joe biden is above where jeb bush was. aw do we know if joe biden is jeb bush or a mitt romney?e biden is in a stronger position for two reasons. one is that the base of the democratic party, there was a poll that asked them what voters are looking for. the number one answer was an obama style democrat. looking to turn away from bush. our internal poll showed that president bush was not that popular among primary voters. joe biden has that going for him. strong base has a among african-american voters. jeb bush did not have any equivalent a sizable base to build from within the republican primary electorate. i am impressed with joe biden's poll numbers and how they have stayed strong in the face of attacks coming his way. i think while it is early, we can learn that biden is stronger than what the conventional wisdom was when he first got in. >> right now, it looks like president trump is deciding that one of the important battlegrounds is trade. most of the criticism is coming from the republican side. ?s this an awkward issue the democrats historically have tended to be more p

you are sitting and said she's getting jeb bush acid reflux with joe biden.he feels joe biden needs to prove himself. david axelrod said when you have a septuagenarian candidate, you have to prove you are up to it. age is a legitimate question. >> absolutely. >> like john berman running around the city this morning. nobody can beat him. >> they locked the door and i still got in. i spilled water on myself, but i got in. >> i'll have to try harder tomorrow. >> i proved something to no one there. i want to play this moment. one thing joe biden hasn't done to date that much is interact with reporters, answer questions. he hasn't done an interview since he announced for president. now he's beginning to take questions from the press. yesterday he was pressed on his flip-flops. >> the triple axelrod. >> on the hyde amendment. we have subtitles because we are looking at the back of his head. >> that was more clear to you at the end of last week than the beginning of last week? >> yeah. don't be a wise guy. yes, exactly right. i didn't consult with anybody but me on

somebody said fascinated with jeb bush. nobody has ever been fascinated with jeb bush. i'm sorry. you're really reaching with that message. nobody has ever been fascinated with jeb bush. but let me ask you. this do you think you got stuff on biden? bernie is sort of his own open book. he is an old line socialist. if you don't like, that you can always yell that at him. but i wonder if you can go after buttigieg. he is a young guy, he didn't have a record. he is openly gay. he is married. he puts it all on the table. what would be the negative on a guy like that? i don't get it. what's the oppo? >> i don't know what they've got -- sorry, is that for charlie? >> charlie first, then you. >> well, look, we watch these guys over the last two years. they will come up with something on each and every one of these candidates. this is one of the benefits of having an alternative reality, an incredible echo machine out there to be able to do that. you may have this on two tracks. you may have, you know, the trump campaign saying we're not going go after pete buttigieg's personal life, and t

jeb bush announced june 16th. people don't remember like why did trump all of a sudden just say, oh, let's do june 15th. it's because you guys had this elaborate rollout in miami for the big jeb bush candidacy, and he was going to step on your announcement, and it worked. >> at a school with a massive latino population. >> the largest in the country. >> with a message of education reform and inclusion and immigration reform and building a new republican party and a new america, and an image he didn't seem quite happy with. >> why didn't you guys beat him by the way? >> lack of votes largely. >> and low energy. very low energy. >> it is astounding that since that day, leigh ann, pretty much every week -- it was sort of this week we're in the, oh, my god, he would take foreign government. last week it was the blazing saddles tariff, which is stop or i'll shoot myself. the week before that, it was the "uss john mccain." we can keep going, but when people say how come there isn't outrage over donald trump, this is act

at this point four years ago jeb bush was the polling nominee. ked at 18 years of polling data to see who was leading in june. only four became the nominee and just one became president, bush. just a few of the greatest hits, guys. jimmy carter was at 18%. and it's just interesting scott walker was at 16.5%. a guy named donald trump was at 3%. >> and you lift that with rudy giuliani -- >> and is there anything in this history or is it in such a different world now because the amount of exposure and candidates? >> first of which we look at movements. and when we look at the morning consul poll as an example only two of the candidates have actually improved their lead since january. so that's important. one of which is biden and the other pete buttigieg, those two. the other thing i look at is the last cycle. i think trump led in 77% of polls and 99% of them once he got in by early to mid-july. and obviously hillary was leading 91% of them. so there is a i think significant insight to having this lead if you were able to expand it, but it's a long w

