she's a little boulder she actually does better on electability questions than harris does according to democratic voters so that's a big source of votes for her as wel well she got the left-wing vote early on but now she's picking up not the centrist but the center of the party, kamala harris, beto o'rourke voters. those candidates are not doing very well in the polls lately. >> she has a lot of work to go on african-american voters where joe biden holds a commanding lead nate silver, thank you for being with me. that is it for "all in." rachel maddow is now where senator warren is sitting down with rachel this evening. >> not to heighten the tension or anything, chris. >> i'm looking forward to it. >> because you're going to watch it i'm terrified because i always get nervous before big interviews. >> you're such a stress case. >> have you met me >> yes, i have it's going to be great. >> thank you, my friend, much appreciated. we do have a big show tonight. as chris said, senator elizabeth

warren is going to be here live in studio in just a moment we had senator kamala harris here last night, we have senator warren here tonight. lots to ask senator warren after her very, very, very large rally in new york city last night. this was quite possibly the biggest rally of the democratic campaign so far this year. senator warren will be joining us here in studio momentito. she's joining us on a day when the democratic controlled congress held its first hearing setting off the parameters of its impeachment inquiry into president trump which makes today a particularly good day to have a democratic presidential front-runner here on the set this was a dramatic day. the witness list for today's hearing, again, the first hearing in the impeachment inquiry into trump called for three people to testify today. the first was corey lewandowski, one of the president's campaign managers, the one who was fired and replaced by paul manafort, who is now in prison the committee also asked for

former white house deputy chief of staff rick dearborn to be there and former white house staff secretary rob porter to be there. both dearborn and porter featured multiple times in robert mueller's report. they were either, according to mueller, involved in or witnessed what mueller described as potentially criminally obstructive behavior by president trump. now, just as the white house has instructed major witnesses, including former white house counsel don mcgahn, that they should not comply with congressional subpoenas, they should not show up and testify, last night in this letter the trump white house naturally ordered both rick dearporn and rob porter, that they too should not appear today to testify despite their subpoenas from congress that letter says they can ignore the subpoena because of something the trump white house is calling constitutional immunity, which is something they have sort of invented i mean in this case it means nobody who ever worked in the trump white house can ever be

allowed to testify on any subject, no matter what. that argument was immediately rejected from the outset by the committee chairman, jerry nadler >> we subpoenaed three witnesses to this hearing, rick dearborn, rob porter and corey lewandowski. unfortunately, we learned last night that the white house is blocking the first two from even showing up and tightly limiting the third. the white house has no authority, legal or otherwise, to give these orders they claim porter and dearborn like mcgahn are absolutely immune from testifying before congress there is no such thing the only court ever to consider this purported absolute immunity doctrine totally rejected it. >> the only court ever to consider this absolute immunity dock republican that the trump administration is trying here totally rejected that argument despite that from the committee chairman and the implicit threat of court action to back thaup, rob porter and rick dearborn did not show up there today.

trump's campaign manager, corey lewandowski, was there, flanked by two empty chairs with dearborn and porter's names in front of them. even though corey lewandowski never worked in the white house at all, he did today after he showed up try to claim some sort of legal authority, some sort of legal reference for himself, refusing to answer questions from the committee that he didn't want to answer. and i will tell you, i'll sort of give you -- i'll give you the spoiler here honestly, the second part of the day with corey lewandowski got way better and way more dramatic and they got tons more out of him. but because of him trying to sort of cite a legal authority of some sort for why he didn't have to answer their questions, this is what the first half of the day generally looked like. >> are you refusing to answer, mr. lewandowski? >> no, congressman as i've explained in a letter from the white house dated september 16, 2019, to my attorney -- >> that letter -- >> mr. lewandowski's conversations with the president and senior advisers to the

