mr. steyer: las vegas. >> 100%. mr. er: i was talking to a woman, she was running the office in las vegas. just so you know. you would not think that would be true in the united states of america in 2018. >> i am sure it affects disproportionately young girls of color. mr. steyer: i'm sure it does. i think a lot of americans think sex trafficking is the trafficking of foreign-born people to the united states. but it is overwhelming young people from the united states. >> right. mr. steyer: it is funny, this is an issue people don't like to talk about. it is kind of the same thing. is it awkward? it is a very, very, very sad thing. you are talking about young people of both genders being trafficked. we don't have a choice. >> little boys, too? mr. steyer: excuse me? >> i would think young girls, you know? mr. steyer: it is young girls. >> oh my gosh. i am naÏve on a lot of stuff. i try not to be. >> to protect yourself. >> it is depressing. >> that is why we need to have conversations. >> now. i can't walk alone at -- on

mr. steyer: is this your wife? hi. >> yes. mr. steyer: are you? >> 1, 2, 3. mr. eyer: what grade do you teach? >> i am an interventionist for grade five. mr. steyer: the number one correlation with success in our society, whether you go to prison, is your second grade reading level. can you believe that? that implies if you have not gotten it by second grade, we have got to be early. that means we have got to be early. it is a great investment. >> thank you. mr. steyer: what's your name? >> i'm kathy and i live like two blocks away. even if you were the vessel of god -- is that what that person said? mr. steyer: imperfect vessel sent by god. >> even if you are that, no matter what, if you are the perfect candidate, you might not ever get elected if our voting system is gerrymandered and citizens united. mr. steyer: voter suppression, especially of black people. excuse me. i know. i am a grassroots person. i have been pushing against illegal voting behavior by republicans for years. >> i know. we have to fix that. mr. steyer: one of the reasons the republicans are

mr. steyer: when did that happen? >> 1990's. mr. eyer: i understand they have really cleaned up silverlake. bought up the watershed. it used to be pretty dang polluted and i understand it is a lot better. i have talked to a bunch of people. >> thank you, sir. >> what is your call signal? mr. steyer: maverick. do you remember top gun? our code do you want to go ahead? therejust going to ask, has been some news out of iran and investigation into the flight that crashed over to ron -- over tehran. you tweeted about it. looking for your comments on that. mr. steyer: what i understand happened is the iranians shot down a ukrainian passenger jet by mistake. we are obviously in a time of extremely heightened sensitivity around iranian moves. we need to make sure exactly what happened. it is our job to protect, first and foremost, the safety and health of american citizens, so we need to make sure we understand what is happening and put into a long-term strategic focus. which we have not had. >> do you feel like the united states has enough

mr. steyer: this is not good. >> yeah. mr. steyer: i was alone in the hotel. >> thank you for doing this again. 1, 2, 3. got it. >> you were talking about the corporate power. you are echoing 100 years ago. assume -- you say a lot of things that are completely relevant. >> my question is about two things. how do you make that last? faith theye any would uphold anything a democrat would try to do. mr. steyer: because of the way mitch mcconnell prevented president obama from filling judicial appointments. trump has appointed a quarter of them. announcer: campaign 20 2020, watch our continuing coverage on the campaign trail and make up your own mind, as the voting begins next month, watch our live coverage of the iowa caucuses on monday, february 3. c-span's campaign 2020. your unfiltered view of politics. the impeachment of president trump. continue to follow the process on c-span leading to a senate trial. and coverage on c-span c-span.org/impeachment and the free c-span radio app. on and, a discussion predictions for iowa's pre

mr. steyer: i love that question. >> i am a teacher. mr. eyer: i want a grade and i hope you are in easy greader. i know this country is at its most partisan now since the civil war. that is statistically true. me ever sayer hear one disrespectful thing about republican voters. i actually don't feel any disrespect. i think that they voted for mr. trump because they thought he was going to drain the swamp. that we had a government that was corrupt, that did not care about them, that did not serve them, they were a matted and they figured this guy would break it and drain the swamp. they made a what, very bad choice in my mind, but they did it for a very good reason. i am sitting here saying these corporations have bought the government. it is not that different. it's just it turns out mr. trump is the biggest swamp rat that we have ever found. [applause] creston -- right right question, wrong answer. ien i was referring to when was talking about climate and bipartisanship, it was not like we did not convince republican voters. if you actually