rightt now, he's giving me jeb bush ashley fox acid reflux. >> tucker: jeb bush? not a good sign.d democrats feel uncomfortable about this? this is the party's frontrunner. richard again, former advisor to both bill and hillary clinton. hehe joins us tonight. richard, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: what do you think he remains the front runner a year from now? >> you know, i asked people if they have to put money down on biden or the field, people who really know politics -- and frankly, i almost get a 50/50 kind a of answer, some people ae persuaded the democrats are so focused on electability, and frankly if someone had told you two months ago before joe biden announced that he would be ahead of donald trump not just nationally by 8-9 points but in texas and north carolina whereio the most recent polls had him ahead, it almost boggles the mind. but still if someone told you that, they would go, wow. he's obviously done something right. and yet, i will concede the way he's going about this campaign does leave something to be desired. i do

republican strategist who worked on the jeb bush campaign. former director of the new york state democratic party. tim miller, republican strategist and former rnc deputy communications director and steve israel, and dcc chairman, director of the cornell university institute of politics and global affairs. i want to go to you first, matt, because you worked for jeb bush. you walked into that 2015 gop primary debate, having done all your homework, everything right, prepared for that stage and then you realized donald trump is there and it is a steel-cage match and all bets are off. is that what joe biden walked into last night? >> absolutely. i think he had this aura coming in, deserved or not, that not only could he take donald trump in a general election. last year he said he would beat the hell out of him. he is a nimble debater, can hold a room. we saw it in 2008 and 2010. maybe more worrisome if i was him, he was completely unprepared for that attack. this wasn't something that was obscure from 40 years ago he did. this happened last week

right now he's giving me jeb bush acid reflux. i want to see him pull it together. he's got time to -- >> he's going on tuesday. is that good enough? >> we are spending the next two days talking about how sanders and warren combined are besting him. >> he doesn't have the fire in the belly from some of the other candidates out there day in, day out. clearly biden has the name recognition. no one wants an anointed nominee. you have to earn it. you have to win over the voters with policy, with ideas. obviously with an agenda to beat president trump. it requires more than that. the question is can voters retain 23 different candidate policies? it looks like that's not the case now. that's why you are seeing a certain handful at the top tier. >> what he brings to the table is the idea that he's the one best positioned to beat donald trump. in order to carry the message through he needs to prove he's a good candidate. >> i will tell you what i heard from you was fascinating. the fire in the belly and the jeb bush acid reflux combination is tough for joe biden. david axel

his dispatched jeb bush and marco rubio. this poll that you heard kristin referred to, the quinnipiac poll has the former vice president joe biden leading the president by nine points. it's still way early. it does echo similar polls that we've seen in a couple of battleground states and leads that are shared by rivals of joe biden including bernie sanders. what does karl rove think of this? how do you handicap it right now? >> well, look, it's very early. until the -- the race won't solidify until the president faces an opponent. these polls do point to the fact that they have to do some work. my sense is they understand that. one of the hidden stories about today's rally is how they will use the data of the 100,000 people that signed up to come to help build their florida army. each one of those people unlike four years ago will be carefully cataloged so they know their name, address, e-mail number, cell phone number. they're going to then follow up with them so that they draw them actively into their organization. tonight

as a former jeb bush spokesman, it was in florida the candidate trump took out your guy, marco rubio, two favorite sons, that was all she wrote on the way to the nomination. it's a bit more difficult path than the general election for president, given some state polls. he is holding his own in florida, is that right? >> absolutely. this is a must-win state. the last president elected without florida was calvin coolidge in 1924. he had a strong base going back into the republican primary, going back to 2016. one keynote he is doing rally in orlando, i-4 corridor, probably the swing part of this state where there has been influx of puerto ricans and many new voters into the state. he needs to win that area to make sure he wins the state and win the election. neil: kelly jane, very, very early, i always stress that, we go on what we have for the moment, for the moment we have the president in a heap of polling trouble in big states he won last time, took from the democratic electoral column to the republican column. early though it is, he is in trouble in those states and given the econo

