rudy giuliani and adam schiff will be on tomorrow. you'll be back tomorrow at 1:00 as well. our friends in new york continue from here l. se.see ya. arthel: a new political battle intensifying in washington. jerry nadler issuing a p subpoena for the unredacted mueller report along with the underlying evidence. the justice department is pushing back, calling the move, quote, premature and unnecessary. hello, everyone, welcome to a brand-new hour inside america's news headquarters. i'm arthel neville. eric: i'm eric shawn. the justice department is saying that chairman nadler and other lawmakers can review the report with fewer redactions soon. but chairman nadler says that does not go far enough. adding that he wants to hear from the special counsel himself. >> the barr revealed himself as an agent of the president, not

the attorney general of the american people. he said they found no collusion. whereas the special prosecutor specifically said collusion is not a legal term and he didn't make any findings, said we hadn't reached a finding on criminal conspiracy. we have to hear from mueller, ask him a lot of questions. we have to hear from other people. eric: we have full coverage on all of this. phil keating is in florida near mar-a-lago. garrett ten any has reaction tem the campaign trail. allison bar deer has reaction from -- barber has reaction from washington. >> reporter: they said the doj's proposal would prohibited discussion of the full report from other members. they say they need to see everything and there needs to be a mechanism to ensure access to grand jury material. democrats say they will do more in regard to the special

counsel's report and they believe that's what the special counsel wanted. on page 220, the report says this, quote, congress has authority to prohibit a president's corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice. democrats are pointing to that as proof that congress, not the attorney general, gets to find an answer when it comes to obstruction. lawmakers are set to hear from attorney general barr in a week and-a-half. he'll testify before the judiciary committee, the senate on may 1st, the house on may 2nd. that's not all that democrats want. they also want to hear from special counsel robert mueller and they want more of his report, no redactions, all of the underlying documents. some progressive democrats say it's time to start i' impeachmet proceedings. leadership, however, is not going that far and for now neither is the chair of the house judiciary committee.

>> you can open impeachment proceedings. >> we're not there. we need the entire report, unredacted, and underlying documents in order to make informed decisions. >> if the special counsel as he made clear had found evidence exonerating the president, he would have said so. he did not. he left that issue to the congress of the united states and we will need to consider it. >> reporter: chairman nadler issued his subpoena for the full report yesterday and gave the justice department until may 1st to comply. eric. eric: we're covering all of the latest throughout this hour. arthel: meanwhile, president trump is keeping up his attacks against the special counsel over the holiday weekend, tweeting this morning, quote, the end result of the greatest witch hunt in u.s. political history is no collusion with russia and no obstruction. pretty amazing. phil keating is live in west palm beach with the latest. phil. >> reporter: arthel, a wonderful, sunny and pleasant

day for golf and the president is now into his fifth hour at his trump international golf club where he got there at 9:00 a.m. eastern time this morning. he, the first lady and members of the first family are all here in palm beach county for an extended easter weekend. but before the president left mar-a-lago on palm beach this morning, he lashed out at the media for its reaction to the redacted mueller report, tweeting of course, and i quote, the fake news media is doing everything possible to stir up and anger the polls and as many people as possible, seldom mentioning the fact that the mueller report had the principle conclusion that there was no collusion with russia. the russia hoax is dead. trump is threatening retaliation against those who pushed for the two-year investigation. on the obstruction of justice part of the probe, mueller listed 10 things that happened that could be criminal obstruction if you link them together but he declined to inindicindict the you sitting

president. he said he could not exonerate trump, leaving further steps to congress. elizabeth warren, who is running for president, is now calling for his impeachment. >> i do believe that the evidence is just overwhelming, that donald trump has committed these offenses and that means we should open proceedings in the house and then the house can a take a vote. >> reporter: the white house press office today releasing these photos of yesterday's celebrity round of golf, rush limbaugh paired up with trump and professional golfer alexi thompson for a round of 18. the white house correspondents association thinks the travel pool which is nearby the golf course should have been invited in for photos and videos of the president and his guests. that was not the case in this case. as for the remaining weekend, no

