That because the police cannot but first, the latest on the guard every house of worship. Saturday night in new york. Its just not possible. Today, federal prosecutors filed jim cavanaugh. Hate crime charges against the jim, thank you so much for joining us. With us now, as promised, new suspect grafton thomas. The fbi says it found york city mayor bill de blasio. Handwritten journals containing i want to pick up where jim just several pages of what it calls left off, mr. Mayor. Social media. Antisemitic sentiments. And and the ease with which agents say they also found phone browser searches for temples and this this these ideas and this hate can spread. I mean, its a tool of other jewish houses of worship, as well as searches about hitler and nazis. Propaganda that that people saturdays attack came despite in the past could have only dreamed of. Its not just handing you a book an increase in patrols by the or handing you a screed or passing it in dark rooms. Nypd in jewish neighborhoods. Now, its just right in front of an increase triggered by a you. You dont even need to click to sudden spike in antisemitic incidents in new york and new get to it. Jersey. Its just in your face. The Antidefamation League cited as the mayor of the largest city in america, a place where weve 18 antisemitic incidents in new seen antisemitic hate crimes on york this month alone. The rise. 18. And that does not include this i believe its 17 just this months shooting inside a kosher past year alone. Market in jersey city, new what can you do to mitigate it . Jersey. Just across the hudson from new yeah. Jim cavanaul point. York. An attack that left three people dead. We were dealing with societal change. Today, Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer said he is alarmed and so every city, state, by the surge in attacks in National Government all bear synagogues and other houses of responsibility for addressing worship nationwide. It. But lets be real honest about the attack on the jewish the totality of the challenge. Community was cowardly, callous, social media has created an environment where hate spreads calculated. And we have seen over the last like wildfire. And there are not those several years that theres been controls. Jim is right to say those a rash of attacks on houses of companies could exercise a lot more control. Worship of all kinds. I think they need a lot more regulation in general. I also think they need to step throughout america. And our houses of worship are up as corporate citizens and say we dont want to allow this to targets and theyre defenseless. Spread. We have to recognize that the atmosphere in this country in and so bad people, hateful the last few years has also, and people, terrorists, angry people a lot of this comes from choose houses of worship over and over again. Washington, allowed a kind of permission structure for hate President Trump condemned this weeks attack tweeting that speech. We must all come together to that before was frowned upon and fight, confront, and eradicate the evil scourge of treated very, very differently by leaders all over the country. Antisemitism. So when you combine those two but today, his acting deputy things, the hate speech coming Homeland Security secretary out in the open, being spread by tweeted the attacker is the u. S. Social media, being affirmed by citizen son of an illegal alien people in government. Who got amnesty under the 1986 its a very dangerous combination. Jim cavanaugh made a point. We now, with our mipd, have amnesty law for illegal immigrants. Apparently, American Values did not take hold among his entire created a unit focused on racial family. At least this one violent and and ethnic extremism. Apparently bigoted son. The fact that we have to understand we are in a whole new world. We used to put a huge amount of he has since deleted that tweet. With me now, jim cavanaugh, intelligence assets in foreign terror threats to our city. Retired atf agent and former more and more, we now have to look at domestic threats. Hostage negotiator. What is that unit doing . Jim, id say its good to see that unit is now looking you but generally when i see systematically at all the kind you, its talking about pretty of hate groups jim was just talking about. Terrible news. The organized efforts. This is no exception. Not the lone wolves. What can be done in order to we try our best to identify them as well. But there is a very organized prevent or at least mitigate this sort of thing . Network of folks spreading the hate speech and encouraging is a federal law something that can help this . Or is this something that needs violence. And sometimes that fact allows to be treated incident by incident . Us to see something and stop it before the violence occurs. Well, i think a lot can be you were on this morning. Done. Lets look, first, katy, at what i believe you were talking to the mayors done. One of my colleagues. And right after you, one of the he stood up new hate Crime Task Force new the nypd. City councilman here in new york the federal government could. The president , the attorney city had some criticism of your general, could do some big steps. Leadership after these look. I worked on these guys all my antisemitic attacks. Life. I just want to play that. Ive arrested the nazis and the clan planting bombs at jewish im not quite sure what the temples. Commanded cases where guys were mayors talking about. And i think hes being less than going to shoot up jewish schools honest. And kill people. Infiltrated the things with our the fact is that antisemitism in new york, in his city that he agents. We fought them for years. Has been the mayor for quite a they could throw atf back in the fight real heavy. Few years, is unprecedented. That would really help. They could give the fbi what the numbers are beyond anything