about his showing up in orlando but again there were 2 florida florida homeboys marco rubio and jeb bush in 2016 that trump was able to beat and so i think he's trying to continue that getting in florida and keeping florida in his playing field something is going to go on to go back to the huge field of democrats they've got quite a large field in fact who is most likely to trump and 2020. i know this is asking you to go down there are a whole the question you know i've had a couple theories. you know i've had a couple of theories on this i know it's pretty difficult i think it's going to have to be a big name so you know it's funny when the polls come out we're seen joe biden leading pretty well i actually said that i didn't think joe biden would be would be a real contender for trump or anything what did that trump would be worried about because of course it was joe biden as vice president to barack obama that allowed trump to get elected in the 1st place so it's kind of surprised to see the polls favoring biden harris of course has been doing pretty well so we'll see how she does i ac

the early polls in the republican race in 2016, if they'd been correct we would've had candidate jeb bushht! i agree with you. i have to get a break here but it is ridiculous. we haven't even had the first debate. after the next break, the dnc saysno presidential debates for fox . it is to partisan, what's going on up here? can't see what it is yet. what is that? that's a blazer? that's a chevy blazer? aww, this is dope. this thing is beautiful. i love the lights. oh man, it's got a mean face on it. it looks like a piece of candy. look at the interior. this is nice. this is my sexy mom car. i would feel like a cool dad. it's just really chic. i love this thing. it's gorgeous. i would pull up in this in a heartbeat. i want one of these. that is sharp. the all-new chevy blazer. speaks for itself. i don't know who they got to design this but give them a cookie and a star. >> nbc announced moderators for the first pair democratic presidential debates. they are lester holt, savannah guthrie, chuck dad, josc diaz -- and rachel maddow. essentially, just endorsed impeachment. >> i think this is a

. >> i will not talk about jeb bush. i will not say he's low energy. i will not say it. >> for the first time ever all the unforgettable trump hits are together inve yun one must-have collection. greg presents the best of trump. >> t we'll build the wall. and who's going to pay for the wall? >> i would like to introduce my co-host, kat timpf. >> today i'm excited to look back on the voice that defined this era. >> donald supported the invasion much iraq. >> wrong. >> wrong. >> wrong. >> i am officially running for president of the united states and we are going to make our country great again. >> this collection brings back so many great memories, like before my wife left me for geraldo. kat: with more than 10,000 hours of content we'll be transformed back to those iconic moments. before if you wanted this much trump would have to watch the news 24/7 and ignore your family completely. >> my son still won't talk to me. but now i can get the classics like get him out of here. >> get him out of here please, out. out. go home to mommy. >> how was your nap,

international law it's about power it's use and abuse not justice and its implementation so what jeb bush has been saying all along is forget about what they told you in the past forget about what their leaders tell you forget about what your own instinct tells you this is the reality and we cannot simply bestow some certain legitimacy on the reality which is called occupation of palestine but with this you know you asked from the beginning if we get can give a certain context but i would really like to give this context to you and or viewers around the world and i would like to connect that with just the previous story you see the same people who are now sending this. plan are the same people who are basically we have behind the killing.

right now he is giving me jeb bush acid reflex. >> tucker: not a good sign.mocrats be uncomfortable about this. richard was an advertiser to hillary clinton. thanks for coming on. biden is the frontrunner. what do you think the chances are he remains the frontrunner a year from now? >> i asked people if they had to put money down on biden or the field, people who really know politics. i guessed a 50-50 answer. some people are persuaded that the democrats are so focussed on electability. if someone told you 2 months before joe biden announced that he would be ahead of donald trump not just nationally but in texas and north carolina. that boggles the mind. if someone told you, they would go wow! he's done something right. yet, i will concede the way he's going about this campaign does leave something to be desired. i do not fault him for not showing up in iowa for his grand-daughter's graduation. >> tucker: he had tragedies in her life and he was very close to her. people should cut him slack there. >> tucker: what is he running on exactly? he is against trump.

