so she put out a shingle, elizabeth warren attorney at law. she's like i'm doing real estate closes. like how the heck do you know how to do a real estate closing. this is before the internet, right? she's like well, i just looked it up in books, and no problem. >> when the family moves to texas, she joins the university of houston, teaching contract law and courses on business and finance. the demands of a full-time job and family are overwhelming. >> basically i was failing at everything. i was -- i felt like a terrible mother. dinner was always late. every child care arrangement fell apart. >> and i think she was getting quite discouraged and didn't know how she was going to do this. >> warren's career is in jeopardy. until her beloved aunt b. comes to the rescue. >> she said, so how's it going honey? and i just started to cry. and i said, "i'm going to have to quit." and she said, well, i can't get there tomorrow. but i can get there thursday. and she arrived with seven suitcases and buddy the pekinese. and they stayed for 16 years. >> hav

we'll be right back with senator elizabeth warren. rren i'm ken jacobus and i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. and last year, i earned $36,000 in cash back. which i used to offer health insurance to my employees. what's in your wallet? our because of smoking.ital. but we still had to have a cigarette. had to. but then, we were like. what are we doing? the nicodermcq patch helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. nicodermcq. you know why, we know how. ed gets copays as lowlily go to as zero dollars on medicare part d prescriptions. ed gets labels clear as day. and, lily.... lily gets anything she wants. ed knows he could just have us deliver his prescriptions. but what's the fun in that? switch to cvs pharmacy. >>> back now live with senator elizabeth warren, who has announced an exploratory committee to run for president. in june 2016, when it was reported that you were being considered as a potential rubbing mate for hillary clinton, i asked you in an interview what

elizabeth warren sort of formalized it. one reason maybe she got in -- only she knows why she decided to announce when she did -- there may be something of a scramble for staff at this point and maybe by getting in a little bit earlier you may have a better pick of staff because a lot of democratic consultants and other folks are involved in and -- these campaigns, there are only so many good people to get. that is part of the conversation and maybe we'll see more democrats getting in the next couple of weeks here. host: our guest will be with us. if you want to ask him questions about potential candidate whan -- and what they face, (202) 748-8000 for democrats. republicans, (202) 748-8001. independents, (202) 748-8002. let's hear a little bit from senator elizabeth warren in her announcement. senator warren: we can make our democracy work for all of us. we can make our economy work for all of us. we can rebuild america's middle class, but this time, we got to build it for everyone. no matter where you live in america, and

howie: elizabeth warren edging into the presidential race. why didn't the press uncover sexual harassment in the bernie campaign until now? one-millionth order. millionth order. ♪ there goes our first big order. ♪ 44, 45, 46... how many of these did they order? ooh, that's hot. ♪ you know, we could sell these. nah. ♪ we don't bake. ♪ opportunity. what we deliver by delivering. howie: elizabeth warren grabbed all kind of coverage by becoming the first democrat to declare her intentions to run in the 020 race. >> i am so glad you are here. howie: she followed up with an extremely sympathetic interview with msnbc's rachel maddow. >> donald trump is not just the next republican president. he's a special kind of departure from even what had been republican politics in the past. >> i see him as what happens when corruption invades a system. howie: joining us, mara liasson. let's start with his political piece. how does elizabeth warren avoid a clinton redux written off as to unlikeable before her campaign gets off the ground. is this ques

we'll be right back with senator elizabeth warren. elizabeth warrn because my body can still make its own insulin. i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release its own insulin, like it's supposed to. trulicity is not insulin. it works 24/7. it comes in an easy-to-use pen. and i may even lose a little weight. trulicity is an injection to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. don't use it as the first medicine to treat diabetes, or if you have type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, you're allergic to trulicity, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your low blood sugar risk. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting

as to elizabeth warren is in 2020. we did see, it was interesting over the course of the weekend senator warren, one of the biggest names on the democratic party, obviously what we consider one of the early front-runners perhaps for the nomination but she did use these events to talk about her personal upbringing, talk about her roots in norman, oklahoma, talk about getting married early, going to become a public schoolteacher, ultimately college professor and now u.s. senator. she is starting to fill in those gaps about her biography, not to be likable but tell a bigger picture about her career in public office >> john harwood, what's your view on elizabeth warren's kind of early rollout of her campaign, the criticism that she got from the dna test and the likability argument? >> well, i agree with everything that shawna said. likability is a universal question that we ask about every politician. there's an element of sexism in evaluation of candidates, less so now than there was ten years ago or 20 years ago. i do th

now elizabeth warren is putting it in paper. look, it might be very appealing for progressives and in a democratic primary, i don't know. i can tell you for disengaged republicans and disenchanted republicans, republicans in exile like me desperately looking for someone to support instead of donald trump and let me just say i will vote for a hologram before i vote for donald trump, this does not cut it. this does not make her any more appealing to me. >> go ahead, van. >> what's interesting because, it's a very popular idea. one of the things is happening is, this weird phrase called income inequality, wealth inequality, these are very academic terms and dry terms that have now become very mainstream and popular. it just means the rich are getting richer, the poorer are getting poorer and the middle class is getting devastated and donald trump blew a multi-trillion dollars hole in the budget with his last tax giveaway. if you're looking at how you going to govern the country now. do you go back and make poor people and working c

>> i think some of the other candidates aren't as well known as elizabeth warren. and she's been more of a national figure since she's been -- since she was elected. so perhaps that's why. but, you know, listen, maybe because of that she has a lot more campaigning to do. some of these recall statearly hasn't spent as much time at. the warren people are looking at that. >> that's a good point. when you think of the people that did better, you have amy klobuchar, sherrod brown. they're not as well known as elizabeth warren. >> and this a comparison of people in their home state, which is not what they'll do in a potential presidential run. i'm from massachusetts. i know it's actually one of the weird states because it's so independently liberal in certain districts. it's harder to run statewide, there is 35% of the state that's not as liberal as people think that they are, which is not the backdrop of ohio. the bar is higher for warren to clear to outperform absolutely everybody else in the state. however, it does go to the question of is there something that she can

elizabeth warren from massachusetts. we thought we would head over to the big board and give you an early look at what numbers do we have about elizabeth warren as a potential presidential candidate? one thing to keep in mind. a bunch of polls have been taken since the 2016 election. there are three names on the democratic side that have consistently sort of popped. a lot of it has to do with the name recognition. how well known they are. number one, joe biden, the former vice president, number two, bernie sanders because he ran in 2016, and elizabeth warren. probably the three most well known democrats. look at the polling. so with that in mind, the most recent national poll of democratic primary voters, potential democratic primary voters, was taken just under a month ago. our friends at cnn did it. we can show you how warren did in that poll can. we get it? up on the screen. guess what, folks. they don't have that. do we have a graphic? let's see it. we've got nothing. we've got nothing, folks. i can't believe it. i h

why would elizabeth warren's gender be a challenging factor? >> i think changing a bit but i think different when you run to the simply one member of the house or one member of the senate, compared when you run to the president of the united states or speaker of the house. what check research shows and this is an uncomfortable subject. >> it is, because i'm sitting here would it be the same for amy clobachar? >> yes. i think women who have traditional views about gender tend to express in studies is a discomfort with women in positions of power over men. and that is what the presidency represents and what the speaker of the house represents. and that is why i think that when you ascend for those higher jobs, you tend to find a greater gender of blowback. >> let's talk about this too. back in october, i want to play what president trump had to say about what he hopes happens in the democratic nomination process coming up. listen to this. >> i hope she is running for president because i think she would be very easy. i hope that she is running. i

just talking about elizabeth warren, who certainly made the first big move in this thing. the fact that she did, it the the way she's rolled this out right now, is that likely to speed up the decision of other potential candidates? are we going to suddenly see a lot of activity now because she made this move? >> i don't know that it will. i think there are a lot of democrats who are planning to get in sometime this month or within the first six weeks of the year. i think you should look to the senate for a lot of movement initially. people like cory booker, kirsten jill bran gillibrand. kamala harris is expected to have a book out next week. we expect her to have some kind of decision, announcement after a very short book tour. warren i think by getting in she is seizing upon this progressive message that has animated so many democrats, and it also may be a way for her to send a message to bernie sanders, who is a big question mark in this race, whether he decides to get in. it's possible that she could be stealing some of that important terrain. >> yeah, eugene robinson.

