First tier candidate, which she is. for all the talk about 24 candidates, people on stage and all this, the field has narrowed much faster than is usually the case. we are basically at a 4 4 1/2 person race with the outside shot that someone makes a run the way pete buttigieg did a few months ago. the truth is sanders is fading. i think he has a low chance to be the nominee now. basically its warren, biden, harris, buttigieg a question mark. for me the big question, two things based on what ruth...

Have more people or split it up in a different way, as you said, top tier, bottom tier. its tough to do that. theres a lot of egos. >> warren sanders is the matchup to watch. >> my questions for you, capri, who really stands out in this. weve had a week where the democratic candidates were shutout. theres no breathing room for them. theyre on like spare oxygen in the room because the squad and the president. everybody else -- >> theyre getting owned by the squad, too. not only in the news cycle ...

Little bit, and now he goes back and he runs a re-election. but, look, as we get closer, as we get more and more debates under -- under peoples belts its going to be harder to get on those debates, right? the thresholds are going to change. as he was talking about, the third debate is going to be very difficult to get on. and we are going to see a kind of dwindling down of the race. of the candidates. >> and i wonder, you know, were going to talk money in a minute. there are two coloradoans. you...

Polls. its not surpriseding. eric swalwell is 38 years old. he was able to put out his platform in front of 18 million people which was the gun reform. he got something out of it. he got himself in there for a little bit and he goes back and he runs a reelection. as we get closer and more and more debates under peoples belts, its harder to get on the debates. the thresholds will change. as he was talking about the third debate is going to be difficult to get on. we are going to see a kind of dwi...

Good to see you both. jess, let me begin with you. how important, how vital has it become for candidates to show their face there at the essence fest just ahead of a presidential race? >> i mean, it honestly couldnt be more important. essence fest is one of the largest gatherings period. its about half a million folks all descending on new orleans. it is vast majority black women. black women are the base of the democratic party. they are the ones who do the largest share of that volunteer work ...

He did not respond well. he has a case to make for himself and he didnt make it very well. harris, a career prosecutor, made the case against him, and biden stumbled. so biden is relying on the third primary in south carolina because thats going to be where his support with african-americans could take him over the top. >> yeah, of course it was harris performance at that debate, too, which really gave her all of that boost for support for her. and of course despite having low poll numbers, pete...

To think you can go toe to toe with donald trump. you dont have to look forward and look down the row and say, joe, i dont think you are any good. you can talk to camera and say, look, donald, if you are listening, im a governor. im going to do this. im going to do that. you better hope you dont face me. those kind of moments will be effective. they dont come at any other democrats expense. that will be the problem, is, you know, people are so -- it is a primary. it is a competition. it is a con...

States and told them i will put you out of a job. >> tucker: this is a sincere question. none of these people theyre not scientists. they are politicians. thats what they do. is it an accident that all of their solutions increase their power? have you seen any solutions to global warming that would not make the democratic party more powerful? >> no. i havent seen one that doesnt enrich a certain industry if hes going to spend $1.7 trillion, its got to go to people like tom stiere. who own green ...

On the democratic party and swing races, its a powerful fund-raising message to say this about the president. because the donor base dislikes him. at the same time, i think speaker pelosi senses the president -- that there are opportunities for her to try to get some legislation through, the democrats would be regarding in their infrastructure. a lot of money for unions. so its this conflicting narrative of fund-raising and her more pragmatic sense that maybe theres things better for the democra...

Shiny moment, hes bringing in an impressive team. well see what it is worth but they are serious. >> these are the crown jewel ad makers on the democratic side and there are other peoples like jim margolis but these are high level hires for buttigieg and hires he couldnt have made three or four or five months ago because he is a factor and supplanted him in the race, he has the gravitas to get that kind of staff and he has the money now. hes tapped into the donor base and a player on the democra...
