christie is the chair of the republican governors association. i was impressed when i watched the election returns in 2009 that he beat jon corzine, who a big spending governor who was a crook. he was successful in winning and went on to take the reins. when they sent one tax increase to another, they had the courage to leave his recovery by reducing the size and cost of government without raising taxes. a lot of other republic errs have done that.

late in that campaign we asked if governor christie would do an and we had a very successful fundraiser and we won that election. very proud of the progress that was made and the work not done. we have a lot more we want to do. we want to make iowa the envy of the country. appreciative that governor christie is not only helping this campaign but helping republican governors across the country. he is breaking the fundraising records that haley barbour did four years ago.

we were here for an event for speaker paulson earlier we go on to davenport to the mississippi valley for a big rally. myh that i want to introduce good friend, our great governor ,rom the state of new jersey governor chris christie. >> thank you. >> it's great to be back in iowa. it's a great event we did that evening together in 2010. i am happy to be here in 2011 and 2012 with mitt romney. governor branstad is a role model for me and others around the country about what public services be all about. he saw iowa in real deep trouble

. he and kim reynolds stepped up to the plate. he had already served 16 years as governor. ownut iowa before his personal interest. that is the way he ran the administration for the last four years. he and the lieutenant governor are people i considered friends and also who are outstanding public service. i am happy to be here. we have been involved in this race already. we are going to be continue to be involved in this race. before we take some questions i want to thank all the people from iowa who have been so welcome me. folks are really so kind to me and have the most generous things to say.

i will be back to help him. he gave him a republican state senate in iowa. you will see what he will do in the next four years as your governor. i am happy to take a few questions. >> is there something you are learning from iowa voters that would help -- [indiscernible] whether tosion on seek the presidency or not is a deeply personal one. while it is wonderful to get as encouragement, i have said the same thing to everyone.

that is a really personal decision. most voters understand that. while i appreciate the encouragement, in the end that is a decision you make and here. you don't make that decision based on policy. when the time is appropriate we will make that decision. >> in the gubernatorial race, the only negative spin run our by the -- is that going to continue through the campaign? argue with the premise of your question. we have an obligation. it is truthful. of if he is unhappy about his record he should have done something with his record before developing it. sure we have ake complete picture of these

candidates. we will do what we need to do. of governorive branstad and he speaks very well for himself and his record. if i can come in here and help once in a while to complete the picture, i will do so. >> i am not going to discuss a complicated issue like immigration and a parking lot here in marion, which really moreves a much deeper and thoughtful conversation that we give out here right now. the reason you see numbers that way is united states federal government has refused to address this issue. both parties are at fault for this.

i think the governor is concerned about the fact that washington, d.c. can't seem to get anything done. this is not really a partisan issue. it is just another expression of frustration by the american people. only a third? that is not bad. i will take it. every time i come here to iowa i

get a great sense of affection and respect. that doesn't mean you're going to be universally loved. if you want to be universally loved then you are the absolute poster boy of being of affected. i care about being respected. some people don't like me and that is their business am a that is their choice. i will be who i am. i think most people appreciate that. >> [indiscernible] clerics i think each state has its own issues. i would love to point out the difference between iowa and illinois. iowa we cut taxes, we reduced the size of government. they are getting worse.

they have raised taxes, they have the unattended system in the country. that is one of the reasons why our approach is working. we will get a vote of confidence from the voters in our state. i think they'll be counter to the republican governors interests. >> each one of our governors has done outstanding things based on the conditions in their own state, which is different from state to state prelim what i want to see in the next 110 days is each one of our incumbent governors to be judged on their record and each one of the incumbent democratic record -- democratic governors to be judged on theirs. i think we will have a good

night on november 4. claxton -- >> what you make of that? >> who knows, we will see where it goes. as one of the national leaders of the party, i do not have a white and black striped shirt to play referee. we will see. healthy conversation does not happen over the course of one interchange. what happens over the course of time. my job is to make sure that the republican governors get reelected. that is what my main focus is.

the extent that folks want to bicker about other things, that is the business. i am happy to do it. >> as governor of one of the largest hispanic populations, do you see the state of new jersey playing any role in providing temporary assistance, shelter, was --overnment aid that >> frankly the administration has done a job in securing our border and they need to do that. they have done an awful job in trying to handle that situation. i don't think it matters one bit when your hispanic population is.

