for you in south carolina, you and i will have a tougher knch eer con next sunday morning. >> ali, i think i agree that there was some special sauce or something especially that my former boss and their campaign has done or did do. but let me tell you about joe biden. the reality is that voters in south carolina were not waiting on iowa or new hampshire to tell them what to do. voters in south carolina and black voters across the country. they really truly want to know if someone can win. they want to know if your plans are going to help put more money in their pockets and food on the table. black voters want to know you have a plan for health care and a plan for the economy because wages are stagnant in places across the country and, yes, gdp is up and in places like mississippi and missouri and places like alabama and wages are stagnant and still working two or three jobs and they have not seen that growth. they haven't seen that balance from the republican gop tax cut that the company saw. so, that is the reality that black voters across america and voters in general are dealing with, a

ali i. think you know that i find that there is no way. out people often say to make a wish my grandmother or for her like you know get your grandmother did join our benedict group. and you know we did have a victory for egging meant that the whole state i feel fortunate to still be alive and in relatively good health and a boat you know struggle. you can't do it alone you need community to do this sound that you can support one another and low fat head together. there's no getting around the fact that the site where vermont yankee exists on the banks of the connecticut river will remain as a high level nuclear radioactive waste dump endangering people for miles and miles and miles and miles around. in this toxic legacy and what has been created is not going to disappear and it will affect future generations for a long time to go. this is a technology that's fundamentally flawed i don't believe we should build a new nuclear power plant ever again and i think we should you know orderly manner shut down every nuclear power plant we've got. b

. >> i think that's right, ali. although the "time" article is not mine, i share those sentiments. i think the important thing for people to understand is that there should never be any politically motivated interference in the criminal justice system. the president can't use criminal prosecutions as a political tool to punish his perceived enemies and to help his friends. and the concern here is that is what we're seeing with this doj and it's worth pointing out that something that prosecutors take enormous care with is to avoid not just improper actions, but also the appearance of any impropriety. it is so critical that the country need to be able to trust the justice system that prosecutors will bend over backwards to avoid that appearance of impropriety and bill barr at a minimum has not done that. in fact, he's fueled the speculation that there is something amiss at doj. so, it's incumbent that he immediately stand up to correct that tweet from the president where the president claims the ability to meddle in criminal cases. >> let me ask you about something that bill barr said

you know, i don't think we want to go there actually, ali. i think we want to go, and i say we as sort of democrats, independents and anti-trump republicans, i think we need to have a unifying message and we need to come together and build an overwhelming coalition, majority to defeat donald trump and replace donald trump. we need somebody who, yes, like donald trump can leverage communications and social media effectively and really master that and be better on sort of marketing of their political ideas that are unifying, not divisive. but i think that's the key. if he's going to divide, we've got to unify. i think there's enormous power in that and we can do it. we did it in 2018 and the democrats took the house on that. we can do it again in 2020. >> shannon pettypiece, most of the democratic candidates, at least the major ones running, do not have a whole lot of space between them on policies that matter to democrats and/or independents, and yet what evan is saying is not happening in the democratic race. the fire is not focused on donald

ali, i think now the challenge for the campaign is to make sure last night is a starting point and not a high point for her campaign. i was talking to voters yesterday, they found her debate performance last friday to be compelling, they told me they were trying to decide between mayor pete and the senator of minnesota. that's a similar dynamic to see going forward. likewise, she is going to nevada tomorrow, fund raising in new york city tonight and their campaign essentially spending money as fast as they can possibly raise it for a couple of weeks here. they need to build out the infrastructure. she has the smallest footprint of any of the candidates on the ground in nevada and needs to change to be fully competitive there. they're going to try to take it one state at a time and don't have the resources to compete everywhere all at once but showing momentum in nevada, appealing to same union voters that vaughn was just talking about, they hope to continue to clear one bar after another to get through nevada, through south carolina and broaden her appeal nationally. she has the same p

ali. i think you asked her the right question. lot of folks watching the debate last night were asking why wasn't there more attention from senator sanders from the candidates because he's the front-runner as you so aptly pointed out. garrett haake, ali, vitali, thank you so much for great reporting. i'm joined now by two of the five moderators from last night's debate. jon ralston and msnbc analyst hallie jackson and chief white house correspondent usually here anchoring this hour, happens to be my good friend. good to see you. >> i have to say, thank you, kristen for stepping in. i've been battling laryngitis for three days but managed on the debate stage. thanks for stepping in. >> my pleasure and honor to do it. you muscled through it, gave a whole new meaning to road warrior. so strong and tremendous. congratulations to both of you. just tremendous debate last night. hal hallie, what was the takeaway. >> lester holt, our colleague, said it at the top of the show. he said we encourage you, candidates, to get in there and debat