mr. steyer. mr. eyer: actually take back the government from the corporations who've bought it. [applause] abby: thank you, mr. steyer. vice president biden? mr. biden: i would argue that the biggest breakthrough in recent time was us being able to do in our administration what five, five democratic presidents couldn't get done, and that is pass obamacare. it was a big deal. secondly, i would argue that the way you control drug prices is you limit what they can charge for those prices. you don't have to pay the price. limit what they can charge. if, in fact, they charge more than we set the price for, they can, they can, in fact, we can, people can import from abroad, assuming that it is it is, it is safe. we, in fact, it's only yellow, wolf, ok? and we can, in fact, do all of this and still provide people the option to stay, the roughly 150 to 160 million americans who like the negotiated plan they have with their employers. if they don't like it, or the employer gets rid of it, they can buy into a m

mr. steyer: here it is. broken, it hasis been bought by corporations, i am someone who spent 10 years fighting corporations and beating them and trying to push power to americans through more democracy. i am someone who is an outsider, i am not beholden to any interest in d.c., i am for term limits of 12 years for congresspeople and senators, i believe we need new people in charge. [applause] i say to people -- i will interrupt my pitch. six argument for term limits. mitch mcconnell, lindsey graham, chuck grassley. let's have term limits. [applause] i am the person who will make the climate my number one priority and i will use it to rebuild and reimagine america in a good way. i build a business on my own, i know what it takes to grow an economy, i know what it takes to have economic growth and justice. i will take mr. trump down because i am not scared of a bully who is a bag of wind.

mr. steyer here. mr. eyer, even though farmers and manufacturers here in iowa and around the country could see some relief from the china deal, they've been crushed by the current administration's trade war. what will you do as president to help them get back on their feet? >> look. on the first day, i would undo mr. trump's tariffs. on the first day, i would get rid of his waivers that senator klobuchar was referring to to oil refiners, not having to use corn-based ethanol. in fact, these trade deals have been exactly what senator sanders and warren have been saying, which is that they've been designed to grow the american gdp for the corporations of america, not for the working people of america, and not to protect the climate. so let me say this. i'm the only person on this stage who says climate is my number one priority. i would not sign this deal, because if climate is your number one priority, you can't sign a deal, even if it's marginally better for working people until climate is also taken into c

mr. steyer administration policy on immigration? guest: what you are referring to is the ruling saying that if you will come here, if you are poor, if you will start at the bottom and need some help to get going, that you can be denied a green card and you can no longer emigrate to the united states of america. that is completely contrary to our history. who haver centuries, been fleeing persecution or violence, or seeking a better life for themselves and their family have come here as an ambitious hard-working people from all over the world to build a better life for themselves, and by the way, to build the united states of america. so the idea that we are no longer open to people who don't have a lot but want to work hard, and we are only open to people who have already got a sufficient amount of money that they don't need help, to me, flies completely in the face of the idea of what this country is all about. it is really taking away one of our greatest strengths, which is that people come here to work hard, improve their lot in

mr. steyer and mr. curry, the u.s.secret service is one of the departments that had been experiencing some negative moral, bad moral, decreasing morale, and for the last several years there has been a turnaround. the u.s. secret service director, mr. rand off elise, was a part of the turnaround. i want to talk a bit about when you denigrate employees. the president of the united states was doing that with the director of the u.s. secret service while he was turning it around. he ridiculed him, calling him names before he fired him. what do you think that does two employee morale? >> as i said,, i don't think they can help, but i think employee morale is frankly a lot more complicated when you're looking at an agency across 15 to 20,000 people. there are just a number of factors they're going to have a voice to that survey. >> i understand. i'm trying to ask, do you think that is a negative impact, when the president of the united states is basically calling names of the director of the u.s. secret service, who has been

mr. steyer. thank you for joining us. we really appreciate you being here. busy campaign schedule, so we are delighted to have you join us at this event cohosted by the community college system and goldman sachs, with whom i understand you share some connection with in your past. mr. steyer: i worked for them for two years when i got out of business school. those are the facts. >> in your campaign, you have clearly made the economy a centerpiece of your pitch to american voters, and these forums are intended to focus on the economy, particularly of interest to the many business owners who register in the small program.