we will take every request. that will be the wrong step to take. we don't like seeing people suffer. play a role in to encouraging this conduct. for six years he hasn't spoken up loudly, firmly, and clearly for israel. if the fact is that had an impact. it has an impact on israel. he is the only government in the middle east that stands for and theand freedom

things we stand for in this country. the fact is the president has dropped the ball on that one. >> [indiscernible] >> i'm not answering that question. i can take one more. that is a little too broad and ridiculous for me to address. -- who knows? these are the questions that you guys are fascinated with. him what i think happens is people get to know you and make a judgment on you. they are not going to put you in any kind of box. the box is ultimately yes or no. all the rest of the boxes are meaningless in the context of yes or no. election i ever run then, i present myself as who i am. and people make a judgment. run for anything else again in my life i will

.ome out, i will present myself i give them a direct answer. i don't know if he liked it or r didn't like it. everyone else will get to decide. they don't go in there and say are you conservative enough, are you liberal enough? that's not what people say. they say, do i trust him? can they count on me to cap -- can account for me to tell the truth? that is the way people judge. if i ever run for anything again i'll be happy to judge the say my eye was judged in new jersey. those questions don't bother or matter to me at all. are yould say governorive enough?

chris christie and the republican governors have put .ut some honest ads at the democratic governors association, not identifying with who they were, they called it iowans for responsible government. it was an outright lie and the people of iowa were smart enough and discerning enough to recognize it for what it is. they knew i was the strongest candidate but i won the primary. of for the first time since 1962 an incumbent governor. i think people trust me as a governor that is honest, direct, and loves the state and works hard for the people of iowa. i think that is what people like.

why we are so proud to have a straight shooter like governor christie support her candidacy. >> thank you very much. [applause] >> governor christie spoke at a fundraiser for governor branstad, where he talked about november's midterm election. this is 20 minutes. >> all right, all right. thank you. thank you. thank you very much. it's great to be back in iowa. governor, thank you so much for that introduction. it's funny to stand up here and hear that i was an inspiration

for him to run for governor. because i can tell you that in 2010 when we got that phone call in new jersey from his campaign asking if i would come and campaign for him near the end of the campaign, i said to my staff he knows who i am and this say legend. this say guy who set the example for governors all across the country of both parties. and not just because he initially served four terms and did an extraordinary job. but the thing that makes his public service so extraordinary is the example he set for the last four years. four years ago when he was in a very good job that he was doing a great job at and getting to spend even more time with his family, he saw what awful shape iowa was in. he saw what the last administration was doing to iowa, to iowa's economy, to iowa's education system and

today pride that iowa rightfully feels about it, it was diminishing because of the awful policies that were being put in place. when he could have said no thank you, i served four terms as governor of iowa, i've done my service, instead he did what real selfless publics service is all about. he put the people of iowa and the state he loves ahead of his own personal interest. that's the greatest inspiration you give to anybody. it's not about you. it's about the people that you serve. and so i know the people in this room understand this. but he's not just an inspiration to fellow people of iowa. he's an inspiration to people across this country.

he's a great governor and he will continue to be a great governor because you are going to return him to office, aren't you? \[applause] >> and i have a lieutenant governor name kim too. she is the acting governor since i am here in iowa. but kim reynolds is somebody i got to meet four years ago. and she is an extraordinary leader and partner. he's right, she has extraordinary energy and great ideas and she's somebody who i think people all across the state look up to. because again, she's someone who is doing the job every day. not looking for fanfare, not looking for the limelight. not looking to be the star of the show. looking to get the job done. and that's the kind of partner you want when you are a governor. he picked really wisely four years ago and there is no reason to change a winning team when you are in the middle of a winning streak which is what iowa is in the middle of.

