now, he has left the ruling democratic progressive party and will run against the president and the electionsext year or two as he put it, save the country from distraction and corruption. why is he criticising a government of which he criticising a government of which he is still an member? and if corruption is as bad as he describes, why doesn't the vice president use his influence to stop the rot? chilima of malawi, welcome to heart talk. why are you running against the very man that you stood with in 2014? i have the right qualifications to contest her office. why you turned against mutharika, and... 20 against him, it is not that, ijust want to exercise my constitutional right. see what to exercise your constitutional rights. are you... you like it is the delegated office, constitutionally. so as i see it,” still go to the office, report for duties and because of the office of the vice president that needs to be run bya the vice president that needs to be run by a team of them, i am still in that office. do you still have meetings with president mutharika? not afterjune. meetings with pr

now he has left the ruling democratic progressive party, and says he will run against him in the presidentialions next year to, as he puts it, save the country from destruction and corruption. why is he criticising a government of which he still is a member, and if corruption is really as bad as he describes, why doesn't the vice president use his influence to stop the rot? vice president saulos chilima, of malawi, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. why are you running against the very man you stood with in 2014, on a joint ticket? times change. and, first of all, it's a constitutional right in malawi for any person above the age of 35, and who has got the right qualifications, to contest for office. i am not saying that you are not fit to run for president. i am just enquiring why you have turned against peter mutharika, and yet you were campaigning with him on a joint ticket only in 2013. i don't think it is turning against him, it'sjust i would like to exercise my constitutional right and contest the office of president. so you want to exercise your constitutional right. are you also exercisi

been no democratic party to speak up for 20 years in the 1950's when they and a handful of others brought it back to life. >> the democratic party did not exist in wisconsin. there was the progressive party and the republican party. there was a small group of men, including warren, carl thompson, who began the murmurs of a political unit that would oppose or be different from the progressive movement and republican party. he ran three times for governor and lost all three times, so we thought the career was over. we had no plans ever to run again for anything. and then fortuitously, mccarthy died in the spring of 57. people started calling bill saying you have to run, you are the best-known democrat. >> she talks in the second interview about how she found in his top dresser drawer near the end of his career a pamphlet he picked up about alzheimer's disease and recognizing the symptoms in oneself. >> in 1988, nobody talked about alzheimer's. nobody knew what it was. some years after he left the senate, i found the pamphlet about alzheimer's. he knew something was going on. i don't think he knew what it was. he maintained, after he left the senate, he kept writing columns and making

in two thousand and fifteen he dumped the ruling party then that's the people's democratic party to join the all progressives congress which was of course a coalition of two political parties and defectors from the former ruling party the people's democratic party while a few probable cause has the backing of some of nigeria's powerful elite mom and while the mayor and his supporters are banking on the goodwill that still exist among the nigerian poor who are still all still seem ahmed wali as a solution to some of their problems but at equal side or the pupils democratic party side would be keen to show that security threat still exist to the economy it's not completely out of the woods yet and also because there is another alternative former ruling former president or lucia one of us in your is trying to cobble together another call ition that he wants to call an alternative to the current ruling political party the a.p.c. and the former ruling party now the biggest opposition in nigeria the people's democratic party now the next four months will determine who becomes the president of nigeria based on thei

democratic party ultimately represents. i mean, this is a storyline that we've discussed on your program for months about really this tension between the centrist wing of the democratic party and the more progressive wing. this issue of nafta, in particular the nafta 2.0 and unions in particular is going to be something that is -- that the former vice president sees, that senator bernie sanders sees, that senator elizabeth warren sees. it's really going to shape the race. as of now, i would note, no major developments since the justice kavanaugh confirmation has really acted as a way to shake up the -- the senate likely going for republicans and the house for the democrats. >> 16 days we'll find out. >> after that ral any nevada before trump addressed the killing of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. tlets e. let's ta let's take a quick listen. >> mike pompeo has not, secretary of state. somebody came out with a false report. i think it was abc. it was totally false. he has not seen that. has not heard that. i would tell you if he had. so far, we've heard about it, but nobody has seen it. it may. i'm going to work with the senate and the house. we'll be working with congress because they're ve

