, georgia's own stacey abrams.t the government race because she said she's ruling out a senate run because she's focused on winning an executive level seat at the state or perhaps even the federal level if she decides to run for president. but do you or other party leaders in georgia think that she should run for a senate seat at the very least for the good of the party? >> i think that we all have to make our own decisions. and i can't begin to speak for what her decision-making is. i know she'll do what she thinks is best for herself. but i think the reality is that suppression is real. but more importantly, we can't stay home and we can't rely on thin margins. we have to get more people registered to vote. we have to actually turn out more people to vote. because when you rely on thin margins, then there is always going to be a question on what could have happened, but we have to put the work in and people have to recognize that elections matter. when you look at the the thin margin of the last presidential elec

into the void comes the woman who ran against him, stacey abrams.nta journal constitution ahead of the group will meet with film executives in los angeles next week to discuss these issues and joining me now from atlanta is stacey abrams. what's the intent and goal behind this meeting? >> as you pointed out, the state has 92,000 employees in the film industry and $9.5 billion in impact. the governor not only refused to go to hollywood, but respond to requests from 15 of the largest companies in the film industry to meet with them. my goal was simple, i want to protect jobs in georgia and women in georgia. having built relationships not only with the film industry, but other industries that are here in georgia. i was asked to have a conversation about what the bill does and what it means and how to best support women in the film industry and i'm here to provide information. >> a lot of folks are supportive of abortion rights who are horriied about the legislation and in missouri and other places and wondering about what can be done. what is the use o

that's an issue near and dear to stacey abrams heart. urprised to see that as a topic of conversation but abrams' eventual endorsement, should she decide to go that route in this race will be a big deal, steph. >> it's going to be a biggie. i know they all want it. thank you, garrett haake. >>> now to money, power politics. income inequality. we talk all about it in the abstract. it's now become a key issue in the 2020 election. candidates rolling out official economic policy plans to address it. the most prominent from senator elizabeth warren. she talked about it last night in our town hall here on msnbc. >> what i've got is a two-cent wealth tax on the biggest fortunes in this country. the top 0.1%. anybody who has already made $50 million, the 50 millionth and first dollar we'll do a two-cent tax. they pitch in that two cents and two cents on every dollar after that, that will give us enough money to do universal child care for every baby age 0 to 5. universal pre-k for every 3-year-old and 4-year-old. >> that's a plan for you. let's

yet democrats love stacey abrams. biden has all but promised he will pick her for vice president if he wins the democratic nomination. instead of being grateful for that because it's quite a promotion, abrams says she is insulted. abrams told the guardian quote i think it is deeply problematic." she went to yale law school that's how they talk. deeply problematic that there would be any discussion of relevant gating any woman to the role of second when any primary has yet to fully take shape. in other words, it's racist. stacy abrams is calling joe biden racist for offering her, in effect, the vice presidency. and not immediately handing her the president itself. but, if biden isn't going to make her president. abrams is hinting she will run for it herself. >> the next election coming up is 2020. >> really? >> i have heard. >> okay. >> will you be running for anything in that election. >> it's entirely possible. [laughter] >> what would it be if you had to rank them probability. >> it would be an office. >> tucker: how

but i don't see lightning i striking twice again for stacey abrams.idn't she write an op-ed piece last year when she was running, she owed over 200,000 bucks in student loans, credit card debt, back taxes. shouldn't she be paying off some of these debts? stop complaining and get a something done. >> tucker: it's racist to offer her the vice presidency, unbelievable.'s lest you think she is the most unimpressive figure in the 2020 political landscape, think again. new york mayor bill de blasio is struggling to qualify for the democratic debate. so just like abrams he is throwing a temper tantrum not letting him on the debate stage -- my favorite line -- attack greatest strengtt diversity. >> a lot of candidates, a lot of the people are concerned about the september rules. >> yeah. the september rules, they double the number of donors up to 120,000. >> which is a huge number. look, i appreciate the impulse but i think we have to ask the question, is this going to limit debate and limit the diversity of the field and limit the options for voters in a way