president are protected from disclosure the white house has directed not to disclose any discussion with the president and cannot comment. the white house has directed i not disclose the substance of any conversations with the president. i can read the exact statement again. the white house has directed that i not disclose the substance of any conversation with the president i can't discuss a conversation with the president the white house has directed that i not disclose the substance of any conversation with the president the white house has directed that i not disclose the substance of any conversation with the president i can't answer questions that would be privileged and i respect that privilege >> that's how much of the first half of the hearing played out that said, despite that attitude and that sort of angle on the questioning, mr. lewandowski did find himself in the first half of the hearing basically confirming the details of one of the central episodes of potentially criminal obstruction that was laid out against the president in robert mueller's

report an incident that reportedly happened in june 2017 when lewandowski was asked directly by the president to deliver a message to attorney general jeff sessions the message was that sessions should tell special counsel robert mueller that mueller could no longer investigate the trump campaign or the 2016 election he instead had to limit his investigation to elections in the future, to crimes, in other words, that had not yet occurred the president also told corey lewandowski that if jeff sessions refused to meet with him to receive this very important message, then corey lewandowski, who was not a white house employee, should nevertheless take it upon himself to fire the attorney general. if just rando civilians had the power to fire the attorney general, who among us would not have fired one or two over the course of an average lifetime. i hereby retroactively fire

edward miese what if we could do that it's ridiculous. it's very satisfying in some instances to imagine this. regardless, this is what the president reportedly told corey lewandowski he was empowering him to do. as mueller puts it in his report, lewandowski met one-on-one with president trump in the oval office in june 2017 whereupon the president, quote, dictated a message to be delivered to attorney general sessions that would have had the effect of limiting the russia investigation to future election interference only. that's what lewandowski told the fbi and that is what ended up in the mueller report here's corey lewandowski today under oath not quite knowing what to say about that now >> didn't you think it was a little strange that the president would sit down with you one on one and ask you to do something that you knew was against the law? did that strike you as strange you didn't think it would be illegal for you to ask mr. sessions to drop the investigation and to just go on to future presidents and omit

everything with this president >> i didn't think the president would ask me to do anything illegal. >> he gave you dictation he dictated a message to give sessions had you ever been a secretary for the president before and taken dictation or shorthand >> many times. >> many times. oh, nailed it, yeah. i took notes for the president many times problem with that answer, because what corey lewandowski told the fbi about that was the exact opposite quote, this was the first time the president had asked corey lewandowski to take dictation and lewandowski wrote as fast as possible to make sure he captured the content correctly the source of that sentence from the robert mueller report is corey lewandowski's own 302, his own interview with the fbi >> okay. now, you stated earlier today that president trump asked you to take down dictation, quote, many times, is that right? >> it is >> but on page 91, volume 2 of the mueller report it states, quote, the president then asked lewandowski to deliver a message to sessions and said, quote,

write this down, close quote this was the first time the president had asked lewandowski to take direct dictation the first time >> those are not my words, those are the investigator's words. >> right did you lie to mueller or are you lying to us? >> i didn't lie. >> you're not really here to tell the truth you are here to participate in a continuing cover-up. >> now, if he did tell the fbi that was the first time the president had ever told him to write something down and then he said today under oath, oh, i had been told to write things down taking dictation for the president many times, this is a totally normal -- i mean being under oath to congress and being under oath to the fbi, you can't tell different stories without criminally lying in one of those circumstances. now, i mentioned that today's hearing was the first conducted under new rules adopted by the judiciary committee last week to essentially set the parameters for their impeachment investigation of the president

this was the first hearing under those parameters one of those new rules adopted by the committee last week gave the committee the ability to have committee staff lawyers ask questions of witnesses in addition to questions being asked by members themselves. so, yeah, members of congress all want their five minutes. but in addition to that under these new rules, staff lawyers get to ask too and that's really important. and we knew that was going to be really important when they agreed to that we got to see it in action today because when the staff lawyers started asking questions of lewandowski, that's where it really got good. i mean hello, congressional committees unsolicited advice here, but professional staff are better asking questions in 30-minute uninterrupted blocks than you are in five-minute increments where you ping pong back and forth. therefore, you should do the staff questioning part first, or at least at a very convenient time to be covered on tv if you did that first, then all of you individual members of