party. you see elizabeth warren and bernie sanders on one side. do you see you progressives emerging within the party? do you see a split within the democratic party? do you see a new party emerging? let's talk specifics. cenk: i don't want a new party. it is a great question, and bifurcated answers. should there be a split within the party? yes. they say unity. great let's unify before the most this behind the most popular politician in the country, bernie sanders. no no no! said primaries were about idea when you wanted hillary to win and now primaries are the best idea. should bernie get a free ride in the primary? no. let's fight, let's figure out who is right, let's have people vote. should you splinter the democratic party overall? no. i think it is a disastrous idea and will help the right-wing win. >> are you saying you don't pick it should happen, but you are talking about civil war. cenk: no, i think there will be healthy and sometimes not healthy fight over ideas. we're not going to bow our heads. when they say let's take donor money and keep spending for defense contractors from our answer is no, hard no. what you want to do? thi

there is a ton of education that the democratic party, the progressive party, they are simply not doinganches of government work. >> how big of a problem is the lack of democratic infrastructure? the democratic party down there has sort of withered away over the years. >> this is the challenge. they have really based a lot of their infrastructure following unions and union strong holds. in the places where there is the greatest opportunity right now, is actually in georgia and north carolina, florida, texas and arizona. those are not union strongholds. so the progressive party really has to figure out how they reimagine investment to capture that market opportunity. >> third quarter campaign fundraiser reports were due this week. democrats have the upper hand. 71% of the democrats out raised their republican opponents. that's in 32 of the 45 districts. all told in those races democrats brought in $154 million while republicans raised $108 million. in georgia despite ongoing accusations of voter suppression in the state, early voting there opened on monday and set records. across the sta

something that's going to happen brian are you concerned about the rift between progressive and establishment wings of the democratic party. very very concerned about that look the bottom line is here larry there's obviously a lot of motivation on the left to vote for anything and anybody but trump but republicans in the midterms and then in two thousand and twenty but look liberals progressives the whole resistance movement they need to get their act together they need to do what republicans do which is rally behind the party line candidate democrats have had a bad job they have been they have just done a bad job doing this i'm convinced that a big factor in what sank hillary clinton in two thousand and sixteen lot of progressives just couldn't get bernie sanders and jill stein out of their imaginations so you know it's one thing to protest in the streets and it's one thing to shout your disapproval unless you vote and you vote party line i don't think it's going to make a difference for the resistance john one of the make of the whole ron rosenstein matter apparently now he's ok in good graces. well i think one of the t

the democratic left, the progressive activists wing of the democratic party is going to go all out. they're going to promise health care for all. meds ca medicare for all. promise free college and probably some sort of getting rid of trump plan. whether it's the 25th amendment or impeachment. they'll go all ought. give all the speeches you want. you're not going to stop him because that may well work in the primaries and win that stuff on the -- in the iowa front and going through south carolina and going through nevada to california. all this decrying of the democratic party not showing itself. it is a big part of the democratic party. and trump will exploit it, point to it. he'll say that's the democratic party, the socialist party. fair enough. this is going to be one hell of a -- talk about polarization as a disease. this country politically is polarized to the point where the anti-trump people begin to act like trump in their manner, their manners and they're going to go head-to-head with him, and they're going to like it because they can win. a cory can win. a kamala can win.

democratic party. one is to double down on the progressive energy to make the party impose litmus tests on the candidateswe will see in the 2020 primary. and the aggressive approach will not work in the country and democrats need to be given the space in middle america to fit their districts and states and adopt the moderate positions and what you are seeing is those democratic politicians who are running in states that supported trump where trump and republicans have high support are finding success if they seem more moderate. perhaps that is a lesson that democrats can take if the candidates are successful in the democratic primaries in 2019 and 2020. >> what we are seeing now 18 days out is the house going left and the senate going right. 18 days to find out. sarah, thanks. have a great weekend. >>> last night at the montana rally, the president took a shot at senator elizabeth warren blasting his potential 2020 rival over the dna test she made public. >> the only good thing she did, and i think she disqualified herself. i can't call her pocahontas anymore. she has so little indian in her. i cannot ca

and the center for strategic international studies and the center for american progress very close in the democratic party so this is been a bipartisan relationship between the blog the foreign policy blog in washington and the saudi regime and there's been a sequence of crimes right the genocide emerged and the coup in egypt the the invasion of bahrain the what happened with hariri. you know the list goes on and on so much that we could talk about in fact and in fact as the. this. current situation unravels i'm sure that we're going to have you on to talk about it more robert naiman director of the just foreign policy thank you for being with us and here in our international it's a mass that's for sure good to be with you. all right now turkey claims to have a recording proving if it was murdered earlier president trump denied that his secretary of state might bump a zero was given that recording artie's but trying to take a closer look. a quick look at the calendar back here was when jamal khashoggi was last seen alive days past and only that was the point when the us president had this response to the