please give them as much support as you can. now here we are in scott county. i probably shouldn't say this but when i was walking in, he said this is the best county. these guys, i never lose in scott county. i never lose in scott county. these are really good supporters of our party. and so for all of you who are here tonight and i turned to the chair while he was talking and said this is such an amazing turnout in the middle of july for you all to be here supporting this team and this ticket in the middle of july when you could be doing lots of other things, it is incredibly impressive for me to see all of

you out here. i can tell you we're working just as hard across the country to give the same kind of support you are giving to terry right here in iowa to all the other republican governors and the folks who want to be republican governors. and we're going to do great things. we have 29 republican governors now. as terry said i'm going to be the 14th state in july and august alone. i've been to 19 states between december and june. and we're going across the country raising money, campaigning, and speaking to folks about why it makes a difference to have a republican governor in your state house rather than one of the other party. of the 20 best performing states in the economy, 19 have republican governors. that is not a co-incidence everybody. \[applause] so now i have a job to do. not just to be the governor of new jersey but to be the person to lead this group of governors to bigger and better things. when i get to leave my state as i'm doing today and i get to

come to a place where here in iowa you have a republican house of representatives, i must say that it brings out a bad side of me. i get terribly envious. green with envy in fact because i have an all democratic legislature. i've had an all democratic legislature since the day i walked in. while we get things done and i've worked hard and it's the governor's job to work with people they send you although i tell the people of new jersey they have an extraordinary sense of humor. they've elected a republican governor and democratic legislature. they are like the 1-year-old boys in the basement doing a science experiment. let's mix these two things

together and see what happens. we've had some explosions every once in a while. we've had real conflict but we've also gotten things done. the difference is when you have an effective governor, when you have someone who understands what it means to try to work hard and work productively for the people, you don't use those things as excuses. there is a split legislature here. earlier he had an all democratic legislature. you never heard terry use that as an excuse. i can't get anything done because of the legislature people sent me. that's not the way you do business. whoever you sent me, it's our job to make things happen. so in new jersey even despite those things, despite all the vetoes and my first two years as governor i set a record for vetoes for a two-year period since our new constitution was instituted in 1947. and the two years after that i broke the record for the first two years. and we're going to break another record.

sometimes as go nor i have to say no. someone asked me if i'm staying in iowa tonight. i said part of my legislature was in town today without me there. they are not allowed in the state house without adult supervision, i have to get home. as much as i'd love to stay here, i have to get home to be in the state house tomorrow to see what they were up to today. but also we've been able to cap property taxes in our state. we have 6,000 fewer employees on the new jersey state payroll than when i got in office in 2010. we are spending $2.2 billion less today than we did in fiscal year 2008 on everything but our pensions and healthcare. we have squeezed government to be smaller and smarter and more efficient. it's the conservative principles we all stand for whether we live in new jersey or iowa or if florida or georgia or ohio or michigan or wisconsin, we all stand for those things. and those are the principles that unite us as a party and we

have to continue to have unite us as a party. whatever differences we may have inside our own party, whatever good arguments we have, they are small compared to the differences we have with the other side. remember back to four years ago and how much different iowa feels today than it felt four years ago. so you've sat here through a lot of speeches and a top ten list. i'm not going to wear you out tonight. but i want to say one more thing to you and leave you with something to think about. here in this room all these folks, all of you are people who are already on the team. you wouldn't be here tonight if you weren't on the team. you wouldn't be here if you weren't willing to stand up for the people on our republican ticket in iowa and do a great

job for them. some people would say what i am doing tonight by exhorting you is preaching to the choir. i talked about this, i'm married to a woman who is number nine of 10 children. she has six older brothers and two older sisters and a younger sister. small irish catholic family from the northeast. and what it means is when i got married into that family i have relatives everywhere in america, aunts, uncles, first cousins, second cousins twice removed. we got them p all and they are everywhere. one place we have relatives in albany and new york. i went to visit my brother-in-law and sister-in-law in albany and new york. we are catholic and my sister-in-law is lutheran. she asked if we would government we went with them and i heard

the best explanation that day from the pastor that i've ever heard about preaching to the choir because tonight i'm preaching to the choir. we have this popular sentiment about that phrase, it's wasting time. this pastor explained it. he said i preach to the choir. i plead guilty preaching to the choir. i preach to the choir every sunday. i preach to the choir so they will sing. for the first time i understood the power of preaching to the choir. because all of you are part of the choir for the republican team in this state. i'm here to preach to the choir so you will sing to your family and friends, so you will sing to your neighbors and co-workers. so you will sing to the people you see in the parking lot at church on sunday, so you will sing to the people you see on the football field this fall on friday night or saturday afternoon, so you will sing to

the people you see in the supermarket check outline, every place you go, that you'll tell people that you are amongst the leaders in this state who will be able to look at others and say i've met the governor. i've met the lieutenant governor. i've looked him in the eye. i've taken the measure of their character. and not only am i voting for them, i'm working for them. 110 days to go and the results of this election are about whether we're going to expand republican gains in the house, whether we are going to take over the state senate for the republicans, whether we are going to elect a republican woman to the united states senate and give us a republican majority in washington, d.c. \[applause] whether we're going to elect a new republican female congresswoman from right in this district. \[applause]

