schumer: let's hope he will negotiate in a bar partisan way. thus far, every time he has done it in a partisan way, it has not worked. there is a democratic house. they need democratic votes in the senate. >> you said you would encourage your members to meet with republicans. this proposal is a full trillion dollars less than what you are proposing. is this something that you think -- sen. schumer: bipartisan proposal. again, what is needed to get things done. one thing i noted about the earlier question about mcconnell and whether he will jam us and those things, remember there were republicans in that group. while it is not what we had asked for, there were republicans that stood up and said they wanted this amount of money. i would not assume that everyone will go down the path of mitch mcconnell this time, when you have states like maine that have had so many small businesses close. that was a yelp study showed 800 small businesses are closing a day. we have restaurants that have tried to hang in and cannot do it anymore. we have a vaccine

senator schumer and i am talking about. that is 1 percent will go to the top 5 percent of americans. virtually, nothing goes to the query. rich. an overwhelming majority of those funds go to middle class, the class in the low income people who in the midst of this pandemic are in desperate economic condition. now again, i am delighted to hear the majority leader talking about socialism for the rich. and hopefully we willus continue that discussion in the next session brightest let mehe talk about the socialism for the rich, that the majority leader is enthusiastically supportive of. majority leader, we need this body to pass trumps tax bill. you want to talk about socialism for the rich. mr. majority leader. under that bill, charles cope, one of the very richest people in america, his net worth of $113 billion. that bill, gave him a $1.4 billion tax break. the majority leader, that sounds to me like socialism for the rich. but that's not all. in nevada, we have a gentleman ntme shuttle children, major contributor to the rep

in that spirit, i welcome leader schumer to the podium. leader schumer: thank you, speaker pelosi, and thank you for your steadfastness in working for american families and their needs. now, while this bill is far from it is not the bill we would pass if the democrats had the majority in the senate, but it is a strong shot in the arm to help american families weather the storm. for the millions of people who would lose unemployment benefits the day after christmas, help is on the way. to the millions of small business owners who are worried their businesses would go under, help is on the way. to family struggling with less payments mean help is on the way. to people who might have been evicted from their homes if they did not have a job, could not afford it, help is on the way. to those who need food, because they have no money because of the pandemic, help is on the way, and to all of america who would like to make sure that the vaccine is distributed free and , help is onuickly the way. so this bill is certainly not everything we wanted.

schumer: by all rights, a bill should have passed months ago. the country needed it. but we all know what happened. the republican majority caused of delay eight months and gridlock. 20 members of the senate no money.anted when the republican leader months he ets, for said, let's examine the crisis. on pause while democrats were demanding more action. the idea that this was -- this delay was caused by was alice in wonderland history. republican majority that didn't want to vote for the money. host: $600 stimulus is merely making it look like, and those re in caps, government is trying to help. and then decor from twitter as inhe cequitable. a few dollars over the limit. and now support home office overhead that three companies used to pay. bills are up and my legislators slapped me in the again.r zero for me "the washington post," just to this ght, $1.4 billion in package for border wall construction. technology. also an unexpected tax break for lobbied meal expenses by the white house and strongly denounced by congressional democrats, according to two eople with know

host: democratic leader chuck schumer yesterday. the majority leader mitch mcconnell, after he objected to senator schumer's request for a vote, he objected to independent -- the's bernie sanders senate approved the bill after it overrides the veto. mitch mcconnell objected and then went to adjourn the senate, but before doing so, said he would tie -- made the vague mention to the $2000 checks -- high that issue to election 230,ity as well as section 1996 law that provides legal protections to social media companies. here's the majority leader. >> i want to applaud president trump for signing the bill and getting the much needed assistance into the pipeline. during this process, the president highlighted three additional issues of national significance he would like to see congress tackle. first, as he explained, the president like further direct support for american households. second is the growing willingness to at least re-examine the special legal protections afforded to technology companies under section 230 of the communicati

schumer: mr. president? the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. schumer: now, mr. president, i was prepared this afternoon to speak about the business the senate must address, and i will do that. but first i must respond to the recent announcement by the junior senator from missouri that he intends to contest the certified votes of the electoral college when congress meets to count those votes next week. the process for electing american presidents is provided for in our constitution and laws. the process has been followed fully, fairly. the results have been dually certified by the governors of the states and they have been reviewed an confirmed by the courts many times over. the result is that joe biden and kamala harris won the election by overwhelming margins in both the popular vote and electoral vote. the biden-harris ticket received more than 81 million votes, more than any ticket in american history. that was over seven million more votes than trump-pence. the biden-harris ticket won the electoral college 306-332, the same president trump called a landslide

