the next candidate is senator bernie sanders. [applause] sen. sanders: thank you, iowa. let me begin by thanking the people of iowa for playing an extraordinary role in transforming politics in america. four years ago, i stood right up here and i said that if you work 40 hours a week in america, you should not live in poverty. we have to raise that minimum wage to $15 an hour. [cheering] sen. sanders: workers should find it easier to become members of a union. four years ago, that seemed like a wild and crazy idea. since then, seven states and the u.s. congress have passed legislation raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. thank you, iowa, for helping to lead the way. [cheering] sen. sanders: four years ago, i came here and i said, you know what? if we want to be the best educated country on earth, we need to make public colleges and universities tuition free. and that idea was considered wild and extreme. since then, state after state, city after city have done just that. we are going to make public colleges and universities in america tuition free. four years ago, i

[cheers and applause] senator sanders: and here is -- here is the simple truth. at a time of massive income and wealth inequality, when three people now own more wealth than the bottom half of america, when the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 92% -- when large corporations are earning record-breaking profits, and ceo's make 300 times more than their workers -- [crowd booing] senator sanders: it is not the billionaire class that needs help today, it is the working class. [cheers and applause] senator sanders: senator mcconnell, take a look around you, take a look at kentucky, take a look at america and tell your wealthy campaign contributors that enough is enough. they can't have it all. [cheers and applause] senator sanders: today, in kentucky, in vermont, and throughout our country, half of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. and i come from a family and grew up in a household that lived paycheck to paycheck, and i know a little bit about that, and that means that if you get sick, or a family member ends up in the hospital, you're worried about h

[cheering and applause] senator sanders: and let me say this. today, we stand with the coal miners in holland county who are not receiving a paycheck. [cheering and applause] senator sanders: and we ask mitch mcconnell to demand that these workers get paid as soon as possible. [cheering and applause] but let me be also as clear as i can be in saying, here in kentucky, what i said the other day in paradise, california, which some of you remember suffered that horrendous fire which killed 86 people, and what i have said in vermont and what i have said all over this country, and that is climate change is real, climate change is caused by human activity, and climate change is causing devastating harm in our country and throughout the world. with those scientists who tell us we have a short time to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. here is my promise. as we transition away from fossil fuel, we will not abandon communities that have relied on fossil fuel. we will rebuild those communities. w

sanders: thank you! >> be careful! sen. sanders: watch out, guys. slow down. >> watch out behind you. guys, back up. much foryou very coming to iowa. >> we need a 6 foot buffer zone, please. >> nice to see you, bernie. >> bernie, can i get a photo with you please? >> please give us a buffer zone. >> goodbye, bernie. >> please, give us a buffer zone. everyone take two steps back, please. thank you very much. please. we need a buffer zone, please. >> how many sticks of butter? wax bernie! bernie! >> are you going to eat anything, bernie? >> will you drink [inaudible] >> watch it, watch it, watch it. >> how are you doing? >> how are you? thank you. >> on the campaign trail, an afternoon with senator bernie sanders, his wife, jane, at the iowa city fair. coming up, new york city mayor bill de blasio, who will be the final speaker on the state their soapbox. all of ourch coverage at c-span.org. >> who has been here all day long? ok, so what do i want from you? des moines register soapbox was the correct answer. i am the political editor, and how this goe

bernie sanders doesn't give up. i remember being in i believe it was ports smith, new hampshire when he was finally endorsing hillary and appear with her. >> the hillary people are still wonder when he's going to endorse. there's bitterness there. >> he acted as though he was competing on the stage rather than embracing her. >> ditto with the convention. >> bernie sanders is going to stay until the end because he's going to have money to stay till the end. >> i had one of the campaigns not named sanders or warren say we're not talking them till it looks like one of them catch fire by themselves because at this point, they cancel each other out. there's not enough, unless one drops out, there's not enough and they would rather focus on the other part. is that smart. >> yeah, the two of them at some point there's a theory maybe the two of them will self-destruct and both going against each other and cancel each other out. what i think is interesting is that elizabeth warren is bringing this whole coalition together th