public events scheduled but we expect he will break away from the resort and head over to attend easter services with the first lady. arthel. arthel: okay, phil ke a ating, thank you. eric: the mueller report playing out big time in the campaign trail. elizabeth warren becoming the first democratic presidential candidate to call for president trump to be impeached. former obama housing secretary julianne castro, who is also running for president, he's on-board the impeachment calls, saying the house needs to begin the proceedings against the president soon, this coming ahead of what is like throw be the most highly anticipated campaign launch that we expect will occur next week. jared tenney has more from washington. hi, garrett. >> reporter: the democratic field is about to get a little bigger this week with the addition of former vice president joe biden. two sources with knowledge of biden's plans tell fox news he's

expected to declare his candidacy on wednesday. the theme will be the battle for the soul of america and the site for his campaign rollout will be charlottesville, virginia. for months the 76-year-old has led nearly every poll of 2020 democratic candidates, even without officially entering the race. this week in boston, biden gave a preview of his pitch to blue collar workers at a union rally for grocery store workers who are on strike. >> that's just a simple fact. that's a fact. you know who built the middle class? unions. unions built the middle class. >> reporter: as he enters the race, one of the leading questions facing democratic hopefuls is whether congress should impeach president trump. democratic leaders have largely resisted that effort. a number of candidates are calling for it. earlier today, senator elizabeth warren doubled down on her calls at an organizing event in new hampshire. >> a lot of folks say this is

politically charged, democrats shouldn't go here, just stay away from it. there's an election coming up. but there's some things that are bigger than politics. i have called on the house to initiate impeachment proceedings. >> reporter: we've been reporting for weeks that biden's team has been preparing for him to enter the race by reaching out to donors, sayin saying thet to make a big splash with donations. that will be something to keep an eye on as well. arthel: for more on all of this, let's bring in emily larson, the political reporter at the washington examiner. so emily, how much of a political tight rope do the democrats have to walk on the notion of impeding -- impeaching, excuse me, president trump? >> well, the political tight rope as you say is very tricky situation. i know that nancy pelosi and a lot of other leading democrats in congress remember the impea

impeachment trials of clinton in the '90s. that didn't work out so well for republicans. they lost seats in the midterm. with the election 18 months away, i know that pelosi and a lot of leading democrats are weary that the public will not like extended impeachment proceedings and the hype that comes with that and the worry that that will impacted them. pelosi and others are saying take a step back, let us investigate more and if impeachment comes down on the line, maybe they'll consider that but what they're focused on is 2020. arthel: how speaker pelosi has proven herself once again, emily, to be the sage of the party. but she does have to contend with some let's say spicey democrats and so how does she now bring both fractions into one pot on how to serve or not to serve articles of impeachment? >> one way to do that is to allow investigations to continue, which you can see certainly they are continuing

with the judiciary committee wanting to hear from robert mueller and the subpoena for the full unredacted mueller report and so nancy pelosi will allow the more leftist democrats in her party to continue these inquiries a and perhaps use that as political capital in the 2020 elections. arthel: you're right, if special counsel mueller does appear on the hill and publicly testify, perhaps that will give speaker below yo pelosi and some other democratic leaders the backdrop to make a more -- a decision that won't backfire on them politically. i'm mincing my words here. >> well, another thing is that how are the 2020 democrats handling this. and as you just talked about, elizabeth warren is the first to really come out forcefully in favor of impeachment. arthel: let me show a tweet

