senator sanders has been a impeccable partner with this.n the president has. he's been meeting with workers. now we need to say, we need to talk to manchin and sinema. i think he's just so afraid of the word socialism for some reason. or no good deed goes unpunished. it's quite unfortunate that he continues to bash senator sanders in that way. he has been tremendously helpful to this president. >> maybe we should have the former chair of the rnc sit down with joe biden and -- as we've seen today. hold on to all your thoughts. we appreciate you taking time out for this weekend. because, you've heard some of the failures of the first year of the bidens -- and i'm gonna miss as many as i can in just the -- and continue this conversation with our very lively panel. stay with us. just the -- and continue this or even well-spoken.

and senator bernie sanders picking another fight with corporate america.h the details on this. what's going on? >> reporter: brian, senator bernie sanders surely has never been afraid to throw a punch, and this time it is bernie versus black rock sanders told me he wants blackrock's ceo to step in and stop the protests. workers there have been on strike for otver a year >> we have perhaps the largest private equity firm in the country managing $10 trillion in assets, making billions of dollars of year in profits, saying we can't intervene to make sure that kids, children of the miners don't go hungry that's the pressure that has to be placed on the ceos and large corporations. >> it's a strategy that bernie sanders has used before, he called on warren buffett to intervene last month at a steel union. and then there was the beef with jeff bezos over the minimum wage, amazon raised the wage to $15 an hour after sanders introduced a bill that would have penalized the company. >> people are sick and tired of the greed we are seeing. people on top right now dur

everyone in the coalition is not happy, from bernie sanders to john kasich, right? everybody in between here. with independents, he fell 25 points, with african-americans, 19, with 18-year-olds, 10. this is basically the first four months to now. what is your take on this? let me put it this way. how is the white house handling this moment? >> i think the clip that you played, chuck, really illuminates what's happening across the country and how the white house, and i would argue the democratic apparatus is doing it as a whole. there is a disconnect, to state the obvious, between what voters and the american people think their elected leaders have done and what the elected leaders have actually done. i'm sure that's very frustrating and scary for the white house and the democratic party apparatus. because the first year of the biden/harris administration was designed to say that the government can work for the american people. president biden talks about it all the time, vice president harris has talked about it, and you can see that in the 200 million vaccinated, t

>> i'm not bernie sanders.nd i have been. >> so, who is right here? did biden go further to the left or is he still in the center where he has been, actually, frankly, for most of his political career? >> so far in terms of the legislation he's been able to pass, it's fairly centrists. the other comment we did hear from the president, though, in this press conference remarks is the fact he's got the backing of 48 of 50 of the democratic senators and what is notable there is that he and bernie sanders have been aligned on most of the legislative priorities. it's two more moderate senators, manchin and cinema he's knot been able to align with. one of the things that's interesting throughout the year is certainly, there are progressive activists from the outside who have been frustrated, kexasperated and voicing concerns. there was a lot of hope the biden white house would accomplish more than it has in the first year. that being said, i am struck by some of the praguogressive lead in the senate or house, jayapal

sanders, tim miller, we have much more to talk about.ng up, we'll look at the political army that donald trump is building. what a strategy means for republicans. when the 11th hour continues. the 11th hour continues wondering what actually goes into your multi-vitamin? at new chapter its innovation organic ingredients and fermentation. fermentation? yes, formulated to help your body really truly absorb the natural goodness. new chapter. wellness well done >> this is maybe the most important election we have ever had. but i do believe that 2024 will be even more important. this is the year we are going to take back the house. we are going to take back the senate. and we are going to take back america. this is so important. [applause] we an in 2024. we are going to take back the white house. >> former president, donald trump, held a huge election stall rally in florence, arizona on saturday. where he repeated his election lies and embraced some of the most radical quotas in the state. it is 2024 campaign which he made his strategy for the