is bernie sanders' plan, there are other medical plans. host: politico had a piece on where the candidates stood on health care. at the time they had 23 candidates, but it has been winnowed down somewhat. all of them are for the expansion of the aca, expanding the affordable care act coverage. ippolito, -- ben where do you see potential stumbling blocks? is it the cost? guest: their first point that mara brought up is exactly the right point. what might the stumbling blocks be? at least at a high level, it pulls quite well amongst the democratic electorate however, one of the things that becomes quite clear is that once you start talking about -- and there trade-offs, taxes per support really dwindled. what you see is that the majority of democrats certainly support medicare for all at a high level. however, that flips once you start talking about, what if you have to raise taxes? that is a long way of saying the plans that do less of those increases, less disruption to your own health insurance, are going to have higher traction, more tra

that may not be low enough. >> kate, sanders' campaign sent a statement saying as president, sanders would take immediate action to reduce gun violence, including repealing that law that protects gun manufacturers, the law bernie sanders helped pass. fred guttenberg says he's looking for a candidate that doesn't have to explain why he ever voted with the nra. kate? >> important piece. good look, drew. thank you so much. >>> coming up, late last year, president trump declared the isis caliphate defeated. now after a new pentagon report that isis is resurging, there are new fears that a massive refugee camp in syria could become a new isis stronghold. chair is just a chair. that a handle is just a handle. or... that you can't be both inside and outside. most people haven't driven a lincoln. it's the final days of the lincoln summer invitation event. right now get 0% apr on all lincoln vehicles plus no payments for up to 90 days. only at your lincoln dealer. we didn't have to stop the movie. and i didn't have to contact your family. because your afib didn't cause a blood clot that led t

sande sanders, it was a one-on-one race last time, almost beat her. but you have an incumbent and a different race. >>> john hickenlooper, no longer a presidential candidate. he's running for the senate. applebee's handcrafted burgers now starting at $7.99. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood her saturdays are a never- ending montage of comfort.

elizabeth warren, bernie sanders bernie sanders on night one and joe biden and kamala harris on night 2. take a look. >> i think if we force americans to make radical changes, show your hands up. i think democrats when we run on real solutions and not impossible promises, we run on thinks that are workable and fair tale economics. >> i don't know why somebody runs as president of the united states to talk about what we can't do. >> plan is too late, we have to get off coal in 10 years, your plan does not do that. >> senator harris is proud of her record as prosecutor and she'll be a prosecutor but i'm concerned about the record, too many examples to fight, but she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. paul: managing director and chairman of the harris poll, he was chief strategist on bill clinton's 1996 presidential campaign and hillary clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, mark, welcome, let me ask you first about joe biden who is the main target and front runner, did he hold up in. >> he did, i thi

so the goes, screw it, just going to volunteer for the bernie sanders campaign. another one is barty who was a engineer at stripe. the fifth employee, the second engineer at stripe. stripe is one of the biggest companies most people haven't heard of. it built basically software that takes a little piece out of your credit card every time you swipe it in the world. so it's a pretty good business to be. in but he is completely sick of silicon valley so he reaches out to the sanders campaign and finds his way in. another is corbin trent who had been a chef at one over the most expensive restaurants in new england, and he told me that the final moment for him when he left that industry or that business, he would serve a $10,000 bottle of wine to a bunch of people for lunch and when he came to the table, half the bottle was still there, uncorked, undrank, and half the glasses war half drank and he said to himself, never doing another thing the rest of my life to make these people's lives any better. so he poured the wine glasses into the bottle, corked it, walk out an

listen to sanders in new hampshire yesterday. >> anybody here know how much amazon paid in taxes last year? i talk about that all of the time and then i wonder why "the washington post," which is own by jeff bazos who owns amazon, doesn't write particularly good articles about me. i don't know why. >> he failed to provide any evidence of that, those past comments along those lines were echoed by his campaign and prompted this reply by the executive editor for "the washington post." quote, senator sanders is a member of a large club of politicians of every ideology who complain about their coverage contrary to the conspiracy theory as our reporters and editors can attest. keirsten powers is here. good morning, guys. i was a little surprised, keirsten, to hear sanders say it himself but it's not new to see his campaign really taking on the media without provide anything evidence of bias. just listen to his campaign manager, he was on reliable sources with brian stelter just a few weeks ago. >> in about a minute or so or two minutes or so you're going to cut to commercial breaks and you'

