threatened to put them on a list if they vote with the gop in the future. how did they win in the mid-term? greg, it was not the left. it was in the moderate swing districts where they have to vote as constituents want. >> i like how you asked me that question and then answered it. i need to rest my brain after beating jesse on tucker. this tragedy gives power to the people they are trying to punishment moderates and independent minds have like the power of 10 of their peers. >> like the freedom caucus. >> think about rand paul. would do you this or that.

and the kavanaugh thing. it's great to be that person. i love stalemates. one of the great things about your parents fighting is they overlook the stuff you are doing. you could stay out later and in the liquor cabinent every bottle got slightly less. less work gets done in the government in stalemates. it's a form of limed government. >> and the stock market is happier too. went wouldn't you liked to have been a fly on the wall at this meeting? >> yes. dana, there is a statistic in sports called plus or minus. did i just man explain?

>> yes, and i welcome it. >> republicans are scoring so many points. if you think about the green new deal. socialism and abolish i.c.e. and not telling anybody that the de in 2020, there will be democrats pointing their finger at aoc. on top of that wants to create a civil war? she is like the steve bannon of the left? you get some good candidates and then you get aikens and crazy people. christina the witch. >> i am not a witch. >> i love when democrats fight each other. sit back and relax. >> look at this poll, kennedy. this is was in the "wall street journal." a question about medicare for all. in 2018 there was 30% support. today 12%. >> a hell of a chart, dana.

>> what do you think about that chart? >> it's a great chart. >> thank you. >> because we are talking about the issues rather than just about personalities. >> that's fantastic. the problem is progressives they feel the personality will sell the idea. voters are more tuned-in than they have been in the past. everyone is talking about politics now days. one. my bosses pointed out this is the new water cooler. it used to be the kardashians and now it's president trump and congress. people go wait a second. what does this cost? marie and i talked about this. moderate democrats who made in roads in the party and nancy pelosi and aoc a new congresswoman is telling them they have to vote in lock step. do you think that will be popular back home? no way! if they throw off the blob and

show independence they are more electable. i don't know who would want this job is. if you have people telling you if you don't vote a certain way, you are going on a list? that's a horrible job. >> and alexandria ocasio-cortez and her list, and torres small also a freshman won in new mexico. she stood up and said you don't know how hard it is to run in a district -- obviously aoc beat the incumbent democrat. >> democrat are seeing what the republicans went through and still seeing it. you have hard-core right wing-folks. moderate republicans didn't run in 2018 because they didn't want that inter-party primary.

i don't think these moderate democrats will call lock step in line with aoc and i don't think aoc supporting primary challengers will work. if we look at the moderate states in 2018 the democrats that won the primaries were moderates. look at virginia. tom progressive, he lost. >> i bet you wish the other guy had won. >> gillespie? no, i don't wish that. that's an interesting discussion. i think that aoc is good at getting people to talk about her. the question that will face voters. . who has done something for you? the moderate democrats have plans to say here is how i tried to help you. she is getting so much grief from inside the party for threatening the primary people which she hasn't done anything in congress. >> i can add something?

talking about moderate democrats, they are coming up with ideas to push forward an agenda which is the opposite of what democratic leadership is doing in the house. they don't have ideas. they have resistance. >> let me grab this other topic. joe biden forced to apologize after making this statement about mike pence. >> the fact of the matter is, the guy is a descent guy. decent guy. our vice-president. -- he stood before this group of allies and leaders and said i am here on behalf of president trump. there was dead silence. >> tons of back lash for calling pence a decent guy. he back tracked. greg? >> you can believe that pence is incorrect in his beliefs and

still see biden as a really week person. he folded to a mob on social media. if he gets that easily spooked which is the opposite of being a leader, how would he handle the twitter mom or even trump in a debate? if you fold that quickly. joe should have said, you know what? pence was where i was 15 years ago. do i dislike who i was 15 years ago? no, i thought i was a good guy and still think he is a good guy. one religion gets the shaft and another religion doesn't into that's a good point. if joe biden said a leadership position, number 2 issue in the country is worry about polarization, to be a leader and say we are all americans. >> we caved to the resistance. you know my moto? never apologize. it makes you look weak and soft. >> the art of the jesse.

>> yes. >> in 2020, it will be the democrats to who apologize for everything and trump who apologizes for nothing. joe biden was a decent man when he the same position on traditional marriage. it didn't make you anti-lbgtq. didn't the trump administration just push for a world-wide decriminalizization of home sexuality? >> voters care about different things than the on-line twitter moms. they can't suck up their time

and energy, getting tied into the mob and responding to everything. but look at issues like elizabeth warren and the native-american issue. voters are not asking her about that. >> i think greg and marie have it. >> whoa, whoa, whoa! >> [laughing]. >> never apologize. >> oh! >> ouch! >> you can't fold to the mob. you can't anticipate them and you can't passify them. so don't even try. this election will be very different than 2016. democrats have to decide, do they want a cheap pale impression of president trump and sling insults? or do they want someone who is strong and can lead the country. sometimes being strong means i am not going to talk about

identity politics every time i open my mouth. again, you are not talking to the people. >> investigating president trump democrats are just getting started. what they are planning next. that there's a lobster i in our hot tub?t. lobster: oh, you guys. there's a jet!

oh...i needed this. no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on our car insurance with geico. we could have been doing this a long time ago. so, you guys staying at the hotel? yeah, we just got married. oh ho-ho! congratulations! thank you. yeah, i'm afraid of commitment... and being boiled alive. oh, shoot. believe it. geico could save you 15% or more on car insurance. that guy's the worst.

investigation: robert mueller and obstruction of justice. these are all under investigation. there are committees tasked with oversight. that's the appropriate thing to do. i think democrats have to at the same time put forward a policy agenda. next week they will vote on the bill that reforms how we do campaign and campaign finance issues. >> no one cares about that. >> i do and a lot of voters do. >> they care about healthcare and education. >> they have healthcare bills. >> they took a swing at obamacare and failed. >> we are not the ones that failed to repeal and replace after running on that for 10 years. >> no, obamacare was a failure.

