8:00 am
saved my life. what we do here at dana-faber, changes lives everywhere. everywhere. everywhere. everywhere. everywhere. this sunday the impeachment fight with the house ready to drop charges against president trump. >> we see a violation of the constitution, we have no choice but to ask. >> the president's supporters. >> we won't let the democrats in t house destroy this president in a sham process. >> and the president -- >> these are the facts of the case closed, game over, turn off the television. >> attack the process as illegitimate and hoping to encourage the swing district democrats to vote no on impeachment. i will talk to democratic senator and presidential hopeful
8:01 am
amy klobuchar and republican senator john kennedy of louisiana. and also, in the presidential race, elizabeth warren's numbers are dropping sharply. >> i am out here working on behalf of the american families. >> pete buttigieg is on the rides, but facing skepticism of the african-american voters. >> i am conscious of the advanta advantages and the privileges that i have had and the advantages of being white and male. >> and we will have more on the democratic field that is no closer to sorting itself out. and john kerry and arnold schwarzenegger are on a world war zero which is to spark the conversation of the catastrophic effect of global warming. and i will speak to kerry and schwarzenegger this morning. joining us for analysis is david brooks, and maria teresa kumar and republican strategist al cardenas and betsy woodruff swan of the "daily beast." if it is sunday, it is "meet the
8:02 am
press." the longest running show in television history, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. good sunday morning. i hope you have been enjoying your thanksgiving weekend. with the house judiciary committee beginning the for mall process of drawing up charges against the president, the white house faces a new deadline. committee member jerrold nadler has given president trump and the lawyers until 5:00 p.m. friday to take part at all. and the president has called it a scam and a sham and a hoax, and the republican strategy is to focus on the impeachment process and delegitimize it and scare other democrats from voting for impeachment. delegitimizing the process is makes it easier for senators like john kennedy from louisiana perhaps to vote to acquit the president in an impeachment trial. the republicans are quick to point out that weeks of impeachment hearings have not increased the public's appetite for impeachment and while that
8:03 am
is true, it is hard to argue that having roughly 50% of the voters wanting you removed from the office immediately is where any president wants to be at all. and so to use a football term, the republicans have beaten the spread on the political fallout of this, but they are a long way away from winning the game. >> i said to the president, if you have any information that is exculpatory, please bring it forth. >> reporter: with the next hearing scheduled wednesday and new report nag the president knew about a whistle-blower complaint before he release aid to ukraine, president trump and the allies are attempting to turn up the political pressure on democrats. >> you see what is happening in the polls? everybody said that's really bull [ bleep ] >> reporter: and the republican groups have spent $7 million of ads against impeachment compared to $2.8 million on pro impeachment ads for democratic groups and almost entirely spent by tom steyer and mostly in
8:04 am
support of his own cam pair. much of the money is targeting democratic members in swing districts. >> it is a politically motivated charade, and they promised to be are different, but they are not. >> reporter: so far the public opinion is split along the part san lines. in a cnn poll, 50% of adults support impeachment and 43% do not and numbers unchanged from a month ago. and quinnipiac has similar numbers 45% of voters think that president should be impeached and 43% say he should not and little change from october. and only 13% of voters said they might change their minds but that is a critical slice of the electorate, and the democratic voters are looking at how the later this month vote on impeachment. >> there is no question. >> i did not run for this seat to impeach the president. and go back to check my 18 months of running for the office. there is nothing in there about
8:05 am
it. >> it is not why i ran. >> and republicans in toss-up senate seats are weary of weighing in. protesters gathered at all six of senator collins' offices in maine tuesday. >> just as you would not want a juror to go into the case prejudging it and not being familiar with all of the evidence, i feel very strongly about that. >> reporter: a senate trial could also scramble the 2020 calendar and requiring the six senators to run for president to return to washington after the holidays. >> we will take it on and we have no choice, and how long we will be on it is going to be determined by the house. >> reporter: and the candidates are not enthusiastic about campaigning on it. >> the question is not first and foremost what about impeachment. >> our voters are not impacted by who is sitting in the white house. >> any time we are talking about donald trump or impeachment, we are not creating a positive
8:06 am
vision for the country. and joining me is presidential candidate amy klobuchar, and welcome to "meet the press." >> and thank you, chuck, for having me on. >> and so you may be taking a little break from the senate trial coming up, and what role does public opinion make for you, and we are at a stalemate. regardless of the facts, we are at a public opinion stalemate, and what role should that make in this? >> the first obligation is a constitutional one. we have no choice. this is something that the founding fathers themselves, and james madison said that the reason that we need impeachment provisions is that he was afraid that the president would betrust the american people to a foreign power and that is why it is proceeding. i see it as a global watergate. back then you had a president in richard nixon paranoid and he
8:07 am
delegated to some people to go break into the headquarters and get into a file cabinet to get dirt on the political opponent, and that is what this president has done on a global basis. yes, it is a public trial, and the public will be able to see more and will be able to reach their own decisions, but in the end, it is our constitutional obligation, and i can do two things at once. >> i want to show you a quote from a member of congress in michigan and brenda lawrence said this, we are so close to the election and i will tell you that sitting here seeing how divided the country is i don't see the value of taking him out of office, but i see the value of putting down a marker of saying it is not acceptable. that is one way of looking at the american people, and they are listening to everything and torn on the election as opposed to this, and they are split in this and you have a democratic member in your own state who didn't go through the procedure, and he is from a trump district. is that what you hear?