senator sanders. sen. sanders: the fact of the matter is tens of millions of people lose their health insurance every single year, when they change jobs or their employer changes that insurance. if you want stability in the health care system, if you want a system that gives you freedom of choice in regards to a hospital, which is a system that will not bankrupt you, the answer is to get rid of the profiteering of drug companies and insurance companies and moved to medicare for all. gov. hickenlooper: he is talking -- >> he is talking about a different issue. why do we have to be the party of taking something away from people? they are running on telling half the country that your health insurance is illegal. it says it right in the bill. we don't have to do that. we can give everyone health care and allow people to have a choice. that is the american way. >> thank you congressman. senator warren? sen. warren: we are the democrats. we are not about trying to take away health care from anyone. that is what

sanders offers a menu of options of how to pay for it. the next person who talked about bill clinton, it's a range. it's a lot more than the average income. the average worker earned $60000. >> thanks for that. you served in the department of health of human services. >> yes. i was a lawyer during the obama administration but also previously, i was a career lawyer. i worked with both the bush appointees and obama appointees. i would sayut i think the colors correct and that we've been talking a lot about the biden public option and i think that a detriment of a lot of the other proposals in the second bucket n talked about, there is, there are ways to get universal coverage that are not a single payer option. the public option doesn't get you there. if you have automatic enrollment in the plan is to default medicare think the default andit people opt out of it from an organization i worked for the caller mentioned, we have our own plan that again keeps our role for privater insurance but we have a default automatic enrollment so it is far

obviously, sanders, warren, and biden. now, what is the real big anomalous factor in this particular poll? biden. the other two numbers sides up with what we just saw in the cnn poll. not biden's. let's get some insight from the professor. ron brownstein. so, help me understand. is this about methodology or is this about a change in the actual mechanics of the election? >> i think it's probably some of both. monmouth is a good pollster, one poll, a relatively small sample, 300. and as you note, not only the cnn poll, but a fox poll and a pew poll roughly the same period of mid-august, had a similar result with biden somewhere around 30. warren usually in second and bernie sanders just behind her. i would say that the magnitude of this may be somewhat questionable. that they're all even at this point. but the direction is probably right, right? >> wait, but hold on a second. let's take it one step sideways. this is the one part i don't get. i hear you. it's a smaller sample, it's all about who they ask and maybe they've got

he's now calling for it's repeal. >> is bernie sanders tough on guns? >> no, not at all. >> come at the time sanders denied in interview with cnn. >> i do not accept the fact i've been weak on this issue. in fact, i've been strong on this issue. i can get beyond the noise and all these arguments and people shouting at each other and come up with real constructive gun control legislation which most significantly gets guns out of the hands of people who should not have them. >> reporter: guttenberg says he appreciates bernie sanders has now evolved on the guns issue but says sanders legacy has become a personal issue in his own fight for gun legislation. >> you could say i change my mind, you could say i've evolved but your votes and what you've done are still there. i'm thankful that he has evolved, but he has to answer for it. >> reporter: sanders did vote for instant background checks, voted to ban certain a.m. automatic weapons and voted to eliminate the loophole of no background checks in private gun sales. and on the campaign trail recently he's bee

more often, it's apologist for sanders. it's sanders and cortez and they can't explain themselves but let me help. they really don't mean socialism at all, they mean socialist democracy but aside from the fact that these people aren't so inarticulate about what is wrong with that line of argument is that there is a scandinavian model in a much bigger public sector we have in the u.s. but the public sector rests on thriving capitalists engines of growth. if you look at the world bank, they put out each year end ease of doing business index, writes all the countries in the world. denmark is almost at the top, and third or fourth place. they make a congenial atmosphere for capitalists to do their thing but then they have high tax rates under reach of social welfare benefits but everything that sanders have to say is fiercely angrily anti- capitalists. alc capitalism is very redeemable. sanders whole thing is that the feeling or class, oligarchy in our country are eliminating democracy on and on. journalist who covered him way

