bernie is gaining on him in south carolina. but he did stuff that reminded you of why you care about this guy. he's been on the american sen for a long time. he gets shouty. that doesn't work as well. >> shouty? >> shouty. >> that's a new word. >> he gets shouty. >> the first finger also starts to come out and you know when he's -- >> that part. listen, pete buttigieg is very interesting to me because he continues to make this case about congress. it's not just about me. i don't just care about myself. i care about the congress. i care about the senate, i care about the house where there are a bunch of super delegates by the way who are sitting in the wings and on the second vote, if nobody has a majority on the first vote, surprise, surprise. >> but, van, the reality is that that is a conversation that democrats are having, they're concerned about bernie sanders in the suburbs where democrats picked up three dozen seats or so in the last election and

whether he at the top of the ticket would jeopardize those house seats. that is one of the arguments you hear against his candidacy among people within the party. >> it's an argument that people are making across the board. i think it's also just convenient that pete, the only way pete is going to be the nominee is if there's a broker convention and people turn to him. >> the only way pete is going to be the nominee is if he can persuade african-americans to vote for him. i thought he had a great debate tonight. i really thought he was the best on that stage. but the question is, did he move the needle at all? he's got -- he's polling 4% among triafrican-americans in sh carolina. do you think he moved the needle at all? if not, to what avail was it? >> two points. pete is extremely smart. at points you feel like he gets bored of his own message. he wants to be a pundit and describe what's happening then

talk about what matters before teem. for somebody who admires congress so much you'd think he might run for congress which seems logical if you're mayor of a small city. >> and you're 38 years old. >> to step back for a second we talked about bloomberg a bit and we did say he wasn't the butt of all jokes and he tried to even make a couple of jokes. you wonder if this is the best he can do. you ask yourself why he's still in this race. it's clear, if you've been surrounded by people who laugh at your jokes because they're paid to do it. >> he has $60 billion. that's why he's still in the race. he is running these ads. i was in illinois a couple of days ago and he has this powerful ad talking about criminal justice reform and there was a criminal justice advocate who is talking about how great michael bloomberg is. that's why he's still in this race. he's also in this race because there are, i think, a certain segment of democratic voters who think you need a rich white man to take on a rich white man.

and you can see that in the polls. he's had about 15%. he's got some traction. in some of these super tuesday states as well and with african-american voters, mayor steve benjamin in south carolina has endorsed him, mayor nutter, a bunch of black mayors from across the country. i thought he had a terrible debate early on. got a little better when he talked about things he actually did in new york with obesity and other issues. but listen, i think if you are worried about a bloomberg candidacy you have warren to thank tonight because she keeps going after him in a way that i think is going to do her some good. >> that recitation of republicans that he has supported was just such a strong moment and it wound up -- and then she went back to the ndas and it wound up with nevertheless persistent moment, never enough is enough for you. >> let's play what she said about his support for republican candidates. >> mayor bloomberg, let's think

of it this way, we're here in charleston, and you know who's going to be in charleston later this week is donald trump? he's going to be here to raise money for his buddy senator lindsey graham, who funded lindsey graham's campaign for reelection last time? it was mayor bloomberg. and that's not the only right wing senator that mayor bloomberg has funded. >> i have been training for this job since i stepped in the pile that was still smoldering on 9/11. i know what to do. i've shown i know how to run a country. i've run the city which is almost the same size -- bigger than most countries in the world. i am not -- i am the one choice that makes some sense, i have the experience, i have the resources and i have the record. and all those side shows that the senator wants to bring up have nothing to do with that. >> i don't understand how you call things like that side shows. it is your record. >> yeah. >> it is who you are and who you

have been for the past 20 years. now, some democrats may say that's fine. we don't mind that he's been bipartisan. he's allowed to give his money to all kinds of causes and he's done some great things. but it seems arrogant. >> yeah. >> to say it doesn't matter and what's in my ads matters. so you have to come out from behind the curtain, and i think we've seen him do that and he hasn't been particularly impressive. better today than last time. and i think at some point you have to get people to say this is the person i am trusting to be commander in chief and i have to kind of understand him a little bit more and i don't just want the know what's in a glossy ad, money gets you so far, but not the whole distance. >> he's so disconnected from the challenges real people face. i'm from michigan and one of the defining issues we've had is the flint water crisis. this guy spent $3 million to reelect a republican governor who went on to poison flint.

