In South Carolina, which is a state thats important for all 2020 Democratic Candidates but particularly for joe biden who will be placing a lot of emphasis in this state where hes been a known political figure for quite some time. In his pitch he reminded voters of the times he served with barack obama in the white house and take a listen as he once again tried to make this a campaign, a fight between himself and President Trump. You all know in your bones that this election is more important than any one youve ever been engaged in. We have a president who encourages white supremacy, encourages dictator and goes around the world weakening our alliances. And our children are watching. Theyre watching. It matters what president s say and do. Barack obama they watched and emulated. They wanted to be like him. [ cheers and applause ] four more years of donald trump will permanently change the character of this country. We cant let that happen. We have to beat donald trump as the overwhelming period that we have. Reporter as you mentioned, biden raced through a list of policy proposals and unveiled new policy when comes to criminal Justice Reform, saying he wants to eliminate mandatory minimums and there should be no private prisons. But biden was one of 22 candidates who was here making their pitch to South Carolina voters, particularly black voters, which make up the majority of the democratic primary electorate and heading after this, theyre going to be heading down to that debate in miami where were going to see so many of them face off directly later this week. S. E. Arlette saenz. Its a long day. We appreciate all your reporting. It was a day of stump speeches lashing out at President Trump, some intra party barbs, some subtweet ing. But 22 of the 23 Democratic Candidates got their moment in the South Carolina sun today. So who made the most of it . Let me bring in former Senior Adviser to president obama david axelrod, Communications Director dug hyde and from the washington post, david ehrlich. The Biden Campaign really leaned into the segregationist controversy, not only by not apologizing but demanding booker apologize to biden. Now booker says no one needs to apologize. What do you make of his handling of it this week . His handling of it is more significant than the issue itself. Campaigns are replete with things that look decisive at the moment and dont become decisive. But what you see is a pattern that should be concerning, whether it was the Hyde Amendment or this we can using language he shouldnt have used and then stumbling around it for a while and then in each instance staff explaining they tried to tell him not to use the language, tried to tell him not to say it. All of these are warning signs for the biden candidacy. The two things i think are most troubling is that he has to overcome an impression, a, that his time has passed, that hes kind of living in the past and, b, that hes perhaps too old. And so these stumbles matter more for a candidate like biden than it would for another candidate. David swerlic, bidens leading in polls among africanamerican voters but his support is softer than Hillary Clintons and he recited old memories to bussing and friendships with dixiecrats. How important was this for him. Hes already got a lead generally and in National Polling and with black voters, as you say. He doesnt want that to shrink and lose ground to senator harris, senator brown, senator booker and others as we head into the cnn debates later this month. I dont know if he was so successful at that. That speech he gave just now was just sort of a pro forma speech, looked like he just wanted to get on and get off the stage rather than turn around to the audience and say, look, forget what youve heard, there is joe biden 2. 0. It seems like his campaign wants to coast a little on the idea hes affiliated with president obama, that people are comfortable with uncle joe and that may get him far but its going to be harder once people can attack him directly in debates. It seems to me like bidens by cry o c cryogenetically frozen. He could joke about the Hyde Amendment or getting too touchy feely with women. Were not in that place. That campaign is from another era. Why do you think no ones told him this . I think what weve seen is staff members, i am trying to do this, i am trying to fix this campaign. Were kind of in the first 20 minutes of austin powers right now. Heres a way that joe biden can make those same points and move forward, not remind everybody hes been in the senate for almost 50 years. He can talk about working on the violence against women act. Thats a bipartisan issue where republicans have struggled. He tried to bring kanter and republicans in. We had pretty good negotiations on that. He can talk about working with john mccain. It can set up biden to be back in