from senator warren. she tweeted this yesterday. it says, quote, the mueller report lays out facts showing that a hostile foreign government attacked our 2016 election to help donald trump a and donald trump welcomed that help. once elected, donald trump obstructed the investigation into that attack. the severeity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty. that means the house should initiate impeachment proceedings against the president of the united states. so back to you, emily. at this point most americans don't want to live through another presidential impeachment. yet the people spoke and put democrats back in charge of the house of representatives, expecting them to employ checks and balances. so do the democrats consider that? >> definitely a consideration. and that's a big risk, calling for impeachment, is that the trump add medicine phras adminis campaign can use this as political capital for themselves

saying look at all the democrats, they've always wanted me impeached, they're moving forward with impeachment. that's a big risk. the other big risk is that it isn't enough 2020 democrats seeking the presidency to just be as anti-trump as possible. all of them are against trump, all of them are running against him. so in may we're going to have a lot more talk of the mueller investigation and mueller report and what comes of that but come june and the democratic primary debates, the candidates will have to set themselves apart by not only saying i'm against trump but also what am i bringing to the table. arthel: you're right bow that. let's talk about the republicans for a moment. the mueller report didn't exonerate the president. how did the republicans play this? they keep talking oh, no collusion, no collusion when the language is the report concluded that no one on the campaign, quote, conspired or coordinated with russians but it found, quote, numerous links and said that, quote, campaign expected it benefit from the russian

efforts. the report points to 1 10 separe instances of the president's attempt to slow down the investigation. there's a lot in the report and it's out there for the public to read, should they choose to and if not, folks like us and reporters and some of the political pundits and analysts and legal experts will be talking about it. so the information is going to get out there. that said, we talked about democrats. how do the republicans play this moving forward? >> well, so far the republicans have been saying what they've been saying all along, that there was no collusion, at least nothing that rises to the level of criminal conspiracy and painting it as a democratic over-reaction. arthel: does it matter? do you think they can keep doing that, considering that mr. mueller did not spell out obstruction of justice but he laid a trail of very specific crumbs so that congress can determine whether or not that was the case.

so if in fact the republicans just continue with talking points, do they run the risk on some level to maybe turn off some of their voters, maybe not the base but some of the other voters saying guys, listen, bad stuff happened at the 2016 presidential election and a foreign -- a hostile foreign agency, country, interfered for a fact. shouldn't we be jumping all over that, instead of yelling no collusion, no collusion. it is good there was no conspiracy or coordination with the trump campaign. that's great news for the country. but it doesn't dismiss the fact that it happened. >> certainly not. and some republicans will certainly point to the russia aspect and maybe they will try to look at ways in which they can mitigate russian interference in elections in the future and focus on that aspect of it and bring that into their response to the report.

but president trump's approval ratings dropped i think a little bit in the last day or two since the report but they've remained relatively consistent and i expect at least on the l campaign side of the republican strategy to keep focusing on issues closer to voters like the economy, immigration and jobs and hope that that will carry them through, through the 2020 elections. as far as what happens in congress, they're very divided right now. we saw sense senator mitt romne out pretty strongly condemning what was in the mueller report. even he said it showed no collusion, no obstruction of justice. he's condemning the actions in the report but still not on the side of democrats, saying this rises to a really serious level that we need to keep investigating. romney wants to move on. so that might be the strategy that some more moderate republicans take and acknowledge what was in it but -- and try to

move on from this scenario. arthel: emily larson, political reporter for washington examiner, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. arthel: we will hear both sides react tomorrow on sunday morning futures. john ratliff is a member of the house judiciary and intelligence committees will be here, followed by dan kildee, that's going to be tomorrow a at 10:00 a.m. eastern. eric: there's a new twist in the crisis at the border. how a confrontation between mexican and u.s. troops is increasing tensions there. we'll have details about that. straight ahead. and it has now been 20 years since the haunting columbine school shooting massacre. how the community there today is marking this tragic and sorrowful moment, remembering those who were gunned down. >> i wish we made more progress, stopping this kind of violence. (driver) relax, it's just a bug.

