speaker, we welcome the families of those who are lost and who were here with us today. in past times when australia has been tested by fire, we have given the fires a name based on the name of the day or locality. black thursday in 51. black friday in 9 and 39. ash wednesday in 1983. the bush fires of 2003. black saturday in 2009. just saying these words brings back such chilling memories. this year we have faced and are still facing a terrible season of fire. national in scale. fires that reached our highest mountain range and our longest beaches. fires that consumed forests, grasslands, and farms, suburbs and villages. fires that jumped rivers and highways. fires where days became night. and the night sky turned red. fires that raged into the heavens as clouds of fire. with it all, a merciless smoke that lingered across our cities. fires that still burn. and the smoke from burned bush land that left an oppressive tightening in our chest told us that all was not right. this is the black summer of 2019-2020 that has proven our national character and our resolve. a natio

that's who we are. we don't settle, we don't back down, we meet big problems with even bigger solutions. so i'm here tonight because i believe that big dreams are still possible in america. tonight you showed that when you imagine an america that lives up to its ideal, you can set in motion the process of making it a reality. all it takes is some hard work and better connections. and here in iowa that's what happens. you came together, you organized, you showed that we are united in our conviction. that hope defeats fear. that courage overcomes cynicism. that we will always be a stronger party and a stronger nation when we unite around our shared values to advance justice and expand opportunity to everyone. so, right now, across america, there are folks standing with groups of friends and sitting on the couch with loved ones and maybe even watching this quietly on their phones because everyone else in the houses is asleep. watching and thinking maybe i could help out. maybe i could volunteer some time.

faculty who are cut were mostly part-timers who had health benefits. so that was one big cost savings it had nothing to do with certificates or the programs or what is good for the students. how about the real estate? it's a real estate grab here. we have southeast campus completely emptied out. great, let's sell it. we will tear down the art bill -- arts building so we can build a new building. we just heard there will be another new building built. what is this? what is really going on? let's look at the highest levels of administration here. we want your help. >> hello. i'm a student at city college. just to go off with janet was saying just now, we do want your help. i just wanted to, to the trustees in the room, students and faculty spent the last two months fighting really, really hard to restore the classes we lost and i'm glad that now you are supporting this supplemental , but you were not there for the legislative visits , you are not there advocating for the funding, and i think that, you know, supporting the supplemental a day before it was

joined the human chain some of them who are survived who survived the bombings 75 years ago i talked to one who was a 4 year old boy 75 years ago and and he told me it's now more important than ever to stand up against the forces who are trying to take down this democracy again and who are trying to forget about the war crimes 75 years ago that also germany committed so. this topic yes definitely. whenever i talk to anyone ok all right leone even hammerstein in dresden the only thank you. here is some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world that european commission president or so far the lion has acknowledged mistakes in how external consultants were hired when she was german defense minister but she defended the use of consultants fund a lie and testified today before a german parliamentary committee investigating accusations of nepotism and inefficiency british prime minister boris johnson has fired several ministers in a major cabinet reshuffle and in a surprise move he his finance minister resigned rather than firing his own aides and installing once

republican mayor who's a rudy giuliani ally. who had gotten into some trouble because his policing policy, stop and frisk, had been ruled unconstitutional. how did he get endorsements from key democrats in new york city races? well, one thing he would do, he would donate very generously to keep people, you know, to non-profits or maybe a church group that someone who led the church was very influential. he was able to curry favor with people who could give him very meaningful endorsements. furthermore, he could also silence critics. after he transferred his voter i.d. from republican to independent, the republican party never attacked him after that. sort of curious. you look at the financial filings and see he was giving them millions of dollars, able to use his money to both curry support but also silence dissent. >> the most incredible examples, he was one of the people who advocated term limits for mayoral mayors, right? there was a two-term limit then he want a third so they had to unwind that. and all the groups that proba

