It was a really busy week. So lets get right to it, some of the conversations you might have missed. Billionaire mark cuban, a Kamala Harris supporter, appeared on a Cnbc Squad Box and shared his thoughts on the Vice President s vision for the economy. Lets take a listen. How much more do you think the public knows now, and how much more do you think the public should know . Obviously, she is talking more, giving speeches, she was very clear about tariffs right there and shes got 40 days to communicate about other things. Think of this as a business and she is the ceo. She went from lack of favorability, lack of awareness, and way behind Donald Trump, to here we are, 50 days later from where she started, she is oh worst tide, people on her economic policy, she was by trump 20 , now she is behind 11 . She is making progress. If she just continues along the trend, the trend is her friend, that means, she is doing the right thing. She will keep communicating new ideas, new elements. She w
was so desperately needed, urgently needed. this plan is going to make it possible to cut child poverty in half. i m going to succeed. we re going to succeed moving forward. look, the american people strongly support this. that s the key here. as someone who spent the entire primary campaign criticizing joe biden, this weekend, the president did what i thought he couldn t, or just wouldn t, by getting results on what undeniably is the most pro-worker, anti-poverty accomplishment by an american president since lyndon johnson. don t take my word for it. listen to the senate budget committee chair, a certain bernie sanders, who called it, quote, the most significant piece of legislation to benefit working families in the modern history of this country. and he s right. i mean, how else to describe a bill that halves child poverty. halves it, thanks to $1400 direct payments, survival checks, a typical family of four gets $5600 in new payments or $7600 in new payments if you th
for their rights, among the first to ever beat isis on the battlefield. from nbc news world headquarters in new york, i m joshua johnson, welcome to the week. president biden s covid package is one big step closer to becoming law. but what s after that? how will democrats govern with republican support uncertain at best? it could depend on this senator, democrat joe manchin of west virginia. the stimulus package has smaller unemployment packets to gain his support, not $400 per person but $300. even with his support, there s getting over republican filibuster in future. takes every democrat and ten republicans to stop it. has a number of democrats calling to end of the filibuster. more you learn about them, easier it is to see why. they re not nearly as hard as they once were, if you re thinking of mr. smith goes to washington, jimmy stewart talking continuously, that s old-fashioned. today you just email the floor leader, no stamina required. emerged after the senat
thing we thought about was the wilmington right of 1998. in which, a sitting man usable government was actually unseated, by mobs that also were aligned to that cause. the same thing that happened attempted to happen in new orleans, in which culminated in liberty place. full scale militia fighting, in an attempt to unseat an interracial government. so, there are instances where we ve seen this behavior. not to mention, the fact that we ve seen the suppression of black votes up until 1965, in the south. so, it s been this long theme of anti democratic behavior in america, we pretend that we didn t know anything about it. it was vital to understanding why january 6th happened. yeah, we can only hope that after january 6th some of us, many of us have been trying to
characterization of it. and of course the ukrainians are not going to do that. so we re in for a very long struggle, i think, unless mr. putin himself starts to feel that his power might be threatened. i think that s the moment where this might start to change. yeah. and of course there is a neo-nazi militia fighting in ukraine but it doesn t run the country as some russian propagandaists want us to believe. as i m going to point out later in the show, russia has neo-nazi militias fighting on the ground in ukraine too. one last question before i let you go. i ve got to ask about the putin rally in moscow on friday. it looked to me like a trump-style maga rally filled with the same far-right nationalist rhetoric, the same gaslighting. there is a real overlap between american and russian fascist movements right now, is there not? well, the international far right learns from itself. ironically it s much more connected than the international left is.
