it i mean she's the gift that keeps on giving my goodness if this if this is the face of the democrat party bring it on you know she's one of the very few democrats who keeps voting against reopening the government the bill that keeps passing the house over and over again that nancy pelosi bring up you know why she said she didn't vote for it she won't fall for it because it finds ice in the. rationing customs enforcement she wants to abolish ice you know what a radical idea that is the reason you'll never see substance from her and real bills is because if she has the draft legislation the price tag the radical in this if you will of her views will come out and be there on the record instead of this violent face on all the late night talk shows they'll be radical substance and people will say whoa that's not good ok jason i'm steve it's taking us to the point where i want to continue i mean you know before the midterms you didn't have a lot of mainstream democrats talking about the abolition of ice but now you have more and more. associated in the establishment here i mean to what degree i

the political system and thinkers outside of the duopoly, not aligned with the republican and democratic party no matter what they get from those two parties. we're for choice. >> fair enough. i wanted to get that out there. stephanie, it is the democratic party having a bit of the freak out. why now and why are they freaking out over a guy who, i'm sorry, i didn't hear a message. ross perot had a message, ralph nader had a message. successful inchdependents, john anderson had a message. he doesn't know what he is for yet. so why the freak out? >> i think that the one thing that unifies democrats is the focus on taking our country back from what trump has thrust upon it. and reorienting us around core american values. the idea of a third party candidacy self funded by a billionaire poses a threat to that because somebody like howard schultz is likely going to take away, think of the obama, truck voters, they're not going to be for trump but they could be for howard schultz. the idea of that, risking our ability to prevent donald trump from getting kicked out of the white house is alarming. how

we're now witnessing what is an implosion of the democratic party. pelosi, schumer, other long-time democrats have completely lost control and now that party has been taken over by extreme, radical democratic socialists. a group of people that really wake up in the morning and they just hate presumptiident trump. that's what's important. not daca, not dreamers, not furloughed employees. they hate trump. they want to reshape a free market economy which is the enemy of the world. this comes as we witness horrific effects of socialism in realtime. and the south american country of venezuela, their economy, socialist, well, it's totally collapsed. the country is descending into chaos. today, protests throughout the streets of caracas, and an opposition leader has now declared himself the interim president. the socialist dictator is refusing to give up power even after it caused his country to really become, well, a living hell hole. 3 million venezuelans have fled their home country because of poverty and hunger. hyper inflation has reached 80,000%. the e

stay with us they crossed looking at some of the rising stars with them us democratic party. hello and welcome to crossfire all things considered i'm peter i mean stood media darling and certainly a fresh face the newly minted congresswoman alexandria. ocasio cortez is rattling some democratic establishment cajuns she calls herself a democratic socialist and she has some big plans it's a democratic party and america ready for a o.c. . talking alexandra ocasio cortez i'm joined by my guest steve in new york he is the conservative political commentator also in new york we have jason nichols he is a progressive commentator and democratic strategist and in los angeles we cross to goodman is a columnist and journalist published in the huffington post salon the hill and other publications right john cross talk rules in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it jason let me go to you first because she comes from your wheel house so i'll get let you take a strike at first she calls herself a democratic socialist i mentioned that in the introduction sh

lockstep. >> tucker: if the democratic party was the party of populist economics,

olm was on the left of the progressive wing of the democratic party, as is speaker pelosi. host: barbara winslow, thank you for your time. >> thank you. this was great. >> you are watching american history tv only on c-span3. the 70tharch anniversary of the founding of the state of israel and the creation of human rights. next on american history tv, james loeffler talks about his book "rooted cosmopolitans: jews and human rights in the 20th century." loeff talk professor ler profiles two jewish boys who assisted with the war crimes of nazi war criminals and founded -- the human rights.

this is the democratic party. this is a state that is now democrat-controlled, democrat, is the state legislature still run by democrats? >> that's correct. and the governor, the incumbent governor, when she's governor-elect, she said i will invite asylum-seekers to come to maine and i will give them services. well, if you invite, they will come. >> laura: when i think of all these other cities that are considering more generous policies towards both asylum-seekers, refugees, again, different story. what do you say to them, given maine's own experience? think i would say that if you have the resources and you feel compassionate for these folks, go ahead and do it. but if you're going to be taking resources, very, very important resources for your citizens, then you are making a big mistake. >> laura: well, again, 90% of the people living in portland, city-run family shelter, overflow shelter are people who are asylum-seekers overwhelmingly, i guess, still from africa, correct? because that's correct, from africa. >