8:08 am
>> let me talk about how i see this. yes, it is a legal impeachment proceeding and it could result in him being thrown out of office, and that is true, but i see it as part of a bigger pattern, and the pattern is this. he betrays the trust of the american people and he puts his private interest and the business interests and the partisan political interests in front of the country and that is what you get. that is why you see him going tout rally for the opponents in louisiana and kentucky and the democrats won. and we have a new democratic governor in kentucky, and that is because the people said, you know what, he has betrayed us on health care and we have not been able to get the health care that we want. >> do you fear though what he could do, and how he would interpret a senate acquittal? >> i have no idea what he will do. all i know is that we have an obligation to the country to lead and have this proceeding be conducted fairly which i believe it has and all in public in the
8:09 am
last week, and people got to see people like lieutenant colonel vindman who made the point to his dad, hey, this is a country where you can tell the truth. the importance is that it is fair and that we get a result. >> the republicans have poured millions of dollars into the swing districts with an anti-impeachment message. and the democrats have not countered and i understand why they haven't, because they don't want to look like they are politicizing the process, and yet, what is happening? it is asymmetrical warfare and you are losing the public political opinion. and so should the hindsight is 20/20 and the democrats making a mistake not keeping up with the paid media? >> it is too early, chuck. i look at what just happened taking back the virginia state house and senate because of all of this. the voters were look at, that yes, it is a patriotism check and values check and there are people who don't want to watch the president on tv anymore and
8:10 am
they have to turn the volume down on to tv. and it is also an economic check. and so when i went on the blue wall tour to places like michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin and talked to citizens who had maybe voted for him before and they said enough. he has not come through for us. and our prescription drug costs are skyrocketing and what has he done? he is whining on tv all of the time. >> and let me talk about your race. it seems as if everybody is focused on everybody's flaws and the reason that none of you can unite the democrat party and you have this or that candidate has that and it is only a focus on the words and is this damaging long ferterm? >> we will come together. it is not like the republican where he says jump and they ask how high, and the pemperor has o clothes. so i am the candidate who has said from the beginning that we will have to unite our rivers in
8:11 am
the divide. i am the candidate who said that i don't want to be the president for half of america but all of america. i have set a clear path that we will have divides, but i am where the people are, and that means that i have big bold ideas and nobody has a monopoly on the ideas, but i am the one who will unite the party. >> what is the criticism that has resonated and that is fair and i'm trying to change? >> well, i think that it is always nice to get in more money, and we have. they are always saying that you have not raised as much money as these other guys. well, i am not as well known. since the last debate, we have taken over $2 million in on one instance online from regular people in six days, so we are expanding, and opening more offices in iowa and opening more offices and adding staff in new hampshire and in the other early states, because the momentum son our side. i won't ever be able to compete with two billionaires, true. i won't be able to buy the $30
8:12 am
million ad buy. >> and you seem cheekingly insulted by bloomberg. and this is your space and you are saying, if biden falters and hey, you, you are getting in my space, and that what you sounded like. >> well, it is more about money in the politics for me. i have admiration for the work he has done, but i don't buy that you get in because everybody else sucks. i don't. i think that we have strong candidates and the polling or the numbers don't show that they are dissatisfied with the candidates, but they are trying to pick the right one, and i am saying it is me. i am from the beginning to set the path and tell the people the truth, no we won't give free college to everyone, but we will match the economy with the jobs and the education system that we have. i'm the one who is the only one on the stage that didn't get on that bill for kicking people off of their current health insurance in four years. >> michael bloomberg, if he does not qualify and if you don't
8:13 am
ever get to debate him, and he ends up winning a nomination -- >> that can't happen. i mean, he has to debate people, and he has to get out there. and i did not see him out there in the middle of the snowstorm three days ago in iowa. i was out there, and people turned out. people turned out in big numbers wherever we went. and that is because we have early states so that the people can meet the candidates and they are able to make a good decision. it cannot be all about money or the rich people would be winning and running in every senate spot in every state. >> any chance that you would vote to acquit? >> i can't see that right now, but i am someone who will look at each count and look at it. i have said from the beginning that i see it as impeachable conduct. >> amy klobuchar, thank you. and sorry about the university of minnesota yesterday. >> okay. the rose bowl was in our reach and we will see. >> row the boat. stay safe on the trail.
