first, deval patrick. should he do it? >> i don't know what the path is, who's advising him to do that, who he's talking to. if seems to, way too late to

time a democrat comes into the race, whether it's michael bloomberg, he's a democrat now, or its deval patrickit just tells you how chaotic and unsettled the democratic race is. >> newcomers are being singled out by the sanders camping too. advisor jeff weaver called a bloomberg for spending billions and patrick for working at bain capital, the investment firm cofounded by mitt romney. now democrats are warning of a contested convention. >> with upper body taking a share of the votes, you could see two or three candidates viable going into the convention, which this time is in july. >> in swing state north carolina, a fox news poll shows biden and bernie sanders is the only democrats beating trump head-to-head. but patrick says he's known it will be tough catching up since his chat with barack obama. >> the way i described it to him is that if running for president as a hail mary under any circumstance, this is like a hail mary to stations over. >> he's late, but this will be biden's first public appearance since his name was first mentioned at that first public impeachment hearing, but 2300 m

deval patrick, former governor of massachusetts, has entered the fray with less than three months to go before the io caucuses. it is a new twist to the turbulent primary. mr. patrick says he is running for people who feel left out and want a better future, and he is seen as a centrist who could dent joe biden's support. mr. patrick: i am today announcing my candidacy for president of the unitestates. laura: with that, deval patrick announced his late in the day campaign. you might have thought that the packed democratic field was finally thinning out, but no. the foer massachusetts vernor sees an opportunity. mr.we patrickeem to be migrating to on the one camp nostalgia, let's just get rid of the incumbent president and we will go back to doing what we used to do, or it is our way, our big idea, or no way. laura: that seems like a takedown of thfront runners of e nomination, particularly joe biden and elizabeth warren. losing no me, deval patrick was off to new hampshire to register for the first in the nation primary. mr. patrick: high hop e for everyonerywhere. laura: thati is a st

by the way, deval patrick will be among my guests this sunday on meet the press."the washington post" host the next debate live from tyler perry studios. that will be wednesday 9:00 p.m. eastern. gordon sondland in the day and the democratic debate at night. how about that for your hump day next week? next, can president trump and the rnc rescue another governor or will the kentucky loss extend into louisiana? or will the kentucky loss extend into louisiana re real people than me: jd power. 448,134 to be exact. they answered 410 questions in 8 categories about vehicle quality. and when they were done, chevy earned more j.d. power quality awards across cars, trucks and suvs than any other brand over the last four years. so on behalf of chevrolet, i want to say "thank you, real people." you're welcome. we're gonna need a bigger room. tothe problem is corporationsfix anything. and the people who run and own them have purchased our democracy. here's the difference between me and the other candidates. i don't think we can fix our democracy from the inside. i don't beli

>>> in our 2020 lead today former massachusetts governor deval patrick announced he's running for president just 80 days before the primaries begin. patrick filing for the new hampshire primary today and cnn's jeff zeleny reports with former new york mayor michael bloomberg also considering a run, the democratic candidates are getting more jammed up. >> reporter: beginning in 80 days, the democratic field suddenly growing. former massachusetts governor deval patrick jumping into the 2020 race today in new hampshire after saying no to a run nearly a year ago. he's been watching the campaign from the sidelines and believes there's an opening right down the middle. >> it has felt to me watching the race unfold that we are beginning to break into sort of camps of nostalgia on one hand and big ideas sort of my way or no way on the other. >> reporter: talking about two friends now rivals, joe biden and elizabeth warren.

no one is asking for deval patrick in this race. have to figure out how this is going to work. >> you left out aim amy klobuch and a few others who said they would bridge the divide. at least it's fun. lot of action happening. enjoy friday, that's for sure. thank you. >> after the break, one of the defining questions of this democratic race. just how durable is joe biden? just how durable is joe biden? that's why i'm partnering with cigna to remind you to go in for your annual check-up, and be open with your doctor about anything you feel - physically and emotionally. but now cigna has a plan that can help everyone see stress differently. just find a period of time to unwind. a location to de-stress. an activity to enjoy. or the name of someone to talk to. to create a plan that works for you, visit cigna.com/mystressplan. cigna. together, all the way. we have some great new ideas that we want to present to you today.