he making jeb bush look like energy buzzy. kennedy: what is better creepy or sleepy? >> i think sleepy for joe biden, president last week, accomplished more than joe biden has in his public career in public service, president is using unconventional ways to solve problems like the protecting our southern border, putting tear -- the threat of putting tariffs on mexico. mexico. mexico. >>> see why is president reportedly worried about his numbers again joe biden. >> he is not worried. we could look at polls they are all wrong. kennedy: joe biden said that president trump is a extend extl threat, i think hyperbole, others who have resorted to that, have failed. >> i agree, he initiated that this morning with the speech, that is the questio asked of dod trump today. >> i like those two nicknames, but i thought i heard 1% joe today as well, that could be something. what he will run on. kennedy: i think bernie sanders would like that one as well. >> right. >>ly -- like biden will present a challenge for trump, people like him, i don't like him, you don't like him, but peopl

i think joe biden is sort of in the position that jeb bush was back then. joe biden is a presumptive run away leader, but what if somebody like mayor pete or somebody like possibility kamala harris can really catch fire with the progressive left. notice how, leland, joe biden is not in california today. joe biden is in another state, all of the hard left progressives are out there in california and the progressives are going to be determining who the democratic nominee is going to be in 2020. biden's got to walk a tightrope. leland: you're talking about the democratic convention out in northern california. we've got a crew out there, we are going to check with them a little later in the show. back to joe biden, who is trying to set himself up as, as you point out, the presumptive nominee, bide be versus trump. here is what bill maher had to say about biden. >> i have mixed feelings with joe. but if he's the one to beat trump i'm all in. but i do worry, joe doesn't look good. he looks like he's on a coin. leland: fair criticism? >> yeah, i mean, he's been in

remember that jeb bush and some republicans thought that was a coronation.linton was a coronation. we just gave them too much energy too soon. >> yeah. i mean, comparing the last republican race to this one, it's apples to oranges. it's a good strategy for vice president biden. increasingly, he's not in step with the partyideologically. if he is able to show he can have back and forths and appear the strongest, that can appeal to democratic primary voters that want to defeat president trump. that's their ultimate goal. >> the backdrop to this schoolyard brawl was the polls just released. it had surprising takeaways. including all six democrats, head-to-head against trump, led him in that head-to-head match-up, including cory booker who hasn't resonated so well and pete buttigieg, under 40 and leading the president. what's your takeaway when you dive inside the numbers a little bit. >> there's a difference between the candidates as to who they are, and what they stand for. you look at where the president is. 42, 41, 40. that's a consistent trend. that's not g

communications director for jeb bush, you found the super pac. let's get to the wall. kamala anti-trump. kamala harris's strong stage shows why she could be the anti-trump democrats have been waiting for. >> as the only black person on this stage, i would like to speak on the issue of rights. >> there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bussed to school every day. and that little girl was me. >> hey, guys, you know what? america does not want to witness a food fight, they want to know how we're going to put food on their table. >> i thought that food fight line really established it. >> absolutely. it was the food fight line in which she took control of the stage amongst ten candidates, right. and three moderators and she took control of the whole thing. that to me was well not more than the biden moment, but before the biden moment, that was the moment she took control of the debate and showed, like, wow, she's something else. >> emily, you've heard me say this all the time. this is all about fi

right now he's giving me jeb bush acid reflux. >> i have always known the thought on this issue. >> a flip-flop, a flip, flop, flip, never a good thing in politics and raises questions about his own performance. >> laura: don't you get the sense that the fix is in for biden. i'm getting that slow roll feeling. ralph, that -- that this is ultimately not going to end well for him. people think he's a shoo-in for the nomination. i'm not so sure. >> i'm going to -- i'm going to let them figure out who their nominee is. i'm not in the prediction business, but, laura, i'll tell you this, you go back and look at how hillary clinton flip-flopped on her support for the iraq war, on the support for the tpp, the pacific trade agreement, which she said was the gold standard, and then changed her position entirely. >> laura: yeah. >> on the crime bill, which biden also supported and he's beginning to flip-flop on, it raises the question of someone who lacks core beliefs. >> laura: he can't do it. >> it will hurt him in the general. >> laura: you can't do it. you can't be so play tent about it. tha

