that you've had from people about this well bernie sanders the way that we see a draft bernie for people's party is that bernie sanders has already built a new party he's effectively already created it because when you think of well what is a political party you think well it's a it's a fund raising you know operatic bernie sanders you know has this this massive donor you know kind of infrastructure just millions of donors across the country is more than two million donors in the end they gave a quarter of a billion dollars so that exists you think well it's also a volunteer you know infrastructure again just hundreds of thousands of volunteers across the country you know ready and dying to work us as our effort has shown you know for. having a party that actually represents them and then on top of that you know it's a message bernie sanders whose campaign popularized the progressive message and it built and what tore a coalition so that campaign affectively built and you party outside of of both of the major parties and the polls showed that if he had gone against trump in the general ele

well it is first and foremost the first part of our name our name consistent two things draft bernie and secondly for a people's party and so the ultimate goal is creating a people's party party that actually stands for all of the things that bernie sanders ran on as opposed to the democratic and republican parties drafting bernie we feel is the best way to do that because bernie virtually created a new party essentially during the two thousand and sixteen primaries so you want to run again we would like him to create a new party and then if he chooses to run again in that party we think it would be great but first and foremost we think that he has a historic opportunity here having built this coalition during the primaries to start a new party so the backdrop of this is hillary clinton saying what happened in an explanation which is being done as did bernie sanders over gathering senators to get on universal health care medicare for all who is going to win this one who gets the attention that's right that's right it is very conveniently timed at a time hillary's book released in the

bomb detonation last week and sixteen senators joined bernie sanders in supporting the bill medicare for all on capitol hill today manila chan with the story and it least eight people are around dead after a nursing home in florida is left without air conditioning in the wake of hurricane irma reporting tonight from washington d.c. you're watching r t america. good evening friends we begin tonight in korea where south korea has test fired a taurus missile from an f. fifteen fighter jet for the first time ever live fire drills earlier today tested south korea's capability to launch a preemptive strike on north korea in the event of a serious crisis as if we're not there yet meanwhile south korean scientists have detected trace amounts of radioactivity in the air as a result of north korea's testing of an age bomb last week that tests show that detonated device contains either plutonium or uranium for more on the latest on the korean peninsula we go live tonight to on your part and bill in seoul south korea good evening anya. good morning from seoul and pyongyang has said it category c

bernie sanders is guilty of medical and economic malpractice. the single payer system, a way of saying government is controlling them. look at veterans hospital, do you want thousands more to die because they're waiting for care. the only way the other countries are budgeting because they budget care. you want a knee operation, come back in five years. david: going back to quality. and rich, president donald trump is not letting this lie. he's getting actively involved. the tweet, bernie sanders is pushing hard for a single health care payer plan, a curse on the u.s. and its people. who do you think is going to win in the debate. >> i think that donald trump will win that easily and sabrina gave an example when you have states like vermont, colorado and california rejecting it, the most liberal states in the country, it says there's not a majority appetite for this at all. david: we should remind people that bernie sanders is from vermont and his own state is rejecting what he plans to impose on the whole united states population. thank you, gan

the creation however he was a no show to the events their group calling itself a draft bernie for a people's party gathered some fifty thousand signatures for support of the new party with or without sanders you may recall senator sanders who ran for president in the twenty sixteen election but lost to hillary clinton for the democratic nominee we're joined live by draft bernie founder nick brand i thank you so much for joining us today it's great to be here and so nick i mean you created this group after working on sanders twenty sixteen presidential campaign when did you decide to make up this group was it during his campaign you know it was afterwards actually seeing in the way in which the democratic party was responding having worked with the superdelegates on the campaign i was a national political outreach coordinator during the campaign so i worked closely with the superdelegates it was my job to lobby the party elites to support bernie sanders and did you see him as a true democrat during that time no not at all he was an independent is independent in spirit and his policie