>> i think that might happen, ali. only if he's elected, not if he's notinated. if he's elected i thought last friday was a dark day when all the republicans in the senate essentially rolled over and played dead except for mitt romney and said we'll quit this guy. we never heard any evidence and that never happened in american history and it was a sad day in terms of the checks and balances that the constitution pain stakingly put in place and they all got blown away in one day. i consider that a dangerous situation. >> governor, i'll see you in new hampshire tonight. thanks, always, for taking the time to have a conversation with us. former massachusetts governor, 2020 presidential candidate, the only republican candidate left standing against donald trump, governor bill weld. acquitted and empowered. >>> how is president trump dealing not only with his political opponents, but with an unprecedented number of regulations with no coherent strategy at all. the very real consequences behind donald trump's moves when my partner, stephanie ruhle joins us live from new

i don't think there was much argument. some people were obvious like mohammed ali. thurgood marshall was a favorite because i think his contribution to break the back of jim crow to travel dark roads and then to go into all white courtrooms and doing it under death threat is important to have that legal dimension while everybody else is out in the street protesting and doing a set in. think i argue for jesse jackson as a forerunner to barack obama who first set the idea it was possible and also as a great orator and inspiring many generations to have hope so there is a lot of debate people getting knocked down and dispirited. >> you are the co-author of a book on justice clarence thomas. was he considered quick. >> he was raised. as a supreme court justic justice, certainly a lot of people were raised we were mindful of not trying to make these choices based on ideology or factors that this person was is isolated to look at achievement and what was done in with 44 you are missing a lot of people. louis armstrong was another that was debated. the process was we don't

some people that i argued for i don't think there was much argument but i think some people were obvious. ali was an obvious one thurgood marshall was one of my favorites because i think sometimes their marshals contribution to breaking the back of jim crow through the legal system and traveling dark roads and really going into all-white courtrooms and really doing it on a death threat. it was really important to have the legal dimension while everybody what else was out on the streets protesting and doing citizens. he was one of my favorites to be on that list. i think i argued for jesse jackson and as a forerunner to barack obama and he kind of set the idea that it was possible. a lot of people didn't want to run for president and also is a great orator someone who inspired many generations that have hope and faith. there was a lot of debate. people were getting knocked down and it was very spirited. >> host: you are the co-author of the book on justice clarence thomas. was he considered for this "the fierce 44"? >> guest: as a supreme court justice he certainly was someone who was raised.

. >> ali, i think what happened in 2016 is the russians seeded disinformation campaigns on behalf of ins on both sides, and i think that's really what has fueled the supporters and on the sanders side you still hear people complaining about 2016 just as you do in trump events. what the russians seeded has become an organic process in the case of sanders, george washington university has reported a network of 2,800 facebook pages. 1843 facebook groups, amplified them and those are run by americans who are true believers in bernie sanders who may have at one time been motivated by russian input but which now operate totally independently. to me the really big things, i think americans have to step back and go wait a minute, are we going to determine who our elected officials are or not because i am personally disappointed in senator sanders for two things. one is not bringing up the fact that he's known about this for a month. in my mind, what did he think was going to happen. this is the kind of stuff that needs to be disclosed instantly, and same with president trump. the second issue

sysystematically violatedd, caug intense anxiety and on top of the e health effect he h has aly suffered, -- brent: i thinkple watching may be asking, considering julian assange chose to go to the ecuadorian assembly -- ecuadorian sm -- great embassy, can we talk about him being tortureded even though h he wast forced to be there? >> it is a fair question. if you look from the pererspecte of any asysylum seeker or refuge is voluntarily in his host state. it is not because it would be acceptable for him to go back. that is the problem. he was voluntarily at the endlessly. -- at the embassy. he was unable to leave without risking violations of his human rights. torture does n not necessarily mean pain-and-suffering in order to get information. the main purpose in the world of torture is intimidate others, supporters or j journalists who might b be publishing secret information. brent: this initiative we had earlier, how helpful do you think the senators of 130 politicians and celebrities, how helpfuful can they b be in the ? >> i thihink it is incncredibly helpful l see politicians, formerer politiciaians, h

