standard in calling biden making up a story a gaffe and calling what the current president says a lie amy holmes well i think those are of perfectly fair concerns to raise about joe biden and his honesty when he is i guess reflecting recalling his own political history his positions and you know these stories that he likes to tell but i want to go back to the earlier point about dr. you have to get out of their way they've got to you know you know keep their focus and keep their fire on president trump well that's true in the general but right now we're in the primary and those primary content contenders do not intend to be rolled over by joe biden and his political machine because they need to get out of the way they're fighting they're fighting hard they're fighting tough and guess what democratic voters and a lot of polling show that it's not so much the policy positions that they care about at this point there they care about someone who's going to be a fighter and we saw that kemal harris while her polls have dropped back down to i think about 5 percent they got a major boost when she went

and amy holmes. former speechwriter for bill frift.s we look at the last poll out of south carolina which had joe biden at 36% more than double the support of any other democrat. mouch is about miss service in the obama administration. >> i think that a large part of it is about his service in the obama administration and proximity to president obama frankly. but i also think that, you know, the people that are being polled, the african-americans being polled are generally over the age of 50 years old. and so they are looking for stability, for security. who is going to beat donald trump? and you know, the polls right now, even though we are so far out are telling us that joe biden is the most, quote, unquote, electable person at the moment. but when you poll people below the age of 50 who are african-american that number changes dramatically. yes, do i think that joe biden needs to win south carolina? absolutely. but i also am looking at in steady rise of elizabeth warren right now who is making considerable inroads. we still have a l

joining me now is amy holmes. and the host of sirius xm's woke a.f. podcast.? >> i talk impeachment every day. >> the american people, democrats and progressives are very interested in impeachment. it's not about just removing donald trump from office which we know that moscow 34i67 will never do. the purpose of impeachment is to enlighten and educate the american public on criminal activity going on and has been detailed in the mueller report and that continues to happen in front of our faces on a day to day basis. this president is a criminal, a thief and a liar. we have seen just with the sketches of alabama how far the agencies and once credible admirables are willing to go to lie to the american people in order to save face for donald trump. that is dangerous. there are things that he continues to do like get bank rolled by pence, by william barr that are throwing money at trump resorts. there is a problem here and needs to be held accountable for that. you do that through impeachment. >> we'll get to that in a second there. i assume that a lot of republi

peter everson, and political columnist amy holmes, former speech writer for senate majority leader billear there in iowa. it happened in the last hour. he also said that he never spoke with his son about his overseas business dealings. so, how pivotal is all of this going to be heading into 2020? look, all the democrats, clearly, they're going toe to toe with the president. >> well, beat him like a drum is music to my ears. finally a democrat standing up with passion and anger and just saying what every american who is opposed to this unlawful presidency is saying -- we've got to beat it. and so, consequently, up until biden said that, even those quotes from the other candidates are feeling like we're going up against darth vader and valdemort with knives, biodegradable knives because they break at the slightest pressure. i believe biden, vis-a-vis his son, doesn't compare to the president of the united states and his children running around the world cutting deals. so, there is nothing more beautiful, as trump likes to say, than treason by a sitting president and a disgraced former may

. >> joining me now, peter emerson, amy holmes, and alsren shaw. but your take on this warning, did beto o'rourke make any sort of a strategic mistake, give voice to made many republicans have been worried about? >> president john kennedy wrote a book profiles in courage. about politicians who put moral and ethical values above political expedience. o'rourke gave voice to the majority of americans who have said killing five, six, seven year olds with automatic weapons has to stop now and the absurdity of coons he' remarks is making note that he was a hunter and he owns guns and he shoots skeet. what an elitist sport shooting skeet with an ak-47. >> but how do you really feel. just kidding. rena, do republicans get the distinction between o'rourke's aim to take military style weapons off the street while upholding their rights to own other firearms? lines always get crossed. do they get it? >> no, absolutely not. and this area is completely blurred and republicans see the comments as indicative of what the larger field of dem candidates want to do.