they need to do it. Weve ever seen in history since they could even enlist special they started keeping records. Agents at Homeland Security and wheth the secret service more and engage them in the fight as when will the mayor wake up in terms of the needs that he is units and not just as, you know, talking about right now . The jttf members. So a lot can be done there. Antisemitism, hate, fear in the Jewish Community is there every states and major cities that have, you know, these attacks, single day. And its been going on for over specifically now, katy, talking about attacks on a jewish a year. And where has the mayor been to address this . Community. Can ramp up their, you know, former city councilman, i intelligence functions. Should say. And people should listen to the for anybody who lives in new york city, theyll know him. Hes been a very vocal leader in Antidefamation League. You know, i worked with them and the Jewish Community. What is your response to him . The Southern Poverty Law Center for years. He just isnt reflecting the these groups really help the facts of this city. Community. They help law enforcement. Nypd has been on high alert people need to listen to them. Numerous times. Not just when there are problems check their websites. Their reporting on these haters. In our neighborhoods in new york publicly on who they are and what theyre doing. City. But when theres attacks on and and Everybody Needs to tune in. Jewish communities anywhere in all good people need to tune in. The world, we ensure maximum let me ask you about how to classify people or target people nypd presence at locations all over the city. Ive talked to leaders from the that might be thinking about community for years now who this sort of thing. Michael susman, who is the affirm that the city of new york stands by them whenever theres attorney for the suspect has any kind of a threat. Said hes got no history of look. We have changed our curriculum in our schools to teach young violent acts like this. Hes not a member of any hate people not to fall for these group. The family of the suspect said voices of hate. To recognize how horrible and that they believe that hes got mental issues. Dangerous it is to give in to an episodic treatment he was them. To understand the human reality receiving before he was of hate. Released. How it comes back to hurt all and then you have jersey city mayor where that attack happened communities. We, in this city, this is a couple weeks ago saying this is a place that believes in saying we do need to think about respecting each other. And we are the safest big city how we classify it. In america. Its not necessarily just folks thats a fact. And were a city that actually has come a long way to mutual that are skinheads or neonazis understanding. Or obvious people that you would but as weve seen this national backdrop, and lets face it, classify as antisemites who are this is now societal. What happened in pittsburgh. Belonging to a Certain Group what happened in california. That you can target and root out. How do you how do you stop it we have flooded the zone with when its just one person who more and more nypd presence and more efforts to reach young may not show the outward signs people in particular and dissuade them away from these of antisemitism . Kind of acts. Is it just about reaching . Violent antisemitism. I dont want to chalk this up to well, you hit the nail right on the head for a large part of economic opportunity, which some the problem. People might say. These mad dog, lone mad dog theyre not getting the actors are sometimes hard to opportunity and theyre stop. One thing is, you know, the susceptible to this belief. And theyre susceptible to social media platforms blaming others and wanting to take out their rage on those others that they blame. Allow the hate speech. Is there enough being done just when we find these mad dog actors, sometimes they have been at the gut level, at the base posting a lot of antisemitic level here in new york city, to or, you know, hatred against make sure that people who might muslims or hindus or whoever fall through the cracks are they want to attack. Taken care of . The lgbtq community. That theyre caught before they get down there. They they post all this that somebody is there to say, stuff. Hey, we can look out for you. Its hate. Well, look. We can get you a job. These social media platforms are we can help you with this. We can talk to you. Not subject to the first is there a safety net in this amendment. Only the government is subject to the First Amendment where the city that can, potentially, find those people and stop them from government cant repress speech. Free speech. Ounded in history. To to those a c say we wont allow that speech. We wont allow hate speech in our platform. So how many times should a person be allowed to constantly what we saw in the last century post that rhetoric, that vulgar where hate speech grew into screed . I say one time. Political movements that then knock their ip off. Became violent movements. We dont need it in america. That was very much rooted in we dont need that. And and the social media economic reality, as well. Company can do that if they want yeah. We cannot pretend those as part of their contract. Things dont go together. Theyre not relegated to the a lot of the frustration that same thing as the government. The government cannot do that because our constitution doesnt led to the election of donald allow it. Trump was economic. Im not purporting the you know, we understand there government should do that. Are other factors as well. We dont investigate people for but we should be honest about their beliefs. This is a piece of the equation. But private companies are not do we have an extraordinarily under the same restrictions. So, jim, youre saying part strong safety