i think, ali, if i had to characterize my own personal decision to sign off on this letter, it was acult decision but for that very reason that i see the rule of law being undermined, being compromised and i see attorney general barr as the driving force behind the undermining of the one institution in our society that's most responsible for preserving the rule of law. he simply fundamentally misunderstomi misunderstands or hijacked the role of attorney general. he's not america's attorney. he has become trump's attorney and it's very dangerous. >> a misunderstanding or deliberate? >> well, i think the evidence is now clear. the first clue as governor weld said is when he auditioned for the job. so, you have the president's calling for his next roy cohn and barr raises his hand and says, i want to be that guy. the next clue when he recognized the mueller findings in the special counsel inquiry report and keeps saying no collusion. no obstruction when that was simply not the findings. fast forward and we see the roger stone sentencing recommendation and we see he has wrestled that awa

ali. and i think we should pierce the myth once and for all tonight that donald trump is somehow pro military. let's look at the facts. first he began his adult life getting military deferments from vietnam including one for nonexistent bone spurs. as a presidential candidate he launched his campaign denigrating a gold star family. the family of captain khan. he then criticized john mccain for being a p.o.w. when he became president, he went down to the pentagon and excoriated the generals for being, quote, dompes and babies in the tank, in the meeting room where the joint chiefs meet. he then ignored military advice in syria, leading to a break with his own secretary of defense, the former cent com commander jim mattis. he suspended military exercises in korea to basically reward one dictator and then undermined nato, the greatest military alliance in the world, to in essence reward another dictator. and here tonight, he fires and dismisses a man who served in uniform, who served his country honorably, i think as the congressman said, to say to everybody else stay silent, stay quiet because

ali, elizabeth warren, i think got an event behind you.ing to make the case to people she is the best candidate to beat donald trump. what is the point she is putting forward to have voters convinced of that? >> reporter: first of all, ali, i'll speak at a golf whisper because we're do the q&a portion and every single candidate out with them in the last few months trying to make the case they're the best positioned to beat donald trump. elizabeth warren is making the new riff of how she's won unwinnable fights and started with a personal narrative of always wanting to be a teacher. she has an uphill battle and managed to go to college and get a degree and become a teacher. nest fight begun laying out is 2012 senate race, against an incumbent republican. and finally, she's talking about next fight now be against donald trump. i want to play for you a moment that happened just a few minutes ago on stage because it speaks to the climate on the ground here, a lot of people wondering after the third place finish in iowa how elizabeth warren fro

i think -- >> host: all your choices get picked? >> guest: no, they didn't. some people i argued for -- wasn't much argue. but ali. some people were obvious, ali was an obvious one. thurgood marshall is one of my favorite because times thurgood marshall's contribution to really breaking the back of jim crow, through the legal system and traveling dark roads and really going into all white courtrooms and really doing it under death threats, it was really important to have the legal dimension, while everybody else was out in the streets and protesting and doing sitins. so, he was one of my favorites to be on the list. argued for jesse jackson as a forerunner to president obama and he kind of first set the idea it was possible. a lot of people didn't want to run for president, and as as a great orator and someone who is inspired many generations to have hope and faith. so, there was a lot of debate. people were getting knocked down and added on, and it was very spirited. >> host: you're the cao author of a book on justice clarence thomas. was he considered for this fierce 44? >> guest: yeah, he was raised, too, and a

. >> back to your question about the hard-liners takeover iran, i think ali is basically right. s long as there is only pressure to pull down the regime, it's not going to amount to much in one of the things that i would like to see is a better articulated and more consensus u.s. foreign policy on iran itself because when i see, when i saw what i was in the administration and still see is divided opinions. some people are hoping that economic pressure on iran will cause the collapse of the regime, the islamic republic will fall and something else will come in its place but it can't be as bad. others are looking for specific changes to iranian policies which are critical to u.s. interest in our allies, nuclear weapons, crews, missiles support for our proxies and the strategies for these two are entirely different but i think we are kind of mixing this all in together. i'm not confident, every once in a while, i wonder how easy iran is going to be to negotiate with, i pull out my copy of the united constitution and read the preamble which is anti american and talks about exporting