. >> does have to worry about being the 2020 version of jeb bush with skyhigh expectations that are impossible i think it's a little bit early in the process to call him jeb but that to take many people have. >> takes a lot. >> stick around for fox news sunday, chris wallace is at the top of the hour. tonight 8:00 p.m. tucker carlson has an exclusive interview with president trump. you will not want to miss it. >> prince harry duchess megan giving a royal treatment. more on the historic major-league basil game in london after the spring but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? (gasp) (singsong) budget meeting! sweet. if you compare last quarter to this quarter... various: mmm. it's no wonder everything seems a little better with the creamy taste of philly, made with fresh milk and real cream. thanks to priceline working

. >> i point you back to candidate donald trump running against the heir apparent, jeb bush. when he called him "low energy," that stuck. people started looking at him and saying, he is kind of low energy on the trail, and it's a marketing ploy. one of the most prominent things that the president said was about china. he pointed back to his statement in may where biden said china is no competition. he said china is going to eat our lunch. come on, man. they are not competition. today, he walked that back. he said we need to get tough with china. they are a serious challenge, and in some areas, a real threat. if he's going to keep doing that, i think the president is going to attack him all day long. >> dana: you see it is not that he is the only opponent that joe biden would have, even though they seem to go at it daily against each other. there are 20 odd other democrats, who are trying to take little swipes at him. the flipping is one of them. there was the hyde amendment on abortion. the economy is so good. presidents running for reelection are always in a very strong posi

. >> with the highly educated jeb bush or mitt romney types, or hillary clinton, the ivy leaguers, why did they choose trump over them? >> he's good at what he does. he picks at things and that makes them want to come out and vote, but it's empty promises. >> i want to talk about the trump voters. you voted for trump. if you put up that stuff because you like something else, for example, he calls people names. all the things you told your kids not to do. don't make fun of people's appearances. don't be a bully. don't lie. tell the truth. do you think he lives up to the standard you set for your family? >> not necessarily, but then again, you don't have to like everybody. he's showing results. i run a small business now. my numbers are growing. they are growing so well, i am able to add staff. when i add staff, that makes the business grow more. >> what are kicked it into gear? the lower taxines or the deregulation? >> people getting employed and getting higher wages and getting out and spending money. >> what did he do to make that happen? >> he talked to industries and companies and g

he once was, that he slowed down, that he's low energy, which, of course, is what he said about jeb bushok, i think it's ridiculous if we play into donald trump's hands by repeating the 8th grade bully nicknames he wants to throw around against his most feared opponents. the reason joe biden wasn't in iowa on friday, it was his daughter's birthday and granddaughter's high school graduation. i think the american people know joe biden. they know his heart and his values. and they respect the fact that rather than being at an important campaign event if iowa, he was at a more important family event in delaware. i would frankly expect the average voter to question his priorities if he had missed his daughter's high school graduation at an event where he would speak five minutes. i think it's important he has been campaigning vigorously. he has been to each of the critical early primary states already. he has been doing events all over the countries respect his campaign launched in philadelphia, i thought laid out a positive and clear path forward for his candidacy. i couldn't disagree more w

i was frustrated when president obama last election cycle went after ted cruz, jeb bush, ben carson, brutally went after them and went after donald trump later. in japan during the same election cycle. i didn't like it then, i don't like it now but i would like to see more consistency in the media when they enforce this very goodwill. >> kim jong un, accused in media reports of executing his negotiating team. someone who worked for the last two residents are the media on target saying this is donald trump shattering -- >> it is anything dignity of the office to quote kim jong un in the united states or foreign soil but in donald trump's defense i will say there is new ground rules as you just said. he has broken a lot of norms. is it surprising he said this? know. it fits perfectly with the trump doctrine which is not just america first but donald trump first. this is what he was doing on the world stage. he saw an opportunity to bring up politics in a way that hurt his political opponent and he took it. >> trump supporters on my twitter feed say biden is dumb but that is not the poi

