the bosses were determined to shut it down. they spread rumors and fear about the strikers. one factory owner even paid a guy to plant sticks of dynamite around town so that he could frame the workers as a violent mob. the mill owners owned city government. city government called martial law and it was a hard fight. families already going to bed hungry had to make due with even less. they were cold, they were under attack, but they stuck together and they won [cheers and applause]

high wages, overtime pay, everybody back at work and those workers did more than improve their own lives, they changed america. within weeks more than a quarter of a million textile workers throughout new england got raises. within months, massachusetts became the first state in the nation to pass a minimum wage law [cheers and applause] and today there are no children working in factories. [cheers] we have national minimum wage and national worker safety laws. ewould get paid overtime and we now have a 40-hour week. that's right. that's right. because of the workers here in lawrence and all across the country, we have weekends. [cheers] the story of lawrence is a story about how real change happens in

america. it is a story about power. our power when we fight together. [cheers and applause] today millions and millions and millions of american families are also struggling to survive in a system that's been rigged. rigged by the wealthy and the well-connected. hard-working people are up against a small group that holds far too much power, not just in our economy, but also in our democracy. democracy. [applaus [applause] >> like the women of lawrence, we are here to say enough is enough. [cheers] we are here to take on a fight

that will shape our lives, our children's lives and our grandchildren's lives just as surely as the fight that began in these streets more than a den r century ago. [cheers] >> because the man in the white house is not the cause of what is broken, he is just the latest and most extreme symptom of what's gone wrong in america. a product of a rigged system that props up the rich and powerful and kicks dirt on everyone else. [cheers and applause] so once he's gone, we can't pretend that none of this ever happened. it won't be enough just to undo the terrible acts of this administration. we can't afford just to tinker around the edges, a tax credit

here, a regulation there. our fight is for big, structural change. [cheers and applause] this is the fight of our lives. the fight to build an america where dreams are possible and america that works for everyone. [cheers] and that's why i stand here today to declare that i am a candidate for president of the united states of america [cheers and applause]

[cheers] warren, warren, warren, warren! warren! warren! warren! >> now, the truth is i've been in a fight for a long time.

i grew up in oklahoma on the ragged edge of the middle class. now, when my daddy had a heart attack, my family nearly tumbled over the financial cliff, but we didn't. my mother, who was 50 years old and had never worked outside the home, walked to sears and got a minimum wage job answering the phones. that job saved our house and it saved our family. i ended up in a commuter college that cost $50 a semester. >> wow! (laughter) >> but think about it, that is how the daughter of a janitor managed to become a public school teacher, a law professor, and a united states senator. i believe in an america of opportunity!

i spent most of my life studying what happened to families like mine, families caught in the squeeze. families that go broke and what i found was that year after year the past economic security has gotten tougher and rockier for working families and even tougher and even rockier for people of color. i also found this wasn't an accident. it wasn't inevitable, no. over the years america's middle class has been deliberately hollowed out and families of color have been systematically discriminated against and denied their chance to build some security. [cheers] it started very quietly. the richest and most powerful people in america, they were

rich. i mean really rich, but they wanted to be even richer and they didn't care who got hurt, so every year bit by bit, they lobbied washington and paid off politicians to tilt the system just a little more in their direction, and year by year, bit by bit, more of the wealth and opportunity went to the people at the very top. and that is how today in the richest country in the history of the world tens of millions of people are struggling to get by. since the early 1970's, adjusted for inflation, wages in america have barely budged, but the cost of housing has gone up nearly two-thirds. the cost of college has nearly tripled and 40% of americans couldn't find $400 to cover an

emergency. that's millions of hard-working people in this country whose lives would be turned unsidedown if the transmission fell out of the car or somebody got sick and missed a week at work. the middle class squeeze is real and millions of families can barely breathe. this is not right. [applause] [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting] >> now, this disaster has touched every community in america. and for communities of color that have stared down structural

racism for generations, the disaster has hit even harder. take home ownership, the number one way that middle class families build wealth in our country. back in 1960, it was legal to discriminate against families of color and the gap between white home ownership and black home ownership rates, 27 percentage points. over time we've changed the law to prohibit that kind of discrimination and gap began to close. but today, the home ownership gap between white and black families, it's bigger than when housing discrimination legal. race matters and we need to soy

-- say so. [cheers and applause] and we can't be blind to the fact that the rules in our country have been rigged against other people for long time. women, lbgtq americans, latinos, native americans, immigrants, people with disabilities, and we need to call it out [cheers and applaus. [cheers and applause] >> but over -- over the course of generations, fuels of our economy have gotten rigged so far in favor of the rich and powerful that everyone else is at risk of being left behind. listen to this, the 1940's 90% of all kids were destined to do better than their parents.

the 1980's, the odds slipped to 50-50 and now we could be the first generation in american history where more kids do worse than their parents. and meanwhile the rich and powerful seem to break the rules and pay no price. no matter what they do. they grow richer and more powerful. bailouts for bankers that cheat, companies that pollute, that's what a rigged system looks like. too little accountability for the rich and too little opportunity for everyone else. [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting]

now, when i talk about this, some rich guys scream class warfare. let me tell you something, these same rich guys have been waging class warfare for people over decades. i say it's time to fight back. [cheers] to protect their economic advantages, the rich and powerful have rigged our political systems as well. they fought off and bullied politicians in both parties to make sure that washington is always on their side. some of them have even tried to buy their way into public office. so today, our government, great, great companies, defense contractors, great for private prisons, great for wall street banks and hedge funds, it's just

not working for anyone else. and when it comes to climate change, our very existence is at stake. but washington refuses to lift a finger without permission from the fossil fuel companies that's dangerous and it's wrong. [cheers and applause] and it isn't just climate change. look at any other major issue in america, gun violence, student loan debt, the crushing cost of health care, mistreatment of our veterans, a broken criminal justice system, an immigration system that lacks common sense and under this administration, lacks a conscience.