>> i have to tell you the truth. at this point given everything i've seen it's not up to the governor or lieutenant governor or these individual candidates. they are going to work hard. you know they are. i am so tired of hearing how hardworking terry is, i got to tell you the truth. five stops today, hardest working governor in america. i hear it. i know. hardest working governor in america. he's not going to let up now. he's going to work hard. kim is going to work hard. all the candidates are going to work hard. how about you? 110 days to go. \[applause] there are two scenarios that i'm going to lay out for you. we're an hour ahead so i can see into the future. here is the thing, i can see into the future, two different scenarios. ad, so i can see into the future. here's the thing.

i can see into the future. two different scenarios. scenario number one, wake up on the morning of november 5th. we come just a little bit short, one seat short in the state senate. we don't expand our margins in the house. we don't have a new republican united states senator from iowa, and we don't have new republican members of the house of representatives in washington. because we came just a little bit short. think about how you'll feel that morning when you wake up. make the clock radio wakes you up and you hear the news being reported about the slim losses by republicans in iowa. you wanted to lay there and think to yourself, if i had only done a little bit more. if i had only put aside some of my personal pursuits for that 110 days, and put my state first, put my country first, just for 110 days, if i'd done that, maybe we'd have had a different result. governor branstad would have had a legislature who would have

been moving fully in the direction of his bid for iowa's future. maybe we would have a republican united states senate and bigger majority in the house of representatives that would pressure the president of the united states to finally start leading and acting in this country, and not being a bystander in the oval office. [ applause ] but we didn't do it. we came up short. we'll have that feeling of regret. and those pangs of guilt. scenario number two. it's much better. you wake up on november 5th. the clock radio goes off. you're hearing the news reports. and we're talking about a new female republican united states senator who is the difference in a republican majority in the united states senate. a new state senate that's controlled by republicans in iowa. a bigger house majority in iowa.

a bigger house republican majority in washington. [ applause ] and you're going to know, you're going to know you did it. you're going to know you did it. it wasn't the 30-second tv ads, as nice as they are. it wasn't the mail in the mailbox. it was you. because you are still the most powerful force in american politics. you talking to friends and neighbors and others who look to you as a leader. you're still the most important force in politics. and you know what? i suspect iowa understands that better than almost any other state in america. you get the fact that you're the ones who can make a difference. so let's not fall short. let's not wake up under scenario number one, with pangs of guilt and regret. let's wake up after a joyful, celebratory evening on november 4th, where we have now set a record for the longest and best-serving governor in the history of america, and his republican team showing the rest

of america what strong conservative republican leadership can do to turn our entire country around. because when we get done, on november 4th, of 2014, we will all turn our eyes towards 2016 and taking our country back. but first things first, everybody. [ applause ] i'll end with one of my favorite quotes. from one of the great leaders in the history of this country. he was a really blunt, direct, outspoken guy. so you can't imagine why i might like him. he's one of the founding fathers, john adams. as he was nearing death, near the 50th anniversary of the country that he helped to birth, he was concerned that america was moving in the wrong

direction, concerned like many of us are today about our country. he was older, and weaker, and living up at his farm and didn't have the energy any longer to be able to travel to the nation's capital and speak out. so he wrote for us in his diary, in his dying days, and i think it applies to what i've just been urging all of you to do. his advice is very similar to the advice i just gave you. he gave it to all of us. he wrote this in his diary to his fellow countrymen. he said, you shall never know the sacrifices that we made to secure for you your liberty. i pray you will make a good use of it. for if you do not, i shall repent in heaven for ever having made the sacrifice at all. john adams understood how precious liberty was, because he