congress could follow-up with your five-minute questions thereafter it's a lot more cojengent and e to follow with staff lawyers doing the questions. how about that, just a thought free advice. i'll take the change anyway, so the back half of the corey lewandowski hearing, the first half is him answering questions from all the committee members. the back half is him answering questions from a lawyer who is working for the committee. from the point of view of what the committee was getting at, that part went comparatively well for example, in no time at all the committee staff lawyer got corey lewandowski to admit that he had lied in an interview earlier this year when he said he couldn't recall any conversation that he had with the president about jeff sessions the staff lawyer played lewandowski this clip of that tv interview in the hearing room. it was an interview with ari melber here on msnbc i'm actually going to play it to you the way it appeared on tv, because when he played it in the hearing room today it was a little hard to follow what it was. but this was the actual

interview that was played today in the hearing room. >> i don't ever remember the president ever asking me to get involved with jeff sessions or the department of justice in any way, shape or form ever. >> i don't remember the president ever asking me to get involved with jeff sessions or the department of justice in any way, shape or form ever. so that's corey lewandowski earlier this year, february of this year. that's two months before the special counsel's report comes out. so today in the hearing, the staff lawyer played that clip to corey lewandowski, played it so everybody else in the hearing room could hear it, and then the lawyer resumed his questioning >> that wasn't true, was it, sir? >> i heard that. >> and that was not true, was it >> i have no obligation to be honest with the media because they're just as dishonest as anybody else. >> so you're admitting, sir, you were not being truthful in that clip, correct? >> my interview with ari melber? >> yes. >> can be interpreted any way you like. >> it is true in may 2019 you absolutely remembered when the

president asked you to deliver a message to the attorney general of a speech for him to give related to the special counsel investigation, isn't that correct? >> i'd have to think about it. >> are you claiming, sir -- you had been interviewed by the special counsel about those very events which you discussed and said was accurately recorded in the report a year earlier. are you saying you had forgotten it just before the report was released >> i'm saying my memory was much fresher when i gave the interview with the special counsel's report. >> sir, is it your testimony before this committee when you said that you did not remember the president ever asking you to get involved with jeff sessions or the department of justice, you were saying you were being truthful and, sir, i don't believe there's any reason to consult with your counsel. the question is are you a truth teller in that interview. >> i'm a truth teller every time i stand before congress or a

jurisdiction and raise my hand and swear an oath. >> my question is -- >> i have no obligation to have a candid obligation with the media whatsoever, just like they have no obligation to cover me honestly and they do it incorrectly all the time. >> you're admitting on national television you were lying there? >> what i'm saying is they have been inaccurate on many occasions and perhaps i was inaccurate that time. >> also i'd like you to elect me to the senate because i'm awesome. that same staff lawyer for the committee also got corey lewandowski to expand on the obstruction incident in question from the mueller report, which is what this discussion was about, and how rather than carry out the president's order, corey lewandowski instead decided to delegate it to somebody else, specifically to deputy white house chief of staff rick dearborn who was one of the two absent witnesses at today's hearing represented by an empty chair with his name placard in front of it. >> why didn't you deliver the message that the president asked you to deliver unless you didn't deliver it because you knew it was improper to deliver?

>> mr. burke, it wasn't a priority. >> let me ask you, sir, if it wasn't a priority for you to deliver the message, why did you enlist mr. dearborn to deliver the message for the president? >> again, i can't speak to private conversations i would have had with mr. dearborn at the advice of counsel. >> i'm not asking private conversations. i'm asking why did you do it why? >> i knew mr. dearborn -- >> why did you do it >> can i answer now? >> please. >> i have known mr. dearborn since his tenure as a chief of staff to senator sessions. he was my primary point of contact for jeff sessions during the trump campaign and i also knew that mr. dearborn had continued, like i did, to have a long standing relationship with jeff if i wasn't going to be seeing jeff, i figured rick would be able to deliver that message >> rick dearborn never delivered that message because, as he told the fbi for the special counsel's report, doing so made him feel uncomfortable that's understandable, because it was arguably criminal