8:14 am
and joining me now is republican senator john kennedy of louisiana who also happens to sit on the judiciary committee. and senator kennedy, welcome back to "meet the press." >> thank you, chuck. >> you appeared on a show last sunday and you walked back a comment that you made there, and can you explain what you misstated and what you wanted to fix, what part of the record that you wanted to correct. >> sure. i walked it back because i was wrong. >> about what? >> chris wallace was -- sorry? >> about what? what were you wrong about? >> well, chris wallace was interviewing me, and he asked me a question and i answered it. i thought that he had asked me if you crane had meddled in the 2016 election, and he hadn't. he asked me if ukraine was responsible for hacking the
8:15 am
server and i looked back at the transcript and saw that chris was right and i was wrong, so i said that i was wrong. >> the issue of conflating what russia and ukraine has done has been at the heart of what you have received. michael gerson is a columnist, and he said that politicians such as kennedy must know about the truth about of the russian aggression. but still they choose to suck up to the president by reflections and they have for given all loyal tis, to truth, to honesty and to the nation, and kennedy is simply loyal to the president. and conflating the ukraine and russia, and that you are doing the president's dirty work here. do you accept that criticism? >> listen. i like michael gerson. i have not met him, but i know
8:16 am
he is a smart guy and i read his columns now and again. i disagree with him. i think both russia and ukraine mettled in the 2016 election. i think it is well documented in the financial times, in politico, in the economist, in the washington examiner, and even on cbs that the prime minister of ukraine, the interior minister, the ukrainian ambassador to the united states, the head of the ukrainian anti-corruption league all meddled in the election on social media and otherwise. they worked with the dnc operative against the president. and in fact, may i make one more point, chuck. >> sure. >> and in fact, in december of 2018, a ukrainian court ruled that ukrainian officials had violated ukrainian law by
8:17 am
meddling in our election, and that was reported in "the new york times." now is there meddling -- sorry. >> no, no. were you grieved by the intelligence according to "the new york times" a couple of weeks ago that you and other senators were briefed after the fiona hill testimony that framing the meddling of the ukrainian officials that this is an effort of the russian propaganda and a russian intelligence propaganda campaign in order to get people like you to say these things about ukraine, and they are trying to frame ukraine. you apparently were briefed about this in the united states senate by intelligence officials. are you at all concerned that you are doing russian intelligence work here? >> i was not briefed. >> you did not attend the briefing? >> no. >> okay. >> and i was not briefed.
8:18 am
dr. hill is entitled to her opinion. but when the "economist" magazine -- >> when is opinion become fact, and 17 intelligence services saying this, and every russian ally saying this, and i am confused, at what point is it no longer an opinion for you? >> i don't think it is an opinion, and i think it is a fact that i believe the reporting by the "politico" magazine. >> you just said that fiona hill gave an opinion. >> i believe that the reporting by the "financial times" and i believe the reporting by "washington examiner" and you should read the articles, chuck, because they are well documented and the ukrainian district court in 2018 slapped down several ukrainian officials for meddling in our elections as a violation of the ukrainian law.
