. >> who hired jill stein? >> his name rhymes with vladimir putin. >> is tulsi gathered the new jill stein? >> jill stein with better hair. >> i know there are republicans who text you or talk to you and you hear their secrets. >> i use to hear more. when the house got blown out a lot of people who were talking to me who had given up on life anyway were gone. a few folks call me and i to the republican father confessor thing. i put the phone down and scream in my backyard like i cannot believe you - you know. >> i would sleep a lot better at night if i knew you were talking to some democrats. are you talking to any democrats and are they listening to you? >> yes. >> my question is what happens to republicans after trump? i think there will be hell to pay, a big power vacuum and i see it almost getting worse when that happens. >> trumpism doesn't scale. all these people who abandoned everything they stand for, they can't go back. let's say tomorrow donald trump drops dead at the heart attack. tomorrow he drops d

clinton when she without naming her went out to talk together and also went after our candidate jill stein and without any evidence that the russians in retook consider gruman to 3rd party candidate so i expect to be called the russian after so it's oh it's ok how we because these people don't deal in the world the facts i do lee what is the fascination with joe biden i mean with bernie sanders us on the face of it i mean the small donations he gets he is not reliant on the d.n.c. i mean what is it what's wrong with these people do you want to weigh in or not because sometimes and i've said this before on my program it's i get the feeling they dissed abas but democrats would prefer to lose to trump than have bernie wayne go ahead lee yeah i think you're absolutely right they would they prefer trump to win because trump at the end of the day still represents corporate america and wall street i mean he claims that means one point i disagree with you on that he's authentic i think he is more of a populist and he will call up the system unlike your average republican but in terms of being auth

in a call you a russian asset that happened to our previous green party presidential candidate jill stein recently yeah you'll recall when she without naming her went out to tulsa gabbert also went after our candidate jill stein and without any evidence said the russians and the republicans are groom and a 3rd party candidate well so i expect to be called a russian asset yeah i get so it's oh it's ok howie because these people don't deal in the world the facts i do. ok lee what is the fascination with joe biden i mean. bernie standards on the face of it i mean the the small donations he gets even though he's not reliant on the d.n.c. i mean what is it which was wrong with these people do you want to win or not because sometimes and i've said this before on my program it's i get the feeling they just abolition democrats would prefer to lose to trump than have bernie win go ahead lee yeah i think you're absolutely right they would they prefer trump to win because trump at the end of the day still represents corporate america and wall street i mean he claims i mean there's one point i disagr

caller: jill stein.his year i want to go on record , they are going to give us hillary versus trump again. he is the modern-day version of mr. reagan. there are some astute characters who call in and i am grateful for them. host: if the nominee is bernie sanders, if he is doing well so far, would you then vote? caller: bernie sanders is just another player in the game. is adeep somewhere, there whole story about bernie sanders. i would like to hear a program on the virus going on. i think that would be appropriate. thanks. host: we did talk about it a couple weeks ago. you may already know, it is making the front pages of the papers. strain asnomy shows ands takes a toll in italy iran. president trump is traveling, he is in india. he and the first lady are visiting the taj mahal after he joint statements. we will talk about the schedule and what is happening in congress coming up on the washington journal. we are talking about a new that americans that are eligible to vote did not vote and why not. if yo

question yeah well we saw what happened in 2016 a lot of them didn't vote a lot of them voted for jill stein. a lot of vote voted for the the libertarian gary johnson some of them held their nose and voted for hillary clinton although sanders had had a bad mouth her all the way through the convention in 2016 what will happen this time around i think that's a big open question it's a reason frankly that the other democratic candidates today. they don't expose bernie sanders for being an unreconstructed socialist which the united states is not a popular position to talk about nationalizing as he has telecommunications and banks and railroads and you name it that's generally not a popular position in a capitalist democracy ok so but will his supporters be so offended if he doesn't get the nomination that they'll sit on their hands or will they vote for whoever the democratic nominee is because they don't like trump i think that's an open question he's a moment a lot of support of the less rich a good staying democratic political consultant not a former advisor to the hillary clinton presidentia

it, it is going to be disastrous for whoever the nominee is because they sat at home, voted for jill steininds of things in 2016. >> kennedy: they voted for trump, some of them. >> capri: made these grandiose assertions that hillary clinton and donald trump are the same person. >> sean: they took away the superdelegates, nonelected delegates. only on the first ballot. i know everyone loves to talk about contested and brokered convention but with the amount of candidates in the democratic field, the amount of money they have, there is a real possibility of a number of them going forward to the convention. you need 50% and the thing that's going to be really the ft is done, the dnc will call those superdelegates back in and when that happens in our minds are going to get blown because that is when the feelings of 2016 will come back exponentially. >> kennedy: a lot of the superdelegates are elected officials, that's what mike bloomberg is counting on, that no one will meet that threshold after the first ballot and he can essentially promise money to anyone running. that's why he has more con

supporters not support hillary clinton, you saw people throw away a vote on a third party candidate like jill steinthat's what's impactful with swing left and other organizations are doing. they're not only organizing for the general, but to people in deep blue states sitting around, don't have a lot of doors to knock on, they'll make sure that state is obviously going to vote for the democratic nominee like california, they're saying let's go into some of the purplish areas where your impact and support can change the outcome. you know, look, i worked on a number of campaigns, chris, where we have not had enough volunteers, we're in areas there are so many competitive races that you have volunteers stretched too thin. if you take people in california which is deep blue and put them in places like arizona, put them in places like nevada to an extent, you can change the race. that's why it is so important what swing left is doing and glad they're highlighting the good work. >> they're going to take people from new york, put them in pennsylvania. the other thing about this, eugene, i think, is that t

