e congresswoman tulsi gabbard, thank you very much. we appreciate it. with that,e turn to the analysis of shields and brooks. that is syndicated columnist mark shields, and "new york times" columnist david brooks. gentleman, hello. so you listened to the conversation of congresswoman gabbard, david, to you first, how much of a role is fore tn policy goi play in this election? >> at this moment i don't think a primary will. i was a foreign correspondent in the early '90s covger europe, africa and the middle east. i remember when the clinton campaign started, suddenly all my stories disappeared. new yorinton cam people said, something is happening right here. right now the focus of the voters' attention is the crisis right here. i think that's the way it is. it could change wite h reign policy crisis. right now this is a domestically focused nation. >> woodruff: congresswoman gaard, you heard her s mark , she's ver oy focusn the world. she said mistakes have been made. is that a wayto capture voters' imagination? >> if david is right and ais crisoes devel

here is hawaii democrat tulsi gabbard. roll tape. >> i think we need to overhaul our whole tax system. i think the president's tax cuts overwhelmingly benefited the rich and powerful, leaving behind the vast majority of hard-working americans in this country. stuart: okay. leaving behind the vast majority of working people in this country and she says many americans are still struggling. art laffer with us now. democrats seem to be appealing not to the hard numbers on growth and unemployment, but to your feelings. to the emotion side of things. >> i have always been such a huge fan of tulsi gabbard. i thought she was just wonderful before. now that she's running for president, that was just nonsense she just said. just total nonsense. number one, tax revenues are up. these people aren't getting tax breaks. they are getting tax breaks because if there were any, because of economic growth. economic growth has benefited clearly primarily the lowest income groups in this country, the poor, minorities, disenfranchised. we have

lick to what tulsi gabbard had to say about the fisa court. >> the fisa court and this system is not working in the best interests of the people of this country. we have a one-sided system. that does not represent any voice or any protection for the civil liberties and privacy of the american people, this is something that i've been working on with fellow democrats and republicans to try to bring about some real change and real reforms. >> do you agree with that? >> i think that every american would initially have some grave concerns of a court that is operating completely in secret. given all the information and facts, if the information that was represented to the fisa court -- if they knew this was campaign fodder or promulgated and still decided to issue a warrant, that would bring a lot of things to questions. those are questions that i would have. >> house judiciary chair, jerry nadler says that robert mueller would like to testify before the committee, but wants to do so in private. that he doesn't want to appear political. what is your reaction to that? do you think democrats

tulsi gabbard will be meeting with wall street executives for fund-raising. understand the first week in june and she will be focusing on wall street executives. we should point out again, not the only one. on wednesday, mayor pete, how do you say his name? buttigieg? he held a new york city fund-raiser. we should also point out -- neil: wall street? >> wall street guys here in new york city, i'm sorry. left that part out. now, here's something interesting. there's been some reports that joe biden's going to have a new york city fund-raiser, that jim cheynos, the legendary short seller, might attend. so might andrew cuomo, governor of new york state. from what i understand, sources are telling me that biden's going to hold his first new york city fund-raiser next month. it's going to be hosted by the short seller, legendary hedge fund manager. one of the best investors i know in the markets. so you know, i will say this. the democrats, i get biden out of it because he really has not been pounding the class warfare stuff like ignoring corporate -- he may not t

there is nothing new for every single democrat, tulsi gabbard as you point out.ing she should be impeached. neil: you can make the case president being such shoot from the hip kind of guy, between the tweets and public states he talks way too much, tweets way too much. you know, implicates himself way too often, but because, throughout this process, he was just that, a lot of americans would probably shrug their shoulders say, who isn't keen on this? we could very well see just him wanting this to all go away. because of that, it is actually weirdly working in his favor. obstruction usually implies something behind the scenes or secretive, unknown. i'm not trying to exonerate the president nor indict him. there was nothing unknown about his point of view on this and hough he felt, forget about obstructing a case, he felt throughout there was no case. that is what he pounded. that is what americans remember. so in a way, i don't see it changing minds one way or the other? >> you're absolutely right. the strategy of the while house hand been to walk away from this.

