bernie sanders has wired that whole thing. there would be no point in chairman sanders getting the budget committee to agree to the shape of the bill it did not pass the senate and the house. nancy pelosi praised the bill, it's been agreed to by the democrats and the senators on the budget committee that it will make bold essential investments in our values as a nation. here's what joe manchin had to say about bernie sanders but to communities bill, welling >> -- i'm open to looking at everything that they have provided. they worked hard, they should have a proposal, the president has -- will listen to that. we'll look at the proposal, look at the priorities they have for a country, and basically look at how we're gonna pay for it. and if there are tasks adjustments being made -- with i think we should start paying for stuff. >> everything? but is this a red line for you? >> there are no red lines. >> no red lines. that is all you're ever listening for, that's all you want to know at this stage of legislation. does anyone out

sanders: yes.ly, senator, the news we are hearing on capitol hill today that there are new cases of covid-19, including the delta variant, are you, members of your staff, other senators you know, going to be taking in new steps now to be safe? how is this going to change things for you? sen. sanders: i will tell you one clear way we were just talking about it a few minutes ago, my staff and i we had hoped to open our doors here in capitol hill to visitors. every day we have folks from vermont and around the country coming in. we are going to have to delay that, precisely because of the growing threat of the variant. i suspect you will see more mask-wearing. all of us were so excited not to be having to wear masks all the time. in closed-door rooms, you will probably be seeing more masks being worn. judy: in other words, going back to where we were. sen. sanders: i don't know how far back we are going to have to go, that depends upon what happens, and obviously, one of the things thais so disconcert

i mean, bernie sanders was terrific.n him as the leader of the budget committee, and i have to say that senator schumer who was pivotal in all of this, senator mark warner at the other end of the budget committee, and all of us. we were working with the white house. we had folks in the room as well. that was really listening and pushing back and forth with each other. the bottom line was this. we really believe that it is time american people know that someone has their back. the tax code should work for working people of the not just the rich, not just the millionaires and billionaires. we believe if you ask billionaires to pay something, that's not a tax increase. more than zero. that's not a tax increase. so we came together on the biggest tax cut in history, tackling the climate crisis, which is the existential crisis of our time while creating tens of millions of jobs that we can do at the same time, and then making sure people know with all the costs they have in their life, that we'll be able to bring the costs do

did you have any direct communications with chairman sanders, or do you know how chairman sanders made sure that what he was going to reveal would be acceptable? >> senator sanders and i have been talking every couple of days. our staffs are in very, very close coordination. but obviously, lawrence, the specifics are not all outlined. so, you know, several months ago, we put out five priorities. i communicated those five priorities very clearly to senator sanders. i said, this is what the progressive caucus will need if we are going to vote on this. and as you remember, almost three months ago we said we were not going to vote on a bipartisan deal unless this reconciliation package was voted on at the same time. at the time, no one else was saying that. but progressives said that. we whipped our members. the vast majority of our members said that they were not going to vote for that bipartisan bill, and now of course the speaker, senator schumer, everybody is on the same page. so i do feel like progressives both inside congress, in the senate, in the house, and outside in the movement

and it is to depict bernie sanders of what is violent. so that is not just a critique, that is, that is not just to give sign as a break here will make things a little bit harder for him. there it is to demonize a democrat in the eyes of the public class democratic party demonizing a dinner grant in the eyes of the public through means. well, there is no way presumably energetic and when, if there is a link between entering into an isis dash. now i know your helix is reviewing all these different emails. you have so many of them, and you need to look at them and who they can damage or they got also the things were getting done before releasing them. president obama's now bombing, i says, to as positions in libya, so it's reported. did hillary clinton use libya as a conduit to fellow strife dash and syria, the u. s. government, at the time that hillary clinton was in charge of foreign policy? as did use libya as a conduit to get to your hardest, in syria. that's well established. not just by a range of our materials, but by investigative w

did you have direct communications with chairman sanders, or do you know how chairman sanders made sure that what he was going to reveal would be acceptable? >> senator sanders highland i have been talking every couple of days. our staffs are in very close coordination. but obviously, lawrence, the specifics are not all outlined. so several months ago, we put out five priorities. i communicated those five priorities very clearly to senator centers. i said, this is what we will have to address. a few months ago we said, we will not vote on a bipartisan deal unless this reconciliation package was voted on at the same time. at the time, no one else was saying that. but progressive said that, we whipped our members, the vast majority of our members said they would not vote for that bipartisan bill. and senator schumer, everyone is on the same page. so i think that progressives both inside congress and outside have made this entire package possible. of course we, along with biden's expensive vision. if we didn't have a president with that kind of expensive vision, none of this would be happe