sanders and warren in a battle tied there for second place. sanders at 15. warren at 14. buttigieg and harris at 5. everyone else, 3% or below. look at the movement. we last polled in the immediate after math of the first debate, the miami debate, and take a look. you can see, if you see where they were in our june poll, compared to now, joe biden has returned. remember, he took a hit on that debate stage. he's now back up 7 points, 29% is about where he was prior to that miami debate. the only other big movement we see here is that kamala harris dropped, okay, she was at 17% in june. she's now down to 5. back down in single digits where she was before that miami debate. what we saw is that was a huge moment in this race, but it wasn't long lasting. we also asked whether people are looking for a candidate to beat donald trump or one that shares -- oh, sorry. i want to give you a little sense of the coalition first that biden has. take a look at the ideological split between liberals and moderate conservative democrats. i found this fascinating, biden, sanders, warren, the

what sanders did not review is how they plan to pay for it. this added on with the plans for medicare for all, free across the board for all americans. they want all free tuition and to cancel student loan debt. they do promise in the coming weeks there will be a more fulsome plan related to this particular issue of medical debt. this is something that has become a big priority for bernie sanders and his campaign. >> ryan nobles, thanks so much. >>> and there are details that need to be vetted out here. cnn's political analyst michael bender is with us here. also a white house reporter for t"the wall street journal." michael, thank you for being with us. questions for hundreds of billions of dollars at the end of the day, does not sound like a whole lot for medical debt. then the questions of who, what is the criteria to determine whose medical debt get erased? >> is it effective to release a plan without those details? >> i don't think it's very effective to release the plan without the details. and as ryan said, i don't know if it's a good i

senator sanders has certainly animated this conversation. as you know, pamela, he started this debate. the democrats wouldn't even be talking about health care had it not been for the courage of senator bernie sanders in 2016. medicare for all is clear. everybody in, nobody out. what they were discussing on wednesday night was confusion. is medicare for all maybe. and that is -- >> well, it allows for private insurance, i believe. >> but they can't serve two masters here. either you're going to have a medicare for all system that increases the services that our seniors have right now and over a four-year period as senator sanders has laid out bring everybody in. this is not just about -- this is not about access to health care, it is about having health care. we can't continue along the same track. or you want to do it the way that senator harris wants to do or vice president, which is to have this love/hate relationship with the insurance company. we should not be -- >> so do you think it's unrealistic what kamala harris is proposing? >> yo

when the bernie sanders throng shot a republican congressman we didn't blame bernie sanders for inciting that violence. >> [overlapping talking]. >> i didn't do and i didn't do it. >> let's have a quick break. >> it will get worse, everybody. >> [laughing]. >> we have egregious attacks in the media. stay with us. every day, visionaries are creating the future. so, every day, we put our latest technology and unrivaled network to work. the united states postal service makes more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. e-commerce deliveries to homes here, hello! starts with -hi!mple... how can i help? a data plan for everyone. everyone? everyone. let's send to everyone!

sanders: the american people understand that climate change is real. and that it's causing devastating problems in our country and all over the world. and that is why we have to have the courage to take on the greed and the recklessness of the fossil fuel industry. [applause] sen. sanders: the american people understand that in the year 2019, we must make public colleges and universities tuition free and cancel all student debt in this country. [applause] sen. sanders: but in order to do that, we are going to have to end an absurd tax system that allows wall street and major corporations to get huge tax breaks. [applause] sen. sanders: and the american people understand, increasingly more and more every day, that health care is a human right, not a privilege. [applause] sen. sanders: and every poll that i have seen tells me that the american people agree with many people in this room, that we must pass medicare for all. [applause] sen. sanders: but to do that, we are going to have to take on the pharmaceutical industry, which chargers us the highest pr

>> bernie sanders is such a farce. he comes on and says make a strong statement for democracy and human rights and this is not. we heard nothing about the concentration camps. would bernie sanders recognize taiwan as a country? this is so much he failed to address that china represents. he shot down the threat question as well. why aren't we hearing his position on china's stated purpose of nuclear and trade power on the arctic circle council. in 2017 their president said china will be a global power and they want to improve their compat capability. he said we will never swallow this bitter fruit of down grading our interests for the purpose of someone else's benefit. for bernie sanders to say they are not a threat to us or won't put themselves first and ignore all of the other human rights violation is a joke to me. >> we pounded that segment into the ground. another russian bombshell opens up in the media's face. back tracking about the latest claims about president trump. >> ♪ chair is just a chair. that a handle