coming here and reflecting and reading what the parents wrote, you get to know about their children a little bit and who they were. this represents a time to remember but it also represents a time for hope. eric: it's unbelievable that it's been 20 years, a little town, cal colorado community mag the two decades since the deadly

massacre at columbine high school. there will be a vigil tonight, remembering the teacher and students who were gunned down on that horrible day in a mass shooting that tragically proceeding -- preceded so many still to come. we are joined from the park, at the high school, on th the sombr ceremonies today. >> reporter: every year, the high l school students participate in a day of service in the community. we have seen that today, the current high school students at columbine are wearing special t-shirts, they're out in the community, and they're helping neighbors. behind me, preparations continue for the memorial service. the theme today is remember, reflect, recommit. yesterday, there was a columbine vigil, a coming together of those who wanted to pay their respects. 20 years ago, 12 high school students and one of their teachers were killed by two classmates who in turn took their own lives in the campus library. it wasn't the first school

shooting but at the time it was the worst in american history. many of the protocols of that -- that schools and law enforcement follow in an active shooter situation came from lessons learned in this tragedy. one of those lost that day was 18-year-old lauren townsend, a senior and straight a student at columbine. here's her mother. >> she said her goal every day was to make somebody smile. if you can imagine if just half the people in this world had that as a goal, i just want to go out and make somebody smile, there would be a lot of changes made in this world. there would be a lot less hatred and a lot less violence. >> reporter: the memorial service is set to begin at 5:00 p.m. eastern, 3:00 local time. there is a cordoned off area that's invite only, family, friends, survivors. that's to protect their privacy. beyond that, the public is

invited to come here and remember and honor those lost on this day in this small corner of colorado. eric: quite a memorial later on today. we will be covering it on the fox news channel. eric: shepherd smith picks up the story of the brave survivors who are he reflecting on experiencing from that unforgettable and tragic day. >> it started like any other day. >> i went to the school library, to study for a test. >> we walked through the library, going to head out the back door to the junior parking lot. >> i stopped and found a seat in the library to read a magazine. >> i heard popping noises from outseemed i thought they were -- outside. i thought they were fire crackers, seniors pulling a prank. a teacher ran into the room, completely frantic, yelling at us to hide. >> we got under a table with two students we didn't know and we waited. >> i ran and hid, thought you i

had a great hiding spot. >> they were shooting off guns, taunting or making fun of students before they shot or killed them, treating it like it was a game. >> i turned around to see one of the shooters leaning behind me and knew that my turn was coming. and it did. >> each of them fired multiple shots under our table and i was hit twice a and cory was killed instantly. >> they shot and killed isaiah and shot and killed mass. >> the school is in a panic. i'm in the library. we've got students down. heads under the tables! kids are screaming. the teachers are trying to take control of things. >> reporter: the s.w.a.t. team is still rescuing students from inside that high school. this is columbine high school, littleton suburb of denver. >> people are getting shot all around me. >> when they were shooting in the library, we heard them screaming off they would shoot up something they would go woo!

>> we're in the burbs for god's sake. >> reporter: before they put any of the investigators in to figure out how this happened, and to get the victims out of there, they wanted to get all these bombs first? >> there were shooting people left and right. >> reporter: scenes which people in combat don't witness, the gunning down of their classmates, completely out of the blue, wondering now exactly what went wrong. could somebody have stopped it and what in the world do we do next? >> how could somebody do that? i mean, whether or not they had problems or they were angry, they took other kids' lives. >> reporter: one picture that spoke a thousand words today was this, a boy trying to run from two of his classmates who were going on a ca rampage inside. sheriff's off officials telling, t quote, this was a well-planned mission, a suicide mission, which ended exactly as the students expected. after the shooting, austin eubanks abused drugs to cope