still with us, simone sanders and susan del percio, simone, question to you.en, why do you think he came so late to the voting rights battle? to publicly opposing the filibuster. he did a great speech in atlanta few weeks ago. but what was the thinking inside the white house in 2021? why put off the voting rights struggle and go for infrastructure in build back better first. we lost a lot of time, didn't we? >> i think the president was actually very frank and clear with folks about his thinking there. he did a town hall earlier in the year, in 2021. where he was asked this very question. and the president basically said, he had two legislative packages, at that point it was one big package. it was bipartisan infrastructure deal, it was broken up by -- in the build back better agenda, he wanted to get those done. in the next legislative fight he would take on would be voting rights. votes can debate and argue about whether that was the best strategy. in terms of publicly, the president himself, publicly coming out on those issues. he said why? he said he did n

bernie sanders said after that it's not just this vote. when i think have undermined the president of the united states. they have forced us to go through five months of discussions which got absolutely nowhere. i think they can expect to find a primary challenger. he's talking about two democratic senators, sinema and manchin. sanders is independent and the anger there is raw. >> absolutely raw. i mean, the immediate thing that the precipitated remarks was the defeating the voting rights bill, the blocking of it and then the failure of the democrats to change the rules to get it through because sinema and manchin did side with the republicans to prevent that from happening, but what he's talking about as well is the fact that the two of them were hold outs for many, many months on the they insist that had things be taken out and things be changed. otherwise they couldn't support it and then in the end senator manchin made it very clear at the end of last year that he still wouldn't be able to support it so there is a lot of frustration am

i'm not bernie sanders. i'm not a socialist.m democrat and i have been. >> what was your reaction when you heard that? >> well, i'm not joe biden. i like him, but i'm not joe biden. i'm a progressive who believes the democratic party should make it clear that we are prepared to take on powerful special interests like the drug companies, like the insurance company, like the fossil fuel industry, that we have to demand that the wealthy start paying their fair share of taxes. look, i think president biden has done something quite unusual. he has taken a hard look at the problems facing the american people. he's brought forth legislation to try to address that. i respect that. obviously we have our strong differences. >> and what do you say to those who say part of the reason why you're stuck, as you just described, in process and policy, is because joe biden is governing more like bernie sanders than joe biden and that's not what the american people asked for? >> well, i would turn that around and say how does it happen that the po

and i have to ask kamala harris is not just your former boss, bernie sanders is a former boss. do you agree with the senator, here that breaking this thing, up making the republicans and joe manchin and kyrsten sinema evo and the price of insulin. bowen universal pre-k. bowen climate change, is that the way forward to saving democrats seats come the midterms? >> i have worked for a lot of people. may i agree with the good senator from vermont. and i also agree with parts of what susan said. the reality here is first and foremost, this guy is not falling. polls go up and down. polls are a snapshot about how pieces of the electorate feel at that given time. there is still time here. i would also like to note that democrats have put things, put forward ideas, they put forward legislation. but in the senate in particular, it has been blocked by republicans who have been unwilling to let some of these bills come to the floor for debate. we talked a lot about voting rights over the last couple of, weeks we will continue to do so here on this network. because it will be in the news. t

governor and dnc chair ed rendell and nina turner, former ohio state senator and chairman of bernie sanders' presidential campaign. the president is expected to tout his successes this year. the unkplamt rate at 3.9%. more americans have been vaccinated. they are sending out hundreds of millions of tests and masks. do you think that's enough for this administration to take a victory lap about? >> sure. understand we went from 2 million americans being vaccinated to over 200 million americans being fully vaccinated. great achievement, and people said it couldn't be done. secondly, the economy is coming right back, first with the american rescue plan which saved millions of small businesses and families from going bankrupt and going out of business entirely. that was a hugely successful

as you just described, in process and policy, is because joe biden is governing more like bernie sanders than joe biden and that's not what the american people asked for? >> well, i would turn that around and say how does it happen that the policies we are now fighting for are enormously popular? cnn did some polling out there. ask whether the american people think it's time to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry, ask whether we should

