judiciary says that committee and the justice department inspector general should also priority. >> bret: last thing, as you investigate. look at the democratic race >> political interference by the right now, a lot of angst on the president of the united states in the sentencing of a longtime coney in support of his is democratic side versus exactly the sort of thing that bernie sanders versus a centrist should alarm all of us about the or moderate role. what do you think if there was a rule of law. >> allies of the president say president bernie sanders if he democrats will never be set was elected over president trump aside. >> they might as well go ahead if he's the nominee? and call for every single >> you've got to worry about a nominee who is so attracted to the old soviet union years ago that his wife and him went to a registration of every single trump official because they'll honeymoon to moscow during the get to them officially. >> it's worth noting all these cold war. he's the real deal. comments were made before the what bothers me more is all the attorney general's big interview. it'll be interesting to see in rest of them sound very similar. the coming days some of these democrats change their tune they just don't describe themselves as socialists. about going after bill barr. they may call themselves moderates. bret? >> bret: mike emanuel live on if the definition of a moderate the hill. let's get some insight tonight. we are pleased to be joined by in the presidential democratic primary, they aren't for senate majority leader mitch medicare for all but the public mcconnell. thank you for being here. option, that means the public you heard about the option there will be only one attorney general and his concern about the president's tweeting, making it impossible to do his same direction, socialized job. your reaction to that? medicine. >> the president made a great i think they are all taking far

choice when he picked bill barr left positions and even though do the attorney general, i think the president should listen to bernie sanders get some credit for truth in labeling, they are his advice. >> bret: you have a problem with the tweeting as well? i think all heading in the same direction. >> bret: you have to have an >> maybe the presidential listen answer for the health care to the attorney general. >> bret: do you think his attack. coming time and time again, tweet about the opinion on the roger stone sentencing is iowa, new hampshire, there's not a republican answer yet. >> you mean on prescription inappropriate? >> the attorney general said drugs? >> bret: i mean over all. it's making him difficult to do his job. i think the president ought to fighting against obamacare and listen to thelaw enforcement ofs fighting against pre-existing conditions. the president on the state of the union says he's going to fight forn time. there's of the economy and not a the top person in the country. the president made a wide way forward. selection in picking bill barr >> use of the democrats couldn't pair they got to listen to him. even put on a caucus in iowa. >> u-value presented. i do not think you can put them are you concerned at all that in charge and health care. president trump in his mind has politicized of the department of >> bret: senator, we always appreciate your time. justice or this is become the it could be a battle of new normal for him? billionaires in november. >> i keep saying the same thing. we'll take a look at what mike bloomberg has to do to possibly >> bret: i'm talking about expand and take on president trump. you. >> i think the attorney general knows what he's talking about.

i'm not the attorney general but little things can become your big moment. i have confidence in bill barr. i think he's doing a good job that's why there's otezla. and i think he's told the otezla is not a cream. president, this is not helpful, making it difficult for him to it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. do his job. i think the president will with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. listen to it. >> bret: along the same lines, don't use if you're allergic to otezla. senator susan collins voted the way she voted in the impeachment it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. trial because she thought the president will have learned from this process. otezla is associated... ...with an increased risk of depression. she scaled that back a little tell your doctor if you have a history of depression... ...or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. bit. take a listen. >> i would hope that he would some people taking otezla reported weight loss. not do it again. >> why do you have the feeling your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. that he has changed? upper respiratory tract infection >> i may not be correct on that. and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines, it's more aspirational on my part. >> what lesson did you learn and if you're pregnant or planning to be. from impeachment? otezla. show more of you. >> the democrats are crooked. they do a lot of crooked things. they are vicious. they shouldn't have brought impeachment. my numbers are ten points higher. >> bret: do you think the president was chastened by the process at all or did you expect them to be? >> i will give you my opinion.