[cheers] overwhelming majorities of americans want action. huge crowds march on washington demanding change, letters, phone calls, protests, but nothing happens, nothing. why? because if you don't have money and you don't have connections, washington doesn't want to hear from you. when government works only for the wealthy and the well-connected, that is corruption plain and simple, and we need to call it out. [cheers and applause] corruption is a cancer on our democracy. and we will get rid of it only with strong medicine, with real structural reform.

our fight is to change the rules so that our government, our economy, and our democracy work for everyone. [cheers] >> and i want to be crystal clear about exactly what i mean when i say that. first, we need to change the rules to clean up washington, end the corruption. [cheers] >> now, we all know, the trump administration is the most corrupt in living memory. but even after trump is gone, it won't do just to do a better job of running a broken system. we need to take power in washington away from the wealthy and well-connected and put it back in the hands of the people

where it belongs. [cheers and applause] and that is why i have proposed the strongest and most comprehensive anti-corruption law since watergate. [cheers] let me just give you some examples, just some examples. shut down the revolving door between wall street and washington. [cheers] end lobbying as we know it. [cheers] and while we're at it, are ban foreign governments from hiring lobbyists in washington. [cheers] oh, and make justices of the united states supreme court follow a basic code of ethics. [cheers] ban members of congress from

trading stocks. how is that not already illegal? [cheers] oh, and just one more. [laughter] >> make every single candidate for federal office put their taxes online. [cheers] so that's one, root out corruption in washington. now two, change the rules to put more economic power in the hands of the american people. workers and small businesses. middle class families and people of color who have been shut out of their chance to build wealth for generations. again, that requires real structural change.

right now giant corporations in america have too much power and they just roll right over everyone else. we need to put power back in the hands of workers. [cheers] make it quick and easy to join a union. unions built america's middle class. unions will rebuild america's middle class. [cheers] and make american companies accountable for their actions. raise wages by putting workers in those corporate board rooms where the real decisions are made. break up monopolies when they choke off competition. [cheers] take on wall street and banks so the big banks can never again threaten the security of our economy. [cheers] and when giant corporations and

their leaders, cheat their customers, stomp out their competitors and rob their workers, let's prosecute them. [cheers] you know, and one more thing. i am tired of hearing that we can't afford to make real investments in child care, college, and medicare for all. [cheers] i'm tired of it. i'm tired of hearing that we can't afford to make investments in things that create economic opportunities for families. [cheers] >> i'm tired of hearing that we can't afford to make investments in things like housing and opioid treatment. can't afford to address things like rural neglect or the legacy of racial discrimination. i'm tired of hearing what we can't afford because it's just

not true. [cheers] we are the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. of course we can afford these investments. but we need a government that makes different choices. choices that reflect our values. stop handing out enormous tax giveaways to rich people and giant corporations. [cheers] stop refusing to investor in our children. [cheers] stop stalling on spending money, real money on infrastructure and clean energy and a green new deal.

[cheers] and start asking the people who have gained the most from our country to pay their fair share. [cheers] and that includes real tax reform in this country. reforms that close loopholes and giveaways to people at the top and ultra millionaire's tax to make sure that rich people start doing their part for the country that's made them rich. [cheers] okay. so that's one, clean up washington. that's two, change the rules of our economy and now three, change the rules to strengthen

our democracy. [cheers] and that starts with a constitutional amendment to protect the right of every american citizen to vote and to have that vote counted. [cheer [cheers] oh, and that's just the beginning. overturn every single voter suppression rule that racist politicians use to steal votes from people of color. [cheer [cheer

[cheers] gerrymandering by democrats and republicans, and overturn citizen's united, our democracy is not for sale. and by the way, by the way, if we truly believe that, then we also need to end the unwritten rule of politics that says that anyone who wants to run for office has to start by sucking up to a bunch of rich on wall street and powerful insiders in washington. so, i'm opting out of that rule. i'm not taking a dime of pac money in this campaign. [cheers] warren! warren! warren! warren! warren!

>> there's more. [laughter] >> i'm not taking a single check from a federal lobbyist. i'm not taking applications from billionaires who want to run a super pac on my behalf and i challenge every other candidate who asks for your vote in this primary to say exactly the same thing. [cheers] so, it's not just elections. real democracy requires equal justice under law. it's not equal justice when a kid with an ounce of pot could get thrown in jail while a bank executive to launders money for a drug cartel can get a bonus.

[cheers] it's not equal justice when for the exact same crimes african-americans are more likely than whites to be arrested, more likely to be charged, more likely to be convicted and more likely to be sentenced. yes, we need criminal justice reform and we need it now. [cheers] and one more thing, we need to do to strengthen our democracy. we must not allow those with power to weaponize hatred and bigotry to divide us. [cheers] more than 50 years ago dr. martin luther king, jr. went to montgomery and warned us about

the danger of division. he talked about how bigotry and race-baiting are used to keep black americans divided from white americans so that rich americans can keep picking all their pockets that playbook has been around forever, whether it's white people against black people. straight people against gay people. middle class families against immigrant families the story is the same, the rich and powerful use fear to divide us. we're done with that. [cheers] bigotry has no place in the oval office. [cheers] this is who we are. we come from different backgrounds. different religions, different

languages, different experiences. we have different dreams. we are passionate about different issues and we feel the urgency of this moment in different ways, but today, today we come together ready to raise our voices together until this fight is won. [cheers] our movement won't be divided by our differences, it will be united by the values we share. [cheers] >> we all want a country where everyone, not just the wealthy, everyone can take care of their families. we all want a country where every american, not just the ones who hire armies of lobbyists and lawyers, everyone can participate in democracy.

