6:48 pm
returns. here are some of the big moments. >> i believe that there is something embarrassingly wrong when the united states of america is only major country on earth not to guarantee healthcare for all people. instead of demonizing immigrants, i think wealthy people and large corporation that make billions of profits should start paying their fair share of taxes, i pay taxes that i owe, why don't you gets donald trump up here and ask him how much he pays in taxes, president trump, my wife and i just released 10 years, please do the same. blake: it was good tv. joining me joanne melcher of "wall street journal" editorial page, did you watch. >> i did. blake: your take away. >> a populist pitch.
6:49 pm
seemed almost predetermined. to woo blue collar voters that have swung for trump, he is very much playing on economic dissatisfaction, even though we're in some of the best economic times. blake: argument of mead carry mr ul, senator, admitted it would raise taxes but he said it would lower healthcare costs. you would move one pot of money from here put it over there. do you think that argument would resonate. >> i thought that was one of the most interesting moments of whole town hall, medicare for all is one thing he takes about expanding. we sawy from education come up, a lot of give aways, a lot of economic inequality, and we -- fix this is big government
6:50 pm
programs, they do fall back on middle and working class americans. >> you look at tax bill, most americans got a tax cut, they do not like the tax plan. when he brings up, talk about economeconomic inequality wouldt resonate. >> a lot of people who don't feel they are getting savers because of state and local deduction, i think he will try toic ploi exploit. but he did have to concede that middle and working class will pay for this. blake: looking at polls, joe biden leading democratic primary, bernie sanders at 21, and everyone else in single digits. someone who ma has not announced and someone running as a democrat even though she is a hn independent, what does that mean
6:51 pm
or nothing? >> i think this is a defining moment for what democratic party is, same way that 2015 was for republicans. you got that energized far left progressive wing that bernie sanders represents. then biden the more establishment and drug -- traditional democrat. i would not under estimate sanders this time, i think that hillary clinton did. blake: how could you. >> fundraising is astronomical, he is gaining momentum, i think here is changing the conversation, you see a lot of candidates, defining their political stance relative to thin he puts out. blake: joanne melcher, "wall street journal" editorial page, appreciate it. >> thank you. blake: coming up could, battle over the president's tax returns. >> you know that is not going to happen. what does that mean, we'll break it down, coming up next.
6:52 pm
so i got an offer on the business, and now i'm thinking... i'd like to retire early. oh, that's great sarah. let's talk about this when we meet next week. how did edward jones come to manage a trillion dollars in assets under care? jay. sarah. so i have a few thoughts on that early retirement... by focusing our mind on whatever's on yours.
6:53 pm
but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? metastatic breast cancer is relentless, but i'm relentless too. mbc doesn't take a day off, and neither will i. and i treat my mbc with everyday verzenio- the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. in fact, verzenio is a cdk4 & 6 inhibitor
6:54 pm
for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer, approved, with hormonal therapy, as an everyday treatment for a relentless disease. verzenio + an ai is proven to help women have significantly more time without disease progression, and more than half of women saw their tumors shrink vs an ai. diarrhea is common, may be severe, and may cause dehydration or infection. before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection. verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. serious liver problems can occur. symptoms may include tiredness, loss of appetite, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising more easily than normal. blood clots that can lead to death have also occurred. talk to your doctor right away if you notice pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain or rapid breathing or heart rate. tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant. common side effects include nausea, infections, low red and white blood cells and platelets, decreased appetite, headache, abdominal pain, tiredness,
6:55 pm
vomiting, and hair thinning or loss. i'm relentless. and my doctor and i choose to treat my metastatic breast cancer with verzenio. be relentless. ask your doctor about everyday verzenio. blake: battle over president trump's tax returns just beginning, most legal expert say it far from over. top democrat on house ways and means committee has a new
6:56 pm
deadline, giving irs until april 23 to release president's returns for 6 years, president trump personal lawyer, said all this is illegal. >> joining me now. george. >> hello. blake: good to have you, what happens from here? >> i think it is okay to up-front say american people have a public interest in full disclosure. but that is normal circumstances. the democracies are engaged in a never ending snipe hunt looking for something to shoot at to destroy trump presidency and end it, they did not fine it in russia story, and i don't think they would find anything in the tax return. i think that president is justified to tell them no. i'm not going to release out of privacy and audit, this is pure political theater there is no substance, they just want to
6:57 pm
stir up trouble, we should be focused on meaningful issue like border and china trade and other thing americans are more interested in. blake: i asked white house the other day, many of my colleagues down there try to get basic answer to question, has president filed his tax returns, white house won't even say that, why? >> i think that staff over there just wants to avoid this issue like the plague, they want to leave it to president and his lawyers, and focus on the business of the american people, i think there is a desire for this to go away. i don't think it will go away, i think that cell -- i think that it will continue through the election, i think it would eventually be thrown to the courts, i think that answer is clouded at best. blake: do you think that president is hiding something or just does not' people to see
6:58 pm
anything. >> i have no opinion on that. but to express i think sarah sanders did not address this in a substantive careful way when she spoke to it the fact his tax returns will be incredibly complex, and most americans would not even begin to understand it. there is a really high likelihood that fishing expedition, the snipe hunt of democrat would lead them to you to otowon to things to score chp political points, i think that is why we're at laggerheads, this is sad for america, we need to be focused on other issues. blake: a potential china trade deal, seems as if we're moving to the finish line, if it gets there and crosses it, you think it does what to the market? >> i think that market has priced if are in most part a settlement at some point. i would salute president in his administration for taking on the chinese, several decade overdue.