net in new york of the problem is social media. City . Yes. Do we have constant efforts to and the the ease with which ensure, god forbid anyone is people can spread hateful ideas homeless, they have a right to on social media. Shelter in this city. We have extraordinary job training programs. Exactly right we have a booming economy. Weve added 500,000 jobs in the last six years. There is a lot that helps us address exactly what youre saying. We increased the minimum wage to 15 an hour. All these things help. Is everyone being reached . Absolutely not. And is there frustration, economic frustration thats somehow part of this equation . I think thats a fair concern. What would you want to do to change that . Look. I think we in this city know weve got to keep investing in communities, particularly communities that havent done as well. But to actually have the kind of economy that works for everyday people. To have Affordable Housing on a really global scale, if you will. That requires actual federal involvement that we havent had literally for decades. This city, any city in america, suburbs as well, used to depend on the federal government for an active role in things like the creation of Affordable Housing. Thats been gone for a long time for all intents and purposes. And it is another piece of this puzzle. Do you see things changing . Getting better with social media as it is . And currently, not changing with the leadership structures we have. With the Homeland Security director tweeting that its an immigrant and that immigrant family and thats why he was insinuating that thats why he was violent. And then deleting that. I mean, do you see this Getting Better . I do, ultimately. First of all, what ken said w was but yeah. Ill tell you why i think it can get better. You know new york city. Crown heights, 1991. We had a horrible, painful conflict between communities. We had riots. Back then, it would have been hard to believe that would heal. For decades now, we have seen people of all the different parts of that community, all the different ethnic backgrounds, come together. And weve seen a community that got more and more peaceful, more and more unified. We have been to those bad times and we found a way back. We have new challenges with social media. We have new challenges with the national environment. But in the end, most people are good. Most people want unity. I certainly found this going all over america this year. Most people want to resolve these issues. We, in local government, have to be there to meet them. Were going to have community patrols, in fact, in places like crown heights, that are multiethnic. That send a message of unity. That reach out to young people on all sides of the equation and say, you know, dont give in to hate. Its only going to lead to a bad place for all of us. So with painstaking work, we can. But we must have our federal government be part of the solution. We must have change with our social media companies. Or else well be fighting a headwind that often will be very, very difficult to beat. Mayor bill de blasio. We appreciate it. And turning now to news from georgia.

Text resolution to 65190 to learn more. Amid the impasse over an impeachment trial in the senate, the New York Times dropped a major story today with new details about the president s decision to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to ukraine as he pressed for an investigation into his political rivals. The story includes new reporting, which illustrates just how alarmed the president s top advisors were with his conduct and how isolated the president was in his decisionmaking. According to the times, the president S National Security team, including his defense secretary, his secretary of state, and hiS National Security advisor, all met withn and release the aid. One by one, they made their case, the times reports, but the president s responded ukraine is a corrupt country. We are pissing away our money. Also, among the new revelations is a warning to the president s acting chief of staff, mick mulvaney, via a top National Security aide who cautioned, expect congress to become unhinged if the aid was frozen. Adding that it might further fuel the narrative that President Trump was prorussia. That tidbit comes as we learn today that Vladimir Putin has invited President Trump to moscow. For more, im joined here on set by politico chief economic correspondent and cnbc contributor ben white. Republican strategist and msnbc political analyst susan del percio. And democratic strategist and former new York State Democratic Party executive director basil. All right, guys. So for fear of the president looking like he is more aligned with russia, dont do this is what one aide said. Congress is going to get become unhinged. Congress didnt just become unhinged. They impeached him. Exactly. So i guess i mean, this story fills in a lot of holes to what we already knew. My question is, gosh, i i wish i heard this during the impeachment hearings. I wish i saw those emails. Right. I wish i heard it, too. I wish i saw the emails. I wish i had all the testimony from all these people. I mean, this raises the question for a senate trial. Do we need to hear from these people . Obviously, we need to hear from them. We need to hear from pompeo. We need to hear from bolton. We need to hear from esper. We need to get the entire timeline on when this aid was withheld, why it was withheld, what trump said. Who he said it to. If the republicans are serious about exonerating this president and making the case to the American People that he did nothing wrong, we need to hear everybody testify about all of it. So does this change the calculus for republicans . Do they now want to hear from these people . Or do they now say, no, no, we definite definitely dont want to . Of course not because now youre