are stepping into the political arena being the 1st to spend all his own money and elect himself tom styer billionaire spending his own money on a campaign to get big money out of politics which is pretty remarkable bloomberg of course has tens of billions of dollars but one of the most famous billionaire brothers now just a brother with the koch brothers has spent $9000000.00 in 21000 alone lobbying the government but the thing about them is this sort of notion of demoralization of the voters as their whole macit said the voter is that get rid of government big government is bad. and yet they spend billions themselves lobbying government what what is this about it's about the fact that if you want to you know lower the cost of doing business by getting rid of regulations that might help communities but hurt your ability to maximize profit it is in your financial self interests to advocate for the removal of those public health or public safety protections and so all of this is simply driven by these powerful interests pursuing their narrow self interests and the problem is that the public

keep campaigning in iowa right and theoretically vice president biden as well he will be able and tom styer they'll all be able to be present in iowa new hampshire of course the trial is focused on it least as a side matter on hunter biden's seat on the border. and just one more developing story that we should note the service of bristol were hacked there's likely russian by the russians so this is another developing i mean there's just so much news in this very live investigation still taking place the debate last night for you came out what would you say on top i think it was a draw i mean really there was nobody who landed a super meaningful punch that the main kind of optical takeaway was a live elizabeth warren zinger about you know every woman on the stage her and amy club which are having one all of their elections that i'm in collectively having 10 but generally i don't think there were any real knockouts what was interesting is the infosys on foreign policy that took place at the start and what the candidates but all tried to do was say you know who has the judgment for this role t

vermont senator bernie sanders the billionaire executive tom styer he's a newcomer to the race and massachusetts senator elizabeth warren there to the far right now warren is a former wall professor he rose to national prominence by litigating against bankers and corporations before working as an economic advisor to president barack obama has more. she views selfies as a crucial part of her campaign and says she has a plan for everything elizabeth warren one of the top tier 2020 democratic hopefuls . oklahoma city in oklahoma elizabeth warren's hometown hours before she set to speak and her former high school people are already lining up i haven't totally decided on him voting for yet but i'm interested. in any particular issues. i'm interested in you know kind of her solution for student debt and i know she's talked a little bit about affordable child care things like that are a thing very interesting to me especially as a young mom who has a lot of student. the crowd seems fired up when she takes the stage elizabeth warren talks about growing up in oklahoma i have 3 older brothers about her fa

to really bread and butter issues while senator warren and sanders and for that for a little less tom styer are speaking to a different kind of base that i don't actually think are would help win the presidency in 2020 with that said i agree with alex about it's very tough during the pietschmann situation to break through the noise i mean it's going to suck up all the media oxygen and really when you want a bread and butter discussion on tariffs and some the other things that are hurting the states that will determine the election it's hard to break through on that element i don't think though it hurts the vice president it didn't hurt him in fact his poll numbers went up during the impeachment trial that was focused on him in essence during the house side and i think the same thing in the senate side because his message is look the president's afraid i mean he's most afraid to run against me to the point that he was willing to call in foreign favors in this regard so i think that this will just highlight his electability argument which is what his number one argument and narrative has been

as well as billionaire tom styer will take the stage in this debate. going to our guests now.'ll start with you first. you, my friend, are a keep observer of these things. what is your latest take away from the latest iowa poll? >> the fact that we are still looking at a shuffling of the deck chairs really says how unsettled this field is. especially as to how 40% of likely caucus goers still haven't picked a candidate. i expect a lot of change. i don't see a whole lot of settling on a front runner or a national speaking to lead the voice to this party yet. >> in 2016, it seems every front runner for a while. you've got pete buttigieg in third. biden in fourth. nationally, biden is still the front runner. what has changed? >> to begin with, this is all in the margin of error. a couple of things have happened. one is, you saw elizabeth warren peek during the summer and come down. she has a very strong base of support. very well organized in iowa. i think pete buttigieg on a take off path and he's settled down a little bit. one of the things the iowa voters is concerned about. t

we have california entrepreneur, tom styer shooting up to double digits in nevada and california. he has spent tens of millions on ads in the states. these part-tispikes in the poll he qualifies for the next debate when booker and yang haven't qualified. are you surprised? >> yes and no. yes because it clearly is -- you would think it's also a matter of having this relationship with voters that sharls tacharles ta but money does buy you air time and air time can be incredibly effective especially when you've had the time and the run up to the campaign that tom steyer has had. this is a man that before he jumped into the presidential campaign, he was running an impeachment campaign for two years. remember all of those ads about trump across the air wave, across the country. i think in all 50 states these ads were airing and digitally as well. i think he is taking advantage of that. i think you have voters that remember him from that and all of that counts. i think at the end of the day, however, you're going to have to see whether he has made that personal connection with voters. e

and some major figures who are elected statewide in their states and has favored candidates like tom styerthe e debate stage. but the dnc is adamant. they're not going to change their polling strategy and donor strategy and they feel this is the fairest and safest way to get the candidates up there who ought to be on the debate stage. six candidates on tuesday. all of whom are white and also a problem for the democratic party which, you know, is sort of the welcome home to voters of color, or likes to portray itself that way. the dnc is not apologizing for that. >> beth, we are 22 days away from the iowa caucuses. it is essentially anybody's race at this point. four top frontrunners at this point and former mayor pete buttigieg in new hampshire. if any of these candidates would break out from the pack, how would that change the algorithm to what is ahead? >> well, you mentioned earlier the strong showing that joe biden has among african-american voters and that could potentially really change the calculus. if he does well enough to sort of hang on and get himself to south carolina and to n

turn on a television, to turn on a radio, to turn on a computer in south carolina without seeing tom styer. he has completely blanketed the state with ads for several months now. he is all over tv when other candidates have not been at tv at all. you have billboards all over the roads. blitzed the state and made the state of nevada his top priorities. it appears to be paying off. he is still mostly right now competing what senator sanders, senator warren for that second part. nobody is encroaching on joe biden. but tom -- tom starr has gone from a candidate who nobody has really known before the campaign .tyle it's quite an interesting story to watch. joining us lovegrove from charleston, south carolina, we thank you for being with us. rin murphy is joining me from des moines. let's talk about the polling in iowa showing bernie sanders is moving ahead. why? guest: when you talk about bernie, his strong base of supporters never left him throughout the process. other democrats have looked at the candidates in like to hear what they heard from this candidate or that candidate. bernie has his