8:19 am
now, i did not report those fact, and reputable journalists reported those facts, and does that mean that the ukrainian leaders were more aggressive than russia? no. russia was much more aggressive and much more sophisticated, but the fact that russia was so aggressive does not exclude the fact that president poroshenko actively worked for secretary clinton. now if i am wrong and all of the journalists are wrong -- >> my goodness. wait a second, senator kennedy, you have the president of ukraine saying that he actively worked for the democratic nominee for president. and come on. you have to put up and you realize that the only other person selling this argument outside of the united states is vladimir putin, and this is what he said on november 20th. thank god nobody is accusing us anymore of interfering in u.s. elections and they are accusing ukraine. and you have just accused the president of ukraine and you are doing just what the russian
8:20 am
president has wanted american politicians to do. and are you at all concerned that you have been duped? >> no. just read the articles. do you believe the "economist" magazine as a reputable journal been around since 1843 and do you believe -- >> do you believe that criticizing a presidential candidate who essentially endorsed another country's invasion and annexation of a part of the country as equivalent to what russia did with the dnc? >> well, let me put this way, chuck. let's suppose and i don't believe it, but you are right, and i'm wrong. then what harm would it do to allow the president of the united states who has a demonstrated record fighting foreign corruption to introduce evidence? >> why doesn't he? >> what harm would it do? that is called -- >> he has been provided every opportunity to provide exculpatory evidence on any of this and they have chosen not
8:21 am
to. >> no, he hasn't. no, he hasn't. >> yes, he has. >> no, rounds one and two by speaker pelosi and the chairman schiff are as rigged as a carnival ring toss, and we both know that. if i were a prosecutor and i were prosecuting you for a felony and i went to the federal judge and i said, we both know that chuck is guilty, so let me call the witnesses and give me an order that he cannot call witnesses or cross-examine my witnesses or offer rebuttal evidence or have a lawyer there, and you know what the federal judge would do? he would put me in handcuffs or a straitjacket, because i would be sanctioned. and that is what has happened here. >> senator, this white house has not cooperated on any oversight at all, and have they not brought some of this on themselves? >> have they allowed the president to call his own witnesses? no. have they allowed him to have his lawyer present?
8:22 am
no. have they offered to have him allow rebuttal evidence? no. have they offered to allow him to cross-examine the witnesses hand-picked by pelosi? no. now, whether you like the president or not, we both agree with due process, and nobody is above the law, but nobody is beneath the law, and the bill of rights is not an a la carte menu. it is not. >> we will leave it there, senator kennedy, republican from louisiana and you guys didn't get tripped up, and lsu is clear sailing for next week, but don't blow it. don't blow it and mess up the whole system there. >> we won't. we won't. >> thank you for coming on. >> good to see you, my friend. >> and the republicans insist they are

8:25 am
bet city woodriffe swan of the daily beast and david brooks, new york columnist. well, david, we just got an example here. we look at the, i mean, we're having an asymmetrical argument. democrats are trying to have a conversation about what the president did and republicans are having a completely different conversation. as we couldn't even agree on the same set of facts. >> i sort of think the democrats should either hold us up or go big. hold this up means we will impeach them. send it to the senate, get it done as quickly as possible. going big with saying this is not a trial, a political process. the jury is in four states in the mid-west. we will 'get local people to try to explain to the people in those four states why this matters to them and ship whole numbers. those are the two options. i think they should hold it up. it's completely unmovable on this. >> you know, betsy, this is not a split decision organically. the republicans spent millions
8:26 am
to get this split decision. >> and house democrat you can leadership is cognizant of the fact based on the leadership aid i had yesterday that they don't expect getting more than the mid-50s in terms of support for impeachment. they see this as sort of permanently bifurcated and not as an issue where they can practiceing that 60% number. from talking with a handful of hill aides yesterday on this topic. one thing i heard a lot of times is big concern for vulnerable freshmen is not so much they will be tarred with an impeachment but the argument against them will be that they only supported impeachment. >> that they didn't get other things done all the way and across the line. >> this is what made pelosi getting nafta 2.0. i have heard it was -- it wasn't the deal, it was sort of implied, look, i'll get this done, don't worry. >> exactly right. they need to demonstrate their whole business, their whole charge is not being consumed specifically because of