opening up a whole new kettle of worms if you will or kettle of fish. Can of worms. Because what happens is they now have to relive, go through all of this testimony again. This is exactly what Mitch Mcconnell was warning the president about for the last month. No, you do not want a trial, mr. President , because this now puts mcconnells members in a more difficult position for moderate states. And that being said, Mitch Mcconnell cares much more about keeping his majority than he does about the president being reelected. Lisa murkowski is pushing back on Mitch Mcconnell. Saying, hey listen, its not fair for you to go out and say this is a paraphrase for everybody its not fair for you to go out and say youre closely aligned with the white house that youre working with them on this. She says it only confuses matters more. Shes been critical of democrats and the way they conducted themselves in the house. It Lisa Murkowskis feeling contagious . Will other republicans say will we hear that from marco rubio whos told a veteran in the hallways of the senate. I dont know if youve seen this video. That he is waiting for all the evidence to really Pay Attention during a senate trial. Will he say to Mitch Mcconnell i would like to hear all of the evidence . Or will he say, no, a portion is just fine. On the question of it being contagious, you know, i hope it is. The truth is with more and more information coming out, i think its more likely that it will be. Which brings me to the youre optimistic. Im optimistic only because i i i believe in nancy pelosi. And i believe in the fact that shes, in part, withholding the moving the articles across the street because more information like this can come out. And it puts pressure on Senate Republicans to, i think, adhere perhaps to the oped in saying, you know what . You could agree that this was inappropriate and wrong even if you dont agree to convict. And i think what it does is push senators in a position, republican senators, in a position to have to acknowledge that their president cant be controlled. But is she also banking on the president demanding that he get a trial . He wants to see a big, entertaining show . Hes not going to get a big, entertaining show he wants. Its not the way it works. Youre not going to have Senate Members throwing out questions and making speeches. They have to write notes and send it to the chief justice, who is presiding over the trial. Its not the show he thinks. No ones walking away with a rose or getting voted off the island. Its not a whole glamour show. But what is important, i think to basils point is i agree. I think there are republicans who are going to want to come forward. Not just because they know theres more information. But because theyre afraid of getting caught in the bad place of not hearing all the information because eventually, everything will come out. And will they want to be on that side of history . Let me play devils advocate because im not so sure. Im not sure were going to see any republicans say i want to hear more information because its going to be damaging for the president. What i want to know is, was it the correct move for democrats to close this up before they got the totality of the information . Before they got when the New York Times got the emails, shouldnt democrats have been able to get those emails . I mean, should they have pushed further in the courts to say i want to hear from bolton, lets go after that case. I want to hear from mulvaney, lets go after that case. Should they have done more knowing that the Republicancontrolled Senate is made up the way it is . Knowing that Mitch Mcconnell is going to align himself with the president. I dont think anyone was surprised by that. Is it a better idea to close it up, withhold the articles, and wait for it to come out in the press . Or would it have been a better idea to get it all in the first place . A part of this is theyre continuing to push forward. And they have said that there could be further articles of impeachment if more informations brought to light. Maybe there are. Maybe there arent. But i think they did know, or felt, that they had enough to impeach this president based on what was in the public record. They did and they say that. Now, there is obviously, based on the times. But in order to get more republicans, is it possible period to have gotten more republicans . I think politically it made sense because youre not going to get any more republicans. What about public support . But you control would the public support be higher . You know what you can control, right . You can control your chamber. You can control your caucus. But you cant really control the courts. Particularly, when you have donald trump making all of these appointments under everybodys nose, by the way. So you dont know what timeframe that was going to take to force the administration to do what you wanted it to do. What nancy pelosi did was control exactly what she had control over. The process. And through that process, weve gotten these two articles. And to my earlier point, in her waiting to send them across, we now get all of this this additional information. Which will be used as ammunition. Perhaps not in the best possible way but in some kind of way. You can also have democrats just coming out and saying look we want to hear from these people. We want the full truth to come out. And republicans are going to be in the position of saying no we wont let you know the full truth. And that is the possibility of changing Public Opinion if theyre denying the ability of the people to get the information. We will have another week on this. All right, guys. Stick around. Youre coming back. Coming up, Vice President bidens 2020 vision comes into sharper focus. Keep it here. My Psoriatic Arthritis pain . I had enough its not getting in my way.

