i'm joined by cnn political commentator van jones, republican consultant alex cast castellanos and jennifering us from california. van, we saw hillary clinton say during a discussion with the chairman of the south carolina democratic part yeey. this is a bit of a hit against bernie sanders. let's watch. >> this is fuelled in large measure by young people. and it is a particular develop mt development in the civil rights movement that deserves our support. by that i mean there are some who say, well, you know racism is a result of economic inequality. i don't believe that. >> there are some who say. now she doesn't say bernie sanders, but that niece the trent seize there, right? why go after him? >> this is smart on her part. our party has three different factions. there's the more mainstream moderate faction. she's associated with that. there is this populist economic faction, elizabeth warren bernie sanders, de blasio, but -- and sanders is already there. the danger is can sanders tap into the third part of the party, this rising racial justice young movement, black lives matter the dreame

(vo) if you have type 2 diabetes you may know what it's like to deal with high... and low blood sugar. januvia (sitagliptin) is a once-daily pill that, along with diet and exercise helps lower blood sugar. januvia works when your blood sugar is high and works less when your blood sugar is low, because it works by enhancing your body's own ability to lower blood sugar. plus januvia, by itself, is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). januvia should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. tell your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis. serious side effects can happen, including pancreatitis which may be severe and lead to death. stop taking januvia and call your doctor right away

squl i think id's interesting that last night, van jones admitted he's wrong, you're admitting you'reg. it's very interesting tr e for me to watch. >> john, i have toe ask you this. >> go ahead, john. >> i think the debate tomorrow night will be very telling on ana's point. i think he's exactly right. for right now, donald trump has tapped anger in the republican primary voter. but, whether or not that anger translates into a vote for him for president, remains to be scene. >> but here's the problem with that. the person they're supporting right now is, for all practical purpos purposes, a fictional character running for president. they can't tell you all that much about donald trump other than the fact that he is very ae anti-wa w anti-wa wae. i won't be surprised if at the beginning, he asked everyone to stand up and join him in singing the national anthem. we have much more to come here, so everybody stay with me. so is he prepping for this debate? also, jeb bush doing some damage control that he made about funding for women's health care program. ays were told we were german. we w

out front now, michael thornton a long time biden supporter and van jones a cnn political commentatorgreat to see you. jeff you heard jeff lying out everything in his report. from your pore suspective why does this race need joe biden? >> because he is best qualified. for one thing, his last seven years of service as vice president has been one of great distinction. whether there was a crisis abroad in china or ukraine or iran know biden was the person that was inevitably sent out there to sort it out and did a very good job on that. domestically he has been one of the few people in washington able to work on bipartisan basis. he has ga respect in the congress among republicans as well as the democrats. and finally, you look at his personal characteristics. he has great courage. he -- in these days when you worry about authenticity there is no one that questions joe biden's then fifth. he certainly says what he believe and what he stands for. finally, he is not a polarizing person. he is the time of person that can bring this country together i think to a degree. i think he would just

let's get into it with van jones, cnn political commentator, jennifer jacobs of "the sdmoin register,respondent, and haley barbour, former mississippi governor. thanks one and all for being here. so, are you hearing anything in iowa about people maybe wanting biden to run or biden reaching out to iowans? >> not so much a hunter, but there has been some reaching out. his inner circle has reached out to a limited number of friends of biden in iowa. they haven't really reached out to the extended network in iowa yet, and they're not saying he has given a green light on running. he hasn't. but they're saying we would like to prepare just in case he does. so we're expecting an uptick of pro-biden activity in the next few days. >> is there a hunger for biden? >> look, i mean, no, there's not. but listen, he is incredibly respected. he's a beloved figure in our party. but the reality is, he's not so different from hillary clinton from the point of view of the rising energy in the party. the clinton party was a very pro-incarceration party, anti regulation for wall street and big on triangula

you are seeing at the moment newt gingrich and van jones. the question is what are the common areas. or you had john connors, the member of congress. it is the case that the mainstream media, cable, and others, still buy into this false equivalent, where they do give the climate deniers equal weight, and that is terribly destructive and something "the nation" never buys into. i would argue that transparency is our objectivity. we are honest where we come from. we are accurate and our facts, principled, but that false equivalent i think is something that is still embedded both in television, old and new media. last question. >> i'm curious about how your audience has evolved. you have such a rich history. what do you see moving forward? ms. heuvel: i was talking about .his coming in i was a different media age is probably early 1960's. we just launched an early website. demographic is 25 to 34. the continuity and change, the ability to bring people in -- i are, i want subscribers who 105 and readers who are 12. we've had writers who are 13 an