deval patrick is begin his early state swing in the granite state. he's been throwing a little bit of shade because as he articulated where he could find a place in this crowded field this is what he told cbs earlier. >> but we seem to be migrating to on the one camp sort of nostalgia, let's just get rid, if you will, of the incumbent president and going back to doing what we used to do or it's our way, our big idea or no way. and neither of those it seems to me seizes the moment to pull the nation together and bring some humility that we have ideas no one candidate or no one party -- >> you -- >> so hallie, when he talks about nostalgia and the idea of just beating trump who does that sound like, former vice president joe biden. when he talks about this idea my idea, the big idea or no idea other than that, that's a criticism that biden has been making of fellow massachusetts senator elizabeth warren. in talking to deval patrick advisers and people close to him, they say this isn't about just one candidate, about a guy, deval patrick, who feels he h

you hear deval patrick is running really hard late into the race.aggering. tat trick's campaign would need to hire as many as 90 staffers to match the sanders campaign, rent a dozen office spaces throughout the state to compete with pete buttigieg, and make tens of thousands of voters contact to even begin to approach elizabeth warren's outreach. biden has relationships here, and in iowa going back more than three decades. how hard is it going to be for him to pull anything off? >> obviously, you look at those numbers seems like it's quite impossible, but i do not think this is necessarily a ploy by deval patrick to become the next president of the united states. i think that this is a way to introduce him to the american voters so he can be the next vp pick by one of the current presidential candidates. here's why. patrick has what i will call an obama anointing. you look at his background, his family, he's a black man, married to a black woman, two daughters. you know? harvard law graduate. grew up, single mom on the south side of chicago. he has

i like deval patrick. i think he was a great governor. see him in the race, because he is actually going to amplify a different set of ideas on the debate stage. at the end of the day, it's too late for deval patrick to get the nomination. it is certainly too late for michael bloomberg to do it. >> harris: kayleigh, is it too late for republicans to look across the aisle and say, "hey, the water is getting pretty murky over there, so and people are jumping in." >> it's too late for anyone of them jumping in now. if this is an indication of how weak this field is, this is a field of losers. none of them can be at president trump. and they all have to embrace extreme positions. i gave jose four radical policy positions from buttigieg come and look at biden. he wants to eliminate fossil fuels come he wants a single-payer option because the public option would make that happen. he wants health care for illegal immigrants. these are not moderates. >> harris: i how do you on my panel of the town hall in iowa. i like having one of the same time.

it was deval patrick had had to implement it.democrats lost was because they did not listen to the people. and obviously that's part of his pitch. he is all ears what america -- brian: if i could just add this. in terms of likability, great personal story from nowhere to going to harvard and harvard law and to become a two-term governor. when he has been on with us before, you know, different things have happened in massachusetts with the snow in particular stands out. he has been quite composed and intellectual guy. is he closer to barack obama than anyone else. it will be great to see somebody on that stage that is a little measured in what they were saying. because one is trying to outleft the other come debate time. ainsley: he was u.s. assistant ag civil rights division under bill clinton. elected governor shows his likabilities. a year ago he talked about getting into the race. he hired president obama's top aides to come and help him with the campaign. he decided for personal reasons not to run. but clearly he believes tha

deval patrick has an inspirational story.o harvard and became1 chicago he went to harvard and became 1 of the 1st american african governors in the nation, a friend of barack obama. his challenges to raise money and build an organisation to show he can shake a race. laura trevelyan there. police in london have foiled an attempt to steal two paintings by rembrandt, worth around £100 million each, from england's oldest public art gallery on tuesday. but police managed to stop them after alarms went off at the dulwich picture gallery in south london. an intruder was chased but was apparently able to get away. south korea is running out of children. it has one of the lowest birth rates in the world. the impact is being keenly felt in rural areas where schools are struggling to fill classrooms and stay open. facing a year without any first graders, one school in the south west has opened its doors to grandmothers who'd never had the chance to learn to read and write. this from our correspondent, laura bicker. "we will study hard",