the trump versus joe fight that always benefits him. Also, i think its been a mistake for biden to not give more interviews. Hes in essence starving the press, which means we only have these controversies to focus on. Should he give us more access . Wouldnt in wouldnt that only help him . I think hes going to have to. They played it very, very close to the vest, very little exposure, very little interaction with other candidates. I dont think youre going to get away with that from this point on. Were entering a new phase starting with the debates and i think hes going to have to show listen, for joe biden in my view, for him to be the nominee of this party, he has to show that hes up to it, that hes vigorous enough and that involves exposing yourself in ways he hasnt exposed himself yet. He has to pass this test. He is probably, as we sit here today, the candidate who is most likely to defeat donald trump if we were voting today, but he has an eightmonth exam or more than eight months ahead of him in which he has to prove he is vigorous enough and that he is not locked in the past but hes looking to the future. David swerlic, i thought turning to cory booker now, i thought he was really smart in his speech. It was very biblical. In a state like North Carolina where there are a lot of religion africanamerican voters that seemed intentional. Where king was slain, there are words, josephs brothers words that they uttered before they grabbed him and threw him into a ditch. These are the words that are written where king is displaying a challenge to us, obehold, her cometh the dreamer, let us slay him and see what becomes of the dream. He went on. Your thoughts on that approach here. There was a little bit of obama there. When he needed it, when he was campaigning in the south, when he was talking to particular audiences, africanamericans, southerners, he wanted to bring in the bible, he wanted to bring in that old time religion. I think what cory booker is trying to do there more than anything else is say that hes animated and hes ready in contrast to biden. Senator booker is an establishment, low boil, glass half full, lets all get along type of guy. In that speech there, i think he was signaling i got a little attention this week and im going to try to roll this into the debates with a little momentum. About what doug was saying a minute ago, the think the thing that the biden camp hasnt figured out or biden hasnt figured out, no one expects him to be cutting edge of a racial discourse. They do expect for him to be nimble and on his feet and he did not demonstrate that this week. We have another clip from biden where he was talking about criminal Justice Reform, it was a refrain we heard today from a lot of the candidates. Take a listen. Criminal Justice Reform. There are too many people in prison, too many black men and i might add black women in prison. Look, in our administration, we started to address the problem, reduced federal prisons by 38,000 people came out. We passed the Supportive SchoolDiscipline Initiative to break the schooltoprison pipeline, but we need to pass bobby scotts bobby scott from virginias safe justice act. Weve got to add a few things ive been proposing. No more mandatory minimums period. End private prisons, which we did in our bill period. There was a lot there, doug. Im just im wondering, though, this was okay, this was a speech. He will get questions about criminal Justice Reform. His role in where criminal Justice Reform is today will be asked at a debate. Do you think hes ready . I think hes trying to demonstrate that hes ready. He had a laundry list on a whole lot of topics, criminal Justice Reform being one of them. He has several things he can pivot to. The assault weapons ban, hes the only one who can say he had a part in it. Do you think biden should make a big Foreign Policy pivot given all of his experience there . I think thats a big thing for him going into this debate. He has a superior portfolio of experience on Foreign Policy, and one of the things that he will be selling is that i know this terrain, i know this turf, i know the world and. We need firm foot, especially after what we saw with the president last week, the tenminute drill with the president. So i think that that is an advantage for him, and he will raise it. You must say, Bernie Sanders is going to be standing next to him and hes going to say you have all this Foreign Policy experience and it led you to vote for the war in iraq and that was a terrible mistake. So he has to be a little bit sensitive to the comeback. David axelrod, always so grateful for your time and expertise. Doug and david, stay right there. When we come back, were going to talk about Bernie Sanders, in a fight for second place. Es it. The visionary lexus nx. Lease the 2019 nx 300 for 359 month for 36 months.