watched people fight and die for it. he birthed a country that has produced the greatest economy, the greatest military, and the most compassionate people the world has ever seen. and he would say to us, if we let this opportunity go by, that we didn't really truly appreciate the price that has been paid for the liberty that we enjoy. he would want us to work to make sure we expand that liberty, and that freedom, for everybody. not just for us, but for the next generations. so if we do what we need to do over the next 110 days, i guarantee i will travel to every corner of this country to get this message out there, and to get republican governors reelected and elected. and if you do what you need to do inside iowa in the next 110 days, two great things will happen. iowa will have a better and

brighter tomorrow for your children and grandchildren, and john adams will not have to repent in heaven. for having made the sacrifice of giving us the liberty that we exercise here every day. [ applause ] so thanks for inviting me here today. we have had a full day. a full day across this entire great state with the governor and the lieutenant governor. i've enjoyed every minute of it. these press who follow me around asking me, do people in iowa love you, governor? and, you know -- [ applause ] and i say, heck, i don't know, we just met. but the early indications are good. the early indications are good, and i will tell you that i feel so wonderful coming here. i've been here for governor branstad, i've been here for

governor romney. and every time i've come to iowa, i've been greeted so warmly and so kindly, by all of you, and it makes me feel really good. to be able to get on the airplane and go home tonight knowing that i made a lot of new friends, and hoping that i did just a little bit to make victory on november 4th for people that i care deeply about, like terry a little bit more possible. so let's not let up. let's work as hard as we can the next 110 days. and i'll see you back here in iowa again very soon. thank the look at some of potential candidates who will run in 2016 from washington journal. , national political reporter with bloomberg news. we are talking about campaign

democratic central -- and the potential democratic field. you were talking about rhythm nation. what is that? largestt is the gathering of progressives in the country and is a group that started about nine years ago and has been growing since. there has been a lot of chatter about how big he has gotten since its early days. this is the left of the left. i was sort of joking that it's a little bit like the seatac of the democrats. what is their influence like echo how much power do they wield? guest: that was a big question i kept asking. how powerful are they echo democratic electorate -- how powerful are they? a democratic electorate that seems so united behind hillary clinton, and you look at favorability with other democrats, and this might have been a 10% that has not quite embraced her yet.

launching another candidate is hard to imagine, but they really want to push the debate to left and they want to make sure their issues are debated in the primary. host: what are the issues they care about for 2016? guest: they really care about income inequality. wallcare about holding street accountable. they care a lot about the issues that elizabeth warren talks about. and one of the surprise issues, for me at least, what was immigration -- was immigration that they care deeply about. host: running immigration reform? guest: wanting immigration reform and a little bit of disappointment with president obama's response at the border, even hillary clinton's response with the migrants gathering at the southern border. host: what are they saying, though, about capability and winning in 2016? look at the quinnipiac university poll. american voters backed hillary clinton over leading republican contenders.

so far, she can beat any republican that is being mentioned, according to these polls. guest: right. i saw that. thing thatre is one unites the democratic party is the republican party right now. basically, the republican party is so far on the right that people are not quite willing to walk away. even if they don't like hillary clinton, you get the sense they will still vote for her. but they want to make sure that she has some sort of challenge, that she does not just walk to the nomination. and they want a challenge to be a time for them to really get her, to flesh out her economic plan, and they want to see hoover economic advisors would be. they do not want to see a larry summers. they want to see people who they believe will take a tougher stance on wall street. you mentioned she did not go to the event. guest: no. host: was she invited?

guest: she was invited, yes. according to the organizers, she was invited, and declined the invitation. she has gone to these events in the past. you would think this is a conference she will attend after she announces, assuming she does run. host: her supporters were there. guest: yes, the super pac for hillary, they brought their bus. they had one tent in the conference, but they certainly weren't the most popular faction there. they were there waving the flag. sponsored a bunch. they sponsored the food people were eating. people were eating the hillary cap takes, but were not so excited about the hillary candidacy. host: as you mentioned, vice

president joe biden was there. elizabeth warren was there. how were they received? guest: i will do biden first. presidentsitting vice , and any time you have the vice president in the room, there is electricity around that. but he was heckled from the crowd on the image -- on the issue of immigration. hit on a lot of different points, but it was not really directed toward his audience the way elizabeth warren's was. these are her people. when she got up and spoke, she was hitting on every single issue they care about. one after another, and her speech was punctuated by people chanting "run, live, run -- run" and it cost her to stop her speech -- it

