this is what people are tweetig all about bernie sanders and they're such rabid bernie sanders fans because he's got this passion to take it to the billionaires. >> yeah, i just -- you know, ax, you and i have had this debate before about whether bernie needs to start taking hillary on a little more decisively, and i just don't understand. hillary has through herself and surrogates at one time or another on the campaign trail, you know, she had joaquin castro saying he doesn't care about the hispanic community. she kind of alleged that he was sexist for saying she was shouting about guns. she had chelsea talking about how he wanted to dismantle health care, which i know you thought was the wrong tone. between the racism and the sexism and the -- he's a gun toter and he hates medicare, between all of that -- >> but she means it in a nice way. >> don't you think bernie sanders needs to say enough with this, have you no sense of decency -- >> hillary clinton is blessed with an opponent who doesn't want to go full throttle -- >> that's his appeal. >> -- against her. and that is part of

bernie sanders is at 11%. that is a big gaping difference. that explains why the clinton campaign is looking past iowa and new hampshire. two of the whitest states in the country. >> exactly. that is the hillary clinton campaign argument. iowa and new hampshire are set upper effe perfectly for sander. the clinton campaign has advantages everywhere else because the democratic electricorate. sanders argument last night was everyone else will like me when i win. he is seeing iowa and new hampshire to change everywhere. that's the worry if you are hillary clinton at this point. that iowa could snowball. the clinton campaign is not giving up on iowa. she will spend three days there this week. she definitely is looking to set up an if iowa and new hampshire go badly, what next scenario. she can lean on a stronger minority population in other states to help her out. >> eric bradner in south carolina for us. very early or very late for you. thanks so much. talk to you in a bit. >> the winner of the debate are the drapes behind eric bradner. >> a litt

we have live pictures of bernie sanders rally in waterloo. he's expected to be near that sign any minute. the sign doesn't move. bernie sanders will. jeb bush speaking to voters in cedar rapids. he's had his daughter by his side all weekend. jeb bush not doing well in the latest poll in this state. hillary clinton will be in council bluffs. that's where donald trump is. she's in a very tight race with bernie sanders. you can see hillary clinton on stage. that's her daughter chelsea clinton on stage with the former secretary of state. i said polls are close right now. there is a brand-new poll that has sent politicos into a frenzy this afternoon. i'm talking about the des moines register politics poll. donald trump up five points over ted cruz. this is the first time the des moines register polls look anything like that. as to the democrats, hillary clinton is up three points on bernie sanders. that is awfully close. and our cnn orc poll, shows the same thing as the register on the democratic side and roughly the same thing on the republican s

a very big deal for bernie sanders. and they are really using that, making the case, of course, that easy electable because he can get all of the money from small donations. but i think right now the big thing for the bernie sanders camp is all about turnout. he has said and he said at the white house a few days ago that he believes that if he's able to get a big turnout in iowa, he'll win the caucuses and that's very big for him because he's doing very well in new hampshire. the question, of course, for bernie sanders is whether he's going to be able to get those small, young voters out to the caucuses. this is where hillary clinton conceivably could have an advantage because her voters have been to this rodeo before. a lot of the people who are supporting bernie sanders are new at this, if you will, john. so big questions as we go into the last day. i can also tell you that on social media and in other places, we're seeing a lot of strategy papers floating around among the supporters of bernie sanders to try to give p

bernie sanders needs the high turnout. even the president said, peter, in his interview with politico, bernie sanders is not barack obama. then he had to have a meeting with bernie sanders. >> just to confirm that he wasn't barack obama. >> they put his thumb on the scale, and he is not. >> but he kind of put his thumb on the scale for hillary clinton, and then he pulled it off and had a meeting with bernie sanders. to sanders' point, if you look at any data -- some people don't trust polling. this is in every single poll. if you have a younger crowd, if he turns out younger people like obama did, if he turns out independents like obama did, if he gets an influx of a lot of new voters who have never caucused before like obama did, that's the recipe. >> well, and how unlikely that this accept tseptogenarian from would suddenly be obama who was this rock star young guy and came out of nowhere. it's a very different profile and he's targeting the same constituencies. every democratic -- most democratic primary tend to have an

