but, but the keystone pipeline, i will -- the keystone pipeline. i will make a deal for this country where we get a chunk of it. through eminent domain, we make the keystone pipeline and other things possible. they're going to make tremendous money from the keystone pipeline. a lot of the money they make is going to come back to the people of this country. you understand what i mean. john. [ inaudible ] my opponents lie. especially cruz. as i said, single worst liar i've ever seen. if people believed the lies then, you know, we won't make america great again because nobody else is going to be able to do it except me. believe me. i know my competition. they're all bought and paid for by the special interests. they're not going to negotiate with the lumber companies, the drug companies, the oil and gas companies. any of them. they're not going to make good trade deals because trade deals are made by the lobbyists and the special interests. we're going to become rich again and we're going to become great again. i know my opponents. the thing i would s

she didn't know where she was on the keystone pipeline opinion i think you've seen in her language more and more she's trying to copy what senator sanders has been saying because she knows what he's saying is resonating. we have a corrupt campaign finance system and his message on that is reaching middle class and working people across the country. >> bernie sanders and hillary clinton essentially neck and neck among pledged delegates, something you know very well. one vote apart right now. the all-important super delegates make it not even close. hillary clinton has some 400 plus super delegates. the man behind president obama's game plan in 2008 says if clinton does well on super tuesday that you all would need what he calls surprising landslides in surprising places to win this. do you agree and where do you think you'll win on this big tuesday? >> no. i don't agree. this is the process. we had three contest sos far. after super tuesday we'll have 15 contests. we have 50 states in this country. a bunch of territories and district of column and we have a long way to go. you can't call

a progressive would not have supported keystone pipeline. a progressive is for single-payer legislation. so this is fair. this is fair. everything is fair. i think from clinton to be whining about this, i mean, come on, it's fair for her to say that bernie voted against the brady bill. it's fair for him to say that she has not always taken a progressive stand on very important issues. let the voters decide. but stop whining about it. >> oh, i don't think she's whining. i think -- >> you are! >> if anybody -- if anybody, hillary clinton knows how to take incoming better than anybody else. i think what she'll do tonight, though is focus on those progressive values, but also on making sure that you actually have to get things done for the voters, which is something that sanders has the to explain on how he plans on -- >> we shall see. >> she should also stop bragging about being moderate and a centrist. >> let's leave it there. we'll see how they handle this tonight. just ahead, our cnn democratic town hall less than 20 minutes away. what do ne

he talked about the environment, the keystone pipeline, the financial services industry. said that a real progressive wouldn't accept $15 million in super pac donations. what we're hearing from the folks, if bernie sanders wants to go head-to-head with her going into this primary from here in new hampshire on tuesday, and onward, then he has got to be basically attacking president barack obama, as well. and as we know, heading into south carolina, barack obama is pretty well-liked down there. >> among democrats in south carolina, to be sure. among democrats all over the country, for that matter. ryan, we did get a glimpse of senator sanders and the town hall last night. we don't often see. when he was asked about his jewish faith. listen to this. >> guiding principle in my life. absolutely, it is. everybody practices religion in a different way. to me, i would not be here tonight. i would not be running for president of the united states. if i did not have very strong religious and spiritual feelings. my spirituality is that we are all in this together. and that when chil

he didn't have to think if he was going to oppose the keystone pipeline. that might make some folks uncomfortable. we -- senator sanders has a record to stand on and to run on and he is going to run on it. >> talking to a lot of the young people, they pointed out they feel like he's telling the truth, like he's been consistent through the years. good luck. >> thank you, glad to be here. >> one we go from here, we go to new hampshire this wednesday night. all three democratic presidential candidates, hillary clinton, bernie sanders, martin o'malley, they will take part in a presidential town hall that is very new hampshire. a critical moment for them to face voters, answer questions and make closing arguments in a presidential town hall moderated by anderson cooper, this wednesday night, 8:00 eastern, live, only here on cnn. can't believe it's february 1st. thank you so much for reminding me. time is flying. we're busy-busy. ted cruz is making his final pitch to iowans today. in jefferson, iowa. he was introduced by his wife. specifically mentioned he will