we need people who are fighting for those who are incarcerated, fighting for those who are detained,ing for those who are tryingng to access health ce system that has really ignored them for so long. i think someone like senator elizabeth warren who is really trying to uproot and get out of here all of that corruption is who we need to be standing behind in this moment because as you will notice, particularly the mayor's closing statement, he made a statement that he is gunning for people who are are not intnterested in a status quo and revolution. that makes no sense. i think you have to be very clear about where you stand. for me, maybe he is afraid to say he stands for the status quo but i know the people i role with in the lgbtq community are looking for and they're looking for something that is going to blow past the status quo that has forgotten us for so long. amy: or another way pete buttigieg put it, we should not have to choose between one candidate who wants to burn this party down and another who wants to buy this party out. we have to go to break and we will come back to

when they walk in the door they will see who is viable, who is not, who shall i go with? last night there was a super bowl party and that someone was leaving they said i have to decide tomorrow? i said yes, two-state is not work. host: this is from akron, ohio, rick line for democrats. caller: good morning, sir. good morning, jennifer. ae question i have is more of feeling. this feels like you have a big, ring, and people are trying to decide who is the bull.erson to slay the democrats seem to have gotten it wrong nominating clinton, and they were not able to beat trump. what is the feeling of desperation amongst democrats? that is all i need to know. thank you. guest: two or for the question. it is definitely top of every democrat's mind, beating donald trump. it is how they define that is the question. everyone says so and so is most electable. people are looking at past races saying were we to carefully 2016 or 2004 -- were democrats too cautious or should we take a bold step or should we be careful? s are pretending to be pundits. my statement continues to be we do no

who are still surviving who have lost people who had absolutely nothing to do with the conflict they were in and it again it raises the ire of those individuals but now you have generations that are upset with you because you've literally taking out whole families and in many cases nothing is ever done about in these people aren't even acknowledged exactly i mean a little like this in 2070 new york new york times magazine investigation of nearly $150.00 u.s. led coalition airstrikes targeting isis in just iraq just iraq they found that one in 5 of the coalition strikes resulted in civilian deaths that was a rate that was 30 times more than what was acknowledged by the coalition now that's a big discrepancy and i understand why this report was put together because it's like when you see discrepancies like that that's not like clerical errors that you know where you got 31 times it's just the new york times that's a big difference absolutely and in this case i would even call that a discrepancy like there are certain things are just flat out lies and i think that when you have a number

>> who is that guy? >> well, that is tied to the person who is he is describing.h carolina, trump is popular, and lindsey graham wants to continue to be a senator, and he also, with that proximity to power. and the more he is, and we have seen it the more you are play nplaying to the audience of one, you get through the door. >> he is chairman of judiciary committee, and he has power, and he is a lick spittle suckup, and he has an audience of one of donald trump. and what is frightening is that department of justice would actu actually engage in this and bill barr, the attorney general would signal the same thing, and if you have the attorney general and the chairman of the judiciary committee essentially conspiring to do investigations of people for political revenge, those are powerful outrageous things to do and nothing has been learned by this president over the last three months. >> yes, we see what happens to people who say no, and stand up to the president and do something different and he has them frogged marched out of the white house unceremoniously and

>> who are you?d lawrence does not know the answer to that question. >> here's o'toole, who is given this opportunity, and he just -- he goes all the way. and the way he played it, you know, with his physicality, he gives one of the greatest performances i've ever seen by an actor in my life. >> kennington, the sculptor who sculpted him, said lawrence reminded him of a middleweight boxer. and at that moment, something very important clicked, which was this. and the eyes didn't travel over the clothes, but they were aware of the hands and aware of everything that was going on, and it was at once withdrawn as a boxer must be, and at the same time very penetrating. and this one physical thing really clicked, and it made a whole difference to the way i played it. >> with lawrence, you have this special thing, an intimate epic. >> do you think i'm just anybody, ali? do you? >> and it's an incredibly detailed character study in one of the biggest movies ever made. y by using natural ingredients to craft sc

this is the type of person we need, who understands communities like ours, who comes from the midwest and can speak to the people who have been left behind and who need the help of our president and federal government. as a problem solver, as a leader and visionary who can bring people together, i am very proud to be supporting mayor pete buttigieg for president of the united states.