At citi, we empower people who are out to change the world. Because tomorrow belongs to those who welcome it with open arms. Citi. Welcome whats next i want to say a few words about an interesting event that was held in charleston earlier this week, sponsored by a National Organization called third way that represents the corporate wing of the democratic party. A group that receives a substantial amount of their support from wall street. At this third way meeting, i was called, quote, an existential threat to the democratic party. Now why am i an existential threat . Well, maybe its because my administration will finally take on the Insurance Companies and the Drug Companies and pass a medicare for all single payor program. Well, that was Bernie Sanders earlier today lobbying a grenade during his speech at the South Carolina democratic convention. Lets talk more about bernie and Elizabeth Warren and some others. My panel returns. Joining us is cofounder of third way, matthew bennett. Matthew, sanders lit into you guys today in South Carolina. We just played the sound. I want to get your response. Yeah, its not the first time. He came after us in a tweet earlier this week and wheent on chris cuomos show earlier this week. Heres the thing that senator sanders gets wrong. He thinks we think hes an existential threat to party because of what he would do as president. Thats not it. Hes an avowed democratic socialist and our fear is an avowed socialist just cannot beat trump. That is an existential threat to the republic. Hes trying to turn it around to make him sound sort of intimidating. But i think we know what you meant. But if im a democrat, i might be thinking, hey, we listened to the Center Left Establishment last time. They told to us vote for a deeply flawed establishment candidate because she was most electable because of bernie where a lot of the energy was. Why should voters trust what the center left is saying this time . A couple of things. First of all, we just had a big National Election in 2018 and the center left absolutely crushed republicans in house races, in governor races, even in a couple of senate races. Second thing is hillary was a flawed candidate. She did make some serious mistakes and she lost by 77,000 votes between three states. We just won those states in governors races by 1. 3 million votes with senator left gubernatorial candidates we have a blueprint for victory. Thats the one we ought to follow. David, bernies been quietly sinking in the polls while Elizabeth Warrens been rising. When asked about that earlier this week, he decided it was her gender, not her ideas were the problem. He said i think were running against a lot of problems, there are certain number of people who would like to see a woman elected. Turns out bernie really is a bro, maybe the original bernie bro. That really landed with a thud. Did that hurt him . That really landed with a thud and his comments on third way. He continues at the state convention to go after a think tank when what he can do is, a, push his sort of nordic style democratic socialism, make the best case he can for that, try and be update and not do have you met bernie . Fair. In a way, he did the same thing Vice President biden did. He used an awkward quote to make a point about race and civility that landed like a dud. These guys are going to have to go on their own merits. They arent the unicorns of donald trump and hillary clinton. I think matts right. I dont think socialism is a winning general election message. Im surprised its working in the primary. There doesnt seem to be a democrat in this field who is willing to run as a real moderate. So why not . I think they see where the party is and how the party shifted. This is why biden shifted on the Hyde Amendment. Safe, rare and legal for abortion used to be very safe space for democrats in a general election. Its a very unsafe place for the democrats in a primary. Every time nancy pelosi calls Mitch Mcconnell the grim reaper, team oconnor goes ching ching. Can i disagree with you a little bit about the moderates, s. E. . You have sanders a declared socialist, Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg are progressives. I think of senator harris, Vice President biden and congressman orourke as moderates. In what way . Name a policy. Theyve tagged left on a number of issues because, as you say, the party is moving that way. Name a policy that can appeal to blue collar voters in ohio. That Kamala Harris supports. That Kamala Harris supports . Yes. In what way is she a moderate . Shes a former prosecutor. So . Shes a former prosecutor. In that first town hall she did with jake tapper, she got a little ahead of her skis saying medicare for all, lets just pay for everything. Since then she has tried to dial that back. Thats popular. Im not i dont buy this. Matt, id love your opinion on this. I feel like and i said this, you know, last week, i feel like moderate has just become a catch phrase to describe someone who can talk to blue collar voters without offending them. And it really has nothing to do with policy. It doesnt have a whole lot to do with ideas. Its really more of like a tone thing. Well, i think that may be right. We live in a world in which donald trump has upended politics so thoroughly that there really isnt a continuum among right and left like there used to be and divisions that existed in the 90s dont exist anymore among things like social issues. And there is a big division. Its one of the reasons that sanders is going after us, the difference between running as a democratic socialist and democratic socialist ideas, like medicare for all, and people who arent. The mainstream candidates running at democratic capitalists who believe capitalism is broken and needs to be repaired, those are the peoplebyi people beating trump. Doug, matts making a point that Elizabeth Warren has a better chance of beating trump than Bernie Sanders. I think republicans would much rather face Elizabeth Warren than Bernie Sanders. What do you think . I think theyd be happy with either choice, if they could pick out of their two or three top choices it would be them. It seems to be more