senator sanders, it looks like it would be around $5 trillion. what is left over from the families plan, it looks like it adds up to about $3 trillion more. joe manchin is it $2 trillion, bernie sanders is that $5 trillion, where are you? where is the white house? ms. dunn: the president has had two red lines, the first and most important was in action which was not an option for him. we were going to get something done and address these. the second redline has been that he is not going to agree to tax increases for people who make less than $400,000 a year. those have been the two red lines we have defined and we have negotiated on. in terms of the overall number -- and we are at the beginning of a reconciliation process. the house and senate have their own processes. the president has been clear what he thinks should be in the resolution. he sends it to congress, it is our build back better agenda, and that is his preference. he was in the senate for 36 years. there is a congressional process and a negotiation. the understand there will be a lo

you know, bernie sanders is in a meeting every week.ruction by chuck schumer, i think, but he's in a meeting every week, bernie sanders with joe manchin in chuck schumer's so-called leadership team. which at that table has joe manchin, elizabeth warren, bernie sanders for chuck schumer to exactly understand what is possible with all 50 members. it's a really representative group of what you need to have on the senate floor. so i really have to believe with all that communication that bernie sanders and joe manchin have every week that chairman sanders knew what he had to do to get not just the unanimous vote of his committee but all 50 votes on the senate floor. >> a, thank you for explaining that. and b, thank you for letting me interview about this on your program this evening. i owe you some real estate. you go get it back from me tomorrow. >> it's my favorite thing. you know i'd come on early to do that. thank you, rachel. >> thank you, lawrence. >> thank you. >>> well, john busy and his wife molly didn't want to bring their 17-mont

they ask will the squad fight for a higher number or swallow hard like sanders did? they note that ro khanna seemed noncommittal on tuesday night. quote, i need to see the details and what climate provisions are in there is what ro khanna told reporters last night. debbie is next out of williamsport, pennsylvania, a republican. good morning. >> caller: good morning. >> go ahead. >> caller: my concern about the budget, i know that both parties like to spend and spend, but we have spent trillions of dollars to give money to other countries. why are we supporting to build other countries when our infrastructure is falling apart? our tax money should be spent on our country first and then if there's any left over help out the rest of the world. there are many countries that have lots of money like saudi arabia. it's up to them to start picking up the slack for the rest of the world. i think we've been overly generous with our funds and since it is our tax money it should be spent on us first. >> gregory shelton on twitter writes how many pages is this budget? no one is g

bernie sanders, the squad, likewise matter don't speak for us.rican people are pro-liberty. >> this thought from bernie sanders, i want your reaction. >> during the campaign you said that it is unfair to say everything is bad in cuba. do you still share that sentiment? >> support throughout latin america and cuba and every place else the right of people to protest for a decent economy and political freedom. >> fox emailed aoc, ilhan omar, rashida tlaib and sanders with no response, does it shock you what he said and not getting response that? >> he has a long record of support for the castro dictatorship. he once said a lot of ugly people were defeated in cuba meaning people who like liberty, there's no way he can walk that back. in a way he lost the race in 2020 because of outspoken support just a year ago for communism, the communist government of cuba and what he just said was very tepid. he's a died in the wall marxist. he cannot walk back his feelings. and odyssey of early one 2. >> amazing that any american isn't full throated the celebrati

bernie sanders, sometimes he's at 6, sometimes at 10.a lot of moderates aren't comfortable with. he knows that number's going to come down, and so does everyone el. so they're doing the dance they have to do. i think it's probably good for bernie sanders, he knows the moderates are going to come down and bring the number down because he can say, look, i tried, but all these moderates, i just couldn't stop them. >> fair enough. i don't think bernie sanders is going to be excited to say that. i take your point. in seriousness, let's talk about the crime challenge because this is rapidly becoming an issue that's going to become front and center especially after democrats -- obviously there's what happened in the wake of george floyd, but the defund the police slogan, there are a lot of democrats who are concerned that went too far essentially for the politics and they have to to be careful. the white house says, we're going to send money to those who need i. that's a change. >> press secretary jen psaki has been started to say it more forci