jill stein took 31,000.people who showed up. >> and this year -- >> oh, i -- i also someone tweeted about tulsi gabbard and i forgot she was in the race and still actually is running? >> i believe so, yes. >> i don't know if that's tulsi gabbard in the general. i just think it always points to me this group of people who are committed enough to get up and vote. they got up and voted tuesday or before that, i don't know if wisconsin has early vote the and went and voted for jill stein. that means there are group and pockets of liberals. i do sometimes wonder, is that enough to sort of take a bernie sanders over the edge, or will you turn off so many other people that it doesn't matter? i mean, there's lots -- jen pointed out, lots of factors here, and in those small, small margins in florida, wisconsin and pennsylvania, any one of those things can be an issue. any one of those things could help the democrat, too. >> charlie, let me ask you the question on the other side of the equation there. could a strong l

she was a russian agent and also jill stein. i never met the woman. a green party candidate or was. they said she is an agent of russia. i don't know her and i don't know tulsi. the only thing i know about both of them is they are not agents. they are not agents of russia. these people are sick. that is pencil neck, little pencil neck. i see it again. i was told it was happening. i was told a week ago. you know they're trying to start a rumor. it is disinformation. that is the only thing they are good at. they get nothing done. do-nothing democrats. putin wants to make sure i get elected? listen to this. doesn't he want to see who the democrats are going to be? wouldn't he rather have bernie? .ho honeymooned in moscow wouldn't that be? these people are crazy. that is all they think about. they don't think about the country. they don't think about jobs. they don't think about lowering costs, infrastructure. these people are crazy. trust me, i like what we are doing and i love this country. i love this country. [cheers and applause] pres. trump: now, an

jill stein or the form a lot skin senator mike crivello to remain in the contention and debate.y are fighting a futile battle because if you look at opinion polls down the ages spectrum, once he gets to be below 40 years old, support for sanders is absolutely overwhelming. i think this is an epic generational struggle that is taking place right now before our very eyes and the question is who is the economy four. who is our political four. that you are essentially not delivered to but russian sort of groomed you to be in much of the distractor the hillary clinton claimed you work to rob her and certainly in these battleground states that what did you think when you read that. dr. jill: i thought it was prosperous and hysterical. i was thoroughly investigated by the senate intelligence committee with whom i turnover all of my communications and was extensively interviewed by. and they had absolutely zero to follow up on. this is the clinton campaign. essentially trying to justify that it has lost to a game show host. and this is the smear they throw up against all of their oppone

saying hillary clinton lost by 77,000 votes if they just increased african-american turnout or jill steinn't received the votes maybe bernie would have won, for example. so you're having a different discussion about who is most electable but what electable means which clouds the whole picture of how the primary may play out. >> who risks having to drop out after new hampshire, whether it is from lack of votes, you know, standing in the polls or running out of money? >> well, we've got several candidates that are going to move forward regardless. you have joe biden, of course who's looking forward to that south carolina and nevada, more diverse voter blocks that typically have supported him a bit more. bernie sanders, of course. elizabeth warren all have the money to keep moving on into the next couple of states. toward super tuesday. the question you asked is a good one, about who is going to see their money dry up if the they don't do well on tuesday. that's going to make it hard for anybody to run a meaningful, national campaign if they don't have the funding to go forward. so i would s

many sanders supporters not voting for clinton, either sitting out or going to jill stein, or gary johnsonme going over to donald trump. after four years of trump in the white house, i think most democrats believe that regardless of who the nominee is, they will support the nominee. when i was in iowa, i was talking to a bunch of sanders supporters and i was asking them if bernie sanders does not win the nomination, let's say it is joe biden or michael bloomberg, would you support them? not all said yes. there are tough feelings, but democrats do not want to repeat history again. host: comment about iowa and new jersey on twitter from patrick who treats, iowa and new hampshire are relics of the past trying to resist the changing demographics of the u.s. what you say about that? years, iowa four and new hampshire have to put up a fight to keep up their status. here is the argument here and in iowa, when you take the first ,our contests in their entirety new hampshire which is predominantly caucasian, and then add vat at which has a large latino population, and south carolina where the major

you worry, as chairman, as somebody who has dealt with the sanders team, some of whom voted for jill steinl be civil war in the democratic party? >> you know what, everybody understands -- what is different than 2020, there's a lot of ptsd about 2016. >> i think everyone has that. >> you know what is different about 2020? donald trump and the existential threat to our nation. every single one of the candidates on the debate stage for the nbc/msnbc debate the other night is ahead of donald trump head-to-head in the "washington post" polling, quinnipiac polling from a week ago. we understand this is not about any one candidate. >> but does everyone understand that? i understand you're saying that, but the senator is saying, who is an independent, he is an independent and still is a registered independent, as far as we know, he is saying this morning, in his own twitter feed, under his own name, that the democratic establishment will not stand in his way. essentially sort of kicking to the curb 65 million people who voted for hillary clinton, obama democrats, people who consider themselves li