a country where every child can dream big and reach for real opportunity, and we are in the fight to build an america that works for everyone. [cheers] so look, i get it. i get it. this won't be easy. now, there are a lot of people out there with money and power and armies of lobbyists and lawyers. people who are prepared to spend more money than you and i could ever dream of to stop us from making any of these solutions a reality. people who will say, it's extreme or radical to demand an america where every family has economic security and every kid has a real opportunity to succeed, and i say to them, get

ready because change is coming faster than you think. [cheers] [crowd chanting] >> yeah, look, it's kind of change will be hard. a lot of people, including some of our friends will tell us it's going to be so hard, it isn't worth trying, but we will not give up. i want to tell you one last story. so when i was home with my first baby got this notion that i would go to law school. now, it was a crazy idea, but i

persisted. persisted. [cheers] and it took me some time, but eventually i figured out the admissions test and the applications and i worked out how to pay my tuition and mapped out the 25 minute commute to the campus and weeks out, weeks out i had just one thing left on my checklist. child care. my daughter amelia was nearly two years old and i looked for child care. i looked everywhere. i struck out over and over and over. so we're down to the weekend before law school was supposed to start and i finally found this small place with a cheerful teacher and a nice little play area and nothing smelled funny and i could afford it, but the place would only take children who were dependably potty trained. so i looked over at amelia--

she was happily pulling toys off the shelves, her diaper barely covered by her pink stretchy pants. dependably potty trained. i now had five days to dependably potty train an almost two-year-old. all i can say is, i stand before you today courtesy of three bags of m & m's and a cooperative toddler. [cheers] and since that day, i've never let anyone tell me that anything is too hard. [cheers] now, how they have tried.

people said it would be too hard to build an agency that would stop big banks from cheating americans on mortgages and credit cards, but we got organized, we fought back, we persisted and now that consumer agency has forced these banks to refund nearly $12 billion directly to people they cheated. yes. [cheers] and when republicans tried to sabotage the agency i came back here to massachusetts and ran against one of them. no woman had ever won in senate seat in massachusetts and people said it would be too hard for me to get elected, but we got organized, we fought back, we persisted and now i am the senior senator from massachuset massachusetts. so, no, i am not afraid of a

fight, not even a hard fight. when the women of everett mills walked out from their machines and out into that cold january air all those years ago, they knew it wouldn't be easy, but they also knew what was at stake for themselves and their families, and they weren't going to let anyone tell them it was too hard. [cheers] doubters told the abolitionists, it's too hard. skeptics told the suffergettes it's too hard. and told the writers of the civil rights movement it's too hard, but they kept on going and they changed the history of

america. america. [cheers] and, sure, there will be plenty of doubters and cowards and arm-chair critics this time around, but we learned a long time ago, you don't get where you don't fight for. [cheers] we are in this fight for our lives, for our children, for our planet, for our future, and we will not turn back. [cheers] my daddy ended up as a janitor, but his little girl got the chance to be a public school teacher, a college professor, a united states senator, and a candidate for president of the

united states. [cheers] [cheers] warren! warren! i am greatful all the way to my bones, grateful and determined. so, here is the promise i make to you today. i will fight my heart out so that every kid in america can have the same opportunity i had, a fighting chance to build something real. i will never give up on you or on your children and their

future. i am in this fight all the way! [cheers and applause] warren! warren! >> okay. it's a long way to election day, but our fight starts here and it starts with every one of you. it starts with your decision to get involved right now. so join us on elizabethwarren.com, help us organize, volunteer, pitch in $5. we need everyone in this fight, everyone. [cheers and applause] protect the workers here in lawrence more than 100 years

ago, won their fight because they refused to be divided. today we gather on those same streets ready to stand united again. [cheers] this is our moment in history, the moment we are called to. this is our moment to dream big, fight hard, and win. thank you. [cheers and applause] >> wind chill of 19 degrees in lawrence, massachusetts on a chilly saturday afternoon. elizabeth warren block r clocking in at well over 40 minutes for her presidential announcement that began with a list of grievances, a rigged

system of the ult millionaires and billionaires who weren't making it fair for the little guy and coming in with a couple of aspirational themes, comparing the fight that she would take through the campaign to the fight against slavery, the fight against women's suffrage and the fight against civil rights or for civil rights. >> and her big theme, her big message. hour today enough is enough. she called the presidency, the current trump presidency and administration without a conscience and called on the new democratic house leadership to help solve the problems. rigged economy, to bring about social justice, women's empowerment, and even to solve climate change. >> and with that we bring in our intrepid reporter on the ground, molly line who has covered a number of these events in weather far colder than that. molly, thought on how this compares to rollouts of other

campaigns, the enthusiasm, the crowd, the optics? >> a pretty big crowd here and a beautiful sunny day in new england. as you mentioned, this was a cold day, but in the 20's and sunny, and in new england who knows what you're going to get. in a sense senator warren lucked out. a lot of winter coats and american flags. and the mantra that she's put out which she set here in lawrence for a specific reason. this is an old mill town, a town that really saw its heyday, more than a century ago and she talked about paying homage to the workers and also fighting for today's workers, for today's middle class. she referred to the president at the moeks extreme -- most extreme system. a product of the rigged system. and she talked a little about her family story about her

father being a janitor and she became a teacher, a professor and senior senator in massachusetts, talked about wages not rai raising and more equal for all in america not just the rich and wealthy. and it's something that you expect to hear a lot on out on the campaign trail and in iowa. >> we're glad we could hear you over the campaign song "respect", by aretha franklin. >> i will be glad to listen to that over and over again. no complaints about that. >> indeed. with that, the trump campaign just ahead of elizabeth warren's announcement issued this statement from campaign manager saying in part the american

people will reject her dishonest campaign ar socialist idea like the green new deal she talked about in her speech that will raise taxes. elizabeth warren talked about raising taxes. kill jobs and middle class and the statement left out some of the president's feelings as specifically towards elizabeth warren and his nickname to are her and we'll expect that in the next days and weeks if elizabeth warren rises in the polls. >> we want a temperature check how senator warren's announcement is received. we've got two superstars to weigh in, our political panel of democratic strategists robin, and jessica ehrlich-- good evening -- good afternoon to both of you. rob robin, you, first, what about the tone, aspirational or enough is enough, did she get the balance right between the two?