democrats, saying that exact same sound by appearing itself they are going to tap into that. let's not discount, however, that the real passion and drive has been with the democratic party. specifically about progressivehe democratic party, where there is a lot of enthusiasm. what has happened in the past two weeks, i think is that the gap has closed. the enthusiasm gap between the two. npr, pbs, they said what is very important is the midterm election. democrats, 82%. democrats, 83%. democrats women, 85%. republican women, 82%. so it was read together, and that has changed in the last two weeks. >> sandra: bret baier, lots going on. this time yesterday, we were anticipating hurricane michael. the aftermath of that has been devastating. 26 days until the midterm elections. unbelievable. brett, nice to see you. >> jon: we are getting our first look now at some of the destruction left behind by hurricane michael on the northern gulf coast of florida. whole neighborhoods obliterated. we will hear from one of the search and rescue crews who is coming the area. also, an fbi reader discovers the 200-pound ball. what they say the suspect intended to do and where. >> my reaction, i was shocked. this is a very

no democratic party dispute government till the early 1950's, when they and a handful of others brought it back to life. >> the democratic party did not exist in wisconsin. there was the progressive party and the republican party, and a small group of men, including warren, hen we -- henry rice, who began the murmurs, shall we speak, of the political unit that would oppose or be different from the progressive movement and the republican party. he ran three times for governor and lost all three times, so we thought the career was over. he had no plans ever to run again for anything. and then for to it asleep, the spring ofin 1957, and people started calling bill and saying, you have to run. you are the best known democrat. >> she talks in the second interview about how she found in his top dresser drawer near the end of his career a pamphlet he had picked up about alzheimer's disease, and recognized some symptoms of it in oneself. about1988, nobody talked alzheimer's or knew what it was. years after he left the senate, i found a pamphlet in the drawer about alzheimer's. -- hew that his mind was knew something was going on. i don't think he knew what it he, and he maintained after

much the divisiveness that comes from identity politics, and that still where the progressives in the democratic party are concentrated. but republicans have fixed obamacare, and now it has become more unpopular, but unfortunately democrats are so blinded by resistance that they haven't come up with an alternative to the nonalternative except for medicare, which will absolutely blow up the deficit. so when you are talking about people who are looking out for their bottom line and talking about irresponsible government spending to the tune of $32 trillion that, in the end, it doesn't necessarily help people, two-thirds of democrats in the house support medicare for all. 66%. >> a lot of democrats are coming in. this is a mainstream issue and a losing one for democrats. >> does a fight with the media help president trump? listen to this. >> president trump: i'm just telling you that you treated me much differently on the subject. >> i disagree but i don't want to have that fight with you. we can have another fight. >> president trump: that's okay leslie because i'm president and you are not. >> i have t

something that's going to happen brian are you concerned about the rift between progressive and establishment wings of the democratic party. very very concerned about that look the bottom line is here larry there's obviously a lot of motivation on the left to vote for anything shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now up for watching closely watching the hawks. aeroflot russian headlights. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. seemed wrong long but all roads just don't call. me i'll get to see a pilot he's going to come out to. and gain from it because betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart. just of the common ground. come back to politicking dean cain is the actor probably best known for his starring role on the t.v. series lows unclog the new adventures of superman he's also one of the few outspoken conservatives in hollywood he stars in a new film das now the trial of america's biggest serial killer and i recently ta

i think hillary clinton and some of the more progressive women in the democratic party, and she puts herself even though she may not be there honestly. they want to exacerbate this gender civil war. it's one of the worst things that can happen. it is very, in its own way, paternalistic and belittling. >> jesse: and james carville said about one of bill clinton's accusers, if that's what happens when you drag a dollar bill through a trailer park. he is not clean on this whole me too issue. it scares me that he seems like he knows the media is continuing to dig in on kavanaugh. >> dana: last word, juan. >> juan: the president last night saying kavanaugh has been proven innocent. again, this is like sticking your finger in the eyes of someone who is down. this is like what happened saturday night in vegas where the guy was jumping over the ring and starting a fight in the crowd. the fight is over. >> greg: you just said the fight is not over. >> juan: in political terms it's not over. you talk about independents. independents disagree with the way republicans handled it. it's not close.