do you think they will go after deval patrick the way they went after mitt romney for his association capital? >> they will go after him if they think it will affect their candidacy, no doubt. i just still remember the romney thing because i remember a very we wealthy guy ran, and they said nothing about his wealth. and all of a sudden romney ran, i mean, it's amazing to watch politics and how it plays out. david: by the way, elizabeth warren for all her leftist rhetoric, has 12 million dollars, steve, that's ain't nothing? >> how did she get it? she's been a politician and university professor her whole life. when you asked that question whether they would attack patrick for being at bain capital when they did romney? are you accusing the left of having a double-standard? i mean come on, that never happens. [laughter] >> and even the centrists, the so called centrists in the democratic party, david, support universal healthcare, a public option and think that in the case of deval patrick think warren's wealth tax is in effect a good idea. the progressive ideology is still there even

and i don't know that deval patrick's entry, i know that he's a favorite of a lot of the obama people, but i don't know that his entry is going to change that basic dynamic. >> you know, eddie, govern far patrick close friends with president obama, bunch of the advisers they shared over the years. he was with president obama a few weeks ago. and he's a tv commentator right now and an analyst and he's been on television behind closed doors saying i've always believed joe biden's support is soft. he's been waiting for him to collapse. he's saying outloud, i don't think he's a strong front runner. do you think he'll get in and what kind of difference he would make if he did? >> i think we need to put a pin on this, that bloomberg and deval patrick and all the murmuring suggests that a particular segment of the democratic party is worried about joe biden. they're concerned that he cannot in some way carry forward, win the nomination and move forward and beat donald trump. i think their concern is about the left wing or the progressive side of the party, whether or not what does that mean

how would you describe deval patrick? >> well, i have broad -- that notion of community they described earlier that we have to understand we have a stake in our neighbors' dreams and struggles as well as our own. as well as what i call generational response, which ast an old idea that we're supposed to do what we can in our time to leech things better for those that come behind us. those two values i've brought to every job i've ever done. that's what i mean when i say i've never taken a job where i've left my conscious at the door or never taken a job where i felt i had to. so whether it was advancing the agenda into civil rights, whether it was in new rights or n behalf of some newly covered constituencies, if you will, or the work we did to make the employment practices work in big companies like tex ca -- texaco and coca-cola or move away from certain products into healthier products. the work we did on a whole host of fronts while in government, or the work i'm doing now, or did now before jumping into the bing capit

in the case of deval patrick in particular.re is what deval patrick brings to the field that's missing. he actually has governing experience. he's a governor of what is seen to be a blue state and actually done some transformative things there. before leaving office passed a $13 billion infrastructure bill. beyond that one of the first governors in the country to extend health care access to those addicted to drugs, which is addicted to opioids, something other states are now trying to adopt. on top of that, he's made moves on a lot of various issues. will he have trouble answering some on-- of course he will, but-- >> when you start talking about deval patrick rattling for two or three things, spending 13 billion dollars, spending on infrastructure, spending on health care. doesn't your party have a problem now when elizabeth warren is outspending bernie sanders, a democratic socialist, and some estimates are the price tag of $52 trillion for medicare for all? isn't that moving too far left? >> i don't think it's too far to th

. >> deval patrick has also enters the race. a spokesman said part of his running is he's not impressed with the present field that they could beat donald trump. deval patrick has not said -- he was on this show last night, but his entry suggests he does not feel we have the candidates to beat donald trump. why do you feel, talking to the american public, why do you think you're the best one to carry the scorch for the democratic party and you could in fact beat donald trump? >> i believe justice is on the ballot in 2020, when we're looking at the fact that most working families in america are paying more taxes than the 400 richest families in america, justice and economic justice is on the ballot. you look at the fact that 30 million people don't have access to healthcare and we have seniors splitting their pills and making decisions whether they fill their refrigerator or fill their prescriptions, healthcare justice is on the ballot. i look at our babies, elementary and high school children are in fear and shot in the classroo