>> you know, she was really coming from behind here. this speech put her over the edge. >> i counted out her candidacy as of las week. and any democrats who announces and wanted a refund on what i donated to her. and she hit op-- on a lot of points that the democrats are voicing, and it was well-received. i'm not counting her out just yet. >> jessica, how about you? >> a tremendous amount of energy and we heard that from the crowd and she had a lot of openers, granted they're all big politicians from massachusetts, but you had big names there early on, senator markley, you had congressman kennedy, and i think there was a tremendous amount of energy and in her speech she spent a lot of time focusing on the issues that we're seeing across the board that are so important to voters

and americans, that is issues of social and economic justice and i think that's part of the platform that all the of the democrats so far, and seeing tomorrow, are hitting on. reaching out to the average, everyday american worker and voter. >> robin, do you think that outside of the liberal elite in massachusetts there, this message is going to cut the mustard? i'm talking about some of the more radical elements here when we talk about things like climate change being a sort of core eradication of climate change the new green deal being a core element of the platform. is that going to reach beyond massachusetts? >> gillian-- most certainly. >> robin, why don't you go first. >> i'm most concerned about that because a survey by pew research just showed that about 14% of democrats right now feel disaffected and two-thirds are lying somewhere in the middle right now, so, i think the base

needs to be convinced on this. some of these policies i would argue are arguably too far to the left and especially when you wush some of the more democratic socialist agendas, i think that doesn't bowed-- it didn't sit so well with your everyday average americans in the heartlands. >> those are the key words there, that the base has to be convinced. so, jessica, what are progressive dems like warren doing to convince the base? >> well, i think we'll see that as this entire presidential experience for the democratic party continues for the next two years. we've got so many candidates, the field is wide, but there's a lot of excitement. we have this diverse crowd. we have, you know, tomorrow will be senator klobuchar more of the midwestern and conservative, not conservative per se, but compared to the more liberal elizabeth warrenesque socialist policies. >> a little more moderate.

>> a could alition where it's g. there's nothing that's come out that's specific, it's a matter of this is where we need to go. i think that everyone who is freezing right now are people who have been sweating the last 2018 the hottest year on record according to nasa realize we've got to do something and having new jobs spurring the economy and carrying on this pop list message. that put president trump in the white house. we've seen them, including senator warren, speaking to the american voter, to working moms, to union members, to people across the country. >> we're out of time and we've got a hard break coming up. sorry to disrupt you. we've got to leave it there. we'll get you both back to keep talking about this. thanks for your perspective and for your time today.

>> thank you. >> coming up we're six days away from another possible government shutdown, but is congress any closer to making a deal on border security? plus, we'll talk to congressmen from both sides of the aisle right after the break.

>> top lawmakers are working on reaching a bipartisan border security deal now. they're striking an optimistic tone with less than a week left to avert another government shutdown. but will the president sign the deal that they come up with? joining us is new york congressman and co-chair of the problem solvers caucus, tim reed. thanks for your time and thanks for sitting through that elizabeth warren speech. we're so glad to have you. reporting out of capitol hill this week is that the president is set to accept now less than half of the $5 billions he originally wanted. that's a bitter pill to swallow. >> well, let's see where the

negotiations go, but i'm glad that they're at least talking, at least they're having conversations, but at the end of the day, this is up to congress. congress's leadership to get something done and 218 in the house and 60 in the senate i'm hopeful we can get something to the president with a signature. gillian: the onus is on congress. if you layout proposed solutions? what do you have in the pipe? >> i'll tell you, we came and worked very hard last year on an immigration proposal that dealt with the dreamers, those 1 million, 1.5 million kids that supposedly democrats care about. and did it combined with border security. speaking individually for myself i will tell you that everybody in d.c., democrats and republicans know what border security is, border barrier,

that means walls or structures. at the end of the day, they know it needs to happen and they're worried because of the extremism. and elizabeth warren, that's so extreme that i've heard and that's not the america i'm going to leave for my kids. this fight is on. gillian: what happens with the accoutrements that come with the walls, a bigger budget, boots on the ground and for-- >> no, when you have good faith discussions with democratic colleagues and get down into the weeds. we are talking about structures. 200 miles of barrier, but also talking about people at the border utalking about hardening our ports of entry and going after drugs and in a way that's smart. that's the combination of

everything and that's the sweetheart position that can get 218 votes and 60 votes and guys like me and practical guys that want to govern, that's where the deal is and should end and should have ended months ago. gillian: congressman tom reed, thank you again. >> thanks for having me on. leland: bringing in congressman dan kildee from the great state of michigan. as always, sir, appreciate it. is tom reed correct in the sense that there is now an appetite on the democratic side among moderates like yourself for something north of nancy pelosi's not one dollar? >> yeah, i mean, i think we're all committed to the process, and you know, i've said before, what comes out of this process might include some provisions that i don't agree with, but what i signed up for when i got elected to congress is a process that takes the disparate points of view, comes up with a compromise and allows the country to move forward and we fight another day for things

that we believe in. so like tom, i'm willing to take what the conference committee comes up with, and i'm willing to empower my democratic colleagues to give a little in order to move the country forward. leland: it's noticeable now, there is this big break within both parties, but specifically in the democratic party. you will someone who doesn't want to fund the wall or dhs at all and she said that in a tweet yesterday and guys like yourself. look, i'm happy to toss in a couple of billion dollars for walls, fences, et cetera. how difficult is that for your caucus right now? >> well, we have diverse points of view in our caucus and i'm-- obviously the republican i think we have to commit to this process. we have to, at the end of the day, be willing to govern. i think it's okay for people to have really strong points of view and it's okay that sometimes those points of view

are viewed sometimes as being far left or foreright, but still have to commit to the process. pardon me. leland: you were in a state of michigan where president trump won and a lot of working class folks and with combustion engines and who are going to be there come election 2020. >> each of us run in our districts and know us and understand how we operate. i don't take away from any of the people who are advocating really big ideas that they should pursue those. we have to try to get things done. leland: congressman, we're up against a hard break. we appreciate it. we'll be back, more reaction from elizabeth warren's announcement. release carbs to help manage blood sugar, and start making everyday progress. glucerna.