this would make impeachment more likely to be a routine matter and this is something the federalist papers and the founders made clear that they didn't want to happen and the fact that they are now mentioning the word impeachment again in connection with the attorney general only proves my point. i think the reason we got a solid vote against impeachment in the senate was that almost all of my members, if not all of them, maybe with one exception, felt that this was not an impeachable offense. the founders didn't want the house to constantly be doing impeachment resolutions because they had a policy difference or didn't like somebody. i think it's pretty clear the house democrats just don't like the president. >> bret: do you think senator collins and her explanation hurt her chances for reelection? >> i think senator collins is going to be reelected. i think she can handle this but doesn't need any advice for me what to say, i'm happy to speak on myself. >> bret: steve bannon writes about the president, he is mad

and he should be mad for the democrats and the media wasted the nations three years of time on a witch hunt and understands using the full power of the presidency, the pearl clusters better get used to it. do you think more is getting down the pipe? it's a masterstroke of heartache and redemption. >> i don't know. the president is different, as we know. the lexus nx. modern utility for modern obstacles. the fact he's different is awfully attracted to a lot of lease the 2020 nx 300 for $359 a month for 36 months. americans. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. we are going to have an election this november. that's the other argument. the america people from

>> bret: breaking tonight just seconds ago, president trump's press secretary responding to our top story that attorney general william barr once the president to stop tweeting about the justice department. barr says it's making his job "impossible to do." here's the statement from stephanie grisham moments ago,

the president wasn't bothered by the comments. he has the right like any american citizen to publicly offer his opinions. president trump uses his social media very effectively to fight for the american people against injustices in our country, including the fake news. the president has full faith and confidence in attorney general barr to do his job and uphold the law. officials privately say that the attorney general is also concerned about that sentencings politically down the powerful culinary union says it will not support any candidate. earlier this week, the union passed out flyers criticizing sanders' medor all plan. sanders issued a tweet this morning showing support for the union. president trump continues to talk presidential candidate mike bloomberg about a variety of

candidates including a support for stop and frisk policies and, yes, his height. correspondent kristin fisher has our report. >> he knows i have the record and resources to defeat him. >> mike bloomberg says he's willing to spend whatever it takes to beat president trump. even though the trump campaign has a record-breaking $200 million cash on hand, the bluebird campaign says the former mayor is willing to spend at least $2 billion, maybe more, of his roughly $60 billion fortune. this fight between the two new york businessman is just getting started. after the president said mini mike is a 5'4" behind their back, they call you a credible barking clown. >> call me at little mike, and, donald, from where we come from

they measure your height from the neck up. >> most of his democratic rivals are focused on south carolina. >> i think the voters in north carolina deserve just as much attention. this is a swing state we need to win in november. >> is part of his super tuesday strategy. skip the early states and go all in on the 14 delegate rich states that vote on march 3rd. never before tried tactic fueled by unprecedented nationwide ad buys. the real clear politics average has bloomberg in their place nationally behind only bernie sanders and joe biden. and all those polls came out before biden's implosion in new hampshire. but bloomberg's rise has been companied by a series of bad headlines they could hurt them with black voters, old comments are servicing of the former mayor defending stop and frisk, a controversial policing tactic he has sensed than announced,

mar >> i think the president is listening to these and majority leader. it seems like every time a dark cloud is lifted from the trump presidency, he literally, you know, the day after the mueller probe cleared him and inclusion of russia, he called the president of ukraine and asked him to investigate hunter biden which gave the democrat the pretext he needed to do the political impeachment. days after it is an acquittal, he starting a controversy over 9% approval but he's also got 63% economic approval which means there is 14% of the country that likes his economic country but doesn't approve of him. those people he can win over between now and november. he keeps alienating them because the reason they keep approving of him even that they like his