>> reporter: i think ali laid it out well. it is clear everyone is going to go after bloomberg.g time, we wondered how bloomberg will stand up to a lot of the scrutiny here. we got the beginning of an answer. moving forward, a lot of campaigns are thinking about him as still a big threat, he obviously hasimagine. but at the same time, they don't see him as being the one to beat any more. obviously that's still bernie sanders. but when you look at someone like elizabeth warren, she still feels good here. i think moving forward, she's going to have a case to make, whether it is here in nevada, moving forward in south carolina, she made the case last night she is not to be ignored. >> everybody wanted to see if michael bloomberg could make that case for himself as opposed to hundreds of millions in ads he has been running. i thought it was stunning how he didn't have strong answers to questions. he absolutely knew they were coming on race, sexism, on nondisclosure agreements, on tax returns. but i guess one answer, the question we don't know the answer to now is are those the issue

>> reporter: yeah, ali, so in the campaign shake-up genre i think what we are seeing today with the announcement of the campaign manager schultz that dunn taking on an expanded role in the campaign headquarters, this is just above the sort of cosmetic changes but far from wholesale cleaning house in terms of the campaign but an important signal from the campaign as you say in a really precarious moment for the candidacy of accountability for what happened here. anita dunn with an expansive role in this campaign primarily in the debate prep arena and then looks like a potentially a slap on the wrist of greg schultz with the former vice president since 2012. he's been much of a nuts and bolts organizing and field expert and i think given what we saw in iowa with failures in the organization there's a recognition that he needs to maybe devote more time to that specific area of the campaign and allow for other voices to have a bigger role and the elevation of anita dunn as someone primarily involved in debate prep she i think is behind the more aggressive tone from the former vice president. just th

now, i think ali rightly points out because of everything that happened, the chaos that was the iowa caucus this year, what would normally happen in terms of a bump for her overperforming maybe didn't happen the way folks would expect. but what i have seen out there is that she is resonating very much with voters, and she's doing that, and the clip i think you played is a good representation of that, because she is the candidate that can unify the democratic party in a way we need to if we're going to beat donald trump. i think she can do two things we need to do. number one, she has a strong track record of appealing to working-class voters. she can get michigan and pennsylvania. she can do a second thing, and better than any other candidate, excite a broad coalition of people of diverse backgrounds, to go get states like florida and compete in states like arizona and texas and georgia. we're going to need to do both, and she's the best candidate i think can do it. >> with all due respect, she herself said tight three-way race. i don't want to litigate that. we have moved on. we are

. >> juan: i'm a big fan of boxing, i may be i'm featured on the hbo documentary ali's life. take a look. i do not thinkciate what it means to be heavyweight champion of the world. at this moment, i can't tell you the heavyweight champion of the world. if i were to get on this page up and go back on 1963, everybody knows they heavyweight champion of the world. director robert pater focuses the whole documentary on the interaction between available on hbo now, hbo gold, and on demand. take a look. >> jesse: juan on hbo. i'm impressed. kennedy? >> kennedy: valentine's day is tomorrow. i make up my mind's mission to make a perfect chocolate chip cookie, and i have a perfect chocolate chip cookie. look at these bad boys! hello, mommy! yeah! double top they are vegan, no cholesterol, made with almond flour, coconut flour, extra dark chocolate chips, coconut sugar, bash them altogether. i will put the recipe on twitt twitter. >> jesse: "special report" is up next. he >> bret: hey, jesse. have the best food always. breaking tonight, a public break between the president and his top law enforcement official. onc

i think ali is basically right. so long as there is only pressure to pull down the regime, it will not amount to much. is thing i would like to see a better articulated and more consensus u.s. foreign policy on iran itself. see issaw and still divided opinions. some people are hoping that economic pressure on iran will create a cause of the regime. the islamic republic will fall into something else will come in its place but it cannot be as bad. some are looking for changes in iranian policies. ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, support for proxies. these strategies for these two are different, but i think we are mixing them all up together. i am not confident -- whenever i think about how easy iran will be to negotiate with, i pull up the iranian constitution and read the preamble, which is anti-american. they talk about supporting the oppressed of the world against the oppressors. there's a lot in the basis of the iranian state, which supports a radical iranian policy. my -- can a more conservative government