recall jeb bush's moves during the republican primary and by putting himself in front of the midwestern he needs to win over, there's some optic advantage to that. rob: all right. absolutely. guys, thank you so much for coming on this morning. we appreciate your time. biden has a big lead right now. we know that much. thanks. carley: the time now, 53 minutes after the hour. here's something to put a little spring in your step. one big city wants commuters to trade in their scooters for pogo sticks. todd piro can tell you firsthand it's harder than it looks. ♪ jump around. ♪ jump around. ♪ jump around. ♪ jump, jump up and get down. ♪ -i'm sorry? -what teach here isn't telling you is that snapshot rewards safe drivers with discounts on car insurance. -what? ♪ -or maybe he didn't know. ♪ [ chuckles ] i'm done with this class. -you're not even enrolled in this class. -i know. i'm supposed to be in ceramics. do you know -- -room 303. -oh. thank you. -yeah. -good luck, everybody. . . we see two travelers so at a comfort innal with a glow around them, so people watching will be like, "wow, may

it seemed like a jeb bush moment, what did donald trump say about him, no energy and all, i didn't thinkt was a fair rap. it was the image that stuck out, didn't seem lost, confused, didn't know directly how to respond. wanted to get out of buzzer before the time was up. i don't know something which he can come back. now, because that image is out there then. i don't think it is a fair rap against old guys in this race, especially when i get close to being that old guy but i wonder if it is going to feed, just as the president's attacks on jeb bush fed a narrative what do you think? >> absolutely does. you know, "sleepy" joe, last night i agree with you, it seemed like somebody had said to me, seemed like he wasn't quite present. have you ever heard somebody at a debate say, oh, i think my time is up. people in the twitterverse took that metaphorically. that is not the image that joe biden wants to put out there. he wants to project, forward thinking, future, positive image of the united states. and his performance said anything but that last night. so i thought it was a very damaging ni

if they did, we would have had presidents rudy giuliani, gary hart, lieberman, and jeb bush.ential polling at this time of year is that it super, super matters it's really important. in part because it's how the candidates get into different debates. tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. "the des moines register" the going to release its pole of the democratic field, the gold standard of polling in iowa. in addition to providing a snapshot of voter preferences, this will be used by the dnc to see which democratic candidates nails down a slot. one of the 20 available slots in the first debate. and all of that put together is why this weekend, i kid you not, 19 different democratic candidates are all going to be in iowa at the same time. there will be no room for iowans in iowa this weekend. it's going to be democrats running for president. 19 of them all at once. pray for good weather, right? one of the 19 has decided to start living in iowa. mary ann williamson signed a lease on a des moines condo, i kid you not. the one absence from this weekend's democratic presidential candidate act

also with us mike murphy, former senior adviser to mitt romney, john mccain and jeb bush and co hostthe podcast which launches tomorrow. and president at the center for american progress. what a great collection. let me go first to you. i can't believe you are going across country. i want to be on that ride, as they say. elizabeth warren for all the talk that she was damaged by the president's tweets and all that pocahontas stuff, she is doing so well in iowa. you know that state. you spent months and months in iowa in previous cycles. tell us what it means for her to be breaking past bernie sanders among liberal voters. >> reporter: >> elizabeth warren really took the lead on this among the democratic field. back in march a couple weeks after amazon pulled out of what would be their second headquarters over in long island city. after there was much pushback from local officials over their move in which they would be receiving a $3 billion worth of government incentives, also amazon was not agreeing to some particular labor agreements that locals were looking for over in new york cit

