Candidate, Tulsi Gabbard will be here, a race where 24 delegates in New Hampshire versus 41 in iowa, keep in mind you need 1,990 to win, this is a very early in the process sort of thing that we have going on here to put that in perspective and the numbers, guys, we have a very long way to go, now, a lot of attention being focused on the debate last night, who got the better part of that, whether the list of participants was fairly allotted, we will get that with congresswoman gabbard. In New Hampshire they are defining issues that in the last 72 hours, this state that is notoriously for swinging wildly in polls seem to be stone, no way of knowing what will happen in the next 3 days. Ellison following the candidates there, ellison. Hey, neil, candidates are speaking at a forum focused on womens right, reproductive rights and that impacts courts, we heard former mayor pete speak first and andrew yang; tom steyer addressing the crowd, we expect to hear from eight 2020 hopefuls, mayor pete appears to be rising in the polls, New Hampshire tracking poll, likely New Hampshire democratic primary voter comes out every 2 days, Pete Buttigieg is narrowly leading the back with 25 respondents is leading as chief rival senator Bernie Sanders holding steadyia yours steadt 24 . How do you explain the risk in black arrests in south bend under your leadership for Marijuana Possession . [applause] the overall race was lower. No, there was an increase. Is that a substantial answer from mayor Pete Buttigieg . No. We have to have medicare for all but bernie says, he says he wrote the damn thing and unwilling to say what the damn thing is going to cost. Sanders Campaign Says they raised 25 million in january and plan to make a 5. 5 million ad buy in 10 states ahead of super tuesday, the Pete ButtigiegCampaign Said they raised 2. 7 million since the iowa caucus but warren supporters, they are being massively outraised by the sanders campaign, neil. Neil ellison, thank you very much, a lot of the attention seems to be still on what happened in iowa and more to the point what didnt happen in iowa, weve got all 100 precincts now reporting but news organizations are still having a tough time declaring a winner considering too close to call between mayor Pete Buttigieg and of course, senator Bernie Sanders. The fallout from that where they are not only looking to take the head of the guy who heads the Iowa Democratic party but maybe the guy who heads the national one as well. Mike tobi in with the latest. Hey, there neil, campaigns have a deadline of noon today to submit any inconsistencies. Sanders campaign have flagged some problems but likely campaigns moved onto New Hampshire and trying to leave iowa ms. Behind. Iowa caucuses do have osseter of dnc tom perez, reportedly he provided little communication ahead of iowa meltdown and quick to jump on twitter and jump on the air to criticize the people working on the ground. The Iowa Democratic party runs the caucus, okay, and they what happened was unacceptable at the same time we came in there, we want to make sure that everything is right and we at the Democratic National committee, this was unacceptable. Chairman of iowa pushed back only when perez demanded rerecanvassing, when it came time to defend his work or his stat, he did not engage the fight. Ive been proud to work with proud of partnership with dnc, we continue, you know, throughout this process and thats all im going to say. He had not personally tried ahead of the big night. Thus far the two out in front Pete Buttigieg and sanders are show nothing sign of rere rerecanvassing, neil. Neil a lot of candidates will be doing that including my next guest, the hawaii democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Good to see you. Neil a lot of people think even tom perez, head of Democratic National committee, he should go first we need to find out the problems, the things that went wrong are disservice for voters no iowa who went and spent their time so voices can be heard and voices have not been heard in clear way, whether its the iowa caucus chair working in concert with the dnc chair they would proactively themselves want to make sure that those results are accurately count today best serve the residents of iowa. Neil you know, as you know, iowa holds a unique position of the first in the nation contest, do you think it should have that 4 years from now . Thats up to the states to decide, the states determine when they hold their primary elections, what ive been advocating for now for years are some very key reforms to our democratic primaries, i think they should be open primaries, i think they should allow sameday registration so you dont have people in new york, for example, who if they didnt register, 5 months before election day, they cant go and vote, and i think we need to get rid of super delegates, once again, this is continuing to be an issue of concern to voters here in New Hampshire who are worried about their vote actually being counted and how they dont want it to be overruled by a small group of individuals who can come in and say, you know what, i