sanders: ms.nthia murray think you very much printed senator brown. >> i would like to give up my time. >> thank you., i recently come from this very discussion free to build a business over 37 years before i became a senator. and as you can see, this discussion is god dichotomy to its pretty you've got wall street and big business on one side and you've got main street on the other side. my question is going to be for carl sobocinski in a moment but the fact that he made the point earlier that we are rushing this through in a one-size-fits-all, like the federal government does on almost everything, is missing the mark. were made up of 50 states. were made up of businesses that were mostly small in this country. in this whole discussion of trying to raise a minimum wage, all of us as business owners inspired to do that and we do it within all the tools we have to keep good employees. and make sure that they work for us for a long time and if you just look on main street, that is happening. what wo

neera. >> i thank you chairman sanders.anking member graham and members of the committee i am humbled and honored to be here today as president biden's nominee to serve as director of the office of management and budget. chairman sanders, i am grateful for your visionary leadership and ranking member graham, i look forward to working with you, if i have the privilege of being confirmed. i want to begin by thanking senators booker and klobuchar for their gracious introductions and also want to recognize two members of my family are here with me today. my husband, ben, and my daughter, lina as well as two who aren't my son, jaden, and my mother, maya. i owe my presence here today to their support and the grit and resilience of my mother. an immigrant from india who was left to make it on her own in america with two young children after her divorce from my father. back then, she faced a harsh choice. stay in the united states and rely on the social safety net or return to india where she knew her children would face the stigma

congratulations to you, chairman sanders and to your banking member graham. the budget committee can be a central place for debating and discussing and acting on the big issues of our day. to miss tanden, congratulations on your nomination. in selecting you president biden has picked somebody who has both deep and wide policy expertise and a life story that shows how the government can help families when they are most in need and provide a springboard to success, so i look forward to working with you on these issues. i've heard earlier in this debate a reference to the rise in per capita income over the last year, and i think it's important that we recognize that often references to per capita income can be very misleading, so, for example, if jeff bezos had moved to baltimore city in 2020 the per capita income in baltimore city would have tripled to $53,000 a year to $175,000 a year even though nobody was any better off as a result, so i hope as we debate these issues going forward we'll remember, that and my question relates to this tale of two economies an

senator bernie sanders chaired the meeting. this is about two hours. she's right. these rooms are too cold. >> okay. everybody else who is with us virtually and i'm delighted for the very first meeting of the budget committee. we are here today for the nomination of neera tanden to become the next director of the office of management and budget. we all know that it is extremely important. it is responsible for preparing the president's budget for reviewing federal regulations and for providing the proper oversight of federal agencies. no small tasks. for the past ten years, ms. tanden has served as the president and ceo of the center for american progress. prior to that, she worked in the united states senate as a legislative director and served in the obama and clinton administrations as a senior domestic policy adviser. good morning, ms. tanden, and thanks very much for being with us. before i go further, let me mention that we have some new members of this committee and let me welcome senators padilla, romney to the budget committee. this committee has very broa

take that billionaire criticizer bernie sanders. honestly it's hard to feel so sorry for sanders. he knew what was happening. he did know this if nothing else. sanders knew the real divide in this country isn't race. it's not sex. the real divide is class. and bernie sanders used to say that out loud but in the end he was too much of a coward to criticize identity politics. he wanted to ride the wave so he played along. big mistake. now, inevitably he's been denounced as privileged. of course, that was going to happen. what's so interesting, and here's what you should meditate on. who is not being denounced as privileged? who has white privilege and who doesn't? we know that beef cops who risk their lives have white privilege, a ton of it? firemen have it? guys who hang drywall, anyone who doesn't take nancy pelosi seriously has white privilege. what about bill gates? does he have white privilege? when is the last time he had white privilege or jeff bezos or sorrows or any active political billionaire? never. it's possible that billionaires have paid for studies proving they don't

senator bernie sanders is with us.ou look better than i've seen you look in a long time, you look really good. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. >> jimmy: have you been vaccinated? >> i have, actually. >> jimmy: we've been focused on covid for obvious reasons but it seems attention has drifted away from health care, which is, of course, they're kind of one and the same, and so many people have died as a result of covid-19. i hope and expect that joe biden made you some promises in the area of health care in exchange for your enthusiastic support. >> well, the president and i have differences of opinion on health care. i do support medicare for all. i do think it's absurd that when we are spending twice as much per capita on health care as any other major country, we've got 90 million people who are uninsured or underinsured, 60,000 people die every year because they don't get to a doctor when they should, in some times we're playing 10 times more for prescription drugs than they do in canada and some other countrie

