and i say issues elizabeth warren of civil liberties and constitutional freedoms and that will help us change a conversation in the future so again steps along the way i'm thank you what say you are going to get. we need more champions and congress we need people with the courage and the honesty told me. it's. good on you for being willing to step up and do that i mean that's that's something that. takes a lot of the future of our country is at stake it's too important for people to stay on the sidelines we have to get involved we have to take action ok we have a half a minute left what what do you both either of you or both of you see as the most important issue right now the. jobs jobs fixing the economy for people addressing income inequality i also think constitutional freedoms climate change and expanding social security so that was for ok if we go along and also maybe our constitutional moment this is money is not we need to get big money out of. a run for federal office that's why we have a congress of millionaires serving corporate interests instead of working people wh

we begin the program with senator elizabeth warren. thank you for being here with us. >> good to be here. >> let's talk about big banks. up substantially from 2008. i know you do not like the -- but the administration is not supporting that. what could you do now to reduce this concentration? >> you have to keep up the pressure from the outside. you have to keep talking about it. we have to remind people that back in 2008 with a big crash came that remember they stood up and said we have got to build these things out because there's too much concentration in the banking industry. they are too big. we cannot let them fail. where are we today? they are bigger today here. government keeps saying the dodd frank rule is in place. i want to be clear -- those are steps in the right direction. yesterday we had a hearing. i put a question to four of them. is it too big to fail problem solved? i got mixed answers. dodd frank has been fully and vigorously forced. would that solve the too big to the problem by itself? the answers from all four wer

elizabeth warren has shown what is possible. more is going to have to change in the makeup of the senate to find out what's likely to happen. >> but when you read today e.j. dionne's piece in the "washington post," he makes an important point about the need for a strong left. he writes, when politicians can ignore the questions posed by the left and a push to focus almost exclusively on the right's concerns, the results immoderate and ultimately impractical policy. to create a real center, you need a real left. what do you think, ryan? >> i think that's right. and the additional consequence of it is that the people in the center actually then start moving left. and just take a look at bill clinton at de blasio's swearing in. bill clinton comes out and says, look. inequality is the driving force of our time. and if we think back, the clbt clintons here, these are the more centrist faction within the party. but hillary clinton i think sees kind of the way the wind is blowing here. and she has to kind of move close tore this populi

what do you think about elizabeth warren? >> well, i don't follow everything elizabeth warren says or does. i'm sure she has been a good senator for massachusetts but look, one of the things i have learned with politics over my, and i hate to say this but almost 50 years in politics is that it's a lot easier to have rhetoric and promise things than it is to actually deliver. in the end of the democratic party in power it's how you deliver. president obama delivers a 4.1% growth rate for the rest of 2014. his approval rating is going to go straight up. he doesn't have to promise that he's going to get this done or that done. you get judged on your performance. bill de blazio who is the new, will be the mayor of new york as of january 1 ran against stop-and-frisk and a lot of things like that. the first appointment you made was bill bratton as police commissioner who created that system. and so you know i don't get excited about rhetoric. everybody i think in the democratic party has progressive goals. everybody wants to see yo

we begin the program with senator elizabeth warren. you for being here with us. >> good to be here. >> i know you do not like the -- but the administration is not supporting that. >> let's talk about big banks. what could you do now to reduce this concentration?

you can see elizabeth warren polls well. made it clear she doesn't have any intentions of running as president, but you have to look at senator cloamy klobuchar. we have a number of great democratic women attorneys general across the country we should all be keeping our eyes on for the second, third and fourth democratic women president. >> what do they need to do? i know they had a woman doing the state of the union response. what do they need to do? >> you know, they need to stop having rhetoric that does one thing and policies that do another. they give good lip service to the idea that they would treat women as equal, but don't support the policies that really treat women with respect. that's a lot of what the war on women is about. it's not about a single issue, but about recognizing women are equal citizens. what stephanie is doing is so important, the conversation has so changed in terms of seeing women as capable, authoritarian, leaders who can get the job done, who are, you know, credible and confidempetent. i think

