round two between candice owens and cornell west ahead. and plus, dirsch and sol wisenberg are here. and we are the only one to bring you details of african migrants being dumped in san antonio texas. tonight a exclusive follow up where they could be send next. first, age and rage in 2020. that is the focus of tonight's angle. let's face it. joe biden is a primary candidate on the ropes. since may, his real clear politics lead among democrats has dropped by nearly ten points. he's also nursing a dwindling lead in the all-important state of iowa. a des moines register cnn poll has him down eight points since december. so it's not surprise that biden's camp is scrambling to triage his reputation as his political star dims. and biden has flip-flopped on the federal funding of abortion and he's embraced the green new deal. today in a series of carefully controlled, smallest iowa events, biden attempted to take trump on directly. going to be a tough guy. but long before he delivered his remarks, biden leaked his comment to the media which provo

i want to talk about the public policy with cornell west. >>> dr.ice-president biden called senator booker last night. he still hasn't apologized for his comments. do you think he needs to? >> well, brother, i just first want to say that we are loving you. we're pulling for you. we're praying for you and i know you are as strong as ever. your mother was a warrior, love of life, joy, a beauty. we want you to know that. >> i appreciate that. she did. she lived a life of joy and beauty and love. so thank you. >> definitely. >> but, no, i think that brother biden is putting himself in a deeper hole. i think he ought to be ashamed. i think he has to recognize that all of us can make mistakes. nobody called him a racist. nobody said that he in any way was xenophobic in any serious manner. it's just a matter of saying certain things that hurt people. >> and so -- it can be cleared up by saying i'm sorry for that? >> that's right. all you have to say is, i believe in bipartisanship. i could have chosen many other examples, and then let's have a debate about

cornell west is here. also, john mcwhorter. good evening to both of you.cornell west and john, but john just showed up. john is just in the building. so thank you, gentlemen. let's have this conversation because it's a serious and important one. dr. west, you heard majority leader mitch mcconnell's arguments and many people, you know, make that same argument that slavery was 150 years ago. no one today is responsible. is that what reparations is about? >> no, no, no, reparations is about truth and it's about justice. condition of truth allows suffering to speak and justice says what does fairness look like in america? and i think that's precisely what we heard this morning. i thought brother coates was wonderful. i thought sister juliana malveaux was magnificent, danny glover was strong and cory booker was wonderful. and i must say that brother biden ought to be ashamed of what he said about brother cory. let me just put that out right now. it's the spirit of it. talking about reparations, brother john and i, for example, might disagree, but we recognize w

when you look at, from the 90s, the loss of a few late night talk shows, where else would you see cornell west or killer mike, for ice cube, where else would you see these radically different than the norm african- american experiences or voices if it were not for more. he had been more of an advocate then not. so i can take a dumb joke from an ally and tell him you know, that was a stupid joke. but i didn't want to see his show get cut off the air. what happens to all of the people who for my community may have a train of thought that is not given to them that speak directly from our community. so i wasn't willing to join the take bill down protest if it was just a bad joke, it was just a bad joke. i think we have now come to the point where there is a political meme, where people got angry because i complemented one of them, it was funny to me, i left. he made me a meme that was not complementary of me, but i appreciated his perspective, because it was different than mine. the people who follow me got angry because i left at a guy that they didn't like. whenever we get to the point where we

. >> cornel west is here. >> so i'm going to get to highlights and then our panel. but your bottom line of last night. what was it? >> the the head line, the takeaway is going to be a couple days from now after all the debates are over. but on the first night, they didn't go after joe biden. when you're sitting with 43% of the early states and they are not attacking you, that's an interesting dynamic. also for americans, this election is about one thing. it's about one man. it's about donald trump. and again, it was just a little congressional seat, but when i ran in 1994, we had 11 people in the field and i was the underdog. i never talked about one of them. i stayed laser focused on bill clinton. would you like some coffee? that's what you have to do. and last night they didn't go after biden. they didn't go after trump. and i think it was a missed opportunity. >> it got a little wayward at times. people may not want to hear, but jeff greenfield wrote a column about this last night. if you want the democrats to defeat donald trump, i'm very concerned by people emb
