealth and power, no, i'm afraid i will not support tax breaks for billionaires. i don't know if you were there when president trump -- were you there when president trump came to pennsylvania? >> i was. >> president trump was touting, as i understand it the repeal of the estate tax, something that senator cruz supports. that's why he was there, correct? let's talk about the repeal of the estate tax. the only people who benefit from that are the top 2/10 of 1%. 99.8% of the people do not pay a nibbli nickel in estate taxes. ted, there are 80 of theme in the united states. the overwhelming majority of beneficiaries of

sara sanders was asked about that.und and said as far as she sees it it's just the news media putting out things that are fabricated. do you think that what george bush said fell on deaf ears at the white house? or it's just something they want want to touch because it was so scathing for president trump? >> i think the latter. i think what you could see there and we'll see if the president backs her up in the hours and days to come as we watch his twitter feed and interviews and public appearances. his two most recent predecessors in this job with the full credibility of having served eight years in that position, and they made scathing critiques of trumpism, if you will. and she didn't want to go there. she just said we're going to take them at their word that they weren't speaking about president trump because they didn't name him and in the past, they've been blunt and would mention his name. that's great if they want to think that way, but it is impossible for anybody who heard either former president's remarks to

you heard sarah sanders say he still has the president's support. we've got an ace team in place to walk us through this news-packed friday. we have to start this hour over at the white house because hallie was inside that briefing asking some of the questions, and i have no better understanding right now, hallie jackson, than i did last night when i first heard it what the president means by "calm before the storm." i do know that for a lot of people who were listening, it seemed pretty ominous. sarah sanders sort of just almost being dismissive of it but not rejecting it as something that was teasing the press. >> reporter: right. listen, chris, if it was cryptic 18 hours ago, it is still cryptic at this moment in time. sarah sanders did nothing to shed any light on what the president was talking about and that was very intentional. she had plenty of opportunities to and said repeatedly -- and this is a line we have heard from the podium before, that the president doesn't want to foreshadow actions that he may take. the question is why the preside

>> really, as sarah huckabee sanders usually goes the other way. but on a bipartisan basis, presidents typically are trying to contain information in the executive branch. that's the usual behavior. so for the president to be encouraging this. and, look, there is a difference between him saying this is what he would like to see and giving a direct order. >> saying do it. >> that's right. and this is not crossed into that territory. nonetheless, when you are over in doj you know what the president wants, and you undoubtedly if it's plausible and reasonable to do t it's one more item on the scale in favor of that transparency. so i would note that going forward this kind of transparency is an expectation now that the trump administration is setting. so in it's first year of its first term, i think it's pretty noteworthy to see this sort of position being taken by the president. >> and you nodded on the transparency note. what do you think of what ken just said? >> well, i think that the president simply does not seem to understand the boundaries betw

>> well, anderson, sarah sanders sort of hinted at the fact that he didn't.own further and found that general kelly and other staffers in the white house were really caught off guard when president trump originally brought general kelly and the story of his son who was killed in afghanistan into this mix. remember, trump said you can ask my chief of staff. you can ask kelly about how he never got a phone call from obama. and as you pointed out, kelly has taken great pains to kind of keep the story of his son and his son's death a private issue. so a number of people over here at the white house were surprised to see the president come out and talk about it publicly like that, particularly in this context. >> and earlier today politico reported that the white house drafted a statement for the president to give expressing condolences almost immediately after the four service members were killed but he never issued the statement and chose to make no comments forth 125 days. what is the white house saying about that. >> one of the perplexing is the president's si