bernie sanders is not vacuous. he is new to a lot of people, but he has a core message that is resonating to a lot of democrats because a lot of democrats don't think hillary clinton or barack obama were tough enough in the wake of the financial crisis. they still feel betrayed by that, and they want someone who is going to be tougher on the powers that be. >> is there a part of you deeply worried and stressed by these recent polls that have seen such a surge for sanders? >> no. frankly, the only ad we're running is one criticizing ted cruz. we won't attack bernie sanders. we won't. bernie is doing a lot of good for the party. i think ultimately hillary clinton will win. i'm not worried. she will. iowa and new hampshire are critically important, but they're white liberals. some of my best friends are white liberals, but the democratic party is lot more than the white liberals. once we get more people of color and lgbt people, she's likely to really roll. she's holding her own in new hampshire. i'm pretty impressed

bernie sanders announced april 30 of the past year. this past summer, he had 25,000 people in rallies across the , sotry, but the media lavished its attention on donald trump, that it did not pay attention to bernie sanders. notuld argue that it was until bernie sanders essentially began to compete with hillary clinton clinton in the fundraising area in the last he broken evenk or brought in more money through small donations, that the media said, wait a minute, maybe he is the real deal and there is a viability factor here. media measuredur the candidate's viability by how much money they raised i think is rotten. donation, someone is not as mortgaged to the powerful interests that dominate our country at this time of staggering inequality. guest this morning is the editor and publisher of nation magazine. talking about their endorsement of bernie sanders and other issues in 2016. if you want to ask questions -- of hillary clinton, you talked about making deals to get things will notashington bring the change so desperately needed. --

eugene, this was the bernie sanders debate. >> it really was. it was all about bernie sanders. he has proposed -- i guess he has proposed revolutionary change. hillary clinton very much pushed back against that and pushed back against various aspects of bernie sanders' record, especially on guns. she was on the offense on the gun issue. on wall street, which was one of the more interesting clashes, i thought, the tables were turned in a way and he very much went after her for taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees. >> let's go to some highlights here. let's go to the highlights here. one of the first heated exchanges tonight was over health care and here was hillary clinton and bernie sanders arguing over the cost of bernie sanders' proposal. >> we have the affordable care act. that is one of the greatest accomplishments of president obama, of the democratic party and of our country, and we have already seen 19 million americans get insurance. we have seen the end of pre-existing conditions keeping people from getting insurance. we have seen women no longer pa

but it's not just bernie sanders. eight years ago hillary clinton was running for president and actively trying to court pro-gun democrats against barack obama. she portrays herself as a democratic church-going gun-toting democrat. >> we have a different set of rules, what may work in new york city is certainly not going to work in montana. so for the federal government to be having any kind of you know blanket rules that they're going to try to impose, i think doesn't make sense. >> that is not the hillary clinton we were hearing last night, nick. is somebody getting the better deal? >> i think hillary clinton probably a little bit. but here is the truth. i'm not sure this hurts bernie sanders as much as she hopes it does. i feel like for these type of attack issues to really hurt the candidate it has to play in the bigger picture that voters have from the candidate. so for instance, evan bey, and a left wing socialist, he is pro-gun. i'm not sure it really changes how they think about him. i do think if you were won

bernie sanders is not stupid. he knows if he gives americans free college and pays off their debt, he is going to get their vote, but what he is not telling end, we mayn the run out of other people's money it will look like russia and we will have empty fields and stores. it will be just like russia. you did not mention them aside from the koch brothers. guest: this is the richest country in the world. bernie sanders spoke to something that i think is one of the great ideas of our time. it used to be called the tobin tax. there is now legislation in congress that it could be taxed, essentially tax wall street to rebuild main street. a discussion on trade speculation that can be retrieved to do public investment in this country. to talk about squandering money on debt, college debt or health care is wrong. there are good deficits. it is not clear one would need a deficit if you have the right tax structure in this country. to do public investment in the future of this country is the greatest thing you can do. about