bernie sanders is not a democrat. he is tech anythingly an independent, calls himself a democratic socialist but he appealed to democratic primary voters in a way that surprised her, just like it did when barack obama did something similar in 2008. and did undermine her candidacy. undermined her -- her -- her process of becoming a general election candidate, because a lot of those penal who were so enthralled with and intrigued by bernie sanders stayed home in the general. >> and third-party candidates. >> exactly. >> the question for bernie sand. talks ar hillary clinton, her future behind her. what is the future of bernie sanders? ongoing debate about progressives versus moderate and centrist democrats. will he run in 2020? what is that wing of the party like? elizabeth warren? pamela harris? adopting some of his viewpoints, too, in terms of health care and medicaid for all. so, you know, she's opening up an ongoing discussion. >> and i want to read one of -- gloria, get your reaction. she's basically saying she wan

to the level of support that bernie sanders has on this medicare for all bill lots of nurses and doctors from around the country and the world really are all there for the cause of getting lawmakers to see health care as a human right to go through what bernie sanders had to say about this itself. the crisis we are discussing today is not really about health care crisis we are discussing today is a political crisis which speaks to the incredible power all of the insurance companies the drug companies and all those who make billions of dollars off of the current system over the years these entities have done everything that they possibly can to prevent us from the housing lower priced prescription drugs and universal health care and i actually spoke to one of those nurses who spoke today alongside senator sanders and she told me about one of the major problems of overcrowding in emergency rooms something quite ironic raising take within that time times we delay discharges just because a medication isn't paid for by the insurance company and so that person is taking up a hospital bed that

jonathan tasini is a bernie sanders surrogate and author of the essential bernie sanders. he joins us from new york. good evening to both of you. first of all, karen, hillary clinton lost. is it wise for her to attack bernie sanders, especially when she failed to acknowledge that populism is actually on the rise in america? well, actually, if you read the book she talks a lot about these issues. i think many of us would agree that what you are seeing from donald trump is a kind of faux populism, it is not real. i reject this question about whether she should have written the book. a couple of key points, she the primary by millions of votes. bernie lost, and he has also written a book and nobody is questioning whether or not he should have written one. she also won the popular vote by more than... the question becomes what about the people that want to hearfrom her? who want to hear — what was her experience? what are the lessons learned? what are her insights? one of the quotes you pulled from is a chapter that's all about what it is to run for an elected office as a wo

bernie against larry, bernie against paul, bernie always came in first. he came in first in the head-to-head including against donald trump. when he is aware of that. there is some sort of mysterious base of support out there with bernie sanders message and that is why he is out there. he says he will visit every state in the union selling medicare for all. >> was talk about medicare for all. i think this is going to be his signature issue. he is running in 2020 i believe. and i think this will be his signature issue. it is something he believes in firmly.and a few years ago, this would have been considered you know if can't touch this! you'll be accused of being a socialist. now, you know -- >> it might as well be a litmus test now. and when you name lawmakers that have lined up right behind bernie sanders, i think that is the progressive litmus test. bernie sanders has pulled the party toward him. it is not hillary clinton's party. you know it is not bill clinton's party. this is a very different democratic party. it is much more progressive and i think

bernie sanders, d-vt] sxs bernie for melissa raw one(21)13:20:11 our job is not just to prevent tens of millions of americans from being thrown off the health insurance they currently have. our job is to join every other major country on earth and guarantee healthcare to all as a right not a privilege. bonnie castillo is the associate executive director of the california nurses association. she says nurses see the problems with the healthcare system every day. and the solution a single payer system with no health insurance companies. [sot-bonnie castillo, asso. exec. dir. cns/nnoc] sxs bernie for melissa raw two(1)13:56:33 look they've had a long time, right? to provide for healthcare and they've really done a really, really horrendous job. this is even with people who have, right? that they can't afford to use it. what's it good for? the group is thrilles to have sanders - a champion of single payer care - speaking today. [sot-bonnie castillo, asso. exec. dir. cns/nnoc] sxs bernie for melissa raw two(1)13:51:44 we believe that bernie sanders - senator sanders - is a tremendous leade

candidate bernie sanders. senator, good to have you back on the program, sir. >> great to be with you. >> let me start by asking whether or not you are more annoyed about having to continue to answer questions about what hillary clinton said or are you more annoyed about what she said? >> well, a little bit of both. but the bottom line, is you know, that primary election ended well over a year ago. and right now we're con fronting enormous problems with the trump administration. you know, whether it is the disastrous health care ideas, whether it is throwing 800,000 young people off of daca, whether it is they're refusal to acknowledge the reality of climate change, whether it's the desire to give huge tax breaks to billionaires. we have enough to worry about today. and in 2018 and 20120. i don't think we have to revisit and rehash the primary campaign. >> one or two follow ups and woint ask anything about hillary the rest of the night. you are annoyed by both that you continue to get asked about it and annoye