with his grief. he's clean now and devoted to helping others who got hooked on drugs after trauma. >> i can't tell you how much it means to be able to work with organizations or with individuals and have my personal story or my expertise be able to change the trajectory of their lives. >> reporter: greg scott says he uses his story and his sister's legacy to motivate and inspire kids. >> my hope is that on the 20th anniversary, that people would stop if they want to do anything in remembrance of what happened at columbine, do this. tell your family you love them that day. >> reporter: for casey johnson, an author and mother, finding a way to tell her story took some time. but she now says she's using her past for good things. >> i almost feel this responsibility as a survivor of columbine to walk the road with the other victims of these events and kind of cheerlead them along the way and let them

know that there is hope and there is goodness still to come and it's all worth the journey. arthel: and that was shepherd smith reporting. eric: after so much speculation and anticipation, we're told that he is in. former vice president joe biden making it official this coming week, throwing in his hat to the ring for president, that should happen in about four days. coming up, how his candidacy shakes up race for the white house. we the mueller report is in but is president trump in the clear as he and his supporters claim. will the legal issues haunt him after he leaves office? >> there will be two more years of investigations. they aren't going to go forward with impeachment but they are going to go forward on investigations on four or five different house committees and the verdict will be rendered in november of 2020. whoa. this looks worse than i thought.

mike and jen doyle? yeah. time for medicare, huh. i have no idea how we're going to get through this. follow me. choosing a plan can be super-complicated. but it doesn't have to be. unitedhealthcare can guide you through the confusion, with helpful people, tools and plans. including the only plans with the aarp name. well that wasn't so bad at all. that's how we like it. aarp medicare plans, from unitedhealthcare.

so when people said that they did not decide the obstruction case, sure they did. because if there was either decline or you recommend, and they declined here. because -- >> well, they did make a decision. >> he did. heed said there was no finding of a violation of law. eric: that' president that'ss personal attorney, saying the mueller report clears the president. obstruction of justice, the report says while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him. others are saying he may not be out of the woods when it comes to future legal trouble. they argue he is safe from prosecution while in office, it could be a different matter once he leaves the white house. what do we expect? robert wray joins us, former federal prosecutor. good to he see you.

>> i know some things. if you believe elizabeth warren, a presidential candidate and current united states senator, her view is that the evidence of obstruction is overwhelming. the report also doesn't say that. if it had been overwhelming, bob mueller would have said so. eric: he can't -- he even says he can't prosecute because the president is immune from that under the federal rules. do you think he would have been prosecuted if he wasn't president based on the 10 issues? >> i think that was one of the things that attorney general, bill barr was interested in and inquired about. he wanted to understand in conversations and communications with the special counsel's office whether they were deferring because of the department's policy relative to not being able to indict a sitting president, or based upon the evidence, meaning both the law of obstruction and the fact as it would apply to that law, and it was clear because apparently he asked three times, the answer back was no, that was a -- we did not make a

traditional prosecutorial judgment, not because of the fact of the olc opinion, the office of legal counsel opinion, that you cannot indict a sitting president. eric: there are those who are saying once the president is out of office he could face legal jeopardy. in the mueller report issues, do you think that is true or not true? >> i really think that's ridiculous. you commissioned an investigation by the deputy attorney general acting as the acting attorney general at that time to appoint a special counsel with regard to this matter and after a 22 month investigation and a resolution of the criminal case, ultimately by both the special counsel and the attorney general of the united states, that means in layman's terms it's over. over means over. over doesn't mean we'll find another prosecutor some time in the future within the statute of limitations to continue on where the special counsel investigation left off. so no. eric: in terms of mul mueller,t there are 14 other cases and

there are two dozen or so sealed indictments in several offices of washington, and maybe in the southern district. does the president or his aides and others basically face jeopardy there? >> there are investigations. i don't want to comment about sealed proceedings. i have no way of knowing. it's important to remember that referrals by bob mueller's office to u.s. attorneys offices around the country, those u.s. attorney's offices while they act in some sense independently, they do all report back to the department of justice and with regard to significant matters and matters involving the president of the united states would undeniably qualify as important and significant matters, all of those are within the supervision of the attorney general of the united states. so in connection with any possible proceedings against the president of the united states, either now or in a sealed capacity with regard to when he leaves office, they don't go anyplace unless upon the personal approval of the

