been conditioned to believe that paid leave is a privilege, not a right. in other countries, it is second nature. nobody thinks twice about it. it makes sense. some of us, including every member of congress has paid leave through our jobs. why don t all americans have the same right no matter whom they work for or what they do for a living? america is at a competitive disadvantage as long as paid family leave is not a national guarantee. we have the opportunity to change that. the initial proposal in the bill was to provide 12 weeks of paid leave. now at last check, we were down to four weeks of paid leave. that s good. up from nothing. it would make america one of two countries out of 186 that do offer paid leave to offer so little of it. by the way, there is an element of the paid family leave proposal to make it one of the most progressive in the world. it would cover care for all
left wing thought is gaining any traction. as i said, the economic policies of president obama haven t helped the man. elizabeth warren still getting glowing coverage and she is more left than obama. exactly. i don t think first of all, as you know, i regionally disagree with this idea that barack obama is this leftist socialist. i think what she is talking about is something that a lot of americans actually agree with her main issue is the banks. and these she feels that they are corrupt and they need more oversight and regulation. washington isn t corrupt. do you want washington. i don t think this is necessarily unpopular thing in the country. you are turning it into a loany left thing and some republicans don t think this way. i have got to give monica to be fair on time. do you know who had all the oversight? frank. did he a great job.
gains the white house, she would make barack obama look like ronald reagan. and that s the memo. now for the top story tonight. reaction. with us here new york monica crowley and from washington kirsten powers i was watching the footage from pakistan as the taliban massacred 130 plus individuals. most of them children. by attacking a school and just gunning down muslim children for no reason at all. i m saying to myself elizabeth warren as president she is going to dismantle the taliban? she is going to get isis? she is going to take care of al qaeda? and then i say why don t all americans understand what i m saying here these leftist politicians that this is not the right time in history for them. where am i going wrong? i don t know what you are basing that on. i mean, what does she lack
but it s a deeper situation for many americans as i talked about in the talking points memo with senator warren being the new face of liberalism. it s income inequality. it s racism, white it s racism white privilege. it s one grievance after another. and millions of americans are buying into this. i don t know whether you saw us last night. we used a clip of samuel l. jackson, multimillionaire actor, who has made his fortune in america, talented man. going out and basically saying that this is corrupt, the police are racist, the whole country s unfair. how do they get there? there is nothing new here, bill. i mean, the phrase that s actually so old it s not obsolete is limousine liberal. this goes back decades, generations. america has always had a left. we never had a socialist party because socialism is so obviously absurd as a system of
non-biblical evidence for that in our book killing jesus. it s fascinating if you haven t seen it. in all 65% of americans believe the gospel version of jesus birth. a higher percentages that those who believe in global warming joining us author of the book the president s district attorney votional from philadelphia julian professor of psychology at rutgers university and author of the fourth coming book, the soul fallacy. so, professor, begin with you, and this says that most americans are traditional. they do believe the bible narrative of the birth of jesus. are you prized. i m not surprised at all, bill. these numbers have been around for a long time. we know that the u.s. is an unusually religious country given how wealthy we are. so not surprised at all. i have to sigh what saddens me though as a scientist and educator is that not more