>> i think absolutely, ali. we are seeing right now, already here in san francisco where i am, you know, the mayor yesterday declared a city wide state of emergency to prepare and there have been no reported cases here in san francisco yet but trying to get ready. business is the place to start think about getting ready. the kinds of gatherings and travel and events that take place in business cause it to be one of the greatest vectors of communicable diseases in the world and looking at apple reaction and h&m tacking abolki quarterly earnings but people are moving that move disease. business travel on airplanes is 12% of total bookings and business travel on airplanes is 75% of profitability on some flights so we're talking here about the mixed incentives. we are supposed to somehow stay home and osha has had regulations since 1970 saying if you work in a big box retailer or where you are in direct contact with sick people then here are the rules to follow. we have these other mixed incentives with a culture of

i think we have ali vitali with us there covering elizabeth warren's campaign. we talked about the polls certainly showing bernie sanders with the movement in his direction in the last few weeks . there's not perfect overlap here between sanders and warren supporters but certainly this is some overlap. is there concern in the warren campaign that sanders' might come at their expense? >> reporter: i think if you look in the polls you'll see that, yes, elizabeth warren's support does overlap with bernie sanders. she's someone who's really stood arm in arm with him. we regularly talk about them as the two progressive senators in this race. as much as their support comes from the same lane, it does also come from other places in the party. she's the second choice of voter who voters who say they support other candidates. she's out here on the road today, finally back from washington on the campaign trail in iowa, making a pitch that she's the one to unify the party and using the names of people who have dropped out of that race already, noting she's found people who

. >> when you don't mention his name in the answer i think he is giving you the view there. thank you, josh. alieel like the elizabeth warren campaign is going, what's going on here? i finished third! >> reporter: yeah, there is a little bit of that i think but at the sa imtime those are the stakes that they set for themselves as they were flying in to new hampshire from iowa. elizabeth warren staked a place and on the not top spot because i think the team was getting the picture on the ground that the party didn't have the results she certainly knew what direction she was going. we often talk about three tickets out of iowa. i feel like warren came here to new hampshire with iowa in the rear-view mirror simply starting to focus on new hampshire and hoping to churn out enough support here. neighboring senator. here name is bandied around for a while and a little more expectation coming in here for her as someone around these parts for longer than some of the others in the rest of the field. that being said, you mentioned that we are getting to sort of an uglier part of the primary. elizabeth war

ali vitale in manchester, maura barrett in des moines. take us where you are. how are candidates going to recover from the rough start in iowa? >> reporter: i think all of us are trying to recover from a rough start in iowa. maura next to me is still in iowa. that's how you know something went wrong at the start of primary season. look, this state of new hampshire is really important for everyone not named pete buttigieg or bernie sanders. both those two candidates were able to claim some victory out of iowa. you are seeing it in the polling bumps and dollar signs, both putting up big numbers. pete buttigieg in the few days following iowa caucus, bernie sanders at $25 million for all of january. for the rest of the field, really history looms over new hampshire. it has been a state that's been a game changer for candidates before. it is hard to win the nomination if you haven't placed, history would tell you, in iowa or new hampshire. clearly the pressure on. someone like joe biden who really underperformed in iowa didn't even campaign in the state yesterday. elizabeth warren who overperformed the former vice president, when i asked her a questio

think he's been curious enough? >> i'm hoping he's looking but i tell you what, so far i don't think it's sufficient to say i disassociate myself. >> nbc news political reporter aligas. tell me what's the ground game looking like for buttigieg and sanders? >> reporter: look, when you become the front runner, along with that comes expectations and higher stakes for pete buttigieg and bernie sanders. they're rolling into nevada with both of those after being the two candidates to place atop iowa and new hampshire. they're not coming in with decisive victories but they are coming in with front runner status. you see the way attack are coming at them from joe biden and others in the field. eyes are on them to see how they're going to do. in terms of ground game, they are two of the candidates who spent the most time, second and third to tom steyer who has been spending time and money on the air waves. pete buttigieg doubled his ground game staff on the ground. bernie sanders invested early. they each have two separate questions to answer on the ground here. you got into a little bit the back and forth between bernie sanders and the local union here, culinary 226. tha

