senator elizabeth warren commenting that biden could use his existing authority under the higher education act to order the department of education to cancel student loan debt which by the way is clearly sitting at about $1.7 trillion. james, this is -- what i think is interesting about all of this is that it's not even december yet and she's already pushing for more progressive action and is trying to push mitch mcconnell to side on all of this. >>.james: i think taxpayers hae to be infuriated if they've been watching the drama over the last several years, politicians like senator elizabeth warren who when they were add v advocatinge big expansion of the program kept telling us it would be a big winner for taxpayers. now the government is looking at $400 billion in losses on their

joining us is the conservative political strategist and elizabeth anka, professor of political science at george washington university. i want to begin in washington, d.c. let's talk about the divide within the u.s.. it is not a daily political divide. it seems to be more ideological than that and it seems to be rooted in police violence and racism, in the economy, the handling of the coronavirus crisis. would you suggest this is the most divided you have seen american society? >> as a student, there have been times in our country where we have been more divided, but i believe that for this moment in our nation that we are deeply divided. many people woke up wednesday morning, despite the fact that there has not been an answer on who will lead the country, though many believe that vice president biden is in a strong position, but many were disappointed that there is this deep divide, that nearly half of america decided to vote for a candidate that has been deeply aligned with racism and sexism and homophobia and xenophobia. that there was a decision in this country to side with that id

and so even if it's not elizabeth warren, if it's not bernie sanders there a lot of folks on the left would love to be in that position. emma who would love to crack down on some of those industries that the left loves to hate. energy, transportation, banking. they can do it. they can get aggressive with enforcement. they can make a lot of trouble part even if congress ever passes a law about it. kennedy: even though congress was so mad at president trump for so long, they did not do anything about executive power when they could have. they just left the obama nest starting in 2009. and it really started the second bush administration. and we have never looked back. so who are some of the names that give you the most heartburn on this list? who could do the most damage as head of government agencies? >> well we already talked about two of them for sure. look, i doubt they're going to leave their positions but even if it's not elizabeth warren, there are a lot of elizabeth warren acolytes out there who could end up at the top of the treasury department. let me say this. lyle brainard i

elizabeth: absolutely. one of the most interesting things that i saw observing what played out last week for the election and the aftermath is groups arose around the #stopthe steal. facebook has this balancing act. on the one hand, they want to allow people to protest and say they don't leave in the election, they want to be a platform for people to say those things. at the same time, a lot of what those groups are being mobilized on and fueled by is misleading information. not just accidental but active campaigns, like those put out by steve bannon. facebook removed a network tied to steve bannon last week, former trump strategist, where they are so misinformed about the voting process, none of these misleading claims ound sharpies in arizona, dead people voting in pennsylvania, biden purportedly claiming to support voter fraud -- those claims have not borne out, so these popular movements to contest the election is fueled by misinformation. while facebook and twitter want to stop the misinformation, they

senator elizabeth warren has been very good on this issue. she pushed quite an ambitious plan and is still pushing today. biden has taken up some elements of that plan. he still needs to go further. as i said, because of covid, he has said he will immediately cancel $10,000 of student debt, including in his racial equity plan. post about this most of the question now is how is he going to do the and will he do more? we are committed to building a movement to ensure the biden administration cancels far more than $10,000 of student debt. again, we should believe -- we believe he should cancel all of it. the department of education already possesses -- the biden administration can erase all student debt on day one. research shows it is possible. senators warren and schumer have embraced this legal argument and indeed the trump administration already has used his authority to cancel interest rates -- interest on student loans a few months ago because of the pandemic. soe are in a very interesting moment where public pressure could really actually

elizabeth warren, bernie sanders has no future. if she wants to be the secretary of treasury, she is not going to get confirmed by republican senate. her future is over because as geraldo said, socialism has no future in this country at this point. donald trump destroyed the blue wave. there was no blue wave at all. this country is center right. and one of the reasons why is because a lot of people who are former democrats such as myself, we bought into the trump message and that's why i'm on your show supporting donald trump. >> bill: i get that here is what she proposes. just part of it, geraldo, make the following a priority. cancel student debt, raise the minimum wage, declare climate change a crisis. maybe joe biden does that maybe he doesn't. there was a clear tug-of-war within the democratic party on a lot of this. >> in terms of the climate, biden can with executive order rejoin the paris accord. i don't think that that is beyond realistic. i think that he may, in fact, do that but the other agenda items. the $15 an hour mi