the question is whether he will be trusted by the grassroots of the democratic party that is getting more progressiveain, you would have to win in the early progressive states, namely iowa and the iowa caucuses. could he do that? one thing we could conclude is the democratic field in 2020 is shaping up as big, just like republicans were in 2016, and it will be very intriguing to watch him in that mix. >> what i think is interesting is michael bloomberg is a political shape shifter, he was a democrat for years and a republican for years and a independent for years, and today he's an democrat again, and that may sound strange except so are many americans. the people in the polar extreme get a lot of attention. >> i think david pointed out that michael bloomberg took a hard look at running as an independent, and even though many americans do identify that way, it's difficult in our political system to run a viable campaign as an independent. it's structurally a difficult thing and people have not had much success with it. i will point out as voters have drifted away from party loyalty, the parties have

just their candidate, tucker, for attorney general, but across the left, for the democratic party, a leader of the progressivet just in minnesota, but nationally. the vice chair of the democratic national committee is who they were investigating, and they hired their own lawyer, not an outside independent lawyer, their own lawyer, and a law firm that raised over half a million dollars for democratic candidates in over $50,000 per keith ellison himself. >> tucker: that is not legitimate. karen, you have said, allegedly, there is a video that shows you being dragged off the bed by keith ellison, him swearing at you. it does that do exist? >> yes. >> tucker: will the public have a chance to see it? >> of the public will not have a chance to see it. that is my pain, and for something like that, for everyone to look at and boggle over, something that very traumatizing for me, absolutely not. i would not allow the public to see it. if and when i decide to show it to somebody, it will be in my time. this is a process. and just to find the courage to come out and break my silence, as i said, knowing the backlash that

now and tomorrow's vote, you are going to see the establish -- the activist wing of the democratic party, progressivesy to get him in line with the rest of the democrats. he will have to decide who he wants to appease more, the people of west virginia or the extreme parts of the democratic party. i think that's really the choice that he is going to have to make in the next less than 24 hours at this point. >> sandra: ed, you go back to the opening arguments that we heard from leaders in the senate ahead of this vote taking place a short time ago. chuck grassley lashing out at the left wing groups that he said have tried to take down president trump's nominee as nothing short of monstrous. dianne feinstein of california said a man filled with anger and aggression. he is unfit for the supreme court, brett kavanaugh. these are some of the words that were thrown out there before this vote took place. >> i go back to june 28th of this year right when all this opened up and president trump was going to have the nomination, the beginning of july. chris matthews was on msnbc and i checked it. this is the time

or is this that same, sort of progressive, let's say, wing of the democratic party wanting to go for something that perhaps cooler political heads don't want to go there because it's just going to fire up the republican base. >> certainly, and i actually -- it may have gotten a little bit lost in the noise, it was last week. but nancy pelosi has also addressed this idea and has essentially said, guys, we got bigger fish to fry and we have to worry about brett kavanagh right out of the gate. if democrats take back the house of representatives and have the chance to suddenly pull the levers of power, i think there are a lot of things that are higher up on the list, starting with a lot of investigations that they're already planning for, and there's word out of the white house that they're really starting to ramp up with that. so while clearly this is still at the forefront and is going to be a big theme in the midterms, i think it's going to be quickly shoved on the back burner. as you pointed out, there are progressives that are still going after this. but i think there's some questio

to date that she is serious about a potential 2020 bid, and she is a progressive and represents that branch of the democratic party, and she wants this issue that has been dogging her off of the table. she wants to move beyond it, and also making the point, andrea, she is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with president trump. i asked the president if he sees this as effectively elizabeth warren all but announcing that she is running in 2020 and the president surprisingly said game-on, and i hope she runs saying that he thinks that he would be able to beat her, but bottom line, andrea, this is one step closer to what we might see in 2020. >> and multiply that times perhaps 20 democrats all lining up, and it is going to be looking like the republican field in 2016 initially until donald trump sort of drove everyone else out. and speaking of that, jim massena, you tweeted yesterday that arguing the substance all you want, but why 22 days before a crucial election where we need to save the house to save america, and why did she have to do that before, and why can't the dems stay focused and why can't they? >> well, look, w

