welcome back. jo joinetg us now on the s moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd. a lot going on. let's talk about you have an exclusive interview with bernie sanders. what is he laying out today?e' >> hs -- i think a little bit nervous about the biden surge and ming case that number one he believ he is electable and believes that a demratic nominee has to be more transformational. this is, i think he'sthe biggest challenge he has ith ere is a lot of skepticism ammong someatic leaders. and he got really amped up when i noted that a bunch of people sanders can't carry pennsylvania and that is what he seemed to bg fightin most, this perception -he can't that while maybe there is a lot of peoplehat have empathy for his ideas and they like his aspirational goals, that it is just too much if you'rerying to winver moderate republicans or

independents who maybe don't want that much goernment in their lives. so it was, yousnow it bernie sanders being bernie sanders in the best sense of the word if you will. but that is -- that's the debate in the party right now. if it does come between and bernie, right now, the moret people ge in, the more they sort of stay on top. and there is some sense that maybe this ends up bing more of a debate between those floss fi philosophies and nobody else can breakthrough. >> we saw alabama pass the mo restrictive abortion laws in the country. no exemptions for rape or incest, that's something the resident doesn't agree with. what role -- how will this factor into the 2020 race? >> i think it just means that abortion will be a top issue. some skepticism if they want abortion front a center. sanders rails against the alabama law, but he wants to talk about massive economic

change, talk about some of these other issues. i think the republicans you'll see here, tom cotton not wanting to endorse the no exemptions there. it isn interes the abortion debate in general, when democrats get uncomrtable, the conversation is about late term abortion u abortions, yocan see this concern among -- i had tom live in a democratic society, there is debate here.io the questn is can, you know, can both of those positions exist inside the republican tent these days like democrats i thinked decid maybe there isn't room for pro life democrats anymore. this is the -- forcing itself on the twoarties right now. the elected officials never like having to deal with it. >> it is a tough one for sure. that discs will carry on. seet the press" come up every sunday at 10:30 after "news 4