but let me go to what it's saying, both bloomberg and deval patrick.- this is also what president obama said. i give elizabeth warren and bernie sanders credit. they brought their "a" game to the policy debate. there's a history from the new deal to president obama, respecting the value of work, shared responsibility and the opportunity. free income, college, guaranteed health care has walked away from the traditional democratic system. social security, payroll tax, medicare, payroll tax, earned income tax credit is based on work. americore under president clinton is service to country. the candidates have to bring their "a" game to the policy debate. >> i wonder if elizabeth warren was getting some part of that message this week. she made a pretty big shift. she had been hard lined for medicare for all including taking away people's private health insurance. now she said no. we'll pass what pete buttigieg and joe biden wanted, medicare for all who want it. put off the big plan for later. >> i don't know where that's coming from. her trying to answer q

. >>> and another democrat may enter the 2020 race, former massachusetts governor deval patrick is reportedly considering a late entry. >>> good morning, everybody. it is tuesday, november 12, i'm yasmin vossoughian. we begin with the latest testimony released in the impeachment probe, building on the narrative that president trump sought political favors from ukraine in exchange for military aid. the top pentagon official on u.s. policy in ukraine, laura cooper, told lawmakers that the president directed the administration to freeze the aid over the summer. cooper said when officials learned about it, quote, there was not an understanding of how this could legally play out. she also told lawmakers about a conversation with the then u.s. envoy to ukraine kurt volker that the aid would be released if the government of ukraine released a statement disavowing interference in the 2016 election and committed to prosecuting anybody involved. the testimony from cooper, and the ukraine specialist at the state department katherine croft, which was also released yesterday, struck at the heart of the re

her hope is that deval patrick will run. that is certainly part of this. the kind of broader african-american donor class, too, john, sort of looking at the candidates out there and i think deval is someone that can be very appealing to those folks. >> very quick last question. rudy giuliani considering a podcast. you are a multimedia mogul. how good of an idea is it for the president's lawyer to launch a podcast about impeachment? >> so i am not, to my mother's chagrin, i'm not a lawyer, but if i was a lawyer, and i can imagine anyone who is a lawyer would tell rudy giuliani, this is a bad idea. more talking for rudy giuliani does not seem to be the recipe for success. and i would remind people, he is under not one, but two federal investigations here. i mean, this is not -- we joke about it, but the idea of having a podcast where you can just talk about whatever for as long as you want, it seems to me a recipe for disaster if you're rudy giuliani, though i would guess it would be relatively interesting listening from just a listener's perspective, which,

time saying, hey, wait, i think patrick devol is his candidate, i think it's ironic -- >> juan: deval patrick> greg: it should be patrick devol. >> jeanine: it's interesting he comes out at the same time deval patrick comes out. >> juan: is he defending his legacy here? >> dana: when this primary season started a couple of months ago he said he's got a chance to be either a peacemaker or a kingmaker when it comes to what could possibly be a contested convention coming up. i do think though that he has now been supplanted. it's almost as if time moves so quickly that now barack obama is so far in the past that the party has passed him by and if you have someone like bernie sanders who is taking on the most popular democrat in the country, which is barack obama still, and his numbers don't go up very much. biden has been consistent all the way through, but i do think it's really amazing that barack obama has chosen to be pretty quiet. he went -- i do not think it was tied to deval patrick but he went to the event friday night, signed if the alarm that they do not want to listen to him. that's p

and they have said they may like deval patrick. they're just not even going to consider him bah he got in too late. >> maybe that why mike bloomberg decided i'm just going to skip the first ones. james. always great talking to you. >> and up next, from architect of trump's middle east peace plan to project manager of his border wall, the president's son-in-law, jared kushner's list of west wing responsibilities just keeps growing. what are his qualifications? you're watching msnbc. wish i cod shake your hand.