you think about him thinking these things are side shows, he's so used to setting the agenda for -- among the mountain of people that work for him. but it's what works for the american people. he doesn't know what it's like to live on minimum wage, to suffer the health care you need, what it's like to be worried about losing your job. >> couldn't you make that same argument about donald trump? >> absolutely. >> and he's president. >> and we end up having donald trump versus -- >> nevertheless, he was able to win, and might very well win again. >> here's the difference though. donald trump has an understanding, he's a showman, he has an understanding of what gets to people. mayor bloomberg clearly is not. >> i'm not a great communicator, not a great politician and i've done a lot of stupid stuff, i've learned a lot in my time -- >> if that's your argument. >> that would have been a good thing to say tonight. >> but i get it done.

you know what, i can run this country, i've run this huge city, i can get it done. it's like the george h.w. bush speech, i hear the voices of -- or i see the people, i hear the people. >> you can't argue -- it's not really right to say because he is wealthy that he -- because franklin roosevelt who everybody reveres was incredibly wealthy. i don't think that disqualifies you and he has done things on issues like guns, very material in your hometown of detroit and mine of chicago, very, very significant but you're running to be the democratic nominee and, you know, the reason that elizabeth warren piece was so devastating was, i mean, you're funding people who are -- lindsey graham is anathema to democrats. it's hard to understand how you

could be the leader of this team when you're funding that team. >> push back on the point. the problem is not that he's rich, it's that he fundamentally lacks the empathy to appreciate how his policies in new york hurt people. he had the opportunity again to apologize for stop and frisk. and his apology was more like, why do you guys keep asking me, i've already said i'm sorry and i lived in new york during stop and frisk. i know what it's like to be stop and had frisked as a brown man. that disrespect for people and lack of empathy, that's the problem, that's what we can't have in a president. >> people expected him to get goat closer to showing empathy on stop and frisk this go round. he was just as terrible. in this debate in terms of his answer being very dismissive. essentially saying this is a side show too. >> let's play what he said and then we can keep talking about it. >> we let it get out of control and when i realized that i cut it back by 95% and i've

apologized and asked for forgiveness. i've met with black leaders to try to get an understanding of how i can better position myself, and what i should have done and what i should do next time. but let me tell you i have been working very hard, we've improved the school system for black and brown students in new york city. we've increased the jobs that are available to them. we've increased the housing that's available to them. >> but what more can you do about this issue, mr. mayor, to put the people's fears and skepticism to rest. it continues to follow you. >> that's because it's in their interest to promote that but if you talk to the people in new york city, i have over 100 black elected officials that have endorsed me, a lot of them are in the audience tonight, and i've earned the respect of people in new york city. i was the mayor of the largest, most populous city in the united states for 12 years, and people will tell you it's a lot better city today. it is safer for everybody.

the school system is better. the budget's under control. we've done the things that people need in new york city. for all ethnicities. >> can i just say white candidates have to stop doing this, i have black friends as an answer to something racist that has happened, that they have done in their past, that they've said or done? and he keeps saying when i realized stop and frisk had gone too far, as if there was not a court order to stop it because he had been sued and he fought it and they won. >> and he was backing it up as late as 2018. >> until he ran for president he was backing it up. >> the realization was a week before something he announced for president and he doesn't feel very convincing when he offers his apology. mike bloomberg thinks that he is the most qualified person to be president based on what he's done. he approaches this as a job interview and this other stuff he does not think is particularly relevant. >> the case for the nomination is essentially the opposite of pete buttigieg's.