they were opposed to the keystone pipeline from day one. didn't have to vacillate on that issue. most prostives historically were against the war in iraq. most progressives were against the so-called defense of marriage act way back in 1996. those are issues that, you know, secretary clinton has not been all that progressive about. >> she does say she's been a progressive since she finished law school and went to work for the children's defense fund. you've heard her say that many times, right? >> right. and i applaud her work. look. i mean, god only knows we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country on earth. half the kids in our public schools are on free or reduced lunch programs. we need a lot of work for our children. and i applaud the secretary for her work on kids and for many many other areas. but i think in terms of comparing records you are looking at the guy who took on wall street and opposed deregulation, who today believes we have got to break up these huge financial institutions which once again are too big to fail. you are looking at the guy

. >> where does she stand on keystone in these are reverses after bernie got into the race and you know cha that. >> can i get a word in here? >> no, you can't because i'm going to make a point here. if hillary clinton is against the transpacific partnership, why isn't she lobbying against it in the united states senate? why doesn't she pick up all the phones and call these people in the senate who are endorsing her and say, you know what? we have to defeat tpp. this is bad for american jobs. she's not going to that -- >> let's get david's response. >> the only reason she's against it is because bernie is against it. >> i don't think that's fair at all. look, senator clinton and secretary clinton has been the real progressive champion in this race. these trade issues, she wants that to be fair for american workers and that's been her position. now, the only one who has really moved as a result of this race is senator sanders flip-flopping on the gun issue where he supported the biggest special interest vote in the united states senate for the gun immunity loophole and he's backed off on

he vetoed the keystone pipeline. he launched an all-out assault on coal production and the president will try anything he can and even stretch the limits of his power to keep american made energy trapped in the ground. but we won't let that happen. host: here is the white house response from your story talking in the president knew about the supreme court decision at a fundraiser earlier . why do they feel so confident about their legal putting? guest: they think the clean air act is unquestionably good to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. few recent supreme affirmedings that have the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions in this manner. this was a high-profile ruling back in 2007 when the supreme court said the epa could regulate greenhouse gases. is the move this week in conflict with that? guest: i don't know if it's necessarily in conflict. there is a question -- i think people generally agree that the theeme court has affirmed authority of epa to regulate carbon dioxide emissions but it's a question of

the keystone pipeline. all those projects that everyone supports and tries to push deal with eminent domain. donald trump, even though he needed that parking lot for his project, he dropped the case, he moved on. now, he is the wrong person to be going after donald trump. brothers, his family, built a ballpark and took a lot of land from private entities to build that ballpark. he is a hypocrite. i think jeb bush needs to look in the mirror and was stopped bs out there to get votes. tell the truth. caller: my question is about medicare and social security, where the gop has not talked about any of that. fast, and it seems like the gop has done nothing for our veterans. ok.: guest: if you take a look at the house, the house passed the veterans accountability act. they passed many other veterans bills. it has stagnated in the senate. democrats have failed us. john mccain, who i think is a great guy, lindsey graham, they are great veterans, but if you want to know something, under their watch and other republi

learned if a nation of 315 million can only put forth a communist, a known criminal, and the keystone k ops as president, we are sunk. our elitist political ruling class has just about achieved what the communists have been trying to do for 100 years. person says, the debates are necessary if you have been paying attention to politics. if anything, they distort, not clarify. if you want to come in through the phone lines, 202 is the area code. 202-748-8001 four republicans, 202-748-8000 for democrats, and for independence. the headline is, minority voters a key bloc in democratic race. in her closing statement and without sanders having an opportunity to reply, clinton opened a new argument, implying that sanders'focus on the corrupting influence of money in government is too limited. i am not a single issue candidate and i don't believe we live in a single issue country, clinton said. the debate probably changed few minds in the democratic race. nor did answer some of the key questions. for sanders, it is a question of whether he can expand his appeal from a largely white base of sup