deval patrick is a hugely impressive candidate. not only -- >> harris: do people know him?they don't, but they don't know michael bloomberg, either come outside of new york. >> harris: in the pregame polling we saw -- >> deval patrick? let's talk about patrick for a moment. he taught himself arabic crossing the sudan, is an amazing politician, very centrist for a state like massachusetts. >> harris: how is he with the people? >> he's excellent. he's a two-term governor in a state that is much more liberal than he is. and yet he handles as a black governor the white minority -- the white majority very well. >> harris: does he take that from joe biden? >> the problem is he didn't want to get in until he saw that biden's numbers were going so far down -- >> harris: is it true when people say that? "i was watching so-and-so." when they" when amy klobuchar says, "how can you know that about all the other candidates?" and paraphrasing what she says, but she has a point. out of the how do they look at the whole back and say, "none of you, it will be made." >> unless biden gets iow

and deval patrick maybe a long shot he could qualify for december. one thing to keep in mind, patrick, the former governor of massachusetts. massachusetts next door neighbor new hampshire, is there some residual sort of benefit for patrick in new hampshire? does he hit 6% coming out of the gate in a couple new hampshire polls? if he could do that in two polls between now and the middle of december, he could qualify for that debate. otherwise he's got to hit sort of 4% in some other places. it's getting tougher and tougher to qualify for these debates. as time goes on and candidates start missing multiple debates, the question does start to get raised about the future of their candidacies. >> his name is known. he's got that name id in new hampshire, steve. so then the question becomes if he starts showing up significantly. and by significantly i think 6% would be a pretty good place to start. does he hurt a elizabeth warren, does he hurt a joe biden? that's the outstanding question. >> so we saw bloomberg got included. bloomberg was thrown into one o

agree on everything be worked -- before we worked together on anything. >> how do you describe deval patrick? of patrick: that notion community that i described earlier, that we have to understand we have a stake in struggles ass well is around, which is the think everyone i learns from our grandparents, we are supposed to do everything we can in our time to make things better for those coming after us. that is what i mean when i say i have never taken a job where i have left my conscience at the door. i have never taken a job where i have to. whether it was trying to advance the agenda and civil rights, including into some new areas newly behalf of some covered constituencies, if you will, make work in bigractices companies like texaco and coca-cola or move away from certain products into healthier products. the work we did on a whole host of fronts while in government or the work i'm doing now. or i did before jumping into the race. we launched a fund to exempt companies that delivered social and environmental impacts and show that if you take what you value, you are not trading anything i

it's a very different strategy to the one deval patrick has adopted.clared himself as a candidate, michael bloomberg. right, and michael bloomberg. right, and michael bloomberg is a very different person. he has not run before because he did not think he could win. he is not doing it totally out of ego orjust wanting to play in the game. so, what he's doing in my view, i may be wrong, but what i think he is doing is keeping his options open. he knows he has to file in those states to be on the ballot. he thinks ifjoe biden goes down and there is an opening for a pragmatic, moderate candidate who can simply write a cheque for super tuesday, and for the other states, then he is ready to go. he will have an operation. he will be in the game. peter, thank you so much. we will be watching closely to find out if he does finally run this time. christian, one of the things i wa nted christian, one of the things i wanted to talk about, every campaign throws up surprises, i mean, we have the surprise additions, these late entra nts the surprise additions, these

tiel, you've been looking at deval patrick what's the rationale he's offering to get in at this late i think, sees himself as goldielocks candidate. you have bernie sanders and elizabeth warren, two candidates who are promising to fundamentally change the american capitalist system, and the candidate in fourth is pete buttigieg, the 30-something mayor who's dynamic but he's very young. so the theory is that deval patrick can come n he's 63, a two-therm governor, he's progressive, but he's a capitalist that, you know, he's worked for private enterprise, he has some experience there that he can come in and unite these factions of the party. paul: all right. kim, are you buying that rationale? do you think it's going anywhere in. >> i'm not buying at all. [laughter] here's how i see deval patrick, he is another progressive-liberal candidate among a sea of progressive-liberal candidates. and, you know, i'm just not quite sure how he would distinguish himself. look, i think one thing that he will be able to say is maybe a little bit of executive experience, right? which would, you know, p