for massive spending despite the strong jobs numbers, many are distancing themselves from senator sandersg he's not pushing president biden far enough to the left. joining me now former senior white house advisor in america first legal founder stephen miller, so glad to have you with us today i want to talk about their reaction for senator sanders, this is interesting because were several months in to the administration ten year and were already hearing senator sanders isn't doing his job, your reaction to that. >> is quite astonishing, they should be very grateful progressives on the left for senator sanders, immensely grateful. his agenda has been adopted really without alteration by president biden, we have joe biden in the oval office and we have bernie sanders policies being put into effect, the only thing i can think in this sounds mean but it's not me saying it the only thing i can think is that progressives had sours on sanders as a spokesperson. and i might think and others might think that he does a good job explaining communist policies i think communist policies would be the r

that is what bernie sanders said last march. he said the exact same thing.ight more than we are on the left. and it is an interesting argument that there is collusion going on with the government via amazing discovery process to see exactly what kind of conversations are going on with big tech and the government but i think what we all want to see an examination what the big tech task force will look at. antitrust segment whether abuse of power and free market whether big tech is engaged in siloing of businesses, where they're buying out small businesses or running them out of the marketplace. then the privacy concerns where you have big tech in control of more and more amounts of data and that data sharing who owns the data is going to be a big question we need to answer. elizabeth: that is a big one. that is a huge one. ii want to turn to this, civil liberties author, naomi wolf is considering legal action. she said both twitter and youtube froze her accounts, suspended her accounts because she raised questions about the side-effects of covid-19 vaccines,

those people like aoc and bernie sanders are being quiet right now.hey know because it is not great for the people of cuba. it is not great for americans. we need to have freedom and democracy in cuba. elizabeth: yeah, bernie sanders just moments ago put out a statement saying he supports people's right for freedom and protesting not denouncing what the communist regime has been doing in cuba an venezuela. they have been the main destablizing forces in the western hemisphere. cuba more than six decades. they thwarted efforts to make the americas a free zone. what do you say to that? >> it is just talk. they want to make america a socialist country. he calls himself a democratic socialist. they want to take steps towards that direction. of course they will not call out the communist regime directly. they will stand with the people of cuba. that is the direction of their policies. we can't have that here in america. there is a reason why cubans are fleeing to the united states and we have a large population of cubans here in florida and it is because th

chairman bernie sanders will be getting through the budget committee. it includes, a medicare expansion for dental, vision, this is really, these numbers are extraordinarily amazing. the details of this legislation, include things that people have fought for decades. literally decades. they never saw the opportunity though. here we are on the democrats only build tonight, budget community, unanimous agreement, it's gonna make it out of the committee. a represents what would be the mansion wing of the budget community. they're all in agreement. >> lawrence, on a scale of zero to nothing is happening, to 100, joe biden is signing the legislation, where does that put us on the number line in terms of how close are we to the end? >> this is way up there for this package. the bipartisan package is its own track. it's holding together remarkably well. president biden is going to do something truly extraordinary tomorrow. he's actually going to go to the senate, democrats, luncheon in the capital tomorrow. something he went two for 36 years as a senator, i kno

you're looking at a tweet from bernie sanders right now.ith this billionaire in space thing. bernie sanders wrote here on earth in the richest country on the planet half our people live paycheck to paycheck, people are struggling to feed themselves, struggling to see a doctor but, hey, the richest guys in the world are out in outer space, yes, it's time to tax the billionaires. todd: he didn't return our request for comment but keep in mind, the stuff that we're learning through these missions is going to help the entire planet because we're learning more and more about space with each one of these journeys so that's an ignorant comment by mr. sanders. that's all i have to say. do you have anything? ashley: i'm going to let it breathe. todd: wrap it up, shim cuss. thank you very much -- shimkus. thank you very much. kamala harris facing backlash after saying voter id laws would not work for rural voters. >> people who live in rural communities, there's no kinkos or office max near them. todd: when's the last time you went to a kinkos or off