prices efficient that's why we want efficient pricing and this would make pricing ali l bit little bit less efficient >> i thinkng to recognize there is upg ten basis points is going to fundamentally restructure trading. i think your goi're talking abo1 on a $10 million trade if i have the math right again, jimmy, one thing. you cannot find any tax anywhere that doesn't have some kind of a an impact. i think this one is tiny >> i think we need to understand the trade offs and we don't fully understand the trade offs. to me, h isn't even the biggest thing in the plan which could triple capital requirement that's mass i. >> the financial companies would have to hold so i want to get out of world of elasticity and efficiency is the right thing and all of that very interesting stuff that you guys understand and cut to the chase here and my question for both of you is can we believe that mr. bloomberg believes this in his bones. because he was against a lot of the regulations that were promulgated after the financial crash in 2007, '08 can you believe him or is this another moment of bloomberg being expedient? jimmy

parties in this election couldn't get along with each other i think it actually pays very plays very well into the taliban hands at this point. ali the t.v. thank you. one of pakistan's most prominent government critics is being threatened with trumped up charges of terrorism. speaks truth to power against the country's military and has gone after the prime minister in wrong khan and his relationship with the generals she's in self-imposed exile and she joins us now from the u.k. school does this threat from pakistan's federal investigation agency surprise you and how serious is this. yes it was not just surprising it was actually very shocking i got the news from breaking news and but. they have summoned me and will judge me with terrorism and. you know she's my properties and extradite me and this is all an extremely shocking and a few days after that it all sort of rolled out to the u.k. got managed to downing street and home office and put in office and it just for peach are not on for pages long necked which asks the u.k. government to slap me with heat speech judges and debits and charges according to the news reports. beca

we don't need somebody who has the same kind of sizzle as president trump, i think we need a different approach. >> reporter: aliine events here in the last few days in new hampshire, currently inside of this union hall here in merrimack, new hampshire. very crowded inside and several dozen folks unable to get in. we couldn't get in either but this is pete buttigieg here not only was he in new hampshire today he's on "the view" and up with stephanie in new york yesterday and planning to be running around the state here in the days ahead and, you know, pete buttigieg was proud to say and pretty much every interview to date here in new hampshire that folks are skeptical about whether he could win against donald trump. he said, hey, there's been an election to date and he did pretty dang well in it. ali? >> talk about joe biden. he was very clear, vaughn, that iowa was a gut punch. and there's some reporting of the frustration about how the biden campaign worked in iowa. but at this point, even the polling for new hampshire does not show him in the top spot there. what's going on in the biden come pain? >> reporter

ali think that it is not a question- i don't know mike milken, but he certainly did chan american financeey called him the junk-bond ng. judy: just to get -- >> just to get back to roger stone, it is hard to think of somebody fewer redeeming qualities. esthe ent has surrounded himself with shady characters and roger stone is the most shady. judy: and this is the third individual considered close to the president who has been sent off tot prison, time when there's a lot of focus onid what the prt can do. he has the power to commute sentences, to pardon people, and at the end of the clinton administration, there was a flurry. >> just one thing about the democrats. the democrats, after that debate, are in danger of there is a page in american histor, the revolutionists sought the active alliance with the king of france and charles the third in spain, monarchies, help them. but they had a similar objective, to defeat the king of england, the monarch. the democrats, they better come tother in a hurry. their sole purpose in 2020 is to defeat the monarch, to defeat donald trump. judy: we hear yo

i think it has shifted raer quickly. my question with this alys is, where are the resources going? who has funding? who has agency inside the organization's for there to be a meaningful ship in ch in the world at large i thin would mean revisiting the business model. it would mean revisiting who actually is able to relinqsh power and who is willing to relinquish power. right now there are not incentives for that so people ibare doing incr hard work. >> fothank you coming in. >> thank you for having me. >> >>> classes of champagne and decadent desserts with chocolat restaurant reservations we booked weeks in advance. s this valentine'day why not spice things up by wiking dumplingth fillings that appeal to the pickiest pallets are making pasta from scratch with flour, butter, and i -- of culinary adventure? joing me now is this food editor from sunset magaze. thank you for coming in. let's start by getting personal. full disclosure, valentine's day was the first date with my husband 20 years ago. we really go out because it's such a thing. let's start with you. where do you stand on

i think the next few weeks decide the future of the country. >> reporter: ali, it's been about a decade since michael bloomberg is on a debate stage and never had to debate in a situation quite like this before with six candidates on the stage. campaign officials say he is huddling with the advisers going through mock rehearsals as well as trying to come up with concise ways to explain the policies he's been rolling out as well as how to best litigate the case against president trump. >> shaq brewster, there's all sorts of people focusing on bloomberg but bernie sanders is on a similar trajectory, opened up the lead over the nearest opponent on a national level so there's an element of this is targeted at bernie sanders, as well, including coming from michael bloomberg. >> reporter: that's right. the campaign has said, hey, senator sanders at the center of many of the debates for sometime. we have heard over and over the extended conversations of medicare for all and the costs associated with it, the complaints of the cloenollege f all. the campaign says they're ready for that and ready