talked aboutallers elizabeth warren or alan grayson.ven if they did run they would have no chance of winning. in aemocratic party is hillary or bust mode right now. there is no plan b. i hope for her sake that she runs. hillaryter today clinton is set to address the national automobile dealers association. "since leaving her role as the nation's top diplomat she has given speeches to national groups. clinton receives about 2000 -- about $200,000 per speech. the group represents more than 16,000 new car and truck dealerships. this appearance was announced back in july." our next call comes from jamestown, north carolina. caller: thank you for taking my call. i am very happy to see a person of color as the host of "washington journal." choice for the 2016 general election would be vice president joe biden running for president and elizabeth warren running for vice president. clinton,illary although she would be a fine givedate i think it would the koch brothers and others .uel to pour in tons of money the race would then evolved into one

mark my words elizabeth warren will emerge. a lot of people behind her. >> she has a message. >> thank you. i'll finish. hinting at a new direction for the democratic party, suggesting how progressive ideals may play a larger role in the next presidential election. and president clinton embraced the progressive shift. >> i strongly endorse bill de blasio's core campaign commitment that we have to have a city of shared opportunities, shared prosperity, shared responsibilities. we are interdependent. look around. we can't get away from each other. we have to define the terms of our dependence. this inequality problem bedevils the entire country and i can tell you from my work, much of the world. but it is not just a moral outrage, it is a horrible constraint on economic growth and on giving people the security we need to tackle problems like climate change. we cannot go forward if we don't do it together. >> all right, brian. put it to the side for a second it took until bill clinton the end to acknowledge the existence even of m

we begin the program with senator elizabeth warren. you for being here with us. >> good to be here. >> let's talk about that banks. that is up substantially from 2008. i know you don't like that. but the administrations

i think elizabeth warren could give her a hell of a race in the primaries.he second problem is that story. this is like the third story we've read about potential political dysfunction. her problem is she's got a thousand generals and no sergeants. we can have 100 pages about it. that's a problem. that's been a problem before. maybe they can fix it, maybe they can't. third problem is bill. i agree she ought to be judged on her merits. but out in real voterland, it's part of the calculation in people's minds. he brings a lot to the campaign. he brings a lot of legacy to the campaign. you can't just say, i wish mitt romney tried to say bain capital is in the past. we're not going to talk about it. >> they're going to bring everything back. >> here's the thing. i think in a larger challenge what's going on inside her party. the larger challenge think about 2016. we're going to have 24 straight years of polarization. bill clinton, george w. bush, barack obama promised they were the ones that were going to change washington and get us out of this gridlocked mess.

. >> then he led tapping one of the most credible advocates elizabeth warren.lly in a 2007 paper to create a consumer bureau. republicans vowed to fight her if she was nominated as the leader. she moved on and won a senate seat. what happened to the bureau? president obama kept pushing. he picked attorney richard. republicans blocked him from a vote anyway. you may be used to gop obstruction, but this was extreme. republicans were prevents anyone from ever leading the consumer agency perhaps for obama's entire presidency. he used a recess appointment to muscle cordray into the job. finally the bureau was staffed. the bureau has fallen off d.c.'s political radar. it's drawn a lot less political media coverage. i want to look at the policy record of his first year at the bureau. american express was overcharging and deceiving its customers. it is requiring the company to stop. it cracked down on capital one and discover for deceptive sales. they did agree to reimburse over 3 million customers. this was the kind of justice that was missing before because the feds

peter barnes is standing by with none other than than senator elizabeth warren. peter, take it away. >> cheryl, thank you. we're with senator elizabeth warren to talk about the new legislation she announced yesterday with senator tom coburn. this is the truth in settlement act. what is the problem with all these settlement that is we've been seeing and reading about? and what would your legislation do? >> so, you may remember last year, i really kind of raised a fuss along with some other people why these agencies didn't take more of the big banks and other financial institutions to trial when they thought they had done something wrong. the response of the agencies was, hey, we're doing settlements and settlements are a great deal for the american taxpayer. so, if it's a great deal for the american taxpayer, then why is it they don't want to give us if you information about what the settlement is? what this law would require, the one i've just cosponsored with senator coburn, it would require the agencies to have to post online, here's what the settlement is. gif