[cheers] she is trying to build a stronger, healthier economy for all of us. it is great to have her in nashua again. she is here so often, she might as well have an apartment. but why don't i bring annie up to the stage? [cheering] i give you annie custer. >> look at this. wow. thank you, jim shane oh my goodness. -- thank you, jim. oh my goodness. look at this crowd. good afternoon, nashua. wow. the most a

who won and who lost? >> i think elizabeth warren clearly won.t was one of her mike drop moments. she came prepared, not only to talk about some issues specifically in the state of nevada, she knew she had to up her game and i feel she did and i felt, a lot of people online, google agrees with me, number one among searches but you saw somebody who could go against trump on the debate stage and i don't think everybody has looked at elizabeth warren in that way, she was strong and prepared and new her stuff. my loser would be the democratic party. hold on, mark will be excited about this. the reason i say that is i think everybody on the stage forgot we are on the same team and the only way to not have a repeat of 2016 is to be united and i wish they had focused more on the true opponent, donald trump, rather than attacking each other. >> give me a winner and a loser. >> i have to agree in large measure with leslie. the winner tonight was donald trump. the democrats forgot that the opponent is the president, not one another. the personal attacks ma

offal article ii over article i, a senate who agrees with him and a attorney general who seems to letublic mega phone in the form of a network that believes he can do no wrong. >> it's an impassioned and lockstep minority of the country. it is a minority, barely. call it 47, call it 48%, but it's not above 50. it's unprecedented. i think the nixon question about fox news is fascinating, because all of subsequent political history is different. if august 1974 comes and goes and nixon finishes his term, ford is not president. carter is probably not president. reagan, who challenged ford, just everything unfolds. the bushes, it all it's like the wing of a butterfly. i think it's an entirely reasonable hypothetical to suggest that if nixon had had a well armed, well funded, well listened to propaganda arm that he could well have survived because you would have had people saying in 1973 and 1974 that it was a witch hunt. why aren't we investigating lawrence o'brien? there is some president's day dorkness for you because o'brien was the dnc chairman whose office was being bugged at the wate

we never saw the shepherd who was hungry, who was naked, who was a stranger. and the answer is, in as much as you have done it to one of these, the least of thy brethren, you have done it unto me. and what that says to me, it says a couple of really important things. there is value in every human being. not just in some of us. not just in rich ones, not just in ones we know as neighbors, but every human being has value. and -- [applause] and the second is that we are not called on to sit back and simply acknowledge that value. it's not a do no harm, it's that we are called on to act. we are called on to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to visit those in prison, and to welcome the stranger. that is our job as human beings. that is a moral person. [applause] i never thought in a million years that i would run for president, i never thought i'd run for any elected office. i came to this very late in life. but i believe that to be a strong nation, we must be a nation that lives our values every day. and that means we must be a nation that does not take childr

>> i wonder who will be convinced that blagojevich -- who is going to think of blagojevich as a reason to vote for the president, commuting his sentence? i don't know. hans nichols, thank you. >> reporter: we could have a great conversation offline on that. indiana, take other places where they think blagojevich has been mistreated. they think about this -- >> he was caught on tape saying a senate seat is a valuable thing. how can you be treated unfairly when you're caught on tape doing the thing that you're accused of doing? >> reporter: i don't necessarily think it's my role to defend mr. blagojevich. i just want to make the point -- >> no, i know. >> reporter: look, the president likes the idea that he gets to be the good guy. he likes to be for forgiveness. it's part of a story he tells. you hear jared kushner tell the story, part of their redemption project. in that super bowl ad with alice johnson where she thavenged the president for his humanity and forgiveness. >> i don't think you can compare alice johnson to -- i think they're apples and oranges here. hans nichols, thank you

that is who.bernie sanders and his folks have done diligently and recognized it's all about the math. there are only two places you can expand the electoral base. 12 million young people that were not gelgible to vote last time and 15 million latinos that are unregistered, but when registered 79% vote. i would encourage all of the candidates to do the exact same thing. again, if you are an independent who doesn't like donald trump, and if you are a registered democrat who doesn't like donald trump, you're going to vote forever. but if you basically sit at home but you have the opportunity to vote, the candidate looses. why? not only are we talking about who do you like? sadly the republican party has done a fan stask job of learning how to purge and purge individuals at scale. the democrats need to flood the zone with new voters who know their rights and have a shot. >> we used to say the person who was going to get the nomination was somebody you wanted to have a beer with, you could relate to. t