perhaps not realizing it's security. leland: another possible government shutdown, is a deal to give president trump money for his wall? ♪ ♪ leland: nice to be in the studio rather than out in the cold. it was about 20-degrees in massachusetts for elizabeth warren's announcement. i'm leland vittert. gillian: and i'm gillian turner, thanks for joining us. leland: speech lasted 40 minutes, lauren, massachusetts that's where we find molly who is on the ground and still braving the cold. you've moved to the shade, molly, is it chillier there? >> well, i didn't move, i think the sun moved unfortunately. i would love to stay in the

sunshine. elizabeth warren did get on stage and thanked to hear her big announcement, announced that she was running for the presidency of the united states and she did it here, historic mill town, the height of textile era a century ago, but now one of the poorest communities in massachusetts. also struggling among opioid epidemic. her aim today was to put onus to those workers of the past and fight for the middle class today for americans and getting a fair deal. >> today millions and millions and millions of american families are also struggling to survive in a system that's been rigged, rigged by the wealthy and the well-connected. >> interesting choice on the part of elizabeth warren. having been criticized before

governors as well as prosecutors as clearing house for illegal drugs, the city declared sanctuary city in 2015 and it's seen as though kind of in the political battleground, senator warren took swipe directly at the president. >> the man in the white house is not the cause of what is broken, he's just the latest and most extreme symptom of what's going wrong in america, a product of a rigged system that props up the rich and powerful and gives dirt on everyone else. >> criminal justice reform to equal justice, wall street,

climate change, medicare. corporations having too much power. that's something she talked about a lot. calling it the most corrupt and living memory. she said corrupting is cancer in democracy, anticorrupting legislation, real structural change in the way the government works and about changing the rules on how the government works and make it work to everyone, from here, new hampshire, iowa, 7-state organizing tour. she's officially out there on campaign trail among 2020 competitors fighting for the white house, leland. leland: the list continues to go, molly, spending time in massachusetts and even more in new hampshire in coming weeks and months, molly, thanks, elizabeth warren isn't the only 2020 hopeful makes moves this weekend. ohio governor sharod brown.

he said he hasn't made decision of 2020 just yet but the decision can come in march. meanwhile pete is in iowa today holding house party in johnson this morning, mayor announced presidential committee in january, new jersey senator cory booker in the early caucus state this afternoon, speaking at the rising leadership forum in des moines and making major announcement in minneapolis on sunday with many expecting minnesota senator announcement in 2020 presidential race, start there, serious flak for how she's treated some of her staff when she was the senator and then cory booker had the moment yesterday where he compared the fight against climate change with the fight against naziism and another more significant events in american history and he's had a lot of issues with that as well.

gillian: that's a good point. two years ago, right, elizabeth warren was the far left standout and now entering the field, littered with candidates that are younger, they are more progressive, more racially and ethically diverse than she is. so how is her team adjusting to this new field? for more insight let's bring in boston globe reporter james, james, what do you make of the speech? do you think she hit the right notes, do you think she struck the right tone, tell us? >> well, look, she clearly is arguing in the speech that she's the one coming up, she has a good biography, some of her biography has been questioned in the last week if not the couple of years with native american controversy but arguing that she's progressive and works hard. one thing that was omitted from the speech is the one thing that

democrats consistently are looking for, large field as you mentioned, democrats really care who is the most progressive or the generational changes, they want to know who will beat donald trump and the announcement speech today, she didn't address that at all. it was not very big, she had a pretty big election last time but it wasn't the biggest in the state in november and now people, democrats aren't bothered by the native american claims of ancestry but they are bothered what they consider tactical mistakes and what it means in run-up with donald trump. leland: democrats are worried about electability, at least the group of progressive democrats and i'm thinking the younger organizing group, the bernie

bros who are leaking for a home, they simply to be how progressive you are, radical you r how much you punch back, i haven't heard a lot of discussion among that group about electability as much as do i from donor class, mid middle of of the road members worried about electability issue. >> what you're grabbing onto is the idea that electability this time is totally not defined. from the bernie wing, we heard time and time again that bernie would have won and hillary did not. so i think the argument, what they can do, even if they are going to come at it from a more progressive or from the left side, they make argument as to whey they can appeal to more minority groups that can bring out turnout, julian castro, making the argument as latino

and someone who is trying to run from the left, elizabeth warren is not making any arguments beyond she will fight and consistently. leland: compare the fight today for civil rights, the fight for women suffrage and against slavery. stay warm and stay healthy, we appreciate your insight. >> thanks for having me. leland: good to see you, gillian. gillian: making hard turn now to foreign policy, wall street journal reporting the u.s. military is preparing to withdraw all troops in syria by the end of april. top military officials and u.s. allies in syria have voiced concern that this could spark resurgence of isis in the region. let's bring in retired four-star general general jack keane. general, we are getting two competing narratives about isis right now. right now they have hardly any territory left inside syria but on the other hand we are hearing they are regrouping maybe faster