actually her idea of consumer protection and other things are very important to where democratic party stands on those and i thinkes today she is pretty important member democratic senate caucus and i also think that frankly, lessons maybe from the 2018 primary season was that i think democratic primary voters when given the option to alsofor people of color or also white women sort of liked having that option and the party is becoming more diverse and it seems certainly possible that the for a second time in a row, actual lay third time in a a whiteld not nominate male to be the presidential nominee and so, again, there positives, i think, for warren, one of the things that tripped up warren has been about her native american ancestry and she and her team decided to release dna test shen the took a couple of months ago. that was not well received and doesn't seem look the president will be on that particular issue refer toll continue to her as pocahontas which again he will keepongly doing it. we know enough about the president he will not give that up. think a lot of people questione

down the line there is a systematic removal if you will of faith from the democratic party. e they? it is not the only incidents. another confirmation, diane feinstein. >> when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you. that is of concern. >> you may not agree with someone's religion, but don't say to him, it is illegitimate for you to hold those positions. catholicism is not extreme. their attacks are extreme. >> i looked at the exit polling for the last few elections and there has been a bit of a shift of catholics away from the democratic party. obama won catholics 54-55. you are seeing a little bit of a shift. it is not usually pronounced. there have been some really interesting stuff written, the archbishop of new york wrote, a profound opinion piece in "the wall street journal" or in march effectively saying that he could no longer seeing high could be a catholic of good standing and a democrat at the same time. it is an issue that is being debated. spewing it does want to watch. >> this isn't just about anti-catholicism,

chisholm was on the left of the progressive wing of the democratic party, as is speaker pelosi. host: barbara winslow, thank you for your time. >> thank you. this was great. announcer: interested in american history? visit our website. tv schedule,our preview programs and watch college lectures, chores, films, and more. american history tv at c-span.org/history. year, c-span is touring cities across the country, exploring american history.

protection and other things are really intellectually very important, i think, to where the democratic party stands on those kinds of issues today. i think she is a pretty important member of the democratic senate caucus. i also think that frankly, one of the lessons maybe from the 2018 primary season was that i think democratic primary voters -- when given the option to vote color orle of also white women sort of liked having that option and the democratic party is becoming more diverse. it seems certainly possible that the democrats, for the second time in a row, actually the third time in a row, would not nominate a white male to be the presidential nominee. so again, there are lots of positives, i think, for warren, one of the things that tripped up warren has been this question about her native american ancestry. she and her team decided to release information on the dna test she took a couple of months ago. that was not particularly well received. theoes not seem like president will ever be mollified on that particular issue. he will continue to refer to her as "pocahontas" which again

today is the democratic party of '06 or 2010. y's changed on immigration. i think the feeling they have to appear to be really strong by supporting a lot more border security, that has waned and the enthusiasm of the democratic party is for protecting immigrants. i think that's the miscalculation that he made and he continues to make in those tweets. >> susan paige, continuing with the boot metaphor, maybe trying to think of a different one, but they do have it right now. they've got him cornered. and the question is, why in the world would they give him an out, given the way this president has behaved personally? given the way this president has led. given the way this president has behaved on the international front. it seems like he's such a runaway beer truck that there really isn't any relationship building and leverage they would want to create out of letting up on him. >> and, of course, this is a different democratic party. this is the first day of president trump's next two years, which is an empowered democratic party wi

let's talk about the divide in the democratic party. ve schultz saying i want to do the right thing. and the democrats are trying to chew them up and spit them out. they like this fire brand of alexandria ocasio-cortez and bernie sanders. and i just keep saying, have you not seen this show? >> socialism doesn't work. but for some reason the left keeps running to the left. some of the messaging they put out there sound appealing for people who don't understand how things work. free healthcare, free this, free that. it sounds great for the working class. but they don't realize socialism always fails. history has shown us that. venezuela has shown us that. taxing the rich. doing the 70 per will be, 90 per will be taxes doesn't work. trish: robert are you going to say tax 70%, 90%. go for it? >> no, i don't think it mainstream democrats are saying that. trish: kamala harris on the insurance industry -- >> it's who gets what when where and why. to say we can have a tax cut paid for by nobody. we can run up the deficit $2 trillion in two years