bernie: "hillary thinks america doesn't deserve a pony." bernie supporters: "hillary hates ponies." "hillary hates ponies, specifically, twilight, sparkle, rainbow dash, applejack, fluttershy, and pinkie pie. are my bernie bronies in the house tonight?" all in all-- that was very kind. all in all, hillary's book is a sobering look at how easily people can be taken in by unrealistic promises. on a side note, bernie's on the show tomorrow night. and i think he's gonna bring me a pony! we have a great show for you tonight. liev schreiber is here. when we return, i'll be at that desk talking about barack obama. stick around. this weekend at kohl's shop hundreds of epic deals! no coupons needed! bath towels and pillows three for $10 food network dinnerware just $49.99 and save on american tourister luggage. stock up save big and get kohl's cash. thursday through sunday only at kohl's. new charmin ultra soft! it's softer than ever. new charmin ultra soft is softer than ever... so it's harder to resist. okay, this is getting a little weird. enjoy the go! with charmin! the world is not flat

i think bernie is looking out for bernie and his long-term presidential prospects but to do this now before the 2018 campaign, i don't think makes political sense. >> i think you have to keep in mind is how important this issue is to a nontrivial part of the base. i'm not saying that makes it right or disproves any of the things you've been saying in terms of criticisms, but democrats are going to figure out, are going to need to figure out how they square that circle. >> but is this the issue -- is this the issue that's going to appeal to that base that you were just mentioning? i want to put up this kizer family foundation poll. 53% in this poll say they support single payer. 43% say they oppose it. neither support nor opposition firm in this particular poll. the poll finds the public's attitude on single payer are quite malleable and some people could change their opinions after hearing arguments that come up in a national debate. could it be overstating enthusiasm for the concept of single payer? >> i think it's definitely possible and probable. i think the way to square this is

i don‘t know if that bothered bernie or not. she goes on to say that bernie sanders "didn‘t get into the race to make sure a democrat won the white house, he got in to disrupt the democratic party." no question he was the disruptor. but there are many in the democratic movement who are proud of what he achieved. and none more so than bernie sanders‘ brother larry — who last year at the democratic convention — paid this tribute to his brother‘s efforts. i want to read before this convention the names of our parents eli sanders and dorothy glassberg sanders. it is with enormous pride that i cast my vote for bernie sanders. the question is where does the party go now? larry sanders joins us from our oxford studio. jony, mr sanders. hillary clinton has lots of things that she blames during the course of this book for the reason that she lost the election. but i‘m sure you don‘t die into the idea of what she is saying which is that if it hadn‘t been for your brother bernie sanders donald trump would not be the preside

sanders versus mainstream democratic party larry i think bernie sanders represents a very strong wing inside the democratic party at this point even though he's an independent but look at that medicare for all vote you had sixteen democratic senators many of them potential contenders in two thousand and twenty for president joining bernie sanders so i think what he's done is recalibrate the valence of a democratic party that has been too close to corporate power to money power to a rig system which millions of americans are saying enough i think the larger issue in our country is whether we'll see a full recalibration of our politics i think it's an interesting moment a potential realignment moment which bernie sanders and to a certain extent in a way i. i don't agree with by any measure donald trump signaled there is a there isn't could and unhappiness with a discredited bipartisan establishment certainly on foreign policy and bernie sanders foreign policy speech last week is worth looking at but on a slew of issues i think there is an interest in a different kind of politics and ber

the creation however he was a no show to the events a group calling itself a draft and bernie for a people's party gathered some fifty thousand signatures for supports of the new party with or without sanders you may recall senator sanders ran for president in the twenty sixteen election but lost to hillary clinton or the democratic nominee earlier we were joined live by draft bernie founder nick brown i began by asking him when he decided to create this political. i was a national political outreach coordinator during the campaign so i worked closely with the superdelegates it was my job to lobby party elites to support bernie sanders and did you see him as a true democrat during that time no not at all he was an independent is independent in spirit and his policies are always going against the grain inside the democratic party which is exactly why we're asking him to be consistent to that message and to that that history that legacy and start a new party that genuinely represents people in a way that neither major party does today are you surprised at him not responding and not sh

