RUSH TRANSCRIPT Ellison Barber ░░░░░░░░ out from the Iowa ░░░░░░░░ Nice to see you ░░░░░░░░ back with you later ░░░░░░░░ All right We re ░░░░░░░░ to turn to our ░░░░░░░░ panel Democratic strategist Kevin ░░░░░░░░ and G work P ░░░░░░░░ the gist Eric Beach ░░░░░░░░ thanks for being with ░░░░░░░░ Hey Kristin good to ░░░░░░░░ you Kristin Senator Kamala ░░░░░░░░ dropped out of the ░░░░░░░░ and what this means ░░░░░░░░ at the next Democrat ░░░░░░░░ there are only going ░░░░░░░░ be white people on ░░░░░░░░ stage How big of ░░░░░░░░ problem is that for ░░░░░░░░ Democratic Party Kevin Yeah ░░░░░░░░ it s a huge ░░░░░░░░ right We started this ░░░░░░░░ with the most diverse ░░░░░░░░ of people running for ░░░░░░░░ more women on that ░░░░░░░░ more people of color ░░░░░░░░ I think that s ░░░░░░░░ problematic especially heading into ░░░░░░░░ general election We ve ░░░░░░░░ to rebuild the Obama ░░░░░░░░ which was truly representative ░░░░░░░░ America that successfully elected ░░░░░░░░ in 2008 sent him ░░░░░░░░ to the White House ░░░░░░░░ 2012 and it s ░░░░░░░░ to our candidates at ░░░░░░░░ top to rebuild that ░░░░░░░░ against Donald Trump Kristin ░░░░░░░░ Eric there are still ░░░░░░░░ women that are going ░░░░░░░░ be on that stage ░░░░░░░░ gay man mayor Pete ░░░░░░░░ Do you agree with ░░░░░░░░ that this is a ░░░░░░░░ for the Democratic Party ░░░░░░░░ Well it s a ░░░░░░░░ of their own making ░░░░░░░░ ve practiced an Identity ░░░░░░░░ and I would hope ░░░░░░░░ would have a merit ░░░░░░░░ primary election The real ░░░░░░░░ Camilla heifers isn t ░░░░░░░░ in this Kamala Harris ░░░░░░░░ t still in this ░░░░░░░░ is one because of ░░░░░░░░ Gabbard and two no ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ have a problem being ░░░░░░░░ most diverse and all ░░░░░░░░ to be on stage ░░░░░░░░ I do think they ░░░░░░░░ a problem of not ░░░░░░░░ their messaging across because ░░░░░░░░ s no substance behind ░░░░░░░░ Kristin Mike Bloomberg says ░░░░░░░░ know hey this is ░░░░░░░░ voters problem right He ░░░░░░░░ this field started out ░░░░░░░░ quite a bit of ░░░░░░░░ and he says you ░░░░░░░░ it s not his ░░░░░░░░ the voters fault for ░░░░░░░░ know winnowing down this ░░░░░░░░ before all of these ░░░░░░░░ can finish taking place ░░░░░░░░ Cory Booker had some ░░░░░░░░ choice words for Mike ░░░░░░░░ Let s pay the ░░░░░░░░ and I m going ░░░░░░░░ get your reaction on ░░░░░░░░ other side Watch this ░░░░░░░░ will determine the outcome ░░░░░░░░ this campaign and black ░░░░░░░░ voters in particular will ░░░░░░░░ a very large impact ░░░░░░░░ our ability to win ░░░░░░░░ so I m just ░░░░░░░░ to say it plain ░░░░░░░░ is a problem that ░░░░░░░░ now have a overall ░░░░░░░░ for the 2020 presidency ░░░░░░░░ has more billionaires in ░░░░░░░░ than black people Kristin ░░░░░░░░ billionaires than black people ░░░░░░░░ your response Well I ░░░░░░░░ you know Mr Booker ░░░░░░░░ struggling to find his ░░░░░░░░ in this Here you ░░░░░░░░ back to Michael Bloomberg ░░░░░░░░ know his entrance into ░░░░░░░░ race tells you that ░░░░░░░░ is not a clear ░░░░░░░░ runner in the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ and I also don ░░░░░░░░ think we ve seen ░░░░░░░░ last candidate come out ░░░░░░░░ it be Hillary Clinton ░░░░░░░░ Michelle Obama I think ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats have a ░░░░░░░░ problem when they re ░░░░░░░░ know going away to ░░░░░░░░ Progressive side talking about ░░░░░░░░ for all A a ░░░░░░░░ problem and impeachment s ░░░░░░░░ going to help that ░░░░░░░░ Kevin Yeah to Eric ░░░░░░░░ point I think a ░░░░░░░░ of our candidates are ░░░░░░░░ and neck with the ░░░░░░░░ so is I am ░░░░░░░░ that any one of ░░░░░░░░ top tier candidates can ░░░░░░░░ on this president and ░░░░░░░░ We saw a flash ░░░░░░░░ kind of anger from ░░░░░░░░ Biden for example on ░░░░░░░░ no malarkey bus tour ░░░░░░░░ wraps up today laughter ░░░░░░░░ Really did It was ░░░░░░░░ of wild to see ░░░░░░░░ I think voters want ░░░░░░░░ see that kind of ░░░░░░░░ when it comes to ░░░░░░░░ nominee especially getting in ░░░░░░░░ fight with Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ So as we look ░░░░░░░░ to next week what ░░░░░░░░ somebody let s talk ░░░░░░░░ mayor Pete Buttigieg right ░░░░░░░░ has been doing incredibly ░░░░░░░░ in the polling in ░░░░░░░░ What does he need ░░░░░░░░ do to really have ░░░░░░░░ breakout moment and solidify ░░░░░░░░ lead in Iowa at ░░░░░░░░ debate Yeah Kristin it ░░░░░░░░ a great question right ░░░░░░░░ know when you re ░░░░░░░░ top and you start ░░░░░░░░ get all the incoming ░░░░░░░░ attacks from senator Warren ░░░░░░░░ transparency in his business ░░░░░░░░ You seeing some attacks ░░░░░░░░ Bernie Sanders on his ░░░░░░░░ affordability plan So you ░░░░░░░░ going to start to ░░░░░░░░ the slings and arrows ░░░░░░░░ in You ll notice ░░░░░░░░ as Ellison said in ░░░░░░░░ reporting he s in ░░░░░░░░ today as part of ░░░░░░░░ labor convention He s ░░░░░░░░ to have to have ░░░░░░░░ breakout moment on the ░░░░░░░░ which is our next ░░░░░░░░ in Los Angeles because ░░░░░░░░ pressure S on him ░░░░░░░░ perform Kristin Eric the ░░░░░░░░ s also of course ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden to perform ░░░░░░░░ is still the front ░░░░░░░░ He may not be ░░░░░░░░ the top of the ░░░░░░░░ all the time in ░░░░░░░░ but he is still ░░░░░░░░ front runner in this ░░░░░░░░ right in so what ░░░░░░░░ you want well you ░░░░░░░░ t necessarily want him ░░░░░░░░ do laughter Perform all ░░░░░░░░ well at all Actually ░░░░░░░░ would love him to ░░░░░░░░ well I d love ░░░░░░░░ see him in the ░░░░░░░░ election to be quite ░░░░░░░░ Me too No I ░░░░░░░░ mayor Pete s playing ░░░░░░░░ very smart He s ░░░░░░░░ at it and saying ░░░░░░░░ we re not going ░░░░░░░░ veer so far left ░░░░░░░░ Progressive policies that don ░░░░░░░░ exist for our electorate ░░░░░░░░ he s going after ░░░░░░░░ Biden trying to occupy ░░░░░░░░ space So if Joe ░░░░░░░░ falters who s going ░░░░░░░░ pick up that pieces ░░░░░░░░ Pete s I think ░░░░░░░░ playing it smart But ░░░░░░░░ he can t perform ░░░░░░░░ the stage and it ░░░░░░░░ a big stage you ░░░░░░░░ going to see someone ░░░░░░░░ entering the race whether ░░░░░░░░ be Hillary Clinton Kristin ░░░░░░░░ you re dropping Clinton ░░░░░░░░ I happen she s ░░░░░░░░ herself right She s ░░░░░░░░ out there talking and ░░░░░░░░ some hints that she ░░░░░░░░ Kristin She has And ░░░░░░░░ don t blame her ░░░░░░░░ We re going to ░░░░░░░░ s hard to believe ░░░░░░░░ ve been talking about ░░░░░░░░ for so long Iowa ░░░░░░░░
