So i know youve probably heard the phrase history repeats itself. Well, its happening right now. Im talking about recent history and its happening in broad daylight. Were going to talk about that throughout the show tonight with many of the people who would know best. Former trump aide Sarah Matthews was at the white house january 6th, 2021. She saw Political Violence and the lead up to it up close. She saw how donald trump incited it, and were seeing that again. Very fully with efforts to do delegitimize elections which, you guessed it, is happening again also. On that note, i want to start tonight by diving into a story out of arizona. Where last month, a meeting of the Maricopa County Board Of Supervisors erupted into total chaos. A group of people swarmed the meeting, shouting of the members of the board were illegitimate because of voter fraud. The cofounder of a Pro Trump Group even commandeered a podium to announce, this is an act of insurrection. One county official describe th
Not close. And four years later in an environment that is more hostile, kay hagan comes pretty close to winning a senate seat despite 125 million being spent, and she did that in large part because we turned out tens of thousands of more of the most disenfranchised people in the country in a state where republicans shortened the early vote period from two weeks to one week and eliminated a lot of the easilyaccessible voting sites for africanamericans and for young people. Thats the lesson that democrats have to take. Theres no question there are a lot of disappointed democrats and my message to them is take a few days, have a drink or two, get a little bit of rest, pick yourself back up because theres an election in two years and thats what we should be looking at over the next couple of months for what is going to definitely be another election cycle. The one candidate for president to did go to campaign with gary peters is the senator elect. What is next for you . I think i have four
Capital accumulation in the middle. One of the important steps that your administration signed into law was just making it easier and more automatic to save in your 401k plan. Now the majority of Companies Default people into savings and default into auto escalation in saving policies. Next step is take nearly half the population that doesnt have savings accounts at work and give them access to automatic ira. Thats an idea that came out of the Heritage Foundation working together with brooking. Theres a lot we can do to focus on a positive story to create well. For most families, homes are principle source of wealth. We have a bipartisan efforts to put people in houses from the tax codes and regulatory. How do we go back look at housing policy in a more reasonable way . We want people in homes. Its an important asset for most americans. How do we rejuvenate the Housing Market without creating the same we had before . First of all we should be reforming Housing Finance system, should be
Courts i missed you all. I missed you all. You did . I hope you did not believe it. Never do. [laughter] good. Im going to start by congratulating my friend, senator Mitch Mcconnell. As you know, mitch and i have worked very closely together over the last eight years and i dont think i could ask for a better partner or do i think the senate could have a better majority leader than Mitch Mcconnell. Also, i express my gratitude to the people of ohios eighth congressional district. You know, my mission is the same today as it was in 1990 when i was first elected to build a smaller, less costly, more Accountable Government here in washington, d. C. And right now i believe that means continuing to listen, to make the American Peoples priorities our priorities and to confront the big challenges that face middle class families starting with the economy. You have heard me talk many times about the many jobs bills that the Outgoing Senate majority has ignored. Those bills will offer the congres
Waiting periods in certain parts of the country that veterans have to experience. That is what i would make on this. It has been a tough year of the v. A. A of criticism and a lot of it justified. It is completely unacceptable. Not tolerable that anyone would dr. The books and we have to do with those people. At the end of the day, what i hope every veteran in america understands, what i know that the vast majority of my state of vermont understands, is once you get into the v. A. , the quality of care is quite good. That is what all the veterans organizations say and it is true. You can see that entire interview with vermont senator Bernie Sanders at 6 00 p. M. Eastern on cspan. Next, journalists discuss the midterm elections by looking at the results and how they were covered by the media. Us was part of a form hosted by cq roll call. It is an hour. Im the politics editor at rollcall. This panel is entitled what happened . Joining me today is nathan gonzales, the Deputy Editor of the