attorney general of the united states. eric: supporters will say bill barr used his judicious professional examination to decide things. critics are going to say he's trying to spin it and he'll protect the president. >> that's what they've all been saying in an effort to try to minundermine the he resolution f the investigation. at the end of the day, you can't go from no collusion to, okay, well, if it wasn't collusion, it was obstruction. and now that we know that it wasn't obstruction, because the attorney general has said there was an insufficient criminal case, democrats including adam schiff has said well, eve b if f it's not a crime, the president's conduct is subject to condemnation. you can't have it both ways. you can't say as elizabeth warren has said, well, that doesn't change the fact that i think that the evidence is overwhelming. ultimately, we're all talking about the same set of facts here. democrats are now going to be put in this difficult political decision to decide whether they are going to be commencing impeachment proceedings and

we'll face that issue as soon as perhaps wednesday of next week when the first question out of the box for joe biden, if he decides to declare his candidacy, do you support efforts should they proceed with impeachment proceedings he. eric: what do you think they're going to do? you have a lot of experience as the whitewater special prosecutor. bill clinton testified in the white house. he was in the map room in that videotape. can you contrast that experience with the president giving written answers in this case and do you think the democrats will go for impeachment? >> i think that the president received and accepted legal advice from his personal attorneys that there wasn't anything that he could do that would help himself by providing oral testimony under oath to bob mueller's investigators. so he exercised his fifth amendment privilege to decline the invitation which he's entitled to do. and mr. mueller's office had then to make a decision about whether or not they were going

to subpoena the president for his testimony and they chose not to do so and bob mueller explained the in the report whye declined. they reached a point in the investigation, over a span of 22 months, that if they had gone down that road that would have met with an objects from the obe president and that would have been litigated before the courts and would have prolonged the investigation frankly to a point that would not have been in the country's best interest. in many respects, bob mueller deserves a debt of gratitude from the american people to do the best that he could to resolve this matter. the attorney general has now received it for purposes of criminal proceedings and criminal law enforcement. the investigation truly is over and people just need to accept that and opponents of the president need to get over it and we need to move on. i understand that the house will have to make its own judgment through the judiciary committee and chairman nadler about where they intend to go and the question will be who is running the show there, leadership in

the house of representatives that seems to know the better of the argument as a political judgment about whether or not it's really appropriate to commence impeachment proceedings or whether those newly elected members of congress are going to push this thing further. so the question, again, is going to be who is running the show here. the inmates, you know, in the asylum or leadership. eric: the inmates would take issue when you describe them as inmates. you've got the status quo and ms. pelosi and steny hoyer and others. >> i think that issue is unresolved at the moment. i don't think we know where that's going. eric: great to have you. arthel. arthel: thank you. a confrontation at the southern border after mexican troops questioned two american army soldiers. the incident happening on the u.s. side of the border. jeff paul has more now from our west coast newsroom. hi, jeff. >> reporter: arthel, this reportedly somewhat tense exchange involved u.s. army soldiers who were conducting

border support operations, one week ago. in a statement, northern command says though they were south of the border fence, u.s. soldiers remained in u.s. territory, north of the actual border. after a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the mexican military members departed the area. throughout the incident the u.s. soldiers followed all established procedures and protocols. we're learning u.s. customs and border protection just awarded a contract to build soft sided temporary facilities in el paso and donna, texas. they say the processing facilities are at a breaking point. they're hoping the shelters help with the unprecedented number of families and unaccompanied children crossing the border each day but those who live in the impacted border towns have mixed feelings about the shelters. >> i think it's a good idea, because at least they don't -- they're not on the street. >> we can't accept everybody coming in seeking asylum, as much as we want to.

