the way back to richard nixon. they all promised energy independence from richard nixon to ford to carter, reagan, bush, clinton, bushut the only person who has actually supported the endeavors of the oil and gas industry is the current administration. while there are many things about the current administration that raise questions in my mind, and some disdain for the behaviors we see, i think the policies are making a major difference in the notion of energy security in the united states. guy: you think you could band fracking? only with economic collapse as a consequence. why do i say that? if we stop rapping by some government -- if we stop fracking by some government yet, the price of oil would skyrocket good i am talking six to seven dollars a gallon if we stop fracking. it would immediately lead to major declines in oil production and we do not have an alternative to the internal combustion engine, whether it is for personal transportation, whether it is for freight, marines, the turbines for aircraft. an administration comes in and thinks they will be all-powerful and condemn or stop the use of technology, wh

if you look at the government shutdowns under the carter administration, reagan administration, clinton administration, the lapse in funding impacted people's lives and we don't want federal employees to be held hostage to the inability of congress and the executive branch to come to terms on federal funding. h.r. 2290 requires federal financial regulators to issue guidance encouraging institutions to work with individuals impacted by a government shutdown. it also requires the regulators to provide congress with a report analyzing the effectiveness of that guidance. it's proper. i want to remind my colleagues that guidance does not constitute formal rulemaking. this bill sets out best practices for both regulateors and financial institutions and should take that guidance seriously. i want to reiterate that this legislation conveys no new authority on federal financial regulateors. let's make that clear. many financial institutions and regulateors are implementing the best practices contemplated by this legislation. six months or seven months after the government shutdown, i think regar

clinton, john kerry. but the outsider who is agitating to move the party in a different direction has one, barack obama, bill clinton, jimmy carter. they all fit that category. so it doesn't really fit with history to assume that the former vice president who is really the establishment candidate is going to carry the day. that's really not when democrats have been at their best. however, joe biden is in the lead. and it really falls to the next tier of candidates to try to go after those key elements of support including the african-american vote. >> give us a response before we go. there are a lot of polls showing that they were recently all picked over trump in a general election. this is actually abc news and washington post. do you think this indicates that president trump has a reason to be worried? >> i think it will be a very competitive campaign next year. i really advise everyone who is watching, who watches the polls very carefully, the first and only poll that really will take is going to be in the cold of winter in iowa, a caucus state. if you don't get your supporters passionate enough to come out and vote, all the

the nomination itself. this was true of jimmy carter in 1976 and in 1980 against challenger ted kennedy, gore in 2000, kerry in 2004, obama in 2008, hillary clintonwo democrats to win iowa and not the democratic nomination were dick gephardt from missouri. and all the other cases from the outset of the caucuses of 1976 to the most recent was the winner of iowa ended up winning the nomination. this is why kamala harris has decided to put it all on iowa. another reason is a new poll conducted by her pollster taken among those voters most likely to attend the iowa caucuses on february 3rd. the poll shows biden with a narrowing lead. elizabeth warren rising from 16% to up 23% in that span of time, putting her 2 points from biden. another factor in that iowa race is mayor pete buttigieg who's risen from nowhere to 12%. harris poll shows her own support in iowa has been cut in half from 10% of likely caucus goers a year ago to 5% now. but the polls spotted something else. the utter volatility of iowa's democratic caucus goers. harris' number in the poll just two months ago right after that first democratic debate in which she tore into the former vice

clinton. if you go back to jimmy carter, he had a challenger by the name of ted kenny and jimmy carter ended up the republican ronald reagan. so there is a history, a pattern when an incumbent gets an actual challenger them not surviving in the general election. this is a president, though, who has almost unprecedented support among the republican base so it's hard to see any of these three challengers really getting ahead. but getting back to my original point if you're going to say you're fighting against a rigged system and you don't allow people to be on the ballot and voters to vote within your own party, it's hard to make that argument. >> thank you very much. >> thanks, brooke. >>> in the biggest labor strike in a decade, negotiations are underway right now after nearly 50,000 auto workers walk off the job. we'll take you there. >>> as antonio brown's accuser tells her story to the nfl. i'll talk to the columnist who says there is no right or wrong for the patriots, only wins. orlando isn't just the theme park capital of the world, it also has the highest growth in manufacturing jobs in

