Thank you for joining us. pete buttigieg is surging in the polls and getting more scrutiny. you say him in that news conference doesn t want to talk about the why he is won t up his fund-raisers to the public and the media. what is your take on that? i think what we see going on here is that pete buttigieg has already hit a bit of a rough patch when it comes to who is raising money for him and bundling money for him and holding fund-raisers and where he is showing up. he had to give some money back. a city attorney who was involved in a very controversial police killing case involving laquan mcdonald in chicago and it turned out that one of the people who cohosted a big fund-raiser for him was involved in that case in a very negative way. pete buttigieg didn t want to sort of be in bed on that issue so, he sort of returned the money and said, it wouldn t happen again. but, of course, it raises the question if he is going around doing these fund-raisers, who else might be sponsoring h
Congressman beto o rourke who dropped out making that announcement just a few hours before that celebration last night in des moines of 13,000 people. my sources are telling me this was an issue of fund-raising. he was known to be a big fund raiser, raised $80 million in his run against ted cruz. had a very big day on fund-raising. but after that didn t see the numbers that they expected to see play out as a result fund-raising being a big factor in him dropping out of the race and saying he will continue to advocate for gun reform in his future and doesn t plan right now anyway according to my sources to make a run for the senate in texas. ana? i got to wonder if people are there showing up for this event because of the candidates or because of the fish and the menu item. that fish fry sure sounds good. this is a quintessential
all right. welcome back, everybody. neil cavuto reporting. a beautiful day in midtown manhattan. we re going to do all our shows outside, i made an exception snowing in the winter which can be a different environment. back with the republican strategist, big fundraiser, nate lerner on the left and left circles here and noel, this argument that nothing is go eth done and gridlock, we talked about that, how wall street likes that and all. normally i could subscribe, i get wall street and no more spending, but if there are issues, a two-year budget plans that looked so hopeful earlier this week and now not looking that way, that s not good. and i can t imagine that s good for either party. it s not good, especially with republicans, the whole reason i m a republican is mainly because we re conservative when it comes to
Judiciously use american might and we don t do foreign policy by tweet. i think we need less chaos and more reasoned leadership, which is why i m running for president. reporter: vermont senator bernie sanders video today highlighting his record of burlington mayor ahead of his home state kickoff rally tomorrow. i don t think this revolution is going to happen overnight. reporter: as his support has slipped in some recent polls, sanders is also calling out the front-runner in an email, saying biden s fund-raising efforts are not grassroots events, adding, he needs more donations if, quote, we have any chance of catching up. reporter: and that email not really changing the vice president s ways. he has another big fund-raiser, much like the ones he s already held. this one coming up june 5th in massachusetts. leyla santiago, covering the candidates for us. everyone, take a look at this fund-raising email from senator
Are they still back on their heels? have they yet to react on the state of the union politics? no, incredibly we re more than 15 hours now since nancy pelosi issued that letter, really unexpectedly, surprising the white house, and we have yet to hear any reaction from anyone in that building. not a single tweet from the president. the only response we ve heard is from the homeland security secretary pushing back against the idea that the secret service and dhs are not prepared to host the speech and saying that in fact they would have able to provide security for that to happen. the president of course can still choose to deliver a speech somewhere else, not in front of a joint session of congress. this has been the tradition now for decades. you know, can decide to hold it somewhere on the white house property. he could decide to hold a rally somewhere, which is something he did back during the campaign when he chose not to participate in one of the iowa debates and instead he held