watch him especially but also bernie sanders. it is a pretty diverse group of democrats they have to keep on the same page, all have different concerns. but you also have the white house eager to have the bill have a look of bipartisanship. recognizing not going to get ten votes but want some votes from republicans and may have to make changes in order for that to happen. maybe not dramatic but i think you'll see a lot from the white house pushing on republican governors to put pressure on republican senators to support state and local aid in this package for example. and i think that's going to be one of the big pushes from the white house to try to get a few of the republican senators in the room with joe biden on monday and after that meeting they concluded we're not going to get all ten but they want some of them. that's going to be interesting how they shape that package in way they don't lose bernie sanders in that process. >> nbc's alley vitali and matt vooizer of the "washington post," thanks for starting us off. >>> stil

bernie sanders said he will keep trying.t to raise that minimum wage to $15 a hour. and as chairman of the budget committee we have a room full of lawyers working as hard as we could to make to the case to the parliamentarian, that in fact raising the minimum wage will have significant budget implications and, in fact, should be consistent with reconciliation rules. i have to get through the parliamentarian and then get 50 votes in support of raising that minimum wage to $15 an hour. >> reporter: this gets pretty complicated because in order to pass something through reconciliation it does have to prove that it impacts the basic bottom line of the federal budget. bernie sanders saying there that he has a team of lawyers who are ready to prove that and that is something sanders and others of the minimum age hike have said through reconciliation but joe biden said over the weekend in then interview with cbs that he didn't think that it would make it through this round of reconciliation but a $15 minimum wage is something that

host: senator bernie sanders a long-term supporter of raising the minimum wage. among those also pushing the raise the wage act, norma torres from california. "$7.25 is with the government expects you to live on. we should raise it to at least $15. the raise the wage act is a long-overdue overdue step in that fight." on the other site of the aisle this was congressman kevin brady, republican from texas. "$156,000, a texas small business at minimum wage would pay $156,000 more a year under the same mandate. no new revenue, just huge costs. goodbye to small business jobs." phone lines are split by age and we have a special line for small business owners. this is angela, cleveland, ohio. caller: good morning. i wanted to respond to your first caller, i believe bob from texas, who was in favor of raising the federal minimum wage. he said everything is going up, up, up, and he needs to realize once this becomes effective it is going to go up even further and they are still going to be left behind. two -- host: what is the answer, angela? caller: what is the answer? i

sanders: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from vermont. mr. sanders: mr. president, i rise today to speak in support of budget resolution that was introduced today. mr. president, let us be clear and let us in the senate understand what the american people know all too well, and that is that our country is currently experiencing the worst economic crisis since the great depression and the worst public health emergency in over 100 years. january marked the deadliest month of the pandemic with over 90,000 americans losing their lives as a result of covid-19. 90,000 americans in one month. in the midst of all of this, over 90 million americans are uninsured or underinsured and are unable to afford to go to a doctor when they become ill. the isolation and the anxiety caused by this pandemic has resulted in a horrible increase in mental illness, in depression, in anxiety, and in suicidal ideation. mr. president, today as we speak, over half of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, including millions of essential workers who put their lives on the line eac

that of course bernie sanders doesn't care about republicans. bernie sanders doesn't care about democrats but he wants us shall act in neil marxism that is his guiding principle. and that will crush the economy, believe me. i know somewhere in president biden's heart he once the economy to do well for he has said that, he wants hunter to do well. hunter can't do well if we are leading a global recession and all of the funds in china and saudi arabia, god know where else up. >> this is it pretty make fun of bernie sanders mittens, ha ha it's a joke. the fact his assignment anything that's a joke. i think we've got to get serious. he may look cute sitting in a stage but he's talking about things of harm american families for generations to come. but generations to come for these are real issues sprayed the top line number matters, kennedy but the policy matters. we can't go down the road of going down the road of making it hard for businesses to grow and hire for that is the one thing that will work this year, the only thing that will work as a bu

symone sanders is here.'s a senior adviser and chief spokesperson for vice president kamala harris, who took part in the meeting. symone, it's good to see you. >> don, how are you? it's good to see you as well. happy black history month. >> you took the words out of my mouth. happy black history month. i appreciated the president's statement today. it's good to see you. let's talk about this. we have 89% of americans say it is extremely important to pass a major covid-19 relief bill. 86% say the same about expanding vaccinations, testing, ppe. that's according to political harvard school of public health poll. does president biden want to do something that's more popular or something that gets maybe one or two republican senators whose support is more important to him? >> well, don, frankly president biden is focused on getting relief that americans so urgently need. you know, today's meeting was a good substantive and productive meeting with republican senators for the president and vice president. and whil