let me explain. this primary is going to happen on saturday and on super tuesday, three days later. pete's campaign does not have the financial resources to advertise in the super tuesday states at a competitive level. that's why they put out this plea for donations recently. they need to cut those ads and put them in those markets as quickly as possible. three days is not enough time. even if he has a good result in south carolina, none of us expects that. bloomberg's argument is essentially the opposite. i've got infinite bankroll to fund ads in super tuesday and throughout the entire primaries and against donald trump, whatever the republicans marshall as resources i can outspend. the big missing piece to me is why bloomberg would not just take all of these resources and put them towards a candidate that he believed in. it reminds me of a movie director who cast himself. i can't find anyone who's going to be better in this role than me and i looked in the mirror and i said -- that's a very big question in my mind. but the argument he has is going

to stick with us this entire primary season as long as he stays in the race. i thought today was a much better debate for mike, and i actually have to say the improvement from less than a week ago to today, was significant. he went from being, you know, looking like he didn't belong to at least seeming like he fit in. >> we've got to take a quick break, we're going to hear from senator elizabeth warren when we come back as well as other candidates. more on the impact of what they said when our coverage continues.

back to debate night in south carolina. straight to dana bash and senator elizabeth warren. >> we are here with senator warren. how did you feel tonight in that free for all? >> it was a free for all. but i feel good. i got to talk about the things i wanted to talk about. including why i think i'm the best candidate for president. so that's got to be a good night. >> and you did -- some of your

fire had not been trained until at one point at bernie sanders. but you did directly say tonight that you think you will make a better president than bernie sanders. >> yeah, i do. >> and do you think you made that case. you obvious he obviously came in tonight as a very strong front runner. >> two things, the first one is we've got to understand, the democratic party is a progressive party. and progressive ideas are popular. they're popular among democrats and independents and republicans. my two cent wealth tax, popular among democrats and republicans. raising social security by $200 a month, popular among democrats and republicans. so there is a real progressive sense of what we can do. we get this moment. this is not a moment for any of the people on the stage who want to kind of nibble around the edges of problems. i think that this is a progressive moment. but we're only going to get one

chance at this. and that means we need a president who has a track record for getting things done, for digging in, for doing the hard work, for building the coalitions and for actually getting things done. >> several of your fellow democrats, your competitors, made very clear in no uncertain terms that they believe that bernie sanders, as the democratic nominee, will be a disaster for democrats, that he can't win because of his progressive policies. some of the ones that you were talking about. do you subscribe to that? do you think bernie sanders can beat donald trump? >> i think the most dangerous candidate on that stage for democrats is michael bloomberg because right now michael bloomberg has dumped what is it $400 million into buying his way onto that debate stage and yet look at all the things that are not yet exposed about michael bloomberg, how much support he

has given to republicans. which raises a real question. so, okay, he beats donald trump and then who is he really, is he a democrat or is he a republican? his history with women. his attacking of african-americans and latinos, blaming them, blaming red lining. blaming them. for the housing crash in 2008. this is not a man who's going to be able to garner the support of all of the democrats, and that would be a real problem for us going into 2020 to the general election. >> let me ask you a quick follow, you were not asked about this, nobody was, including the former mayor. his longtime partner diana taylor said last night on the question of the ndas and so forth it was 30 years ago, get over it. but just to be fair to her the context of that was that he worked on wall street, she understands that the culture was

very, very different back then, that it was a bro culture. >> look, if you want to make the argument it was a different culture, fine. make that argument. but release the women to be able to talk. this notion that there are i don't know how many women, and maybe men, who claim that they have been harassed or discriminated against and they are not able to tell their stories without fear of being sued by a billionaire, no, that just doesn't cut it, not in the democratic party, not in 2020. >> so i want to understand exactly what you're saying on that. he said he will release the women from the ndas. he says there are three. do crow siyou say he's lying or think he should release people from ndas that had nothing to do with him. >> let me be clear, if there are only three, and he's right, he could sign a general release, because it would apply to only

three people. why won't he sign a general release? also, i think it's very important, this is about the mayor himself and the mayor's company that he runs. so not all of this is from 30 years ago. we don't know how much there is and what the time is but i do know this. women have had enough of being told, no, no, no, it was a different time. didn't know how to take a joke. what was it the mayor said? tonight is enough is enough. no. when we're talking about pregnancy discrimination, which goes on today, enough is not enough. >> he denied that that happened. >> he denied it, but where is she? that's the whole point. women should have a chance -- i get to tell my story without fear of being sued by a billionaire. >> he said bloomberg will no longer have ndas, he credited you with that. >> fab. >> he pointed out when you made the point about pregnancy discrimination, what he did in

