for more, let's turn to senator bernie sanders of vermont for his reaction. senator, good to have you with us tonight. i've got to ask you, if the talking filibuster isn't in it, if the 41 rule isn't in it, where is the teeth in this filibuster reform that might happen? your thoughts, sir. >> there won't be much in the way of teeth. what you'll see is some improved efficiencies. the senate will move a little bit faster. but in essence, what tom harkin said is absolutely right. what we have seen is an unparalleled level of obstructionism time after time when we're trying to create jobs, trying to deal with global warming, trying to deal with income inequality. they throw 60 vote, 60 votes, 60 votes. if we don't have the talking filibuster, having 41 votes to maintain the filibuster, then we're simply not going to be able to address the serious problems facing the american people. >> so does this mean in your opinion that the 113th could be a lot like the 112th if the minority party decides to act like that? >> it won't be as bad. i think this will be some impr

joining me now is bernie sanders, an independent from vermont. let me read to you what you wrote in a statement yesterday. this way all of our viewers can be on the same page about where you are. i remain extremely concern that all of his key economic advisers have come from wall street. in my view we need a treasury secretary prepared to stand up to corporate america and powerful lobbyists and fight for policies that protect the worker families in our country. senator sanders, why do you think jack lew and his experience on wall street is his biggest discounter for moving into treasury secretary? >> i think the problem is that wall street right now, thomas, is the most powerful entity in the united states of america. i think we need people in a variety of positions, including the secretary of the treasury, who is prepared to stand up to the incredible wealth and power. let me give you one example, sixth largest financial institutions in the country, $9 trillion, two-thirds the gdp of the united states of america. three out of the four largest fi

good for bernie sanders, bernie sanders voted against this deal yesterday because he said it was a joke. i am not sure who else voted against it. we will check that during the break. here it is. we thought we were going to fix the filibuster. you know what? tom harkin said this. tom harkin said if we don't fix the filibuster president might as well take a vacation for the next four years because he is not the going to be able to get anything done. i have to tell you i am so disappointed in this and leader harry reid if if democrats don't get anything done on immigration reform can't get judges passed through the senate, can't get anything done on gun control because of filibuster, filibuster filibuster, it's their own damn fault for not changing it when they had the opportunity they had the moment they had the votes. filibuster reform. we were ready for it. it ain't going to happen. 866-55-press. 866-557-7377. alt are democrats such wimps? i don't get it. i don't get it. >> heard around the country and seen on current tv this is "the bill press show." schmooze >> okay, so there's wiggle

. >> i want to bring in independent senator bernie sanders to talk more about that. as she said, senator, and welcome to you, gun control just one of many issues congress is going to have to deal with. debt ceiling debate now postponed until may. the sequestering, the continuing resolution. and republicans are pushing for changes in entitlements. is this in large part about where the white house decides where to put its political capital? >> kwlourks know what, we have also forgotten in this discussion, we remain in the midst of a terrible, terrible recession. counting people who have given up looking for work and underemployed. we are looking at -- almost 15% of our population who is unemployed, who don't have jobs. real wages for millions of workers are going down. the gap between the very, very wealthy and everybody else is growing wider. so what concerns me is, yeah, you have to deal with gun control. deal with a lot of other issues, but we cannot -- we cannot forget the reality that tens and tens of millions of working people are really hurting. >> how would you

bernie sanders has said he will not vote for him. he said in my view, we need a treasury secretary who is prepared to stand up to corporate america and their powerful lobbyists and fight for policies that protect the working families in our country. i do not believe mr. lew is that person. it is worth noting, in 2008 jack lew oversaw one of the most controversial branches of citigroup and there has been -- we talked about it yesterday. we're talking about wall street and the white house and the university system being the military industrial complex of our time, quoting gabe sherman from "new york magazine" piece. there is a pipeline between this stuff, and when you have a treasury secretary that's setting monetary policy, should he be someone that is theoretically in could ka hoots with the street? >> that strikes me as a crazy attack from bernie sanders because lew -- it is true that lew wrote for citigroup. he is probably the most liberal group of the cabinet. he has spent his whole career on the left of the democratic party. you

bernie sanders and i usually follow and probably do in this case too bernie sanders as progressive as they come in the united states congress, bernie sanders said yesterday look, this is not a perfect deal by any means but voting for this, which he did voting for this, was more important was important. it was better to vote for this he said than to allow the country to go over the cliff and to allow the economy to collapse and to accept what might happen to the markets and to the loss of our credit rating. so that leading liberal said we ought to go -- president did the right thing. tom harkin, another leading liberal said the president did the wrong thing. should not have accepted this small deal and voted against it. what do you say? make a big mistake here? or do the right thing. 1-866-55-press. we're not out of the woods. with very one or two more battles that will be even uglier than the last one coming up. let's talk about it here on the "full court press" this thursday morning. >> announcer: this is the "full court press." the "bill press show." live on your radio and on curren

bernie sanders has exposed the fed giving out trillions of dollars in addition to the tarp bailout. >> barney frank has taken a hike. >> that is worth talking about. you see in this congress michele bachmann and michele bachmann one of these -- wannabe's. there are fights about redistricting. >> use of the one strength the president obama, his rhetorical skill, is not sufficient. >> it has not been used at the scale necessary in this time of crisis. america is in a crossroads. this is a moment comparable to coming out of the great depression. this was a moment coming out of the financial crisis when tectonic shifts are under way in this country. hope is not a policy. policy is a wonky word. hope needs a story, a narrative. here is what is going on in this country. president obama now is speaking more forcefully about what he wants to do it and against smoking out those who are obstructing. this is really wonky. anyway, i think one of the most exciting things are the movements of our times. i closed this book out before occupy. i wrote about wisconsin. our correspondent was there for 5