chuck schumer said, now we take georgia, then we change america." we all know what that change would be. they want to raise taxes on hard-working georgians, they want to defund the police, open our borders, implement the green new deal. i am fighting for every single georgian to live the american dream i was blessed to live. greg: do you believe the election was rigged? rev. warnock: there are 250 investigations open, including an investigation into one of my opponent's organizations. for voter fraud. and we have to make sure that georgians trust this process because of what is at stake in this election. you know, the promise that chuck schumer made was to fundamentally change america. i'm making sure we do not go down the road of socialism. russ: lisa, your turn to ask the question of rev. warnock. , there arepastor those who are uncomfortable with someone switching from the pulpit to the senate floor in washington. if elected, how will you navigate the u.s. constitution edict separating church and state? rev. warnock: thank you so very much. i wan

watching schumer and mcconnell go at each other this morning. bernie jumping in trying to get -- use the leverage of the defense bill to try to get the stimulus checks to people. the president jumping in, in the middle of all this. will the stimulus checks even come through? this $2,000? will the $600 make a difference as the economy is slowing down and people are really in desperate need. what can joe biden do, in fact? >> well, you hit it just right. this is, obviously, an economic story that can be told in economic numbers and metrics but it's a humanitarian crisis. it's a crise bis about our neighbors, our friends, our fellow americans. when you look at numbers like the unemployment rate looking like it's doing better at 6.7%, the truth is the economic policy institute and others think the true number is closer to 11.2%. there's estimated right now that 36% of americans are having trouble just paying normal expenses. 17 million children are facing some kind of lack of food. 17 million in our own country. and i think there's just more hardshi

[background noises] senate minority leader chuck schumer also held a briefing with reporters at the capitol earlier today. he discusses party's legislative agenda, covid-19 relief legislation and the electoral college votes. this is about ten minutes. >> [background noises] met good afternoon everyone and want to thank senators casey and her owner for joining me. now 2020 was a year full of bad news for the country. but it is coming to an end with some good news. very good news. over the past eight to nine months, science, biochemists and researchers rest to produce a vaccine for the covid-19 pandemic. and they succeeded in it made seeing extraordinary way. we don't have just one but several candidates for a vaccine. each of which have shown to be 90% effective in clinical trials. yesterday america crossed two milestones. the first gremlin. 300,000 americans lives lost due to covid. the second, a crowning scientific achievement to the 2t century. the first covid vaccines administered from one end of the country to another. it was an amazing sight to see the first american and nokia-against

if chuck schumer is the majority leader, this will all happen again. this kind of package will happen again. it will be more targeted, it will be more helpful. it's a remarkable package, though, as it is within this $900 billion. to hear chuck schumer saying that there's $46 billion in there, for mass transit. if you were trying to pass an infrastructure bill and get $46 billion for mass transit now, you couldn't do it. but it's in this package. and mostly as budgetary relief for these mass transit systems, especially in northeast california, around the country, that have no revenue, really, because they don't have passengers. people aren't using them. they're not going to work the way they used to. so there's some very solid pieces of this that the democrats will definitely build on, only if they have the majority in the senate. >> you know, i think the questions that a lot of folks at home are wondering is, okay, fine, they passed this. how long, then, does it take for americans to see the tangible benefits of this bill? >> well, you know, that's par

proposal through a pelosi and speaker senator schumer last night. let me tell you where i think we are. leader mccarthy and i have been in discussions with the secretary of the treasury and the president's chief of staff to ascertain what the president would actually sign into law. i think we have a sense of what that is. a call we hadt in just a little while ago. we will send that out to all the offices and get some back to see how our members react to a proposal we can say for sure would be signed into law. i think the one think we agree on is we don't have time for messaging games. we don't have time for lengthy negotiations. the issue is do we want to get a result? i would like to remind everyone the way to get a result is you have to have a presidential signature. i felt the first thing we needed to do was find out what the president would in fact sign. we believe we have the answer to that. that on ourng side and we will let you know if we think there is any way forward. certainly we know we can say, i hope, this is something that would be sig