she always performs well in them, but bernie sanders, i guess you have to call bernie sanders a winner because clinton wasn't really able to stop his momentum. this is turning into a race where the dynamic is purity versus pragmatism. sanders is rlivinrepresentativ things are done now.ate and how- people who are liberal and dissatisfied with the policy achievements of president obama who want a more progressive champion. sanders still looks strong. iowa and new hampshire are his best states. those are places where the electorate is whiter and more liber liberal. there are questions if he can expand more broadly. he definitely didn't do anything to lose the momentum we have seen him pick up in the polls. >> eric, we are showing some of the polls now. the democratic choice for nominee nationally, clinton and sanders. let's look at another poll. south carolina, african-americans, clinton, 82%. sanders, 11%. you know, there is early voting in a couple of weeks. then, is hillary clinton looking beyond these first two states and looking at south carolina? >> absolutely. she is trying to buil

. >> bernie sanders pulled off a stunning upset. inside politics, the biggest stories, sourced by the best reporters, now. >> welcome to inside politics, i'm john king. thanks for sharing were sunday morning with with us. breaking news. the americans released from iranian jails are now on their way home. the president of the iran spoke about the historic prison swap just last hour and we're waiting now to hear from president obama. we expect that later this morning. the dealing and lifting of sanctions is prart of the nuclear deal, of course an immediate issue in the 2016 campaign. democrats call it proof diplomacy works, republicans see it very differently. >> there may be some ugly core parts of this deal we don't know about yet, so we should withhold judgment, but right now, i give thanks that the americans are coming back, and this should have happened a long, long time ago. >> all the details haven't come out on that, but every time we show weakness, it's a victory for iran. >> they know that if you take an american hostage, ba

can bernie sanders win? and of course how old is bernie sanders. we see that a lot with different candidates. with hillary clinton we see things like, will hillary clinton get prosecuted? questions around the benghazi hearings. and with o'malley we hear why is martin o'malley running for president, is he still running for president. folks with questions of whether he is in the race at this point. >> what you are tell ing me is there is snark on-line. we are shocked by those. >> curiosity. >> fair enough. >> daniel, seiberg, thank you very much. >>> as we have noted, iowa will kick off the primary season with caucuses, it is 15 days from now. we will be watching the debate with some voters in iowa. they are at a debate watch party in urbandale, basically a suburb of des moines. the race is tight between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. three polls in the last week, two had hillary clinton up by three or less and one has sanders up by two. a lot going on tonight. 23 minutes from the debate. we'll be right back. me smile. spending the day with my n

bernie sanders came to play. you had a 74-year-old revolutionary there on stage, taking it right to hillary clinton, not in the personal way, but saying these are the areas i disagree with you on. this is why i would be a better leader because i was against the war in iraq before you were. i was against those trade deals before you were. i was for climate change before you were. you know and on and on, and then you saw hillary clinton give it right back and basically say, without again, without criticizing bernie sanders personally, but saying you know what, i can govern. i've been there. i've been under attack and i keep coming back, and i know thousand get -- >> that was the first answer to the young person, when were you born, '93 or whatever. you were chomping at the bit. what were you saying, ben? >> all three of them were at their very best. this was the best i've seen all three of them. hillary clinton demonstrated that she is probably the best prepared person to be commander in chief maybe in the history

i am bernie sanders and i approve this message. my plan is make wall street banks in the ultra rich pay their fair share of taxes. provide living wages for working people, ensure equal pay for women. the middle class will continue to disappear. will.our help we host: on the bernie sanders campaign. -- she is inve is des moines on this sunday morning. thank you very much for being with us. guest: happy new year. host: as he said earlier a month out from the iowa caucuses. according to real clear politics, ted cruz remains in the league in the state but donald trump also very strong right now. the big question is who is going to show up on caucus night? give us the lay of the land. host: guest: yesterday there were two candidates campaigning in iowa. mike huckabee, the winner of the 2008 caucuses. this message was iowa republicans have not yet made up their minds. he was touting sim internal polling that his campaign has aroundich indicates three out of every four republicans in iowa who are likely to attend the caucuses have not yet

