We want to start off this hour by going back to dasha burns watching a spirited caucus process at kennedy elementary school. Whats going on now . Hey, rachel, a lot going on. Some unexpected turns. Last time we talked to you it was right after the first alignment and Warrens Group here did not reach viability. I have an update for you. Warren has reached viability. [ cheers ] they got two Amy Klobuchar folks and one from tom steyer. Pete buttigieg getting a lot though because amy [ cheers ] Amy Klobuchar did not reach viability. There were 27 people in her group and theyve split off. Mostly between buttigieg and biden so lets talk to a couple of these folks here. All right. You were with amy. Now youre with pete. Tell me what happened. Well, amy wasnt viable so i moved over to pete. Im kind of looking for someone a little more middle of the road but new. What about you . About the same. Yeah. What she said. All right, all right. What about in the biden camp, any Amy Klobuchar people in
And so again, were going to have a thorough and independent review of exactly what happened last night, we still right now, were in the process of making sure we get these results out. Thats what were going to stay focused on. Donald trump has suggested that this whole process is rigged. How do you assure americans that this is trustworthy, this data . We have said all along that we were going to make these caucuses the most transparent possible. Were reporting out more data than we ever have reported before. We have paper trails that weve never had before. And so were going to take the time we need to verify these results, but these results are based off what happened in the precincts last night. Were you feeling pressure to step aside . When i ran for chair, i made a commitment to see the caucus process through. That is what im working on, that is what i will continue to work on. Whatever happens after that, is to be determined. Thank you all, folks, the results are coming in. Well s
Long as they let me have it. But having been on the air this long, i can tell you even in these weird times, there is sort of a constant i can describe to you. One thing that has progressed steadily and without change since i have been doing this, and its this shift that has happened in the news environment in which we work. Its that our friends and colleagues in the conservative media over the years, they have become more and more their own thing. Like i said, ive been doing this for more than a decade. At the beginning of me doing this show, i think it was fair to think of our friends at the Fox News Channel and conservative talk radio and in other conservative media i think it was sort of fair at that time to think of at least most of them as our, like, legit professional rivals. They were people who were coming at the news from a very pronounced rightwing view, perhaps a very partisan proRepublican Party view, but at least we were all doing the same kind of work. At least we were a
Since i had been doing this. And its this shift that has happened in the news environment in which we work. Its that our friends and colleagues in the conservative media over the years, they have become more and more their own thing. Like i said, ive been doing this for more than a decade. At the beginning of me doing this show, i think it was fair to think of our friends at the fox news channel, and conservative talk radio and other conservative media, i think it was sort of fair at that time to think of at least most of them as our like legit professional rivals. They were people who were coming at the news from a very pronounced right wing view, perhaps a very partisan prorepublican party view, but at least we were all doing the same kind of work, at least we were all covering the same stuff. Thats how it started when i started doing this business. Started working in this business. But over this past decade or so, steadily, that has decreased. Year after year. To the point where now
More states to begin retracing their own timelines. At the same time, more states also moving towards the opposite direction, reopening, but is it with or without the president s support . Last night the president said that the georgia governors plan to open up businesses starting friday is just too soon. Were learning members of his task force had to convince him to change his view on that. All right, first, lets get more on this study, Elizabeth Cohen is with us. I thought we couldnt get more sort of jaw dropping than the headlines yesterday. And this is far beyond that. Right. Absolutely. And this is, i think this is this is something that we need to remember. This is something that many of us were asking folks, federal officials very early on, hey, is it possible that this is spreading more than what we think . I know i talked to one very prominent federal official and he said, no, i dont think thats the case. But lets take a look at this. Lets take a look at what the New York Time