on the most influential morning program morning, joe was defending bernie sanders and then debbie watson and schultz called up the president of a mississippi making the this is not reported in the us this report in the us maybe of a cold up chuck todd i. here's the host of meet the press for me much more here is no reported that there was a short herself personally called up the president of m x nbc to apply pressure in relation to positive coverage about things and this morning, george big wanting to be then then to, to my mind what is the most serious from entry point of view, it is the communications director lewis miranda making instruction to his staff to pump out a black propaganda story against bernie sanders saying that his support is violent . and to put this out in a quote on attributable court matter, what i say that is the most serious because it isn't instruction given through the chain of command to stop. it's not a discussion, it's not any one person calling up to another person. and it is to depict bernice and support is, is violent. so that is not just a critique that it

probably the biggest difference is over the medicare provisions that sanders wants to put in. both an expansion of prescription drugs reform and reducing the eligibility age of medicare. what is the white house position on that whole basket of medicare provisions that was not originally proposed? anita dunn: the president has been clear that he supports giving medicare the authority and power to negotiate drug prices. he also supports the expansion of medicare benefits to cover hearing aids, eyeglasses and other things and dental. i was think about that. and lowering the age. that proposal comes out of the proposal developed out of the unity task forces. the biden campaign and the other campaign came together. he said he supported those things. there is no argument here. how reconciliation is put together something that chairman sanders, the leadership, other leaders will be heavily involved in. we will all be talking about what priorities are and how we pay for it. ryan lizza: that is not a redline. that is negotiating. that's not saying don't do that -- don't do medicare in

obviously as i just noted senator sanders, the chairman of the budget committee, noted this historic nature of this package. that is been agreed to by the budget committee. we agree with that. this package currently represents and is aligned with the president's priorities, including what was been outlined in his budget which is quite public out in a blueprint as well as the american families plan which includes key components of investing in our workforce and childcare and in the next generation. we also understand this is a process. there's steps to go. he's going to continue to advocate, continue to talk with, gate with members just as he is today and we know they can be changes as things move forward that it is aligned with the priorities outlined publicly. >> his understanding n to pathway to citizenship including -- he said could be a matter of months if all the mystery steps are taken. is that it correct assumption? >> again we have said in the past we certainly want to see an immigration bill passed through congress. there are a range of mechanism to do that. we will that con

people like bernie sanders have never produced a damn thing in their life.thing. never employed anybody. never created a service or product. they know thousand run everything. these are abstractions and theories they are imposing on the country. they pretend they never supported the old soviet union like he did. they pretend like they never supported the communist regime of venezuela like he did. they pretend he never supported the castro regime in cuba as he calls it but he did. these are genocidal maniacal regimes. and they are using that ideology to attack this country every way they can. these are multibillionaires for a reason. they actually produce something that people want. you may not like their politics. i may not like their politics, that's quite apart from everything else. look, all during the pandemic, we used amazon and we used these other plat formation, they were very, very important. redistributing wealth, class warfare, government largess. the robber barrens in this world today government bureaucrats and politicians like bernie sanders who

he has not been on board with bernie sanders and his $6 trillion package that sanders is trying to sell this week. he hasn't given his blessing to all of the things joe biden has proposed, for trillion dollars over the next eight years. their childcare subsidies, community college and big climate initiatives. the climate piece i think might be the hardest to get past joe manchin. when this guy ran percent of first time around, the climate bill passed the house. that was a signal to these west virginia folks that he was going to have their back on issues he cared about. host: now he serves alongside major pusher of that bill in the house. guest: this reconciliation package, coming at it from a different angle, it will be pageantry. it will be more clean energy incentives you still have to figure out a way to get joe manchin on board and get coal country on board. there's a lot of things you could do in a $3 trillion package that are good for west virginia. things like expanding medicare to dental, vision, other things. there's a lot of folks in west virginia who could probably use that.

jeanne, the budget -- lead with bernie sanders must -- met with schumer, and they say they are closehow to pass this democrats only version. >> he asked, it was a long meeting. bernie sanders went into this talking about a six trillion dollar package, and in recent days, everybody's been talking about a 3.5 trillion dollar package, a truly here, a trillion there, then you are talking about real money. then there is a question of how it's going to be paid for, and there will be dynamic scoring which we don't have to get into. it's basically the assumption that it will make money for the economy. i think democrats see this as their big shot to actually do something on climate, in addition to the human infrastructure that they are talking about. and so, i think they're still gonna try to go for what is really quite a big number and assume, and think, that they are going to have all 50 democrats on board for this. >> steven, the budget committee has bernie sanders representing one edge of the democratic party's argument, you have senator mark warner and probably representing the other ed

