so, that was elizabeth warren last night responding to president trump s latest attacks. meanwhile the latest poll from iowa has warren nose-diving in the caucus state. tied for first place. two months ago. warren is now down four points in 11th place. joe biden, bernie sanders and pete buttigieg are in a statistical tie. buttigieg at 18%. a nine-point game for amy klobuchar has her hitting double digits for the first time at 12%. buttigieg performs best, 46 to 45. a statistical tie. trump leads biden by four points. sanders and warren by seven points. and pete buttigieg has released his client list for when he worked at the consulting firm mckinsey. among some of his clients, blue
you re seeing those four individuals pull away largely from the rest of the pack. and i want to take you back. you know, we drove up this morning from des moines ourselves, where the candidates spoke to more than 10,000 democrats inside of wells fargo arena in downtown des moines last night at the iowa democratic party s liberty and justice dinner. that was sort of the pinnacle event heading into these final three months before the iowa caucus on february 3rd. and there s one particular campaign i want to point out, which had a certain energy to it, not only last night, but we ve seen a growing presence, an activist presence on the ground. and you ve also seen his numbers essentially surge back up. and that would be the likes of pete buttigieg, who is beginning a couple-day road trip around the state of iowa and will be speaking at this fish fry. i want to let you hear, though, a little bit of pete buttigieg as well as elizabeth warren last night at that event in des moines. the purp
unbelievable. dana perino always asks questions. she is of course our colleague here at fox. she hosts the daily briefing. she s our go-to person for postdebate analysis. that was unbelievable. i hadn t seen the jay rosen and the sullivan piece. it s pretty remarkable. tucker: to admit that. i have got certain strong political opinions, very strong. i host a whole show based on them but as a journalist, which i actually am, it s impossible to imagine telling someone don t ask that question because it could help the other side. i mean, who thinks like that? partisans think like that. it s t not good. thanks for having me on. i love to talk about the debates. i think that warren found out that she s not the professor anymore. she doesn t like to be challenged. amy klobuchar and pete buttigieg basically said it s not fair for you to say that none ofet us hae courageous ideas. f they really went after her. you don t usually get that at harvard. you are the professor.
even a postdebate msnbc panel acknowledged as much. i thought she seemed a little petulant when she was being challenged. a little? a little. [laughter] as bernie sanders says, she just won t go there and she was pummeled for it. they attacked her and she was uncomfortable. she did not handle it very well. tucker: was it really that bad for elizabeth warren last night? we ll see. she definitely got better treatment than joe biden got. journalists don t like joe biden. biden has zero allies in america s woke newsrooms. warren has plenty of allies pretending to be journalists. this morning, nyu journalism professor, jay rosen, a guy whose name often pops up despite no talent whatsoever, demanded that reporters stop asking specific questions about warren s policies. again, a journalism professor telling you not to ask questions. the make elizabeth warren say she would raise taxes on the
you re going to pay for the most expensive plan, medicare for all. will you raise taxes on the middle class to pay for it, yes or no? i ve made clear what my principles are. that is, costs will go up for the wealthy and for big corporations. and for hardworking middle-class families, costs will go down. mayor buttigieg, you say senator warren has been evasive about. how she s going to pay for medicare for all. what s your response? we heard it tonight. d ayes or no question that didn t get a yes or no answer. tucker: save the tape. there are a lot of moments and debates that seem like a huge deal at the time. everyone is yapping about them but in the end, turned out to be completely meaningless. this is not one of those moments. health care is always at the top of voters concerns and so are taxes, for that matter. if elizabeth warren can t even t explain her own signature plan to rearrange the entire american health care system, she can t swin.