But former Vice President joe biden just got an early taste of what 2020 might hold for him if he is the democratic president ial nominee. At a Campaign Rally yesterday in New Hampshire, biden had to deal with some interruptions from protestors. Including some who repeated some of President Trumps attacks on ukraine. The truth is going to come out, buddy. I hope it does. I hope it does. Let her go. Let her go. Let her go. How much money did you make from ukraine . I tell you what. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. I released 20 years 21 years of my tax returns. Your guy hasnt released one. Whats he hiding . Shut up no. No. No. No. Just just just let him go. Hes an idiot. Let him go. Joining me now is my nbc news colleague mike memoli who is on the trail with joe biden in New Hampshire. So im asking you this, mike. Is the campaign concerned about protestors like this . Or do they couple people that a protrump that are going to come things, but theyre not going to sway any particular joe biden voter. Yeah. Its interesting, katy. I think in some ways, they actually welcome this kind of thing. I dont think its been true of the other candidates but two of the events we ever o weve been coverering here just these past copile days, there have been organized Trump Campaign rallies outside the venue. They have been waving their signs. Theres been the, you know, the the the trucks with their logos. All of that on them. And i think its a reminder to voters this is, as they view it, the most likely democratic nominee. The one that theyre afraid of running against. But actually, biden in his events i think you just heard a taste of the way hes tended to deal with these things. Which is say, hey, this is not a trump rally. Lets hear them out. Give them a chance to talk. But then he also turned quickly to say youre an idiot to the gentleman who kept talking over his events. So he actually has also made a point of saying this is why hes running. That we have to get back to a place in our politics where we can talk civilly with one another. That he knew that this was going to be a rough and tumble campaign. Thats why he met with his family before to make the final decision knowing all the kinds of things that were going to come out in the course of a campaign. But this ukraine question is certainly hanging over the campaign. We have been talking, of course, about his will he or wont he question in terms of complying with the senate subpoena, him saying again today to a different newspaper editorial board, if a subpoena is issued, well deal with it. He didnt say wed comply with it. He said well deal with it. And so thats their position now. And but they view that as sort of a trap question, as well, katy because they also dont think Republican Senate is going to bring it up. I think lets talk about it if it actually happens but as you said, im not quite sure it looks like its one of those things that will happen. Mitch mcconnell, after all, said that he doesnt want to have a big showy trial. And that would certainly be one with with joe biden. Mike memoli. Mike, thank you very much. Joining me now is the mayor of birmingham, alabama. Randal. He recently announced his support for bidens president ial bid. All right. So lets talk about ukraine. And obviously, the president is throwing out unsubstantiated allegations. Hes exaggerating joe bidens relationship or role. Claiming things that did not exist. And hes hes got the support of of a number of his allies. But also, it seems some republicans out there who are suddenly now very suspicious. Including lindsey graham. Do you think this is going to be a problem for him Going Forward in 2020 . Or, as mike said, is the campaign kind of welcoming this sort of thing because they feel like it can it can make it can distinguish themselves help distinguish themselves as the frontrunners . Well, and i first want to start by saying on behalf of all alabamians, that we are praying for and wishing congressman lewis a a a healthy, hearty fight through his process. In regards to your question, i want to make it clear everyone should be reminded that there is no legal basis for us to even consider Vice President joe biden being a part of the conversation around whats happening with ukraine or a subpoena of anything of that nature. We need to remember that theres only one person thats been impeached in this process. And that is not Vice President joe biden. So, no, i dont think this will be a problem Going Forward. In the 2020 primary or the general election. How do you think the Vice President should handle hecklers and protestors . I think he handled the hecklers well. I think its in moments of campaigning when you have a heckler, its important to actually listen to them sometime. Because you can give an honest response, which i believe in the way the Vice President did at the rally that we just heard. That was an appropriate response. Hecklers come with the territory of campaigning. And i think the way the Vice President handles hecklers in allowing them to speak briefly and then responding to them. And then being able to pivot right back to his his message and what he wants to share with those supporters at these rallies and during these campaign stops. I think he handled it very well. What is what do you think of joe