8:27 am
impeachment but they are doing the people's business. i think amy klobuchar laid it out, the country needs to have a massive civic ed engagement, education, explaining to people why do they have to do the impeachment? because it is basically designated to them by the constitution n. explaining that, you say you do not want to set precedent if this president gets away with this, the next president could be a democrat that does the same thing. they have to continue down this road and demonstrate they are doing the people's business. >> while i see that as a paralysis short-term strategy for the republicans. it's not like his numbers are getting better in the big picture. he's still under water. a terrible re-election campaign effort. >> true, but his numbers haven't gone worse like with richard nixon. i think timing has a lot to do with this happy belated thanksgiving, between thanksgiving and christmas i know i for a fact don't want to get angry at people, impeachment for democrats to move between
8:28 am
impeachment needle, they've got to get people angrier than they are today. especially in the center in america. that's not happening. i also see evolution. you know, we don't see right and wrong the same way we did in the '70s with richard nixon. america has evolved in its right or wrong philosophy. look, i think what president trump is ostensibly being accused of is more serious than richard nixon. richard nixon's numbers tumbled to the point where he couldn't sustain the presidency so he quit. i don't see the democrats gaining from this unless somehow some way they are able move the political needle as well as a few republican votes. >> david, he said something about going big. al reminded me of something. you know something big that happened this week is somebody with conviction said i'm not sticking by this president anymore, i'm going to resign. the former navy secretary
8:29 am
richard spencer over the president's involvement in this navy seal war crimes case, this was shocking and unprecedented, he wrote, intervention in a low-level review, it was also a reminder that the president has nothing to determine what is happening in the military. there is all this other stuff that democrats are almost ignoring that are as alarming. >> here's a case where the military people were deeply offended what trump did, one he said you have to remember these people are all broken people. they're like, i came back from combat. i'm not a broken human being. they think you can fight ethically and be a good soldier, marine, whatever. you can do it with a high standard moral decency. trump seems like someone that has no moral sense. >> immoral is more amoral than ill moral. >> it's like telling a color
8:30 am
blind person this is purple. i think he's perpetually surprised. he doesn't have awareness of this. this is a case i knew trump voters were deeply, deeply offended. >> this is the type of story that could penetrate this is sometimes where i wonder it's like, this was deeply offensive in a none ideological way. >> another challenge for democrats is it's difficult from a messaging perspective to launch there challenging impeachment process and also to be able to focus on these other issues. the story of the secretary of the navy being ousted or resigning has been totally covered up. i mean or pushed to the side by the impeachment story. >> thanksgiving, too. >> exactly. but the impeachment story is dominating the way democrats talk about the president. it's not without an opportunity. >> i think this is where the president he understands this idea of letting a convicted war crimes criminal go free, holding him really close. he is talking very closely with
8:31 am
erical ger. he is on all the sunday shows. he wants him to campaign. help wants to show he has a source. this is where the democrats asymmetrically don't understand having a conversation. when the commander-in-chief loses the trust of his top rank, something else is amiss. >> this commander-in-chief to put nit even worst perspective believes everyone from that region is guilty of terrorism unless proven innocent and for him, unlike most of us, somebody shooting an incident civilian in the middle east is not a big deal. he believes, a, those are bad people. we're in a fight. these casualties of war. this man is a navy seal, navy seals are heroes. i'm going to pardon millihim. that's like messing with the right and wrong aspect of why are militaries so successful? >> somebody who thinks by
8:32 am
watching the military channel they're suddenly a commander. when we c when we see you enter through our doors, we don't see who you're against, or for, whether tomorrow will be light or dark, all we see in you, is a spark we see your spark in each nod, each smile, we see sparks in every aisle. we see you find a hidden gem, and buying diapers at 3am. we see your kindness and humanity. the strength of each community. we've seen more sparks than we can say. about 20 million just yesterday. the more we look the more we find, the sparks that make america shine.
8:33 am
a more secure diaper closure. there were babies involved... and they weren't saying much. that's what we do at 3m, we listen to people, even those who don't have a voice. we are people helping people.