dont think you guys know what youre doing, we will come in neil since emergence of Bernie Sanders as possible nominee, they are revisiting the rule in place now that super delegates cant vote on the first ballot. If they do that, change that, what do you think . The issue is i think moving it back from the first ballot to second ballot was a very small step in the right direction but i want to be clear, we have to get rid of super delegates altogether and the change was not anywhere near enough once again to make sure that democrats are standing by the decision that voters make on who our democratic nominee will be. Neil open primary, not just anyone at any party, if that were the math, you would pull a lot better because conservatives are drawn to you, independents are drawn to you but in some of the rules you are between rock and hard place. This is bigger its not about me or my campaign, its something that ive been calling for for years since 2016 primary elections where i saw and met with people who are democrat, who are independents here in New Hampshire, undeclared and who want to make sure that their voice is heard, we need to make it as easy and accessible as possible for people to go and participate in our democracy. Neil how do you feel, arent able to participate in the debate last night and recently made rules in the party to all but grief the skits for Mike Bloomberg to be be able to debate. Its wrong, the fact that a billionaire can come in and have that kind of influence to change rules of dnc, all of a sudden not coincidentally to benefit mike al bloomberg while voters in New Hampshire and across the country, hey, we want to make the best informed decision as possible before we cast our vote understanding the seriousness of the election and they are not able to do so so long as dnc and partners are enacting the rules and they are playing favorites, they are picking voters and losers before voters have an opportunity to do. Neil do you think that youre an odd women, going after Hillary Clinton, suing Hillary Clinton for saying youre agent of the russians and all of that, the process they used that its an uphill battle for you . Of course. Its how you determine what the tide is, if youre looking at the powerful elite in washington, absolutely, i and so many people across the country are challenging the power elite who have shown they are not work forking the best interest of the people. So we are calling for the truth, we are calling for a straightforward process for vote toaster make sure that their voices are heard in this demarco and so that we can actually have a government thats of by and for the people and not power elite in washington. Neil youre up against a fundraising disadvantaged, i was noticed in this case tom steyer has spent 14 and a half million including New Hampshire and surrounding media markets, Michael Bloomberg not focusing on the state 6. 2 million, youre at 390,000. We are at a disadvantage. I will take the opportunity now to ask your viewers if you like to contribute to my campaign, go to tulsi2020. Com, im focused on directing my message to voters. Neil could you accept any of the candidates im focused on im focused on winning. Neil im sure you are, you dont join the camp that says a socialist and Bernie Sanders is the nominee, political suicide . No, i dont. I dont believe that. What i believe and what i hear from voters here is that they want a new generation of leadership, but they also want someone who has experience, experience to walk in on day one prepared to lead and to serve as commander in chief of our armed forces and experience to be able to work with congress to be actually be able to get things done, to solve problems and what i bring to the table is experience in those areas, having served at the federal, state and local levels, serving in congress for 7, going on 8 years and having served in the military for 17 years and deploying twice to the middle east, able to bring people together, heal the divides in our country where while we can agree to disagree on certain issues, even strongly, we stand together motivate bid this love for our country and understanding that when we stand and work side by side as americans, we can accomplish anything. Neil you know, the president yesterday as you probably know congresswoman fired Gordon Sondland, and Alexander Vindman top security official, another people friday night massacre, what Richard Nixon did back in the 70s, do you agree with that . I disagree with so many of trumps decision especially Foreign Policy and ive been outspoken in the area, ultimately whether people like it or not there are consequences to elections and the president has within his purview to make the decisions about who he like serving in his cabinet. Neil thank you very much. Good to see you, neil. 72 hours. Neil all right, Tulsi Gabbard, thank you very much, in the meantime interesting poll, how do you feel about your life and how you are doing, how your kids are doing, you future, 90 of americans say they feel pretty good, does that translate into a big advantage to donald trump, after this.