he will be surpassing mohammed ali's 11 fight world title winning streak if he can win this fight. and there is so much at stake. i don't thinknk he will land that mega shot somewhere between round one and round 12 and it will be very exciting. david thanks forjoining us on exciting. david thanks forjoining us on bbc news. i have spoken to a lot of journalists. you us on bbc news. i have spoken to a lot ofjournalists. you can make a strong case for either man winning by the good thing is we are just over a8 hours before we find out the a nswer to over a8 hours before we find out the answer to that question to who the better man is. thank you to both for that. i cannot wait for that fight. some other sports stories making headlines today... uefa has apologised for a technical mistake which left hundreds fans hoping to go to this summer's european football championship out of pocket. fans who thought they secured tickets, then also bought flights and accomodation were later told their ticket transactions were cancelled. great britain's alex danson has retired from international hockey, due to long—term concussion. danson, who w

i think that will be. available by the end of this month ok mohammed ali in beirut do you agree with that analysis that there's got to be a hard response against bashar al assad to do with it live if only because according to the u.n. and i quote the violence is now indiscriminate so in that sense it seems to be a scorched earth policy. this has been assad's policy since the very beginning of the conflict the scorched earth policy has been exactly what he has done in aleppo before and also on hamas this is you know this is the assad regime modus operandi along with its allies russia and iran and syria i think the you know turkey definitely faces a an existential question regards to the humanitarian crisis when the if if assad's forces supported by russia continue to advance we will see even a worse humanitarian catastrophe another refugee crisis which i don't think turkey is capable of handling and i think you know this will have repercussions on the international community specifically europe which how to deal with turkey a while ago on managing the refugee crisis i think the next phase is also about maintain

i think people doubted that it would work. but i think thanks to our audience, thanks to people like you at fox 2, ali and all of the team over that have supported a show like ours we made it to our 1000th episode and i love the fact that ellen made it clear that so many shows have come and gone and we shouldn't take >> you had a spe the show yesterday. how surprised were you to see ellen degeneres come on and is a legend and personally? a queen in talk, you know. so not only did she come to celebrate with usdropped some gems of her own and even to reflect back to her first episode at a trying time for her, i loved that intimate moment she shared with us and all of our fans out there. it made us to remember back how much we have gone through. the clip is on our i.g. right now, the five minutes of just getting our most moments and i was talking with pam today that, you know, we not only talk about stories out there. we are actually exposing our personal lives as well. that's a very different take from other talk show hosts out there. and so when we look at it, we go through a range of emotions because we are like, oh, my god,

ali. >> thomas, i was talking to my producers about this and trying to think of where in recent history companies had this experience. 9/11, mostly a security fortification issue. if there's an attack. when have we had any experience with what could be a protracted, long-term shift in people's behavior about how they interact with each other, where they go and spend the time and how we work? >> there have been episodes in the past. 9/11 is a good example of that. you mentioned in response to swine flu, in 2009. there was communication depending on where you were around sars. in 2003. there was communication, as well. what is different about this particular outbreak is how widespread it is. again, we are really looking at something at this point in 47 countries. and it's expanding rapidly beyond that so the scope of what it might be affecting is what's different from the past and again without having a better idea of whether this is mild, moderate or severe, the information from china now is concerning that this could be something more deadly than what we saw with h1n1. >> thank you. >>>

ali, with an important qualification. let's first look at the record, because i think that that is what we're going to hear and that's what's state of the union. we're going to hear about the longest expansion in the history of the u.s., including growth rates in 2019 that were double that of europe. we're going to hear about record unemployment rates, not only overall, but also for segments of society. and we're going to hear about record levels for the stock market. we're not going to hear about a $1 trillion deficit, not going to hear about massive injection of liquidity, and not going to hear about monthly trade deficits of $50 billion. but the key issue is whether the people listening are still insecure or not. and the average american is insecure for two reasons. one, the growth is still not inclusive enough. and two, don't ignore what the coronavirus will do to the global economy and how worried people will be about their own situation. i think you're going to get a very mixed reaction, and the key issue is whether people look back or look forward. >> let's talk about your point one. growth is not inclusive enough. t