tulsi gabbard out of washington, d.c. >> sandra: fox news alert.additional charges the u.s. accusing him of one of the largest leaks of classified information in u.s. history. doug mcelway is in washington on all this. good morning. >> good morning. the 18-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in alexandria yesterday alleges that julian assange directed bradley manning to conspire with wikileaks in the publication of one of the biggest leaks of classified national defense information in u.s. history and alleges assange caused imminent risk to the lives of human sources, local afghans and iraqis and journalists, religious leaders, political dissidents living in those repressive regimes. they're also raising a red flag among free press advocates and libertarians. they called it a dire threat to press freedom. for the first time in the history the government has brought criminal charges against a publisher for the publication of truthful information. this is an extraordinary escalation of the trump administration's attack on journalism and

that trump got and governor of washington, he's made it all about the environment, and i look at tulsi gabbardlling at 0% or 1%, he's a former veteran and she also is one of those people she's been attacked from the left in the democratic primaries. heather: starting to hear about her lately. a lot has to do with timing as well. >> she's very good on camera which is going to be interesting when you the debates coming up in a couple of weeks who shines, just like, again, donald trump came in those debates no matter where he was, where they put him on debate stage he nominated the stage. heather: you know, we have to go, running out of time, i could talk to you to the whole show, thank you so much. appreciate it. we will have you back. mayor pete taking on president trump trying to stand out in the crowded field we were just talking about. >> there's a lot of us running for president on the democratic side and it's safe to say i'm not like the others. heather: biggest struggle that he's facing right now. my digestive system used to make me feel sluggish. but those days are over. now i take metam

elizabeth warren with 8%, kamala harris at 7%, amy klobuchar 2%, kirsten gillibrand followed by tulsi gabbardilliamson was not a part of this poll though she was one of the candidates running. does it surprise you that warren is in the lead? >> i'm happy she is in the lead. she was a tough candidate. she is smart, she is experienced, wants to help middle-class americans. heather: i will ask you what i asked rebecca, the points on policy are strong enough, have you heard enough information, details on policies. >> we have a long way to go between now and the primary and the general election and i am excited to learn more about what the candidates will dance for their policies, not just women and men as well. it is premature, but you what we have to say. >> we have a long way to go. surprised a lot of people. half of the trump 2020 campaign contributions are coming from female donors, $1.47 million in donations from women for the 2020 campaign. and overall, that puts him in third place out of 15 candidates in terms of total percentage of donations from women. does that surprise you? >> not at a

tulsi gabbard, you know, the congresswoman from hawaii, amazing story, right?ah. >> she was a gulf war veteran the whole thing, she was an early bernie sanders supporter and she is raising money from wall street. so i'm just telling you guys, gals, when you hear the populists, hank, long time democratic consultant i quoted him in foxbusiness.com story, check it out on the web, he calls it the old con game. right. >> they, it is funny. chuck schumer and people that used to go out and say all this bad stuff about wall street and blah, blah. then they used to walk into jimmy cayne's office, head of bear stearns, how are you doing. jimmy cayne used to tell me, you think wall street guys are tough. these guys are worse. he said i couldn't do 180. david: a lot of wall street guys are betting their bets. not like their heart and soul -- >> we should point out, some firms spread their bets, a lot are democrats. jim chanos is a long-time democrat. there are democrats here. wall street democrats are hesitant, more hesitant to give more this time because of the far left t

he went on to say the us must side with juan guaido and tulsi gabbard called on both sides to resolve their differences peacefully. breaking right now the highest ranking member of venezuela's secret police has turned his back on nicholas maduro in an open letter, what appears to be a chink in the armor. shannon: will the us get involved and how? the trump administration says it is all on the table. the latest from donald trump tonight. >> donald trump monitoring that crisis. threatening cuba with a full embargo, keeping nicholas maduro in power. and early evening tweet warning cubans to stay out of venezuela or face the, quote, highest level sanctions. after watching a days worth of violent images from venezuela the president learned of the unfolding chaos this morning. by dinnertime mike pompeo made it clear maduro's time is up. >> options use military force is available. we hope there can be a peaceful resolution. >> reporter: mike pompeo pointed out 50 nations are recognizing juan guaido avenue venezuela's leader these are the nations that recognize madero's power including russia