there is a report from "the washington post" on sanders' plan, and it says the high cost of sanders' plan is due in part to eschewing partnerships to hit his goal of 100% renewable energy in the power sector by 2030. instead, sanders wants to establish a new federal electric utility to provide power to northeast and midwestern states while expanding the four existing power administrations that cover most of the rest of the lower 48. i'm intrigued by this only because one of the things we are trying to figure out is something that's going to cost 10 million or 15 trillion or $20 trillion to redo our economy, our carbon-based economy, do we do this hand in hand with business? should government be taking that big a role in this whole thing? how do you look at this and how do you recommend that these candidates move forward on their suggestions? >> reporter: sure. well, i think one of the things to note is that in senator sanders' plan, he's willing to declare climate change a national emergency. so right off the bat, that gives the president of the united states specific executive power

vaughn hillyard there with bernie sanders. bernie sanders making his way to the soap box. that's the actual place where each candidate stands and gives their speech. and so vaughn hillyard, our nbc news road warrior, was able to stop him on the way, if you will, before he's about to get up there and get a little warmup of what bernie sanders might be saying. let's go to our panel right now to reflect on what was said -- by the way, vaughn, thank you for that. politico politics reporter daniel strauss. former florida congressman, msnbc political contributor, david jolly. daniel, we've all been through that in some way or the other. going down the road, stopping a candidate trying to get the most out of him as they do make their way to "a" to "b" and you heard the question that vaughn was asking, and that had to do with the polling numbers in iowa. and bernie sanders dropping seven percentage points since april. while you see elizabeth warren jump 12 percentage points. what's happening there in iowa that explains why sanders is going down, warren popping? >> i mean, it's rea

map, bernie sanders won those caucuses 73% to 21%. it's not a representative state compared to ideological spectrum. if she was going to get a big sort of turn out washington would be the place for it. >> to be clear, i don't think we're running down the poll as all, but you would expect given the margin of error it's completely possible that one poll would have that big of a difference from other polls. it's completely in line. >> i'm very happy he published a poll that might not look like the other polls because that makes the average more accurate. but we need to point out when it doesn't look like the other polls because everyone wants to make such a big deal of it. >> it could be a harbinger but cnn was in the field at the exact same time and cnn didn't look like the other polls. i have 15 seconds here. just i think this is sort of important in terms of measuring enthusiasm, strongly favorable ratings among democratic voters. and warren, sanders and biden are all pretty much the same there. >> is top steyer getting in the next de

bernie sanders is excellent at explaining what the problem is. he's excellent at laying out all of the different things that are wrong structurally in this country, and then he stops talking. i'm always listening for solutions and specifics. elizabeth warren does not stop talking. she says -- and here is how i'm going to fix. it is my plan. kamala harris also has a verbal tick, where she says i don't want to hear you talk about the problems, tell me what you're going to do about it. i think that's the difference in this campaign. joe biden just doesn't have that vision for this is how i'm going to fix the problem in the future with my plans. he's saying we're going back to the way it was before, where i guess the problems disappear? dissolve? become invisible? i don't know. >> in the other issue, and make becoming an issue, mike memoli alluded to this, joe biden was up in new hampshire, the southwest part of the state, but this is what he said. >> what's not to like about this place? this is a scenic, beautiful town. >> biden is known, you know.

sanders says that she's proud to join the team and provide political insight. she resigned as press secretary back in june. >>now to guns sue knows how many of them are out there. a new study in alameda county gs used in crimes were the not registered. it also showed that less than 10% were registered to the person who committed the crime. the da's office released the report which covers the past 6 years. nancy o'malley says the data helps understand the epidemic of gun violence in alameda county. in california and across the country. >>when it comes to travel time matters at and it can make or break your trip here is what you should know before you go flying. >>a new study released the best and worst wait times at airports country's fastest airport security line. salt lake city, washington dulles was cond with an average of 10 and a half minutes that's flying through the longest wait new jersey's newark liberty internet national george bush intercontinental in houston was a close second. flyers their weight in tsa lines, an average of more than 19 minutes. the