new york, that would be against the law to do to any teacher, does that add up to you? >> of course it does and i'm very, very happy to see it but it does not change the fact that today there are women who claim to have been discriminated against or sexually harassed who are not legally able to speak without running a risk that they will be sued by a billionaire. and a lot of folks can take that kind of risk so all i'm saying is, you know, we talk a lot in the me too era about the importance of believing women. how about just starting out by letting them speak? that's what the mayor should do. >> and you're saying that releasing three is not enough, that -- >> he picked the three. >> so you want them all released. >> yeah. >> as a lawyer, i'm just saying, that would be all right for him to do even if the two complainants did not involve himself, some other person, man who worked at bloomberg. >> it's his company. he tried last week to take credit. he said, no, no, no, my company won all of these terrific awards

and therefore that reflects on me. you've got to take the up with the down in that argument. he's the one who opened that door. once you've opened that door and it's absolutely clear you've got to take whatever's out there for the companies that you run. this is about taking responsibility. and look, it really is about who we can trust to be our nominee on the democratic side, going into a general election. >> on that note, let's look ahead. >> sure. >> we have the primary here on saturday. >> yeah. >> and super tuesday. >> yeah. >> including your home state. >> uh-huh. >> of massachusetts. >> yeah. >> where do you see yourself winning in order to keep your campaign going? >> you know, i just see this as every day i get out here and have a chance to talk about progressive values and to talk about the importance of getting things done, like the consumer agency that i fought for and that has now returned $12 billion directly to people.

that's how i make change. and i'm just delighted. i'm honored to be in this fight. look -- >> will you win massachusetts? >> i'll tell you this, when i got in the race, back in 2012, remember, i haven't been in politics that long. it's the first race i ever got in. when i got in in 2012, it was because people were saying scott rand the republican is simply unbeatable and they also said a woman can't beat him for which i say democrats get a better sales pitch. uh got in that race. i was down 17 points and the good people of massachusetts basically said to me you take the point, and we'll come and help you. people volunteered. people made it happen. and i ended up beating him by 7.5 points. i'm deeply grateful to the people of massachusetts and i've tried really hard to hold faith with all the trust they've put in me. >> senator, thank you so much.

>> thank you so much. it's always good to be here. i hope people will go to elizabethwarren.com, after the last debate we had a quarter of a million people come to our website and say i'm in this fight for a whole lot of different reasons but ultimately because i believe in the america we can build together. >> thank you, senator. >> so good to see you. >> thank you, you too. we're going to take a quick break, back with more candidates and analysis in new york with anderson and the team. this is a special 360 debate night coverage. stay with us. 5g will change business in america. t-mobile has the first and only, nationwide 5g network. and with it, you can shape the future. we've invested 30 billion dollars and built our new 5g network for businesses like yours. while some 5g signals only go a few blocks, t-mobile 5g goes for miles. no other 5g signal goes farther or is more reliable in business. tomorrow is in your hands. partner with t-mobile for business today.

difficult and chaotic were two words jess macintosh crewsed earlier tonight to describe the debate. for some -- gloria borger compared bernie sanders to a political bulldozer. >> we talk about progressive. let's talk about the progressives. nine people shot dead by a white supremacist. bernie voted five times against the brady bill and a waiting period -- no, let me finish. and waited -- a waiting period of 12 hours. i'm not saying he's responsible for the nine deaths but that man would not have been able to get that weapon with the waiting period had been what i suggest until you are cleared. >> back now with the team. he brings this up quite a lot, as an attack on sanders. and others -- i mean, it's been

brought up a number of times during debates in the past but he's sort of the only one pushing on this. does it work? >> we don't know. it's an open door for him. he feels it's a real opportunity. i'm surprised -- did bloomberg chime in on that? >> my guess is bloomberg is going to chime in with about $100 million in ads very soon on this. >> it's no surprise that biden would go on the attack this way on sanders and i think that, you know, there are lots of other issues that biden can attack him on but this is just so obvious for him. whether it helps him in south carolina, it might help him nationally with democrats, certainly to divide sanders from the mainstream of the democratic party which he believes that he represents. and sanders then comes out and says, look, that was a long time ago and i've changed my mind. and i've supported, you know, the assault weapons ban.