i think that's why deval patrick ended up getting in the race he's been working at bain capit capital. he's in this world, he's not a market fundamentalist, but he's a capitalist i think there was a lot of anxiety about elizabeth warren's rise i think in the first instance he will try to prevent her from getting the nomination secondly, if as is likely, he is not the democratic nominee, i do believe he will spend a lot of money to defeat donald trump, whether it's on advertising against trump, i don't think whether or not he gets the nomination and wins the presidency is the true measure of the goal of his campaign. >> yeah, because his company as many of our viewers probably know makes money when wall street does well they buy his computer terminals. if things turn down because of wealth taxes or transaction taxes, maybe the company could suffer as well listen, you talk about a mike bloomberg, nobody came after him harder this weekend than the democrats. i mean, you look at the comments on the anger verse, which is twitter, and it's almost like because he's a billionaire he's automat

let's ask former governor and 2020 democratic candidate deval patrick.ng, alisyn. thanks for having me. >> thank you for being here. we've been looking forward to talking to you. before we get to the timing of why you got in now and what the challenges are, tell us about your motivations. what is it that the other 17 candidates in this race don't have that you think you bring to the table. >> well, you know, alisyn, i get that question a lot because i think it presumes that i only made the decision that i wanted to be a part of this election cycle recently. in fact, i was ready to go more than a year ago. and about two weeks -- 2 1/2 weeks before we were set to announce, my wife was diagnosed with uterine cancer. we did the right thing, i think, for ourselves and our family by focusing on her and on that. i'm proud to say that when we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in the spring, she's cancer-free, praise god, so that is great. and as i've watched the field, many of them friends develop and offer their message, i do sense that there's still spac

in recent weeks, two former rivals, mayor michael bloomberg and former governor deval patrick appeared so unimpressed with the strength of the democratic candidates that they climbed into a field that is growing again." guest: what is interesting is that maybe michael bloomberg and deval patrick are not impressed with the field, but if we look at the polls, democratic voters are very impressed the current michael bloomberg and deval patrick, it is almost like they see a problem where voters do not see one. it will be difficult for both. bloomberg will try to run a unique and television heavy campaign where he avoids the first four states. patrick, it gets very difficult to enter a race this late and make an impact. we have seen on the republican side before, the democratic side before. host: to that point, how viable is that, to have somebody bypassing iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, nevada, and say i will get in on super tuesday? guest: i do not think it is viable. historically what i've seen is momentum builds and that iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, and nevada will have an

latecomers, too late for deval patrick and michael bloomberg? too late, they haven't shown a rationale for their candidacy, pete buttigieg and joe biden created a revolution for their campaign. going forward, donald trump has changed american politics. our constitution is under assault, our democracy is under attack, and that's why you see democrats certainly fighting for a progressive agenda, but also most importantly keeping focus on what's at stake in this election, and that's defeating donald trump. basically the only members on his team are on parole. so we have to stand up for the corruption that represents. >> i love you all. beautiful words, beautiful people. fantastic points of view. robert zimmerman, ana navarro, angela rye, thank you. >>> we'll be right back. lan, invest and protect for the future. so they'll be okay? i think they'll be fine. voya. helping you to and through retirement. and everyone has dad's eyebrows! we chose eleanor. it was great-grandma's name. so apparently, we come from a long line of haberdashers, which is a fa

sunday night at 9:00, for campaign 2020, c-span speaks with deval patrick and michael bennet. former governor deval patrick talks about his background, his friendship with president obama, his aspirations if elected, and his late entry into the crowded democratic field. at 930 time, senator michael bennet on why he decided to run for president, his leadership style and his stance on policy issues. watch c-span this weekend. former u.s. ambassador's to persia and -- persian gulf countries talked about security in the region. this event was hosted at the university of michigan for school of public policy. john: hello, everybody. and welcome. i would like first to add my thanks to the wiser family as a well as to the academy of diplomacy which we've been fortunate to partner with to bring today's topic. today's topic is timely and extremely important. we're going to talk about u.s.-iran negotiations, politics and security in the gulf more generally. and of course, those issues are linked to a