>> i supposed that bernie sanders could work doing that. the fact is if you've got a problem with the laws and you think we have too many laws, then let's reduce the number of law that is we have on the books. not say we are going to change how we treat you if you break a law, either it's illegal and has to be treated as such or it doesn't and his plan right now it's going to lead to more lawlessness and not more rule of law. >> max, in 15 seconds we have remaining, you're a democratic strategist, you have been studying what's going on around the country, there's appetite for criminal justice reform, but in your research, is there an appetite for this bernie plan? >> i think it's gotten mixed reviews, partly because you're proposing federal solutions to things that are governed by counties and by states and there's just no practical way to -- to compel counties and localities to endorse and pass these things, that's been the challenge of criminal justice reform for years and if we think we can just wave our hand and make different counties

comprehensive guide they joined me in studio welcome guys thanks for having me so let's talk about this bernie sanders bad to begin with he wants to reform journal if you guys read it i did a little bit longer than your book it is infinitely longer than my book but i did read it and as is often the case with bernie i actually think he frequently identifies the real problems identifies correct problems decreasing wages problems with immigration problems with in this case big tech coming in and clamping down on journalism i am all for taking down big tech i am all for breaking them up and reducing their power their interest they control the flow of information around the internet obviously conservatives talk about this a lot because there have been high profile incidents where conservatives have been targeted some of my own videos have been taken down on various platforms. and i think that this affects the left as well and i think it affects everyone in the middle nobody wants a few companies to control the flow of information where i disagree with bernie is on his solution which is to give the governme

and now sarah sanders is making her debut on the "fox & friends" couch pretty soon. >> sarah sanders, sean spicer, familiar names and faces to the american people. stephanie grisham, not so much. this is the newest white house press secretary. not only has she not held a press briefing, she also has a checkered past, accusations of plagiarism and fraud in her prior jobs. presumably she's well paid, we know sarah sanders was getting $183,000 a year. yet we don't really have a clue what stephanie gruisham is doin on a day-to-day basis. >> most people don't know who she is, she hasn't been in the limelight the way sanders and spicer were, sparring with the press in the briefing room every day. most people don't know who she is or what she's really doing. i think at this point we're not going to see probably a daily press briefing resume. that just doesn't seem to be something in the near future we're going to see. she's seemingly doing more logistics, answering questions and responding to reporters and trying to give them background information. but you're right, we're not seeing her in

that's what bernie sanders and elizabeth were in half. they have the magic. respectfully, john and carol, i disagree with you. the left is more left than you think and these ideas we call socialists could very much be mainstream when it comes to today's demographic. david: we know in fact that liz warren, to your point, there's not that much difference between her and bernie and has come out with plants that are almost as expensive as some of his plans are but look at how close they are and carol is right you can't believe in all polls and this might be an outlier and we will see from polls that follow but it's also true joe biden has been making a lot of mistakes in public. it's always been prone to gas but is made more gas in the past couple weeks that he did in the previous couple of years. >> explain. david: like what? many examples the one where he was stuck black for poor and another one where - he's made about five big gaffs. >> but the president does everything today. david: but these are big gaffs of big policy issues. >> he's calling - he's paid $20

so the actual race comes down to warren and sanders. sanders. competing visions of how to achieve the same socialist fantasy. warren's promising reparations based on skin color. that's popular. sanders wants a government takeover of the entire energy sector. okay. they will be working to out crazy each other for the next six months. that is a dynamic guaranteed to produce yet more extremism. and it has some democratic leaders worried. yesterday, for example, the dnc voted on a proposal to hold the debate focused exclusively on climate change. why would they do that? well, because the solutions the candidates would promise live on television are insane. spend $16 trillion, ban airplanes, seize control of the entire u.s. economy. uh-huh. the trustafarians love stuff like that. normal people find it terrifying. even the party hacks here in d.c. don't like it, and that's probably a compliment, honestly. you really think nancy pelosi believes climate change is an existential crisis? of course she doesn't think that. it's why she flies private. barack

warren and sanders and biden at the same place. 22, 22, 23. and joe biden crushing the second best two democrats in bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. i ask you, you think about the breadth of this appeal here. one thing if joe biden was the candidate of moderates and bernie sanders and deliberate warren of the left. you have joe biden dominating the moderate wing, that is a pretty strong formula for victory, i would say. >> the challenge for senator warren moving forward is erode vice president biden's numbers among liberals. as long as a quarter of liberals in the democratic party are saying they're comfortable with senator warren, you will see challenges for senator sanders and warren as they try to consolidate that left wing of the democratic party. senator warren is gaining traction with many liberals. you see her drawing big crowds in the early voting states. until joe biden is not seen not liberal enough by democrats he will hold in these polls. >> you think about, there's an ideological question. there's an age thing, older voters do

