michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania. and i don t want to say it out loud because i don t want it to happen but i think a lot of people watching this right now know it already did happen once so, you know it can happen again. and it will happen again if we don t run the right candidate. a beloved american who s not an inside the beltway politician type person but somebody who s going to be a street fighter and fight for that 70% majority that s going to take us back into the white house. okay. and that s where we have you because to our audience michael moore is going to stay with us. and yes, i m thinking what you re thinking. do you have a name for us? don t say it now. but i m coming back at you in traverse city right after this. julian castro standing by with chris matthews. thank you, brian. congressman secretary. mr. secretary, yeah. julian, thank you so much. let me talk about your main argument in these last two debates which is the question of decriminalizing border
let s have the fight here in the family. and whoever s going to be our nominee better be ready for donald trump, a low down dirty player. i think you ve got to know how to answer a question like that. i didn t really feel the vice president on several matters actually was forthcoming. do you think tonight was clear in deciding whether the democratic party should go further progressive or left, if you will, or more center left? i thought it was a pretty good balance tonight. do you think it was resolved? should we go all the way with obamacare for life, basically for all? should we go with decriminalization crossing the border? should we make those really profound progressive decisions or should we compromise within the party? chris, it s a great question. i don t think it was resolved but i ll tell you this much. if we don t have a clear progressive message, if we re not populist in the good sense of the word we re going to lose just like we did in 2016. i talked about taxes on the
why do we want to be light on a pusher? let me tell you. drug pushing is what gets people hooked. yeah, but a life sentence? for selling drugs? addiction can be a life sentence. but look who s targeted. pushers were targeted. no, sir, they were sir, there s no difference between blacks and whites for selling drugs. did you know that? but the overall majority, if you re black and doing it you re almost four times more likely. the guys selling drugs at stanford they don t get sting operations, don t get incarcerated. now literally two of the last three presidents admitted to doing not marijuana, serious drugs. and they got to be presidents of the united states because they re people of privilege. but you have kids right now wallowing in prison for doing things the last two of the three presidents admitted. and why? because they re poor and because they re black and brown. these criminal and biden should be judged on that today? i think that when you brag all the way
prices, flat-out. from there, the attacks on biden continued on a number of fronts including this exchange with senator cory booker of new jersey who alternated tonight between warning democrats not to attack to attack each other and also afacting joe biden. mr. vice president, you can t have it both ways. you invoke president obama more than anybody in this campaign. you can t do it when it s convenient and then dodge it when it s not. and the second thing, and this really irks me because i heard the vice president say, it if you got a ph.d. you can come right into this country. well, that s playing into what the republicans want, to pit some immigrants against other immigrants. some are from shithole countries and some are from worthy countries. we need to reform this whole immigration system and begin to be the country that says everyone has worth and dignity. and this should be a country that honors everyone. don t let the republicans divide this party against itself. and yes
remade from the bottom by social movements. i want to give credit to people out there who have been clicktavists. this party is responding to social moments in a beautiful way. on the health care issue, terry, in addition to what you said. gloria said when we were watching the debate virtually no mention of pre-existing conditions. right. that was the thing that democrats ran on yeah. in the last fall, and that s one of the that s the main reason why many of these democrats right. this was the key vulnerability for republicans and you didn t hear anybody hammering it tonight. you have a president of the united states who is suing right now. in court right now. to end those protections. and that was a missed opportunity. don t forget what president obama said. the entire battle for the aca, if you like your health care plan, you get to keep it. now you don t. well, that s going to be the issue. we got to that s what you were saying. you, democrats, ha