is one of the most persuasive democrats in that party, and it says something -- and if he backs deval patrick is over for biden. think bloomberg and patrick are looking at the party and it seems like a generic alternative to the the real thing. you want coke but this is rc. you want letterman, it's seth meyers. i think the democrats are waking up about the crowd now. they know impeachment is a media graph and the economy is just exploding. jamie dimon said it is the best economy ever. they say it will last for 100 years. so will the trump dynasty. >> katie: joe biden reportedly called the former governor. what do you think? >> juan: i think this is -- 's before he called joe biden the other way around, that he was going to jump in. >> juan: deval patrick is a wonderful guy but i don't think he has much to add to this field. the question is whether or not joe biden is imploding. joe biden is imploding then you have a vacuum and you have a lot of people that say, i could fit the bill. but for the moment, joe biden is not imploding in terms of the national polls. the polls in this, they say, i s

don also asked about former new york maybe mike blomberg, former mayor deval patrick entering the race. what he said. >> folks in the room recently got in the room think you're not in shape, one is mayor bloomberg. >> come on. >> go on. >> come on. no. i'm going to say, come on! i welcome the competition, someone in his campaign said, or someone said specifically, specific concerns about your ability to carry it through to the finish line. what do you say about that? >> watch me. watch me. the idea that i'm not in better shape than mayor bloomberg physically and otherwise? look, this -- trump is so bad as a president, and so corrupt as a president that everybody in america who's ever been involved in politics especially if they had a billion dollars thinks they can beat trump. maybe they could. what do you have to do? i'm the guy ted sitting atop the pyramid. i get it. i'm a big boy, never complain, never explain. >> devalue patrick doesn't have a billion dollars? >> no. they showed me the other day he went down to -- never mind. went to morehouse noonand no on showed up. i like devaud

we can do that to make sure we are on the ballot if we do run. >> former massachusetts governor deval patricknd and ally of former president obama, is also considering a run for the democratic presidential nomination. if you're keeping score, patrick also said that he would not run. finally, lawyers for tulsi gabbard, who is already running for president, are now calling on hillary clinton to retract her comments saying gabbard is a favorite candidate of the russians, and that they are grooming her as a third-party candidate. gabbard has consistently denied any interest in a third-party run. tucker? >> tucker: gabbard and putin 2020. trace gallagher, good to see you. is hillary clinton next? and by the way, why wouldn't she jump in? everyone else has. richard goodstein is a former advisor to both clinton's, and he joins us tonight. you just heard hillary say it. many, many people are putting very, very intense pressure on hillary clinton to run for president. basically, they are demanding she run. are you one of the people demanding? >> so, i'm just surprised fox news hasn't come up with a po

obama administration officials and aides love joe biden, they also love deval patrick.will be interesting to see how people from the obama years sort of gravitate toward deval patrick and many of them are on the side of joe biden right now. >> many of them are. it's interesting, though, the president and those around him reportedly were pushing -- pushing deval patrick into the race. and we, of course, heard that president obama, at times, was in iffy at best of joe biden's possible run. it will be interesting to see how much of obama world jumps in and helps deval patrick. you know, jon meacham, the events of the last week are very interesting as it pertains to michael bloomberg and now deval patrick. and it's very interesting in that if either one of those two candidates are successful in the least, that it shatters forever this political model that you have to throw a grand piano on your back and a knife between your teeth and hike up mount ki kilimanjaro for a year and a half campaigning and slogging and basically just killing yourself so you can put your stakes dow

>> deval patrick. look at "the new york times" article. talk about how he's going to win the black vote. excuse me. biden is doing well, we've got corey booker and kamala harris, i will bet you that patrick is not going to get in or is not going to do well, joe biden is ahead by 12 points, ahead in arizona and michigan and florida in all the other recent polls. >> laura: ok. hillary clinton -- again, i'm going to ignore your defamatory comments about our president because that's what they are but the idea that -- the idea that this is a confident field, matt schlaap when we've got like everyone and their half brother jumping in this race at this stage when people have raised their money? come on. that doesn't pass the straight -- >> the question is the timing. they're getting in so late, these late-breaking candidates can't even sign up in the early states. why is it interesting that eric holder and deval patrick are considering running? it's at the heart of the strength. african-american voters. and african-americans in the democratic par