>> when the republicans were in charge of oversight they investigated real events. the irsscandal. benghazi. people died and people's constitutional rights were violated. they are just going after one guy this time. >> talking about benghazi and the va scandal we don't have answers to that. if the president did something wrong, figure out what it is and advance. instead of launching 1,000 ships. instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall because people will get hungry. >> do you think there are any legitimate oversight questions that the democrats have? >> they will try on the point

that i was making yesterday when aoc asked about the money laundering and the insurance fraud. there was very special and smart the way she laid that out. >> oh, please! >> what? >> real estate evaluation. >> that's not what it was about. a woman was offended when they said it's not the case. the first hearing was on prescription drug prices. second is one was on voting rights. a lot of state legislatures trying to change the laws right now. we should pay attention to that. if they want to keep the house and have a chance to bring back the senate, they have to have a record running on. running on-going after the

president are not going to help. >> greg, i will go to you last since you beat me last night. >> beat you like a drum. a weak, small drum. pathetic small drum. is there any limit to investigationses? that's the scary part. there is nobody there saying hold on! deep breath. it's like they are shotgunning beer right now at the beach. >> i am switching parties. >> they are investigating into why they don't like somebody. the oversight is getting overdone. they are spending our money on therapy. all of this is a direct result of 2016. trump won. every investigation and anti-trump story is an ointment for that wound but they are not working. kavanaugh and covington and smollett. the buzz feed bombshell. they are supposed to shooting jim acosta and people like him.

it's so bad. it's not working. if you compare drugs that are long lasting. these moments are like crack and last about 15 minutes. it's not a long high. >> if you have trump derangement syndrome the doctor will prescribe harsh oversight? >> exactly. >> i think it's a backlash from the benghazi hearings. it's the first time they have had the gavel back. >> these are real criminal allegations of wrongdoing by the president. >> [overlapping talking]. >> these are real allegations. >> all right. wait until you hear how one media outlet is trying to excuse jussie smollett hate crime hoax

>> all right. a reporter making new excuses for jussie smollett suggesting the stress of fame could be the reason the "empire" actor faked a hate crime saying, did the pressure of childhood fame cause him to concoct what police are deeming an elaborate hoax? greg, i will go to you first. you have covered media celebrities for a long time. >> there is nobody more stressed out than i am. i have never faked a hate crime. i should be doing fake hate crimes up and down fifth avenue. putting him on the cover. the industry i think is a

ashamed. they can't accept how their delusion made them vulnerable to this hate crime? there is no immune system. someone can come in and say i have been beaten. because we are in an era of we must believe everybody, which is the exact opposite of what your parents taught you. your parents taught you people don't tell the truth a lot of times. now we are told to believe everybody. they can't let go. i think they are really, really ashamed. one of the leaders of the "me too" movement had to step down to defend her own son from sexual harassment. she things the accuser is lying.

we have to get back to the idea of skeptical. >> and parents say don't lie because you are the person who cried wolf and no one will believe you. there is a difference between an excuse and an explanation. they are saying it's hard to be young and famous and the stress causes you do all kinds of things. then the entire case of "full house" would be out faking horrific political crimes. >> that's true. >> i like your point about the difference between an excuse and an explanation. i am curious as to what the explanation is. clearly he has psychological problems and that led him to fake this when there are more

victims of real hate crimes that should be believed. >> not true. >> it's up 17%. >> oh, man! >> [overlapping talking]. >> i will do it in the commercial. >> no, no, no. >> we need to employ skepticism. >> let me finish my point. the week this happened there was a real hate crime perpetrated in another part of the country. but because it was not a celebrity, nobody cared. >> the guy that got punched at berkeley? >> no, this is not funny. hate crimes are a problem. >> no, no. i am not making a joke. that was a legit hate crime. >> that was actually filmed. >> this person did something that hurt the ability of real victims to be believed. i am curious what the explanation is. i don't think people should make excuses. i was agreeing with you. >> i know, i know. >> you don't have to jump on me. >> we didn't jump on you.

that statistic has been a problem here on this show because every time we try to explain it's 1,000 additional agencies that were added. it's not about rate of increase. it's about reporting. >> there is still a lot. >> okay. >> this is the classic rich people problem. remember winnona rider. when she was shoplifting because she was stressed. really stress is a single mom working 2 jobs or when you lose your job. that's stressful. >> you don't see single moms who are trying to balance everything out shoplifting. >> 100 grand an episode and he's stressed out. >> fame did not stress him out, because i didn't know even know who he was. >> i am a big fan of "empire."

>> i am a fan of baseball. >> [laughing]. >> i would say the media is covering up for this guy because he is one of them. this is what happens when you are a democrat. you can wear black face. you can punch a reporter out if you are baldwin or perpetrate a hate crime hoax if you are smollett and people on the left will down play when you oh, he's just stressed. oh baldwin loves to punk people. democrats run cover for you. >> didn't they have a column by ellen page? >> yes. >> she doesn't address the fact? >> no, indeed. >> i beat jesse last night. >> again? >> he beat him again. you are probably doing something very naughty on your phone. the new tech rules for