people in the past but also who are coughing who are showing symptoms this week the politburo standing committee made up of president xi jinping and china's top officials admitted to quote shortcomings and deficiencies in the government's response to the outbreak but it's more than just shortcomings and deficiencies in that when the outbreak began in and 8 people sounded the alarm they were intimidated by local police they were accused of making false comments they were told to stop the quote illegal activity now hundreds of people all dead that's what happens when you sense a public opinion is no. well here is what happened of course there's no denying that there should have been more information more transparency and a better emergency response system in place in the 1st place but it's also fair to say that beijing was very quick to get on top of things you have the chinese president saying that you know transparency is key timely publication of information is key in fact those 8 people with simple as you mentioned they were vindicated by none other than china's supreme court ok ther

anyone who crosses him.yet the white house claims that the president is not bothered at all by what bill barr says. you could call it a review, but you could call it a setup. you decide. the president using the justice department as a weapon to get what he wants. but is there rebellion in the ranks? is there rebellion in the ranks, jeffrey toobin, catherine rentful, garret graf? don't answer that because we're going to do it next. th the freee 14 day system, a continuous glucose monitor, you don't have to. with a painless, one-second scan you can check your glucose with a smart phone or reader so you can stay in the moment. no matter where you are or what you're doing. ask your doctor for a prescription for the freestyle libre 14 day system. you can do it without fingersticks. learn more at freestylelibre.us. charmin ultra soft! it's softer than ever. charmin ultra soft is softer than ever, so it's harder to resist. okay, this is getting a little weird! enjoy the go with charmin. to take care of yourself. bu

those who serve in uniform. [applause] >> doing a better job has some very specific and very concrete implications like we need to suspend student loan repayment for spouses who are experiencing unemployment because of the moving around they have had to do because they are married to somebody in in the office of the country. one example of a step we can take. have to do a much better job of militari' housing is quality, military housing its available to serve on active duty. a shockingly low person of families who are satisfied and the funding for that put at risk and when private contractors are in the mix they must be healed accountable for their performance and housing those who served and those who love them. we also need to recognize that the diversity of our armed forces is part of its strength. why we now need to stamp out any form of white nationalism rearing its ugly head in the military. why we need to ensure that somebody who put their lives on the line in the service of the nation but is undocumented

it is the average american who gets up every day, who is taking care of their families, who is thinkingody else will see to it that this president is not re-elected. but, no, it has to be all of us out there working and working very hard. we have a constitutional crisis and we've got to deal with it. this is what democracy is all about, when you see a president out of control, when you see those who have been elected to office, who are not acting responsibly and they're endangering our democracy, you have to speak out against them. you have to work against them. you have got to make sure that they're not re-elected ever again. >> well said, congresswoman maxine waters. thank you so much for being here tonight. really appreciate you. >> you're so welcome. thank you. >> thank you. >>> ahead, lots of new movement in the latest nbc news polling. michelle oba michael bloomberg makes the debate stage. we will talk about it next. ♪ hey! you know, i do think it's weird you've started commuting when you work from home. i'll be in my office. download audible and start every day off right. on a fl

there are infeidependents out te including in the state of new hampshire who voted for me who say toy not agree with everything that the democrats say on the debate stage. i don't agree with everything they say on the debate stage, but this is a decency check on this president. this is patriotism check on this president, and they don't want, as i said in my speech last night, four more years of a guy who's going to bulldoze through our democracy. it's really important to remember those people out there that see this as a decency moment for our country. i have been emphasizing that from the very beginning, and i think it's one of the reasons we're gaining speed. >> in terms of speed, i've talked to you at a number of points as you started to get into this, i feel like i've been checking in with you. from the very beginning you have been describing a slow and steady approach to the campaign. >> yes. >> you would not spend beyond your means. you would not try to grow too fast. you'd earn it on your merits, peak when you needed to peak. over the next three weeks, though, it's going to co