obstruction of justice by the president, that the president was asking corey lewandowski to carry out. corey lewandowski didn't want to do it and so asked rick to do it instead. and, no, rick didn't want to do it either. so although there were both proverbial dogs and ponies at the dog and pony show today and corey lewandowski did spend much of the first half of this hearing insulting democratic members of congress and praising the president's brilliance and decrying the fake russia narrative and repeating the line of no conspiracy, no collusion, in the end, corey lewandowski, the president's campaign manager, did have to admit under oath under direct questioning that, yeah, actually everything in the mueller report as far as he's concerned is accurate >> you see where this says you were asked about it, the special counsel concluded that taken together, the president's campaign, the purpose of the message was to have you tell the

attorney general to move forward with investigating election meddling for future elections. do you have any basis to dispute that conclusion by the special counsel and your conduct >> again, i've answered this question asked and answered >> i would ask you to answer it, sir. >> the gentleman will answer the question whether he's answered it before or not. >> i have stated to the best of my knowledge, most of the information in the mueller report is accurate >> oh. the mueller report is accurate, says the president's campaign manager, who admits to playing a role in attempted obstruction of justice, also implicating white house deputy chief of staff in that attempted obstruction of justice. that deputy white house chief of staff is now defying a subpoena and refusing to testify. and so that is what happened in the house judiciary committee with the help of some new rules allowing its lawyers to do the questioning. all future impeachment hearings, all future hearings under this impeachment inquiry will be conducted under those same rules.

i think we can expect that the relevant committees here, the judiciary committee in the house in particular, will probably get that maybe they should put their staff questioning on blast and let committee members follow up, but we shall see. we are also following the other congressional drama that has been unfolding over the last few days on friday, adam schiff, chairman of the house intelligence committee, issued a subpoena to the director of national intelligence it happened late on friday night. we got this mysterious scant on details preweekend late-night news dump about a whistleblower complaint from inside the intelligence community according to chairman schiff, the inspector general for the intelligence community got a complaint from a whistleblower, investigated that complaint and found it to be both credible and of urgent concern. now, there's rules about how whistleblower complaints have to be handled when something like that happens, the inspector general for the intelligence community is supposed to give it to the director of national intelligence the director of national

intelligence can feel free to add his or her own comments to that, but they're supposed to turn the whistleblower complaint over to the intelligence committees in congress in this case to adam schiff in the house. that is prescribed by law. that is the way it is supposed to happen because the whistleblowers are protected inside the u.s. government according to chairman schiff, the director of national intelligence decided instead to sit on this complaint and say that he would not turn over this urgent and credible whistleblower complaint because he believes it involves privileged information hmm? as well as alleged behavior by a person outside the intelligence community. well, that implies that the person about whom the complaint has been levied might be the president. it also implies that the director of national intelligence is trying to cook up some crazy privilege thing that excuses them from following the whistleblower law which makes no sense in this context whatsoever now, chairman schiff says he doesn't know who the whistleblower is, doesn't know

what the complaint is about. this isn't optional, it's mandated by law that the dni has to turn over this kind of complaint to the intelligence committees chairman schiff says that a dni has never prevented a credible and urgent whistleblower complaint from being turned over to the intelligence committees before it's never happened, not once. not since we've had a dni. but the trump administration is trying to do it now. so on friday night, chairman schiff subpoenaed the director of national intelligence demanding that he turn over the complaint and all relevant information about that urgent and credible whistleblower complaint from the department that hands the most sensitive intelligence the deadline for that subpoena, the deadline to receive that information under the subpoena was tuesday, september 17th which was, oh, today chairman schiff says on friday night if the dni failed to turn over the complaint, that the acting director of national intelligence should expect to be testifying to congress at an

open hearing two days later this week on thursday today was the deadline for the dni to comply with that subpoena or not it looks like the dni chose not to comply with that subpoena tonight congressman schiff confirmed to reporters that he has not received that whistleblower complaint as required by law, and now also required by congressional subpoena i mean technically it still is tuesday for a few more hours, check your watch, but i'm not sure how many people are left burning the midnight oil over this over at the office of director of national intelligence right now congressman schiff says he expects the acting director of national intelligence to be in his committee on the hill on thursday answering questions about this in open session he said tonight, quote, the acting dni has yet to provide the complaint in response to the committee's subpoena, so i expect him to appear on thursday, under subpoena if necessary. it is now as of this evening just before we got on the air looking like that subpoena might be necessary "the new york times" has obtained a letter from the director of national intelligence to congressman