as i understand, senator sanders will come after i speak. i'll talk 10 or 15 minutes and then we'll get on with the process of voting. so to the american people who may be watching, what is this all about? this is an effort by the -- my democratic colleagues supported by president biden to pass $1.9 trillion in covid relief through a budget process that requires only 50 votes. it goes around the idea of bipartisanship. and i would say this. i think all of us would like unity. i think president biden has said all the right things at his inauguration. the question is are we going to do more than talk about unity. i can understand having reconciliation used for obamacare, for taxes. you all did that. we did that. the big philosophical differences. but this was the one area there was bipartisanship up until recently. this is the one area where the congress has been able to work together across party lines and that's providing relief to the american people who have been long-suffering under the covid pandemic. so i find it odd that if our goal is

i heard senator sanders say a few things.hopeful, i hold back a little bit thinking that this is going to go exactly a bipartisan way. todd: let's go through this. it seems focused to me, $600 billion in total, let's from through some of the highlights. you have the money for covid related issues, healthcare spending. you have the $300 per week federal unemployment benefits through june. and then you have $1,000 stimulus payments. however, it's focused on individuals making $50,000, $100,000 for families. making sure it doesn't give money to those who are making $500,000 a year or something like that. wouldn't this plan accomplish the goal of helping those who absolutely need it the most with a much smaller price tag. >> absolutely. we need to focus on small businesses and individuals and workers that are suffering. we don't need to look at a broad-based, broad brush stroke to bail out states that made decisions in the past. this is a price tag that the biden administration has on this. it's going to put our kids into debt. t

bertsch any sanders is resisting going even more restrictive. when you have berliny sanders and joe biden on the same page, they should be able to get on the page. the stimulus check area is how that gets targeted. for the moment, they pretty much are. they don't have much room for error at this point but they do seem pretty united and pushing as ali outlined. from the white house they're looking at the first week in match as their sort of goal for passing this stimulus package. >> what's the mood like on capitol hill in terms of being able to hit the timeline? do people seem confident that they can say i got you a good package? >> i don't know that the word is confident but i think there's a deep need and b a necessity for them to do just that. there are a few areas of agreement here especially when you look at things like vaccine distribution. a lieutenant of things have become politicized. you talked about the minimum wage. the thing that there is consensus on and you see this from, for example, the bipartisan caucus in the house is that fund

senator bernie sanders getting ready, signaling that democrats are willing to go it alone.ntroduce a bill that would speed up passage this have thing in the senate, that's happening today. let me bring in leigh ann caldwell who is on capitol hill, peter alexander is at the white house. leigh ann, talk to us about what senator sanders is trying to get the ball rolling on basically. >> reporter: well, hallie, first this meeting last night with republicans, senator susan collins called it excellent. she indicated that perhaps there are some areas that they could compromise, perhaps on this -- maybe not the size of the stimulus check, but perhaps who receives the stimulus check. you know, these are biden's people, lawmakers who really enjoyed talking to the senators, these senators enjoyed talking with them, but the big question is is there room for compromise as they move forward because they're still extremely far apart, including on this issue of state and local funding where the biden administration and democrats want $300 billion which is something that republicans haven't

bernie sanders probably doesn't know how to get ahold of joe manchin.was sitting in west virginia and saw the vice president of the united states a couple days ago giving an interview to the local station saying we're going to go without republicans. and she says i saw that interview is. i couldn't believe it. no one called me. try to find a bipartisan pathway forward. that doesn't sound like a guy sign off on a socialist who makes sure everyone gets their money and the rich pay their fair share. steve: maybe we will end up actually seeing some bipartisan on negotiation. brian: my hope. steve: the it republicans are 600 billion. the democrats are saying 1.9 trillion. maybe they will meet in the middle somewhere. yesterday jared berntsen the white house economic says people could care less about the budget process reconciliation or regular orders. really, when it comes down to it, ainsley, to your original point. the average american just cares about that check. they are going to get a check in the mail. they don't care how they get it. ' all right. mean

in just a moment i'll talk with senator bernie sanders.e's the new chairman of the senate budget committee. he was in that meeting with the president earlier today. but first let's go up to capitol hill. our congressional correspondent ryan nobles is joining us. ryan, we're standing by to learn the outcome of this really critical meeting of house republicans. what are you learning so far? >> reporter: well, wolf, the one thing we know for sure is that that meeting is still ongoing. more than two hours it has been as republicans have been behind closed doors hashing out their differences. we're told that it has been heated at times and that there are still many republican members of congress who want to speak about their issues with the current state of the party. on capitol hill a day of reckoning for republicans. the house gop meeting today behind closed doors with the fate of two high-profile members hanging in the balance. the party grappling with the fallout from freshman congresswoman marjorie taylor greene's controversial statements.