warren to hillary clinton, to use the word likability with elizabeth warren in this way? >> well, i remember about six months ago i was on cnn and we were talking about elizabeth warren and i described her as hillary clinton without the charm, and i was accused of being a sexist for making that comment, but no, i don't think it's sexist. but i do think that, look, i'm donating money to her campaign. i think as a republican, i think she'd be the very best candidate for democrats -- for republicans to run against because i do -- i just think likability is a big factor, and especially in presidential campaigns and she's not likable. but i'll say this, erin. you know, we just had the best day for the economy probably in five years with the rocketing stock market and this blockbuster jobs report, and if the economy continues to perform like this for the next two years, the democrats could put up wonder woman or mother teresa and they wouldn't beat donald trump. >> as i said it was a great day but you're down 660 yesterday. it's hard to take one day and extrapolate -- >> i'm ta

liberty. ♪ ♪ >> elizabeth warren will be the first. she did very badly in proving that she is of indian heritage. that didn't work out too well. we will see how she does. i wish her well. i hope she does well prayed i would love to run against her. >> she says she is in the fight all the way, mr. president. do you really think she believes she can win? >> well, that i don't know. he would have to ask her psychiatrist. >> harris: oh, gosh. wow. the president taking a dig at senator elizabeth warren as a massachusetts democrat is set to tour four iowa cities this weekend. her first trip to the early caucus state since launching her 2020 exploratory committee on monday. meanwhile, a lot of reactions to a politico piece asking if she can avoid a repeat of hillary clinton, especially on the issue likability. some people are going after the piece acceptance as sexist, ase dominic why male candidates are and treated the same. "how dare you politico, i'm not endorsing you but you are making me want to get in elizabeth warren's corner fast." an

he talks about the caravan and elizabeth warren. calls her pocahontas. focusing on the dna test and how we are going to move the conversation back to things that matter to our voters. i don't think we can happen if we rely primarily on. the incentives to cover trump. trump drives clicks, so much of the media is a click-based economic model. we'll have to have alternative strategies. >> are you talking about podcasts like yours? >> of course. it is not just alternative progressive media. also candidates and campaigns that can develop alternative eco systems. >> barack obama started with that in 2008. you are seeing alexandria ocasio-cortez not relying on the media. beto o'rourke in texas doing simg all-st similar things. find ways to communicate with voters who sit outside of the media bubble where too much of political coverage is focused. >> i think aoc, her first big interview of the year is tonight. she used that to talk about taxes and the green new deal. she tried in her own way to bring up policy issues. then, the question is whether or not the pre

take a look at elizabeth warren. you're right, she's right there at the bottom at 36% of massachusetts voters said she would make a good president. and then at the same time though, just take a look at what happened in iowa. 65% of the likely caucus-goers in iowa see her as very or mostly favorable. so she's got a huge favorability rating in iowa, david. so what do you make of that? >> yeah, eric, i think she's got a really strong shot in iowa. i think the issues that she's running on and that, frankly, her life in a way represents, bringing life to the promise of the american dream, the fact that, you know, as peter indicated in his intro to this segment her tad was a janitor. he -- her dad was a janitor. they were able to take advantage of the social safety net. it helped keep them afloat. america invested in elizabeth warren and her family, and now a janitor raised a daughter who was a law professor and now united states senator. she's running on kitchen table issues. her entire point in this campaign is about mak