i lost a race for congress because i supported the assault weapons ban, which is true. so bernie has a good answer on that which is to say i'm different now from the way i was then which a lot of politicians up there on that stage, most notably michael bloomberg just can't bring -- >> he lost the race for congress before he took the pro-nra position so, the sequence is not convenient. >> you're right, you're absolutely right. but at least he did say that, on other issues, he can't say i made a mistake, but -- >> yeah, i mean, i think, listen, this could help him in south carolina. he obviously wrapped it in this very painful episode of folks in that charleston church, mother emmanuel being shot dead, charleston's going to be an important place to get out the african-american vote so you can see him doing that there with this issue that's very important to african-americans. you also saw him do the same thing with tom steyer on for profit prisons. that's where they got into that big shouting match, you could

barely hear what they were saying. >> that was interesting. >> it was a tom steyer i'd never seen before, yelling on stage because the -- >> never been attacked. >> steyer is doing well with african-americans in south carolina. he's been on air down there really since the impeachment ads that he's been running for years and years so you could tell where biden sees some of the vulnerabilities he has with african-american voters. >> let's play that exchange there. >> a prison thinking they'd do a better job and i investigated and i sold it. >> knew when you bought it they had done that. >> since then i've worked to end the use of private prisons in my home state, we've ended it. i've start add bank to support black ownership of businesses, women ownership of businesses and latino owners of businesses because this financial service industry is prejudiced. i have worked tirelessly on this. you know i'm right. you wrote the crime bill --

>> so, look, i know tom very well. he took that personally. that wasn't play acting. that wasn't something his team, find a moment or whatever. some stuff going on up there was that. tom really believes in racial justice. he does. and i think for him to get hit on that, i think tom feels very badly about the fact that he did invest in private prisons and now private prisons are terrible. he got out of private prisons before they got in terrible order. that was an authentic response, for biden to go after tom shows you the fear biden has that this guy is clawing into my black firewall. it's not just bernie, it's not -- you've got tom steyer in there running ad after ad and building support after tom's expense. >> we have tom steyer here.

you were watching that clip. i won't say it, you'll say what your reaction was watching it after the fact. >> well, you know, racial justice is something i care an amazing amount. >> yeah. >> and my family has been involved in it for decades. and so i take it really seriously and i was pushing back hard because -- >> you were mad. >> i care a lot about it and i've worked on it for years and i thought for someone who wrote the crime bill that put hundreds of thousands of black young men and latino young men in a way that's never happened before was really unfair. this is something, if you look at my history, this is something i've worked on. i was telling the truth. i've worked on this tirelessly, my whole family has. we started a bank literally to push back against racial prejudices in the financial services industry, we've done that for 15 years, not because i was running for president but because it's the right thing to do and i care about it. >> the fact the former vice president had his opposition

research rhett did to go he wanted to hit you on the private prison issue, it's obvious, if you look at the polls, why that is. his campaign, people around him, people who are supporting him think that his support has gone down here in south carolina, particularly among african-americans because you've taken it away. do you -- >> look -- honestly, i've been hearing that, and that also gets me a little upset and i'll tell you why. >> don't you want to do well? >> i do want to do well but there's an implication in there that somehow a politician owns black votes, has a right to black votes. i don't believe that for a second. i think that the truth of the matter is, which i've said publicly, the african-american community has been the moral leadership of this country and the idea that somehow losing those votes is losing something that you own, i just completely reject that idea. >> when he said you're -- he

