ALL OF THAT RIGHT HERE ON FNC.
IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG NIGHT.
SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN TAKING
THE FIRST MAJOR STEP TOWARDS
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
THE MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRAT
ANNOUNCING THAT SHE IS EXPLORING
A COMMITTEE FOR THE 2020
CAMPAIGN, SHE IS THE MOST
PROMINENT DEMOCRAT YOU HAVE TO
MAKE SUCH A BIG MOVE RIGHT NOW.
AND NEARLY A FIVE MINUTE VIDEO
ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE
DEMOCRATS AND A FAVORITE TARGET
OF PRESIDENT TRUMP AS WELL
MAKING CLEAR THAT SHE HAS THE
THEMES OF HER CAMPAIGN AND WHAT
WOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED.
>> AMERICA'S MIDDLE CLASS IS
UNDER ATTACK.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
BILLIONAIRES AND BIG
CORPORATIONS DECIDED THAT THEY
WANTED MORE AND THEY ENLISTED
POLITICIANS TO CUT THEM A FATTER
SLICE.
THE GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO
WORK FOR ALL OF US, BUT INSTEAD
IT HAS BECOME A TOOL FOR THE
WEALTHY AND WEALTHIER.
>> AND TO THE RNC RESPONDING
SAYING "AMERICANS WILL SEE HER
FOR WHAT SHE IS, FAR LEFT
OBSTRUCTIONIST AND A TOTAL
FRAUD."
HER ANNOUNCEMENT COMES ON THE
HEELS OF "THE NEW YORK TIMES"
REPORTING THAT SHE IS 1 OF 4
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS INCLUDING
KAMALA HARRIS, CORY BOOKER,
AND -- WHO ARE POISED TO ENTER
THE RACE IN THE NEXT SEVERAL
WEEKS.
THOSE ARE SOME OF THE BIG NAMES
WATCHED ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE.
WHEN IT COMES TO ELIZABETH
WARREN, POPULAR IN
MASSACHUSETTS, HER VIDEO WAS
VERY CLASSIC ELIZABETH WARREN,
TALKING ABOUT THE LITTLE GUY ON
THE BIG BANKS AND THE
INSTITUTIONS, AND THE BIG
QUESTION IS SO MUCH WILL SHE BE
POPULAR WITH DEMOCRATS BUT WILL
SHE APPEAL TO A BROADER SPECTRUM
OF AMERICANS?
CAN SHE ACTUALLY BEAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP?
>> I DON'T THINK THAT SHE WILL
BE THE NOMINEE AND I DO NOT
THINK THAT SHE CAN APPEAL TO A
WIDE BASE.
WATCHING THAT VIDEO, THE THING
THAT REALLY STRUCK ME IS THAT IT
CONCERNED I THOUGHT THAT SHE IS
KIND OF YESTERDAYS PERSON, HER
TIME HAS ALREADY COME AND GONE.
SHE STRUCK ALL OF THE THEMES
THAT BERNIE SANDERS AND SHE HAVE
BEEN STRIKING FOR THE LAST FIVE
OR TEN YEARS, BUT THERE ARE A
LOT OF YOUNGER GUNS IN THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOW.
SHE DOES NOT STAND OUT AS BEING
MORE LEFT-WING OR MORE
BERNIE-LIKE THAN OTHERS,
CORY BOOKER, KAMALA HARRIS, A
LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE LEFT, WHAT
STRUCK ME ABOUT THE VIDEO WAS
THAT SHE TRIED TO TALK ABOUT THE
MIDDLE CLASS, SHE DID NOT
EMPHASIZE MASSACHUSETTS.
SHE ACTUALLY ENTERED HER
OKLAHOMA UPBRINGING.
AND MENTIONS HER MILITARY
CONNECTIONS, IT WAS ALL STEADY
FORMULAIC STUFF WHICH ACTUALLY
IS A LITTLE BIT OF A STUMBLE AT
THE VIDEO.
>> IN THE REAL QUESTION IS TOO,
A LOT OF PEOPLE QUESTION WHY SHE
DID NOT DO THIS BEFORE AND WHY
SHE DID NOT STEP IN WHEN
BERNIE SANDERS STEPPED IN.
A STEP IN AND TOOK THE MANTLE,
RAN WITH IT.
>> I CAN ANSWER THAT, BECAUSE
SHE RELEASED THAT VIDEO TRACING
BACK HER NATIVE AMERICAN
HERITAGE TRYING TO EMBARRASS
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND SHE, AND
PEOPLE WERE, IT WAS EMBARRASSING
FOR HER.
YES, SHE PROVED THAT THERE WAS
SOME AND STRESS-FREE THAT WAS
NATIVE AMERICAN, BUT WHEN IT
WENT BACK MANY GENERATIONS INTO
THE 18TH CENTURY.
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SHE FELT
THE NEED TO DO THAT.
>> SHE WAS QUIET FOR A LITTLE
WHILE, BUT I CANNOT WAIT FOR ALL
OF THESE DEMOCRATS TO BE UP ON
THE STAGE PUSHING EACH OTHER
FURTHER AND FURTHER AND FURTHER
LEFT.