okay, sticking with elizabeth warren's presidential bid, here's tonight's other headline. i'm with her? warren may be among the earliest to enter the fray but could be among the earliest to fail. don't take my word for it. just ask democrats. according to a cnn poll of democratic voters conducted in early december, senator warren places seventh in a crowded field of potential democratic candidates, a backslide from a month earlier when she was polling in fourth place. but if you don't believe them, well, just ask voters in her own state. back in september, 58% of likely massachusetts voters said they believed warren shouldn't even run for president with only 32% supporting a potential warren run, that according to a suffolk university political research center boston globe poll and if that's not convincing enough, her hometown paper, the boston globe, urged warren not to run just a month ago. the globe's editorial board argued that warren's moment had passed and that she should step aside for a less divisive figure. the globe wrote while warren is an effective and impactfu

you have elizabeth warren, very, very famously progressive and populist. that would be an exciting ticket in terms of wanting to see them campaign. both fantastic speakers with a lot of charisma. whether there's a lot of -- whether there's much sort of difference between them, they're kind of the same in many ways. two senators who kind of represent the same set of point of views. that could be good for a lot of people. >> i want to bring up this last one. even though i was told to wrap. beta o'rourke and bernie sanders. beta o'rourke, either one of you, top of the ticket and bernie sanders as vp. not necessarily sure bernie sanders would be okay with that. >> i don't think democrats would be in a good place if they ran beto and bernie as a ticket. not realistic and not going to happen. hard pass. >> hard pass. >> certainly there's appeals to different factions of people on their own. >> right. >> but i don't -- i guess i just have no idea in terms of, you know, the structural logistics of a primary. the states you would win, how you would win with those t

and i think that's going to elizabeth warren. i think it's also a little bit touched on, is she can start raising money quickly and as much as to 19 is going to be defined by online and digital and new, the only thing going on for the next 90 days is raising money. they don't start debating each other until summer. there's no other barometer and come march 31st we'll see how much they raised. these couple of weeks make a big difference. >> how much of it is about shaping public opinion? >> i think warren had this rollout of her -- and there was a poll that had her way back, like shockingly low. 8% i think democrats said they would support her in 2020. i think this is partially a way of if she's going to run, she doesn't need to have two or three more polls with her with those terrible numbers. this is going to boost her i think without question. i'm more interested in the fact that as fill lean knows because he worked for hillary, bernie sanders raised $250 million in six months. without any high dollar donors or super pac. the i

. >> i have a prediction that when elizabeth warren completes her exploration of running for president she will find at the end of that exploration a presidential candidacy with elizabeth warren as the candidate. that's what i think she's going to find. >> the thing i did not spend a lot of time talking about because i didn't want to wade too much time but she has already put together such a formidable apparatus in terms of early stage campaign staffers and in terms of the organization she's got around her. yes, this is exploratory, but you can tell from the work she's already done and the people she's already hired and the work she's already put out there for this exploration, that this is going to be a big full time marquee level campaign. >> yes, she really has an a-team, and she attracted an a-team, and she knew how to assemble an a-team, and that takes a while. and i know there are people out there who like to pretend that presidential campaigns start some time around now. they start a long time before now. and if you have read the history of a single presidential campaign you kno

"i spent my career standing up to big banks and corporations and i didn't stop when i got to the united states senate. i don't have a binder of bankers to call for generous checks to launch. most of the committee won't like what i am doing. in where to believe she stands? >> i think she comes out right at the top. she has a lot of really important issues that she wants to talk about.

like elizabeth warren being more active and more vocal when it comes to foreign policy. something she always shied away from in the past, that's great. we need to that she out. >> and the question on syria earlier this week. >> we must make sure we have a campaign and not a coronation. they did that in 2016 coronated hillary clinton after the american democrats in 2008 let some 44-year-old black man whose name was hussein knock off the most expected to win. it's going to be painful because democrats are now in some would argue a civil war, some disagree with that, but what direction are we going in as the democratic party? are we going to be leftists, sort of hard core democrats where we believe in progressive ideas? or are the democrats going to sort of stay centrist and try and capture some of the disaffected republicans who don't want to be seen as xenophobic, anti-semitism semitic, racist or allied with trump. >> also, glen, i wonder how we view the presidential role in all this? a tweet from the president referring to 2020 where he writes, the shutdown is only becau