you probably heard his answer saying, you want to have keystone without eminent domain and they say that is not accurate. in the decade since transcanada route, president obama rejected it last year and the company has negotiated ofuntary easement with 96% 2600 landowners across 3000 miles in nine states. host: women only this morning. petersburg, 51 years old, democrat. who are you supporting? caller: hillary. her because she has all the credibility. they need to stop jumping on the bandwagon about what she has done in the past. she did nothing. come on. she did not kill the people in benghazi. that, thet do republicans did not give support so it could be funded for security there, so why blame obama and hillary? for bernie sanders, he has done nothing for the minority people. not at all. i don't know any bill he passed, but hillary has gone country to country helping people as a whole, black and white. on ouraxine in florida line 451 and over, democrat. good morning. you are on the air. caller: i am voting for hillary. what i look at is basically what each one of the candidates is sayi

a large majority want the keystone pipeline built and he refuses to build. a large majority of americans don't want terrorists released from guantanamo bay and they wanted kept open. he is freeing the most dangerous terrorists on the planet. your point.ot caller: one more thing. for the last seven years, good, decent americans have been called racist simply because they are opposed to his policies. let me ask you this, you think donald trump -- you are anti-president obama than it is about the republican party? caller: i don't know where -- the democrats have lost across america since obama became president. americans across the board are opposed to obama's policy. we have been called racist. take a look at the exit polls. donald trump would turn off evangelical voters. he speaks by his past but take a look at the numbers. white evangelical or white christian's supported donald trump in the south carolina primary. 34 in marco rubio and 26% in ted cruz. jim, go ahead. caller: good morning, thank you for c-span. i am 50 years old. i remember the election in 19

eminent domain, the keystone pipeline -- you consider that a public job? do you consider it private or public? >> its public use. >> it's a private job. >> federal and state courts -- >> he would not have that pipeline without eminent domain. you would have massive -- it's easy, you would -- excuse me, you wouldn't have massive factories without eminent domain. host: you can send us a tweet at won lastout who night's debate. " the democrats one." "marco rubio is not fit to replace president obama. he is a lightweight." "i say ted cruz. he was articulate and knows the laws of the constitution." "the gop debate was missing one thing. ideas to fix the country." "it was like watching a barroom brawl. they would've done better if a woman had been included." is the line for new hampshire voters. we get to emmanuel in upper marlboro. caller: thank you very much for taking my call and thank you for c-span. i think a missed opportunity occurred last night and mr. trump puts forth the idea that he made $6 million for the veterans are taking off of the last debate. n

the keystone pipeline. everybody wants that. if you're a conservative, you want the keystone pipeline. they have a whole section of eminent domain. when they write up, the whole thing, on the keystone. they have a whole section. >> the crowd wasn't on your side. >> the crowd was on my side except they were all friends of mine that were donors and special interests and lobbyists. some of them worked for me in the past. actually, it was a very -- it shows how broken the system is. the people in that audience were the people that were supporting all of the candidates. i'm the only candidate not taking money. i'm not taking money. >> you had no supporters in the crowd? >> i had supporters. i had 20 tickets. they gave me 20 tickets. all of the people in the crowd, 90% of them were people that gave to the various candidates. and mostly to bush. bush got $128 million he's nowhere. he spent over $100 million on this failed campaign of his. he's nowhere. those people were in the audience. rubio said, he said, why does nobody get response

or keystone? >> i don't know, hillary has shown as ability to change just when you think she can't. but i think we're ignoring her in terms of she's the other big story of the night. yes, iowa was in some ways friendly terrain for bernie sanders, but it's been said a million times and can't be said often enough, bernie sanders is a 74-year-old self-proclaimed socialist little known outside of new england until six months ago and the former first lady, secretary of state, senator from new york, one ofo the most iconic women in america. >> rose: the niesms said one of the most experienced persons to runoffs. >> this was a very bad night for her because she comes out looking weak. she's going to get the democratic nomination, but what does this say about the capt. the democrats are sending into the general election. >> rose: susan? her speech was going to be known as the breathing the sigh of relief speech, and that is not exactly a positive message of sort of change and accomplishment. i am struck by the fact that both parties do seem to be in an anti-mode and that competes against ou