she was co-chair of bernie sanders 2020 presidential campaign. we're also joined by jonathan cott, former senior adviser to joe manchin. nina, to you first. what appears to be voting rights legislation dead. >> i mean, this is a sad day. we're in the 201 century. we are not in the 19th, 18th century. this is a sad day, a sad time for democracy. and although the african american community certainly shoulders an enormous burden when it comes to voting rights because of the historic import of how we had to fight and people had to die to get those rights, this is an attack, make no mistake, on every single person in this country, particularly the poor, the working poor, and the barely middleclass. an absolute sad day that you have senators that would rather

this is nina turner, a key deputy for bernie sanders, a prominent progressive in ohio. she says because senator sinema and manchin won't help the president he should do this. >> he wasted a whole bunch of time with these folks being diplomatic and inviting them out to the white house and he needs to hold a press conference. let them know you're going to be by my side and be with me and getting rid of the filibuster or i'm gassing up the jet on your behind and i will be in arizona and west virginia directly and let the american people know who is standing in the way of my entire agenda, not just voting rights, but.gas up the jet. >> you see, you hearings you don't need to explain the anger and the frustration right there. the challenge though is in a mid-term election if you have a democratic civil war that makes a tough campaign environment even worth. >> yeah. i don't -- i think that what the white house could do to help president biden and his approval ratings and his chances in the

we're gonna get this. madeline merit supported more radical reformers like bernie sanders. she reluctantly voted for biden, and now she feels let down. has he's always been much more of a smoother, much more of a handshake or much more of a. i let you know, let's make a deal. we need a really strong and brave leader, and unfortunately, i don't see that. and by then for her biden is already elisa, very different from bernie sanders, the idol of the idealistic left wing, as they wanted sanders in the white house, and a scathing about the president, a biden's kind of fiddling oil america burns. it's, he's not there. he's not present and he feels checked out by then is an out of touch lacking a conscience towards the people in this country who need a whole lot of help. right now. it looks like optimism may have run out for many young voters. and so has that support for joe biden? ah, world men's tennis number one novak joke of a chance. arrived back in belgrade after being deported from australia following a long visa boy, his return to serbia came on the day. the australian op

bernie sanders have not been afraid to start a fight and this time is bernie versing blackrock.o step in and stop the protest at the coal mine in alabama. workers have been on strike for almost a year over pay and benefits and blackrock is the company's largest shareholder. >> we have perhaps the largest private equity firm in the country managing $10 trillion in assets making billions of dollars a year in profit paying ceo $30 million a year and say we can't intervene to make sure that kids, children of the miners don't go hungry that's the kind of pressure that has to be placed on these ceos and these large corporations >> it's a strategy sanders has used before with some mixed results. he called on warren buffett last month to intervene in a labor dispute at a steel company owned by berkshire hathaway. buffett declined to get involved and then the beef with jeff bezos over the minimum wage. amazon raised starting pay after standards introduced a bill that would bpenalize the company sanders says he counts that as a win. >> people are sick and tired of the kind of corporate gr

still with us, symone sanders and tim miller.nald trump really likes his rallies, but there are some republicans, according to the "new york times," who are quite concerned with the strategy he is embracing right now. i want to read you from the article, recommend cans who are concerned about mr. trump influence on candidates they believe are unelectable. the basic math of such crowded primaries are difficult to stomach. a winner could prevail with a third of the total vote which makes it more than likely that a far right candidate who is unpalliable to the broad electorate can win largely on mr. trump's endorsement. donald trump gets on one end of it and his army comes out. what do you make of it? >> i always get a chuckle out of these moderates that are so concerned about trump. there was a chance to convict him in the senate a couple months ago. we could have been rid of him once and for all. oh, well. as far as the candidates in arizona, some of the most extreme candidates were at that rally, including the leading candidate f