personal with warren. Warren when she made her comment of you didnt create that business, you didnt build that, that spoke directly to republicans and why they run, why they work in republican politics and thats everything they stand against. Its personal with Elizabeth Warren. And then you have the native american issue. Oh, i remember. Could talk for hours. Thank you all of us for joining us. That was a great, great conversation. Lets do it again sometime. All right. Another week, another candidate of the week joins me. Stay tuned to find out next. With numbers. So, i started with the stats regarding my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Like how humira has been prescribed to over 300,000 patients. And how many patients saw clear or almost clear skin in just 4 months the kind of clearance that can last. Humira targets and blocks a specific source of inflammation that contributes to symptoms. Numbers are great. And seeing clearer skin is pretty awesome, too. Thats what i call a body of proof. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Want more proof . Ask your dermatologist about humira. This is my body of proof. Its kind of unfair that safe drivers have to pay as much for insurance. As not safe drivers ah that was a stunt driver. Thats why esurance has this drivesense® app. The safer you drive, the more you save. Dont worry, im not using my phone and talking to a camera while driving. Im being towed. By the way, im actually a safe driver. Im just pretending to be a not safe driver. Cool. Bye dennis quaid when insurance is affordable, its surprisingly painless. But prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered. In jellyfish. In clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve shortterm memory. Prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Hi, do you have a travel card . We do the discover it® miles card.

Well match em at the end of your first year. Plus no annual fee or blackouts. The discover it® miles card. Bernie sanders may have popularized democratic socialism, but hes not the only candidate talking about it. One, in fact, is putting it squarely in the cross hairs, telling other democrats that socialism will not beat donald trump. Socialism is not the answer. I was reelected i was reelected in a purple state in 2014, one of the worst years for democrats in a quarter century. Today Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper made a similar sort of argument in South Carolina. Listen. We need a dreamer and a doer. We need a progressive and a pragmatist. Now being a pragmatist doesnt mean saying no to big ideas. Being a pragmatist means figuring out how to get them done. Governor hickenlooper is my candidate of the week. He joins me now. Welcome to the program. Glad to be on. Thanks for having me. So youve begun to carve out a very interesting niche for yourself, the antisocialism candidate. I said earlier i dont think socialism is a winning general election message at all, but im not a progressive democrat. Do you think you can survive this primary by, you know, sort of casting your target, your focus on socialism . Yeah, i think that i actually if you look at what weve done in colorado, right, weve got to near universal health care, we beat the nra with some tough new gun laws and were the number one economy in the country for the last three years. We did all this without a massive expansion of government. We did it by bringing businesses and nonprofits together. We brought democrats and republicans together and i think thats the message. As a Small Business person and entrepreneur, we took that kind of scrappy spirit into achieving progressive goals but without having to have big government. So for people who arent familiar, just to be real clear, is your aversion to socialism about electability or is it really an economic aversion . Well, i this i both. I mean, i think in terms of ele electability, republicans will call us socialists and that is if we dont fight back and clearly say we are not socialists, thats going to make an election in 2020 much harder. And i also would argue that socialism doesnt work. Its not the successful way of solving the real challenges we face. If were going to address not just universal health care and achieving that, making sure that health care is a right and not a privilege, but actually controlling the inflation of health care, were going to need to bring businesses and nonprofits together, the same thing i was talking about before, republicans and democrats, its got to be joined in together. The same thing with climate change. Any of the big challenges, we need to be working to the. Listen, youre preaching to the quite with me. I think massive expansions of government are both unelectable and problematic. You said this week youd immediately give 11 million Illegal Immigrants a tenyear visa so they can live and work out of the shadows. I agree. Thats a huge priority. But how would that encourage anyone to immigrate here legally if youre giving out visas and Bernie Sanders is giving out Health Insurance . Well, thats a double two different issues really but i can see how they can come into violent conflict. You know, making sure that the people that are here illegally get a tenyear visa and take down that anxiety, this is a key point in history because weve got Something Like 7. 5 million unfilled skilled jobs and only about 6. 3, 6. 4 Million People looking. So we dont have enough workers, even with those undocumented workers here in the country. And the vast majority, 90some percent are working. So we cant afford to lose those workers. So why not give them a tenyear visa and let them go to work. And if they commit violent crimes, we deport them. This is political chicanery for President Trump to say we deport all these people. It would wreak havoc in our entire economic system. Maybe he knows that. There was a lastminute reprieve on some of those i. C. E. Raids. Well see what happens in congress over the next few days. Governor john hickenlooper, thanks so much for being here tonight. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Up next, the president calls off a strike on iran after he ordered it.

