said before, unite the working class. that was the one thread that we saw between bernie krats and trumpsters was that they really believed in this message of the forgotten man and that whole trade message. and economic advancement. the american people are not greedy. they just want what they have, social security, medicare, medicaid, and a job for their kids. that s what people want in scranton, that s all they want. give it to them. heidi przybyla this is hardball where the action is. what we re witnessing every day is the story of our time. what s going on behind the scenes at the white house today? he could find him 168 in jail. he couldn t do this without the best reporters. can you find out who s writing on this? this one to me is a whole new level. take cue one. we re going to try to give you the best review of this day

disunity. i m talking about the democratic national committee s come together and fight back tour which kicked off monday, headlined by tom perez and bernie sanders. perez is getting dinged by sanders folks for not supporting universal health care getting d bernie krats. john ossoff is not a progressive. something had he to clean up today in a statement. we sort of touched on this before, but, dan, it s been weird to watch this unity tour between the chairman of the democratic party and a guy who is not a member of the democratic party. yeah, it s curious as to why tom perez decided this was the way to start his tenure as dnc chair. he s got a lot of work that he has to do internally at the dnc to get it ready. capitol hill can deal with kind of the message and looking forward. the progressive base is revved up already. to bring senator sanders along, who as we have seen for the last
two years, marches to his own drummer is not part of any establishment, doesn t feel any relationship with the dnc. i mean, i understand symbolically why they did it, but what we are seeing in practice is the very reason why it doesn t seem like a good idea. i guess that you could make an argument that the reason to do it is bernie can draw a crowd. so, you can go if you re trying to build a 50-state party, you go to kansas, whole bunch of people show up to see bernie. and maybe if you re tom perez of the dnc chair, maybe you can get volunteers to sign up for the democratic party. that is a rationale. i think that is the rationale. i don t think it is a rationale. when i worked for bernie sanders, i would say there are women crying in the crowd. this is like a rock and roll concert. to be at a bernie sanders rally is to really witness somebody kind of riding high on this progressive message. he s not dumbing it down to these millennials. he is talking at length about
the b policy. that s what the democratic party wants. they want a base interested in policy. that s why tom perez feels like he wants to go on this unity tour. the fact there needs to be a unity tour when donald trump is in the white house also tells you the state of the democratic party. i go back to it is if democrats win the house, they re going to win it through the south. and these suburban southern districts, and again, you know, you re going to have this tension between bernie krats and the john ossoffs of the world. look, i think the other thing perez needs to do is clean things up after the bitter chairmanship fight with keith he will i son. he s co-chair. that s one way to do it. you re absolutely right about that. i think they re going to wind up following the same play book the republicans did, be the party of no. he didn t pay any political price. his goal was to make sure barack obama wasn t elected.
