Andrew yang supporters are speaking out after the dnc denied his request for more qualifying polls for the next democratic debate. Garrett tenney has more on yangs argument just weeks away from the first caucus. Good morning. These debates are getting harder and harder to qualify for. Andrew yang met the fundraising requirements for the debate but only met one of the 5 pulling requirements for the 4 poles that are required. Yangs campaign argues there has been almost no qualifying polls since the last debate on the server 19th but the dnc says it has been more than inclusive through this entire process with expansive list of qualifying polls including 26 poles for the december debate more than half of which were state polls. The dnc saying we can do nothing about it seems disingenuous because they can clearly reach out any of the approved polling organizations, send out for a poll to be conducted and give a timeline. Show biden is qualified for the next debate and on monday said he would be willing to pick a republican as his running mate with one caveat. The answer is i would but i cant think of one right now.

Another candidate Tulsi Gabbard argued it will be harder for democrats to keep control of the house and defeat donald trump as a result of the push for impeachment.

About 24 floors off the ground, just after 6 00 pm this will raise all the way up this tower and as we have seen all our lives just before midnight it starts slowly coming back down. About 12,000 pounds, a massive ball, 12 feet in diameter and as you said about 1 Million People will crowd into time square to see it. What is the forecast going to be like . Took the forecast graphics for the entire country and see what our new years eve is going to look like. Here in time square, only about 40 . This is as pleasant a ball drop as you can get the winds at times getting to 15, 20 mph but the real good news, completely dry and for folks across the entire country and we will look at that next the forecast is looking really good, temperatures may be in the planes, the midwest getting a little on the call side but by and large, no big snowstorms or rainstorms, we are looking at a fantastic forecast across the country which is really good news, and good news for the Million People are going to be here and as i toss it back to you, not just to Million People will be in time square but 1 Million People watching on tv around the world so my goal for the next 5 hours is not to break this thing. I just flipped the switch, dont break this thing between now and then. I will have a lot of people mad at me. Thank you so much. We will check back with you. It is 11 minutes after the top of the hour and a knife attack at a Hanukkah Party the latest in a string of antisemitic attacks across the us. Why is this happening. Our next guest says it goes back to tolerating violence against israel. Carrie underwood calling it quits, big news from the country superstar for the new year. As new york reels from the antisemitic terror attacks americans are left with the jarring reminder these incidents have been skyrocketing across the country and jewish communities are left plagued with theories leaders try to curb the violence. To pinpoint what is to blame, the founder of the Exodus Movement joins me to talk about it now. Lets bring up the number from the national antisemitic hate crime incidents as of december 29th, there are 1447 and one of the statistics we were discussing is the amount of antisemitic attacks is increased 21 over the past year. Why do you think that is . We live in some really polarized times. People around the country feel it and historically speaking when a country goes through this people look for a scapegoat. Often that is the jewish people and it is very unfortunate. In the one country we thought this history would not repeat itself it has. Also 2tier family history. In the soviet union, to escape the antisemitism i am seeing with my eyes right now. Heather talk about this group you have organized. I started the Exodus Movement to empower jewish americans, so many people around the country feel they dont have the courage to vote who they want to vote for, they feel they are endowed to the Democratic Party like a lot of minority groups. Another party supporting them, has done Amazing Things for them in israel and theres another option. Heather we heard a lot of blame being thrown at donald trump from bill diblasio. There will always be blame going around, people are getting stabbed in their own homes. I wish people would come together to come up with a solution before more people get hurt. Shannon we talked about the number of attacks that have happened. If you take a look just from december 23rd the latest attack as you mentioned, 5 people stabbed and this is on hanukkah so the festival of light was supposed to be one of the happiest times of the year for jewish people, wheezing antisemitic attacks capitalist every single day. The discrepancy in the reactions are also something else, you mentioned giving democrats another option and making sure they know what this president stands for, the democrats failed to condemn several instances antisemitism this year. We will bring up a couple examples from people at home, we had one, omar on february 11th, ilhan omar talking about Benjamin Netanyahu and Rashida Tlaib on january 6th saying they forgot what country they represent, this is the us where boycotting is a right. This is the party of truman and kennedy. They forgot who supported them in the first place, forgot everything basted for, forgot the reason people like my parents came to this country, looking for getting so many people in the process. What do we need to do . Come together, realize this is an actual emergency and if we dont stop, more people will get hurt. People can find you online. Thank you so much for joining us, appreciate it.