but then you had the 69 million who supported senators who wanted to see him removed.say the most telling stat of this disparity, because it required a two-thirds majority, you could have senators from 7% of the population of the country, that would have been enough to acquit him. there is the imbalance as it existed probably wasn't great from a democratic standpoint but could have been. >> it's not just impeachment. it serves to effect policies and legislation that ends up getting through the house or not getting through the house or not getting through the senate? >> that's exactly right. that's part of what's concerned to democrats. i have heard this argument that i think is compelling that you have these open areas in the middle of the country that need to have some skin in the game. part of the goal of the senate is to make it there is value in living in wyoming and weighing in aas opposed to i'm going to see what california and new york are going to do. it often is the case what it comes down to, particularly given how many of those states are so red and consiste

defied federal authorities, who soot custody and de -- who sought custody and detention of that's illegalndividual. but it's nothing new. we have seen it across the country where governors and mayors decide illegals who are criminals should not be handed over to see is * for deportation, but instead thud be allowed to roam freely among us. but folks it will only get worse if a democrat debts elected into the white house. what does this have to do with the democrat primary? everything. those seeking to be commander-in-chief are part of this constructionist, ignore the law men talt. bernie sanders is an out-and-out socialist who calls america from a racist society from top to bottom. he believes everyone should be able to vote, even felons who are in prison. he does not care about law and order. pete buttigieg, a mayor of a town in indiana has proven over and over again he doesn't know or understand anything about law and order. michael bloomberg is somewherey for what he said when he talked about law and order and still can't figure out what he meant when i talked about law and order. joe

it's bernie sanders who is in her lane. it's bernie sanders who took her votes.nie sanders who poses the threat to her nomination, not michael bloomberg. again, i think biden and klobuchar should be attacking michael bloomberg, but, you know, if you are going to vote for mike bloomberg, you ain't voting for elizabeth warren. >> right. >> and if you are going to vote for bernie sanders you ain't voting for michael bloomberg. she has got to pull supporters from bernie sanders to her camp to be competitive. >> absolutely. and i think the biden/bloomberg is so interesting because bloomberg is swooping in because biden is a poor campaigner. i look forward to seeing mike bloomberg compare on the national stage because i don't think we've seen him. i think we've seen his commercials for the most part. so it should be fascinating. everyone stay with us, there's much more ground to cover on the significance of tonight's democratic debate. >>> also ahead, the fallout continues in the aftermath of the houston astros sign stealing scandal. what some of baseball's biggest sta

who moved to the state of iowa.'re all being kind of restrained about it to tell you the truth. >> imagine all the people who were building these races around the viability in iowa, and then you have this false start. so you're sitting here -- and like one of the things i think the iowa democratic party should do, you can't do it now, you can't renege for all intents and purposes, but put all the data out at one time. what's the difference between 17 hours and 24 hours? i mean, we're already here now. we're waiting, you already flubbed this. at least get this right. my biggest -- what's going to happen is you're going to have -- what happens if joe biden in the data that comes out is fifth? >> right. >> right. >> that's a disadvantage to his campaign. >> absolutely. >> or what happens if amy klobuchar is fifth and she actually finishes fourth or sanders is first but buttigieg ends up winning? i mean, so why do you allow that confusing narrative -- >> you say wait. you say wait. >> yes, i mean, what's the matter? why

this is not a person who is known to have had contact with anybody who recently traveled in a foreign country. there's, in fact, no apparent contact that this person has had that explains why he or she has now come down with the coronavirus in northern california, but the person nevertheless has tested positive. that makes this the first person in the united states with coronavirus of unknown origin. this northern california landmark patient is the 60th person in the country overall who is known to be infected. president says it's soon to be zero. the cdc says they have now started contact tracing for this patient to figure out how this person may have been infected, who else might have been exposed either in the same way or by this person who is now diagnosed with the virus. a similar rubicon was crossed in the nation of germany today. health minister in germany today convened a news conference to announce coronavirus in germany is now in his words moving to a new phase because in germany, as of today, apparently like us, they now have new cases of the virus that can't be traced to a