amy: sanders' plan calls for all u.s. homes and vehicles to be powered by renewables by 2030, with massive public investment in solar, wind, and geothermal electricity. it would ban fracking, mountaintop removal coal mining, and international trade in fossil fuels. it would also see the u.s. rejoin the 2015 paris climate accord and pay $200 billion to the green climate fund. and it would guarantee transition for employees. sanders says his green new deal would create 20 million union jobs over a decade. in san franciscoco, leaders of e democratic national committee, the dnc, voted to reject a resolution calling for a presidential candidate debate on the climate. it failed on a vote of 8-to-17. after the roll call, about two dozen young activists with the sunrise movement who were attending the committee meeting rose from their chairs, stood on their seats, and began a protest. >> we are afraifor our ves. we arefrfraid for an uninhabitablee planet. please, please, please, use the microphone you have. amy: the resolution co

you are biased but your overall winner is bernie sanders. >> i worked for bernie sanders but let me make a couple points, bernie sanders was the only person mentioned in both debates and after the debate bernie sanders raise $1.1 million from 70,000 contributions. of that doesn't tell you he won both times. rob: his ideas are the ideas everyone is stealing and using. >> on healthcare specifically last night. you saw bernie sanders mentioned by four candidates on a night -- he was the overall winner. jillian: your overall loser as we discussed was joe biden. anything you want to mention about joe biden q i want to get your take on how you think kamala harris did, she was touched by a lot of candidates. >> she did good. did she do the best? i think she landed some punches but in some fell flat but for the first time she got attacks, take the tulsi gabbard moment, got attacked and pushed back by the biden moment so i don't think she came out of this on top and standing alone like she did in life debate, polls show where we she will end up and she had a medium performance. rob: she got hit h

you had warren and sanders on the first night. here's sanders this morning talking about what differentiates him from elizabeth warren. >> you and elizabeth warren, as most pundits seem to indicate, will make that next debate. how will you differentiate yourself from her? you're too progressive. >> i'll tell you, i'll let you and the punditry and the american people make that decision. all i can say -- >> wait a minute. what is the single -- what is the biggest difference between you and senator sanders? you have to draw a distinction, senator. >> no. no. i have to tell the american people what i believe. >> dana: juan, at some point sanders and warren are going to have to figure out a way to go at each other because they need those votes from the same people. it's the same bucket. >> i'm curious about this, because so far what i see is warren rising, sanders declining, in terms of support. i think that, you know, somewhat touches on what we were discussing a moment ago when you had gillibrand going at biden. i think part of that

he has set of solutions and also i think it's savvy because you know whether you're a natural bernie sanders supporter or a hard core maga head you have issues with the media and you should have issues with the media because the media has a lot of issues so let's get into some of the details i was really surprised to hear you just say that you're actually in favor of breaking up these big companies i assume you're talking about facebook google i'm talking about you know big tech generally ok roles so much of the flow of information and i think they're playing. unfairly they want to have their cake and eat it too we've seen this senator cruz has brought this up a lot the distinction between being a tech platform and a publisher of content which curates the content won't let certain people publish certain things and there are certain legal protections if you're only going to be a tech platform and you're there are certain liabilities if you're to be a publisher like any of us big tech wants to have their cake and eat it too they should not be allowed to do that they are gaming the system and w

sanders says he wants to take on the fossil fuel industry. that's the line we hear all the time on the campaign trail and also debate. he wants to do it not only by ripping away subsidiaries, fossil fuel subsidiaries but wants to go after them criminally and civilly in court. >> jack brewster and ali vitali, our road warriors, thank you very much. let me bring in republican strategist and democratic strategist. thanks for being here, guys. chris, let me stop with you. let's pick up here, sanders rolling out a cornerstone of his campaign, ap reporting he's setting himself up for a showdown with kamala harris. eleven staffers on the payroll, campaign could spend $25 million or more chasing votes. smart or risky strategy for the senator? >> i think it's smart in one part. i don't think harris is his primary focus. >> in california? that's a state where she's got a pretty good hold. >> yeah, in california maybe. if you look in terms of the national dynamics and where this kind of race is developing, warren has been chipping at his lead. the idea