the carter example obviously. iran-contra, which fundamentally shaped president reagan's second term and nearly cost george bush the presidency in 1988 and was still haunting him as he left office when clinton came in. the iran/iraq question is hugely important. one of the reasons for the second iraq war was that saddam hussein was an irrational actor and one of the pieces of evidence for that was he had invaded iran when it was unwise to do so. it's an unfolding drama, and i would argue that iran and the future of saudi arabia require a cold war-like, generational, multi-generational strategy. that is not something that can be knocked out or fixed in a news cycle or a tweet. >> i wish i could promise we would see that. our thanks to both of these gentlemen. to jon meacham, to michael beschloss. greatly appreciate you both joining us on a friday night to round out this week. >>> coming up for us, he may have been the tallest candidate, but he came up short. now the democratic field has been pared way back to a bare-bones 17 candidates. this story when we come back. >>> the 2020 democratic candidates turning their focus back to iowa this weekend. and the democratic field shrunk by one today.

to be president in our ahead.as been polling the people that we elect our the people who were long shots. carter, bill clinton, barack obama. barack obama was behind hillary clinton in african-american voters this far out. on people, organizing, collecting to people -- connecting to people. i want to talk to you right now. , notguy who is in politics because i am a democrat but because i decided to move into a neighborhood which is one of the most distressed and america -- in america. i live in a low income, below the poverty line community. $14,000 per household was the median income in my neighborhood. when i moved there in the 90's, it was challenging. i won my castle seat -- council seat against the machine. about my a movie neighborhood called street fight. was nominated- it for an oscar. don't applaud that, it lost to march of the penguins. i am not as cute as a penguin. i have all of the forces against me. not only political forces, i had windows smashed, tires slashed, hate mail. i was warned by a federal judge of who was -- that will judge who was concerned for my safety. watch the movie and you will

the united states. engagement, there have been four major efforts at engagement, carter, reagan, clinton, obama, none of them produced anything other than small agreements here and there, mainly because radical forces inside iran continue to torpedo these efforts, and they are still there now, maybe stronger than they have been in recent years, so engagement has not been successful so far, and i think its prospects now are limited. secondly, coercion. the main u.s. effort at coercion was the george w. bush administration. as i explained a minute ago, this got nowhere and was quite harmful to the u.s. hundreds of u.s. personnel killed with iranian fingerprints and not a stopping to the iranian nuclear program, so coercion also has not worked in the past. this brings us to containment. i would say containment also has not worked well toward iran, although maybe better than engagement or coercion. iran has expanded its presence over the years in places like lebanon, iraq, syria, yemen to some extent, elsewhere, among the palestinians, but on the other hand, iran is pretty isolated in the middle east. the o

comes to peace, have a history at camp david, whether it was jimmy carter in 1978 or with bill clinton in 2000. but what we have is thely bad. the timing was bad. and i think it was a bad move. >> don, what would you recommend that trump do at this point with respect to what's going on in afghanistan? >> well, my recommendation is as the president the deal is dead. there are no more talks until they can come back and say they are willing to honor their part of the deal. part of that means having a cease-fire which they agreed -- or did not agree to do in exchange for the taliban prisoners the u.s. had negotiated on behalf of kabul. kristina: you just said moments ago the taliban is not a party that wants to negotiate. you have a lot of experience in this field. how could the president invite the taliban over and expect any type of dialogue when you just said right here and many people do agree with you, that they don't negotiate? >> well, the president loves his face-to-face meetings. we know that. kristina: for what purpose, though? this could potentially result in even more violence. >> i completely agree. i think i