schiff tonight notifying him that the dni will not be turning over that whistleblower complaint and that the dni has no intention of appearing before congress on thursday either. a lawyer for the director of national intelligence writing to adam schiff today saying that the dni does not plan to show up on thursday because, quote, he is not available on such short notice well, okay then. stick a pen in this as it develops over the next couple of days this is literally unprecedented if according to the intelligence committees there has never, ever been a whistleblower complaint to the director of national intelligence that they have refused to hand on to congress that is where it is supposed to go congress will now presume blow use everything in their power to get that complaint and figure out what's going on. this is developing fast. subpoena on friday, deadline today, presumably a new subpoena coming if the dni doesn't turn that over by midnight. if he's not going to testify on thursday, a new subpoena to

compel his testimony this is going to have the potential to boil over any mi minute and fast, so watch that. and there's one more thing worth paying attention to tonight. it's been five days since the third democratic presidential primary debate at five days this is right about the time we would expect the ripples from that debate to start making their way to shore, for us to start getting a better handle on how the performances by the candidates at the debate might have affected their standing in the race well, today the clock struck new polling o'clock post debate and the new data we just got in is fascinating. it's an nbc news/"wall street journal" poll, a fresh national poll of the democratic primary that has just been unembargoed within the last couple of hours. these are the top line results former vice president joe biden is at the top of the pack in this new national poll with his support among democratic primary voters at 31%. in terms of joe biden's performance over time compared to the same poll taken in july, he's increased his national

support by 5 points, went from 26 to 31 now look at vermont senator bernie sanders he comes in third in this new national poll. his support has been a little more static compared to this same poll taken in july. bernie sanders' support has increased a little by 1 point. he was at 13, he's now at 14 we've gotten accustomed to these two camping out near the top of the poll as it solidifies into tiers. look who's between them there. massachusetts senator elizabeth warren coming in in second in this new national poll with 25%, so it's biden 31, warren 25, sanders 14 but in addition to that strong second place showing, of all the candidates running in the primary, she's gotten the biggest boost since this poll was last taken in july she's bumped up by 6 points. she went up from 19 to 25. and that uptick for elizabeth warren, that boost in the polls, is not looking like a one-off.

senator warren has been steadily climbing not just in this poll but all polls. she has clocking solid debate performances, she has been drawing more crowds to her rallies, culminating last night in new york city in washington square park where senator warren had not just the biggest rally so far but what may be the biggest single crowd drawn by anyone in the democratic presidential field thus far this year as i mentioned at the top, massachusetts senator elizabeth warren will be joining us live here in studio next for the interview. please stay with us for that performance comes in lots of flavors. there's the amped-up, over-tuned, feeding-frenzy-of sheet-metal-kind. and then there's performance that just leaves you feeling better as a result. that's the kind lincoln's about. ♪

last night massachusetts senator elizabeth warren held a rally in new york city trying to count people in a crowd like this is a little like trying to counting drops of water in a bucket, good luck. the warren campaign says as many as 20,000 people showed up for this speech. it was a darned lot of people. it may be the largest crowd size for any event yet for any democratic candidate this whole

year >> warren, warren, warren, warren warren, warren, warren, warren >> 2020 is about the direction our america goes not just for four years, but for generations to come. and yeah, there's a lot at stake in this election and i know, people are scared. but we can't choose a candidate we don't believe in just because we're too scared to do anything else and democrats can't win if we're scared and looking backward. we win when we meet the moment we win when we stand up for what

is right we win when we get out there and fight. i am not afraid. and you can't be afraid either so if you're ready to fight, then join me >> senator warren last night at the biggest campaign event of her campaign thus far. joining us now for the interview is senator warren. senator, great to see you. >> it's good to be here. >> i keep expecting you to be hoarse. >> no. >> you're fine. >> no, i'm fine. >> i have to ask you about the selfie line. i realize you stay afterwards and take pictures with everybody