but it was all male, and she worked very closely with women not only in the local democratic party clubs, but in the social clubs, in the immigrant organizations, in the church organizations. she knew central brooklyn like the back of her hand and had the support of the women. so in 1960 she gets elected and goes to albany, and she's a very effective legislator. the legislation she is most proud of is called the s.e.e.k. program, seek, education, empowerment and knowledge. and this provided resources for high school students going to the city university of new york so that they could attend college and get the resources needed to stay in college and to graduate. and that transformed the city university of new york, the various colleges, including her alma mater brooklyn college, from basically being all white to resembling more of the diversity of new york city. it was a fantastic accomplishment. >> did she grow up in brooklyn? >> she spent seven formative years on the island of barbados. and barbados i think was really transformative for her in many ways even though she was a young girl

this is one of the, i think this is one of the luxuries thus far of the democratic party. tty fierce stranglehold on their rank-and-file. very few democrats will say out loud they support a border barrier, never a wall, that is a sign of strength of democratic leadership maintaining fight against the president plenty of people who want to get paid, back to work and get our border secured at the same time. melissa: i ask a pretty basic question because i don't know how these things work. when the kavanaugh hearings went on, all of sudden we saw ads local stations around, this is what brett kavanaugh stands for, call the congresspeople. at this point in the fight, republicans are saying put federal workers back to work, protect daca recipients, put this money into new border patrol, put money into humanitarian aid, all you have to do is come to the table, a lot of americans are not hearing that message, that is what the president is offering, republicans are offering. why doesn't some super-pac step up and put some ads out there or do something to get the message out? >> beca

party. democrats and republicans are both great out parties. new one has been great at governing. that is a problem. voters get that itch for a change. it goes back to the parliamentary behavior on the part of voters. democrats might be a growth stock not, but should they win in 2020, these things reversed quickly. >> the freshman democratic class is the most educated and the experiencedcally freshman class to come to congress. military people with backgrounds, social activists. the first somali-american in congress. it is extraordinary diversity. we should be proud of it. they come with a lot of idealism and energy. they think they can make things happen overnight. i tell my friends who think that, nancy pelosi was elected in 1987. in 2001, she became part of the democratic leadership. here we are in 2019, all those years to get where she is. the congress moves at a snail's pace. social media and life today move kind of recklessly fast. i think some of the more social media active members of congress are going to make a bigger impact than they actually have in the caucus because t

for months we warned that any democrat that is competing for the party's nomination, they have to prove their radical, socialist ideals, and know what we are watching is this all play out in real time. look at california senator kamala harris, likely democratic front runner, starting to echo the policies of the socialist freshman congresswoman alexandria oak osseo cortez. last night senator harris even through her support behind a government takeover of energy. that is the lifeblood of our economy. and end of oil, so called a new green deal, a green new deal. whatever that means. watch this. >> i support a green new deal and i will tell you why. climate change is an existential threat to us, and we have to deal with the reality of it. >> sean: hold on, the nationalization of energy, oh, that worked out so well for venezuela. why not try it here? that means millions and millions. we are now the biggest oral producer in the world, surpassing the evil regime of russia, and the saudis. think of all of the high-paying jobs, careers of people in the energy industry, think of energy independen

how do you fit in with the democratic party? ook, i don't think of this so much in terms of party. i think of this as people who want to see change. and the kind of change they want to see. this is going to be the fish or cut bait year for the democrats. and it's going to be how do we think government should work and who do we think government should work for? let me give you an example of that. think about this upcoming democratic primary. is this going to be a democratic primary that truly is a grassroots movement that is funded by the grassroots, that's done with grassroots volunteers, or is this going to be something that's just one more play thing, that billionaires can buy? so i think this is a moment for all of the democratic nominees, as they come into the race, to say, in a democratic primary, we are going to link arms, and we're going to say grassroots funding. no to the billionaires. no to the billionaires, whether they are self-funding or whether they're funding pacts. we are the democratic party, and that's the party

she takes us back to a big-spending, big taxing democratic party and the democratic party is not goingormer senator joe lieberman responding to the democratic congresswoman, newly-elected, alexandria ocasio-cortez, who had one message for the former vp nominee. this is going back and forth. new party. who dis? she tweeted for those who don't believe it. 29-year-old freshman says the big tent is not big enough for two of them. what does it mean for former vice president joe biden, who my very well according to reports might announce his decision whether he running for president maybe this week and early as tomorrow. we have gianna caldwell, kristin hahn, former communications director for centrist, blue dog coalition. begin with that idea, centrist democrat, some issues, joe biden, would fall into that time of camp. can that democrat win in a party where someone like alexandria ocasio-cortez can get so much attention? >> i think so. i would agree with joe lieberman. i think that there has been a lot of attention paid to ocasio-cortez for good reason. she is young, dynamic, active on soc