and he managed sanders' 2020 presidential campaign. matt bennett worked for both of bill clinton's presidential campaigns. he is now a co-founder of the think tank third way. hello to both of you. great to have you with us. faiz shakir, i'm going to start with you. we heard president biden say yesterday that, yes, it was a year of challenges, but there was also enormous progress. how would you size up his first year in office? faiz: one of the most important accomplishments of this biden administration is empowering workers. i mean, he lifted the income floor at a time when millions of people were losing jobs, out of work, with stimulus checks, with unemployment benefits, with child tax credits, small business payroll support. what happened? workers gained power. they got the ability to change jobs, move jobs. and as a result, if you look at household wealth and wage gains among the people in the bottom 50% of america, they are increasing. that ia huge accomplishment. it reverses decades of a trend of working-class people losing. and s

the bernie sanders agenda is terrible. and only the true radical left supports it., nbc's chuck todd had this to say on president biden and cbs's margaret brennan also took a focus group and had a lot of surprising reaction what is going on. watch this. >> he is no longer seen as competent and effective. >> who feels like we're in a better place now than we were a year ago? show of hands. no one believes we're in a better spot now? >> i just don't understand. i thought this was going to be a president for the people, of the people. elizabeth: what is your reaction, congressman? >> i mean, look, my reaction just to smirk. it is sad for the country. i'm not surprised. listen, america, i've been telling you now for months. joe biden is over his head. he doesn't know what he is doing. he is incompetent. and now the american people, even people who were moderates, democrats, they know it as well. we have to get over this politics of personalities where people decide who they will like or not like, that is how they go vote. be focused what the policies actually are. be fo

and congress of the "build back better", the bernie sanders of budget. present was at pains this week that's not what i've done, that's not fair. but how the voters see it? >> well, 47% say the democratic party and administration have gone too far to the left. he really see in all of the polls that normally people favorite democrats over republicans when he asked them party questions. right now they are favoring republicans over democrats by pretty wide margins. eight points with he might have to go back to 94 to find numbers as lopsided as this. >> a while, the president also stressed his accomplishments, legislatively the infrastructure built undeniably past. the covid to bill $1.000000000000 in spending why isn't he getting more credit for those? >> with the economy inflation out of control it's very hard to go before the american public and say things are going well, i have accomplished a lot. i've done more than anybody else. there making a plan of action to deal with the facing. almost everyone in the most recent poll people zeroed in on the grocer

today he said he is not bernie sanders. what do you think he means by that? >> d window is bernie sanders, he ran as a centrist. i believe he is a centrist. many of these issues deserve our attention. former president trump tried to get in to structure bill passed over and over again. he had infrastructure week and he would roll in semi's to try and make the case. never delivered. president biden did deliver. in terms of some of the other issues, childcare, pre-k, our friends and allies in europe already have those programs. we are not breaking new ground. it would be a great benefit to families in the united states. i do think he is a centrist, and for the most part is ruling as a centrist. kristen: i want to talk about voting rights protection, a vote could come tonight, but it seems all but doomed. how would you explain to californians why we should be alarmed if no federal law is enacted because of what is happening in other states? >> california has a robus voting rights package in place. everyone can vote by mail, everyone in the state will get a ballot

i like him but i'm not bernie sanders. i'm not a socialist.nd i have been. >> sandra: interesting. at this point he still needs to clarify that. >> that's not a good place to be. i know joe biden forever. i served with him for 24 years in the u.s. senate. never thought he was a socialist at all. but in pushing for some of these big spending programs, trillions of dollars like the original build back better bill, it appeared to a lot of people that he was adopting the platform of people like bernie sanders on the far left of the democratic party. and he opened himself to exactly that kind of criticism. bernie was out there applauding him for doing that. people began to suspect that maybe sanders and people on the left of the democratic party had more influence on the president than people in the center left who really were the ones that nominated him and then helped get him elected. >> sandra: i have 10 second. you have any mid-term election predictions? >> well, right now the president and democrats have a lot of work to do. the polling is aga