, solidly in second place at 20%, sanders at 10%. we also learned within the data that she is the top pick with people under 45 and those who call themselves very liberal. what do you make of that? >> he is eating sanders lunch. she is doing quite well in particular in iowa. we have seen that in a number of polls. the first say, the opening caucus is coming up many months from now but that doesn't necessarily shock anyone because she has a strong ground game and presence in the state of iowa, she has been working it very hard, it is a very white state, she does well with white democratic voters, not so well with african-americans. she has a lot of momentum. we have yet to see her head to head with joe biden in a debate. that will come multiple times and those will be critics of exchanges. shannon: the new york times writing this under the headline many democrats love elizabeth warren but also worry about her, they say democrats in iowa, new hampshire and south carolina were her uncompromising liberalism would alienate moderates in ba

>> joe biden isn't improving the numbers, sometimes improving the lead because bernie sanders used to be a closer second and has dropped out and basically those numbers are split by elizabeth warren, bernie sanders and to some degree kamala harris, i agree with doug sean, i wonder. it's amazing to me that joe biden is the moderate, for years probably you would see the liberal joe biden in the senate, that's how we described him, he's next to running against the guy that wants to jail oil executives and so forth that he looks moderate. paul: can we get a defense of joe biden, please? >> sure, anything can happen obviously but i will note that we have been hearing the same story for months that joe biden can't last, that when his stumbling performance in the first debate will take him down and yet there he is, chugging on, steady joe, third of the vote, do i think that the electability argument can be overplayed and i think -- but i think it resinates with people if they make it concrete and positive way so his wife jill biden was essentially saying this week, democrats you may like him

and fad is the campaign manager for bernie sanders' presidential campaign. thanks to all of youfor being here. and of course, mike, i have to start with you in this new reporting. break down the crux of what we're hearing from former obama administration officials today. you and i have been working the phones, and wickly they're saying this is just not smart strategy. >> the obama alumni, which is a very tight-knit crew, they were in the trenches for ten years. they always knew his record was going to be subject to scrutiny. especially on that debate stage wednesday night with former vice president on the stage. that was one of the reasons frankly why some of his advisers were worried about biden's candidacy. this is in some ways pride in their work that they don't want to see that record picked apart. but it's also bad politics. they think that this is taking their eyes off the ball, that that focus should be on defeating president trump, not attacking our own candidate. you saw the president, president trump, enjoying this side show. he knows that it could

new york meanwhile another democratic 2020 presidential hopeful bernie sanders has come under fire for a remark about china the u.s. under praise beijing's efforts to reduce poverty prompting condemnation from politicians and the media as r.t. is my god he explains it's the strangest thing there is bernie is one of the leading democrat candidates for the nomination and that of the blue goo is it does something that new god fearing american should ever do said something almost complimentary about china. is a country that is moving unfortunately in a boat with or where you number of directions but what we have to say about china in fairness to china and its people sure is if i'm not mistaken they have made more progress in addressing the extreme poverty. so in any country in the history of civilization bad bernie good thing there are patriotic journalists free media and honest politicians to remind me that it's not nice to say nice things about china it was seen as bernie basically praising the chinese communist party you know which is probably killed more than any other regime on earth

the paper saying sanders did not cite any evidence for his claims. post executive editor said in a statement that besos does not interfere with or influence the newspaper's coverage. former white house press secretary ari fleisher is a fox news contributor. we've heard complaints about "the washington post" before. what is gained by sanders by making these claims? >> well, he's fascinating. he's following president trump's talk about the washington post. bernie has always thought corporate ownership of things was bad and led to nefarious activities. i think this is more part of it but it's got the politicians piqued. >> dana: bernie sanders, who claimed the system was rigged against him. the dnc even changed their rules for him. he is not doing as well in 2020 as he did in 2016. he's frustrated i think that we have the statistics on the social media articles about the 2020 candidates last week. biden way up there at 3.8 million. then beto o'rourke. that might have something to do with el paso shooting. bernie at 1.7 million. he has a strong following
