being in the senate a week and a half. >> early polls show him third, trailing hillary clinton and john edwards>> we've got two different americas. we've got one for all those who are doing very, very well and then one for everybody else. >> edwards is focused on eradication of poverty. the 2008 election was all about the war in iraq. >> you said that if you were president in 2002 you would not not gone into war. >> right. >> however, how can you then explain the seeming contradiction from your voting to support the invasion? >> i do not believe that most of us who voted to give the president authority thought he would so misuse the authority we gave him. >> hillary clinton tries to explain it away, and that was ultimately unsatisfactory, especially on an issue that was so divisive. >> i am proud that i opposed this war from the start because i thought that it would lead to some disastrous conditions that we've seen on the ground in iraq. >> obama was really smart, extraordinarily articulate, but vague. >> i went on your website to find information about you, and i was wondering what really are

remember, john kerry, john edwards were polling at 4%, 2%, 6 or 7 in the field and a month later theyto finish first and second in the polls. it's the kind of thing worth thriving on in the energy. >> i don't know if you want to compare yourself to john edwards, but does he have a point, though, that the first primary here is almost making the dnc's threshold to compete in these debates? >> we've seen it before. people come from behind and all of a sudden they're in a winning state and they have all this momentum. there is a chance for candidates to break through. that's why you see people like klobuchar and booker, they're out working in this holiday break, because they'll be locked in a jury room with the senate in an impeachment trial for the president. they're trying to break out. if klobuchar can tap in to that debate and break in on the polls, she has to do it now because she'll be faced with voting for impeachment. >> josh, what do you think? >> he says crazy bernie, pocahontas sometimes. think people still want a candidate as they see more left, not a moderate candidate, they

well, john edwards won the primary. >> john edwards won that primary and one other contest because he had two home states. north carolina and south carolina. but my point is that it didn't stop john kerry from the nomination, the same way this may or may not. warren is going to have the resources, as will bernie and probably pete. the nevada caucus is heavily driven by the culinary union's and is also heavily latino. beat before south carolina. >> do you think biden could job in doing a mediocre iowa and new hampshire? and hold onto his vote in south carolina and come back? >> ronald reagan did this in 1976 when he was challenging gerald ford. contests, hearly came back and reminded himself in north carolina and he almost won the nomination. >> if he hadn't picked did schweiker for vice president. >> and he had a lightning bolt issue, the panama canal. >> this campaign is making that argument but it's an argument that many people are viewing skeptically. if you does not win or do well enough, the money has already dried up and is going to dry up further. pac donors might also get a li

of john edwards about 12 years ago. think some folks in south bend and chicago are probably going to be a little concerned about that, having some long-term staying power. but i actually thought that mayor pete on the spot was very quick on his feet and handled that rather well. i thought just kind of broadly, i thought that joe biden had his best night and i thought he won this debate. one, because of when he won it. he won it in the first hour where i imagine -- i don't work for nielsen, but i imagine most people were watching and most people were engaged, so i think that's one. two, while that whole discussion of fund-raiser was going on an hour or two, joe biden was nowhere to be seen. it was actually interesting because biden could just kind of sit by and allow buttigieg and klobuchar or warren fight it out. joe biden happily takes a step back. i thought joe biden had the best night of anybody. >> winning just by staying out of the way. i do want to play one of these back and forths between amy klobuchar who tried

john edwards, the lieutenant -- lt. col.ged, judged, "loyal men have the same sympathies in a common cause in contrast with the neutrals as he called them, and a great many terror stricken secessionists." this quickly led to suppressive measures including, as george mcclellan wrote, overwhelming physical force. mcclellan, of course, had lived in cincinnati for a decade prior to the war, and he was an eager aspirant for a more prominent eastern command and lincoln was prompted to bring him eastward as the new general of the army. ahead of the national army. conversely with the notable exception of those who prematurely pursued slave emancipation or whose aggressive field generalship earned the president's respect and thus protection, western commanders who urged caution or conciliation to allow time for slave states with majority unionist populations to reconsider secession and reenter the union, they were replaced. among them, winfield scott, william s. harney, robert anderson, don carlos buell and, of course, mcclellan

i was in iowa running around watching all the democrats speak and i saw john edwards. , john kerry dean was boring everyone to death. for me i am the boring guy that everybody else can yell and if you want solid and boring i am the guy. for bernie, he is going after the populist wing. he is going full populist. thate said for a while bernie's ceiling is also his floor, that there is a number he cannot get below or above. p is trending now that war and has fallen, her voters have swung over to bernie. solidifying his base with the populace. host: less than a half hour left in this program, the sunday political roundtable, looking ahead to 2020. if you like what doug is saying give him a follow on twitter. philip is also on twitter. this is isaac out of bellingham, washington. caller: good morning, thank you for c-span. i just wanted to push back on a couple of things, one being the economy is insanely good right now. it's insanelyhom good for, may people at the top who have massive portfolios of stocks. a lot of us are struggling with student debt and medical bills. i don't think it is g

i was in iowa running around watching all the democrats speak and i saw john edwards. , john kerry dean was boring everyone to death. for me i am the boring guy that everybody else can yell and if you want solid and boring i am the guy. for bernie, he is going after the populist wing. he is going full populist. thate said for a while bernie's ceiling is also his floor, that there is a number he cannot get below or above. p is trending now that war and has fallen, her voters have swung over to bernie. solidifying his base with the populace. host: less than a half hour left in this progra him a follow on twitter. a republican strategist. isaac out of washington. a democrat. good morning. >> good morning and thank you for c-span. thanks for joining us this morning. i just wanted to push back on a couple of things. the economy is insanely good right now. top andople at the very have portfolios of stocks. others are struggling with student debt and stuff like that. i am 36 years old. 10 eligibleout of voters will be younger than i am. we need to focus on them. 39% going after these mythical

jesse jackson 1988 and 2004 john edwards.n able to be able it win the democratic nomination without winning south carolina. they are natives of south carolina or north carolina. you have to have a strong showing with black voters and south carolina. if you expect to do well and win the nomination. >> jackson is such a perfect comparison to the point. not just because he had overwhelming support in south carolina. but he did not perform well in iowa and new hampshire. as some of you may remember. so i think that's somebody joe biden is looking closely to in terms of historical precedent and moving forward. he's not polling great in iowa. and the overwhelming support he holds in south carolina right now among black voters could be the kind of political surge he needs assuming iowa and new hampshire don't pan out necessarily the way he wants. >> i want to look at the calendar for the early contest. biden is fighting it out in early states dominated by white voters. south carolina he mentioned super-tuesday. a lot of black votes

john edwards almost won. he won by less than a point. with the exception of those two races, where i had a huge impact, because i raised them up almost to victory and they had no chance, i've won virtually every race that i participated in. but this is a different country. in germany, they like obama. he allowed them to take everything. he gave them things that i would never do. i love germany and i like other countries, but they may not like me because i represent us. president obama did not represent everything strong. he gave everything away. we're paying a price for what he did. i'll stay out of the election. i was a fan of brexit. many of you were there. and they asked me if brex it will happen. and i said, yes, it will happen. it was just my opinion. and the next day they had the election, and i was right. i day stay out of it. >> how is your relationship going with president macron going? >> i have always had a great relationship with emmanuel. he's got to do what he's got to do. sometimes i think he does things that are counterpr

that allowed john kerry and john edwards to slip through the middle.you attack a candidate, there's no guarantee you're going to benefit. they have six, eight, ten other choices if they pull back from the original candidate. one point that mayor buttigieg made that is on the debate loop, he was talking about getting elected -- re-elected in mike pence's indiana. the mayor did not get elected in mike pence's indiana. he was elected in a democratic town in the state of indiana. he wasn't being up front with all of the details there. >> did well with republican voters there, nathan. he always did. and this guy was at 80%. so, i think his point is, that he resonated across the political spectrum. the dynamic right now looks like three or four winners in the first four states. it might not take shape until super tuesday. health care could be an exchange on that. and let's listen. >> joe's plan, essentially, reretain the at the us the quo. >> that's not true. >> that's exactly true. thank you. and by the way, joe, under your plan -- you asked how are we goin

. >> and funny about her, the person in this role was a guy named john edwards.ven said we really like him, but he hadn't bumped yet. but got the "des moines register" endorsement. and i do think that edwards carry would have been a much more procetracted fight becausee did catch fire and basically missed winning it by a hair. so clocklobuchar, does she havet potential? >> i think in the debate you saw that she did go up against mayor pete. she had more time because there were fewer dicandidates on stag to present herself with a bit of humor thrown in. and that is really working for her on the campaign stage here in iowa. the other thing is she has been staffing up. she has been raising more money, so she is able to hire more people. she has hired key people from the beto campaign, she has hired people in from other states. so i think that she is the one to watch at this point. >> and very quickly, impeachment, is it just background noise or does it have -- is it a motivating factor or just that it is? >> i think the real impact of impeachment on this race will b

. >> so did john edwards, but in iowa in particular, it makes a huge difference getting around the state it seems like people respect that ground game. >> and it might not reflect in the national polls, but they say she was in our county and i'm going to give hear shot. >> she doesn't need be first, she juste needs to place. >> for her campaign anything better than four, but i think four is a ticket out. >> the ap has an interesting take as well. they're looking ahead beyond the primaries. winning three of the 99 counties. but now as the democrats turn their focus to the kick off caucuses, could the state be showing future signs of swinging back? do you think iowa could swing back to the democrats hands? >> i they certainly could. they do and in some places they favor democrats. it has become more of a red state. this happened to republicans as well. states like colorado, virginia, they were more competitive and they're now blue or purple. i think this happens and i think it has shifted. democrats are talking about michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvan pennsylvania, new hampshire. >> what less

madam speaker, please join me in colonel the life of john edward gray. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one min e minute. the speaker pro tempore: without the gentleman is recognized for one minute. you, madam speaker. i rise today because tomorrow town e holding my 33rd hall since being sworn in with three in each of the 11 counties making up my district. i promised my constituents i will be transparent, accountable, and accessible. new york 19 is nearly 8,000 square miles. delgado: larger than connecticut and rhode island combined. n the past year we spent hours in the car driving in the rain, snow, and sleet to meet folks where they are. we've held town halls in fire departments, schools, small usinesses, and theaters and even had crowds spilling into the hallway. hen the broadband signal was strong enough, the -- it was -- it was streamed on facebook live. this is house democracy is work, civil conversations with my constituents, finding common ground, c

had a bit of an '04 flashback with her, and the person in this role at this time was a guy named john edwards. while he wasn't a neighbor, he was sitting there where everybody said, we really like him but he hadn't bump yet, gets the "des moines register" endorsement, and had it not been for the dean scream, edwards/ r edwards/carey would have been more of a fight. does klobuchar have that potential? >> i think in the debate earlier this month you saw that she did go up against mayor pete. she had more time because there were fewer candidates onstage to sort of present herself with that midwest sensibility, with a little bit of humor thrown in. that's really working for her on the campaign stage here in iowa. the other thing is she has been staffing up. she's been raising more money so she's able to hire more people. she's hired key people from the beto campaign. she's hired people to come in from other states. so i think she is the one to watch at this point. >> very quickly. impeachment, is it just sort of background noise, or does it have -- is it a motivating factor? or is it just sort of

these are real people with real lives who are living in places where, again, you know, john edwards ransident as as democrat said there were two americas in that speech. he was right but for the wrong reason. there were two americas beingtw created by liberal policies that are ripping the hearts out of these hardworking people, forced to live in an area with these policies, garbage law enforcement policies lack of schools, and again, i noticed matters to you as well. you have spoken about it often. >> right. the elephant in the room is the large number of kids particularly black kids raised without fathers. according to the cdc, dan fromom 70% of black kids raised without fathers. tammy is right. this takes place in the hands of neighborhoods in chicago and baltimore and black neighborhoods where a lot of the kids are without fathers. forget about larry elder. obama said a kid raised without a father five times more likely to be poor, nine times more likely to drop out of school, 2. times more likely to end up in jail. the welfare state, incentivized women to marry the government. we al

you remember 2003, rev, you were in the race where you had john kerry and john edward polling at 4% andecember, sixth and seventh and finished one and two. our campaign on the ground in iowa is incredibly strong. we're in the top three or so for net favorabilities in the state of iowa. we have the most endorsements right at the top of the field for endorsements. we are doing incredibly well building a campaign to win, and so that's why i'm grateful to the american people because when i was not on that debate stage, we got a flurry of contributions -- we've blown past the criteria of 225,000 individual donors. thanks to having a lot of folks stepping up, knowing that we don't have billionaire money like we have seen flowing into the race or the money of some of the others, they're giving us the resources necessary to go on tv starting on monday. we're just hoping more people will go to corybooker.com. it's outrageous that i'mon that debate stage when we've got one of the top campaigns on the ground. we intected to up-- intend to upset in iowa. i'm excited about our pathway forward. this

clinton technically finished third in the iowa caucuses behind john edwards. 2004, 40 days before the caucuses that year howard dean was the leader out in iowa with 29%. dean faded out in the final days of the iowa campaign. he finished with 17%. the winner john kerry, this is someone who came from about 10%. he ended up winning with 38, basically nearly 38% of the vote in iowa in 2004. and of course the iowa win rolled in new hampshire, he won that and just about everything after new hampshire and the nomination. not the presidency, but he did get the nomination. 2004 is a reminder when you have a very clustered race like we do right now, four candidates within six points of each other, there can be a lot of movement, a lot of dramatic movement in those final days in iowa, and 2004 tells you that movement was decisive. will we see that kind of movement again this time, and will iowa be decisive again this time? questions that will be answered pretty soon. >>> joe biden is hoping his centrist approach translates to support across party lines. it is a viable voting alternative for mode

john carrie, john edwards polling sixth and seventh go onto finish one and two in the iowa caucuses aater. so this is wide open, and i'm excited about our pathway to win and i hope more people will support me. >> ratings are volualid. talk about impeachment. do you think we could have a fair trial in the u.s. senate without witnesses? >> i think we're going to be cheated out of all the evidence that is there. there are first-hand witness, people like the acting chief of staff, mulvaney -- there were people in the room when it happened that can speak to the damning evidence that we have already. and it's a shame they're not coming before the united states senate. >> do you think pelosi is right to play hardball here? >> she has been a light worker in this very dark time for our republic. this is very sad sobering time, and she's dealt with this with the kind of gravity and deft it deserves. she's almost flawless in the way she's dealing with this. it's going to come to the senate eventually and i think she's right to try to use whatever leverage she can to make sure there's fairness on

remember 2003 this month john keri and john edwards 4%.y finished one and two. they were the nominee and vice president nominee. when you create a debate stage that has the artificial barriers. they undermine. a younger candidate under dog from behind and won in the caucus. >> every time you're running on e. you manage to pull it out. >> my campaign. i believe in the power of prayer. you have some powerful prayers on your side. every time we thought we would end people save us. >> thank you. thank you for watching. our live coverage continues. with anderson cooper. we're reporters from the new york times. no flights. no roads. we're trying to figure out what animals are being affected. galápagos is a really challenging place to work. el niño is starting to go haywire. everywhere is going to get touched by climate change. the wait is over. t-mobile is lighting up 5g nationwide. while some 5g signals go only blocks, t-mobile 5g goes miles... beyond the big cities to the small towns... to the people. now, millions of americans can have access

and remember john kerry, john edwards were polling at 4%, 2%, 6 and 7 in the field and one month later they went onto finish one and two in the caucuses. it's the kind of thing we're thriving on, and we need help. we need people going to cory booker,.com. but if they continue to do that we'll have our best online fund-raising of the campaign. we'll continue to build and build here to compete with people who don't have a lot more money but have our field operation. >> i hear optimism where you're headed but your presence or lack thereof was noticed at the debate this past week. and let's talk about the factor here. i asked about why perhaps there was that lack of diversity. here's what he thinks was behind it. >> i think 2016 was kind of a traumatic election for a lot of democrats, and they fear that -- i think they rightly see the elebz of donald trump as a backlash to the two terms of the first black president. and so they are thinking we need to pick someone who is going to seem less culturally threatening to the other side. >> senator, i remember so visibly on election night, van jo

time march rolled around he suddenly looked durable compared to howard dean and dick gephardt and john edwards. it's possible that's what this looks come february. in comparison, he's holding up better than everybody else. >> interesting to date back to 2004. haven't heard some of those names in a while. >> i'll go to '76 if you really want. larry and i will go old school and talk about the jimmy carter/pete buttigieg comparison if you want. >> oh, i would love that. we don't have enough time unfortunately. >> no time. no time for the history lesson. >> up to the challenge. chuck, always appreciate your insight. thanks so much. >> thank you, kira. >> chuck might go back to the '70s this morning on "meet the press," but he will remain current and have an interview with presidential candidate amy klobuchar and exclusive interviews with senator john kennedy, former secretary of state john kerry and former governor arnold schwarzenegger. be sure to tune in to "meet the press" at 8:00 a.m. after this newscast. >>> and larry will be back in about 40 minutes for your weekly political segment. he'll t

it was john kerry and john edwards who were apolopolling a and 4% and went on to finish at 1 and 2.'re just coming out of from an event where the democratic chairperson of the county endorsed our campaign. we're on top of the field in endorsements on the ground. we're gaining momentum, online fundraising, people are reacting, let's get him back on stage, going to corybooker.com at record levels. i feel more confidence than ever that that's our pathway. >> they just announced, the dnc, the threshold for the january debate. and that's going to be in des moines. and the threshold now is at least 5% in at least four polls and 7% support in two single state polls or 225 -- and 225,000 unique donors. that's a real stretch for you, you've been polling at about 2%. how do you catch up? >> we've started clocking at 4% in polls the last couple of weeks, we're really surging. that would have kicked off carter and clinton. we're really showing great strength. people are telling me now, wait a minute, we need a nominee that can excite the fullness of the democratic coalition. remember, in michig

these artificial rules remember in december of 2003, john kerry and john edwards were polling at 1% and 2%, polling at 6 and 7. polls have never been predicative. the people are. that's why i'm so excited about going to iowa this afternoon where we lead in endorsements in the entire field. where local media there points out i have one of the two best organizing teams on the ground. poised for an upset. i'm grateful so many people, angrily, many are sending us notes, going to corey booker.com and saying we're going to give you the resources you need because you are the best person to beat donald trump, states like north carolina and georgia and south carolina we need to win those senate seats i'm the best person to ignite that coalition we need from diverse voters to not only win a president's seat, but we have control of the senate as well. >> it wouldn't be an interview if you didn't work in a plug for the website. i think i'm out of time. talk about the importance of diversity. you wrote about that and other candidates in the letter to tom perez. looking at the debate stage on the one

i was the staff of congressman john edwards during the nixon impeachment. president on the committee during the clinton impeachment, and here we are today. at its core, the impeachment power really is about the preservation of our democratic systems. and the question we must answer is whether the activity of the president threatens our constitution and our democracy, and it is about whether he is above the law and whether he is honoring his oath of office. now, the house judiciary committee staff, and it was not mean, it was other staff wrote an excellent report in 1974. and this is what they said. impeachment of a president is a grave step for the nation. it is predicated only upon conduct seriously incompatible with the constitutional form and principle of our government, or the proper performance of constitutional duties of the presidential office. and i would ask unanimous consent to enter the report on constitutional grounds into the record. thank you, mr. chairman. like president nixon, the allegations against president trump involve serious election

i'm confident by all the measures of past elections, remember in december john kerry, john edwards polling 6th and 7th, 4% and 2%. one month later they finished one and two in the iowa caucuses. this is how the story has always been, people coming from behind, surging in january and february and that's happening in our campaign. this debate, it's unfortunate that i'm not there. it's unfortunate that it lacks the diversity that is what we need for our party to win in terms of our voting base. but god, i'm really excited and really hopeful. the very fact that we're running a national tv ad shows that the surge of online contributions is putting us in play and allowing us to do what billionaires are doing. we're going straight to the people and we are going to upset new hampshire and nevada and especially south carolina that will launch us into the nomination. >> it wouldn't be bad if it raised your poll numbers too. >> yeah. >> great to see you, senator. thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> still ahead for us, in the midst of the house votes on impeachment, president trump wasted no time goi

i worked for john edwards in 2004. we were a surprise second. in iowa there was john kerry, who at this point in the race was polling sixth in iowa. we've got a lot of ground to make up here. >> axios is reporting on this news of this 2020 chaos theory, with democrats saying a very realistic scenario could be pete buttigieg winning iowa, warren taking new hampshire, biden winning south carolina, bernie sanders winning nevada. how do you see this going down to convention or no. or is that the worst-case scenario. >> i think we'll see what happens. i think we have so much time left and momentum matters. but obviously, we have time left. we still have candidates getting in the race. on a day when multiple candidates are dropping out, we also have candidates who have newly gotten in. we have a lot of time left. the momentum will make a big difference. so a candidate parlaying a win into momentum, particularly when super tuesday has so many states on one day, parlaying that win into excitement in some of those states, i think, will make a huge differe

john edwards was polling at 2% and number 7 and finished number in iowa so i'm just at a point at thiss decide. the debate stage, we're running a campaign where in iowa and new hampshire we're in the top in endorsements. we have literally one of the top net favorabilities in the race. we're called by local media as one of the top field organizations and they've even -- you had press people coming out in iowa and saying this is ridiculous. if the pollsters call you choose cory booker because he should be on that debate stage. we have been excited. since the last debate we've been experiencing our biggest surge in online donations and have sums of people coming out just yesterday more elected officials in the state are endorsing my campaign and are frustrated that we are putting artificial barriers which often can be overcome by people with money determining who iowa gets to choose from. something is wrong with the system. >> what's your strategy going forward? it looks like and unless you get four polls iouda like you're not going takhe nt dete stage iow just go camp there for the next