the senate's top democrat chuck schumer says he will try to quickly pass the bill on the senate floor tomorrow. and now vermont senator bernie sanders says he will filibuster and override the defense bill veto approved tonight in the house until mcconnell allows a vote on the $2,000 direct payments to americans. that bipartisan house vote to reject donald it up's veto of the $741 billion defense bill sets up the first override of donald trump's presidency, weeks before he leaves office. 109 republicans broke with the president to vote for the override, and it has now been more than two weeks since we've actually heard directly from the president in public. he has yet to comment personally on the christmas day bombing in nashville, and he has said nothing in recent days about the latest covid surge or the staggering loss of american lives. president-elect joe biden, meanwhile, did speak to the nation today after a meeting with national security experts. he began by thanking members of law enforcement for their work on the nashville case. then he said this about the trump administration

schumer: thank you, madam president. now, the senate is here this week for a rare holiday session to address for major issues -- two major issues. the president's veto of the annual defense bill and the effort to send $2,000 survival checks to millions and millions of american families, something senate democrats strongly support. the senate should be in session toll address both issues. there are only a few days left in this session. we should not adjourn until the senate holds a vote on both measures, the ndaa veto override and the house bill to provide $2,000 checks for the american people. as we all know, the majority leader controls the schedule on the floor so leader mcconnell holds the key to unlocking this dilemma. the solution is a simple one. put both bills up for a simple up-or-down vote and then let the chips fall where they may. i believe both measures will pass as they should. but leader mcconnell must allow the senate to vote on both pieces of legislation, the defense bill and the $2,000 checks, before we

nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. when chuck schumer says first we take georgia and then we change america. he is not saying change it from the better for center to right georgia. americans like divided government. that's one thing the democrats will face in this election. people want to tap the brake. they don't want somebody to have it all free and clear under their control. that's an advantage for the republicans as we get closer to january 5th. >> john: we were told that the president indicated that last night at a christmas party last night that he will run again in 2024. he said i will either see you for another 4 years or see you in 4 years. would he declare on inauguration day and what effect would that have on the republican party if he did that? >> i fully expect him to make lots of noise about running in 2024. i don't know if he announces on january 20th. he has a sense of timing that is built in. i expect him to indicate an interest in 2024. he set up a committee save america with 125-million dollars. mayb

chuck schumer said it best. now we take georgia, then we change america. they would increase taxes, open borders, socialize our health care. my opponent, radical liberal, is list agent of change. someone that has falsely used the bible to attack our military. the bible never said we serve -- that you condition serve gan't america. i'm working hard for every single georgian. i'm kelly loeffler. i'm asking for your vote on january 5th. thank you and may god bless america. >> thank you, senator. revr reverend? >> i'm one of 12 children in my family. i'm number 11. the first college graduate. these are dark and difficult times. amidst the fog of this pandemic and the economic turn, even during this season of joy, it's hard to find joy. i think about my dad in a moment like this. god bless his memory. he used to wake me up and down and say, get ready, get dressed, put your shoes on. it was dawn. it was morning, but it was still dark. it's dark right now. morning is on the way. it's our job, to put our shoes on and get ready. there are those engaged in the polit

schumer: and keep the roof over their heads. in the wealthiest nation on earth, modern day deadline stretch for miles down american highways. the fastest way to get money into america's pockets is to send some of their tax dollars right back from where they came. $2000 to meals checks can mean the difference between american families having groceries, and for a few extra weeks. or going hungry. in the difference between paying the rent or being kicked out of your home that you lived in for years. they could buy precious time for tens of millions of people as the vaccine, thankfully makes his way across the country. of course, we could've taken of this issue weeks ago. and the covid-19 bill democrats wanted january direct payment to the american people and speaker pelosi and i repeatedly asked our republican a counterparts hw much they could support. their answer, $600. the compromise that any of us were not happy about . i came to the floor myself with the senator from vermont to ask we double at least the size of those checks.