stacey abrams was ultimately defeated, narrowly missing out on becoming the first ever african americanade of president trump's first state visit to the united kingdom? i think the concern about the end of an era is more pervasive. this is one president and it can't shatter a 75 year history. my hope is that those who have witnessed his performance both in england and at home that we understand there is a larger constructed to being an american than simply one person's twitter feuds. we are large and much vibrant nation and we hold to the language of franklin d roosevelt that we are a united world with a common purpose. were you one of the couple of dozen democrats who are running to unseat donald trump, would you be concerned that the images of him with the queen and him playing the part of a statement abroad would help his reputation at home and make it harder to win the white house for the democrats?” would if he had not have incited a feud with the mayor of london before he landed and began very solemn and celebratory day with an unnecessary feud with an actor. i think we as america

in: talk about george particular, the state e that stacey abrams lost, that brian kemp won. he was secretary of state so he was in charge of his own election when he ran against abrams, and how that t plays at overall in politics, in particular around abortion. >> the voter suppression also explains why we have these extreme abortion bans because you look at georgia where brian kemp was both secretary of state and running for governor the same time, essentially overseeing his own election. in that election, georgia purged 2 million people from the voting rolls. they close 214 polling places. this helped brian kemp and hurt stacey abrams and allow brian kemp to eke out a very narrow victory. then he signed this abortion ban the stacey abrams was strongly opposed to, which was passed by legislature in georgia that was heavily gerrymandered in favor of r republicans. you're a governor who is elected in part of voter suppression signing one of the most extreme abortion laws in the country. had it not been for gerrymandering and voter suppression, you might've had a very differen

stacey abrams was the breakout star of 2018 not beto. closer in a deep red state of actually winning than beto did in texas, which is arguably demographically moving faster than beto did. she did this new york times op ed about voter suppression. she's becoming the sage that many of these candidates are going to for information and advice. she's a woman of color who could enter the stage herself. she's ready for prime time. >> she could. >> i think in politics, right now, there is a job opening. it could be filled by barack obama. but he's a former president. and he probably wouldn't jump into a primary. who are the -- who's the person or the people who are going to be the go tos whose blessing will signal something more broadly. i think stacey abrams is becoming that person or at least a part of that group in this election which is fascinating. >> i don't know if she's going to jump any time soon. >> might be more powerful if she doesn't. >> might be more powerful if she doesn't. i know she's not running for president this time, but may

i believe that stacey abrams has the right strategy here.n this era is to get your base out and vote very heavily, which is what trump's doing on the other side. so i don't think the word socialism matters to anybody who wasn't around before the soviet union collapsed. i think it's a meaningless word. yes, the right-wing oldsters are using it. their base thinks it's not meaningless. that's not our base. >> if you get the same people out in the same places last night, you lose again. thinking about those people who you could peel off from who you didn't get the last time? >> i actually don't think so, chris. i don't think it's about peeling off the people in the so-called middle of the spectrum. it would be nice to get them and i think they're probably sick of trump so we may get them. the way we're going to get this is the way we picked up 15 seats in virginia and 40 seats in the house, hopefully soon to be 41 in north carolina, by getting out our base. getting out our base. we have to excite the base. >> all right. one more question that go

and then being launched into this presidential race and i kept saying why not andrew gillum or stacey abrams. they look rather pressure yent by staying out. he did a lot of damage to himself. you get back to this question of maybe he should have actually run for senate instead of president this year. so it also -- it reinforces this point we can't just accept you and say you're going to get all the support. you speak a certain way and carry yourself a certain way. so we have to support you. doesn't work that way. >> part of what you're talking about is where the democratic electorate feeling like there's work work to be done and there's going to be a competitive primary. this was a deep conversation. my thanks to britney, sally and basel. up ahead, donald trump says let's get rid of journalists while he stood by putin. pressure off the debate stage, 2020 dems at a detention center and reaction to the debate you have not seen yet including coverage from around the world. >> joe biden. >> this is the spin room where candidates compost debate to redirect their failures or compound their success

states like north carolina but there were 158 early voting places -- we saw what happened with stacey abramssuppression is what kept her out. we figured it out in this room. we figured it out. racialized voter suppression and gerrymandering is not just a black issue. we figured out and we have written it up that the same people that use racialized voter onceession to get elected, they get elected, they are stalwart against health care, living wages, union rights, lgbt rights, women's rights, funding public education. and this is the strange dynamic -- they use ration and racialized voter suppression to get elected, and then they use the power to hurt mostly white people. so we figured it out. if we are really going to transform america, i don't care what the polls say. all campaigns get polls, this is the top issue, this is the top issue. we figured out that if the candidates do not raise a real conversation about how racialized voter suppression and gerrymandering is hurting all of us and undermining many of the agenda items that 80% of americans want but we can't get because of the way the