caused her to stop her speech and asked everyone to calm down. show a littleo bit of both of their speeches. let's begin with vice president speech in detroit on thursday. [video clip] >> imagine a country where we are generating phenomenal breakthroughs and renewable energy, where you can plug in a vehicle and go 300 miles, filling up on electrons cheaper than gas, cheaper than natural gas or coal. it is within our power. [applause] imagine where the perpetrators of domestic violence are treated and there is no longer talk about it being domestic. imagine how that changes things. it is within our power. [applause] imagine where a single employer does not have the right to fire someone because of their sexual orientation. it is all within our reach.

imagine fighting for climate change instead of hiding behind in difference. imagine a country where once again, we value work and we work in a commensurate way where the class -- where the middle class is expanding. imagine a country where we expand research and not tax loopholes. [applause] imagine a country where we lead not just by the example of our power, but by the power of our example. host: that was vice president joe biden at the liberal at detroit on in thursday. let me show you also a little bit of elizabeth warren's speech . she was also there on thursday. here is what she has to say. [video clip] will be cannotn fight for and it will be a hard fight. companiesy powerful look for every possible way they can to boost their profits, and to boost their ceo bonuses.

they try to win more efficient companies. they try to grow faster. they try to beat out the competition. but many of them have another plan. they use their money and their connections to try to capture washington and rig the rules in their favor. from tax policy to retirement security, those with power fight to make sure that every rule tips in their favor. everyone else just gets left behind. that is what we are up against. that is what democracy is up against. just look at the big banks. they cheated american families, crash the american economy, got bailed out, and now the biggest banks were even bigger -- are even bigger than they were when they were too big to fail in 2008. they still swaggered through washington, blocking reforms and pushing around agency --

agencies. a kid get out with a few ounces of pot and goes to jail, but a big bank laundered drug money and no one gets arrested. [applause] it is rigged. host: annie linskey, that was elizabeth warren on friday, i should say, in detroit, the day after john vice president -- the day after vice president joe biden spoke. the biggest contrast between those two speeches? guest: she was electrifying for the audience there. she has an authenticity that comes through and really speaks the party. your question was a good one, does it matter? hillary,e so behind does it matter if there is an elizabeth warren? that there is interest in elizabeth warren? you have to think about if

hillary does run, she will want elizabeth warren's endorsement. perhapscan see that, being something that will push clinton on her issues. and already, elizabeth is talking a little bit about -- and already, clinton is talking about income inequality. she did talk about it in a speech this summer, and you have to think that is in part because of this amazing energy elizabeth warren has tapped into a in that issue. we are talking to the democratic field in 2016. let's go to glenn in new york, democratic caller. caller: think you for taking my call. usually, the sitting vice president is traditionally the one who runs for president in the next election. i'm curious why there is -- why joseph biden is being bypassed, really. i mean, he's being overlooked entirely by elizabeth warren and hillary clinton.

and there is nothing wrong with joseph biden as a potential candidate. i will get off the air and listen to your response. good: yeah, sure, another point. it is traditionally the launching pad to the presidency. i just really think in 2008 there was this choice for democrats. .illary clinton or barack obama and there's a sense among democrats that they want to see -- glasss tubing ceiling shattered. they want to see a woman elected. that is a problem for biden, and that is what is propelling hillary clinton forward. ,ost: we will go to new york kyle, democratic caller. caller: good morning. -- you know,ffled as one of the left of the left, i'm baffled by the fact that we seem to be sidestepping the idea that we have less opportunity with obama having slipped

through our fingers, how we did not energize the left that much and we let the right walk all over us. and now we are going to read rally with new energy to elect the next president that will save the world. host: do you doubt that can happen? have this energy for another democratic candidate? think that the collision of events that caused obama to be elected was so miraculous -- i mean, it was like a once in a generation thing, like electing bobby kennedy. for that to be manufactured without understanding how we let this opportunity slip through our fingers and just kind of moveon and have discussion about how entertaining it will be to president, these are puzzling options to me. saw hadne thing you meant roots was a lack of