. >> i think that comparison, biden is focused on early fundraising in jeb bush raised hundreds of millionsarly on in his campaign providing sticking to close wealthy fiber under private fundraisers. the other 2020 candidates are nurse into nervously waiting for it to jump in. now he's been in for couple months the readings are checking in. jon: elizabeth warren is out every week with some new policy proposal. what are we hearing from joe biden? >> that is an interesting question. he is been rely on policy specifics. it seems like his campaign is trying to write out his recognition, his old boss barack obama remains a pretty popular former president and extremely popular among democrats. right now, not wanting to get to specific compulsive but the problem is, the hyde amendment issue is he is not briefed or considered what his real position is on abortion he will have a gap in other candidates will jump on that. >> you mentioned barack obama in yesterday joe biden tweeted this message, happy best friends day my friend barack obama and then there is this picture of a friendship bracelet with

republicans in the suburbs who are sick of the chaos in the trump duration, but i keep thinking about jeb bushaid he was going to try to win the primary by winning the general. he never got off the ground. at least joe biden is in the cat bird's seat right now. the question is whether or not he can stay there and whether this issue is one that's going to bull him from his perch because people are so -- in such a different place for him on this which is genuine. he has had this position for 40 years. he does not believe taxpayer dollars should be used for abortions. >> to that point. let's go back and listen to one of the criticism from biden from the other democrats you've been around too long. some that have is raising his age and some of that is raising his views. the party has moved on. they believe the country has moved on. we don't know that. but if you're bernie sanders or alexandria ocasio-cortez, you think the country is ready for medicare for all. you think the country is ready for a more -- get rid of the hyde amendment. we don't know that. listen to biden way back when he was runnin

>> that is a good question for hillary clinton and jeb bush.t biden is doing is running on a very specific kind of nostalgia. the problem is that it opens the door for people saying, if you want the talk about the past, about your record, you don't just get to talk about the eight years in the white house. we have to look at your senate record. that's not necessarily what we're doing. we do see democrats talking more and more about it. and i think they have said basically behind the scenes, we're not going to do it until the debate stages but they're going after him in a very explicit way by name on the debate stage. they have to soon. >> i can imagine. you look at booker there. they are all rehearsing their lines for the moment when they can turn to biden and say explain this. one of the interesting variables, they're not all going to be on the stage with biden. two nights, if you're in that ten, it is not on the stage with biden. tough cookies. >> that's the way it goes. they are going to take everything out. it will include not just video fr

. >> and joining me now is al c cardenas and former adviser to jeb bush, and also, a joining us is aecture from the university of austin, and thank you, both. what does this image say to us as americans and to the republican party frankly. >> look. last year, canada which is 1/10th of the population accepted more refugees than the united states. it is unconscionable, and frankly, i have lived this nightmare for over 50 years and so have you. you came and covered the elian gonzalez saga as his mother was trying to come for freedom. and i also lived through the loved ones eaten in the florida straits by sharks. and maybe people don't get or they are numb no desperation a allows one to risk thak lives of children for freedom. and this is begging for action of america. i hope that the sacrifice that family made wakes us up even more to taking immediate action, and these children center, and the administration calls them unaccompanied and what 2-year-old children would come here unaccompanied? they were separated from the loved ones and we have lost track of them and now look at the condi

. >> last time around on republican side jeb bush was inevitable nominee started out with a big lead,what happened there. could history repeat itself? >> the question right now is whether biden is going to be a jab and look inevitable and fall apart or if he's going to be, you know, more of a trump candidate who was able to survive attack after attack in no controversy after controversy and still get the nomination. right now we don't have that answer. but you know, we couple of months back big issue of biden touching women without consent sometimes kissing them without their consent, that seem pretty devastating but it really did nothing long-term in materials of biden poll numbers. whether him talking about dealing with segregation, segregation says it is an era of stability, it is a better time. you know whether that's going to sink him, i don't know. clearly in south carolina, at least, the thinking is with the large black democratic vote he could be in trouble biden has a history of saying and doing comfortable things regards to race. he, of course, infamously said president obam