liz: krirt is say democrats should worry about how the far left split the party because they are alienating the moderate middle. howard schultz did explain why he's choosing not to run as a democrat. >> if i ran as a democrat, i would have to say things i know in my heart i do not believe. and i what have to be disingenuous. for example, what the progressive left-leaning democratic partsy is suggesting is government-paid government healthcare for everyone, which is free, government jobs free for everyone, and government paid college for everyone. liz: this as a "wall street journal"-nbc news shows president trump approval rating bested and topped nancy pelosi's by 15 percentage points. let's bring in karl rove. former advisor to president bush. schultz is saying the far left is making false promises because nothing is free. the taxpayers pay for it. >> we have a long way to go before he proves whether that message is durable. but if he hangs in there he has a chance to make that message to the american people than might be an audience willing to listen to it. you have got to get on the bala

he just attacking the democratic party.nd it seems pretty clear that the reason that you do that is that you know that you can't win, but maybe you can bring the democratic party to heal if you threaten to do what happened in 2016 all over again by throwing the election to trump. >> here's the question for me. when i think schultz -- so democrats have united with a lot of anger at schultz. and i actually this in some ways it's been a little bit overstated because i don't think he is going to be that big of an influence, frankly. >> saying that's a bad idea, here are the reasons. >> right. what i do think is interesting, and that is one shoe that has not dropped in this race yet is some person or some group of people are going to run, try to run in the showered schultz lane in the primary. >> yes. >> like bloomberg's already running that. i think terry mcauliffe who wrote that op said. the lane of we can't go too far left. i'm the one who is a sensible moderate centrist. is there a lane, is there an appetite for that message

last summer, congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez of new york has emerged as a symbol of the democratic party'se. 74% of democrats would support her as the country's nominee but she can't run until she's 2024 -- will the world even make it that long? that's the question that hangs in the air after an interview ocasio-cortez did monday. she warned climate change could destroy the planet very soon. >> the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we going to pay for it? this is our world war ii. >> tucker: murdoch is a contributing editor, he doesn't end sentences with a question mark, an up inflection unlike certain members of congress read he joins us tonight. doesn't even matter -- what are we doing if i could say like comma, what are we doing. does it make you rethink whetheo you want to reverse mortgage, if you really believe that, how would you live? >> well i think i'm going to leave the studio and fill up myt last will and testament. it might not be 12 years it might be two or three years. >> tucker: who would your material effe

the democratic party looks like it is in total disarray.t's stunning what they're doing. >> if you needed me for proof that they were focused on stopping the president than helping the country, this is it. the speaker of the house doesn't invite or disinvites the commander in chief, the president of the united states of america not to come give the state of the union address? i mean this is unbelievable and you couple with that what happened yesterday when the president invited democrat to the white house to talk about getting a solution, building a border security wall, figuring out how to negotiate this to some end and they didn't show up. not showing up and now not inviting the president to give the annual state of the union address. this is how much they're focused on stopping the president and how little they're focused on what we need to be doing which is helping the country. lou: it looks to me like this just blew up in pelosi's face, this shallow, i mean, really contencontempt. >> it's really going to matter where the republican bar

democratic party has a state center. we've seen the republicans went their, i don't know how this focus is out. politics have coalitions are moving and changing and they're in the static. and as long as donald trump is there. this is going to be the party of trump. -- depends on the democrats to move it to the left. >> i want to ask you. o you think trump will be primaried? eve that political pressure and i'm not divorcing. are could he ats win? sure. picking up seats in the senate, in theicans lost 40 seats house but that is typical. look at what happened to why in 2010.ma both times, political writers reelected so et 2000, 2020 is a long way away. there are a lot of thing that's play at this point. and you can watch and you're et a different answer to what's happening. in the ll this is all air. here n get information is a long way to be. if it's down it's twoing to be a real problem. democrats underestimate peril.s strength to their yeah. funeral, hat that report, that was the old party. the party this country needed.