sanders would go, you don't really want to support her you want to support bernie. so there's a lot of horse trading and cajoling. it's interesting to watch. >> iowa had egg onists face in 2012 when party leaders declared mitt romney the winner of the republican caucus. >> first place we had governor mitt romney with 274 votes. >> only to announce two weeks later there had been a miscount. rick santorum was the actual winner, and that mistake many argue cost santorum valuable momentum. mary snow, al jazeera. >> coming up, the fight against the crisis of epidemic proportions. >> i'm doing what's right for you. >> that's the kind of debate that we need to have. >> stay with al jazeera america for... >> it's going to be about getting people out to the caucus, which is not an easy thing to do. >> comprehensive coverage that's... >> the focus will be on south carolina tonight. >> on thursday the world health organization announced it would be holding an emergency meeting to discuss the zika virus. which has been exploding exponentially. it is leaked to guillan barre synd

they are not running against bernie sanders. they know i will take them on and do what i set i will to rein in abuses on wall street and the financial markets and provide the kind of economic road plan i think will produce results were people. mark: that was hillary clinton speaking, and that was about 50 feet from where we are city. our next guest is a leading lady of the iowa press corps, and she joins us here. ok, happy new year. >> happy new year. mark: we have a two-person race, and i think most people agree, donald trump versus ted cruz and hillary clinton versus bernie sanders. which do you think would be a bigger nailbiter, or do you think they both will be? >> i think they both will be nailbiter's, and i think after the championship game on the gridiron, they are going to engage. i went to a clinton call center last week, and i was struck by the fact that middle-aged white women were walking into start making calls. and walking into a small precinct, saying i need to volunteer for this person. i want to see a female pre

bernie sanders it's neck and neck but bernie sanders has got the momentum, what's behind it. they're listening to his attacks on wall street. >> they are. i mentioned earlier that majority of democrats in iowa think that hillary clinton might side with big donors over regular people. where as 91% of them feel that bernie sanders would side with regular people over big donors. there's another part of this, too, you notice of course the race has gotten a little more heated in recent days. each have been critiquing each other, marginally iowa democrats feel that bernie sanders critiques on hillary clinton have been fair where as lesson hillary clinton's attacks on bernie sanders had been fair. in fact, even many of hillary clinton's supporters feel that bernie sanders makes their point about her. >> dickerson: does she have something that she does this she can hang on to that if we -- she should talk about that voters seem to be listening to when it comes to her? >> absolutely. it's electability. when you look at the people who want most of all to win in november, they are overw

bernie sanders and hillary clinton so close. they're drawing on completely different universes. >> reporter: it's incredible, george. look at the generation gap here. bernie sanders has a lead of nearly 40 points among iowa democrats under 35. but it cuts both ways. if you look at hillary clinton, she has an equally huge lead among iowa democrats over 65. remember, traditionally, the older voters are more reliable caucusgoers. that could be an advantage. to her going into this final stretch. >> the poll shows the strategy of bringing out bill clinton. >> reporter: he's doing more events than hillary clinton in the final stretch. look at this. iowa democrats love bill clinton. his favorability rating at 86%. only 11% unfavorable. the only democrat more popular among democrats here is barack obama. >> meanwhile, on the republican side, donald trump with the momentum. there are some warning signs inside the poll. >> reporter: yeah, trump has taken a beating over the last couple of weeks. negative advertising attacks from his oppone

bernie sanders understands that. patti: bernie sanders has the guts to just stand up for what he believes in. sanders: i'm bernie sanders and i approve this message. start your week with cbs 2

caller: i like bernie sanders. owever, i do not think that he at this time, to ork that aisle with the republicans and get it done. hillary clinton and bill clinton has proven through their actions in the past that they could move america afford. we have to remember that. not the approval record is what you say you can do, but what have you done? bernie's good. but he'son amendments, not top on being able to get this done. don't believe that they're going to pull his policies in, which he has a lot of good has no proven e ecord of experience to be able to get something done as a president or being around that think at e and i just this time, hillary is the person us. host: let me ask you, if she did win the presidency and remains in the democratic hands, what able you think she'll be to work with the republican policy to get that accomplished? caller: let me say this to you. can set the government down. we've proven it can happen. if they don't, we'll go into depression and be in bad trouble. hillary will be able t