bidens support in alabama . Are there convincible voters that that might have voted for donald trump in 2016 that could could change to joe bidens camp in 2020 . Listen. I i spoke to a voter yesterday. A lady thats 102 years old. Shell be 103 next august. And she was adamant that she wants to live to see 103 because she wants to make sure that alabamians do the right thing in voting for joe biden. Now, she said she wants to vote for joe biden because she trusts joe biden. And she knows, through him being Vice President those years, hes ready to serve day one. I think shes not alone in her assessment. I believe many alabamians feel the same way she does. And i think as this race continues to come forward, particularly as relates to supertuesday, hell do very well here. And i think some of the things that are being said from on the right side in the republican party, i think those independents in the state of alabama, i think independents across the country will be receptive to supporting joe biden as well. You have some diehard Trump Supporters in alabama. Joe biden says that if he were elected president , he would be able to bridge the divide between democrats and republicans. Both on capitol hill and across the country. Do you see that happening in alabama . I do. I believe that joe biden has has a wide spectrum of appeal with blacks and whites. With the hispanic community. With all the generations. With various social, economic statuses that exist here in our country. He is a healer. He wants to unite the country. And i think the way hes able to engage rural america, urban america, suburban america, he knows how to appeal to all people. And find a way to get beyond partisan Politics Around governing. And i believe in the state of alabama, he can have an appeal more than to just democrats. Quickly, you got the backing from Bernie Sanders, our revolution group, for your 2017 mayoral bid. Why did you choose to endorse joe biden over Bernie Sanders . You know, i had a long conversation along with other mayors with Vice President joe biden. And from that conversation, he was he he appealed to not just me but many other mayors across the south around being a partner. Not only in his campaign but being a partner in the white house. But beyond that, as i considered this race and all the things that are at stake, when you talk about redistricting is at state, the Competitive Senate races in the state of alabama, georgia, kentucky and many other states. We need a candidate at the top of the ticket that can support down the ballot, candidates as well as make sure we can expand the map across the 50 states. Thats Vice President joe biden. That is not not on senator sanders or any other candidates. Its just what we have to do to move this country forward thats in support of joe biden. Mayor randall woodfin.

Using my old spice moisturize with shea butter body wash. All i wanted was to use your body wash and all i wanted was to have a body wash. Still with us to talk about 2020 is ben white, susan del percio, and basil smikle. All right, guys, you want to mix it up on joe biden. So take it away, ben. Ill mix it up. Ill just say i still think hes the odds on favor to win. I mean, if you look at the polling from the end of 2018 to the end of 2019, its almost exactly the same. His lead nationally is almost exactly the same. You dont think the ukraine stuff has bit into him at all . I dont really think so at all. I mean, if they were to subpoena him to testify in the senate, i think he would be happy to do it. I dont know. Its like hes going back and forth on whether hed do it. Seems like hes kind of confused. I think hed be happy to do it if it came to that. But everything to do with donald trump. I think biden, overall, has handled the hecklers well. I think hes handled most of the stuff thats come at him well. What if joe biden is the nominee and what you see rally after rally is just a procession of hecklers screaming anything at joe biden. Screaming ukraine stuff. Screaming stuff that they just made up. Over and over again. Do you think that that does that speak to to convincible voters . Or is that just donald trump protestors who were there to just make things dirty and ugly . It sounds like you described the entire internet being dumped into a joe biden rally. It could happen. It could happen. You have to expect that for everybody. The president s going to go after him and say things that are true and not true. Thats going to be true for any democrat. The only thing is with the these early conversations about what is electable in this particular environment. Thats, i think, one of the big points that has elevated and and launched sort of joe biden into this into where he is now with supporters that dont look like they want to leave him anytime soon. Heres the thing with the joe biden stuff. Hes going to do that to whatever candidate is there. But the joe biden thing. He has a son who made a lot of money off ukraine. And there are people who will say why . What was his expertise . And it will look a little confusing. A little swampy. They might not be able to pinpoint what was not great about it. But it might raise some questions in their minds. Cant you say the same thing about the trump children . Oh, 100 . But if you were looking for a reason to vote for trump