would argue a civil war, some disagree with that, but what direction are we going in as the democratic partyo be leftists, sort of hard core democrats where we believe in progressive ideas? or are the democrats going to sort of stay centrist and try and capture some of the disaffected republicans who don't want to be seen as xenophobic, anti-semitism semitic, racist or allied with trump. >> also, glen, i wonder how we view the presidential role in all this? a tweet from the president referring to 2020 where he writes, the shutdown is only because of the 2020 presidential election. the democrats know they can't win based on all of the achievements of trump, so -- in quotes -- go all-in on the desperately wall and border security and presidential harassment. for them, strictly politics. >> exclamation point. >> how does president trump factor into all of this? there are certain candidates i think he would love to face in 2020 because he knows how to make political hay of them a. combination of bob mueller and the new congress is going to take care of president trump. so i don't they he's going

what we also understood in terms of the democratic party, that the democratic party cannot succeed if it continues to be a party of the east coast and the west coast and a few states in between. we could not continue to turn our backs on states that were some of the poorest in america, that we cannot continue to ignore rule america, that we cannot turn our backs on millions of working people were struggling to keep their heads above water economically, black, white, and latino, that we had to begin the process of going out all over this country with an agenda that brought people together, that had the guts to take on the billionaire class that controls the economic and political like of this country and to do everything we could. those are other assignment. [applause] >> i had to make a personal decision about whether or not i wanted to become a part of the democratic leadership. there are clear advantages to it and disadvantages. the leadership has lot of meetings. if you don't like meetings, is not a good place to be. but, i thought one of the important points i want to meet tonight

this president is going to test this democratic party. speaker pelosi may want to hold back impeachment talks, but the more this president acts in ways that aggravate democrats, it is going to be harder for her to believe she can control this impeachment conversation. that is going to be something she is going to deal with the whole year, this new wave of younger democrats -- host: who may not be okay with that position. guest: part of the reason they swept the house was because of president trump being unpopular in their districts. it will be interesting to see how she can hold that all and for how long. she knows what she is doing. she believes the president is already boxed in on immigration with the wall. her people tell me if she can stave off the wall, she can break the republicans on immigration, maybe she can get him to work with her on infrastructure or prescription drugs. try to see if the president can maybe actually play ball on a few issues. and let the committees throughout the year spend time bringing everybody up to capitol

, and what it does is open up the divisions within the democratic party -- >> but it does inspire a lot of democrats to say we should go back to a time -- a lot of times they felt health care or tax policy where they felt mainstream centrist democrats didn't go far enough with taxation. where you're making the rich pay their fair share, you still have to get into a policy of what they're after. this is a more extreme form of income redistribution that some liberals in the country, especially elected officials, would like to advance. >> if you want to talk about middle class tax cuts, fwauk middle class tax cuts, which is what donald trump was talking about, but it didn't happen, remember? >> except for the wealthy. >> i think there will be a real healthy debate within the democratic party about this, but it does give republicans a real opening. >> let's take a look at 2020. specific name here, joe biden. he is expected to decide within the coming month about whether he's going to run. according to the "new york times," this is really interesting, reporter

. >> warren is one of the leading voices of the democratic party today.et she's only been a senator since 2013 and her path to washington has been anything but straightforward. her life is a story of real perseverance and unexpected turns. and that narrative starts from the very beginning. >> i was a late in life baby, as they used to be called back then. and my mother always called me the surprise. i was about 30 before it occurred to me what that meant. >> elizabeth ann herring is born june 22, 1949 in oklahoma city, oklahoma. she's the youngest of four and the only girl in donald and pauline herring's family. >> they always saw themselves as middle class people. for them the distinction was they used good english. and they didn't say "ain't." >> but her middle class upbringing is threatened when she's just 12 years old. >> my daddy had a heart attack. and when that happened it just turned our life upside down. she was out of work a long time. the medical bills pile up. we lost the family station wagon. right on the edge of losing our home. when it was

what we are seeing with the democratic party is what we saw in tea party movement in 2011, in this case faction of the party that wants to be extreme. i think that -- leader pelosi or now speaker pelosi is going to face a challenge trying to strike a very delicate balance between those individuals within the democratic party and within the caucus that want to pursue impeachment but potentially at par relate of democrats in 2020, not maybe with congressional districts, have their own sort of dynamic personalities and priorities but more importantly they run the risk of potentially of becoming this foil for president trump leading into the 2020 presidential election which is good for democrats nationally. rob: lauren, if they go to impeachment, do they run the risk of inspiring the relationship vote in 2020, pushing them to come out? >> that's exactly what nancy pelosi is most concerned about. the comments that the congresswoman made about impeaching donald trump wasn't so much that they were worried about the impeachment message, she was guarantying that they were going to have the vote,