bernie sanders, zero times. elizabeth warren, zero times. they tweeted about russia over 30 times, sanders and warren. and to approximate cnn's own coverage, your obsession with russia, i know the high-horse calvary loves to run in and talk about it after the tragedies, but let's have a conversation. the more information we can get the better. i am tired, so i apologize in advance, a lot of this doesn't wash. >> what is that? >> all you need to know is it's legal. that's all you need to know about it. of course it was the obama administration. don't cheapen what happened in las vegas. >> don't go there to get the sound bite. >> i will go there and here's why. when a pan caman came out with 16-year-old daughter who lost his wife, and he wants to know the same -- >> i said let's have the conversation. >> the president said not now. it never happens. you make the point yourself, you say they don't talk about it except when these happen. that's right. when it happens there's focus, and when you say we don't want to talk about it now -- >> i didn

democratic party primaries lots of people who voted for barack bernie sanders are voting for moderate candidates john aasif one amongst millennium goals they came that large large but he was one of those in georgia he lost he lost but he was a moderate candidate who a lot of sandor supporters voted for and they i think down time has never been more unifying in the next democrats and you see bernie sanders supporters helical his supporters all voting for democrats and a lot of moderates winning and a lot of progress is what is the right question the body to change the leadership at the national level is that is there because congresswoman kathleen rice she said the entire democratic leadership team should go linda sanchez just reported in the paper so you know house democratic splits it in wanting the house minority leader nancy pelosi to step so yes i would tell them to pass it to actually at same time i mean this is up to the members of congress the democratic house members and the democratic senate members to decide who their leaders are but yet suppose he did would stand a challeng

sanders: we have been clear now is not the time to talk. the only conversations that have taken place or that would would be on bringing back americans who have been detained like with otto. those are the type of conversations this administration was willing to have. beyond that there will be no conversation was north korea at this time. there are three americans still

we're here with our friend senator bernie sanders.fore the break, i'm trying to get you to say something nice about donald trump. he's been in office for nine months, something like that now. is there something nice you could say about president trump? >> uh... ( laughter ) >> stephen: would you like me to go first? >> yeah, why don't you go first? >> stephen: he still has all his teeth-- ( laughter ) --or someone's teeth. he has someone's teeth. anything? >> yeah, i mean-- ( laughter ) uh-- >> stephen: i want to warn our affiliates, we might be going long. ( piano riff ) ( laughter ) >> well, let's say this, he has talked about taking on the pharmaceutical industry and lowering the very, very high cost of prescription drugs in this country, and he is right to make the point that the drug companies are ripping us off in a terrible, terrible way. so president trump, that's what you said during the campaign, let's go forward together and do that. >> stephen: he also agrees with you on infrastructure. >> that's right. the president said,

senator sanders number 25. >> mr.chairman i filed sanders amendment number 25 i ask unanimous consent that senator be listed as a primary sponsor them in the niv listed as the co-sponsor and senator murphy be recognized. >> thank you mr. chairman. this would create a deficit nature reserve fund that would create jobs by investing in trillion dollars to rebuild our tumbling infrastructure paid for by closing tax loopholes that incentivize corporations to shift jobs overseas. this supports two of the goals of president trump has often advocated for, rebuilding america's infrastructure and keeping american manufacturing jobs in america. therefore it merits the support of every member of this committee. further comments in support? in that case i would say this amendment would create a deficit natural reserve by increased infrastructure problem -- programs by unspecified tax increase. that's the job of another committee. i believe the majority of my colleagues in the senate are adjusted and enhancing american infrastructu

>> that goes back to what sarah sanders was saying, this has knock to do with us as a campaign. >> it may have nothing to do with the campaign. but it has everything to do with the campaign. again, you have to look at this in light of the plea today, what they're trying to do is put paul manafort in a position, where he's going to be subject to many years in prison, and he's got only two choices here, he can go to trial, be convicted and go away for a long period of time, or he can cooperate with the government and tell them everything i knows about that june 9th meeting at trump tower. about his dealings with roger stone, who recommended him to be the campaign manager. he can tell him what he knows about the efforts to get e-mails from the russians. those are his choices, it's not going to do him any good to be pardoned by donald trump either. the way this indictment is set up, it's money laundering, which is a new york state crime many so if donald trump came in here and pardoned him, he would have a choice, it's either rikers island or federal prison? which would you take? >> we ha