but i want to talk about bernie sanders here.o against cuba is because the soviets put missiles in cuba. ballistic missiles pointed at the united states. they are 90 miles off the shore of key west. you think that's okay? let's just drop the embargo and all the enemies of america just send missiles to cuba and point them at washington, d.c. that's why bernie sanders is dangerously stupid. does bernie really believe that communism would work if we just dropped the embargo? no, the regime will just pilfer all the stuff and basically use patronage to set up a permanent and never-ending authoritarian regime. here's what bernie -- and this is greg's point here -- here is what bernie is saying. he never addresses the fact that people in these communist countries hate it. they are suffering. he never talks about that, he always talks about theoretical communism and theoretical socialism, and that's because he's arrogant. and he believes that communism or socialism would work in this country, and people would like it if bernie sanders co

we just talked to senator bernie sanders about that.he votes in the senate without changing the filibuster. the new voting bill, put forward by texas house republicans, it's obviously got a lot in it that -- that democrats criticize. it doesn't, however, no longer has this limitation on sunday voting. the previous bill had limited voting hours until after 1:00 in the afternoon, which would affect churches doing early-morning voting drives which, often, favor democrats. they claimed it was just a -- a -- a -- you know, a typographical error, that they always meant to have it be 11:00 a.m., not 1:00 p.m. but the fact is this is not -- which is, clearly, seems ridiculous -- but it's not in this new bill. so what's bad about this bill, now? >> sure. well, and -- and those two particularly onerous provisions are out of the bill and credit all the democratic members of the legislature, who fought so hard to kill that bill. that -- that those provisions are now gone. republicans have run away from those. and -- and don't want to claim any cred

probably the biggest difference is over the medicare provisions that sanders wants to put in, both an extension of the prescription drugs reforms that will pay for an expansion of medicare, and reducing the eligibility age of medicare. what is the white house's position on those that hold medicare provisions that was not originally proposed in the jobs plan or the families plan? ms. dunn: yeah, the president 's been clear that he supports , he certainly supports giving medicare the authority and power to negotiate drug prices. he also supports the expansion of medicare benefits to cover hearing aids, eyeglasses, and other things. ryan: dental, i think. ms. dunn: and dental. sorry. i was thinking about that, as well as other things. the biden campaign and the centrist campaign came together, and in the president ajit message to congress, he said he supported those things. there's no argument here. how reconciliation gets put together here is something that chairman sanders, chairman yarmuth, and others will be heavily involved in, as we are, and we will all be talking about the priorit

with chris jones, a democratic running for governor there that could face off against sarah huckabee sanders. let's start with new developments. the battle over investigating january 6th. leann caldwell is on capitol hill so look. speaker pelosi knows what she has done in taking these members off of the committee. she thought she had to do it anyway. what are the other big headlines from the press conference? >> speaker pelosi wanted to make clear that it is not because of representative banks and jordan's votes as the reason they were removed from this committee. it's important to note that another member that mccarthy chose also voted to object to the electoral college count. they want to do it with their past and current statements and their position as it relates to january 6th and she says that they don't operate in the truth and that it would be ridiculous to put them on. let's listen to how she put it. >> these people will act out, cause a problem. people say put them on and when they act up and then when they act up take them off. why should we waste time on something so predictable.

this is something that chairman sanders, chairman sanders has championed. we are going to get it done. on climate, we must act on climate. we have seen what is going on in just the last month. we are going to invest in green infrastructure. strong, bold greed infrastructure. electric vehicles, clean and renewable power. that will not only help our country adapt to a changing climate but slow climate change itself. on top of president biden's plans, democrats will add other policies to significantly deal with climate such as using methane emissions. one of the most potent and deadly of the greenhouse gases. jobs, family, climate. these are the three buckets that democrats will be working on. again, let me repeat. it is a long road ahead of us. the fact that we were able to come together last night with the diverse views on the budget committee was a strong shot out of the gate. i am sure my friends on the others of the aisle will pan this and say a or another -- one thing or another. they don't want to reach out and help american families. they want to help

bernie sanders went into this talking about a $6 trillion package. in recent days, everybody's been talking more about a $3.5 trillion package. you know, a trillion here, a trillion there. soon, you're talking real money. but -- and then, there's a question of how -- how it's going to be paid for. and there will be dynamic scoring of the, you know, which we don't have to get into. but it's, basically, the assumption that it's going to make money for the economy. this is -- i think, democrats see this as their big shot to actually do something on climate, in addition to -- to the human infrastructure they're -- they're talking about. and so, they're still going to, i think, try to go for what is really quite a big, big number. and -- and assume and think that they're going to have all-50 democrats onboard for this. >> so, steven, the -- the budget committee has bernie sanders at -- at -- representing one edge of the democratic party's argument. you have senator mark warner, probably, representing the other edge of it. and so, to come to an agreement,