it was family, the catholic church and the democratic party. not always in the order but she grew up absolutely revering. one of the things about nancy pelosi is that it helps to have a good name in politics, george bush tells you how that works. not just on the conservative side. ted kennedy certainly prospered with a good family name. the clintons, hillary clinton, to a certain degree and her husbands name. nancy pelosi, her brother, tommy -- nancy married which went to washington d.c.. and married paul pelosi and moved 3000 miles to the west coast. folks in san francisco today don't even know that name. so she may have had it instilled in her dna but it was not hunting that got her elected. in terms of timing it took hundred and 31 years of the constitution was ratified for women to be guaranteed the right to vote. it took 73 more years after that into the early 1990s, for women to be 10 percent of the u.s. congress. in 1940 when nancy pelosi was born there was a single woman that ever served on the baltimore city council. no women governors

this president is going to test this democratic party. speaker pelosi may want to hold back impeachment talk, but the more this president acts in ways that aggravate the market -- democrats, it is want to be harder for speaker loc to believe -- pelosi to believe she can control this situation. that is going to be this whole year, this new wave of younger democrats -- host: who may not be ok. guest: they dislike president trump. part of the reason they select the house was because of president trump being unpopular in their districts. it is going to be interesting to see how long weaker policy -- speaker pelosi can pull that off. her people tell me that if she can stave off the wall and break the republicans on immigration, maybe she can get him to work with her on infrastructure or prescription drugs. try to see if the president can maybe actually play ball on a few issues. rugby orommittee's year spent time bringing everybody up to capitol hill. agencies,different pelosi knows it she has subpoena power. the democrats want to impeach not j

party. democrats and republicans are both great out parties. they are great at criticizing, neither one of them have been very good at governing. that's been a problem. voters get that itch for change and he goes back to what i talked about earlier about the parliamentary behavior on the part of voters. democrats might be a growth stock now but jim should they win the presidency in 2020, these things reverse very quickly. >> i just want to say something, the freshman democratic class is the most educated in the least politically experienced congress , the freshman class to come to congress. there are people with military backgrounds and intelligence backgrounds, social activists, we have the first somali american in congress, it's an extraordinary diversity and i think we should be proud of it. they come with a lot of idealism and energy and they think they can make things happen overnight. i tell my friends who think that , nancy pelosi was elected in 1987. in 2001 she became part of the democratic leadership. here we are in 2000 19 all those

the republicans went to the tea party phase. democratsre going through what i call the herbal tea party with a have aoc and some of these hoops, urban areas but using some radicalism coming out on the democratic left now, becoming more mainstream. i don't know how this focus about the politics over the course of time, coalitions are constantly moving and changing again not static. as long as dollar trump is there this will be the party of donald trump for people who like it or don't. they might've considered at a hostile takeover but that is the fact. post trump i think it's a different story. a lot of it depends how the democrats, can they center themselves or can they control the forces that unleashed of identity politics then moved to the left. >> do you think trump will be primaried in 2020? is not a suicide mission? >> it may be a suicide mission but i think he gets primaried. >> in the name? >> i think it's too early to tell. again, i do believe that the political pressures, and i'm not divorcing couple i think democrats are very sm

democratic party, looks like it is in total disarray. it is stunning what they are doing. >> if you need any more proof that they are more focused on stopping the president than in helping the country, this is it. the speaker of the house doesn't invite or diss invites the commander-in-chief, the president of the united states of america, not to come give the state of the union address? this is unbelievable. and you couple that with what happened yesterday when the president invited democrats to the white house to talk about getting a solution, building a border security wall, figuring out how we can negotiate this to some, vent and they did not show up. they are not showing up and now not inviting the present to give the annual state of the union address. this is how much there focused on stopping the president and how little there focused on what we need to be doing which is helping the country. >> it looks like that this just blow up in nancy pelosi 's face. this shallow, i mean really contemptuous gambit on her part.>> yeah. and i th

you know, as democrats, we believe that our party will be united. we also are going to fight for those values that united not just democrats, but all americans. and i tell mr. schultz and anybody else who decides to run, come on in, the water's warm. but that doesn't mean there's no sh sharks. >> who's the biggest shark right now? >> i don't know. >> oh, you know. >> i'm a louisiana girl, babimebaby. when i get into the shark thing, i just want to swim the hell out of it. but this is going to be a good season. i can't wait, more candidates to come. the water's warm, come on in. >> kamala harris is she the front runner? >> one of the top tier candidates, elizabeth warren, joe biden, cory booker, there are many more that will be coming into the race. amy klobuchar. i want to see all these candidates get to run and talk about their ideas. we're going to contrast them with donald trump. by the way, i have some good news. the good news with stacy a you and i have to talk after that, break it down to the american people. this is going to be the show. >> wh