mr. steyer, good morning and welcome to "washington journal." guest: good morning. how are you? host: doing very well. let's start with, why do you want to be president? guest: there are two big things that have to happen. one is i believe we have a broken government that has been purchased by corporations. job one is to get the government back off, by and for the people. as somebody for spend 10 years fighting and beating those corporations, i know that we can do it, and we need to d.c., including having 12 year term limits for congresspeople and senators. secondly, we absolutely have to deal with our climate crisis. i have said it is my number one priority and i declared a state of emergency on day one. do it from the standpoint of environmental justice. create millions and millions of , but weing union jobs have to do it come we have to get on it on day one. if we do those two things, take back our government so we can get the progressive policies that americans want, and control our climate crisis, then i think we will be in a great position. if we don't, we will be in a lot

mr. steyer administration policy on immigration?what you are referring to is the ruling saying that if you will come here, if you are poor, if you will start at the bottom and need some help to get going, that you can be denied a green card and you can no longer emigrate to the united states of america. that is completely contrary to our history. who haver centuries, been fleeing persecution or violence, or seeking a better life for themselves and their family have come here as an ambitious hard-working people from all over the world to build a better life for themselves, and by the way, to build the united states of america. so the idea that we are no longer open to people who don't have a lot but want to work hard, and we are only open to people who have already got a sufficient amount of money that they don't need help, to me, flies completely in the face of the idea of what this country is all about. it is really taking away one of our greatest strengths, which is that people come here to work hard, improve their lot in life, an

mr. steyer you didn't need to do that in the polls to qualify t i just want to make that clear.k you very much for joining us. m >>> i want to go to impeachment because you began a national tv advertising campaign advocating the impeachment of donald trump in october of 2017, two years before the house of representatives moved on impeachment. whatd did you see then before e end of the first year of the trump presidency as the grounds for impeachment? >> lawrence, i saw clearly in october of 2017 that this was the most corrupt president in american history, and he started his corruptionhe virtually from the first lyday, and he started obstruction of justice at virtually the first day. and he did them publicly. and so what i actually did to impeach, not just tv ads, i gather signatures of american, citizens, 8 1/2 million citizens signed that need to impeach petition, and t they actually n only signed it, but they called their congress people and they emailed their congress people and they wrote their congress people asking that congress look at this as a matter of right and wrong

mr. steyer polling at about 3%. the iowa caucuses are on february 3. ♪ [cheers and applause] mr. eyer: hey, you guys. hello. it is so nice to be here with you. my goodness.

mr. steyer spoke at a community college in the state's lakes region and then took time off at his hotel in the state capital of concord. he met with voters at a house party and spoke briefly to the press about news he had qualified to appear in the seventh democratic debate scheduled for january 14. debate scheduled for january 14. >> i would like to welcome mr. msteyer.

mr. steyer. >> i know that iowans are going to caucus within three weeks, and i want to tell you how i feelbout the american people. look, i played team sports my entire life. the bond between teammates is deep and emotional and full of love. and as far as i'm concerned the american people are my teammates. and if there's one thing i will not permit is someone to run-down the field and kick my teammate on the field. and that's what i've seen the last several years seeing these republicans led by mr. trump basically kicking the american people in the face. i am prepared to take on mr. trump on the debate stage and take him down on the economy. so i am asking for your support because i know if i'm going to be a good teammate to you and give you absolutely anything without any compromise, i need the support of you on caucus night, so i can turn around and together we can take back this country and together we can save the world. >> mayor buttigieg. >> this is our moment. this is our one shot to defeat donald trump. and to do it by such a big margin that we send trumpism into the dustbin of his

mr. steyer, made his way to stage, and that he is moving up in polls, that's a real advantage for him.ile senators are off the trail to campaign and be out there and be one of the few voices people are hearing from and seeing from in person. >> at the same time, perhaps a powerful display during this trial for any number of senators on the campaign trail could bode well for them? >> it is opportunity to see them in action. at the end of the day, all of the candidates are attempting to get donald trump out of the white house. here's their opportunity to have narrative around the impeachment hearing and to be there in the room where it is happening and reporting back to the field to supporters around that. i think that while it is a challenge for them not to be able to knock doors and be in iowa caucusing with folks, it is an opportunity for them to constantly rail against donald trump, which at the end of the day is who they're running to defeat. to be able to have the backdrop of the hearing where they can parrot and pull out all of the facts or receipts on why this guy is a bad presid

mr. steyer on the stage as well. eads str he's struggled in the polls but not enough to not get in the debate. should the candidates step back? >> this has been a moderately nice democratic primary with a few high-profile exceptions because a lot look at the clinton race in 2016 and say that she came out of that so damaged, and partly because they don't want to send their nominee guard wi forward with similar damage. at the same time, they all want to win. you don't, to booker's point, have to get deeply personal, but this is a contest and the eve eventual winner will have to nudge somebody out. >> there's not a lot of enthusiasm among voters when you're talking to them for this kind of infighting. in fact, there is a deep, deep w wariness, whether it is the kind of character attacks or even arguments based on policy. people see that, and they see it as, this is a distraction away from the most important goal and the overarching goal of taking on donald trump. they do not want these candidates to be weakened and hurt