there's nobody who has operated trump's teleprompter who does a better job at it and who the presidenttes more. gabe, he can read the president's mind whether it comes to keeping him on script, rewinding a little bit, making sure the president gets back on his train of thought. nobody has been able to do it like gabe. the president's developed an affinity for him, as have people around him. this unofficial protection racket around him. >> gabe is clearly a talented guy. i want to ask you about the president. apparently he was a big snl fan. not so much anymore. it's not just because he dislikes being made to look like a fool by alec baldwin. he was mad about the way steve bannon was portrayed as the grim reaper. that's how you identified him. what do you mean by this? what was the issue? >> early on in the trump era, there was an snl sketch where alec baldwin was playing donald trump and steve bannon, trump's white house chief strategist, comes in, but he is dressed as a grim reaper figure. it satirizes the influence on trump and the white house by saying, trump is the toddler who is n

who is still undecided or could change here? >> i'm decided. >> almost to who?ve i two candidates i really, really admire. one is michael bennet, and he is amazing. oh, wow. and the other is pete buttigieg. they're both two of the most compassionate, humane individuals that i have heard speak, and they both care deeply about education and our futures with our children and our environment. and they would take care of the of both of those. both people would take care of those. >> and you're nodding yes? >> i'm for joe. >> joe biden? >> joe biden. >> here we go. we found a biden voter. no, i'm only kidding. let me say like this. you hear all this trash. you heard the trash talk, yes? >> oh, terrible. >> so what's your response? you have a chance to tell everyone. >> joe is great. i voted for him in the past two elections. and he has the heart to bring the nation back together again. >> he was down a little bit. you think he can still come back? >> he better. >> there you have it. i'm going do one more over here and then we have two guests to talk us through all of

it was the general who brought up senator mccain, who was i was -- who i was very close with. he took me on many trips all around the world. i actually got to stand outside with him where he had been in vietnam and think about that bravery of someone who made a decision, despite being tortured , that cell that he stayed in for 5.5 years to allow others to be released before him because he knew that they were using them for political reasons to try to allow him to be released because of his dad and his grandpa before others. i have a fond memories of that senator mccain, as many of you know, had a wicked sense of humor. we were walking to this museum in that prison and they showed these happy pictures of g.i.'s playing table tennis and sitting around a christmas tree. and he kept whispering to meet, i don't remember that, i don't remember that, and then we got to a new exhibit of his flight glasswhich was in this basically exhibit. there was about 100 cameras behind us. the guy says, here is a new exhibit of your flight suit and it was pristine. next to it was a picture of him

who is he and why does this matter?han: he's a former college quarterback who workedn the trump campaign, w his body man. and was fired by the former s chief ff john kelly for -- it's unclear exactlywhat. but security clearance problems. was brought back in. tred kushner played a role in thatmp put him back in. he's elvated to run the presidential office. he's given johnny a pretty clear brief.d he wan him to get rid of the quote/unquote bd people. he's fed up with it. and he wants it doneuickly. so on thursday evening, this week thursday afternoon, johnny macanteeummoned white house leian sons. he sat them down. it was an introductory meeting. he said, we t needo know who the never trumpers are. 're going to stop promoting them. we're going to stop letting them move across agents sis. he foreshadowed sweeping changes across the government. some might have to wait until after the election. buthe cle message is we need to know who these people are. we need lists of names and we need to deal with this probl. robert: as th

who want something new.nd it is no surprise to me that bernie sanders, for the last week or two, has been polling number one here in the state of iowa. it's amazing. it's amazing. [cheers] and not just number one in iowa. he's number one in new hampshire. he's number one, the poll yesterday, he's number one in california. [cheers and applause] he's number one according to cnn with nonwhite voters across the entire country. [cheers and applause] he's number one with young voters, 18 to 35. [applause] 52%. that's amazing. he's also -- he also is -- the number one most admired senator in the united states senate, they polled all 50 states, and of the 100 senators, he has the highest approval rating of all 100 senators. amazing. [applause] he has the most volunteers. he has the most number of donors with the smallest amount of money. $18.50. and this morning, this really grabbed me. this morning, that the story said amongst our active duty military, those who serve this country, in all the armed forces, the cand