In the red file tonight, tempering tensions in iran after the president pulled air strikes minutes before they were scheduled to go. Heres what he said today. Everybody was saying im a warmongerer, and now they say im a dove. And i think im neither you want to know the truth. Im a man with common sense, and thats what we need in this country is common sense. But i didnt like the idea of them knowingly shooting down an unmanned drone and then we kill 150 people. I didnt like that. Theres been mixed reactions to trumps missed messages on iran from, well, everyone. Some are calling him weak, some are praising his restraint. Whats next . With us is admiral john kirby. You remember as well as anyone the reaction to obamas, well, abandonment of red lines in syria. Some are comparing trumps decision to call off the strikes to obama. Is that fair . I think to the degree that it talks about the further erosion of american credibility on the world stage, particularly with potential adversaries, yeah, i think thats a comparison and i understand that. There are some key differences. Number one, obama actually made a very public red line and then walked back from it. Trump didnt actually lay down a red line that the iranians crossed. Pompeo said a red line would be if they killed american troops. They didnt. They walked right up to that line and shooting down a drone. Theyre poking trump without actually crossing it. Obama said he wanted to postpone the strike to seek legislate of approval for further actions there and in the future, and it was all about Getting Congress on board. I dont see any indication that trump cares one way or the other whether he needed legislative support for what he was trying to do. And, lastly, this is a crisis of trumps own making. Obama was reacting to, as the world was reacting to because the brits wanted to react, too, to serious violation of international law, gassing their own people. This is a crisis of trumps own making. He is responsible for the escalation of the tensions were seeing right now. Obama was able to secure diplomatic success as a result of the whaalking back from the redline. The russians came in and we got most of the chemical weapons out of syria. Thank you. That was really interesting points and you were uniquely positioned to make them. I appreciate it. So trump tweeted today about major additional sanctions on iran on monday. Is that the next logical step from your point of view . I think its the next step this administration intends to pursue. Pompeo just released a statement within the hour basically saying economic pressure is going to continue. What worries me is this maximum Pressure Campaign they keep talking about is just not working. Theres no end case that additional sanctions are going to bring iran to its kneeknees. Yes, the economy is in trouble but theyll trouble push through this. The maximum Pressure Campaign has only exacerbated irans behavior. What i worry about is not just the next step but the next ten or 15 steps. Wheres the longterm strategy here . We have reports that trump was influenced in this last event by fox news host Tucker Carlsons private advice to not attack and also that the president is actively ignoring National Security adviser john bolton, whom, by the way, carlson called a bureaucratic tape worm and trump called him today definitely hawk. It would seem untenable to try to craft a coherent Foreign Policy while the president is letting Television Hosts usurp his own advisers publicly. Its not uncommon for president s to have kitchen cabinets. This one has a cable cabinet and he listens to them. On one hand i totally agree with you that it is a very difficult thing for external advisers to be getting in the way of those accountable for the advice theyre giving. If its true tucker walked him off of that, i applaud talk uck person what worries me more is the utter dysfunction inside the policy making process inside this administration. There is no cohesive iranian Foreign Policy. Y theres no strategic coherence. They say they dont want war but everything that theyre doing is walking up closer to war. It seems like aside from sanctions all theyre looking at are military options. Im worried more about the dysfunctions inside the lifelines, not outside. Admiral kirby, thanks so much as always. I appreciate. You bet. Next, i get to geek out with brilliant m. I. T. Scientist about going to the moon and matt damon. What . Sit tight. The bed is huge. Rdy. It has available led cargo area lighting. Lights up the entire bed. It even offers a built in 120 volt outlet. Wow. Plug that in for me. Whoa holy smokes oh wow and the all new silverado has more trim levels than any other pickup. Whoa oh wow very cool. Theres something for all of us. Absolutely. Its time to upgrade. laughter