seniors will have to wait three more years, and joe biden will not be able to point to lower prices come the election next year. nevertheless, if it was not a huge deal for ordinary americans, a huge win for millions of older migrants, the pharmaceutical companies wouldn t be so mad about, it wouldn t be filed no fewer than seven lawsuits across the nation in alliance with the right-wing pro business u.s. chamber of commerce. to quote the president, big pharma doesn t want this to happen. they re suing us to block this from negotiating lower prices so they can pad their profits while hardworking americans foot the bill. we re going to we re going to see this. or stand up to be from. i hope he does. financially and economically, it s the right thing to do. we know prices, fight inflation. politically, is the right thing to do. seven out of ten republicans support doing this. above all else, morally it is the right thing to do. protect the health and finances of ordinary american
but what s interesting is the denial, the not wanting to talk about it wasn t just young white people. when i was growing up, young black people, i remember feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable and ashamed about discussions about slavery, and feeling like it was something maybe if we just didn t talk about it it would go away, but we all know it won t. you know, rachel, it is an interesting point that was made, and i think the film really does drive it home is that slavery, enslavement has always been sort of shuffled off as a black people s story. this is a story of black americans and doesn t have a whole lot to do with white people, when enslavement is something white people did, and it feels like that s part of the reason we can t get anywhere when it comes to educating young people, and educating grown people about slavery because there is a resistance on the white side of the ledger to talking about white people when it comes to it. i think it s a mistake to
tanked, as well and so for both mansion and sinema in addition to the front life issues we hear about, the fossil fuel industry with mansion and pharmaceutical industry with sinema, there is a next stage with usually republican leaning donors that will be happy with any democrat that tanks this bill and that s what we ought to keep our eye on. 100%. yeah. you re 100% right. they re buying ads aired on msnbc trying to make it sound like allowing the federal government to negotiate prescription drug prices. it s the biggest buyer and make it sound like that s the worst thing that could happen in the world, big pharma doesn t want this bill. big oil, big coal don t want this bill and it can t be coincidence they don t want the bill. i wonder if there is a way for

start working on 12 different appropriation bills to fund the government through 2020. right there the two parties are at loggerheads. you want to just kick the can down to christmas or do you want to try to do it the way we used to do it. brian: the usmca is also up. it s up to nancy pelosi now to take it up. she is alienating a lot of people in the midwest which her party plans on winning over if she says this deal is going to be too good for the president. and also there is a sense out there that the president and nancy pelosi agree on one thing, reducing the cost of drugs. and to take on big pharma and to reduce the cost of drugs, the government could negotiate like all of us do on our cars and houses to get the drug prices down. big pharma doesn t want it to happen. the president does. and nancy pelosi does. the question is can they put politics aside and risk giving both democrats and republican as win? i think we could win once in a while as the american people. we all want redu
