good evening. i m mehdi hasan. nine months after the storming of the united states capitol, the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election is still under way. we are in the midst of a rolling coup. almost every day republicans pass more voter suppression laws. they purge more and more election officials and they entrench the big lie that the election was stolen. just check out this weekend. and the republicans have to stay strong. you have to stay strong. you have to fight. bring our country back. do you feel that enough has been done for a free and fair election for these congressional races in 2022? we are making great improvements. and as you say, 18 states. but we ve also been able to stop hr-1 where the democrats would have greater control of our election, of what we could actually say, a speech czar to make the democrats have greater control when it comes to federal election commission. and these states is where the rules need to change. we need to clean
They are referred to as moderates. senator, what is moderate about allowing the planet to burn? you know, there is nothing that s moderate. look, for me, when we talk about these differences, i just want to be really clear about this. increasing child care, attacking the climate change problem, increasing the minimum wage, expanding medicare, all of those things, the overwhelming majority of americans want to see. and that s democrats, republicans, independents, a majority of america wants to see this. you know, the progressive agenda is america s agenda. so don t tell me that throwing sand in the gears on trying to get those jobs done is somehow moderate. no. no. what we need in this country and what america wants across a political spectrum is for us to
Below $3 trillion. where does elizabeth warren stand on this big never-ending democratic party debate over the price tag on this bill, which is over ten years, by the way. how much you willing to go down off $3.5 trillion over ten years? so let me just start with the fact i think it s absolutely the wrong question and the wrong way to go about this. this is not the price tag that is what the top line number is. it s what do we need to get done. and we need to get child care in america. we need to expand health care coverage in america. and we need to take a big whack at the climate crisis that is suffering all around the world. so i keep asking the question, let s just build this one from the bottom up. we know what we need. how much is it going to cost us to get there? and for everybody who says no, no, we re just going to come down from 3.5, i want to say then what are you planning to leave behind? because there are things i m not
We ve reached out to jeffrey clark for a comment but have not heard back. but senator elizabeth warren is still with me. senator, thermostats in china changed votes in georgia. just briefly, how do you react to this new reporting and craziness aside, how close were we to a full-blown successful coup back in january? this is one more reminder that trump never cared about reality. all trump cared about was there any way that he could piece something together so that he won. and if he could get that going, he was willing to say anything, up is down, in is out, hot is cold, it just didn t matter. and that s what makes all of this so deeply, deeply threatening to our democracy. trump trump doesn t play by any rules, except the rule that if trump wins, it was good. and if trump loses, it was bad. it is the same rule that every dictator from the beginning of time has played by.
Prices of prescription drugs have just gone through the roof. we have a chance in this bill in the next few weeks to actually fix that problem. and that s why i m in this fight. and so are a lot of other people. the problem is two of your colleagues don t seem to be in the fight and they seem to be deferring to their donors. they re also opposing higher tax s on the rich. they re joined by the 0.1%. including mark cuban. the billionaire shark tank guy who i m sure you re familiar with. he said this on fox business about you. have a listen. in terms of taxing unrealized gains, i think that would be a disaster. honestly, i don t think elizabeth warren knows all what she is talking about when she deals with this. i think she just likes to demonize people that are wealthy. and that s fine. what is your response to mark cuban there? you know, mark cuban s problem is not that i don t know what i m talking about. mark cuban s problem is i know exactly what i m talking about. and wha