all this talk about we are in a progressive moment, the elizabeth warren boom. >> can you say elizabetharren, who says she is not interested in running but you know politicians always say that. >> she took a hard line and said she is going to serve out the rest of her term, 2018. she says she is not going to run. warren's name is one name that continues to come up organically. frankly, it is the only name that comes up organically when he asks people, who are you looking at other than can had hk. jo john kerry, the secretary of state comes up repeatedly. elizabeth warren, she pops up all the time. >> the other name is joe biden and maryland's is thinking of a run. >> joe biden has been out to eye ba. martin o'malley has been out to iowa. i can say this, a lot of people in iowa really like joe biden but there is no one out there that thinks he is going to be the next president of the united states, carol. >> thanks so much, peter. if you want to read the rest of peter's article and his insights by hillary clinton, you can do that on our web page. >>> weeks before the winter olympics in r

elizabeth warren is probably the prime example, bill de blasio. they want to raise social security benefits, reduce the retirement age, limit ceo salaries, and those are not positions hillary will support, and with hillary's corporate contributions, she's really vulnerable to a left wing challenge just like she was in 2008. >> why am i hearing whispers that she had health issues that were far more severe than what was publicly revealed? you heard the same things or? ? >> no, i don't have any info. but i'll tell you one of her big liabilities. the minute she left as secretary of state, the first things she did was speeches for goldman sachs at 200 thousand dollars each. the left wing of the democratic party is not going to be happy about that. and hillary's close connections with wall street, i think, are going to really hurt her with the left wing of the party. we could see a replay of '08. >> and you have no down she's running. none whatsoever. >> if she's breathing, she's running, sean. >> if she's breathing, she's running? >> that's my line. th

this is what happened with elizabeth warren. the alleged native american. i think her one toe nail was cherokee. it doesn't matter. at the end, it didn't matter. she was elected because you come across as sexist if you go after somebody. her views on abortion are so extreme, i don't know if she is going to win. >> is this okay for her to change her path a little bit? is that all right? >> fake it until you make it, right? a lot of people do it, because i guess they don't realize that things exist like google. and if you're a liberal, you're not going to get called on it. really, the press was digging through sarah palin's dumpster to find something on her. they couldn't find it, so they made up their own story. was the kid really hers? she was attacked for everything even though she had a legitimate lob cabin story. >> wendy davis is being hailed as a feminist icon, a woman everyone should look up to, and these are the messages she's putting out there. you can say i hate women, all you liberals out there, fake it until you make it, can't pay for your educat

that's the de blasio, that's the elizabeth warren disease, richard. >> somewhere in there is a question yes. i mean, i certainly can guarantee governor gilmore that the president will not destroy the entrepreneurial system with the state of the union address, and i do not think he will pursue policies on the left. i think he's going to continue to pursue moderate economic policies that are good for all americans, as i believe he has been doing. i think it will include an effort to try to get congress to raise the minimum wage. i think he will talk a lot about immigration, where i think there is a good opportunity still to compromise with the republicans and get something done. i think that he will say if he can't get things done with congress, that he will not be afraid to act in this second term independently by executive order. >> well, you know, governor gilmore, again i think the minimum wage and unemployment extension, that stuff may get through. my own view, i wish it wouldn't. there are better way toss do it. but if it gets through, it would be boiled down with republicans puttin

this is elizabeth warren stuff. we need more rudy giuliani and bloomberg. all this and much more coming up on "the kudlow report" beginning right now. good evening, everyone, i'm lawrence kudlow, happy new year to everybody. we're here live, first thing we need to do is get you updated on a big winter storm hitting the midwest and heading towards the east coast. and kevin tibbles joins us, live from chicago, good evening. >> reporter: hey, larry, my lips are still moving, but only barely, i have to spit this out for you. there are parts of the midwest where it has been snowing nonstop. here alone, there are 1300 plows and trucks trying to keep the roads open. so far they're pretty successful. i have to tell you it is pretty hard to travel, it is chaos, hundreds of flights cancelled at o'hare. and as you know, that sort of thing happens on a sunny day at o'hare, so when something like that happens it really backs up things coast to coast, because almost everything goes out of o'hare when you fly across other parts of the country. everything i'm talking about