that wants a picture taken with you. last night at that event it was like four hours? >> yep, a little over. >> i assume this is something you cannot do forever because of the amount of time that it takes, because of the energy it takes. also i imagine security concerns are you thinking about that? >> no. because this is how i see it look, we know in this country what is broken people know this we've got a government that works better and better and better for a thinner and thinner slice at the top and is just not working for everyone else. we know it's broken, we know how to fix it. we're going to attack the corruption head on and make structural changes in our economy. we've got to protect our democracy. we know what we need to do the third part is we've got to build a grassroots movement to make it happen and, you know, yeah, i was there four hours, but i'll tell you what, so was the last guy in line and he's in. he's all the way in this fight he's in to volunteer his hour,

he's in to put in his $5 or his $25. he's in this to talk to everyone else and to bringing more people into it. because when things are as badly broken as they are right now, when we've got this much corruption right at the heart of our government, it's going to take a huge movement it's going to take millions of people pushing from the outside. it's going to take somebody leading from the inside to make the kind of big structural change we need to make. >> and that was really the plot of your speech last night, talking about the fire that killed 140 women in 1911 i was struck by the parallel with the start of your campaign. you launched your campaign in lawrence, massachusetts, at everett mills. so you've had these two tent pole moments, 1911 and 1912. is that because you see us as sort of -- that was a time when the gilded age was yielding the

progressive era. >> yes. >> do you see us in that kind of transition again or is that what you're trying to make happen >> i see it as we have this moment in history that if we get out there and fight, we can turn it around. but it's not guaranteed. it really is about whether we get out and fight. and that's how i see pulling all these moments together the triangle shirtwaist factory, it is a story of power it's about the power of the factory owners who knew, there had been one parade after another, one protest march after another. there had been plenty of press about it, about the terrible conditions, the dangerous conditions in their factories. and then the moment came when over 140 people died in that fire when frances perkins stood on the street and watched as one woman jumped to her death and then another and another and another. in 18 minutes, 143 people died

their bodies lying on the ground their blood running into the gutters. people piled up at the fire exit that was locked because the owners were so worried that those workers might steal a scrap of cloth but this time the plan was different. it was to say we're not just going to have one more protest we're going to have a huge protest. we're going to build a grassroots movement from the outside. and at the same moment we're going to have somebody leading it from the inside and that was frances perkins so think about this. 1911, you know what she does following this fire, she goes to washington -- to albany. she's 30 years old she goes to albany remember, women can't even vote. >> she couldn't vote at the time. >> she could not vote. she shows up and she leads the fight from the inside. she gets appointed to a commission, they change the rules around fire. but that's not enough. she goes from fire safety to the labor laws, and new york state

rewrites its labor laws top to bottom roosevelt becomes governor, then roosevelt becomes president. when roosevelt is president, he brings frances perkins to be the first woman to be a cabinet secretary. she's secretary of labor and here's how you see it. one very persistent woman backed up by millions of people and what do they get done? social security, the minimum wage, unemployment insurance, the end of child labor, the very existence of the weekend, the right to join a union. it was a transformative moment that took two things, the fight from the outside and the fight from the inside, the leadership from the inside. we had that opportunity now. and too many people say it's just too hard, we can't do it. but think of it this way

here in america, we've engaged in big structural change before. we did it then the suffragettes that were told too hard, give it now, right the foot soldiers in the civil rights movement, too hard, give innow. the early union organizers, too hard, give up now. the lgbtq activists, pabarely a decade ago, too hard, give up now. but they didn't give up. they got rganized, they built grassroots movement, they persisted and they changed the course of american history >> how do you map that model of social change, of big structural change, as you say, to an electoral campaign for president? frances perkins was not running for president, she didn't have the right to vote when she was doing these things presidential campaigns now are about partisan mobilization and they are about competition in the primary before you ever get to the general how do those things map