8:34 am
as a principal i can tell you this. when one student gets left behind, we all get left behind. this is a problem that affects each and every one of us. together with ibm, we created a whole new kind of school called p-tech. within six years, students can graduate with a high school diploma, a college degree, and a pathway to a competitive job. you know what's going up today? my poster. today, there are more than a hundred thousand p-tech students around the world. it's a game changer.
8:35 am
welcome back. the 2019 u.n. climate change conference begins tomorrow in madrid, an acceleration of global warming and one study the old projection at high tide by the year 2050, in this case in southern vietnam were updated to look more look this. and not, there is a lot more water there than in southern vietnam with virtually an entire body under water. scientists and celebrities called world war zero hopes to spark more conversations about global warming. joining me now are two founding members, former secretary of state democrat john kerry who created the group and former california governor sometime republican, i say sometimes, i'll let you governor tell me these days where you are with the party. gentleman, well come back to "meet the press." secretary kerry, let me start with this question. i will be a bit of a cynic here. you say you are not backing a
8:36 am
single climate plan with world war zero. this is about creating more attention to the issue s. attention to the issue really the issue right now? it feels leak a ten year ago problem. the issue right now convincing a certain president of the united states to act. >> well, it's not just the president, chuck. there are great efforts out there many environmental groups, young people particularly but no country is getting the job done. i mean the simple reality is we are way behind the 8 ball. things are getting worse, not better. so we have our unlikely allies coming together here. there is no group as diers is as ours in terms of nationality, gender, life experience, all of these people to come together saying we've got to treat this like a war. i mean it has to require decision making, organization, efforts not taking place.
8:37 am
so we have people across ideologies, i mean you have former treasury hank paulsen and a former governor of ohio, john kasich, arnold. people on the other side of the aisle who have come together without saying this is the only way to get there but with the desire to make certain in mortgage and around the world people are going to put this issue way up at the top of the list. we're going to do the things we need to do. we will organize, mobilize, talk to literally millions of americans over the course of the next month and this is going to become a primary issue. >> governor schwarzenegger, what does more to sort of focus people's attention to this issue, a town hall or the fact that you know you look at your state, i mean, the wild cards are worse and there's probably nothing right now you can do about it.
8:38 am
>> well, we are very happy and proud of what we have done here in california and it will be perfect proof you can protect the environment and economy at the same time. have you environmental laws here in california and at the same time way ahead of the united states average growth is around 3.6% with the united states growth is around 2% and we create more jobs, millions of jobs sentence we have passed those laws. so you can see we can vote. we're the fifth largest economy around the world with japan and the united states. it shows you the power that we have by going green and the kind of jobs we've created. i think that's the job we want to do. we want the whole united states to go in this direction and i'm very happy i am joined up with john. i think john has been a long-time friend of mine. i have always admired his passion about a clean
8:39 am
environment, he negotiated with lindsey graham over years in the field that was almost about to happen. so i think that we working together that this is a great idea to bring republicans and democrats together. of course, i'm a fanatic about communications which is a whole other issue. >> secretary, for instance, walk me through what a town hall is going to look like in west virginia queen are you in coal country. >> i really look forward to that, actually. there are just huge economic opportunities for west virginia not being utilized. there is -- >> what if the people don't want it? isn't that the problem with? >> i think you have to give people a choice. they're not given a choice right now. you said, are we going to back one plan? yes, the answer is one plan. >> that plan is so get to net zero emissions by 2045 or 2050. now, how we get there, there are a lot of different ideas out
8:40 am
there. that's embarrassing. in the presidential debates you had a whole bunch of debates which there wasn't one question on climate change. climate change. we have a lot of actors involved in it. >> it's a bit overwhelming. the debate i participated in, we asked quite a bit on climate change. it's hard to bite off it's so overwhelming, how do you tackle it one piece at a time? >> in fact, chuck, it's not. it shouldn't be overwhelming. arnold and i and a bunch of people. a woman has taken two years off of going to stamford, she is a part of the climate strikes and she said collaboration is the key to our survival. young people get it. they understand what this is about. they don't have a vote in the board room, in congress.
