senator klobuchar's gripe about him falls into this idea, amy. is this why pete buttigieg has struck such a nerve? >> i don't think so. i don't think it has to do with his age or the length of his resume. really, his politics need to appeal to the base of the democratic party. i think he's really challenged right now with appealing to a broad base of black voters, in particular black women. it's not the length of his resume, it's the content of his policies and his experience outreaching and connecting with black voters, as jonathan pointed out. you just can't within a nomination without appealing to those voters and essentially building a coalition that's going to ultimately be successful. i think there is a sense of sour grapes among some of the more experienced candidates who find themselves six months into a campaign and polling at the very low numbers and you can point to a lot of factors. >> yeah. >> but the fact is that polling numbers and money are not good indicators of who's ultimately going to be successful. it's that coalition that bu

klobuchar: that is one. i think increasing the minimum wage -- i have my own views on this -- would be helpful. one of our challenges is hooking up our education system with the jobs available right now and making sure everyone has access to those jobs. i do not think it always means a four year degree. some of the fastest growing job areas are one or two your degrees. there are 64,000 openings for electricians. one of the things i'm focused on is apprenticeships and trying to make it easier for people to access those kinds of degrees. could you talk about that? chair powell: i just met last week with six people who run apprenticeship programs and funding of apprenticeship programs around the country in our board room. low ando tell you itthey are fn moderate income communities. they are getting them in high schools and out of high schools and matching them up with employers who need those people. they are getting good jobs. it is working. the things that limits their ability to do this on a wider scale is f

senator klobuchar -- has expired. senator klobuchar. >> thank you for being here today. some of the issues i was going to raise have been discussed. the challenges with our economy, including the deficit, which was greatly exacerbated by the last tax bill. as well as problems in some sectors such as agriculture, which is very important to us in the midwest. i wanted to focus on a third issue, which is income inequality. even if people have jobs, it is often hard for them to afford things and then you have the added problems. the washington post reported in september that income inequality in america is the highest it has been since the census bureau started tracking it more than five decades ago. the top 1% have experienced inome growth of over 200% the last decades and between 2007 and 2016, the median wealth of lower income families fell by 42%. opinion, will widening inequality lead to lower growth expectations over the long-term? what should we be doing about this? chair powell: i would start by saying i think we probably would all agree that prosperity should be as

and that will be buttigieg, klobuchar. he has a great campaign at the moment and has the advantage of being in the debate, by far the most eloquent candidate. >> as we look at what has happened in the friday range that joe's talking about, we do see kamala harris pulling back from new hampshire. that's something to watch. beto o'rourke out of the race, as well. that's got to be a little bit of winnowing energy, shall we say. >> absolutely. with just 100 days until the new hampshire primary, we had kamala harris who was when she entered the 2020 race, she had that massive 20,000-person rally in her native oakland. and so we're seeing a drastic cut in her support in the state of new hampshire. of course, she's kind of sort of remains -- she said publicly that she remains committed to new hampshire. we can't help but notice on the ground talking to people there that she has cut significantly her staff. and there has been a bit of downward momentum for many weeks. so you know it's basically iowa or bust for her. i think she ad

she retweeted the story about amy klobuchar's point. this is 100% true. it doesn't mean buttigieg is not a worthy candidate. it means we should push ourselves to see same potential in promising women as we do in promising men. >> there are two things going on here. you have some jealousy, which in that quote people were getting to right there, buttigieg was one of the lower tiered candidatesme candidates. he really was able to stand out in the debates and has soared in iowa, so clearly people resent that, given his lack of experience, perhaps, here in washington. at the same time, klobuchar's point about she's a battle-tested candidate, these are things that she is going to be trying to point out to voters to say i am the better candidate. i have won in republican districts. i have won in districts that pete buttigieg has never even tried to win. there are points on both sides of this, but of course you have to think about jealousy, of course, factoring some of that, too. >> i think that it shows that democratic voters are looking for something new, maybe

it could also benefit somebody like klobuchar. again, being in the race right now with an organization like she has, an organization like mayor pete has, is really the best indicator. who has the best organization? who is starting to get traction now? some of the people that have been leading this thing, some of them are going to falter badly between now and the caucuses. i'd put -- as a long shot, i'd put it on that amy klobuchar may surprise people. >> wow. gentlemen. thank you very much. i appreciate it. have a great weekend. >> thank you, don. >>> did the white house silence colonel vindman? and is that evidence of a cover-up? nixon's former white house counsel john dean weighs in on that next. myles udland: morning! - what are you doing? myles udland: isn't it obvious? - nah. alexis christofouros: we're delivering live market coverage and offering expert analysis completely free. myles udland: we're helping you make sense of the markets without cable or a subscription from anywhere you are. - i get that. but what are you doin

senator klobuchar praised him and pivoted to her own experience. this is a good example where he has said the right words but i actually have the experience and leading 11 of the bills that are in that house passed bill you just referred to. and i think this kind of experience matters. >> harris: howie kurtz fox news media analyst and the host of media buzz. there is this push of well, women aren't going to beat up on men and is that a double standard or was there something else at play here? >> there is no question that kamala harris and amy klobuchar both pulled their punches they failed to repeat to his face what they said about him on the trail. call that a whiff regardless of gender. kamala harris certainly shown she is willing to mix it up as she did against joe biden against that early debate. i can't tell you since they are women they may have decided pete buttigieg sungt that much of a long-term threat and nobody was throwing punches on that stage including very few challenging questions in the msnbc nod der rarts kind of a kum ba yah deba