tulsi from hawaii >> tulsi gabbard, okay. congressman eric swalwell? >> tim ryan. >> tim ryan.played >> mayor pete. >> what took you so long to say mayor pete buttigieg? he's considered such a rising star >> he's a great personality. i think he's a great person to connect with voters all over. i don't know if a lot of people really think he's necessarily ready to be president. >> someone online said mayor pete didn't have any plans. i thought, you're just being lazy. go on the man's wednesdbsite. i went and he doesn't have any policies listed >> he said it's early days. he first wanted to introduce himself to the country and then will come up with policies. you're saying you're ready for policies now >> because there are so many people to distinuish themselves you have to at least have some basic construct. >> show of hands, do any of you feel there are so many candidates it muddles the field? >> i feel like it's a good thing to have a lot of candidates to choose from. >> we have one of the best fields out there because we represent the people of the country. >> how many of you

that's later than tulsi gabbard, later than andrew yang, later than people who candid di haly much lesse. there are worrying signs in the fundraising that he's not able to match the kamala harrises or pete buttigieges, the broadness of the fundraising base >> who's at the bottom? >> bill de blasio. he hasn't announced he's running yet but is likely to make a decision by the end of the month. i have one simple question. why? why would you think that your polling numbers and your record in new york city would make you a viable presidential candidate? he does this, he did it last time around. he wants to be a major player and a major voice on the liberal side of the democratic party. i don't see it happening. he's not running yet. he'll make a decision. but it just seems to me there is not a lot of there there of people wanting him to run. >> we'll have the mayor on to refute what you are saying at some point soon, i'm sure, when he makes an announcement, if he does. >> thank you, professor. appreciate it >> you're welcome. >> america's first reality tv president, is he now considered amon

with one kind of endorsement, ironically, from ron paul who said tulsi gabbard is the best.y liberal when it comes to economic. is gone foreign policy. she does not want these engagements, which is an economic issue. we save a lot of money. ron paul is with you and at the same time that is thought to be a foreign affairs affairs issue. if you look at the american people, foreign policy does not rank towards the top. i don't remember the last time a president was elected on foreign policy. rep. gabbard: the most important job the president has is to serve as commander-in-chief and keep the american people safe. the qualifications and experience i bring to that job will best equip me to accomplish that mission. as you mentioned, too often foreign policy is relegated as two sides while there are many different domestic issues that many of the other candidates are bringing to the forefront. as ron paul stated, and i have stated many times come you cannot separate these issues, because as long as we spend trillions of our hard-earned taxpayer dollars on waging wasteful regime cha

>> i agree with tulsi gabbard at this point.i don't know if we want to put the troops on the ground. i don't know if juan guaidÓ want miles per hour troop amerie ground. but we don't want to remove the option or give, you know, any seption of emboldenment to the maduro -- any sense of emboldenment to the regime. we want to support juan guaidÓ and his movement. >> martha: do you think guaidÓ will prevail? >> it's clear he has the support of the people. it's clear people want their freedom. they want maduro gone. they want change. i think, i'm hopeful. i'm hopeful that it takes place. >> martha: so we played a clip before you came on of a protester who was yelling at you. at an appearance that you made. let's play that for everybody at home. >> it's for nazis and you should be ashamed of your service in afghanistan. it's an illegal war of aggression by the united states. you should be ashamed of yourself, not proud of your service. >> if you have to call somebody a nazi it's a good indicator you haven't thought through your argume