chuck schumer, he needs to get a new speechwriter. his speeches are getting really old, blaming everybody except to the blame is. do you blame speaker pelosi on this one? well, she wants money for stuff that has nothing to do with this current situation. people are out there losing their businesses, they can't feed their kids. they need this money and instead she wants to prop up these failed pension plans in these failed democratic states and cities. they need the money and they need it now. host: are you concerned about the overall spending price of this package, almost $1 trillion? well, they supposedly put money in there that wasn't spent from the first bill that was passed. as a republican conservative, i am concerned that the republicans are doing for the democrats to, throw money at everything. but we got people hurt and -- hurtin in this country. they need the money and they need it now. about the passage of this bill, yesterday, "more will be looked at come the new year under a new administration with ."den harris thatwashing

host: following the house action, chuck schumer promising to push the effort in the senate for $2000 checks to americans in response to the coronavirus pandemic. here is what he wrote last night. following the strong bipartisan vote in the house, i will pass legislation's to quickly deliver americans with to quickly deliver americans with $2000 emergency checks. fory senate democrat is this financial relief which can be reproved -- approved tomorrow if no republicans block it. american workers and families are crying out for help. mitch mcconnell has not indicated whether or not he supports these to thousand dollars checks will bring it up for a vote. politico notes senate minority leader chuck schumer will try to pass the house built by unanimous consent today. republicans are expected to object. have resistedors higher stimulus checks. take several days to set up a roll call vote on the proposal and it would need to garner 50 votes. it's all occurring during what should be a holiday break for congress. days left of this congress. the senate will convene today. you can watch the flo

chuck schumer said it the other day. couldn't be clearer. he said, now we take georgia, hen we change america. well, let's send a message to chuck schumer and those washington democrats. we're going to keep georgia, we're going to save the senate, then we're going to save america. [cheers and applause] you know, i saw joe biden was in tlanta just the other day. he said that we didn't need to send kelly loeffler and david perdue back to washington. because he said we don't need two senators that are, quote, just going to get in the way. well, georgia, that's exactly what we need in the united states senate. [cheers and applause] we need david perdue and kelly loeffler to get in the way of higher taxes! we need david perdue and kelly loeffler to get in the way of open borders, socialized are ine, a green new deal, you with me? we need two georgia senators who will get in the way of the radical agenda of the democratic party and fight for georgia every day. [cheers and applause] that's why we need georgia to say no to them and yes to david perd

minority leader chuck schumer says he will try to force a vote on the increase today. adding to all of that drama, senator bernie sanders is now saying he plans to filibuster a vote to override the president's veto of a huge defense bill until senators vote on the pay boost. he says in a statement, "mitch mcconnell wants to vote to override trump's veto of the $740 billion defense funding bill and head home for the new year? i'm going to object until we get a vote on legislation to provide a $2,000 direct payment to the working class. let me be clear -- if senator mcconnell doesn't agree to an up or down vote to provide the working people of our country a $2,000 direct payment, congress will not be going home for new year's eve. let's do our job." meantime, president trump appearing to voice his support for sanders' efforts on twitter, also posting this. "$2,000 for all gay people, not $600. they have suffered enough from the china virus." you are watching "outnumbered." i'm julie banderas. here today, fox news contributor lisa boothe, host of "no interruption" on fox

chuck schumer brought it up, said he wanted to vote today. mitch mcconnell saying at least for the time being that's not going to happen. and the dow is now at a suggestion low. when it come -- session low. end when it comes to stimulus, the $2,000 already seems to be baked into the cake here. >> i think it is baked into the cake, and i agree with john, this is all about the vaccine and how quickly we're able to get some hrd immunity. -- herd immunity. the vaccine is much slow orer than what we expected, so i think it's going to be pushed back a couple months until we have normalcy. i also think the stimulus bill has a rot more importance -- a lot more importance perhaps than what john thinks. without the first stimulus bill, companies go bankrupt. they have been on life support, and the only way we can get them across this chasm is the next stimulus bill. i think it's the lack of stimulus that will move a ton on the downside. jackie: yeah. it's going to be interesting to see how this stake -- shakes out. the markets will be closed on friday

i welcome leader schumer to the podium. thank you, speaker pelosi and thank you for your steadfastness. while this bill is far from , nor is it a bill that we would pass, it is a strong shot in the arm to help american families to weather the storm. with a 20 million people who would lose unemployment benefits the day after christmas, help is on the way. to the small business owners who were worried that their small business would go under, help is on the way. to families struggling with less money, direct payments mean that help is on the way. to those who might have been evicted from their homes if they didn't have a job, help is on the way. to those who need food because they have no money in the pandemic, help is on the way, and to all americans who want to make sure that the vaccine is distributed freely, fairly, and quickly, help is on the way. this bill is not everything we wanted. friends stood in the way of so much, but it is a strong shot in the arm to get things going. we know president trump has made the economy