we are talking to senator bernie sanders and ted cruz.ght to another audience question. the question comes from a student at florida state university. and she has a question for senator cruz. >> senator cruz, recent projections estimate that the tax currently under considers would at $2.3 trillion to the debt over the next ten years. what steps will you take to ensure that the tax reform doesn't add to the debt burden my generation is already facing? >> well, thank you for that question. it's a very good question. listen, when it comes to the deficit and debt it is immoral the debt we have. when barak obama was elected the national debt was 10 trillion. today it's 20 trillion. one president doubled what it was before. that's a big part of why i ran for senate. now, how do you turn the debt around? i'll tell you, the only force big enough to turn the debt around is economic growth. congress is not going to cut spending enough to bring the debt around. economic growth from 2008 to today, economic growth has averaged 1.2% a year. it's been m

liz: look at that, bernie sanders was left speechless, he stood his ground in face of bernie sanders,ax cut, john conrad is that man he is with me now, good to see you. >> thank you. >> it is clear you understand that small businesses respect their income on income tax returns. 2/3s of small businesses do that, you get it, does bernie sanders get it. >> yeah, he is always talking about 1%. and whether people feel they should be tacked or not. -- taxed or not, people they earned that money, they work for it, in a pay majority of taxes any way, a tax cut across board would be fair. liz: you are first man in this country who left berndt bern speecbernie sandersspeechless. top 10%, they pay about 70% of total income revenue, politicians who preach like bernie sanders, you know not paying their fair share, i think they are ignore a ignorant of te facts. >> i agree, all they want is you know worlds free, they use word free, there nothing free in this world, we have to work for it whether you are a small the business owner, an employee at a small company, a minimum wageworker or a ceo of a f

and to have that totally false impression between sanders labeling clinton and g.o.p. obsession with her emails both which were lavishly covered the clinton campaign was defined negatively. it was and that they had no message now it was delivered as the emails scandal. [applause] >> to get the full story. but to move on but to broaden that out a little bit. that is the indictment of the of media. with msnbc or the "washington post." that they created a portion that is a likable. and how you show that impression went to be a piece of news. and i just remember a 1.why do people this like you so much? but i would like to know what you think has a media critic and billionth philosopher why do you think the media took this approach?. >> it requires an answer. the way the media is inspired by the g.o.p.. going back to the clinton presidency that the world is rightfully theirs taken over by a bunch of liberals. where hillary later described at the time it turned out to be pretty damn true. but the g.o.p. got into the habit to ferret out whatever they could that could not be t

because what sarah sanders is saying from the white house podium doesn't hold water.y this is significant because here in black and white, while the white house press secretary says this has nothing to do with the campaign, absolutely nothing to do with it, here it is. this person was working for the campaign and is setting up meetings for the campaign to interact with people who have relations with russian officials or people that are connected to the russian government in order to have a relationship to get russia's depier to get some hillary clinton dirt. they had thousands of e-mails, they say, into the political bloodstream to hem donald trump, so what we've learned from months ago and all my colleagues have report, that this is an effort to help hillary clinton and harm donald trump, this is that effort that we're seeing in black an white. for sarah sanders to say this is nothing to do with the campaign, nothing to do with the facts. >> your a national security attorney general, how do these papadopoulos communications line up with the public's understanding of

sanders: speaking in opposition to the hatch amendment, mr. president, the amendment from the senator from utah speaks about, ,quote-unquote, strengthening and improving, end of quote, medicaid and medicare. you don't strengthen and improve medicaid by cutting it by $1 trillion. and you don't strengthen and improve medicare by cutting it by $469 billion. that's an orwellian language. we should vote down this amendment and pass the sanders amendment which says let us give no tax breaks to billionaires while we cut medicaid. the presiding officer: the question is on the amendment. is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the clerk will call the roll. vote: vote:
