former secretary of state john kerry who endorsed biden just yesterday. of course, knows this territory well. he was the democratic presidential nominee himself in 2004 and won the iowa caucus. i want to bring in jesse moore, associate director in public engagement from the obama white house. mark leibovich is an msnbc contributor. good to see both of you. mark, you've been around the block. endorsements generally don't mean much. what is the biden camp thinking they might get out of this or what might they get out of this. is john kerry potentially a different case here? >> you know, it's funny. conventional wisdom would dictate that endorsements like this might matter. that's the conventional wisdom of maybe 20 years ago. at this point john kerry who did very well in iowa -- he surprised people and i think he won iowa in 2004. he had a great close there. i assume there's good will for him there. john kerry is at this point a figure from a few cycles ago. i think what i guess theoretically what they might be thinking is that this could help solidify esta

john kerry's war, that's next. eg different to veterans. it means freedom.t's the reason you chose to serve our country. so you'd have a safe place to come home to, and eventually, a home to call your own. a place to gather your troops under one roof. your roof. a place to mark time. and relax with your commanding officer. a place to call home. newday usa can help make that happen for veterans like you. the newday zero down va home loan lets you buy a home with no down payment. at newday, your service is your down payment. the newday zero down va home loan is a real chance to own your own home. that's freedom. that's newday usa. >> tucker: the left wants power as you know, that's a given. that's the whole reason for existing, really. the problem is finding a good excuse for seizing power. these days their favorite excuses is climate change. that's something that you are willing to precisely define and for good reason. they launched an anti-global warming coalition called world of zero saying it's just as important as beating adolf hitler, and the only way to

our voters actually ready to give up power over their life to john kerry and france? poll suggests may be there or not. justin haskins, thank you for coming on. given the sense of the public's view, john kerry and others are totally unwilling to have a conversation rooted in science about climate change. they speak in hysterical generalities. they claim to be in charge across the world ends. what is the public think of that? >> what we found in our recent poll is less than half of all likely voters despiteat all of e efforts in hollywood by the left, the efforts and academia, political losers like john kerry is anvince people there existential climate change crisis heading our way. 80 years in the future or 12 if you believe alexandria ocasio-cortez. despite half of that up less than half of likely voters say that they believe there is a human caused climate change crisis and it's much less than half of independents. these are the people that democrats need to win. i don't mean to give them political advice but if they have any chance at all of winning in 2020, and ye

it wasn't just john kerry ha year. 2% and number 7 and finished number in iowa so i'm just at a point at this campaign in iowa, let voters 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

secretary of state john kerry. mr.if you were a member of the united states senate, where you worked so long, would you vote to convict and remove this president from >> first of all, when i was a senator, i never dealt with hypotheticals and i'm not a senator now. so let me say this about where we are. excuse me. i used to be a prosecutor. i prosecutored a lot of cases and that i think one of the things we were taught as lawyers and litigators, if you have the facts on your state, you argue the facts. if you have the law on your side, you, a to you law. if you don't have either on your side, you just argue. that's what we're seeing today regrettably. a lack of respect for the constitution and the constitution has been pushed, i think, into a second position to party and to president and to power. that is not what the founding fathers of our nation intended and i hope that over the course of the next tweeks, as this unfolds, we're not just going to see a food fight that proves to theig world the dysfunctional state of

he will be joined by john kerry, who just endorsed biden.on day six, biden had a heated exchange with a voter at a town hall. we get more from cnn's jeff zeleny. >> reporter: christine and dave, joe biden is receiving the endorsement from former secretary of state john kerry. he is the winner of the iowa caucuses, a failed presidential candidate in the general. but he does know how to win the caucuses. he hopes his endorsement will help the former vice president over the next two months or so in iowa. it was a different home from a town hall on thursday in new hampton, iowa, that overshadowed that news. >> you, on the other hand, sent your sunday over there to work for a gas company that he had no experience with. in order to get access to the public for the president. you're selling access to the president just like he is. >> you're a damn liar, man. that's not true. no one has ever said that. >> i see it on the tv. >> you see it on the tv. i know you do. and by the way, i -- let him go. let him go. look. the reason i'm running is because i

former secretary of state john kerry has endorsed former vice president joe biden's 2020 presidentialrmer massachusetts senator and 2004 democratic presidential nominee praised biden in a statement released yesterday, writing in part this. i believe joe biden is the president our country desperately needs right now, reflecting on their 40-year friendship, kerry added this. i have never seen the world more in need of someone who can put back together the world that has been smashed apart. >> the former secretary, won both the caucuses and primary during the 2004 presidential bid. >>> meanwhile the "new york times" editorial board has released a scathing op-ed saying that presidential candidate pete buttigieg needs to explain what he did at mckenzie, the global consulting firm, now infamous for taking on ethically dubious projects. the editorial board writes in part, buttigieg owes voters a more complete account of his time at the company. voters seeking an alternative to trump should demand that candidates not only reject trump's positions, but also his behavior. including his refusal

he will be joined on the campaign trail by john kerry who just endorsed him.den is riding the aftermath of this heated exchange with a voter at a town hall getting all kinds of attention this morning. our reporter was there in the middle of it all. tell us about it, jessica. >> reporter: well, good morning to you, john. we have been traveling the state of iowa along with joe biden on his bus tour. the no malarkey bus tour. we've been going to a lot of rural towns around the state. yesterday in new hampton, iowa, there was an exchange with a voter in the crowd. that voter started talking about these conspiracy theories that have been thrown out by president trump and other republicans. here's a little bit of what happened. >> you on the other hand sent your son over there to work for a gas company. he had no experience with. in order to get access for tthe public for the president. so you're -- >> you're a damn liar, man. that's not true. no one has ever said that. >> i saw it on the tv. >> you seen it on the tv. by the way, that's why -- i'm not sedentary. i g

former secretary of state and democratic presidential nominee john kerry has just endorsed joe biden in his run for the presidency. in a statement from the campaign, kerry says there has never been a time more urgent for leadership at home that can work for the middle class and tackle existential issues like climate change where we're moving dangerously backwards. joe is uniquely the person running for president who can beat donald trump and get to work on day one for the u.s. and the world with no time to waste. joining me is the reporter behind "the washington post" and joel payne, former director of paid media for hillary clinton's campaign in 2016. joel, how big a deal is john kerry? obviously he did not win the presidency, and he represents kind of the older old guard, if you will, literally and figuratively. >> i think it's as significant as any other endorsement now. i think we're in an era where endorsements probably matter less. there are probably two or three democratic endorsements that are coveted, barack obama, michelle obama, maybe hillary clinton. that said, what it doe

in a little while former secretary of state john kerry shares his thoughts on president trump and the greatest crisis facing the planet. and former national security advisor susan rice talks about donald trump and the predecessor he can't get past, barack obama. and later in this show i'll talk to filmmaker michael moore about the candidate he says is the democrats' best chance of beating trump in 2020. and at the end of the hour i'll ask recent british prime minister david cameron, he'll be here, his thoughts on president trump. but we begin with msnbc's very own rachel maddow. i recently talked to her about her new book, blowout. in 2019 robert mueller released his report on russian interference in the 2016 election and the role president trump and those around him played in all that. understanding what motivated trump is only half the story. why was it that russian president vladimir putin was so intent on messing with our election? why were there more than a hundred contacts between trump associates and russians during the campaign? those are some of the questions that led rachel

let's just see a little bit of john kerry stumping for joe biden in the last hour. >> so iowa, when yous in february, don't just send a message. send us a president. send us a man who can put the world back together. send us joe biden. >> how is that playing out there, mike? >> well, andrea, as you can see, the former vice president still working that rope line behind me, they just finished up in the last 20 minutes or so. i promise you, if the technology allowed, i would be up there trying to ask him questions, as you know. we've seen things we haven't seen so far on the seventh day of the "no malarky" tour. one is the endorsement of john kerry for his close friend joe biden, saying he wasn't here against anybody but for joe biden. we also saw joe biden back on the teleprompter for the first time on this seven-day tour. this "no malarky" tour, for all the jokes about the name, has been an important ramping up of the effort of the campaign to show commitment for the former vice president at a time when his polls have been slipping. and the reaction here was very strong. it was interesti

john kerry spent many, many years preparing for this run in new hampshire and iowa.when a guy -- it gave the democratic party a proven winner. lieutenant governor, he was a veteran and had declarations from vietnam. he was everything that democrats were looking at for a candidate. south carolina and then he pulled together the party as best he could. i think that's the way primary works. >> the thing that feels familiar, which was with a lot of voters. we could not afford it with the campaign. it turned out that none of it worked. what people thought electability was not what electability was. >> actually, john kerry, came very close and it came down to some disputes about the election in ohio. it rained on election night. it was a very near run thing. you can look back on a campaign and say there was some mistakes. okay, we didn't carry the southern states and secretary carry made the statement that he does not need the south. maybe it hurt him in florida? don't know. he was not clear enough and condemn the war in iraq soon enough. people who are against the w war -

ed: you saw a live picture of him a moment ago in new hampshire with john kerry.ber, john kerry was left for dead in iowa and ended up winning it with a late surge. joe biden trying to repeat. that hope to have you back soon. >> thank you so much, ed. ed: in the meantime, as noted, we are awaiting the fbi update on the shooting at the pensacola naval base. now they seem to be conferring behind closed doors. we're going to take a quick break and get back right after this. doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa now and forever more. inside these buildings in jerus throughout israel there are many elderly jews who suffering daily. and they need our help now. as christians and jews we know we have a scriptural mandate to h

welcome john kerry and vice president joe biden. [applause] mr. kerry: i'm looking out there, i see some very friendly faces. good morning nashua. [applause] mr. kerry: it's sunday morning, you slept yesterday. it is great to be back in the granite state, a second home for me. i have two second homes, iowa and new hampshire. [laughter] mr. kerry: i love this state. growing up, i have great memories of visiting here rattlesnake, getting up the highway there towards some of your blue ice you get to ski on sometimes. concord wherel in i would rarely look forward to season onthe hockey the black ice and how the ice doesn't even freeze. so it's hard to do today, but i love the primary tradition of this state. not just because you voted for me. it goes farther back than that. when i was 24 years old, stationed on the other of the earth, when radio broadcasts and weeks old newspapers in a mail pouch that finally got to us, shared with me my idealized introduction to the phenomenon of the new hampshire primary. just 40 days after one of my very closest fri

john kerry and the two will head to new hampshire for the weekend. while on the campaign trail and i would joe biden had a heated exchange with a man and a town hall event when the retired farmer suggested that hunter biden suggested that he took the seat on the ukrainian company to provide access for his father. >> that is a lie and untrue. no one has ever said that. >> hunter biden has said that accepting the lucrative post was poor judgment. the former vice president reaffirmed to the crowd that neither he or his son did anything wrong >>> it is 4:36 am. >>> house democrats in washington expect an answer from president trump on whether he will take part in the impeachment hearings. in the meantime house speaker nancy pelosi is directing the house democrats to draft the articles of impeachment. we have the report from washington on what to expect by the end of the year. >> reporter: speaker pelosi made it clear to her members on where she stands on impeachment outside of the town hall, addressing the voters directly. >> this is about honoring our o

on sunday, former vice president joe biden joins john kerry at a campaign event in new hampshire.e the first visit at the granite state to endorse joe biden for president. american history tv on c-span3 looks at the impeachments of nixon and c linton. starting at 6:00 p.m. on oral histories. trent lott and others reflect on their time serving on the impeachment inquiry of richard nixon. >> here is a guy who had an influence on my decision to run for office. and was helpful in my winning and that i looked up to as a president. i wound up having to sit in judgment on him and saying i would vote for an article of impeachment. we look at the house judiciary debate. role ofdjudicate the the senate which has the important adjudicatory role to assess the evidence. our founding fathers made it extraordinarily difficult to eliminate a president from office by requiring a two thirds vote. i have always said unless this is done bipartisan, and tragically there is no bipartisanship here, but i'm hopeful that if it gets to the senate, there would be bipartisanship. >> god help other presidents

the biden bus tour was joined by the former vp colleague in the democratic nominee in 2004, john kerryears ago, the pundits in the polls had written me off but in this state i saw that you take the measure of candidates themselves. >> michael bloomberg campaign today in augustine georgia instead and predicted he will be the nominee. >> i don't think i'm going to be in a situation where i have to look at another democratic candidate and help them >> the billionaire is not sympathetic to his own employees who have been ordered to not sniff around democratic primaries. >> with the paycheck comes some restrictions and responsibilities. >> bloomberg and joe biden are inventing the primary voters are not as progressive as some of the party leaders. >> you all thought that what happened was the party moved extremely to the left after hillary. aoc was the new party. she's a great, wonderful person but where's the party? >> he's betting iowans would rather see john kerry than iowa. >> send us the man who could put the world back together, send us joe biden. >> biden might downplay aoc at his ow

john kerry is in new hampshire today along with joe biden's no malarkey bus tour. but it's his earlier status as a senator from massachusetts that speaks volumes, at least in this part of the country. he's bpicking biden over two others. elizabeth warren and duval patrick. he also envolked another local hero. >> joe biden's a little bit like a new england patriots, i think. fun to watch. fun to watch the promise and potential of young quarterbacks, but come february, i like having an experienced quarterback like tom brady calling those plays. >> cnn's arlet signs is on the trail with the biden campaign. this is old school campaigning. does the bide p campaign think this is the best way the connect with voters? >> they believe putting joe biden in front and connecting with as many voters as possible is going to help him win this nomination. as you can see now where biden is taking questions from voters heerk but he's also been accompanied by john kerry. he was in iowa a few days ago and kerry's endorsement is a big cut for joe biden. he's not just the secretary of st

look, examples in the past, john kerry in 2004, if we had been talking about john kerry, the democraticominee for president in 2004, if we had been talking about him in december 2003 that's when his campaign was undergoing a shake-up, he borrowed against his house to throw desperation money into his campaign. john kerry was winning primaries left and right. he got hot late in iowa, a second look. always that example, always that possibility. warren, there are some thought did she peak too soon? but there's still time for her to get a second look and that wouldn't be the first time someone got a second look. >> steve, thank you very much. annie, thank you. >>> breaking news, duncan hunter is expected to change his not guilty plea in his campaign finance violations. hunter is accused of misusing a quarter of million dollars for personal use, including family vacations and tuitions for his children's schools. he won re-election last year despite those charges. >>> still ahead -- the deep concern over deep fakes. just how big of a threat do they pose for 2020? 020? i've always loved seeing

every time someone has been a nominee like john kerry, i know this guy. i trust him. i trust his judgment and i believe he's our best chance of winning. it helps, but is it -- if you're an elizabeth warren supporter and see john kerry support joe biden is that going to change your mind? it's not. >> chris cillizza, thank you. >> thank you, brooke. >>> as the president faces impeachment over foreign interference into a political rival, believe it or not his personal attorney is still traveling overseas to do that very thing. more on his secret mission. >>> plus, howard stern finally has something he's always wanted. hillary clinton did not hold back, on his show. talking love, sex, and what she really thinks of republicans. sfx: [sneezing] i am not for ignoring the first sign of a cold. i am for shortening my cold, with zicam! zicam is completely different. unlike most other cold medicines, zicam is clinically proven to shorten colds. i am a zifan for zicam! oral or nasal. so why treat your mouth any differently? listerine® completes the job by preventing plaque, early

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 little bit skeptical of things are not going well. if you does not win the first two states, i mean, never say never. after 2016 i said i would not make product

>> he just got endorsed by john kerry. good for vice president joe biden for defending himself.'m sure he would win on a push-up challenge probably to me and ford and anybody else. the guy's tough guy. look, so what ford was saying about joe biden being afraid of losing the nomination come if you look at the national polls he is ahead it is favorable. he is probably one of the most electable candidates against donald trump. i think the republicans are the ones who are afraid. the republicans are like i wish i didn't have a candidate so problematic like president tru president trump. >> jose just mentioned this so i want to show it to everybody, john kerry endorsing biden today tweeting proud head back to i want tomorrow to campaign with my friend joe biden. i'm not endorsing joe because i've known them for so long but because i know him so well. he is ready on day one to put back together for the country and the world that donald trump has broken apart. ford, how do you respond to that and what jose said about, the matter what happens joe biden continues to lead in the polls. >>

and that's how john kerry won and that's how he ultimately got the nomination. so it'll be interesting to see how this fighting on stage tonight if that plays into the iowa sensibility or not. >> what if the party had the first four primaries on the same day? iowa, new hampshire, nevada, south carolina -- >> you know any columnists that could advance that idea? >> i know a guy. >> okay. we're going to take another break in our coverage. we'll be right back on the other side after this. >> i know americans look up if you're a casual objector, wow, asian guy is still there? because i didn't have name recognition coming in. but our campaign has demonstrated staying power and growth in a field where many of the other campaigns are pulling back. we're one of the only true growth stories. we have to team up to solve problems and beat donald trump. you know, we have to come together as a team pretty quickly. $9.95 at my age? $9.95? no way. $9.95? that's impossible. hi, i'm jonathan, a manager here at colonial penn life insurance company, to tell you it is possible. if

say something nice about john kerry right now. >> i care about john kerry. >> something about presidentttention to the news and watched "the daily show" will remember john stewart going on cross fire and reading those guys. >> you're doing theater when you should be doing debate, which would be great. >> yeah. >> it's not honest. what you do is not honest. what you do is partisan hackry. i'll tell you why i know it. >> you have john kerry on your show and you sniff his thrown and you accuse us of partisan hackry? >> yes. >> you're on cnn, the show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls. what is wrong with you. >> comedians and satire will take on hypocrisy no matter where it comes from. >> i think the vice president and his wife love their daughter. i think they love her very much, and you can't have anything but respect for the fact they are willing to talk about the fact they have a gay daughter. >> yes, we admire your love for your gay daughter. >> if they stepped in it, a trusted comic will bring that to the forefront and i think that's what people like about "the da

you'll see questions from committee members ted stevens of alaska and massachusetts senator john kerry. this portion is a little over two hours.

he follows john kerry, ken salazar, hilda solis and tom vilsack, all of them now lining up behind biden. and we're now just two days away from the next democratic debate. this one could be critical to voters just starting to pay attention. that is if the debate happens at all. jeff zeleny in washington. >> reporter: a consequential week for the candidates who are making their way to california for the last debate of the year in los angeles. there's a hitch. a union strike is still threatening to derail the debate. seven candidates said they all would skip if the labor strike is not resolved. look for movement on that today. the debate is shaping up to be a big one. a new poll out showing that nationally joe biden is dema commanding in this race, with 30%, and elizabeth warren next at 17%. the debate offers the candidates one last chance to meet before the end of the year. they've been sparring from afar and this is one of the frames. are democrats looking like warren or sanders or a healer like buttigieg, biden or amy klobuchar. this debate will be overshadowed by the senate trial in ja

joining me now are two founding members, democrat john kerry who created the group, and former californianor, sometimes republican, arnold schwarzenegger. i'll let you tell me where you are with the party, but welcome back to "meet the press." secretary kerry, let me start with this question. i'm going to be a bit of a cynic here. but you go out of your way to say you're not backing a single climate plan with world war zero. this is about creating more attention to the issue. is attention to the issue really the issue right now? this feels like a ten year ago problem. the issue right now is convincing a certain president of the united states to attack. >> it's not just the president, chuck. there are great efforts out there, many environmental groups, young people particularly, but no country is getting the job done. i mean, the simple reality is that we are way behind, way behind the eight ball. things are getting worse, not better. so we have our unlikely allies coming together here. there's no group that has people as diverse as ours in terms of nationality, age, gender, i ideolo ideol

former secretary of state john kerry has endorsed joe biden for president. the two senate colleagues spoke to campaign stop in nashua, new hampshire. this is about an hour. >> thank you for taking a break from your shopping and festivities to be here to pick the next president of the united states. we take our responsibility seriously in new hampshire and these folks are here because you met candidates, top candidates, interviewed candidates. have they shoveled your lawn lately? that is what they really want to know. i am honored to introduce two of my favorite candidates over the years, we have secretary john kerry with us. for those of you that were on the 2008 campaign. secretary not made my final decision, but i am super excited to have vice president biden in the room, in the house today. give him big applause. welcome him. he was the author of the violence against women act, he has been working tirelessly on environmental issues and saving our planet and security but most importantly in this time we are all facing, he will bring dignity and honor and c

i think john kerry is justly highly regarded figure in many -- among many people.john kerry's endorsement of biden will be very pleasing for people who are already for biden. isn't it sort of not the same quadrant? >> it's being called a new castle. biden got in a very heated exchange today with a voter out in iowa. judge this especially his performance. >> i know trump has been messing around in ukraine. but you, on the other hand, sent your son over there to get a job and to work for a gas company that he had no experience with gas or nothing in order to get access to -- for the president. so you're selling access to the president just like he was. >> that's not true, and no one has ever said that. no one ever said my son has done anything wrong and i did not on any occasion -- >> i didn't say you were involved. >> you said i setup my son to work in an oil company. you know what you said? get your words straight, jack. >> how'd he handle that? >> i didn't think he handled that particularly well. i think -- some people are talking about how he challenged the guy t

and one thing that john kerry talked about overand over was joe biden's experience. is the best positioned on foreign policy, on climate and also issues related to middle class. >> experience, wisdom, muscle memory, joe biden is a little bit like the new england patriots, i think -- fun to watch the promise and potential of young quarterbacks. but come february, i like having an experienced quarterback like tom brady, calling those plays. >> reporter: biden's campaign in the past said iowa and new hampshire are not necessarily must-win states for the former vice president's campaign. but biden understands the importance of this early primary state, the first in the nation primary state. he told voters here that new hampshire will set the tone for who is selected as the democratic nominee. dave and amara? >> arlette, thanks. >>> a crucial week for the u.s./china trade war. one week to go before a new round of tariffs on $160 billion of chinese goods kicks in. that deadline is december 15th. the consensus is that both sides are working on a phase one deal. on friday, c

so john kerry is doing has a perfect name.new diet soda launch, some kind of zero, ultimately you cannot control carbon dioxide through government policy in terms of controlling the climate. what john kerry is doing, essentially coming out with one of the greatest boondoggles in history. we need to take it seriously. this is about the u.n.-paris agreement. he wants a referendum in the next election on that. ed: what about the climate protesters trying to disrupt black friday shoppers? we showed video yesterday. they were pushing around empty shopping carts, cut it out. sounds like a lot of people didn't listen because the president, kind of scored a big economic victory with these numbers, showing that all kinds of black friday records were smashed in terms of people coming out and actually spending money? >> this is the new effort. they're trying to disrupt traffic, disrupt football games, disrupt shopping. they're going after every aspect of our lives in order to say, stop what you're doing, we have a climate emergency. i th

and for some reason they asked what if hillary and john kerry got in the race?dn't climb to the top with 20 to the top john kerry clocked in at 5% and he's been a cryogenic freezer for ten years. you'd these things to know neither one of them are running, the poll was conducted online and i can do a hundred and 50 push-ups.

john kerry's endorsement is not insignificant, but also not surprising.ave the same era, same political mold, do you think biden needs the endorsement of younger, fresher party leaders to make a real impact? >> i think there's no question. every one of these candidates would love every endorsement they can get. i think you see some -- every one of these counts but secretary kerry i think had a good international reputation. >> so biden's points have tried to paint him as insufficiently progressive. for me's a voters that's correct assist sill point, are candidates doing biden a favor, helping to sell him to modera s moderates? >> well, listen, we have 21 candidates. all of them span the entire spectrum. this race has been about one think -- whether or not the democratic party is ready for a revolution or whether or not the country wants a transition. moderates have reasserted themselves later in the campaign than earlier. it will resolve itself one way or the other. i think a country wants a transition, and they're looking for somebody to governs the whol

mayor pete reminds me of john kerry in 2004. 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 port

john kerry is back on the campaign trial this sunday. not for himself, but for his buddy.n to the new england patriots in new hampshire. >> experience, wisdom, muscle memory, b joe biden's a little bit like a new england patriots, i think. fun to watch the promise and potential of young quarterbacks, but come february, i like having an experienced quarterback like tom brady calling those plays. >> kerry urging voters to support biden in the primary this february. so arlet, how are voters responding to the duo? >> well, fred, i think people here in new hampshire certainly liked that new england patriots analogy when it came to joe biden, but it's a very big get for the former vice president. as you can see, an event just got started here in hampton, new hampshire, but earlier in the day, john kerry talked about joe biden's experience, touting him as the best person to take on foreign policy, middle class issues and cloimt and most importantly, he believes to to beat president trump. take a listen to what he had to say. >> this is a man who come frs the middle class who will

john kerry, john mccain, some blasts from the past right here. eight presidential nominees and countless -- we tried to start tallying these, and too many to count. candidates for president, democrats, republicans, running for president in their primaries, all the elections since this show came to msnbc. too many to count. and this year that tally has certainly grown. if you're running for president, you're going to be on "hardball" with chris matthews. how about this, chris himself impersonated on the gold standard of pop culture. "saturday night live" 26 times chris has been impersonated. by darrell hammond. i remember i was covering the 2004 presidential primary up in new hampshire. saturday before the primary big bar, everybody in the media is there. tv has "snl" on, darrell hammond comes out to do chris matthews. the door opens in the bar, chris matthews walks in, the place went crazy. really memorable moment there. back in 2004. of course darrell hammond came on "hardball" a few times and that set a record for the most has in one segment. c

we can just go back to 2003, in december of 2003 and john kerry is running third or fourth and john kerrybecoming the nominee. i'm not sure we'll have anything that drastic but there are still people who are running third and fourth. i still tell people that amy klobuchar, cory booker, a number of people can still win iowa for now. still up for grabs. >> 35 days. >> thanks very much. happy new year. >>> coming up, i want to tell you about a breakout artist, who was a breakout artist and became a musical legend. if you don't know her, you should. i'll talk to linda ronstadt ahead of "linda ronstadt, the sound of my voice."

want to get your opinion on this john kerry reference. john kerry comparing biden and the patriots. muscle memory, joe biden is a little like the new england patriots. fun to watch the promise and potential of young quarterbacks. but come february, i like having an experienced quarterback like tom brady calling those plays. >> okay. he's in patriots country. brady lost to a young quarterback, patrick mahomes, on sunday. what do you make of the analogy? >> the most important is that the patriots tend to win in the big games. joe biden hasn't won. it raises the question of can he deliver? is he like brady or like my new york jets? the end and won't deliver? the point of having kerry is to bolster the image of being the experienced candidate, being the candidate with the gravitas. it doesn't win the young voters or the base voters that aren't particularly excited. >> yeah. if i can add my sports sense to this, you don't need tom brady on stage, you need a lamar jackson, mahomes. that's what joe biden's issue is. he needs to generate young enthusiasm. let's look at pete buttigieg and el

john kerry won iowa, went on to be the nominee. so the national polls can get disrupted and up-ended once we get to iowa. if you're joe biden, you don't want to be howard dean. he's making the case i'm the national front-runner because i can beat trump and i can get things done. >> i refuse to accept the notion as some on this stage do, that we can never, never get to a place where we have cooperation again. if that's the case, we're dead as a country. they need to be able to reach a consensus. and if anyone has reason to be angry with the republicans and not want to cooperate, it's me, the way they've attacked me, my son, my family, i have no love. >> you always want to be first so you want to end the year on top of the polls, but you've got to be a little bit nervous as the democratic candidate for president if you're the leader in the national polls that you know that thing called iowa is just six weeks away. >> and it's never been -- iowa has never been a great place for joe biden and it could matter. iowa is the kind of place

. >> the biden bus tour was joined by the former vp's colleague and democratic nominee in 2004 john kerryyears ago this month pundits had written me off. but in this state, i saw that you take the measure of candidates themselves. >> that state, iowa, still being ignored by michael bloomberg who campaigned in augusta, georgia predicting he will be the nominee. >> i don't think i will be in a situation where i have to look at another democratic candidate and help them. >> the billionaires not sympathetic to his own employees who have been ordered not to sniff around the democratic primaries. >> they get a paycheck but with your paycheck comes some restrictions and responsibilities. >> bloomberg and joe biden are betting primary voters are not as progressive as the party's most popular leaders. >> you thought what happened was the party moved extremely to the left after hillary. aoc was the new party. she's a bright, wonderful person but where's the party. >> is betting i went through rather see john kerry then aoc. >> send us the president. send us a man who can put the world back together