but chuck schumer said it best, now we take georgia then we change america. they would increase our taxes, open our borders, socializer healthcare in my opponent radical liberal rafael warnock is his agent of change, someone has falsely used the bible to attacker military. the bible never said that we serve -- that you can't serve god in the military. he's attacked a police officers, he wants to fundamentally change america into a socialist country. i'm not quite to let that happen i'm working hard for every single georgian and i'm kelly loeffler and i'm asking for your vote on january 5, thank you and may god bless america. russ: thank you, senator, reverend warnock your closing statement. raphael warnock: thank you so much and thank you to everybody who tuned into my eye rafael warnock, i one of 12 children in my family and i'm number 11, the first college graduate. listen, these are dark and difficult times. amidst the thick fog of this pandemic and the economic turn down even in this season of joy it's hard for people to find joy. i think about my dad in

. >> you have been listening to senate minority leader chuck schumer making the announcement millions of americans have been so desperately waiting for. congressional leaders reaching a deal on a $900 billion stimulus package. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying help is finally on the way. senate minority leader schumer saying it's far from perfect but also acknowledges it is the second largest stimulus bill in u.s. history, only after the cares act that was passed back in the spring. let's get right to cnn's manu raju on the hill. manu, what finally brought the two sides together? >> reporter: they realized they had no other choice. so many people are about to see their jobless benefits expire in a matter of days. more and more americans are filing for unemployment benefits. schools are needing money to reopen. people are seeing other tax breaks and the like expire. there are concerns about people being evicted as the federal eviction moratorium is about to expire as well as student loans, people having to defer those loans for sometime. those payments. that is also set to

nancy pelosi and chuck schumer made their own offers republican leadership but schumer would not reveal details. this framework effort likely a preview of what is to come in the new congress, moderates asserting themselves after donald trump, and concerned democrats, have gone over a progressive, recognizing divided government might provide them an opportunity. >> thank you so much. let's take a look at today's coronavirus headlines impacting you. the centers for disease control will soon issued new guidance cutting the quarantine time for people exposed to covid-19 from 14 to 10 days and just 7 days if you get a negative test. vaccine advisors to the cdc voting 13 to 1 today recommending healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities be the first to get any coronavirus vaccines that get fda approval. the circulation will be part of a phase i a, vaccine distribution. a study from tel aviv university claims people with asthma are 30% less likely to contract covid-19. researchers believe the reason may be because inhalers are in some way helping to stop or control the virus

as senator schumer just indicated we have a very unlikely ally in president trump. nobody here will disagree with trump more time than i haven't yet here is what the leader of the republican party says. he says $2000 asap. enen on this issue the president of the united states is right. so what all of this comes down to my fellow americans is not even whether you agree with senator schumer or myself in 78% of then american people or you agree with senator mcconnell and i suspect senator toomey. that's fine. we have differences of opinion. all that i am asking is give us a vote. what's the problem? about the united states senate to cast a vote as to whether or not they are for the 2000-dollar check or they are against it. we will need as they understand that 60 votes. i don't know that we are going to win. their number for republicans to their credit who are ready to vote for it. i suspect there may be more and when given the opportunity wolf vote for it. maybe i'm wrong. maybe we will lose and i think that would be unfortunate. all i'm asking for right now is give us

will chuck schumer wipe their debt to clean? how about people with car loans, or burdensome mortgages, or anyone who is helping to pay for their daughter's wedding? what about their debt? sorry, they are out of luck. unlike the education establishment, people like that are not big democratic donors. according to one analysis, writing off student debt in the way that schumer proposes would disproportionately help the most privileged in america. i.e., democratic voters. but you already knew that. here is another idea. why not make the people who benefited the most from the lockdown, the people who encouraged them from day one, pay for the effects of those markdowns. why wouldn't you assess, i don't know, amazon and apple and goldman sachs and google and netflix and walmart, all the big winners in this pandemic, why wouldn't you assess them a one-time covid fee, take it out of their record profit, and make them pay for the next bailout? why are you paying for it? jeff bezos, for example, is now the richest man in the history of the