tents won't stop asylum seekers. we need immigration reform. >> reporter: the facilities are each expected to house up to 500 people and could be up and running may 1st. over in new mexico, they are calling on volunteers to help with migrants. around 230 migrants were transferred from local shelters tlos cruces high school. >> we need to give volunteers a break and an opportunity to reconstitute the shelters. >> reporter: the city said they accepted and served around 1300 asylum seekers and they're expecting even more this weekend. arthel: jeff paul. thanks, jeff. eric: former vice president joe biden gearing up to enter the white house race next week. the campaign is expected to cast him as an extension of the obama presidency and that political movement. but is there room for uncle joe

arthel: former vice president joe biden is set to announce his white house bid next week and reports say he is aiming to proper tray his campaign as an extension of his former boss' legacy. polls showing mr. biden will enter the race at the democratic front run frontrunner but he wio fend off at least 18 other contenders for the nomination. antoine seawright is a former advisor to hillary clinton and founder and ceo of blueprint strategy. eric beach is a republican strategist and chairman of the super pac great america

alliance. glad to have both of you. >> thank you. >> happy saturday. arthel: happy saturday. happy easte ease saturday. let's establish your interpretation of what it means to campaign as an extension of president obama's legacy. tell us if this strategy will work for vice president biden. >> well, let's be bee be clear. there's only one barack obama. there's only one joe biden. these reports about joe biden trying to be like barack obama are only reports. arthel: where is it coming from then? >> where does any information come? maybe the internet. there's only one person who can really talk the talk and walk the walk from the obama legacy, the obama presidency, and that's joe biden because he was the number two to barack obama for eight years. he was america's most trusted vice president at the time. and one of the most dependable

allies for the obama administration. so if he does campaign on the successes they enjoyed for eight years, what better person to do that than barack obama, than joe biden. but joe biden has his own legacy within our party. that's what people love about him. that's why he's so valued and appreciated and many people want to drive in the joe biden lane in the democratic primary. arthel: eric, what do you sunshine. >> joe biden has two problems. first, it's joe biden. he's gaffe prone, there's a certain creepiness about him that he needs to address. in the democratic primary, i feel he won't get through it in today's environment. he's not barack obama. when you're running in this type of praof primary, you'll need te better on the campaign trail. he doesn't have the resume as barack obama did as a campaigner. if you close your eyes and look at policies of barack obama versus donald trump, how it

betters america, is he going to he defend the iran deal, talk about the paris accord or open boreers, what will the policies be in the democratic primary. i think he'll be between a rock and a hard place. >> he can defend the most important issue that's on the mind of voters and that's the affordable care act. he can be a chairman for that, which he helped usher through the congress. he can defend the fact he is middle class messenger in chief joe biden. he brought some of the rust belt states that we lost in 2016, that's why you see the candidates in our party who want to drive in the middle class lane because they know at the end of the day more voters are attracted to that for the long-term health of our party than they are to the opposite. >> i'm not sure about that. the new york times said is joe biden the face, white male, the face of the democratic party. this idea that you're running in the past -- arthel: he's the face of the

current president. he can't be all that bad. >> here's the thing -- joe biden enjoys -- arthel: rob:arthel: are you finished wh your point? hurry up. we've got a glint he comes in as a frontrunner. he's been known to be gaffe-prone. arthel: is there a new standard for that in this climate in which we live? >> yeah. >> donald trump is president. >> donald trump is president because he has a middle class message that resonates with middle america. joe biden doesn't speak that language. your party doesn't speak that language anymore. who he is going to take on? he's not going to take a moderate position in the democratic primary. he has to run to the left. arthel: antoine, i give 20 seconds. how does vice president biden strike a balance between no, sir take gentleman and the -- nost

algi and brand-new candidacy. >> he's got to remain authentic and honest. he will be okay. there's more people that enjoy the policy agenda of joe biden than the picture that the right wing tries to paint in their party. arthel: got to go. back in a minute. many people living with diabetes