the clear favorite online viewers was bernie sanders. he was the most searched candidate during the debate in almost every state >>> again, the presidential race officially begins on february 1 with the iowa caucuses followed by the new hampshire primary. hillary clinton could be in for an upset from bernie sanders. our next guest says never mind that, the real prize is the slew of southern states on 1 march. he says hillary clinton has the advantage. ali jacobs is from washington. you would acknowledge that bernie sanders has a pretty good chance of winning both iowa and new hampshire? >> yes. i don't think he will win both. he will probably take new hampshire. i think iowa is probably in her corner >>> what makes you think that? >> the big thing in iowa is the grouped game. you can get the most people to caucus. that is what pushed obama to win. it was his ground game. in 04 howard dean was looked at as a powerful candidate whose ground game was atrocious >>> with obama it wasn't ground game. the turn out is around 140,000, in 2008, 26

democrats love bernie sanders. it's resulted in a primary campaign no one could have anticipated a few weeks ago. if you think hillary is worried about the polls, you are wrong. >> after the poll came out. an hour later there was a ppp poll where i was leading him by the same margin, about six points up. i don't pay any attention to this. >> you can't say "i don't pay attention to polls" right after citing a poll. >> good morning! it is wednesday, january 20th. welcome to "morning joe." with us on set we have veteran columnist and msnbc contributor mike barnicle. >> veteran. >> veteran. >> legendary. >> hold on, hold on. one, two, three, legendary! >> exactly. >> communications director for president george w. bush nicolle wallace. >> considering everything legendary needs to go before that. >> senior political editor and white house correspondent for "the huffington post," sam stein. cute little boy. >> thank you. >> so listen -- >> no! >> i can't believe it. >> got to get out. trump. >> no, actually. like you all

bernie sanders will come after you. i was struck, in particular, by the first question, which was an open-ended question that lester holt lobbed to the three candidates. what are the top three priorities and none of them answered national security. i thought we can end the debate now and it tells us everything you need to know about the contrast. every republican candidate would not only have mentioned national security but probably mentioned several national security issues. i thought that was a striking contra contrast. >> in the next round we'll talk about a lot of foreign policy issues. they talked tonight about several issues related to race, the black lives matter movement. police mistreatment. bernie sanders saying anybody who dies in police custody there should be a justice department investigation. and police forces need to look like the communities they serve. >> they were playing straight to the african-american and minority base. that was very obvious to me. because in either party, each party needs a certai

that is a better reason to vote for bernie sanders. [applause] >> let me thank all of you for coming. an incredible turnout. bottom line,-- today the united states of america is the wealthiest country in the history of the world, but most people in our country do not know it. they do not know it because they are too busy working two jobs or three jobs and they do not know because in many instances, really inflation adjusted for dollars, they are earning less than they used to. >> make it happen. [indiscernible] [applause] [applause] we have the opportunity, here, and iowa, on caucus night, you have that special and unique opportunity to move this country forward and make a political revolution which demands that government works for all of us and not just a few. [applause] >> im am, and i say this probably, the son of an immigrant. [applause] [indiscernible] >> it's up to you, sir. >> you have and your guy right now, not that there's a good chance, but that in your hearts, i'm going to win this thing? >> we will have had meetings with

bernie sanders. the polls surprisingly close there. that as there is shrinkage on the republican debate stage. >>> president obama preparing to give his final state of the union address. what you can expect in tonight's speech. >>> and breaking news this morning. deadly bomb blast in turkey at a popular tourist spot in that city. >>> good morning. welcome to "early start." i'm john berman. >> i'm christine romans. it is tuesday, january 12th. 5:00 a.m. in the east. democratic face-off deep into the night in iowa. hillary clinton and bernie sanders at a candidate forum in a state where the polls are surprisingly close this morning. clinton with just the tiny three-point lead

