wagons, like maybe joe shouldn't be their candidate. this is corruption, bribery, money laundering. these are not trumped up charges, these are things that happened while in office, leveraging his position to enrich himself and his family. there is information coming out, suspicious activity reportses, all the pieces are coming together. bribery is criminal and impeachable. i urge kevin mccarthy and our colleague to support impeachment. if we put this on the table, you'll see a lot of senators who want to talk about the truth, they have to look at this impeachment and realize this is not the type of person who should be serving our nation and be commander-in-chief. that is what we're facing now,

>> ashley: senator bernie sanders down playing concerns of president biden's age as he runs for re-election. >> it's clearly an issue for many voters when did it comes to president biden. do you have advice you he should persuade concerns about his age. >> when people look at a candidate or joe biden or trump or anybody else, they have to evaluate a whole lot of factors, at the end of the day, what we have got to ask ourselves is what do people stand for? so, age is an issue, chuck, but

there are a lot of broader issues than just that. >> joe: joe concha is a fox news contributor and contributor to the messenger. what do you make of a wishy washy weird comment like that from bernie sanders? >> i think it was ridiculous question hey, you are old. can you give the other old guy, who unlike you, isn't aging very well, who unlike you doesn't seem to have his faculties anymore, advice? tim russert in a billion years would never ask that questions. it's his decisions on all the spending that he has done as far as inflation is concerned. that's an issue. that's a bigger issue. the fact that district attorney also not enforce the law in american major cities run by democrats. that is a big issue. it's the fact that kamala harris is the border czar yet the border remains wide open. 7 million people crossed into this country illegally. that's a national security crisis by the way. that's an issue.

so i didn't like the question to begin with. and i'm sorry, it's a copout when you talk about joe biden and you just point to age, it's the decisions being made regardless of age that is why he is polling lower than any president in history at this stage of his presidency, ashley and todd. >> ashley: yeah, it's on an individual basis. not everyone at biden's age acts like him or makes the decisions he makes it. does need to be individualized for sure. biden's advisers are reportedly fuming at california governor gavin newsom's plans to debate ron desantis, an adviser telling nbc news it's disrespectful, joe biden is running with kamala harris, that's right the democratic ticket. so what is it because newsom already endorsed biden? how do they know that's the ticket? r.f.k. jr. could make his way up there, easily? >> oh, easily. the at least gavin newsom is debating. unlike this president in joe biden who apparently the dnc says cannot debate under any circumstances, that's a whole

bowl of wrong just like it's wrong that donald trump didn't debate last week, these are nominations, not coronations and gavin newsom clearly is plan b for the democrats if joe biden decides he cannot run because his vice president in kamala harris and that's why people are talking off the record to the people like msnbc news outlets like msnbc, obviously is not an option, given how low she is polling at this point, which is even lower than the president, which we just discussed is the lowest in history. gavin newsom, if joe biden is told not to run that's the guy you will see on the ticket can i guarantee you. despite the fact hey the burden of proofer sticker will be make america california which is something you don't want necessarily for him it's looks, it's smile. and it's presentation. never record because you go -- if you judge gavin newsom by his record that's something you don't want to run on. >> i know democratic candidates need to beat up on each other to win the nomination. capitalize on infighting.

spotlight in the tiny tiny bench in the california party and how they are trouble figuring out what to do next. vivek ramaswamy had an interesting exchange with cnn's dana bash as he defended his remarks about squad member ayanna pressley. this after she attacked we don't want any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice. >> how are in any way your views talking about comparable to the views and atrocities committed by the kkk. >> the grand wizards of the kkk would be proud to hear what she has to say. nothing more racist than saying that your skin color predicts something about the content of your voice or your idea. >> you didn't say. >> for ayanna pressley to tell me because of my skin cholera express my views it is wrong and divisive. >> that is a debate. >> final thoughts, joe? >> well, i have no idea why anybody would go on cnn at this point. did you go there not for an

interview and to discuss issues. it's to debate somebody from the democratic party. and danna barb clearly is an activist more than an journalist at this point. martin luther king says we need to judge people by character not the color of their skin. that is vivek ramaswamy's point at this point. in that interview and he did very well there as he always does in interviews. he is not afraid to go anywhere. >> he did. all right, joe concha, thank you, with that "fox & friends" starts right now have. a good day. >> thank you. ♪ devon archer met with, then, secretary of state john kerry back in 2016. that's one powerful friend of hunter's. their alleged meeting came just weeks before ukraine's top