bernie. this injured dream of a single-payer health care system people ona -- we need board now to stop what i think is inevitable if we fail, which is single-payer health care for all, which is the end of quality and the end of a sustained federal judge it. there are three choices. part -- prop up obamacare, bernie care, or our bill. that's where he worked at -- that's where ou're. cap -- you're at. count me in for an idea that has a patient choice they would never hair -- here on single-payer health care. count on my dutch people in my state making decisions about health care, versus bureaucrats from washington. there's a lot of fight from the republican party when it comes to obamacare. the reason i know that, i spent all of august talking about our failure. very happy with the idea that a republican party, after seven years, promised to repeal and replace it, made an effort, and apparently -- or willing to quit. the question is, is there anything left in washington to them ever?replace is

bernie. this ends your dream of a single payor health care system for america. >> even as senator bernie sanders pitches his medicare for all plan, senate republicans are making a last ditch effort to appeal obamacare again. and look sharp, they are getting really close to having the votes to pass it. here to discuss, jonathan kohn, ovick roy and howard dean. thank you all for being here. let me start with you, governor dean. because now you have this sort of guy cot adichotomy that is h. lindsey grahams has a plan that would appeal the affordable care act and he's presenting it as take this or you will wind up with medicare for all with universe universeal health care. do you think that threat has the risk of scaring enough republicans over the line that the whole outcome of this week will be the repeal of obamacare? >> well, first of all, this is a ridiculous bill. it jacks up premiums on people with pre-existing conditions. this bill was put together by people who knew very little about he

hell no to bernie care. count me in for people in my state making decisions about health care versus some in washington. there is a lot of fight left in the republican party when it comes to repealing or replacing obamacare. the reason i know that is because i spent all of august talking about our failure and happy about the idea that the republican party after seven years promised to repeal and replace obamacare and is apparently ready to quit. the question is, is there any fight left in washington? is there any fight in the republican senate? in the white house? there are a lot of companies dying to have another shot at health care a lot of colleagues of mine would like to talk about taking the power out of washington and returning it to the state and putting it in the hands of people you can actually complain to. under a obamacare, if you do not like it, who do you complain to? you can complain to me but i don't want obamacare. according to this bill you can actually complain to a statehouse representativ

said today you would veto bernie sanders care. mattel everybody in america, w don't worry, single-payer health care will never get through the republican-controlled house. stp mr. president, were not going to need you to veto single-payer healthcare. but we need you to do is put in place a new system to stop the march toward single-payer healthcare. we don't change were going the federal government is going to own it all from cradle to grave. mr. president, on your watch you can stop that. once people know that they haves somebody to respond to their needs at the state level versus some bureaucrat there's no going back to washington-based healthcare. so, president trump you have the chance in your first term to set us on a new path. healthcare closer to the patient, money based on not where you live but parity, innovation versus bureaucracy. what a legacy would be. for that to happen that i know you're busy with hurricanes and north korea, you can have to get on the phone and have to help solve this. o i believe you will come i kn

as much as i could i felt like i was in a straitjacket now furthermore she goes on to say that bernie sanders caused the last lasting damage to her campaign and that she was unable to unify progressives and that essentially she says that bernie sanders quote was paving the way for trump's crooked hillary campaign now it's not only bernie sanders who has lashed out at in these sections of the book that are now available to the public she also talks not surprisingly against the commander in chief donald trump she talked about how it was stressful to interact with him and how she wasn't sure what approach to use when debating donald trump she said do you stay calm and keep smiling and carry on as if you weren't repeatedly invading your space or you do you turn look him in the eye and say loudly and clearly back up you creep get away from me i know you love to intimidate women but you can't intimidate me so back up so according to the memoir hillary clinton is doubting whether her strategy for dealing with donald trump was correct now it's important to keep in mind that this memoir that i