mr. steyer's fund has pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into companies that operate coal mines and coal fired power plants from indonesia to china. even after his highly public divestment, the coal related products will generate tens of millions of tons of carbon pollution for years, if not decades to come. i know you know no amount of money can turn back the clock and change the ongoing impact of those visitments. but i am interested if you asked your fund to itself fully pull out. did you ask them to sell off those investments? >> poppy, as you know, my fund invested in every part of the economy, including fossil fuels. we actually invested in fossil fuels less than they are as a percentage of the economy. over 12 years ago, when i realized fully that there was an unintended consequence of fossil fuels, i divested. i took the giving pledge to give over half my money away to good causes while i'm alive and spent 12 years fighting climate change, putting together coalitions of americans to take on the oil companies, the fossil fuel companies at home and around the world. i divested. i a

mr. steyer so far. l bloomberg yet to re register big time in the polls. 154 for bloomberg, 15.2 million for steyer. that's a giant number. so if you're a voter, impeachment is getting the national media attention. now iran, if you turn on the tv in nevada or south carolina, odds are you'll see this. >> i'm the only person on this stage who will say that climate is the number one priority for me. it's a state of emergency, and i would declare a state of emergency on day one. >> i think it's important to note that this president is not against immigration, he's against immigration by non-white people. this is a racial argument by a racist president who is trying to divide us. >> it's interesting, there is no question the volume in the spending are a big piece of this, but the message is interesting, playing the racism argument, appealing to latinos. that's the nevada ad. and climate in south carolina. an interesting choice by steyer saying, you can't dispute the numbers. now he's moving up. >> the message

mr. steyer. thank you so much for joining us today. we appreciate you being here.e are delighted to have you join us for this event, cohosted by the union leader of the community college system and goldman sachs. >> i worked for them for two years when i got out of business school. >> that's it? two years? huh, huh? >> those are the facts. >> in your campaign, you have clearly made the economy a centerpiece of your pitch to american voters. these forums are intended to focus on the economy, particularly of interest to the many business owners who register in the small business program. some of theo people arriving here today, many have the same question i was going to start with. the economy appears to be very strong. according to many commentators, it is actually an asset to the president in seeking reelection. how can you make an economy that has seen consistent growth for 10 years and has record low unemployment a centerpiece of your campaign? why do you think that is a winning strategy? >> so, if you don't mind, i will stand up to answer this question. i cannot

mr. steyer: what is her name? >> sandi. mr. steyer: ok. x with less than a month from liveirst votes, c-span's 2020 coverage continues from the state historical museum of iowa in des moines, with a look caucuses, iowa discussing the first in the nation caucuses and the history and impact on races. at 1:45 p.m. eastern on c-span, online at c-span.org, or listen live with the free c-span radio app. >> coming up, we're going to show you some of the recent in congress and at the white house on the issue of vaping and underage use of e-cigarettes. we are joined by andrew, who covers health care for cq roll call. tell us why underage vaping became a bigger issue in 2019. andrew: i think it was a combination of factors that really drove this to the front of the policy debate this year. one was just a year over year increases in the number of teens who are reporting e-cigarette use. that's been increasing for several years, but 2019, we saw another significant increase over last year. another was interrelated, but sort of distinct issue that we sa

mr. steyer. >> msnbc political correspondent, steve kornacki.ing to see you back here tonight for "the last word." and on sunday night be sure to catch "iran crisis. they break down the history and impact of u.s. foreign policy in the region. u.s. involvement in the 1953 iranian cue. the iranian hostage crisis and the regional conflict that exists today right here on msnbc sunday night. i will join them for that. "deadline white house" begins right now. >>> hi, everyone. it's 2:00 in new york. house speaker nancy pelosi confirms today in a letter to her colleagues that she will submit the articles of impeachment next week. the house impeached donald trump for asking the leader of ukraine to investigate his political rival before trump would hand over congressionally authorized military aid. as the president is faced with his closest brush yet with the possibility of war, one

mr. steyer.the question is, what about the advantage that a billion dollars brings you to be able to spend millions in these states, get qualified and this is a debate that's excluding senator booker and others and a much less diverse panel of debaters than some would want. >> let me say a couple things. to me the question for everybody running for president including me is message. i have a very simple message which is that we have a broken government that's been bought by corporations. and before we get any of the progressive policies that i believe americans across the board want and need, we're going to have to get back government of, by, and for the people, and as an outsider, i've been fighting and beating the corporations for a decade, and i'm talking about structural change in washington like term limits. and if you look at what i've done over the last ten years, when there's -- what i perceive as a huge problem in america like that, i've spent all of my, put my heart and soul and my mone