than ever in iraq and poised for a big resurgence, which of these is the overwriting truth here? >> we had tendency to underestimate al-qaeda and isis all the way back to 90's and we are doing it here, this is an organization, the fastest growing terrorist organization in the history of the world. they sent from several hundred fighters to almost 40,000. they have been preparing for some time what i call the phase 2, they knew they were going to lose the territory when the united states committed to take it away from them. for some time now, they've been organizing and preparing to put their efforts into a terrorist network in iraq, 15 assassinations a month right now in iraq, multiple episodes of vehicle bombing and suicide bombing on a regular basis and they are preparing for that in syria. close to 30,000 of them left

because they could not fight in mosul oh -- or raqqah, many were killed but preserved forces, half. gillian: 30,000 isis fighters left, is now the time to withdraw u.s. forces, to get everybody out of there by mid-march, maybe april? >> absolutely not. the issue certainly are that isis will operate in eastern syria, they will certainly try to take control of the oil fields that are in eastern syria, they will gain control of the oil fields, 70% of the oil in syria is in eastern syria. we pull away, we give that to them, and iranians will also influence that and that is a huge mistake. the fact is that isis, to tamp them down, we have to put pressure on them just like we are doing against the al-qaeda,

gillian, in yemen, against al-qaeda in eastern africa, as we are doing in libya right now with several hundred of our fighters there keeping the pressure on. this is about keeping the pressure. gillian: how do you square that with president trump's decision to withdraw american troops from syria? >> well, i don't agree with that decision. gillian: you don't? >> no, not at all. i don't -- what it'll do is permit isis to resurge in 6 months to 12 months, worst case and also begin to retake territory. and who is saying that? none other than the commander of our forces and central command general. gillian: general who said during testimony last week that president trump and no one from the white house had consulted with him in advance about the decision to withdraw from syria, so if the president is not listening to his top tier

generals who are on the ground, who is he listening to about these issues? >> he probably new general's position, i will give him credit for that. the president also said he wants to condition withdrawal on one protecting and we haven't put in place buffer zone, that's critical, two, making certain that isis does not reemerge and three, not permitting the iranians to get the oil field. what is really crucial in my mind, gillian, is not the 2200, we can probably reduce forces, those are the numbers of forces we have in eastern syria. we can probably cut that back, what's really crucial is the control of air space in eastern syria and that doesn't require a lot of people on the ground to do it but it requires some because it's not going to be effective, you can't direct it from the ground. gillian: hopefully the military will hope those air forces in place, the air defenses that are there now, maybe they will add

more. >> u.s. air power and british air power, decision bombing directed from the ground. gillian: general, thank you as always for your strategic analysis today, you always make us smarter. >> good talking to you, gillian. leland: less than a week away from government shutdown unless negotiators come up with border security deal, centrist from both sides of the aisle, you heard last hour, say there are options but the president's willingness to -- >> that is going to happen, step 2, is having a deal that president trump will actually sign and there's still a lot of uncertainty and that's because no matter what deal that they come up with, it would not include $5.7 billion for physical barrier that the president has been demanding,

instead we are told the number will likely be less than half of that, somewhere 1.3 billion and possible tapping out at 1.6 billion with part of that to barrier. in ebbing change democrats want to add restrictions on how the number can be spent and limit the number of beds under jurisdiction of ice, here is house minority leader kevin mccarthy talking about negotiations on friday. >> i can't say what the president will and will not do but in my conversations with the president, i know he wants to fund legislative solution. he wants his work on this and i have heard some positive talk, i have not seen reactions on the democratic side. >> the white house isn't entirely convinced that congress is much closer to a deal that the president can support. >> i wouldn't say that, our staff here are in constant contact with committee, we expect them to do their jobs and put forth a package that protects the american people, keeps the government open and fun it it at responsible level.

it's all time crunch at this point and have to come to a solution that actually does what they promised that they would do which is promise the american people, we expect no less. >> acting chief of staff mick mulvaney is holding retreat in camp david, we are told border security negotiations will not be focus of discussion but they will certainly come up, leland. leland: mick mulvaney on fox news sunday, chris wallace will ask him about that tomorrow. garrett tenny, thank you. we bring former press secretary to vice president pence, mark, good to see you. rule number one of trumpism he declares victory no matter what happens almost. how much money does he need for fencing, barriers, something that looks big on southern bord tore declare victory? >> any funding that provides structure is -- leland:

anything? >> we need to look beyond negotiation and this one budget. they'll be other budgets, other bills for him to continue to expand that, if this is a down payment according to what we are seeing on compromise committee, then you take that and you get started and you go back for more later. leland: mather -- master negotiator only gets down payment? >> we will see how it comes out. leland: he will not get 25 billion for the wall. we know the compromise will not give that. >> he's asked for 5.7. leland: okay. >> even if we take a portion to that and agrees to that and obviously we will let the white house negotiate and speak officially on that, but if he accepts something, he still has other options available to him to continue construction in whether it's future negotiations. leland: opening the possibility for the white house that they are going to take the money from congress and declare national emergency? >> i'm not saying that. i'm saying he still has options

and future options. don't underestimate his ability to get this done. >> do you worry that he will have to explain why there's not the wall he promised and méxico is not paying for it? >> we need more people, more republicans in the united states senate and more republicans in the house so we can get it done. one of the reasons the house never did it because you weren't going to get 8 or 9 votes in the senate. leland: house republicans couldn't agree on things anyway. >> you also had to acknowledge it wouldn't get passed in the senate. strong campaign platform for him to say that we need to continue strong republican leaders in congress. leland: as you're watching the 2020 field sort of shape up, we are seeing the beginning of opening statements, we saw elizabeth warren for 40-plus minutes in massachusetts, fair to say that the further left of

the field though the better it is for president trump? >> i think it's the farther left they go the more they will alienate the middle. there's so many people, even those independent or just left of center who are not going to get on board with socialism and what we have seen so far, each one of the candidates is trying to race each other to be extreme left to radical ideas that are not in line with what the american people want. the president is going to have to result in success he can campaign on versus socialism taking away your health care, those kinds of things, it's not going to resinate with the american people. leland: those are the battle lines, socialism saying that the left wants late-term abortion, what's the third? >> the economy, keep it going. i mean, one of the strongest, one of the strongest economies we've had in recent memory, why would you want to go back, paychecks are going up and jobs are going up and each month companies that are adding hundreds of thousands of jobs to the country.