and that's why democratic senators like elizabeth warren are taking action. just on jobless aid. senator warren is already moving on a new bill to reform the student loan system. and president obama is promising a year of action on fairness and income inequality. including a coordinated effort to increase the minimum wage. a progressive agenda becoming an american reality. even if the leader of the republican party doesn't know it. yet. >> the answer to this is not the government. it isn't redistribution. because the government doesn't create anything. the government can only destroy wealth. it cannot create it. government simply destroys wealth. >> this is what progressives are confronting. get ready for the fight. joining me now is e.j. dionne from "the washington post." his article this week got a lot of attention. it's called "the resurgent progressives." e.j., thank you for coming on the show. >> great to be on is the show, reverend. thank you. >> we learned today house republicans aren't planning to move on jobless aid. but we also learned the president

>> that is the goal of this legislation put forward by senator elizabeth warner -- warren.er cosponsor is republican tom coburn. this legislation is going to put pressure on -- legislators to think twice before they enter into settlements with corporate wrongdoers. i spoke with senator warren about this legislation a short time ago. >> i asked the question last year from some of these banking regulators, when was the last time you took one of the big financial institutions to trial, and they hemmed and hot and had trouble coming up with an answer . but they said, hey, the settlements are great. they are a great deal for the american public. my view, along with senator coburn, is if they are a great deal, hang them out there for everyone to see. make them public, so we can see them and evaluate them. in other words, a little transparency in these settlements, and a little accountability for the agencies that are doing them. >> was there one case in particular, one settlement in particular that inspired you to drop -- draw up this agitation? >> there are many, but i will give

one thing she needs to pay attention to, a movement within the party, showing in people like elizabeth warrenf you work hard 40 hours a week, should be able to put food on the table, send the kids to college. somewhere in the last 10, 12 years, the rules have been changed against middle class families, and special interest, big corporations, those folks are playing by a different set of rules. she has to be able to figure out if she runs how she kind of captures that message and conveys it to the public. i think in the party there is a growing movement toward this populous messaging that she didn't really use in 2008. >> she sure didn't. do you think this is -- obviously new york city is new york city. they haven't elected a democrat mayor there in about two decades. is this a sign of something larger or is this something we could say well, that's, you know, manhattan? >> i think it is a big deal. we talk a lot about divisions on the right and the tea party. there's now a division on the left and the progressives see the new mayor as someone that's going to keep the campaign promises, a lot w

. >> -- elizabeth warren slash de blasio slash obama, or will she do what richard is suggesting and be? >> if she ever got to the white house she'd be more like her husband. but the fact is when you have 15 democratic senators sign a bill to stop the president from appeasing iran, the party has gone too far to the left. and hillary is going to have to run to the left to forestall an elizabeth warren challenge or a challenge from any other number of lefties out there. it's gone over to the edge. and this is what happens -- >> i think we're seeing a little perhaps hillary clinton endorsement right here. >> i think hillary clinton was a much stronger position in '08. younger, fresher, no baggage and a rookie came out of nowhere and took the nomination from her. >> it's all compared to what. it's all compared to what? >> it sure is. >> and i have to tell you, i've been a new york resident for a long, long time. de blasio was -- really my chin crashed on the desk. it just crashed. and the speeches of his supporters with this plantation stuff and class warfare -- >> well, it's only going to

now we're in this era of democratic politics and de blasio, and elizabeth warren and jerry brown.ary clinton going to be able to get the de blasio democrats on her side should she ever need them? >> well, bill de blasio worked as you know for both bill clinton and hillary clinton. i worked with bill when we were on hillary clinton's first senate campaign in 1999 and 2000, then bill de blasio, now mayor de blasio, and there is a long history of friendship and mutual respect between secretary clinton and mayor de blasio, and it's i think very appropriate that the clintons were there yesterday. they have really become a part of new york's fabric, a part of our civic life, and they wanted to show their support for the new mayor. they were both very supportive of mayor bloomberg. we did a lot of work with both clintons during the last 12 years and i suspect that the clintons will have and maintain an excellent relationship with mayor de blasio going forward. >> i'm talking about de blasio supporters, elizabeth warren supporters, the progressive wing that de blasio was speaking to in hi