unfortunately, the democratic party is now controlled by the hard left bernie sanders, the elizabeth warren types. and so biden was supposed to be a unifier, but he comes in with a hard left agenda thinking he's going to be another franklin roosevelt. and the american people aren't very happy about giant increases and the tax burden and the burden of government spending not dimension. afghanistan and the pandemic and things like that. i think biden is like a deer in the headlights, because having been a career politician who simply punched a clock and did whatever a sort of consensus was for the democratic party. he's now hot in a democratic already that wants to do radical things that just aren't where the american people are. you know, you know, richard is the, the, the f d r has been mentioned so many times, i think it's quite laughable because f, d, r had and truly a mandate. and when he came into the presidency, but you know, f d r, if you like or dislike. um, he said we need to get america back to work. i'm, i'm a pretty simple guy. i can understand a statement like that. let's

they didn't talk about anything bernie sanders proposed. it's a scare tactic. it's a red scare and i think we are seeing the rise of the term socialism or marxist or the way they tried to tie say critical race theory to scary socialism and marxism stuff in a bad sense. the caller put her finger on something which is that it is kind of a moral panic and the term socialist often gets thrown around to say you're not really american. you're not really patriotic. you are alien, you are other, you are dangerous. therefore as the caller mentioned earlier, you're far outside the bounds of political decency and being worthy of respect as a citizen. the caller said i shouldn't even be in the same status and because i live in new yorkcity. we couldn't ask for a better example of what the caller was just getting . >> host: but you said that there's somehow two sides in formats like yours to gain understanding of each other do you think that's possible ? >> yes because to be honest, with someone like ross coming on the podcast or even our friend hoffman glenn mentioned earl

not is what gives appeal get, you know, to candidates like bernie sanders and like donald trump, who people view to be authentic. yeah. helen, i mean it's, it's, you know, we go through these cycles who have the mid terms in general and we get, you know, you go round and sort of, it's great for programs like this to talk about politics, you know. but at the end of day, how much gets done, i mean, richard is absolutely right. we have all these promises. i don't care if it's a republican or a democrat, all of these promises and we basically get more or less the same. and i think that this is, there's a great fatigue in that because they're a really huge problems facing the electorate. and you know, with so many promises made than promises broken. i mean, and i, and it's this become more apparent in the, by the administrator. maybe just because he just isn't up to the job. i'm not a doctor. okay. but you know the same thing. i mean, i've seen this, you know, obama came in and it was the radiant view. future a left, an empty suit. okay. and we see this repeatedly over and over again. you

so bernie sanders, socialist bernie sanders, and pretty much socialist aoc think that they can primary joe manchin in the state of west virginia, like they have more pull with west virginia voters than joe manchin does. what do you think about that? >> i say, do it. [laughter] i think that would be great not only for people in west virginia, but for the american public. that will push both of those senators, i think both joe manchin and senator sinema, to move at a minimum towards declaring themselves independents and likely caucusing with the gop if not outright switching, at least in manchin's case, all the way over to the republican party. so my hope is, do it. one of bernie's allies talked about needing to fire up air force one and bring joe biden to that state. i say do it as well. not only go to west virginia and arizona, while you're at it, go to nevada and new hampshire because joe biden's numbers are in the tank because, ironically, joe biden is no longer the moderate that he claimed to be. the guy who's the moderate is joe manchin. david: right, right. i'm going to get into t

don't do it, simone sanders replied. speaking in concert with a group. if you wanted to do it at some point, his advisers agreed with one another, he should make a carefully consider dirty plan around announcing that. it was not the kind of thing he should just throw out there on a debate stage. besides, it might look like he was pandering and might backfire. biden was torn. but clyburn and his congressional black caucus colleagues believed their message had landed. so, the next night, -- he grew more and more frustrated. one opening, two, then three, why won't he say, it clyburn ask himself. finally, clyburn took matters into his own hands at that commercial break. backstage, biden looked his friend in the eye and not at his assurance. clyburn returned to his feet to watch the end of the debate. and then, of course, this is what happened at the end of the debate. >> we talked about the supreme court. i'm looking forward to making sure there is a black woman on the supreme court to make sure, in fact, that every -- not a joke. i worked very hard for that