chuck schumer is the leader of the senate democrats. in that position, he is always at the center of negotiations but he was not a part of the group of senators that reached a bipat s bipa bipartisan agreement. he agreed because that is the best of what they can do. and that agreement is going absolutely nowhere, and today, chuck schumer went to the senate floor to explain why. >> make no mistake, right now, there's one person, just one person standing in the way. and that is leader mcconnell. >> mitch mcconnell is not just a member of, he is the leader of the organized conspiracy for the purposes of maintaining power for the self-interest of the donor class. mitch mcconnell doesn't think there is enough for his donor class in the $900 billion compromise bill. senator schumer explained what mitch mcconnell wants for his donor class in his compromised bill. >> you will hear voices say democrats want to fund state and local services and republicans, that is leader mcconnell, wants corporate liability shield. each side wants something that

biden, schumer, and pelosi, to not back up from what they've committed to them, in terms of what they're going to implement in the biden administration relative to this socialist agenda, so, look. president trump is coming down monday night. i understand the vice president pence may be coming down on

yep, congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez is now publicly calling on pelosi and schumer to step aside. i'm actually in full agreement withle the congresswoman from new york. she wants them gone from leadership. so do i. it's long overdue. we will play the tape state ahead. a lot of chaos there. later, we will introduce the radical democrats that biden t would love to surround himself with, which includes a top aide that just called republicans a bunch of f words. so nice. liberal love, tolerance, open, all on display this christmas season. we begin tonight w on capitol hill but this morning sd an imperative, important hearing on election integrity. senator johnson was on fire today. take a look. >> a large percentage of the american public does not believe the november election results are legitimate. this i is not a sustainable stae of affairs in our democratic republic. there are many reasons for this high level of skepticism. it starts with today's climate of hyper partisanship, which is only exacerbated by the persistent efforts to delegitimize thets results of te 2016 election. t

vote in the senate to make the former chuck schumer the majority leader, right? and i think the only way republicans come if you look at history, they tend to do well -- doug collins mentioned this, the congressman a moment ago -- republicans historically do very well in runoffs in georgia. the way they can lose as if the democrats are united, which they are, and republicans are at each other's throats and divided. and even if you get -- because i am hearing on people on ground in that race, saying it is a very close race, both of them. perdue and loeffler have very tight races on their hands. it just takes a small sliver of trump supporters and republican voters to say it's not worth it, it's not worth my time, the whole thing is rigged, i'm not going to participate. if they sit out, that is the path to victory for the democratic party. they know it, which is why they are stoking these fires. and by the way, as you mentioned, lin wood, that attorney who is pretending, at least, to be, or putting himself out there as a big trump supporter, he is a two-time barack

goes after pelosi and schumer. does the president-elect, joe biden have an issue on the left side of his democratic party and if so, how do you think it affects his opening days in office? if he has been a moderate or like to call himself a moderate for many years in the senate as vice president but he is pushed by the left side of his party, how will that play itself out you think? >> yeah, that's right and it is nothing new. the left side of the party very often pushed against the middle saying its agenda is not being listened to close enough. that is normal tension within the democratic party. remember most of the united states is somewhere in the middle and that holds true for democrats as well. it is not an enormous part of the party that ocasio-cortez represents. she is very smart, she is highly articulate, very charismatic. she has really elevated the progressive wing of the democratic party. when she talks about the leadership issue particularly, she is kind of right. these are older members of congress. th

i want to concur with what senator schumer said. and what he said goes beyond economics. it goes beyond the desperation that tens of millions of working families are facing. it goes beyond the struggles of the people of vermont or kentucky. and let me just make it clear for the majority leader that ten out of the poorest 25 counties in the united states of america are located in kentucky. so many of my colleagues -- so maybe my colleague, the majority leader, might want to get on the phone and start talking to the working families in kentucky and find out how they feel about the need for immediate help in terms of a $2,000 check per adult. and i have the strong feeling that the people of kentucky will respond no differently than the people of vermont or new york. this last poll that i saw had 78% of the american people saying that they wanted and needed that type of help. but this discussion, frankly, is not just about the economic struggling of working families in this country. it's not just the massive levels of income and wealth and equality. it's about basic democracy