economic policies is all the chaos. >> bret: trump supporter's say that the sentencing was egregious, and president bombarded with investigations, and he feels aggrieved and wants to make that clear. >> he could pardon roger stone or commute his sentence after he gets one. he can expect that he has things that are within his rights to do. we've heard it so many times, republicans have begged him to stop tweeting. his wife even asked him to stop tweeting for her that's not going to happen. he doesn't want to stop. >> bret: it's different, to admit when the attorney general says it would be impossible to do my job. >> you would think so. you would think so. i can't imagine there's going to be much of a change. >> has a twitter yet? >> begging him to please cease and desist, and it sounds like the attorney general would come out where trump wanted him to come out anyway. >> do you think they would have medication where he says i'm

going to say something like th this? >> barr is a very smart operator and it would be very surprising if he surprised the president with this. barr is right, mcconnell is right about barr, and the president at least through stephanie grisham's statement has not indicated he wants to have a public fight with his attorney general. but there is as he suggested two issues. there is the inappropriateness of what the president said and there's also the question of the descendantsentence, there is evt they used not that they think he should not go to jail, they think you should go to jail for 3-4 years instead 7-9 years. >> do you think they were blindsided by the 7-then recommendation? spigot depending how far it went up. >> that's why bill barr is in

charge of all the political things that affect the president's friends? >> i got complaints with two people involved in the mueller investigation who thought that the lead attorney to withdraw himself from this was zealous, hostile, and connect the dots that were not there. >> bret: when questions about that, does that spur a question about a new trial and what the judge is going to do or not do? >> let it play out. the problem is the president interfering while the process is taking place. he has the power to pardon him, power to commute his sentence can reduce his sentence come he can do whatever he wants. let the process play out, if he doesn't like the outcome at the end, he's got the power to change it. >> he's a sore winner. >> bret: this has burned all kinds of questions and capitol hill including the house speaker with the iowa i word.>> the attorney general s dipped to low levels.

he lied to congress. that does not mean we are going to spend all of our time going into every time the administration henchmen make to the public of the united states. >> all they had was a mission to impeach and this is all they continue to drive. when the rest of america would like to move on from their nightmares they put us through. >> doesn't sound like she's going to start another impeachment. kevin mccarthy -- >> stirring the impeachment fires? >> that something that has worked for the president's base. but nancy pelosi feels that nothing has changed. the president's behavior hasn't changed so she's going to continue to criticize him. very hard to believe they start another impeachment. >> the impeachment from september to february. how fast can this one get started? it's impossible to believe that. but they've always wanted to use investigation as a way of weakening this president as he goes into reelection and they

are going to keep doing this. >> bret: whether it's this or some other investigation? >> 31 house democrats face palming right now because the idea -- this impeachment has been so bad for the house moderates who now have to run and trump districts that he won defending their vote on impeachment, the last thing they want is another impeachment whether trump or barr. >> bret: what is worse, another round of impeachment or bernie sanders at the top of the democratic ticket? here is sanders responding concerns to the democratic party about that. >> we understand that the campaign that can beat trump, the way to beat trump is by having the largest voter turnout and history of this country but if you look at iowa and new hampshire, 30% increase in voting for younger people, voting at a higher rate than ever in new hampshire, you saw us doing extremely well in working-class communities.

>> bret: another win, the culinary union in nevada says we are not going to endorse anybody. >> which was expected. it came after some pretty harsh words between them and the sanders campaign because the sanders campaign, the culinary union felt they were going after them in fairly and aggressively. bernie sanders talks about a 33% increase. 33% increase in voters aged 18-29. they are 1% of the electorate. no huge turnout in bernie sanders did not see a huge uptick. as a matter of fact, half or the last of the love he got. >> moderates were up. but to the point of lawmakers, the mimetic lawmakers on capitol hill behind us worried. it's red alert status. >> the reason they are worried because he's the guy who got the most votes in iowa and most most in new hampshire. you can make the argument that

pete buttigieg barely won the delegate race. they are may be corunners. bernie sanders is the front runner in this race. >> he forced so many positions that are nets unpopular in battleground states. >> $5 billion spent by the government, half of the american workforce working for the government if bernie sanders poss of his plane were put in place. >> bret: panel, thanks. when we come back, buzzer beater that one player will never forget. . . can my side be firm?