mr. steyer, i know you couldn't see that graphic where you are.aphic terms, it shows you spending $67 million, and the next one down from you, bernie sanders, pete buttigieg, spending $10 million, and all the way down to $1 million. then with mike bloomberg dwarfing you. do you understand why so many americans look at a graph like that and think what they're seeing is unfairness? they think they're seeing the ability of billionaires to buy their way into presidential politics. >> well, let me say this, lawrence. for the last ten years as an outsider, i have been putting together coalitions of americans to take on what i think of as unchecked corporate power. and in doing that, i've been taking on what i think are the biggest problems in america, that we have a broken government that's been bought by corporations. so in every one of those fights, i've put in all of my time, my heart and soul, and my money to try and solve what i think are the biggest problems in america, including our climate crisis and democracy, to return democracy to the people,

mr. steyer. >> good morning. >> just about that moment.nds did it take for your brain to compute, i have w57b wandered into something awkward here? >> it didn't take a long time. but i didn't really hear anything. i was going over to say good night to two senators who i respect who are on the stage with me. they were in the middle of a moment. so i just said my good nights as fast as i could. i wasn't trying to intrude on somebody else. >> i know you weren't trying to intrude. it does seem like you heard more than you are letting on. because you had to stand there for a few beats while they were still kind of going at it. so maybe you could just share with us, was it your impression they were burying the hatchet or still sniping at each other? >> you know, i didn't really hear it. i thought that was, for me, a chance to say good night to a conversation. look, i know everyone is interested in that conversation. but what i thought was interesting about last night was really an opportunity to get on this stage and for everybody to talk about

mr. steyers said in response, quote, the question about whether i will continue to support progressive causes, progressive candidates and the democratic party is something i've always said i will do, which i think is a yes. maybe. but that leaves us with a wild and baffling dynamic in the democratic primary right now. two billionaires pouring what seems like endless amounts of money into the race, sounding like they'll keep the money flowing for whoever is in this right through november. but at least in the case of tom steyer in this next debate, it seems pretty clear the reason he's going to be on the debate stage is just because he spent all of the money anybody was spending in both nevada and south carolina. those are early states that are supposed to get tons of attention from everybody. his disproportionate spending there appears to have vaulted him not only to the debate stage but into the next phase of the campaign. there's one person i turn to help me make sense of these things. he joins us on set next. stay with us. things he joins us on set next. stay with us you try hard, you eat r

mr. steyer has been in the debates. bloomberg is running a campaign right now where he is spending over $100 million in ads already. he is not planning in rung in the first four. >> he is skipping the democracy part of this. >> he is also not planning on being in the debates because the way you qualify for the debates is with a donor class as well as polling. he is not taking donations. lamenting that billionaires have a lot of power is something different than beating them in the primary. how do you strategize to beat something like that when they have infinite resources and they're really not running in the same kind of race that you are? >> that is the fundamental question here. so i made the decision when i got in this race, not just who i'd be fighting for. i'd be fighting for the folks that ooh i've been fighting for all my life, for hardworking people, and what i'd be fighting for, for universal child care and cancelling student loan debt, but how i'd be fighting, that i wasn't going to do this with fundraisers.

mr. steyer, what do you do when someone points out that you don't have the charisma, popularity, or the qualificationsnator sanders, i heard that you helped adele work through some writer's block when she was composing the lyrics to "hello." what did you tell her? >> talk about the pain [ laughter ] >> seth: it turned out great congratulations. mayor buttigieg, why were you chugging a big glass of milk backstage before the debate? >> to take the edge off.

[ applause ] >> hello. it is so nice to be here with you. my goodness. dr. flora, thank you so much. that was so nice. look, i assume you know what i am here for is take your questions. but, i am going to do a little bit of an introduction for those of you who don't know me well about who i am and why i am running. i am aware as dr. flores describes me as a rich person. that's not who i am. my mom was as teacher, my mom was from minneapolis, minnesota. after she retires, she was a teacher at the broken house detention teaching prisoners how to read. my dad was the first generation to go to college. my grandfather was a plumber. my father graduated from college at the age of 18. he went to law school and became a lawyer and left the law in order to become a naval officer in world war ii. my parents were depression years world war ii babies who thought the united states was the greatest idea in history and you had to make sure you gave back as much of the country as you got for the country. because he was alr