. >>> also ahead, senator bernie sanders on democrats' plans to protect voting rights. we begin with breaking news out of haiti and the assassination of that country's president. moments ago the country's acting prime minister just paraded out individuals they say were involved in the assassination of the former president almost two days ago. we're working to get that video in for you, including among those individuals, again according to the acting prime minister, were two americans. he also said authorities have arrested most of the attackers involved. separately officials a short while ago updated the number of suspects killed by police overnight to the number of seven. they described them as foreign mercenaries. cnn has obtained video purported to be from that shootout between haitian authorities and the alleged assailants. cnn has not confirmed the authenticity of this video. [ gunshots ] >> now, as we said, authorities were saying there were seven people in that shootout all dead. they also are saying there are six people in custody tonight. today haitian media sh

as i noted, senator sanders with the chairman of the budget committee noted, the historic nature of this package that has been agreed to by the budget committee. we agree with that. this package currently represents and is aligned with the president's priorities, including what was outlined in his budget, which is quite public, as well as the american families plan, which includes key components of investing in our workforce in childcare and in the next generation. we also understand that this is a process. there are steps to go. he will continue to advocate and continue to talk with and engage with members just as he is today. we know there can be changes as things move forward. but it is certainly aligned with the priorities he has outlined. reporter: -- his understanding and expectation that the pathway to citizenship would be included in this package -- he said it could be a matter of months. is that a correct assessment of this white house's point of view? jen: again, we have said in the past that we want to see an immigration bill passed through congress through -- there are a rang

chairman sanders, welcome back to the "newshour." where do things stand tomorrow on the infrastructure piece, this so-called bipartisan plan there had been agreement on. is there an agreement now? what do you think? >> judy, i have not been involved in the bipartisan plan. i've been involved very much in the partisan plan, which is something that the american people desperately want. and the truth of the matter is, there are a lot of people in our country, working class people, who are losing faith in the ability of governmento address their needs. and what we are doing is just that. we a going to take on income wealth inequality, we're going to ask the largest corporations to start paying their fair share of taxes. wee going to take on the pharmaceutical industry and have medicare negotiate prices. and we're going to deal with child care and pre-"k." can you imagine free pre-"k" for every working family in the america. we're going to end the disgrace of america not having medical paid leave. we're going to cover dental, hearing aids

bernie sanders is a very important voice for progressives.e also got a deal on the medicare expansion. that's likely going to be in the deal as well. the reality is this is probably the last legislative train leaving the station other than those must-pass spending bills congress will have to do. that makes it harder and easier. harder because everyone is going to be jockeying to get their priorities included. >> we're going to focus on every little detail because they're important. this is the first year biden agenda on the line right now. when he goes to capitol hill to sell this, that's part of it, that no one's getting everything they want. >> but to your point, when he goes on the hill today, it's important to step back and remember politically he did run for president on big government spending programs. his task today when he gets to the hill is to remind democrats and in some instances perhaps persuade democrats this is what i said i was going to do and try to convince them challenging him is not an option. a lot of democrats will say

progressive win in the sweeping infrastructure rules announced last night, my interview with bernie sanders, one of the key architect of the plan coming up right after this break. after this break

first senator sanders, let's start off with what is in this bill? to keep track of everything both the negotiations, the proposals in the white house, from the budget committee. just top line, what are we talking about here? >> while we're talking about is the understanding that for decades working families have been struggling, the very rich have been getting richer, and you have billionaires and large corporations that pay in a given year nothing in taxes. point number one. this bill will substantially raise taxes on the richest people in this country, and the largest corporations, that's number one. number two. for decades, we have ignored the need of working families. everybody knows that we have a child care system which is dysfunctional. in my state, $15,000 a year, that's about have average nationally. pre-k, the same. we have a higher education system where kids can't afford to go to college, or leaving school deeply in debt. under the proposal, we are bringing forth no family in america would pay more than 7% of their income to childcare, u