vice president biden is not progressive because he supported keystone. senator is not progressive because she supports the trade been pacts. went senator paul stone wouldn't get this because he voted for doma. we have differences and honestly i think we should be talking about what we want to do for the country. to get into labels, i don't think it was particularly progressive to vote against the brady bill five times. i don't think it was progressive to vote against gun makers. i don't think it was progressive to vote against ted kennedy's immigration reform. so we can go back and forth like this, but the fact is most people watching tonight want to know what we've done and what we will do. that's why i am laying out a specific agenda that will make progress, get more jobs with rising incomes, get us to universal healthcare coverage, get us universal pre-k, paid family leave and the other elements what i think will build a strong economy that will ensure that americans keep making progress. that's what i'm offering and that's what i will do as president

i mean, starting months and months ago with keystone and tpp, and those are the largest of the two shifts, but there are more subtle ones since then. you just see her adjusting rhetoric here and there. clearly they don't like to say it, but clearly sanders is pulling her to the left in this phase of the campaign. not in a huge, huge way, but, but in a real way. and it gives him o real private place to say, i was here first. >> jonathan, the president's biggest final, initial that he is hoping to get passed and achieved is the transpacific partnership. >> yeah. >> both of the democratic candidates oppose it, but only one of them used to be his secretary of state. and used to be completely in favor of it, calling it the gold standard, now, having supported every presidential trade agreement prior to this one, now hillary clinton opposes it. >> well, it reminds me of bill clinton's position on nafta in 1992. i can remember trying to pin him down on this. it was like pinning down jell-o. all through the '92 campaign, for political reasons he wouldn't take a position on that, against it, and s

it's the same thing: there's a different between paving highways for public use and the keystone pipeline which an oil company is putting pipe down so they can make money and have their stock go up. [ applause ] >> you don't think energy security good? energy security is good for the u.s. economy? of course it is. they are two absolutely different things, joe, i have to beg to differ on this one. >> i think it's great for the economy and i supported the keystone pipeline but there's a difference between private and public use. all i'm saying is donald trump just like the people doing keystone pipeline who's doing what he was doing to make a profit and i think that's -- >> there's a distinct difference between a pipeline that gets us off of reliance of opec and venezuela, rogue nations like venezuela and a parking lot far casino in new jersey. i don't think you're comparing apples to apples there. >> i love it. >> first of all, you know the keystone pipeline won't make us independent from foreign oil and secondly you are aloud to go back and work at the "wall street journal" editorial boar

the other thing i learned, jeb bush wants to build the keystone pipeline. he wants to take an old lady's house. that's a great exchange for jeb bush. what do you think people saw saw this that moment? >> he exposed that marco rubio is a candidate without real accomplishments. jeb bush, if you look at florida, cutting taxes and reforming the education systems and dealing with eight hurricanes in less than two years, everyone in florida who worked with jeb bush and marco rubio is supporting jeb bush because of a record of achievement and we can't beat hillary clinton for a candidate who doesn't have a record of achievement. they were tight in florida. >> they were friends with this and still friends. >> they still friends? we had a christie surrogate. >> i can't speak to that. the governor and senator remain friendings. the governor thinks he has a better record of leadership and accomplishment. marco rubio does not do well. you want to be able to say they had a the spotlight for a week. >> no question that got him a second look in new hampshire. >> the probl

she was against same-sex marriage, she was for keystone before she was against it. i personally as a republican think hillary's more of a neocon than i'm comfortable with. >> hardly a neocon, joe, please. honestly. >> you go back and look at her position positions in the state department: >> what positions in the state department make her a neocon. name one. >> well, in every question howard where -- and, by the way, this is organizing the obvious. in every situation where there was a question of whether force should or should not be used hillary clinton was on the side of using force. and that's just a matter of record. >> the iraq war she and i have a difference of opinion, that was 15 years ago. >> kind of a big one. >> libya. >> it was also 12 years ago. what did we do wrong in libya? >> we went into libya and libya is an absolute mess because of. >> it libya was a worse mess when qaddafi was running the place and qaddafi was about to commit genocide on his people. >> let's go ba ee's go to bob a cokie. >> some of these past policies have not been great. i think