it is a committee that senator bernie sanders ironically chairs. listening to her testimony, chairing that committee. you heard him say during that hearing, he said, these weren't just republicans that you attacked. you attacked people i worked with, you attacked me. we saw neera tanden apologize for that and promised senator sanders that her behavior would be different going forward, that it would be far more bipartisan and also welcoming to different points of view as they moved forward and she really tried to make amends for that within that hearing, but the fact remains, brianna, she's got adversaries w within the democrat and republican party. a lot of fractures there. >> yeah. indeed. jessica, thank you for that report live from capitol hill. >>> next, a capitol hill officer breaks his silence saying rioters called him a racial slur. we will hear his chilling story. >>> plus senators grilling the man president biden picked for attorney general. hear what made him emotional during his testimony. for as little as $25 a month. but it gets crazie

jon: wasn't it bernie sanders who actually hone mind in moscow?fact, the critical factor here in addition to senator manchin may be bernie sanders because it sounds like he is not going to support her either. he issued a tweet, i believe, after her testimony saying that describing her tweets attacking him as vicious. and, of course, she is very dlots clintons, so she was not really friendly to bernie sanders in 2016. and he has a long memory in that sense. jon: investigator journalist peter chowka. thank you. >> thanks, jon. jon: we will be back in just a moment. ♪ if you have risk factors like heart disease, diabetes and raised triglycerides,... ...vascepa can give you something to celebrate. ♪ vascepa, when added to your statin,... ...is clinically proven to provide 25% lower risk from heart attack and stroke. vascepa is clearly different. first and only fda approved. celebrate less risk. even for those with family history. ♪ don't take vascepa if you are... ...or become allergic to icosapent ethyl or any inactive ingredient in vascepa. serious

he's right, senator sanders. when we had this authority, we cut your taxes through budget resolution. that's what we did. it's not like republicans haven't used this process. democrats used it pretty much to pass obamacare. but this is one area where there has been pretty much common view of things. taxes are different between republicans and democrats. how you -- who decides what health care you get. there are some people like my good friend from vermont that wants single-payer health care. that's one way of doing it. i just disagree. everything is about trying to help people. i don't doubt the motives. i just doubt where we're headed is a good outcome for the american people. so the bottom line is up until now, we have had bipartisanship when it comes to covid relief. the reason that bipartisanship has stopped is because we have one-party control of the united states senate, the house, and the white house. and here's what i think. that's going to end not well because it's not like we don't want to help people.

so if you wonder how big it can get think about bernie sanders being in the chair, the priorities aretaxing wealth, taxing businesses and taxing people that make a lot of money producing a lot of goods and services and jobs for people bernie sanders was one of the main architects for the 15-dollar minimum wage which fortunately will not be a part of this bill, i think we can expect from a business standpoint people being paid to not work which will be hard to attract the workforce you will see payments going to places like cities and communities in blue states and blue cities that will be incentive to keep their businesses close rather than generate revenue the old-fashioned way with productivity and businesses and people paying taxes from property to income. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ hey limu!

bernie sanders plays a huge role in passing this act, and he joins me now. you know, it occurred to me, senator, in your long time in politics, you have championed causes both popular and unpopular. you have been someone who, you know, spoke out for bills that didn't get a ton of votes, that weren't polling that well amongst the american public. it does seem to me the democratic party and the broad coalition assembled truly does have the wind on their backs on this big piece of legislation. >> absolutely. i mean, for once i think we are listening to the american people in this extraordinary time of need. 2020 was probably the worst year in american history since the civil war. people are suffering. they can't feed their children. they have no income. worried about being evicted. their kids can't go to school. mental illness is at a record breaking level because of all of the anxiety and isolation that people are feeling. and we have presented a comprehensive bill, which is not perfect, but goes a long way to say to working families all over this country, you

senator sanders elaborated sunday on cnn's "state of the union." sen.anders: what we have done in the past and promised the american people in the last month, we said we are going to get you $2000, and what we are going to do is say that a single person, $75,000 or lower, and a couple $150,000 or lower will be eligible for that full $2000, $600 plus $1400. when people said we don't want rich people to get that benefit. i understand. i agree. we want to have a strong cliff so it does not spill over to people making $300,000. amy: this comes as billionaire'' wealth in the united states grew by almost 40% during the pandemic, increasing by more than $1.1 trillion. biden's stimulus bill is also set to include a $400 per week jobless benefit through september and $30 billion for rent and utility assistance. this comes as data shows women lost about 5.5 million jobs over the course of the first 10 months of the pandemic, nearly 1 million more job losses than men. treasury secretary janet yellen spoke about the staggering numb of women who have left the workfo