people to vote organize our get out the vote campaigns and it's not just on the democratic party side or on the progressive side you're also seeing more people who support for a couple of small the nation becoming similarly energized because this is a big term election for them for congress typically you see more older voters coming out more conservative voters coming out you see more liberal or progressive voters coming out during presidential elections but because of the debate in the united states in the past year about such will harassment about sexual abuse about the abuse of power and the numbers of women coming out to say that this is happened to them or to someone they know and that the power structure needs to be changed you're going to see a lot of activity now in the nets for the house weeks by both parties by activists from both sides because of what has been happening around the count all the nomination. was in jordan on capitol hill in washington thank you very much and we've just had reaction from president donald trump who has said he is very proud to have the senate has said it is set to v

democrats, candidates emerged almost from the base, base of their party, desantis and kemp wrapped around trump to beat centrist bush candidates. in the democratic side, two candidates, really the progressivergy, so you have far ideology divide. one of these two is going to win, it's a very different government in both states. >> well, i think that's right. you thought to consider republicans will probably hold legislature in both sides, you see andrew gillum, 15-dollar minimum wage, medicaid expansion u free college tuition, stacy abrams supports many of the same things and they'll be pushing those, i think some republicans, you know, moderates may go along. you have to consider in kansas another governor's race that's up for grabs, republicans, many republicans in the legislature support medicaid expansion and some of the goals of the democrat. paul: adam putnam running in florida, member of congress and he lost to the current -- to desantis and i think putnam right now would be running away with this race. >> yeah, i'm not sure. as you say it's a black and white divide. i think it's also a harboring for 2020 that if democrats can win on this progressive agenda, it'll give them more conf

democrats almost as a hedge. they do not want progressives to be the loudest voices, they do not want everyone in unison the democratic party in forbanks, get goldman oversight hearings, so on and so forth. in that sense it is a bit of a hedge. david: and they have some concerns about representative maxine waters, as well as elizabeth warren. warren, a big part of her platform is bashing banks. it is why we all know who she is. she rose to fame in the aftermath of the financial crisis. maxine waters can kind of be described as more in light. where she will not be is potentially holding a gavel under the next congress. she could be leading the financial services committee, while warren will probably still be in the minority in the senate and most of what she can accomplish will be done through letter writing, whereas maxine waters can actually have an agenda on that committee of ringing banks up for criticism, bringing regulators appointed by trump up for criticism, so on and so forth. david: which leads to the question, we are talking about the banks in the securities industry -- are they worried about investigations rather

democrats like nancy pelosi and chuck schumer aren't talking about this is because immigration has been a losing issue for the democrat party. you had liberal groups like the center for american progressending out a memo to democrats in competitive districts telling them to avoid this issue, don't talk about it. sanctuary city attacks pack a punch. that's why democrats aren't talking about it. i think president trump should give a speech tomorrow and talk about the laws that need to be changed. central american migrants coming to exploit laws, like loopholes in the 2008 -- because of loopholes in the 2008 antihuman trafficking law which makes it more difficult to send central american unaccompanied minors back. it's easier to send mexicans and canadians back. you look at how little things. seeking asylum is easy. the threshold is way too low. 80% of their people will pass their first initial interview but only 20% will be granted asylum and immigration courts. president trump should take this opportunity to address that and talk about why those laws need to change so we can avoid this in the future. >> dana: we have to do something about the drug cartels. midterm elections are over a

democratic debating society to win an election is going to have to get people feeling something. >> this is the existential crisis for the democratic party right now. you have stars on the progressive left and then you've got joe biden, tim ryan the congressman from ohio, the great economic message for the rust belt. we we are talking about people who shower after work which is a really great visual. who tried to unsuccessfully take nancy pelosi's spot in leadership. i feel the push poll in your party between the joe biden sioux speak middle america fluently and then the pelosi and cortez another stars like elizabeth warren who do not. that's putting you guys, your your party in a tough spot. nancy pelosi is useful and elizabeth warren is a star of her party. in terms of getting those democrats, those lou color blue dog democrats elizabeth warren is not getting them. so the democratic party is going to have to make some tough decisions as 2020 comes. >> at the same situation that republicans had the face and 2013 with their primary race. >> he was effectively able to use that saturation pitting 16 people against one another and being the lone standout. we suffer from other problems