enthusiasm for hillary clinton. there is one woman i talked to, a young woman wanted two years old, and she said, you know, elizabeth warren really speaks to me. i said, o, that is really interesting. i was asking her for her name to include in my story. and she said, i don't want to give you my name, because i think i will try to work for the ready for hillary super pac. there was this kind of resignation that this is his our person was going to be. who our person was going to be. you may -- there is this lack of enthusiasm for another candidate. and there'sfinished not a lot of space for an insurgent candidate like obama to come up. host: this energy that you are seeing, is a translating into fundraising dollars for elizabeth warren? warren hasabeth become -- she has been in the

senate now for less than two years. and if you look at her , it is oneact, --pac of the largest democratic leadership acts. --pacs. when she sent out an e-mail for being a candidate, immediately hundreds of people respond. that is why you see her going into red states, like kentucky, or west virginia, to campaign for democratic candidates in states that obama lost by double toits, because she is able tap into that enthusiasm and raise that kind of money. 1.3 from open secrets, her level playing field pac. and hillary took in $2.5 million in the last quarter, which is also a lot of money.

and they are limiting their donations to $125,000. the: two candidate? guest: running for hillary pack is $2.5 million in the last quarter. are $2.8al receipts million. is she intruding to the 2014 candidate pac? guest: she is giving to candidates, to the party. they are spreading that money around. you have not seen her aside from the virginia governor's race. do the democratic candidates want her to come in? guest: that is a good question. i would assume so. will would assume that she

, and as you get a little closer thehe election, but candidate really doing it is elizabeth warren. host: we will take a call. tom, you're on the air. go ahead. caller: good morning, ladies. sanders or elizabeth warren, it doesn't matter. i think they both make a good team -- campaign ticket. bill clinton was his removal of glass-steagall. bill clinton did nothing but turn to the right and i see the exact same with hillary. guest: that was what i heard over and over again, you know, tying hillary to the policies of her husband. i think she's going to have to distance herself from him in order to capture the

progressives. that willthe people be out there staffing the phone banks, knocking on doors. that is something that came up over and over again, her ties to wall street. she was the senator from new york. look at the clinton foundation, jonathan allen and i did a story that showed 29 of the 30 dow jones companies, 29 of the 30 largest companies in the united states have given money or participated with the clinton foundation. . of thes to the very top u.s. industry are tight, and that does create some suspicion. it will be interesting to watch her, as she handles that. host: we will go to john next in mississippi, republican caller. you got to turn the television down, so we don't hear the

feedback. go ahead with your question or comment. hello? i can hear myself. host: we will go on to the next color. you got to turn the television down. doug, go ahead. caller: good morning, ladies. i'm going to give you a scoop and i do believe it will be the governor of massachusetts to be the next president. why do you say that? caller: because he is the person to do the job. i love hillary and all, but if hillary were to run, it would be the same as running against the president, obama. because if she were to run, people would see it as clinton's third term in the white house. he's talking about

governor deval patrick, the governor from massachusetts. he has very good ties to obama, and to clinton. and he is a really interesting candidate out there. he has said over and over again that he is not running in 2016, but he does have his own super pac, and you do see him traveling around. he is a fantastic campaigner. and he's very popular in massachusetts. he gave -- came in in the beginning of this populist wave. he was part of this clinical machine and he won by reaching out to voters that they had not reached out to before. he is part of the progressive democrats that parts of the party are really pushing for. he has repeatedly said he wants to make some money.

there has been talk, at least in massachusetts, that maybe he .ill run it may be somewhere down the line. somebody else that we watch, governor martin o'malley. that for the first time when i was at net roots, people brought his name up practically. they really liked what he said andune about immigration that is a sort of softer at thee to the children border. weeks, then recent white house response and the

public's response to this issue. guest: they really liked that he was out there on this issue. host: did he -- did they like that he was fighting with the president? guest: i think that was a story that the o'malley people did a pretty good job tamping down a little bit. it appears there was a little bit of misunderstanding between the white house and between o'malley's administration on they will do. o'malley has said he did not want immigrants to come into maryland. in fact, he was saying there was one part of the state there has already been anti-immigration graffiti and that is not the best place. there are other parts of the state that >> tomorrow, anthony's box -- anthony foxx will speak at the national press club. without congressional action,