leland: fair to say that the different narrative that you hear from elizabeth warren in the stump, debate over the next couple of years, mark, appreciate it on a saturday, gillian. gillian: coming up calls for virginia's lieutenant governor to resign are growing as sec woman has come forward with accusations against him, ellison barber in virginia, ellison. >> yes, gillian, calls for lieutenant governor are increasing here and also appearing now from the governor for the first time since racist photo, more in just a minute. if you're 65 or older, even if you're healthy,

perhaps why he initially took credit for being in it so he also reiterated his claim that he's not the person in that racist yearbook photo, he claims that he will spend the next 3 years of term pursuing equity, the governor of -- told washington post, health care, capital, entrepreneurship and this is awakening, racial issues in virginia and so we are ready to learn from our mistakes. now whether or not the rest of virginia is open to that or going to be excited for that remains to be seen but everyone we have spoken to has by in large believe that governor northam needs to resign, he's saying that he's not going to do that. all of this as the democratic party of sa va officially called on lieutenant governor to step down and resign, they say that they do not believe he can fulfill duties and consider the

allegations of sexual assault against him to be incredibly credible in statement they said this, quote, lieutenant governor deserves due process in this matter. it's in the best interest of the common wealth that he goes through the process as a private citizen. two women have accused lieutenant governor of two different sexual assaults, one says that he forced her to perform oral sex on him in hotel during dnc convention, the other said she was raped by the now lieutenant governor in 2000 and they were both students at duke university. a number of high-profile democrats have come out for lieutenant governor to resign after the second women came forward, if lieutenant governor fails to step down by monday, he will introduce articles of impeachment. >> impeachment shall be for high crime or misdemeanor. there's no question that violent sexual assault clearly qualifies as a high crime.

>> we need to listen to the women, we do need to listen to all sides and we need let due process play out. >> you heard the second person, amanda, republican, the republicans we have spoken to today here in virginia, they aren't calling on the lieutenant governor to resign just yet, they are saying that they believe in investigation needs to take place. gillian. gillian: tireless coverage of the scandal yesterday to the night, ellison, thank you. leland: director of the university of virginia senator for politics, larry, who would have thought that it would be the republican republicans coming to the aid of lieutenant governor for accusations of sexual assault. >> yeah, i don't know that they are coming to his aid. i think they know that in all probability his days are numbered. perhaps not pile on, i think

that's okay but, you know, this is very serious. leland: you have a number of top democrats, a number of top democrats who are running for president saying he needs to resign and republicans saying, wait a second, let's have some due process here and an investigation before we demand the guy's resignation when we know so little about the accusations against him. that's something. >> yeah, that's true, although more is emerging about the stories that those women have told and we are starting to hear corroboration, look, all 19 democrats have told fairfax to resign. everybody is lawyered up. that's the way we do things. there will be i assume some kind of investigation but i think it's going to be difficult, very difficult for fairfax to survive, last week we didn't think that northam could possibly survive and there he is in the governor's mansion.

leland: here he is and the list of people to call for him to resign, 14, 15 hours, maybe 20 hours into the scandal far more significant. go ahead and take a look at the picture of the people who called on fairfax, do we have the ones for northam, i guess not, whose who of everybody in politics. there it is, booker, schumer, warren, pelosi calling on northam to resign, that was last week. this is what he said, larry, in his interview with the washington post just a couple of minutes ago, i overreacted talking about sending out the statement of apology on friday night, if i had to do it over again i would step back and take a deep breathe. isn't that what governors are hired for, their judgment in crises and that's what they're elected for, they're temperament and this guy is admitting that he so overreacted by the

situation that he couldn't think to himself, gee, i might want to figure out if i'm the guy wearing black face or ku kluz klan outfit before apologizing? >> that question has risen in my own mind and i suspect in most virginians' minds. this involves him. he should have had an immediate reaction and immediate knowledge of whether he had ever been in a photo like that or been sitting next to a guy in a kkk outfit or in black face, one or the other or in the kkk outfit, whatever it was, there's no good explanation for it. i guess it's good to be the king even if all the subjects want you out of office and he has nobody left. washington post report that was just released, this is incredible, this is incredible, leland, he's talking about devoting the rest of his term to

rake ill equity and he says his staff has given him -- leland: i'm going to cut you off before the computer does. the article on washingtonpost.com. we appreciate you, my friend, we will be rightul back. cause bloating, cramping, gas, or sudden urgency. to enjoy the things i love, i choose #1 doctor-recommended miralax. miralax. look for the pink cap. to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is your eligibility for a va loan. which lets you buy a home with no down payment. now there's no reason to rent when you can own. with automatic authority from the va,

gillian: congresswoman is calling president trump on twitter over plan for border wall and going after the department of homeland security. david has the latest on both, david. >> we have seen democrats calling for funding of immigration and custom enforcement ice but congresswoman is taking it to new level. she wants to completely see the department of homeland security vanish when it comes to funding. she tweeted, quote, when democrats stood our ground, we proved that individual one has not have the public support to ram his hateful wall through congress, let's stand firm, #not one dollar for dhs.