i don't see the same kind of organization from bernie sanders and i'm concerned about bernie sanders because a lot of his followers are young voters and history shows us that young voters sometimes talk a good game but don't get out to vote. i'm just wondering if bernie sanders people will get out to caucus where i think clinton's will march lock step into the caucus. >> sam. >> most of the states are primary states. so when you look at overall from start to finish. yeah, but whatever disadvantage bernie sanders has in terms of people in there like buzz and andy said clinton campaign is extreme extremely organized. but they are facing a stronger headwind. this is the season of the outsider. >> very good point. >> let me change topics here. the audit with the tax authority. >> a devastate audit. >> what are your thoughts of dissolving the tax cap authority or simply replacing it? >> first off that audit was devastating devastating. no doubt that there's going to be a bill draft request or multiple bill draft requests that are going to dissolve the taxicab authority. move its responsib

you mentioned bernie sanders. the nation, for the only third time in its history, has endorsed a candidate in a primary democratic primary, endorsed bernie sanders. was wondering why you made that decision. >> for more than three decades, bernie sanders has champion ideas and issues which have essentially been off the radar of our downsized politics, those very ideas and issues are ones which have innovated the nation. at the heart of it, i would say as you have someone like bernie sanders who is the real deal, is honest, who has integrity and is a truth teller about the rigged system that is shafting so many people in this country. the inequality that is leading this country to be a plutocracy, not a democracy. and for those reasons, the nation believed it was an important moment to speak to those issues -- there are others -- but in bernie sanders, there's a political revolution the could up and -- upend distorted priorities of this country, the sweetheart deal to many are getting, banks and insurance companies

so is bernie sanders. so i do think it changes the dynamic of the race. in the democratic side, on the democratic side, hillary clinton has always been saying just wait a minute, wait until we get to south carolina, wait until we get to the sec states where african-american democrats start voting because they are such a huge and critical part of the democratic coalition. but on the republican side, you win iowa, you win new hampshire, just try to find somebody who's done both of those things and not gone on and won the nomination. >> good stuff. byron york, thank you very much, in des moines. >> thank you. >>> tonight's fox debate, we're less than three hours away from the kickoff debate and then of course the primetime event that will this time not be featuring donald trump but the focus certainly seems to be on the other candidates who feel that they're going to have ample time to take advantage of that increased oxygen in the room. we have a lot more on that. this might come up as well, these volatile markets. i can tell you that i've give rn bret baie

bernie sanders speaking in cedar rapids. donald trump is going to be speaking there, as you see, right at the podium now at a trump rally in davenport. we have over 15,000 activities that you can book on our app to make sure your little animal, enjoys her first trip to the kingdom. expedia, technology connecting you to what matters. you know the symptoms when they start. abdominal pain. urgent diarrhea. now there's prescription xifaxan. xifaxan is a new ibs-d treatment that helps relieve your diarrhea and abdominal pain symptoms. and xifaxan works differently. it's a prescription antibiotic that acts mainly in the digestive tract. do not use xifaxan if you have a history of sensitivity to rifaximin, rifamycin antibiotic agents, or any components of xifaxan. tell your doctor right away if your diarrhea worsens while taking xifaxan, as this may be a sign of a serious or even fatal condition. tell your doctor if you have liver disease or are taking other medications, because these may increase the amount of xifaxan in your body

bernie sanders is an avoid democratic socialist. whether he wins the democratic nomination, who knows, but the clinton campaign is clearly in a little bit of concern right now when it comes to whether they can win iowa, which is very progressive, then go into new hampshire. in new hampshire we've seen a poll, polippy, within the last week that shows bernie sanders up 14. as people told you yesterday, if he were to win iowa and then win new hampshire, this whole race takes on a whole new perspective. >> the only person to win in the general losing iowa and new hampshire is bill clinton. so it could happen, right? >> look, there's no doubt. even if bernie sanders wins iowa and new hampshire, it doesn't mean hillary clinton is lost, she is still the frontrunner. but tonight will frame the next a couple of weeks. >> mark preston, the governmelo off. we'll be watching. thanks so much. >>> the candidates will explain their respective plans to win the white house. next we'll hear from the sanders camp. simone sanders joins me on the strate