adam, you've seen elizabeth warren, i assume, campaign many times in massachusetts. what was different, if anything, about seeing her campaign in iowa? >> i think the level of enthusiasm that she generated going back to her first run against scott brown, people were very excited about her, but there's, i think an intensity that comes when you've got your eye on the presidency that ratchets everything up. i recall positive responses in that race against brown, for example, i do not recall people talking about having chills when they watched her speak or how warren had mysteriously obtained a mind meld with them. maybe some of that is because she happens to be the first big name candidate out of the gate in iowa, but i think some of it is part of linked to her growth as a campaigner and her rise in prominence nationally. >> you know, adam, i saw her early in her senate campaign, her senate career make an appearance in california before the california democratic party, and it was a rock star reception, and i saw a performance on that stage that i was really struck by, a

no offense, elizabeth warren! that some people like. intellectually, you can see some of these debates. john kerry, brilliant. hillary clinton, very intelligent. this is a problem that doesn't resonate with some of those rustbelt voters. >> melissa: then again, a washington op-ed -- go ahead and scroll. "the woman looking at white house campaigns continue to shoulder gendered criticism and it demands not placed on their male counterparts, to be strong but not too strong. to be assertive without being pushy, lest voters turned away. for democratic women running for president, they must demonstrate they are not hillary clinton. nothing like her. , before they are in the now to take president trump. "go ahead. you can be brave. >> lisa: i dislike when leftist women play the victim card. they do this with equal pay. you are saying that the government needs to come down and dictate the terms of your employment. you can't do it on your own. may be, stop pulling the victim. go put more hours in pretour, take jobs that are more lucrative. it te

elizabeth warren would be a superb president. she knows how the government works. it depends. the race in 2020 is going to be against donald trump. charlie makes a good point. trump dominates the agenda. not necessarily to his advantage. on the question of border security, trump made it the issue, which the democrats won heavily. if you are wondering what is the public's reaction, trump is on the losing side, heavily. a very democratic win in the house. beyond that, i don't know exactly in a year from now, what is going to be the best way for the democrats to run. i'm holding off to support a candidate who i think has the best chance to defeat him. between now and then, i'm going to urge democrats, let's remember that trump is the guy who is our opponent. he differs on every point to us. >> the race unofficially began yesterday. a lot will be following in this new year. thank for a fantastic conversation and starting off the show on a strong note. thanks to all of you. >> sure. >>> coming up, much more on the 2020 race and elizabeth warren's potential run for the white house.

i thought that that was a smart move on elizabeth warren's part. and we'll see how that progresses as the campaign goes on. >> okay. let's listen to her in her own words in iowa this weekend as she tries to capture and sum up her message for voters. listen to this. >> pretty much all of my adult career has been spent around one central question. and that is what's happening to working families in america? why has america's middle class been hollowed out? what's happening to opportunity in this country? why is the path so rocky for so many people? and so much rockier for people of color? why has this happened in america? >> this that is really interesting, mj, because to your point it's consistency. that's what she has been saying for years, decades, and it's -- but it's different than all the talk that we're having right now about immigration, the talk about impeachment. that's not her message. >> right. and i think we'll see whether she decides at some point down the line that she wants to make the pivot to being more on the attack, taking on the

that's what elizabeth warren is really going to be running on. i think that's what other candidates will be running on. i think that's what we will be talking about, 45,000 people who kill themselves every year in suicide, 72,000 in opioid conditions. and there will be more important chatter. >> "the new york times" comes out with a pretty rough lookback at the bernie sanders campaign. let me put this up. sexism claims from the bernie sanders' sexism run. he was asked about this article. let me tell you his response to it. >> sirnly apologize any woman who wasn't treated purposely at a cost. if i rin, we will do better next time. >> just to be clear, you seem to indicate you did not know at the time about the allegations, is that correct? >> yes, i was a little bit busy running around the country trying to make the case. >> boy, that didn't seem like a good answer, did it? >> he took some heat for that. of course, bernie sanders and elizabeth warren will likely be competing over that same set of voters on the progressive side of the democratic pa