bernie will. i think our collective efforts in the end will be successful. >> all right. >> senator, north korea is unlikely to change its ways unless moscow and beijing inflect what's real pain on them. do you think what happened yesterday with the bank of china cutting off ties is real pain? is that going to really move north korea? >> so china has taken small steps, but nothing that comes close to what is ultimately necessary to get north korea to change their mind. and, again, the difficulty here is that while tillerson and mattis are telling members of congress and the public they want a diplomatic solution, the president's twitter feed is saying there's no room for diplomacy and if the president doubles down on the tweets by backing out of the iran deal, then why on earth would north korea come to the table if the president signalled he's not willing to stand up and enforce diplomatic agreements? so whatever china is doing today, it is largely surface level sanctions, because they simply don

but listen the four leading contenders right now you have senator warren well there are others bernie sanders joe biden i would submit jerry brown of california who's term limited out soon he's seventy eight so what do you do what do you make of age so i don't know i think this country you know fifty seventy is the new fifty. week in politics you know can be a year a normal life so who knows health matters i'd like to see a younger generation and it is coming up and we're beginning to pay attention to it at the nation people in this country are looking and there are a lot of young people who are being motivated and moved by the trump years to run for office which is good but joe biden i think he's already decided to run i mean he has a i think a pac and he's working in the political landscape as always thank you thank you katrina vanden heuvel and thank you for joining me on this edition of politicking remember you can join the conversation on my page with page or tweet me at kings things and don't forget use the politicking hash tag that's also this edition of politicking. about your

bernie ended voting for hillary clinton. i don't think this generation is that divided. yes, they are progressive and they want change. i don't think there is a big test. >> as we read the report and and -- reports and the filings. the democratic party are also n untrouble becauu in trouble because they cannot raise any money. if you cannot raise money, how you win? >> it is important to funnel money to these young people's groups. they are starting their own institutio institutions. they are the one that is organized the airport protests and what about the people that organized the women's march which quite quadrupled trump at his inauguration. they need to have some commitment as well as cooperation and they need and get passed organizing and it is not just about mobilization and also about long-term organizations. i think that's the gap that we got to cover. i don't think there is much bandwidth inside this young generation and there is as few right wing conservatives. most of them are center left and they are going to vo

in this tug of war, bernie sanders is an independent. i think he called himself a democratic socialist in the campaign. he is having more of an impact on the future of the democratic party than hillary clinton at the moment. >> sure. look. bernie sanders phenomenon and donald trump phenomenon are not all that different. the idea of people that wanted to break the mold of what was going on the two parties it wasn't working and a lot of people weren't satisfied and ping-ponging back and forth. jump won this election and sanders was not the candidate for 2016 but the idea he would have that sort of ground swell and momentum behind him is t momentum we are in. the same pool of people who wanted to break that mold and, in a way, it makes sense that on both sides of the aisle somebody would be picking up the mantle that isn't really of the fabric of the party and stick with what they have stood for the last several decades. >> all of those folks in that press conference. harris talking there and signed on to this and cory booker, folks who mig

running on bernie care, or not? here with me are david korn of mother jones, michael toemassky and move on.org and "washington post"'s representative. editor privilege first. "daily beast" first. have to do it. >> good decision. >> this is interesting. right? you have hillary clinton and bernie sanders, very much in the news in very different ways. let's start with the hillary side of it, and the really intense sense of why is she talking? why is she here? even in some of the media. what did you make of it? >> this is new? i think i remember this starting in 1991. >> yeah. >> whenever she does something, the major take in the mainstream press is, no, no. doing it wrong. sometimes over the course of the last 25 years she has done it wrong. no question. but sometimes she's done it right and the chorus is just, hillary's doing it wrong. why is she doing this? lead-in said, why isn't she blaming herself? she's got every right to say whatever she feels like saying. >> literally every former candidate writes a book. do yo

in that she couldn't go all out on bernie sanders. way that he went all out on her. >> did he go all out on her. i remember in one of the debates him saying i don't care about -- you and there is another one where she said president obama won't let me. that is passing the buck. >> no. >> it is one of the issues that she talked about. she accepted many people voted for bernie sanders that called themselves democrat. >> is he thaed. he's not that today. >> and next puerto rico and t caribbean and florida and we'll hear from the governor of puerto rico about how they are getting ready ahead. re for this day... and i'm still not ready. the reason i'm telling you this is that there will be moments in your life that... you'll never be ready for. your little girl getting married being one of them. ♪ ♪ kevin, meet yourkeviner. kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin trusted advice for life. kevin, how's your mom? life well planned. see what a raymond james financial advisor can do for you. fothere's a seriousy boomers virus