8:41 am
they don't have stock in the fossil fuel companies. the fact is there are a huge number of jobs to be created here. the favorite effort is solar power technician. second fastester, wind technician. coal is going down because the marketplace is making that decision. so what we want to do is sa i to people here are the ways in which fake health, health can be so much improved. young people are hospitalized in the united states and it's costing taxpayers $55 billion a year because of environmentally induced asthma that comes from pollution. so we're talking reducing prosecution, creating jobs, american security. one of the people whose joined us is general stan mcchrystal. >> right. >> will is no greater patriot. nobody who has paid his dues more. we have admiral, generals, all coming to the table to help make the argument to americans and the people in the world, okay, this is an international

make more of what's yours®. back now with end game, probably the best way to describe uncertainty in the democratic field, let me steal a headline. i think it helps explain the uncertainty. the "new york times" says how come kamela harris campaign unrev unrevelled. warren nosedives in new nationwide poll, quinnipiac had her dropping dramatically, buttigieg is leading in both aisles in new hampshire. teresa, where is the democratic primary is there one? >> i think interesting joe biden is leading the polls nationwide, because he has the highest name
8:54 am
recognition, when you look at iowa, mayor pete is leading. i think as individuals start getting to know the candidates on the ground, that's who we should be looking at. who is the one finding that voter that is encouraging them to move forward? otherwise you can say it sound like it's a dead heat. it's not. where are they spending most of their time and who is gravitating towards them? >> it feels like this candidates are treating pete as the front runner. here is a corey booker ad that takes a larger issue. >> he's a rhodes scholar, a successful mayor, a uniter? no, not that guy, it's corey booker. >> betsy, look, the corey book erier con91 drum. -- conundrum. why didn't he catch on? elizabeth warren didn't hold up very well, how'd he do? smr she had a tough time. part of the reason could
8:55 am
indicate that buttigieg may not go through the same experience. i talked to one democratic operative last night. he said part of the explanation for her problems over the last month has been that when she changed her stance on healthcare issues, she got the worst of both worlds, she frustrated progressives and alienated some of her base plus she doesn't nearly have the credibility that she would need to persuade moderates she isn't a candidate of the left. buttigieg however has a moment right now he can decide, is he going to change some of his core policy stance? is he going to move the flag that he's planted in an effort to expand his support in if he does, he could go through the same thing warren goes through. >> this african-american issue for pete seems problematic. i will put up a headline. pete bute gig a lying mf, it proves men like him are more willing po make the people in power stare into the sun and see

the blinding light of racism, pete buttigieg doesn't want to change anything. he just wants to do something. he called up the writer and because that's one what i to deal with it. and here's how the writer responded on tuesday. the only thing i actually know about pete buttigieg is he is a white man. he listened, which is all you can ask a white man to do. can pete get through this moment? >> i think so one of the questions is who is the jimmy carter here? because we're in a moment we need a moral rinse so in '76, it was jimmy carter running against a hospital of qualified senators. he seemed like a moral rinse and relaxing. i think one of the reasons warren suffered, a warren presidency seems kind of exhausting four more years of battle. i think buttigieg seems a little left of the fighter, where i can have a normal life again, so normalcy is a good trait. >> al? >> what do you make of it? . >> what's surprising to me is how wide the lane on the center

is for this presidential primary. if you add biden and mayor pete and amy klobuchar. you are getting a big clunk of the democratic party at a time when the advertising has been that it's only people far to the left can hold up the anchor of the base. i don't know if it's too early to talk about a brokered convention. >> too early. >> if i was mayor bloomberg, i would think he's a deep thinker. he is putting all his stakes on that super tuesday. i think he will either ber a one day candidate super tuesday or he's going to make sure the vote the delegates print is such that he can make a good argument. >> assess pete buttigieg. is he a nominee with all this code attack on him, he can't put the obama attack together. you know this coalition. >> i think that's the challenges, that right now he's doing quite well in states that don't reflect majority of the

voters that was this coalition of obama voters, i'm talking disproportionately looking at african-american in young people. i was talking to someone in this camp. i asked, how is he polling with the other people? i figured out it was an indication not well. >> and the millennial candidate that has support. >> and that says volumes that this race is long. we still have time. but he's going to have to figure out how to appeal outside of iowa voters to make sure he has it stronger. >> make sure of all the voters. they always show up. >> the young voters have been voting. >> will they show up in the primary? that's all for today. thank you for watching. we'll be back next week because if it's sunday, "meet the press," turkey chili time. last day of turkey. enjoy. are ♪