[laughter] amy klobuchar -- >> shannon: may be a changes after tonight. >> amy klobuchar, cory booker, kamala harris have the strongest nights. amy klobuchar had some of the best lines beyond raising $17,000 from ex-boyfriends, her senate campaign, she made a really pointed case for why she is the most electable, going back to her record and a number of purple and red districts that she has won. there is a bit of a race to occupy that second choice divided in the center lane and that is what pete buttigieg was doing, and amy klobuchar threw it down and said, hey, wait a ms actually accomplish these things. she had the great shadow to nancy pelosi. cory booker i felt was full of personality, some great lines about marijuana at the end with joe biden, i thought his personality was really radiating out of him and kamala harris did what she did in july, has not been able to since then. obviously, made up for her dealings with tulsi gabbard, going after her really hard. her focus on the importance of black women to the democratic party was crucial there, and highlighting systemic challenge

tune in this sunday for state of the union as amy klobuchar joins the show and democratic congress woman zoey loft gren at 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. eastern and our coverage on cnn continues right now. >>> this is a situation room special report. wolf blitzer is off today. i'm jim arks. we're tracking multiple breaking news this hour. terror overseas in london. two people are dead.

amy klobuchar and kamala harris round out those fields with 3% each. >> joining is deputy news editor for the washington examiner. david marsh. let's talk about some of these polls from mayor pete buttigieg seeing quite the surge. what is your reaction to that? >> mayor pete buttigieg spent significant amounts of time there, also another midwest state not terribly far from which he hails. i think also in that new hampshire poll it's worth noting he rose nine points, so even though he's still behind he has the momentum. i think what it means is come wednesday when the debate happens in atlanta wednesday night, he's going to be the next candidate in the barrel. all the other candidates are going to be kbgunning for him, targeting him, and he's going to probably be on the defensive an awful lot. >> let's turn back to the gubernatorial races the president has hitched his name to those tickets that they ended up losing. you got kentucky and then just over the weekend, the loss of the governor's mansion in the state of louisiana. what might this mean for president trump heading into 2020? s

he gives answers and does not -- the kind of sharpness they want and they look at pete buttigieg and klobuchar and they don't quite see a president there, at least not yet. iowans will be the ones who

you're hearing an applause as senator klobuchar short of throws a jab at president trump. so you're seeing that they like the sound of that. but what will actually resonate over this weekend beyond the cattle calls an the celebrations late last night, beyond the fish fry and the town halls that many of these candidates will have, we'll have to wait and find out. one person who is not mere, was scheduled to be here, is congressman beto o'rourke who dropped out making that announcement just a few hours before that celebration last night in des moines of 13,000 people. my sources are telling me this was an issue of fund-raising. he was known to be a big fund raiser, raised $80 million in his run against ted cruz. had a very big day on fund-raising. but after that didn't see the numbers that they expected to see play out as a result fund-raising being a big factor in him dropping out of the race and saying he will continue to advocate for gun reform in his future and doesn't plan right now anyway according to my sources to make a run for the senate in texas. ana? >> i got to w

my question is kamala harris if she goes out sooner or later, amy klobuchar, two senators have a life ahead of them. cory booker, how long does he hang in there? i don't know. what i'm trying to figure out is who else goes that has money, message and the ability to not let anything else get to that place they need to be? >> keep in mind the senators will all be sitting in the jury box stuck in washington possibly in january or december. they've got to sit there setting their hair on fire trying to get attention. >> someone else, right here. i heard recently although i haven't heard lately that because of the 2016 campaign and the way that it was gone already getting the nomination, bernie's team and campaign supporters feel like now he should get it as expected because he felt he was robbed in 2016 and therefore a lot of people chose to have voted differently. i was wondering how you feel about that as significant from insignificant, not the problem; what's going on with that? they voted differently when they didn't vote at all or they just chose -- frankly they did a lot of road voti

senator klobuchar, you said this of mayor buttigieg. quote, of the women on the stage do i think we would be standing on that stage if we had the experience he had, no i don't. maybe we're held to a different standard. senator, what did you mean by that? >> first of all, i made very clear i think pete is qualified to be up on this stage, and i am honored to be standing next to him. but what i said is true. women are held to a higher standard. otherwise we could play a game called name your favorite woman president, which we can't do because it has all been men. and all vice presidents being men. and i think any workingwoman out there, any woman that's at home knows exactly what i mean. we have to work harder, and that's a fact. but i want to dispel one thing because for so long why has this been happening? i don't think you have to be the tallest person on this stage to be president. i don't think you have to be the skinniest person. i don't think you have the loudest voice on this stage. i don't think that means you will be the one tha

>> that they're right, that they get it >> reporter: we talked with senator amy klobuchar at home. to her, unions are a family matter. >> i literally am here as the granddaughter of a union member, an iron ore miner, the daughter of a teacher, a union member the daughter of newspaper man and a union member >> reporter: how americans view unions has changed dramatically in the last ten years nearly two-thirds of view unions favorably. >> we have things that have gone awry it is no surprise at all that you're going to see an increase in union organizing and an increase in interest in popularity of unions. >> reporter: but union membership is at a decades low, 10% of the u.s. workforce to effect change, the senator wants to reverse trump administration rulespay, and appoint more labor friendly judges. >> when there were changes in our country like during the gilded age and people weren't bein treated well, that's when unions came up, that's when unions organized. that's what this is really about >> reporter: perhaps, as another minnesotan once wrote, for unions, at least, the times th