and so moans that, simone sanders said, that she advised him against doing it. i can understand that. it is a dicey move. but let me tell you, when you have lost three primaries, and this is the last one before super tuesday, sometimes you have to make the right decision for the right reasons and sometimes it works. and so this works. i think joe biden did what he wanted to do. and i think that adding my voice to those who are asking may have helped a little bit. >> the situation is so much more clear tonight because you did that and because president biden made that public pledge. we get to deal with not messy a list as we might be dealing with if it was a wide open situation. i know you have a favorite in this situation. you can see the point of going with judge brown jackson, confirmed by this same senate a year ago. you've got three republican senators who have already voted for her. lindsey graham voted to move her nomination out of committee. and it's a tide committee, as you know. equal representation of democrats and republicans on the judiciary committe

senator sanders and i had called for the defense production act to produce masks and have n95 masks for everyone. we've called for universal testing and reiterated that with our letter to the administration. i think there was candidly complacency. people didn't think that delta would happen, that omicron would happen, but all of the ex-perths have warned us that the variants are going to continue to affect us, and there's probably going to be another variant after omicron. so we need to ramp up on the production of tests, the production of masks and the covid pill. it would literally save lives, and yet we're sort of six months out on that, and it isn't widely available to every american. >> final question, you announced today, you alongside senator bernie sanders, that asking for free kn95 masks what would that look like? >> from the federal government. it's not that expensive. let's send three masks per american right away and have them available at cvs, walgreen's, the local health care center. come on, masks and testing in the greatest country, the greatest economy? we can't provide

i like him but i'm not bernie sanders. i'm not a socialist. and i have been. >> joined a meal live senior advisor heritage foundation mike powell. my, what are you expecting to expose? >> there certainly a long track record on the biden administration about the destruction and damage to this country. we have year of abject failure across many policy lines domestic and foreign. what we are aiming to do is our policy makers in the public different levels with the information and evidence embodied investigative research, they need to actually enforce accountability moving forward. that's what we are going to do. where running up bills and were going to be in submitting foyers and conducting investigations. were going to get the information needed to tell the true story of all the damage reflected. i think a lot of it was on purpose. people need to be held responsible. >> my, what areas as there is no shortage. otilia right up the bad. this border crisis, this attack on national sovereignty securing it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that

they got the second cousin of bernie sanders. that's not what they wanted. i like bernie but he tested negative for president. he lost. and president biden or whoever is advising him have told him i don't care what the president says he has adopted bernie sanders' agenda and it's not what the american people want and he also said, president biden said, if you don't agree with me you are a bull connor, george wallace racist. have we sunk that low? >> harris: when he was asked about that he said i didn't say that. the exchange was pretty nasty in terms of attitude from the president because he was trying to correct the reporter for asking him the question correctly. the reporter said, you know, are they in the same lane? do they have the same sort of tinge than that i'm paraphrasing the reporter now. the president said i didn't say that. he said that. they would be just like that person. i guess a shade of difference there but he is more concerned about the question and answer period on that than actually what is happening it would seem. i want to get to you o

he says he likes bernie sanders but he doesn't always agree with bernie sanders.utperformed in the first year. he said i didn't overpromise. look at that the "new york post" said he said what? now we know why they keep him hidden. but, if you go through some of the things that he talked about. you know, he did promise us that he was going to wipe out code and then yesterday he said the pandemic is far from over. he admitted he didn't have enough tests even though hes told us he was going to wipe it out. he also promised us our economy would be better. we played that. we are at 7% inflation and he blamed the pandemic and he blamed the federal reserve. cbs did a poll and 65% of americans say he hasn't done enough to alleviate inflation. his approval ratings are horrible, 33%. he also said that he is going to be on the ticket in 2024 with camla. asked why americans question his mental capacity he said i have no idea. when it came to russia he said they will move in on ukraine and if they invade they will pay. then, brian, he defended afghanistan's withdrawal. he said