think will happen tomorrow? >> well, ali, thank you for having me on this afternoon. ia strong joe biden supporter and like to say hello to the first lady of new york city because i used to be the first lady of florence, south carolina. a much smaller venue and i know from knocking on over 80 doors in florence on sunday what's going to happen. there's going to be what we're viewing here as a landslide victory for joe biden. everyone that i talked to out of 80 homes was either biden supporter or on the fence slisl committed side and then they said they would vote for joe. >> of course, joe biden comes with different experience having been the vice president during critical incidents. there's conversation and real criticism of how donald trump handling this, handing it over to mike pence to be in charge, a guy that didn't think needle exchanges were effective in stopping the transmission of diseases, provably false. how would joe biden be addressing a very fearful nation this evening? >> i think what he would do first and foremost is he would focus on the truth over the l

so i think that trump is --um president is very ali to the elements elevision, mass media, and he dd hear the a -- he did gear the address toward those realities. >> woodruff: calyn lukensmeyer, as somebody wh looks at political discourse, political division, what does this moment say do yu thi about our political -- about tho bodyitic? >> well, i think what we've seen, judy, over the last really more than four years but intensely in the last three or four is that what started out at hyperpartnership in congress is now like a virus that's gone across the country. an we have now embedded it, as o michael said, e of the traditions of our democcy that was intended to bring everyone together. so the potential for this becoming even worse during what we all expect to be a quite vicious 2020 campan is of high concern in terms of how we can as americans deal with the tifferences that are now so wri large. >> woodruff: so michael, as somebody who thinks about american history a lot, inhe past when we have had these kinds of divisions, w have americans dealt with it? >> well, one of two ways.

i think that the government of the u.s. in the media have some responsibility for their economic ali. in the one china's economy. is going to war. for a slowdown in one more tour it brings far more uncertainty to grow bored. he called on me in the coming months you know and i thought since we do not know when this outbreak we eventually disappear and then the it also and the. fact of i'm so 22 to grow the economy you know this could really impact the world economy could affect the gross domestic product of many countries certainly it will affect china's but certainly many others that trade with china you know it could even have an impact on the u.s. on the u.s. stock market and again on the u.s. gross domestic product will have to see you know how that turns out. and while some politicians come up conspiracies on the virus some businesses are making a questionable i mean how to break details after that. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only. exists i don't see how it will be successful. if you sit down and talk. welcome

i have a question about ali bargain outfit. >> yes there was an -- -- a sad man, a sad death, mr. butler who ran the company and i just thinksn't -- i know he wouldn't want me to say that. but he was the company and i'm not recommending it. let's go to alex in california thank you. what is up >> caller: i'm curious of the recent purchase of habit i want to know if it is a buy, sell or hold. >> that was a very bad pizza hut quarter and the stock reversed after i went over the credit card i did not get encourage add at all that there is a turn any time soon. to mark in california. mark >> happy birthday kbuia, jim. >> booyah. thank you. >> caller: i'm sure you know here in california the electrocute ilt has been shutting off the power grids preemptively due to fire danger. it affected a lot of homes and businesses often for days at a time i live in the mountains so i bought an emergency back-up generator from jenner acand after talking to the installer i also bought the stock. >> i think you're right to do that i felt that i'm like you in an area where the power goes out way too frequently and debated doing it and getting one

i will be able to unify the party." >> thank you for that. nbc correspondent ali vitali is traveling with elizabeth warren in indianola. i think i've finally gotten the pronunciation of that name. >> reporter: while mike is asking joe biden about uniting the party, that's the closing pitch elizabeth warren has been making on the campaign trail. over several stops yesterday, we saw signs that used to say i am a warren democrat swapped out for signs that say, she can unite the party. optically it's the right pitch because a lot of democratic voters, 70% in our last poll, say their top priority is beating donald trump. they know they'll need party unity and high turnout. warren making that pitch for that reason. but there's also a reason strategically. one of her campaign aides told me when they look at people they've identified in iowa who will caucus for her, of those people who caucused in 2016, it's a 50/50 split if they caucused for bernie sanders or hillary clinton in 2016. so it's really no use for contrasting hard against bernie sanders. that's why she's making a unity pitch. listen to how she made it yesterday. >> i also