here is what stacey abrams have said. >> in this instance we have leaders that do not care.he idea that it matters if we lose the dollars here. we know they can make money in other ways. they don't want the to accept the responsibility of the women in the state of georgia. i support those that want to bring their values by not bringing their resources here but i don't want to harm the citizens of georgia. we're calling on folks town vest on the work on the ground. >> so he is is saying he doesn't care. what do you make of the argument that it doesn't matter if hollywood goes away. >> first all all, and he did try to poke them in the eye by saying they were c list actors. this is a man ahead of a state that invested over $4 billion in this industry through tax credits alone through ten years and provided 92,000 jobs for georg georgians. he was to politically engage in a war for hollywood, so we need to remember this is a waste of our taxpayer dollars. this is political malpractice. one of the owners of "the hawk" said this just yesterday. nobody would run a state like this et

blumenauer abolish ice and stacey abrams gave the response to the president's state of the union saidy with non-citizens voting. do you think with that perspective and those kind of statements they are going to work with us? pete: i agree. zero chance. so you take the call from nancy pelosi. put it out, give to you with weeks. it's a deadline that ultimately will mean in two weeks we will do what we were going to do go weeks ago but democrats get to expose themselves again. jedediah: if i were advising him and i'm not by any stretch of the imagination the approach of caving oh democrats, how many times can you go down that road? pete: you got try. jedediah: i get it but at some point you have to recognize. ed: the democrats are saying time and time again look at this tragedy at the border and kids we agree horrible conditions then congress do something about it. the president is calling them out. jedediah: they are not going to do it. ed: time for someone to act. we shall see. turning to a fox news alert. the president doubling down on his commitment to keep iran from building a nucle

when i mentioned today what happened to stacey abrams in georgia. 14,000 ballots were withheld, voter registrations because her opponent just decided he could do it. all of that can be fixed with reauthorizizing the voting rights act and working on money and politics and passing my bill to register every kid when they turn 18. >> president amy klobuchar takes the oath of office. mitch mcconnell, even if the democrats take back the senate, he's still minority leader, and we saw what he did as minority leader during eight years of president obama and vice president biden. joe biden said what he would do. what would you do about minority leader mitch mcconnell? >> people should go to my website, amyklobuchar.com, and there are things you can do no matter what mitch mcconnell does. executive orders, rolling back some of the orders that this president put in, signing us back into the climate change agreement. doing something, actually, about closing the boyfriend loophole if that's not done yet on our guns. and then making sure we have long-term legislative plans in place. you can do a bun

pick stacey should abrams, from georgia. she excites the base.he puts pressure on herself and republicans. and she brings in young people. other than that, the rest of the field is pretty good. what that is what america needs right now. thank you. host: let's go to rick, calling in from townsend, delaware. how are you? caller: good morning. host: go ahead. caller: the only imperative i can see is to be trump. and i think that while many of the candidates are really, really good, i think it's joe biden and i think a biden harris ticket would be the thing to do. at the lastlook vice presidential debate. i think kamala harris would make a great president in waiting when joe biden decides that maybe one term is enough. i think you would just for lay donald trump on a debate stage. you can't govern if you don't win. i think that is the most important thing. that's the imperative. [no audio] in the senate races and in the congressional races of ross the finish line. i think he is a man of character . i think he reaches the voters that we want to reach

happened in georgia where they withheld 58,000 bouts, we would've had a governor in georgia name stacey abramsd we still can with voting rights. it means passing a constitutional amendment to overturn citizens united in passing my bill to register kids. but to do this, we're going to need to win. i've got a plan for our first 100 days. 100 things you can do without mitch mcconnell, without the republicans. i run my campaigns with one simple idea, that is you leave no one behind. i've gone to every single county in my state. you meet people where they are. i have one every single congressional district every time i have run. trump won byonald 20 points. i have one every race, every place, everywhere, every time. this is going to mean the kind of race we run in this country, and it's going to mean you, south carolina democrats. on, is the art that we are the day after the inauguration, we owns a people marched across this country. againstine they marched that mean-spirited refugee order. on day 100, they marched for science. -- what do wegn want? science. when do we want it? after peer-reviewed.