more traditional in their worldview, so now the democrat party has become so extreme to the left, so progressiveing with that baby boom black world view values and they are concerned about their grandchildren and what they're learning in schools, so we will see while it all plays out. our group is looking very closely at wisconsin, michigan when we are talking about the senate seats, governor seats, we should all be looking at georgia, we should look at florida and even to some degree maryland. i'm very excited about the momentum. >> tucker: if you are an african-american voter and your family has been in this country for 400 years, a long time and a lot of cases and all of a sudden your party is telling you that the real concern is people who aren't even here illegally, foreign nationals from other countries, do you ask yourself at some point but what about me, the american citizen? does that turn off voters at a certain point? >> it's not only turning them off that this hijacking of the civil rights movement is taking place for legal minorities, but illegal for a lesser even more frustrated be

themselves with as many moderates as possible who could provide a buffer to the more progressive wing of the democratic partyabeth, do some of these candidates noticed they are backed by wall street? elizabeth: it is a mix. certainly, there are a number of usual suspects, moderate democrats in the house and senate who have supported pro-bank agendas in one way or another over the years. faces,ere are some new races, moderate democrats on other issues, perhaps not as involved in financial services issues, and that is more about aligning themselves with as many allies in the party that could be empowered next congress. vonnie: thanks to bloomberg's elizabeth dexheimer. elizabeth: thank you. vonnie: do not miss our election night coverage on bloomberg t.v. and radio. david westin leads our all-star and manyevin cirilli, more. that starts at 7:00 p.m. eastern on election night. do not miss it. guy: still ahead, traders are not punishing standard chartered for its results of byron. they were a little lackluster. why not? we will talk about that. also, we will put futures in focus. this is bloomberg. ♪ live from l

raised tens of millions of dollars from all over the country with the progressive social alibris to movement of the democratic partyhis election. >> this is a locally grounded campaign drawing national attention and i'm proud of the fact that i've more individual donors from the state of georgia than my opponent doesn't by a factor of at least five. >> early voting has been heavy in both republican and democratic districts, and the poll shows the race as a statistical tie so it's all about getting the base to the polls. >> brian kemp needs to appeal to rural voters and that's the base that still supports president trump. stacy abrams is focusing heavily on younger voters and minority borders and it's a strong strategy because those voting blocks tend to turn out at a lower rate. >> president obama plans to be here friday and then sunday he plans to hold a rally for kemp down in macon. >> dana: that's how you know it's big, when the big guns come in to try to fire up the bases. coming up on "the five," we took a trip to blood manner. >> you go first. >> no, i can't. i'm so scared. >> dana: so one of the things about

democratic party, it is a very balanced party. we have the moderates, conservatives, and a lot of liberals and progressives but one thing that the partye value was. we want to protect democracy, we want to focus on lowering prescription drug prices, want to talk about health care. protecting our border. it is a very important concern of democrats but we also want comprehensive immigration reform. so what i'm hearing from all the different -- i've been at the table and it's like having the united nations when you look at that may come in all shapes and sizes end. >> harris: has been explained by ambassador. so talk to me about the party that you left because it is different now and i know you talk about balance. there would be an argument that when you might not even have a mini blue wave right now because there is some discord within your party about who you really are. >> here's what i'm seeing. we have so many young talented people running for governor. everyone is focused on the house and the senate. was going to take over the house, let's talk about governors. >> harris: you said they were young. and you and i are trying to be you

in our democratic autopsy report where we itemize where the party has gotten better in the last couple democracy inernal the power -- in the party, getting rid of superdelegates. that is progresseach for voter participation, voter outreach in 31 states, that is terrific. a negative is this fealty, this deference from the top of the democratic party, not all democrats but most of the termrship and i use that -- on the war train and we are sick of war. 17 years of squandering money and sending missiles and other countries, totally counterproductive. i am also going to quote martin luther king jr. who denounced what he called the madness of militarism. he said that that has to be challenged and has to be stopped. it is as true as it is in 2018 as it was in 1967. host: i want to go back to what you were saying about the democratic leadership. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. you made reference to senator cory booker. in regards to the new jersey democrat, were you saying he was for wall street before he was against it? guest: when president obama took small, to, fairly challenge wall street, cory booker with public to say that president obama was being too tough on wall street. tha