We are making our country stronger than ever before, we are doing numbers that you wouldnt believe, nobody would have thought it was possible. This morning the brandnew jobs numbers came in, we smashed expectations an created 225,000 new jobs last month. [cheers and applause] neil indeed, that was off the chart better than most expected, 225,000 new jobs to kick off decade with something and seen coming, Unemployment Rate itself, hoovering at century lows 3. 6 , so the president has that along with pretty good markets going for him, yesterday not withstanding the markets are in and out of record territory, nevertheless, you have the backdrop of a number of Consumer Sentiment surveys but this one caught my attention, the number of americans who feel good about themselves, their kids, their future, it has never been this high, 9 out of 10 of us are getty, so does that translate into a goodwin of the president s back, lets get the read from steven, Republican Party chairman. Thank you so much, welcome to the granite state. Neil beautiful state at that, you get snow now and then. We do. [laughter] neil you were telling me in the break that you were the first to endorse donald trump . Back in 2016, made announcement in new york, got in a plane for up to Manchester Community college and i introduced and endorsed him and maybe the first elected official in the country neil what did you see as opposed to other other elected officials . It was pretty unique. I looked at it and said, hes a business person, hes out of the box and we need a change, back in 08 i was the cochair for the Giuliani Campaign and there were a lot of great politicians, but they were politicians, a lot of great people and politicians and making making the same political promises that everyone else had and he was completely different and i said, im going to go with this and quite frankly a lot of people thought i was crazy, in fact, a couple of colleagues sent me cards for psychiatrists saying i needed help. Neil one of the things you mentioned was giuliani that in retrospect was not a good strategy, he put a lot of the eggs in post New Hampshire basket, florida, certainly New Hampshire, thats the tack that other candidates like even joe biden have been talking about and still a Winning Strategy but with the exception of bill clinton on the democratic side in 92 lost New Hampshire and also lost iowa, it feels like for the republicans its not a Winning Strategy, what do you think . I think it was a disaster for mayor giuliani, we advised strongly against that and he had the strategy and i will always remember senator mccain ran out of money and there was a picture, he came down the escalator in Manchester Airport with just his suitcase, no staff, got a hotel room here and did 200some odd town halls and won in New Hampshire and went onto win nationally with virtually no money. Neil amazing, i remember very well and he pressed the flesh everywhere. A lot of people look now at what happened at iowa, at the caucuses, im sure youre away, on the republican side, democratic side, do you think they should be first in the nation . That will be up to parties to decide, i can tell you that in New Hampshire we know how to do it, weve done it for 1020 years, we will do it for another 1020 years. The big difference between iowa and New Hampshire the fact that New Hampshire is run by the state and i was just at a meeting yesterday with the attorney generals office. Neil the Democratic Party calls the shots, right . The democrat and or Republican Party decides, but here in New Hampshire, the state runs it. Let me get your take of the backdrop. I think its unbeatable and economy is roaring both here in New Hampshire and nationally and we have a great republican governor who is working hand in hand with our president to make this happened. Neil thank you, we will be talking to that republican governor momentarily, be well, try to be warm. In here its okay. Yes. Neil we have a lot more coming up, including what is happening as the candidates crisscross all over the state, its a quest for delegates as you know, in New Hampshire they have 24 of them n iowa they have 41, you need 1,990 to win, that i cannot emphasize that enough, something is sealed or not sealed based on two first states out the gate, do the math, its early, its very, very early. More after this. Neil welcome, everybody, from the granite state, they hope to and are promising a far Better Process than what happened in iowa with the caucuses, we will see on tuesday, for now the nation and much to have world still focused on coronavirus that is not ending, right now accelerating at anywhere from 10 to 14 extra cases each and every single day, we have already close to 3,000 more cases than we did just yesterday and we are hovering 34,500 cases as of today. Lucas thompson following all of this for us. The 60yearold american died at hospital in wuhan, china, epicenter of the outbreak according to u. S. Embassy in 86 new deaths have been reported, as you mentioned, neil, 3400 new cases to have virus, people have died in china out of more than 34,000 cases, on friday President Trump praised chinas efforts to combat the virus. A very good talk with president xi and we talked about mostly about the coronavirus, they are working really hard and i think they are doing a very professional job, we are working together but world health is working with them, cdc is working with them. Head of Infectious Disease says china is actually underreporting the numbers. I think there are more infections there than we are seeing being reported, the thing that we would like to do and we have been asking this for some time is to become part of the who team that goes to china thus far we have not been able to do that. Its been 4 days since cruise ship in japan quarantined passengers including hundreds of american, dozens on board have become ill, in ne