now deval patrick and michael bloomberg are looking at data, they're talking to obama.hat's going to be convincing enough to people. >> philippe, you're been a great guest. i was upset when you went on tucker's show. take a look at this. >> well, ambushed on "up." >> if she still thought that all, if she thought she had the best odds of beating donald trump, i think she'd think about it long and run. she's not running because she has any anxiety about the democratic field. she really like as lot of the people running. she knows them well. she thought about some of them as her vice president. >> for those who don't understand or dwhoenwho don't w fox, scripts were ripped to make room for this. let's take a listen to what she had to say. >> as i say, never say never. i will certainly tell you, i'm from enormous pressure from many, many people to think about it, but as of this moment sitting here in this studio talking to you, that's absolutely not in my plans. >> absolutely not in her plans. can you make it so we rip up the scripts for the rest of the day? >> never say ne

joining me now is deval patrick. mr. welcome to "politicsnation." >> thank you, reverend al. thanks for having me. i have to tell you, after the commentary, it feels like you just dropped the mic. there's nothing else to say. >> you don't have to campaign to me, but i get your point. let me ask you, over the last year, many people i know tried to urge you to run and you would not say you were running. you, in fact, said no a few times. a few times you said you were thinking about it. what changed your mind at this what would seem to be a late date to decide to throw your hat in the ring? >> you know, two things i want to say. first of all, it was about a year ago, reverend al, i think you know when we were a couple weeks from announcing a campaign. my wife was diagnosed with uterine cancer. i think the right thing for me and for her and for our family was for us to step back and focus on her and on that. i'm proud to say when we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in may, she's cancer free. >> wow. >> and she's gotte

deval patrick, former democratic governor of massachusetts, filed the paperwork to be a 2020 presidential candidate in new hampshire's first of the nation primary ballot and was greeted by the new after secretary of state, who explained some of the history behind the process. here is a look. >> good morning. >> power you this morning? -- how are you this morning? >> great, thank you. hi, everybody. [indiscernible] >> he paid $10 to get his name on the ballot. >> i would pay $10. >> yeah, $10. from 1916 to 1928, it was only -- on the ballot. in 1929, the legislature for the -- putime had a separate on the ballot. in 1952, it was the first time that new hampshire voters would actually vote republican. president since then, every person has won the new hampshire primary. [laughter] yeah. the first president showed which primaries they won. this president was not elected but he won. there has been 17 presidential area, and ofthe the 17, 14 of the winners became president that year, and the other three became -- no line [indiscernible] then they won a primary. this one happened in 1979. this o

if you want the governor, here's deval patrick.he's going to have to have a much better answer on bane capital. i kind of couldn't believe what i was hearing there. he's going to have to talk about what work he did for bane capital, what they were paying him for. and you know, there are a lot of private equity firms. some do different kinds of business than others and different records. i'll be curious to see how he tries to position his work at his firm against the industry as a whole. >> yeah, to your point, i wanted to hear the first answer on bane. and i mean, i think by the end of the next hour, there will be attacks from other campaigns on that answer. >> well, that answer just kind of made my jaw drop a little bit because it seems so out of touch with what the actual issue that the democratic base is grappling with and their frustration with big money elites. to say, oh, but i was chair of president obama's campaign and i actually didn't believe it when i was a part of that is so cynical, it just -- that was not good. >> put

now we are learning that former massachusetts governor deval patrick is reportedly looking to fill his as well. "the new york times" reporting that patrick told democratic officials that he didn't think any of the current candidates have established political momentum, and that there is still room for someone who can unite both liberal and moderate voters. american conservative union chairman matt schlapp weighing in on the last-minute moves. >> i do think this is an sos. this is a cry for help. there's a clear division amongst -- between democrats who think that the socialists just can't get it done and what win and the general election, and then these kind of traditional democrats. haller clinton-type people. i think she is still looking at this race. >> melissa: the quinnipiac poll, joe biden is still in the lead. 20%, war and at 16, pete buttigieg at 15. where they're a bunch bunch of democrats that still seem to think he can't hold onto it or that there's room for moderates? >> jessica: because elites are disconnected from average roto rotors. 74% of democratic voters are happy wi