together >> i think it's there, because i think that's what this moment is i think the reason 20,000 people showed up last night is 20,000 people are not only ready for change, they are so ready for change that they'll show up and get in the fight they are so ready for change that they're saying call on me, i will be part of this that's why i say this is our moment and we can't spend it afraid we can't spend it under the covers we can't spend it nibbling around the edges of whatever is broken we have to use it as the moment to root out the corruption, the moment to make some big structural change, just a couple in this economy, to strengthen the rights of workers, give unions more power, make it easier to join a union, pass that two-cent wealth tax so we can invest in our young people and cancel student loan debt and provide universal child care and protect our democracy. we make those changes and then

we've got a government that doesn't just work for those at the top, it's a government that works for everyone. >> stay right ther we,e'll be right back with senator elizabeth warren right after this -[ scoffs ] if you say so. ♪ -i'm sorry? -what teach here isn't telling you is that snapshot rewards safe drivers with discounts on car insurance. -what? ♪ -or maybe he didn't know. ♪ [ chuckles ] i'm done with this class. -you're not even enrolled in this class. -i know. i'm supposed to be in ceramics. do you know -- -room 303. -oh. thank you. -yeah. -good luck, everybody.

we're joined again live by senator elizabeth warren, a democrat who is in the democratic contention for president for 2020 i want to ask you about what you were just talking about before the break, this idea of change from the inside, from a person inside government being made possible and being essentially effectuated by a big movement. that's something i've had a lot of conversations with senator bernie sanders about you and senator sanders agree a lot when it comes to policy. you clearly have mutual respect between you two as individuals, there's a lot of overlap in your supporters and admirers. you're both so popular right now in this primary that it's possible that you two may split the progressive vote down the middle, thus resulting in a more centrist candidate winning the nomination instead of either of

you. how do you and senator sanders avoid that fate? >> look, i've been friends with bernie what feels like forever and forever, certainly long, long before i ever got into politics at all. the first town hall i ever did was for bernie up in vermont when i was still teaching. but i see this as where we are right now is we're just out there, everybody is, making your case for your vision of what it would mean to have -- for you to be in the white house, what your case is for the argument for what we need to do as a country. and i think that's a good and healthy thing to happen, to get a lot of people into this discussion and to get a lot of people to say, wait, what, and start paying attention and start making a decision that this is my democracy and i'm going to get in this fight and i love seeing this. i mean like i said, that's what the selfie lines are all about,

that's what the town halls are all about. you know, i have been now to 27 states and puerto rico i've taken thousands of unfiltered questions done, gosh, over 60,000 selfies now. but what it's really about at these town halls is the chance to be able to make a thoughtful and coherent argument about what's going on. a little chance to be able to tell who i am and where i came from, about growing up out in oklahoma and being the baby and, as my mother always called me, the surprise, to be able to talk through this so that more and more people have a chance to say we are going to make a big decision in 2020 and here's where i'm ready to invest in our future and who i'm ready to have

to lead it. >> when you said last night in that clip that i just played from your speech we can't choose a candidate we don't believe in just because we're too scared to do anything else, democrats can't win if we're scared and looking backward broadly that was perceived as you talking about vice president biden. was it >> no. it's talking about whether we're going to turn backwards and just say the only problem is trump. if we get rid of trump, everything will be just fine. >> the democratic choice would imply that >> we can't do it and can't even think of the problem that way. the way i see it, things have been broken for a very long time, for decades now. an inch at a time. the giant corporations have taken the legs out from underneath labor and have captured our government. they have poured more and more and more money into controlling not just part of government. this isn't just campaign contributions, although that's huge, it's every part of it. it's the bought and paid for experts, it's the pr firms, it's

all the pieces, so that most of it never makes a headline but just inch at a time. the world works just a little better for all the giant corporations and when they are ready for a big one like trillion and a half dollars in tax breaks, it took, what, five weeks to get it done. this ain't going to work it's not working for america let me give you an example that two-cent wealth tax that i've been talking a lot about. think about this we say just people who have more than $50 million in accumulated wealth your first 50 million free and clear. >> safety net. >> yeah, safety net. but your 50 millionth and first dollar, you've got to pitch in two cents, and two cents on every dollar after that. and then to look at what it means now for two cents, we could then pay for universal child care, every baby in this

country age 0 to 5, universal pre-k, every 3-year-old and 4-year-old raise the wages of every child care worker and preschool teacher. universal technical school, two-year college, four-year college. put $50 billion into our historically black colleges and universities and cancel student loan debt for 95% of the folks who have got it. think about the difference in an economy where you leave two cents with the top 1/10 of 1%, the richest of the richest of the richest. guys, you're doing fine. pitch in that two cents and we can invest in every young person in america that fundamentally changes our economy. or as i like to say big structural cnghae. >> senator elizabeth warren is our guest. we'll be right back right after this you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from anyone else.