not this john smith. Or this john smith. Or any of the other hundreds of john smiths that are humana Medicare Advantage members. No, its this john smith. Who we paired with a humana team member to help address his own specific health needs. At humana, we take a personal approach to your health, to provide care thats just as unique as you are. No matter what your name is. No matter what your name is. Dont get mad. Get e trade, dawg. People, our sales now appla new low 10 frames. At visionworks, our sales are good on over 500 frames. Why are you so weird . See great with 2 complete pairs for 59. Really. Visionworks. See the difference. Next month will mark the 50th anniversary of the lunar landing, apollo 11, but there have been celebrations all year, apollo paloozas. Cnn is airing an incredible doc tomorrow night, apollo 11. You will want to see it. I had the honor of meeting a top panelist of women scientists. One of them was the first woman to lead a nasa spacecraft mission, the first woman to lead a Science Department at mit where she currently serves as Vice President for research. Shes been involved in more than half a dozen nasa planetary missions. Shes even got a star named after her. Im thrilled to have you on the program. S. E. , thank you for having me. Lets talk about this anniversary of the moon landing. What did that moment to you as a young girl . So i was very young when that happened. I got to stay up late to watch the first steps on the moon. And i was already hooked on space science. I started at a very, very young age, but it changed my life. And it just it just made me realize what was possible when you dream big. Well, theres some debate now, as there was after 11, about whether we need to go back to the moon. What do you think . Is that imperative or should we sort of look elsewhere . So there is a great deal to be learned about the moon in its own right. Our studies using the moon rocks, which are continuing today, have really revolutionized our understanding not only of the moon but of the early history of earth at the time when life first emerged and also taught us a great deal about the solar system, how the solar system formed. And theres a great deal more to be learned about that. But the moon is also important as a weigh station. I think we all agree that mars ought to be our next destination, but there are so many things that have to be tested to have a successful mission. And being three days away at the moon is theres a lot to be said for that because once you start on the path of going to mars, youre gone for a couple years. Yeah. Well, senators are now getting classified briefings on unos, which is really exciting i think. Do you think well know whether theres life out there in our lifetimes . Yeah. Actually, ive asked to be briefed on those but that hasnt come to pass yet. There are so many discoveries of planets around other stars and including planets in our what ill call our own solar system neighborhood, but planets far beyond that. There are so many galaxies. Now were seeing that most stars in our neighborhood have planets, so its likely that most stars in other places have planets as well. And just given the probabilities, the only difference between say a rock and a life form is that a life form can feed itself and reproduce. So it seems kind of unlikely that the conditions that would allow that to happen only happened on this single planet. So im a believer that there is life in other places and we certainly out to be looking for it. Well, i asked you this earlier, your favorite space movie. You said it was the martian because it was one of the most realistic except for two things. What were those . The two things well, the two major things in the martian that were shortcoming, the first was they didnt treat the matter of radiation. One needs to shield for radiation and they didnt talk about that at all. It was just an assumption that it was done, but its certainly a major be and the other one is that the the atmospheric pressure at the surface of mars is 6 millibars or its the altitude that spy planes fly. When the win blows its not blowing over a rocket. And so, you know, when i talked to matt damon after graduation he said but maria we needed something to strand me there. Thats artistic license, right, for you doctor, thank you for coming on. I really appreciate it. Thank you be sub s. E. Dont forget to watch the cnn film apollo 11 tomorrow night at 9 eastern. Ill be right back. Freedom is the ability to go where you wanna go. And do what you wanna do. So. What do you wanna do . The 2019 jeep compass. Roam free. Since my dvt blood clot i was thinking. Could there be another around the corner . Or could it turn out differently . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another.
