and that could put biden over the top.shold in caucus halls that if you don't get 15 on the first vote you are out and those people have to reassign who they want to support, that's how the process works? >> exactly, that's where klobuchar -- if you look at the poll that came out, 55% of it would go to biden that could be another 4, 5 points for biden if she doesn't goat 15. paul: so how do you explain biden's stay in power so far, oneover the biggest stories. these are members of congress saying there's no way he's going to make it but here he is and if he wins iowa, he gets a lot of momentum and becomes a real favorite to win the nomination? >> well, good news is he hasn't gone down and the bad news is he hasn't gone up, he's not able to expand his base and his base of loyal, older, deeply committed democrats who know that he was a loyal vice president to president obama, has remained absolutely steady throughout this thing and will be a strong factor in this iowa race and any other primary. paul: he seems to have a theo

it's a very simple answer, he said the biden's. plural. not one biden, but the biden's. it is clear the president wanted what he wanted from ukraine and investigation to smear his political rival area even if the president wanted an investigation of hunter biden there is no basis for that either. now, how do you know? well, ukraine's former prosecutor general admitted that the allegation against vice president biden's son was plainly false. you can see it on the own words, plainly false. then ukrainian prosecutor general urate lutsenko recanted his earlier allegations and confirmed quote, biden was definitely not involved. in any wrongdoing involving burisma. so, even though ukrainians believed that biden's son did nothing wrong. the long and short of it is that there was no basis for the investigation that the president was pursuing and pushing, none. he was doing it only for his own political benefit. but let's look at one more important reason why it is clear that president trump simply wanted a political benefit from ukraine's announcement of this investigation and d

biden. even chris heinz his own business partner had grave concerns. he thought that working with marie's month - - burisma is unacceptable. he was worried about the corruption in the geopolitical risk and how bad it would look. so he wisely distances himself from hunter biden and devon archer to burisma. he didn't simply call his stepfather, secretary of state and say i have a problem. he didn't tell his friends i'm not getting on the board i want nothing to do with this. he went so far to send an e-mail to senior state department officials about this issue. and he wrote, apparently devon and hunter have joined the board of burisma in a press release went out today. i can't speak to why they decided to but there is no investment by our firm in their company. what is hunter biden do? he stayed on board. what he chris heinz do? subsequently he stopped doing business his college roommate chris heinz spokesperson said, the lack of judgment in this matter was a major catalyst for mr. himes into

daughter ashley biden.bsolute case where he is using government resources, government influence, government information for the benefit of a family member's business. and, if you can imagine if the charms had done that, i would be outraged but they haven't done that in the bidens have. you can look at his brother frank. >> how many bidens are there. >> i tell you we found five members that receive the sweetheart deals. that is all of the siblings and his living children, of course bo passed away from cancer a few years ago. so it's all five family members, no one has been left out. >> what about this other brother. >> so frank biden starts doing deals in coaster -- costa rica. joe biden comes down and talks with the president about providing aid and cooperation. within months frank biden has a deal with the costa rican power company. he has meetings with the president of costa rica and government ministers. he's setting up an interview company. you can add him to the list. >> he knows nothing about it. >> n

biden -- >> he has joe biden on his mind.ecause trump knows biden will beat him in pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. the state's we need to take back the presidency. joe biden stood on the world stage, helped make obamacare the law of the land and could step in on day one. it is why trump can't stop talking about -- >> joe biden. >> i'm joe biden and i approve this message. >> corin and hallman are back at the table. and corin, that is all about electability and shows the poll numbers in the crucial argument. >> absolutely. that is his strongest argument. that is how people see him. as someone who was vice president with obama for eight years and obama's number two and someone who brings comfort and can bring them back to normal times. so that is a great argument for biden. it is a smart ad. we have to remember, time after time, when you look at polls, it said people want to know who can beat donald trump. how do we win against donald trump. and that ad shows exactly that. and what does it do? it shows donald trump just m

biden, he brought property on the virgin islands from biden's brother james biden and james biden gaveortgage. we don't know if it was a sweetheart mortgage but we see the kinds of deals the biden family the looks like insider deals and people associated with them, getting pretty cushy deals. your reaction to now "politico" on the story. >> liz, nothing passes smell test of any of these individual things. when you put them all together, one has to tilt their head to the side, saying what is going on here? what is going on is, i think just some pretty poor judgment on the part of the former vice president of the united states. i agree. he should have recused himself for anything involving his son but it seems like he was maker of the deal, to make sure his son was put in there, with absolutely no qualifications. it's deplorable. liz: we're staying on the story. bill gavin, we have you back in. thank you for joining us. great to see you. >>> look who is here, lou dobbs to join us with a look what is coming up on his show. >> liz, tonight we'll take the president live from the big rally i

i don't want to call hunter biden. i don't want to call joe biden. i want somebody to look at that when this was done. i've got a from the public record to believe their assertion there is no there there falls short. i know enough about the ukraine to believe we didn't betray the country. i know enough about the president's worldview, he still pissed we give 10% of the military budget. >> wisely about the presidential race, this is about the united states senate. if you take a listen to chuck schumer's statements, putting the trial on members of the united states senate, this is about susan collins. this is about tom tillis. this is about martha mc sally. this is cory gardner. chuck schumer has said as much. this is only partly about removing donald trump and taking his name off of the ballot. it is also about chuck schumer trying to make himself majority leader of the united states senate and there is no way to deny it because he himself has confirmed it. >> there should be more witnesses and documents because no evidence has come out, there was a r

joe biden threatened-- joe biden, vice-president. united states and we just saw a video which would encourage every news outlet to actually show the video of joe biden bragging how he told the president of ukraine he was going to cut off a billion dollars, he was going to block a billion dollars in foreign aid to ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor and in joe biden's own words, sonofabitch, they fired the guy. >> you said you'd answer the question, so-- >> hold on, hold on. >> i'm sorry, let him answer the question. >> i did ask the question-- >> i guess that the press moves to obsess over the latest bombshell. listen, i don't know what john bolton's book says or doesn't say. i've seen the new york times coverage, but at the end of the day, it doesn't impact the legal issue before this senate. the legal issue before this senate is whether a president has the authority to investigate corruption. so the house managers built their entire case on the proposition that investigating burisma skrupgs... we have just seen two hours of ev