well some analysts would put elizabeth warren on the political spectrum just to the left of hillary clinton warren has served in congress now for six years and in that relatively short time span she has made a national reputation for herself as an ardent critic and reformer of wall street you saw that point highlighted in her announcement video as well as other liberal firebrands like defending minority rights and gay marriage however the message that she really has to sell to the red meat base of democrats is that she can confront trump in the general elections and she's trying to make the case that she is going to use her success in reforming the corruption on wall street to tackling that same issue in d.c. eleven that's war and heidi what about the rest of the democrats you know how are they looking as people start to announce the candidacy and can they mount a real challenge to president trump they are a party essentially without a leader. that's right and this is so very early in the election season still work spending a flurry of more democrats and now i'm saying in the spring warren

democratic senator elizabeth warren gives the clearest signal t that she wants to run for the u.s. presidency in 2020. sen. warren: opportunity for too many of our young people is shrinking. so i am in this fight all the way. >> celebrations around the world taking place to welcome new year 2019. karin: hello, welcome to "bbc world news." let's take you to where the new year 2019 is dawning right now. this is the scene in athens. fireworks lighng up the sky over the ancient site of the acropolis. let's listen to a little of the atmosphere. karin: there we are, two minuten past midnighhe greek capital, athens. the fireworks having to struggle against challenging weather conditionsnd heavy rain right now. they still look beautiful over the ancient skyline. let's turn to the day's news. the world food program says food aid in yemen is being stolen and illegally sold in areas under the control of houthi rebels. a survey by the u.n. that some people in the capital, sanaa, have not received the rations to which they were entitled. more than 15 million yemenis a facing severe shortages of

i agree with you, elizabeth warren is -- she's a dynamic speaker. the things she talks about, and she's authentic. >> yes. >> the thing she talks about, she's been talking about it for years. right, the middle class, the working class. she's been fighting against the big banks. and i think she is undervalued. a lot of it is because she is the first one out. we talked about castro actually announcing his exploratory committee. she is one of the big i guess five that have come out. that's another reason why she's getting all the shade. >> yeah. >> can we talk mean culture for a moment? the other thing that you're seeing, and this goes back to alexandria ocasio-cortez who now apparently is the -- she's the instagram congresswoman, right. now anyone else who goes on instagram, elizabeth warren, accused of being inauthentic because they went on instagram. we're all on instagram, by the way. people go on instagram. it's a thing. she exemplifies in my opinion the next generation that millennial women have figured out about the way to make politics accessib

i don't think elizabeth warren. she was a law professor at harvard university. i don't think she wants to up-end the constitution, but she has radical ideas i disagree with. trish: do you think they believe it or are they trying to exploit the politics of the moment. i have a sense the middle class is really getting squeeze. they are frustrated, and many in desperation some people are turning to the idea of socialism. but socialism ultimately won't help them. the middle class, the people doing things right, are going to get squeeze. why are politicians playing this card? >> the energy is on the left. activists on the left have the loudest voice in the democratic party, and the media plays up to it. the mainstream media is sympathetic to left-wing sometimes radical ideas. i think that explains it. those who vote in presidential primaries tend to be more liberal left-wing. all of that explains why the party is moving as i agree with you, dangerously in a left-wing direction. trish: if they put forward a socialist nominee, will they beat trump in 2020? >> we won't

elizabeth warren throwing her hat in the ring for 2020. here's how the president sees that. >> she says she's in the fight all the way, mr. president. do you really think she believes she can win? >> well, that i don't know. you would have to ask her psychiatrist. >> is the hope for a more civil 2020 election out the door, saying you would have to ask her psychiatrist? >> i don't think this is going to be a civil presidential election. we have 31 candidates right now. you know, i for two years warned people president trump could win and we had a problem. i'm not committing to anybody until i see them. i'm inviting all 31 candidates right now to come into my district, come to michigan. my little district is reflective of the country. i want to see how everybody is going to do, how they relate to people, and i think it's good for democrats to have a spirited, contested race so we have a strong candidate when it comes to had general election. >> let's hope we can see a civil election. we can always hope. before you go, general motors obviousl