bernie has one idea, and i have others. we can talk about them later. >> in addition to the congressional budget office, you've been talking about the jimmy kimmel test and whether preexisting conditions will be covered. we think the best reading is that states could allow insure to hers charge higher premiums to those with preexisting conditions. do you think the current standards in a protect people with prekpirsing conditions like erin should remain in place under new legislation? >> we have those new standards in our by those premiums, i'm not making those up. $39,000 for a couple for one year. let me speak of what our bill does say. our bill says that, one, you can't deny people insurance because of their health status, and, two, if a state wishes to do something different, for the state to get the approval to do something different, they shall show that those get affordable coverage. it's certainly not $39,000 a year. affordable means able to be afforded. the subtext of what you're saying, jake, is that some governor

because bernie couldn't name one? bernie didn't take millions of dollars for paid speeches? bernie didn't run the clinton foundation or set up a private e-mail server? >> i know. feels so uncomfortable to relitigate this over and over. same time in ways, get the book out. it's well before mid-terms. gets 2016 out of the way. obviously wanted to write a book and has something to say about the democratic pa erty. we know from covering it is a mess right now. whether this book helps break open more wounds to heal or serves as a diversionary tactic, we'll see. >> two separate wounds in the democratic party this salts. first, bernie supportered still feeling mistreated by the dnc and the policy issue she points to. the desire of the base for more a bernie-style platform she never seems to have come to grips with. >> good reading into 2020. waiting for the white house briefing to start in about a half hour. wolf blitzer in the chair for that. just like the people every business is different. but every one of those businesses will need legal help as they age and grow. whether it be

how are bernie sanders supporters sexist? this is the week sexist group aa history of sexism, what does that mean? >> bernie sanders got up so easily in the campaign and all the postmortems about what happened, somebody who talked about nationalizing the banks, the oil industry and telecom. i guarantee it is not one of your viewers knows that because nobody during the campaign talked about that. >> tucker: he said it every speech. >> talking about naturalizing the banks, the oil companies and telecom in his speeches. >> tucker: i'm not defending bernie sanders' silly socialism at all. i do think you are allowed to have opinions that are different from hillary clinton. you are allowed to try and break the monopoly she had in the democratic party. indeed it turns out legally you are allowed to run against her in the democratic primary. that's a real complaint, that someone would dare run against her. >> here's the complaint -- you are belittling it. >> tucker: intentionally. >> great. one-third of the people who voted for sande

of green party was there socialist alternative was there what are your thoughts on the whole draft bernie movement that's going on basically getting him to create a third party well i think it's you know whether bernie decides to do it or not i think it's good and necessary for people to realize that the democratic party needs an outside force to help them change if they're changeable right and i've made this point a lot on my show that if everybody i knew on the left who agreed with a green new deal would have voted their conscience and in november instead of voting out of fear that that the green new deal would have got maybe fifteen percent of the vote or twenty percent of the vote because that's how many lefties agreed with it and if they would have voted for that it would have completely changed politics in america bernie would have taken jill stein to offer and run as an independent then it probably would still have trump we've got trump anyway he decided to back a neo liberal corporate warmonger and we got trump anyway so that strategy has been failed so this is to let people know

don't blame bernie because donald trump called you names. i promise you he was gonna do that anyway. [ laughter ] it's not like trump watched bernie at the debates and thought, "criticizing hillary, that just might work." [ laughter ] and hey! you think trump needed bernie's permission to be an asshole? assholes don't ask for permission. that's what makes them assholes. [ light laughter ] and hey! why are you wasting pages on bernie? do you think he's gonna read this? he's not. first off, he's not a fan, second off, bernie's not paying $17.99 for a book. [ laughter ] that's like four and a half chicken noodle soups. "i'll read that book for free when it's at my local library!" and hey, bernie is not the reason you lost. you know how i know that? you beat trump by three million votes. [ cheers and applause ] if you want to blame something ancient, blame the electoral college. we shouldn't be running the most important elections on earth on a system designed over 200 years ago to appease slave owners. if "american idol" ran their voting like t