>> ABSOLUTELY, I THINK AS FAR AS
I'M CONCERNED, THIS CAMPAIGN OF
A ELIZABETH WARREN IS DEAD ON
ARRIVAL.
FOR ALL OF THE REASONS THAT YOU
SAID, BUT EVEN THE OTHER AS
WELL.
SENATOR BROWN WHO RAN AGAINST
HER TRIED TO BRING UP THE
POCAHONTAS THING.
AND IT JUST KIND OF STUCK A
LITTLE BIT AND VERY ACTIVE
CONSERVATIVE CIRCLES, BUT IT WAS
NOT UNTIL PRESIDENT TRUMP REALLY
KEPT PUSHING IT AND HE VERY
CONTROVERSIALLY AND FAMOUSLY
EVEN BROUGHT IT UP AT A CEREMONY
TO HONOR NATIVE AMERICANS.
AND IT REALLY STUCK TO THE POINT
WHERE SHE FELT FORCED TO MAKE
THIS VIDEO AND TAKE A DNA TEST
AND RELEASE THE VIDEO AT THE
SAME TIME, AND ALL IT DOES IS
THAT SHE IS A FRAUD, AND I THINK
THAT IF SHE RAN, IT WOULD BRING
UP ALL OF THE IDENTITY POLITICS
AND PEOPLE IN MIDDLE AMERICA,
INDEPENDENCE THAT SHE NEEDS TO
WIN OVER WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE
REMINDED THAT THIS WOULD BE A
DISASTER.
>> YOU BRING UP A GREAT POINT
BECAUSE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
HOW SOMETHING PLAYED IN
MASSACHUSETTS AND PLAYS ACROSS
AMERICA.
THAT THE ISSUE IS NOT SOMETHING
THAT WOULD DEFEAT HER IN
MASSACHUSETTS, BUT AS YOU
MENTION PRESIDENT TRUMP BRINGS
IT UP.
WOULD IT HAVE MORE OF AN IMPACT
NATIONALLY?
WOULD PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION
VIEW THAT DIFFERENTLY?
>> THIS IS A PARTY WIDE
PROBLEM, AND RETIRING DEMOCRATS
HAVE BEEN POINTING OUT THAT ONE
THE DEMOCRATS START TALKING
ABOUT MEDICARE FOR ALL IN THE
WHOLE PARTY MOVES, THEY START
LOSING MIDDLE AMERICA.
>> I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT
MEDICARE FOR ALL IS A
BERNIE SANDERS BILL.
AND KAMALA HARRIS AND
CORY BOOKER, AND ELIZABETH
WARREN, AND THEY HAVE ALL SIDED
WITH THIS BILL.
WE SHOULD BE CLEAR RIGHT HERE
THAT IT IS NOT MEDICARE FOR ALL,
IT IS MEDICARE FOR NONE.
THAT BILL GETS RID OF MEDICARE
AS IT IS IT EXISTS TODAY AND
GETS RID OF PRIVATE INSURANCE.
SO HOW ARE THEY GOING TO RUN ON
SOMETHING THAT IS LITERALLY
GOING TO RIP UP MEDICARE FOR THE
ELDERLY.
>> YOU HAVE TO WIN OVER MIDDLE
AMERICA, AND RESISTING
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND NOT TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY LOST IT.
>> WE ARE GOING TO BRING BRITT
McHENRY IN HERE BEFORE WE LOSE
OR.
>> SHE TRIED TO GO UP AGAINST
PRESIDENT TRUMP, TRIED TO BEAT
HIM AT HIS OWN GAME.
AND THAT IS NEVER GOING TO WIN
WITH DEMOCRATS, THAT WAS
EMBARRASSING.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CANNOT
FACTOR OUT THE YOUNGER
MILLENNIALS COMING UP, AND I
THINK THAT THERE IS A STEREOTYPE
THAT MORE ARE LIBERAL WHEN IN
REALITY AS BOTH OF YOU JUST
SAID, SHE ALIENATED THAT
MODERATE PACE.
IF YOU PLAY THE IDENTITY
POLITICS FOR ANY FEMALE TO
IMPRESS WHICH I DO NOT GO BY, IT
WOULD BE SUSAN COLLINS WHO IS A
REPUBLICAN, AND THE ONLY ONE WHO
IS IN NEW ENGLAND.
NOT.
NOT ELIZABETH WARREN.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT IT WILL ALSO BE
INTERESTING IS WHERE YOU HAVE
ALL OF THESE LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC
FEMALES ON A STAGE ON A DEBATE
STAGE AGAINST MEN, ARE THEY
GOING TO SIDELINE THEM?
HOW FAR WILL YOU TAKE THIS?
THE GENDER POLITICS.
BECAUSE --
>> OR THE OTHER POLITICS,
FRANCIS OVER A CUP PRETENDING
THAT HE IS LATINO, HOW WILL THAT
PLAY?
>> WHAT THE WOMEN, YOU SAW
HILLARY CLINTON USED HER GENDER
AS A CRUTCH WHEN IT WAS
CONVENIENT, AND THEN SWAPPED
EVEN BERNIE SANDERS WITH IT.
WHEN SHE COULD.
AND SO AGAIN, DO THEY TURN ALL