todd: meantime, a silent san a sanders.people joined protests in cuba over the weekend demanding a change to the system in the communist country. check out some of this video. many u.s. lawmakers voiced their support for protesters but vermont senator bernie sanders did not issue a statement yet and that is notable because he sort of defended fidel castro during the presidential election, if you remember this. take a look. >> we're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of cuba. but you know, it's unfair to simply saying everything is bad. you know, when fidel castro came into office, you know what he did? he had a massive literacy program. is that a bad thing, even though fidel castro did it? carley: that was his thoughts in 2020. a spokesperson for sanders did not immediately return fox news' consider for comment on the current situation in cuba, guys. ashley: bernie sanders little salty ovary charred branson's - over richard branson's space exploration. carley: richard branson, he became the first billionaire in space

nina is a progressive icon to folks on the left, one of bernie sanders' senior most advisers, she said to me, look, i don't run on defund the police. i have family members who served in law enforcement throughout my life. i have a more nuanced take on police reform and yet folks like clyburn are taking the range out on the progressive movement against those trying to get a seat in congress. so we're seeing the dynamics unfold for the folks that are progressive icons and vocal

thus, the sanders mittens mean was born. but what exactly is a mean? when we hear mean, most of us probably think about funny picture that yes, a different meaning when you change the caption. but these image macros are just one type of mean. a video can be a mean piece of text can be a mean. it's something that has remixed and recycled and copied. so something that is disseminated over and over again, and as it's disseminated, it also new tape. turkish sociologists to deal government is writing her ph. d on internet means key. describe them as units of culture that work as templates. and you can change their meaning by changing the caption and have endless varieties of the same means, like pictures that compare celebrities fits to objects. for this video where a man and introduce his rather quiet girlfriend, they get to introduce you to my girlfriend who is amazing which other internet users edit it into hostage situation. and because it's my birthday i get to introduce you to my girlfriend who is my one today, is also my birthday. and because of my b

you have president biden whose governing like he's bernie sanders but he's not bernie sanders.s no enthusiasm for him and kamala harris equally uninteresting but if you govern like you are bernie sanders go for broke. president biden should get rid of kamala harris and go with aoc, somebody who is interesting and will take the hits for governing like a crazy socialist so you might as well get the good benefit of that if you are going to take the bad as well. >> who would be hot if kamala harris lets democrats down and they feel their numbers are bad who would be -- who is up next? >> that is the truth, if aoc and Élan omar and the squad that is in the news all the time, making the splash or the big democrats other than them? can't think of any attorney sanders will run again because why not, the same people we've been talking about would be the challengers. brian: it has been a struggle to keep up the biden administration changing its mind on everything from covenant. this week we found even vaccinated americans have to wear masks. >> the masks are being put on for vaccinated p

sanders originally proposed $6 trillion in spending. mr.ending binge. as always the real bill comes due later. and our children, congressman will have to pay the consequences. >> when you have a debt as high as we have now, approaching $30 trillion. when you have annual deficits approaching a trillion dollars a year we can't afford the free college, free health care, free everything that bernie sanders wants to provide because we know it is not free. the socialists including bernie sanders don't know that it is not free. they think it is free because it is always someone else's money. what did margaret thatcher famously say? socialism is great until you run out of other peoples money to spend. jackie: that's right. >> it is not great. it's a disasterous plan. it deserves to fail along with the rest of socialist agenda. jackie: talk about inflation a little bit. that is the conversation being had at the kitchen table. everyone is feeling it. then they said it would be transitory. saying hold out until the end of the year. senator thom tillis

elizabeth: in taiwan and representative same bernie sanders you should go to cuba to see firsthand theuffering under the communist dictatorship let's listen to marcoer rubio. >> i don't know why it's hard to criticize, i do think it is pretty clear there is people that aren't saying anything and the president took a whole day to say this, he left out the word marxist in communist, and socialisttu, what you describe e borders nature of the castro regime that's away every regime has ever been, because marxism and socialism is built on this you give us the power will give you security in a stable economy and all the things that you need but the price of that is your freedom so they win. plain abouty crack your head open, put you in scale, exile you or they kill you. elizabeth: senator, your final word. >> well he is exactly right on that and that is why you have to keep >> that's what you have to keep the sanctions on the repressive regime leaders and cuba, they have to understand we are going to draw a line in that sand and if the president of cuba and his regime fire on the people in cu