not quite what bernie sanders is talking about now. but there was this approval it seems, not a full endorsement, of senator cassidy's bill that they proposed, does that have a chance? is the white house trying to push this? what's going on? >> that's a good question. i mean, i think on health care more than tax reform it's an interesting contrast. on tax reform the president even though we had very few details, it's an issue he understands. it's an issue he's very passionate about. and it's an issue where there's clear things he wants. so for instance the 15% corporate tax rate. on health care from the very beginning when it first started in the house what the president really wanted was to kind of get it out of the way and to get a win. so i think on health care what they want is to get obamacare repealed and replaced and i think that's why you're seeing the president be more willing to see what plan does that, if it is that plan that's something the white house could potentially put its weight behind, although i think it's too early

bernie's attacks caused lasting damage. by the way, did you see what trump's opponents cause -- >> if we take this excerpt and it's probably going to be a big book, and all that, if you take the excerpt, it's part and parcel of hillary clinton, who is not willing to accept that they're not responsible. everybody says i know it's my fault, but let me tell you if it was not for bernie sanders. >> she completely -- she didn't only just do it in the book she has said it ever since the loss happened. but i do think that there is a very legitimate frustration and you see it in this excerpt and will probably see it more in the book, in that she couldn't go all out on bernie sanders the way that he went all out on her? >> did he go out on her -- saying i didn't care about your damn e-mails. >> there was a report where he said basically, president obama would not let me. not acceptable. >> it is one of the issues she talked about. >> excuse me, millions of people voted for senator sanders, sthe just called themselves democrats. >> t

you're going to keep the bernie people, what better way than to pick a bernie topic. kennedy: that's interesting, as people are trying to pull bernie sanders out of the democratic party trying draft him with a different party but kamala harris trying to hold onto bernie supporters. >> this is nothing but a cross-political move to win the bernie bros over. she failed to mention every american would lose health insurance and taxes would go through the roof if you had single payer. and the thing that's so interesting about democrats's solutions to health care is they want to go down the single payer route which we're in on a collision course for and republicans in d.c. don't have the guts to say no, single payer does not address at the heart of the issue of health care problem which is cost. and we've allowed the cost structure two, thirds of our hospital system, they're nonprofits acting as massive profit generating revenue streams, northwestern hospital in chicago, 3.8 billion in patient revenue in 2015 alone acting as a nonprofit? we are asking for cost inflation if w

for a draft bernie townhall this weekend. maria, it looks like your party is in the throw of a civil war. the westerny believers are much behind the one-man band. >> think we have challenges in the party. to be fare the gop has a different challenge, their own challenge is uniting the party. despite the most ardent bernie supporters feel he's not forming a new party. think it's a zero chance. i would love him joining the democratic party for a nomination of president. i think it's a pipe dream. >> wouldn't you acknowledge he represents the soul of the left. >> no, i disagree with that. >> who? >> the problem is nobody does right now. that's the problem. i don't think it's bernie sanders. i don't believe it's elizabeth warren. i don't think that's the soul of the democratic party. >> i think her star has faded and bernie continues to wax. >> part of the party. it's not the soul of the party. what we're doing is soul searching to find out who does and where we're headed. there are competing priorities. it's a painful process as

i don't think it will be bernie sanders. i think there's probably going to be some sort of governor out there that we're not think about right now, you know, as much as bill clinton was leading up to 92. >> one name, by the way i saw milling around, there was a top 15 list of who could fill that void and one was chris murphy, a senator from connecticut. you come back to the bill clinton coming out of nowhere. is that what the democrats will need to make some sort of splash >> the traditional game plan is you travel the country next year, campaigning for democrats all over the country. that way, you get known, you boost your profile. we'll see who's going to be out there. >> gary, got a question a lot of people have been critical of hillary clinton, you know, during the campaign, afterwards and here we are again with the book about to come out. is this really about hillary clinton and her qualifications or i know there was people who just weren't ready for a woman to be in that office. what do you think >> the polling certain