again and you just you just want to be pushed. I dont know. You think hunter biden is going to be the reason that you decide to vote for trump again . I dont think thats the case. If he is the nominee, which i agree it looks like he will be. Okay. Fine. Maybe this. Are those people going to stay home and say theyre all dirty, its all gross and i dont want to participate . I think if its Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, there will be those people who voted for trump that regret it who will not vote for them. I think thats a distinct possibility. But i think the bigger before we even get to the general election is how does biden become the nominee . Because with Bernie Sanders staying in solid number two, buttigieg raising money. I dont know the fundraising numbers are going to come in january. Thats going to be very telling to see what they have to compete because i see a brokered convention. I see mike bloomberg. I cant. Its too soon. Its not too soon and ill tell you why. Brought up a brokered convention a year and a half ago and i almost kicked him off set. You know you do. Mike bloomberg. I think while i dont think hell get the nomination, i think its completely in the realm of possibility that he gets 15 to 20 of the delegates. And Bernie Sanders gets 20, 25 . What happens . Who wins in a brokered convention . Joe biden. I think its Something Like biden. But i wouldnt count out bernie because the issue with the brokered convention is that you need to have very strong delegates, very politicallyastute delegates that are going to be willing on the floor thats a big deal. Nobody wants to have to get into. But neither of the female candidates can make it all the way. I dont think they can. I dont see i dont see the path well, warren is the only one right now i would say the top four that you dont think warren has has another moment . You think shes she could. All downhill from here . I dont think she has any money. Well see. As long as no one person runs the table in the first one or two states, then i think it it it opens the door. It opens the door to supertuesday. What if its a buttigieg in iowa, biden New Hampshire or bernie New Hampshire. You think bernie New Hampshire . Biden, south carolina. Does the door close for anybody whos not one of those three names after that . I dont think it look. With supertuesday, youve got a ton of states. How many does bloomberg need to win in supertuesday to stay in . Delegates. California has 416 available. And so its its its the delegate count. Elizabeth warrens going to do well in california dont you think . I think. Massachusetts as well. Its 38 of the delegates. So you are saying we are going to be on the edge of our seats this entire primary season. Well, no. I think tuesday actually should be watching your show and msnbc every day. All day long. Every day. Let me say this about a brokered convention, if we get there, which is actually a slight possibility that it does happen. And if that does happen, there are going to be so many delegates who are buttigieg or bloomberg delegates or klobuchar delegates who would all ultimately go to joe biden. And the sanders and the warren delegates and would not be enough to overwhelm the middle to right we got go into 2020 with the person who is going to beat trump. That person is probably joe biden. A brokered convention would be fascinating to cover. I will give you that ben, susan and basel, thank you so much. The end of the story for a washington institution. This is sad.

This symbol 30 is often used in the News Business to indicate the end of the story. The symbol is apt because the end has arrived for the newseum in washington, d. C. For two decades the newseum honored the field of journalism and journalists. Among them im very proud to say my parents. But newseum will close its doors tomorrow due to a lack of funding, and that is a real shame because some might use the closing of the newseum to ring the death knell for our industry. Habits are shifting rapidly, but overall News Consumption is quite healthy. When you factor in Digital Media and television, its quite healthy. No doubt journalism is changing, but you know what . We are still here. Yes, the newseum may be closing, but we are not going anywhere. We are losing one thing. A bunch of simulated life shots from the interactive tv exhibit. A proving ground for wouldbe reporters, amateur comedians, sometimes a News Reporter who just wanted to have some fun. Also, overactive children. There is breaking news. Lets go to our correspondent for a life update. Were here actually not to even report anything thats going on in the news. Testing, testing. This is this story. Were trading threes. [ laughter ] thank you, please. I ng work . I start to be a person when i was a child. Aghhh uhhuh. I got to pee. Thanks for that update. I wanted to do that with teddy. The news is not always pretty, folks, but the newseum told its story and told it well. And for that, we will miss it. Actions speak louder than words. She was a school teacher. My dad joined the navy and helped prosecute the nazis in nuremberg. Their values are why i walked away from my business, took the giving pledge to give my money to good causes, and why i spent the last ten years fighting corporate insiders who put profits over people.
