excited to be joined today by member of Congress, businessman and Democratic candidate for president of the United States Dean Phillips great to see again sir

Great to be with you guys

Last time you're on with me on breaking points we had a nice little feisty

spirited exchange and I appreciate you

your willingness to engage so thank you so much for taking some time with us

today and I just want to start by asking you you know how do you feel like the

campaign's going where do you think that things are right now and what are your

hopes for this month when you know the caucuses the voting actually starts?

So things are going well. You wouldn't know it from watching MS NBC or listening to the Washington

political industrial complex, but things are going really well. There's a big disconnect, I think, between

Washington and the rest of the country right now as it relates to war and peace as it relates to how expensive

life is in America and I'm discovering a lot over the last two months.

There's no question though that New Hampshire is going to be a real lynchpin, a way for me to introduce myself to the country,

the first actual voter competition in this primary season,

and I think it will be very telling.

And I'm keeping my fingers cross working my tail off and

expecting to surprise in New Hampshire that day but most of all it's going great people

are amazing our country is less divided than anger attainment would have us believe, and we're facing a lot of crises around the world and at home, and it has sure been illuminating.

And I wish my colleagues, frankly, could join me on the campaign trail because they would sure learn a lot about what's really

going on in our country. So I know you've got a debate with Marion Williamson

also of course running for president in the Democratic contest on January 8th I believe in New Hampshire.

You launched your campaign, you've been a very solid supporter of the Biden agenda.