there are processes within the department of justice to determine who to investigate, who to prosecutesentencing is appropriate to serve the interest of justice. that's not a perfect process. it doesn't always produce faultless results but it's a process that is designed to be based on the interests of justice and not based on who is the president's friends and who are his political opponents. and so what happened in this case is that process produced this recommendation, seven to nine years, consistent with the sentencing guidelines. and what occurred here is that because that wasn't favorable to the president's political allies, and political friends, the department of justice reached in and changed the rules and overruled people below it. and that really is an incredibly dangerous development. and i think john is right. we should understand it as an assault on the rule of law. >> yet it was, you know, fascinating to hear the way that national security adviser robert o'brien defended the presidenty these actions. this after a number of republican senators have said over the last week

i loved, who i loved, and who made us proud and who would want us not to be ignored in the south carolina primary as we discuss this national race. that does it for me. thanks for watching. i'll see you back here next weekend at 5:00 p.m. eastern. like us on facebook.com/politics' nation, and follow us on twitte twitter @politicsnation. up next, "meet the press" with chuck todd. >>> this sunday, sanders surging. >> we have now won the nevada caucus. >> bernie sanders dominates nevada more than doubling his nearest competitor. >> no campaign has the grassroots movement like we do. which is another reason why we're going to win this election. >> joe biden appears headed for his best showing. >> i think we're in a position now to move out of the way that we haven't been until this moment. >> with democrats divided, the question now, can anyone stop sanders? my guests this morning jim clyburn of south carolina, where joe biden will be making a do-or-die stand. plus -- >>> are you trying to say i'm dumb? >> fear and loathing in las vegas. >> none of them accused me of doing anything other than

people who have been trafficked. people who are smuggling new benefiting from the in the u.s. in the human rights rule the world that i was in spoke out against work leaders in saying that we have to manage migration and instead what we see this too much fear mongering and in the migrants are automatically criminals there somehow a threat to us. underneath that, if you listen to some politicians there is this hidden layer of racism. anne: and it is anti, muslim, anti- for people essentially. poor people. one of the legitimate questions about immigration is who do we want to bring to the united states . up by the soul we are shut the door thing. we have a great story to tell about how immigrants in this country, have revitalized our country. so do we want to come. a legitimate question for us to look at is, under what circumstances. in the past, one of the things that was decided was to we had discrimination against parts of the worlds of the work changes to allow people to come from different parts of the world. i personally think you don't have to bring in high skilled people

we've got a president of the united states who's cozying up to the autocrat putin, who says nice things about kim jong-un. so you want to talk about cozying up to communists around the world and me, it is donald trump. >> let me ask you a few quotes from some members of congress who are concerned about your electability. here is amy barra, democrat in california. if bernie sanders is our nominee it will make a lot of those trump districts we picked up competitive. connor lamb, i don't think i'd be doing my job as a representative to these people in western pennsylvania if i supported someone who wanted to destroy their livelihood. specifically he's talking about fracking. whether fair or not, this is the concern out there the among a lot of elected democrats. >> this is part of the establishment democrats. what i am suggesting is that we are going to bring -- in 2016, and we'll see what happens in 2020, but i think the story will be the same. in a lot of districts which trump ended up winning, we won during the primary process. i think a lot of working people understand that trump is a

but who is?veryone in the democrat party right now is responsible for bernie sanders being in the lead. they all feed into their own hyper of the c. culture. everything is racist. everyone and everything is sexist. the rich are bad and everything should be free free free free free. a rational candidate is not allowed. you are not allowed to say -- well, maybe banks should only extend housing loans to people who can afford to pay them? if you do, that's racist. a loan application doesn't ask you to put your race on it. a rational candidate isn't say companies deserve the process they earned. but then you are pro business, not allowed. a rational candidate isn't say we can't afford free healthcare because that's what, anti-american? a rational candidate can't say we need borders. because then you are antiup grant. the democrats punched themselves right out of business. they have no candidate because they have no platform. they demonized egg that makes us what we are. we are dreamers, patriots, capi