why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist. nothing stronger. nothing gentler. nothing lasts longer. flonase sensimist. 24 hour non-drowsy allergy relief as a doctor, i agree with cdc guidance. i recommend topical pain relievers first... like salonpas patch large. it's powerful, fda-approved to relieve moderate pain, yet non-addictive and gentle on the body. salonpas. it's good medicine. hisamitsu.

but when i started seeing things, i didn't know what was happening... so i kept it in. he started believing things that weren't true.

i knew something was wrong... but i didn't say a word. during the course of their disease around 50% of people with parkinson's may experience hallucinations or delusions. but now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. the only fda approved medicine... proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinson's. don't take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementia-related psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinson's disease. nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. tell your doctor about any changes in medicines you're taking. the most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. we spoke up and it made all the difference. ask your parkinson's specialist about nuplazid.

at verizon, we're building the most powerful 5g experience for america. that's why the nfl chose verizon. because they need the massive capacity of 5g with ultra wideband, so more screaming, streaming, posting fans... can experience 5g all at once. this is happening in 13 stadiums all across the country. now if verizon 5g can do this for the nfl... imagine what it can do for you. welcoming back senator

elizabeth warren, 2020 presidential candidate thanks for stingi insticking ar. >> the epa is going to say that a fuel standard for cars they're going to say the trump administration trumps anything they want to do in that regard what do you say about that >> the urgency on climate change cannot be overstated a warming planet threatens every living thing and so we're running out of runway on this so the direction we need to be going, obviously, is to have tougher emission standards, and in fact, i think we have to go way beyond that. i very much support what governor inslee proposed when he said we're going to use our regulatory tools here. and we can do this by 2028, no more carbon emission from new

buildings and homes. by 2030, we're not doing any more cars that have any emissions, and by 2025, we're going to produce electricity, none of it with emissions. it all has to be green and renewable. think about that, because that would reduce our carbon, just those three things, by about 70%. and that's a powerful step in the right direction. i also have a green manufacturing plant where we invest heavily in the science and technology and then produce about 1.2 million new green manufacturing jobs here in america, good union jobs, and then we take that technology all around the world because even if america cleans up, we're only about 20% of the problem. so we have to think of this globally that's the direction we need to be going as a world leader instead donald trump is trying to pull us in the opposite direction, and the irrationality of this one, the danger that

this man poses, it's like every day you think, okay, that's as low as it can go and it goes lower. this is one of them. this is something that not even the industry is asking for and yet it seems to me -- i mean, this is just how i read it from the outside, because president obama tried to help make it cleaner, tried to help strengthen those emissions standards because california, which is not friendly to donald trump, is the one trying to clean up its own air and water, that that just means he wants to somehow prove that he's the biggest guy and he can prove it by trying to break everything. this man is dangerous. and we need a new president. >> elizabeth warren trying very hard to become that next presenidt. it's really, really good to see you. thank you very much. we'll be right back.

. one thing to watch overnight tonight is the election news out of israel. israel just had an election last april. they just had another one today because it was called by prime minister netanyahu he thought the election today would strengthen his standing. quite the contrary official votes aren't in yet but polling showed netanyahu trailing from the centrist party. netanyahu may likely be out as prime minister and the new governor may set up a coalition. he said it appears that netanyahu has lost netanyahu for his part says that he will not concede. he is blaming the media for biased coverage against him. he said tonight that he will attempt to form a governing coalition regardless of the results of today's election. keep an eye on this one overnight and into tomorrow. that does it for us tonight. we'll see you again