democratic side, there are diverse voices. they are listening and they are fighting. don't ever think we haven't made progress. and i keep that in my heart. >> when i think about the democratic party and its efforts, honestly, to capitalize on this fight and the frustration that people feel who were against kavanaugh and people who thought that the democratic fight might succeed and now today they realize it hasn't, i do wonder about senator manchin. i know that he is a beloved colleague for both republican and democratic senators. i know that he is a friend to a lot of senators as well as being a colleague. him crossing over and deciding to vote for judge kavanaugh, i have to ask if that was the subject of a lot of interparty discussion, if he was lobbied hard, if this is going to be an issue in terms of support for his re-election effort in west virginia, how that proceeds? because the democratic party can't say as a unit, as a unified force, we were all opposed to this. >> well, i have to tell you that each senator has to make their own decision, and we certainly understand that in our caucus, but i can tell you how i feel, which is that this motivates me more than ever to get

democratic party right now. you have stars on the progressive left, and then you've got your joe biden's, tim ryan, the congressman from ohio, who really has a great economic message for the rust belt. he talks about people who shower after work, which is a really great visual. he tried to unsuccessfully take incy pelosi's spot leadership, and i feel this push-pull in your party between the joe biden's who speak middle america fluently and then the elizabethnd cortez's, warns who do not -- elizabeth do not. who and that is putting your party in a tough spot. nancy pelosi is useful, and elizabeth warren is a star of her party. but in terms of getting those democrats, those blue-collar democrats, those blue dog democrats, rust belt democrats, elizabeth warren is not getting them. is goingmocratic party to have to make some tough decisions, i think, as 2020 comes. >> it is a similar situation to what republicans faced in 2016 with their primary. >> well, we have a lot of candidates. effectively able to use that saturation, you know, pitting 16 people against one another and being the lone standout. we suffer from oth

democratic party is moving a bit more left. i think it might be smarter to put up a progressive more in the style of warren or sanders to really excite the party. i don't know that biden is going to do that. >> jay and laura, please stay with me right now. i'm going to get back to you in skbr just a moment. we have new reaction from the fallout of trump and the saudi journalist. jeff bennett is joining me at his post there at 1600 pa avenue. what's the latest on this, jeff? >> trump threw out something of a qualified warning to saudi arabia, telling the kingdom if they found they had played a role in the distance of khashoggi, they would have to pay for it. there are rewards and punishments, and trump has already removed from the table what would perhaps be the greatest punishment. he said he would not cancel this $110 billion u.s.-saudi arms deal. the president making the claim to reporters yesterday that it would harm u.s. workers more than it would saudi arabia. as the president said yesterday, we would just be hurting ourselves. now, larry kudlow, who is the president's national economic adviser, he made the sunday show rou

will not run for president but some of the fissures within the democratic party where you'll see in the primaries. centrists, versus progressiveshow she described herself as a democrat that doesn't necessarily have a knee jerk reaction to the president like some others in her party where she doesn't go up against everything that the president says and does. >> you also see it's interesting in some of the ads and competitive house races president trump is not mentioned. democrats running on issues other than president trump which suggests to me that president trump's political position is stronger than we sometimes think. elizabeth warren, it is interesting. senator john tester of montana who is in a tight race zinged elizabeth warren recently. if you run for president you want to be attacked because it draws more attention to you. it shows warren's rising profile within the democratic party. >> the sound we're hearing in the background is the bus backing up over elizabeth warren. so much for girl power in the democratic party. she threw her under the bus. >> bill: alex core is the manager for the boston red sox and he doesn't n

it's a gamble of the corruption of clinton winning the democratic party, and it gave trump an opening. so if we're going to have progressives to put forward a very different story, narrative, that connects to the frustrations of ordinary people, they have to be as far removed from that world as they possibly can be, and i think we've talked about public options, we've talked about strengthening the public sector, but i think we need to go beyond some of the assumptions about, yes, of course we want to clean up markets, we want honest markets, we want regulated markets, but maybe we need a small market realm altogether. some people would call this socialism, and it's really interesting that bernie sanders dard dared to call himself a socialist and that was actually a plus for a lot of younger people. when i give a book talk about managed capitalism, invariably someone puts up their hand and says, why would you want to have managed capitalism? why not have social democracy or socialism? the title of my last book was "can democracy survive global capitalism?" i think of democracies to survive. it's going to require a much smal