is he going to go senator elizabeth warren? is obama going to go sandanista on us in this next session? what do you think? >> i was really kind of shocked by the president's words today because my kind of attitude, is this all you got, mr. president? we've heard a lot of talk about unemployment insurance and have extended that now for four or five years. there has been all sorts of talk about raising the minimum wage. by the way, we've done that three times in the last five years. there's nothing new here. it's a very stale agenda. this kind of talk about that agenda is all income redistribution. there's nothing about growth. it was striking what john harwood just said in your interview, because the president really did say look, i'm going to go around congress, i'm going to try to do a lot of this stuff administratively through executive order, and the thing that john mentioned which has everybody terrified is the idea of using the epa to strangle the coal industry, strangle the oil and gas industry, the one industry that's pr

elizabeth warren is wonderful. i love her. if she ran, it would be very interesting.he is not an obama transformative kind of figure, and she is also saying she doesn't want to run. i'm not saying she is going to face a challenge. she is. but it's just very hard to see how even a charismatic person puts together the numbers. >> i'll add. this remember that in 2006-2007, the major issue of the day really was the iraq war. and on that issue hillary clinton was on the wrong side. and there is not that sort of weight around her this time. >> by the way, do you think she 240 should come out and say it was bad war? it was bad national decision. will she say that? >> it's a really good question. she had trouble answering that. now days the issue is inequality. it's not clear where she is weighed down by that. >> i don't think she is weighed down by that. i wish she would clarify it was bad decision by this country. i think it was the worst, a lot worse than benghazi. it was horrible. this was 4,000, 5,000 people. thank you. and the other people get killed in wars, not just o

one other woman i would add to that list, but might be right there with gillibrand in -- is elizabeth warren, who is exciting a lot of liberal democrats. >> i wanted to discuss, your work in washington also focus on women and women's issues. one thing that struck me is how she is privately encouraging hillary clinton to run as a woman. >> yeah. >> to run as a mother, as a senator, to run the way she didn't run before, maybe it was generational, maybe it was, as she said, she was the first really serious female candidate. how much do you think that will play, especially frankly with female voters, women. >> i think it's important. there's sort of a sisterhood happening. i think, you know, there's sort of a go team spirit, and i think that will affect this decision. they seems to like her. again it's like we feel that she's coming, it's a known thing. with gillibrand it could be something new and different. >> but this sort of sentiment that i captured, i think there's something serious that hillary clinton has to worried about, that if she's already peaked, can she mount this one last challen

. >> he's a very liberal person in a very liberal city just as the other great joy, elizabeth warren, all hail, all hail. >> from arguably the most liberal state. what's interesting is he's not courageous progressive. listen to what he said. i think this was perfect. >> those earning between $500,000 and a million a year, for instance, would see their taxes increase by an average of $973 a year. that's less than $3 a day, about the cost of a small soy latte and your local starbucks. >> years ago we used to talk about sort of the chablis and volvo liberals in the suburbs. this gives us an example the soy latte. a genuine radical like van, who said i want to hit the -- i want a large one here. a cautious would are said i'm -- i'm not using the starbucks terms, but i want a medium size, but no, his example is i will change the city in new york and rich people will not pay more than a small soy latte. you know how hard it is for those of us in the business of trying to characterize liberal to have somebody jump you will and say soy latte. how do you ridicule somebody who already says -- >

boston herald's radio show trending now, west said that he's more concerned about a potential elizabeth warrenandidacy than he is about another bid from hillary clinton. but listen to his explanation. quote, elisabeth warren is their darling. that's who they want. and they have to run another woman because they need the marketing gimmick of the first something. we had the first black president. now we're going to have the first woman president. a gimmick, he says. finally, chris christie amplified speculation he may run for president in 2016 after sending christmas cards to several republican officials in iowa over the holiday. buzzfeed reported that at least five people in the first caucus state received the cards including some who have never met the governor. one state representative seemed to reasonably suspect that he intended to say more than just seasons greetings. quote, governor christie sent me a christmas card. i mean, it's only three years until the iowa caucus. that's called thinking ahead. actually, the caucus is two years away, but christie's latest flirtation will iowa may fore