. >> shannon: we had tulsi gabbard with us. we had john delaney, who is running.d andrew yang and mary williamson. our doors open. we want to hear from people. but listen, if it ends up being joe biden, he is being smart about this. going to the states that democrats feel like they never should have laws. reconnecting with the union bosses and the workers there. >> the fact that they want to go into the number one rated cable news station, congratulations were having half a brain. that's pretty smart. congratulations that you want to go to states like california, michigan, wisconsin. i guess we'll give you a trophy for actually wanting to talk to voters. he is the problem. if you want to say the economy and pennsylvania got better after the worst recession we ever saw, if that's your talking point, go for it because here's what the voters of pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsin understand. the trump policies of lower taxes, less regulation, constitutionalist judges are actually giving people economic hope, and all the polls show it. look at the customer confide

candidates who served in america's longest wars in iraq and afghanistan, joining congresswoman tulsi gabbardnd congressman seth moult moulton. after five years of reserve duty, he deployed to afghanistan just as president obama was announcing a troop withdrawal. buttigieg was part of a unit assigned to identify and disrupt terror finance networks. it was largely a desk job at the bagram air base, but he also worked as a driver and armed escort. >> look, it's not like i killed bin laden, right? i don't want to overstate what my role was, but it certainly was something that was dangerous. you know, people that i knew, unfortunately, were attacked. >> do you think you would be able to make this run as credibly without this military service? >> well, i think at a moment when, obviously, people are looking for contrast, it helps me demonstrate the difference between how i'm oriented and how the current president is. >> reporter: jason mccrae still remembers the day he met buttigieg at their training in south carolina. he didn't know the man assigned to be his battle buddy was also an indiana mayo

attacks, fought for their country, and now we've seen a number of them in congress -- tom cotton, tulsi gabbard now we're seeing some of them run for president. they're very young, but they bring a certain amount of experience in an area that biden even at 74, bernie sanders, donald trump don't have. so they're going to make that argument as best they can. right now, again, i think we're hearing a lot more personal stuff about the candidates than actually hearing about their policy. one thing i thought was interesting was pete buttigieg did a town hall, and the host, actually, anderson cooper actually kind of ribbed him because he didn't have a single policy issue on his web site. and when pressed, mayor pete said, well, basically, i want to pack the supreme court and get rid of the electoral college. those issues, i don't think, are going to resonate with voters. but the perm connections -- and he's talked about his faith, those are less significant. jon: republicans have a tendency to take the sec place finisher of their presidential primary process and make that person the next nominee. demo

republicans and democrats like brian mast on the republican side and tulsi gabbard come together because they want to take care of their fellow troops. that's an example. maybe they can bring light to all this heat in washington and try to move us forward as a country, especially as other generations have. think about the world war ii generation, bob dole and frank lawsuitenburg working together maybe they can bring us inspiration. >> jon meacham, the sacrifice of military men and women are put in our face front and center, memorial day and coming up soon here on june the 6th which will be the 75th anniversary of d-day or go walk through washington, d.c., and you encounter the 58,000 names on the wall of vietnam memorial, those are moments where it rushes over you the commitment people have made, the sacrifice people have made for the country, but it feels like those are just spurts. how do we stay connected to our history and how do we make sure our children in the next generations understand what's gone in, going all the way back to the revolution, to making this country and to keeping

besides you and tulsi gabbard there aren't democrats running who have military experience. you enlisted at 26 or 27. >> around that. >> after grad school. >> yeah. >> why did you pick the navy? what was going on? >> there's always been a family military tradition but i always had an excuse for not serving at any particular moment. when i was in college i was in college. when i had the chance to stuldy overseas i was tied up in that though there were several americans at oxford dollar in my class of rhodes scholars who were graduates of the naval academy and i admired those people so much it made me think a little harder. the thing that put me over the edge was a campaign visit. i was knocking on doors as a volunteer for barack obama in very low income, rural counties in iowa, and was blown away by how many times i would knock on the door, talk to a young person on their way to basic training or to recruitment. i began to realize just how stark the class and regional divides had become that i could count on one hand the people i knew at a place like harvard who had gone on t