the department of homeland security is includes secret service, fema and the csa, the most recent tweet after tweet about the dsa and federal workers not getting back pay, she tweeted, i'm hearing from tsa workers back in minnesota who still haven't received back pay after the shutdown, all workers affect bid the shutdown including contractors deserve back pay, omar and other members of congress held rally in front of capitol aimed at defunding ice and she said this about president trump. >> we know, we know that he has a muslim ban, we know that he's not -- he's not interested in having families reunifying legally. >> omar has put out other controversial tweets in the last few weeks and questioned u.s. relationship with israel and lindsey graham of south carolina is compromising in some way,

house minority leader kevin mccarthy was asked about omar's various tweets and comment from congresswoman where she's calling president trump a profanity. democratic leadership is not taking appropriate action. >> if they do not take action i think you'll see action from myself, but this cannot sustain themselves. it's unacceptable in the country. >> leader mccarthy did not expand on what he will do. >> david, thank you. leland: how does senator elizabeth warren change the 2020 field, what opportunities for president trump, we will break it down.

gillian: back to top story, massachusetts senator elizabeth warren adding her name to growing list of democrats running for president in 2020.

president trump's campaign already talking about warren saying, quote, the american people will reject dishonest campaign and socialist ideas like the green new deal that will raise taxes, kill jobs and crush america's middle class. here to weigh a team, doug and democratic con aimp con summittant and mr. david, chairman of go pac and gop strategists. gentlemen, thanks for joining me this afternoon. >> sure. gillian: doug, are democrats going to reject quote, unquote socialist ideas like president trump says they will, i think that's the big question? >> yeah, and i don't that that will be the issue for the democrats, certainly gillian as far as the electorate is concerned, very much up in the air whether people want 70% taxes on earned income, whether they want a wealth tax that she's proposed, whether the identity politics she's

practiced in the past will go undiscovered. those are all general election issues but there's a desire for more socialist-style politics if not socialism and i think that it's very real question -- gillian: keep in mind, doug, sorry to interrupt, keep in mind she will have to win over, once she get past primaries she will have to win over american voters in rust belt states like ohio and pennsylvania, you can't try and tell us that they're looking for more socialist policies right now? >> i was trying to say the opposite. i apologize i wasn't clear. i think those kinds of voters, the swing-working-class voters will gentlemen ject the -- reject policies that elizabeth warren stands more even though in democratic primary the narrow segment participate, they will find some degree of popular appeal. gillian: david, do you think she will make moves to bring in the

more moderate members of her party and maybe some sort of left-leaning republicans? >> no. and the vast news for elizabeth warren is and you fill out the paperwork she runs for president trump you don't have to put ethnicity. she wants to worry about whether to put native american or not, elizabeth warren isn't going to make it to the finish line let alone the starting line, you look at these early presidential candidates, she's not raising as much money and, yes, she's getting a lot of attention but there's plenty of kentucky derby favorites who never even run the race, elizabeth warren will be one -- california is far bigger factor than a state like potentially

now new hampshire is going to be, you know, if kamala harris or amy klobechaur can get victory in iowa and south carolina, propels them way past elizabeth warren. gillian: doug, what did you make of her message a while ago, you either go with aspirational or you can go with enough is enough which is what she did? >> right, i think her message is enough is enough, we've got to go hard left and i agree with david, i don't believe giving her announcement today and the positioning she's taken as well as the controversy over her ethnicity that she's first-year candidate. she might have been four years ago, that's ancient history, but right now i think she's in the middle of the pack and is trying to distinguish herself so far without enormous success.

gillian: david, so this controversy surrounding her heritage, it's something that, you know, our mutual friend leland vittert likes to call unforced error, do you think it's early enough she can outrun the issue as 2020, you know, moves into full gear? >> not with the platform she's running on. as we think about these budget negotiations which are apparently going to go in the right direction, if elizabeth warren's green deal passes, we will need a border to keep americans in as they have to leave the u.s. to go to méxico or canada to be able to get a flight. if you want to work in fossil fuel, coal, you will have to leave america to get a job. this green deal would be disastrous for the u.s. economy and this now is one of her platforms in running for president. it makes her not credible. gillian: we have 5 seconds, doug, i want you to tell me if the green deal is mote --

motivator or all around their necks? >> it's a motivator in primary and lasso around their neck in the general election. gillian: gentlemen, thanks as always. leland: doug got in in 5 seconds. mourners of police officer killed in line of duty, shot while serving search warrant. life was honored during the service. >> that's who he was, this is the guy that spent his entire adult life, picked up a weapon, went on a patrol, didn't matter, he was the guy that wanted to stand up against the evil to protect us, that takes a special human being. not everybody is that strong, has that kind of courage. leland: he died at 35, a 17-year

steven greenberg. so many different issues to break down in this story. it's hat everything, sex, money, blackmail, photos. in the end it may have somebody going to jail here, not a typical blackmail case or extortion case, taking the facts at face value, what we know american media, is there a chance any employees could end up in jail in. >> absolutely, good chance that they will end up in jail, classic extortion, publish photos of you, publish these text messages unless you do something, the question on extortion is if one threatens you and says you have to give me something in value, something of value and then i won't publish the threat, i won't do whatever i'm threatening to do and that's exactly what we have here, i can't believe that they were dumb enough to do this after

they got their immunity agreement and dumb enough to put it in writing. leland: the pudding in the writing one has to worry about, amazon has put in writing that they believe in their words that they have acted lawfully throughout this process. still unclear, though, how the national inquirer got the pictures in the first place and it brings up an interesting point, bezos has basically said i'm willing to spend unlimited funds of which he has a lot to find out who it is, but he is not sued the inquirer for breech of privacy, there's no lawsuit in the way hulk hogan went after and no defamation claims by bezos, he's willing to try this in the media rather than courts, what do you make of cincinnati. >> i think what he wanted to do initially is how the stuff got leaked. personal and private emails and text messages, how did they get out into the public domain and