said it again, we heard it in the clip. >> i don't know what that -- >> you're just jumping into it. he's trying to say i've spent decades and decades doing this, and you're sailing in, thinking you can take it away from me. >> i have no idea what that means. i find that humorous. >> joe biden's focus on you, though, does it surprise you? when you say that a politician owns it, you know at the end of the debate you were asked about how -- what you think people don't get about you and you said i'm all about business excess and money. >> the truth of the matter is what i'm really about is what i said, doing the right thing and telling the truth. that's exactly what i try and do all the time. i take that really seriously. people always ask me, why do you care about this stuff? the answer is, no, this is who i am. this is what i care about. i'm not caring about this in order to get something. this is what i care about. this is where my heart is. this is my -- this is what gets me up in the morning and i've been doing it for a long time and this is what i'm interested

in and this is my motivation in life. my motivation in life is not to win an election, but motivation in life is to tell the truth and do the right thing. if someone comes after me, i'm upset. >> you outspent your rivals by a lot in nevada on tv. you think you spent like $12 million or $13 million, correct me if i'm wrong, and you didn't get a lot for it when it comes to votes or delegate, caucus support. it could be different here. but obviously your goal is to be the democratic nominee. but you also are a businessman who knows math. so what are you thinking as you go into saturday, but then more broadly -- and about how much money you are willing to spend to keep going? >> look, if i can't show that i'm the person who can pull together this broad democratic coalition across racial and philosophical grounds then i -- that's what i intend to show on

saturday. that's what i think is important. what i was trying to say today is, look, we need to beat donald trump in november. that means we have to pull together the democratic party. there are a lot more of us than there are of them but there aren't a lot more of us if we don't all show up. >> how do you quantify showing? >> turnout. >> but, i mean, did you have in your mind a percentage? >> we'll look at it and see. but that's going to be the point. what i was trying to say tonight is, having a -- the press wants to think that there are really two candidates left in this race, a socialist who wants the government to take over large parts of the economy, and a former republican mayor who has a lot of policies that don't actually accord with democratic values, things like stop and frisk and redlining and he was actually supported, i think elizabeth warren brought up that he supported a lot of republicans, including george w. bush. so the question is, if we're going to try and pull this party together is that risky or

shouldn't we follow somebody who's a progressive democrat and can pull the party together across all the divisions. that's what we should be doing in order to beat donald trump. trump is incompetent. we're seeing this in coronavirus. but we're seeing it in his handling of the economy too. he is incompetent and we need someone who can talk about competence and job creation and making -- putting money in people's pockets, and letting it stay there in a way that hasn't happened in 40 years. that's what americans need to hear. why are we better than donald trump in terms of their prospects in life? >> all right, thank you very much. tom steyer, appreciate your time tonight. >> nice to see you both. >> we have to get a break in and just ahead we'll hear from a group of south carolina voters, and get their thoughts on what they saw tonight in that fracas. we never get to use that word.

more substance than style. we didn't talk about the suffering that exist the in country. that's what this debates should be about. >> i thought that bernie emerges unscathed. he didn't make a big difference in the south carolina voters. bernie has to understand the two different kinds of critics. people who are status quo and complacent with him. there's another set they are afraid. afraid he can't do it. and lose their seat. and those people need reassurance. not contempt. >> if you say to him in an interview, he says and rallies i'm making people nervous. the corporate media. wall street. democratic establishment. >> those people maybe -- other people are afraid. >> he needs to make the

transition from insurgent to front runner. >> joe biden had a strong night. i look to him to carry momentum through south carolina to super-tuesday. >> the next time we have a debate we will be on the other side of super-tuesday. we will be in a completely different phase of the very long campaign. this was an interesting night. i don't know how the candidates will do this weekend or next tuesday. but i'm -- >> after super-tuesday a number of the candidates -- >> this is the last time we see this group on stage together. the next time there will be fewer. >> will anybody drop out between south carolina and super-tuesday? >> if tom steyer does poorly. he could be the one to exit the race. >> klobuchar as well. >> thanks to everybody. we'll be right back. little anti- glycolic acid. revitalift 10 percent glycolic acid serum. with our highest concentration of glycolic acid. resurfaces skin to visibly reduce dark spots and wrinkles. revitalift glycolic acid serum from l'oréal.
