your take on that. >> anderson cooper actually, and he was the moderator last night, actually moderatedrs ago, the second presidential debate, and here he is on this stage, and as you said, not once pushing back on joe biden as a good journalist does or fact checks in any way as a good journalist does. joe biden also lied and said that president trump had not mentioned during his state of the union address in early february anything about the coronavirus. yeah, he did. meanwhile, joe biden could have been asked a question like, hey, during those three primary debates in february that went on for two hours, you didn't mention coronavirus once or super tuesday in march, big night for joe biden, 12 minute acceptance speech, didn't mention coronavirus once. yet joe biden is saying if the president did his job, there would have been no deaths from coronavirus which is a ridiculous statement because i guess that means the 175 other countries that have leaders are also responsible for every death that happened in their country. yeah, this was a bad night for cnn, and it shows you why during th

by the way, i'd like to ask it is town hall tonight, anderson cooper. but you like to claim your super journalist, and he said the ban was hysterical, xenophobia and fearmongering from the time we end up lamented. that one decision saved hundreds of thousands of americans from contracting the virus and likely dying. you might want to have asked them those questions. meanwhile president trump holding a massive rally as we just told you, and supporters just getting a chance to hear the president speak. investigative reporter lawrence jones on the ground tonight, and you get all the hard assignments. i give you all the hard assignments, you get to hang out and be with people. >> i'm glad you are acknowledging it now, sean. what's going on on the ground? >> this is the president's second visit to the state of wisconsin. in the past month. as you know, the president won the state by less than a percentage .4 years ago and it's no doubt going to be a showdown in 2020. i had the opportunity to talk with supporters on the ground and they say the issues that mat

i see he's up there tonight getting softball questions from anderson cooper. they don't ask me questions like that. in the audience isn't quite like this. they've got cars, and it's the weirdest thing i've ever seen. cnn is going, this is so beautiful. there's cars in the parking lot. what a a deal, i will tell you. biden has deported every thing the global sellout for half the country, including nafta and china. you take a look at china's entry into the world trade organization, the ttp, i know that you probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for that. it was one of the big things, one of the big reasons i decided to say, the first lady, let's go have some fun. let's go have some fun. she's done a great job, very popular in the family is all over the place and all over the country. unlike joe who let you down, he never even came back to milwaukee to apologize or just to pay respects, i came to wisconsin and i've been here a lot since we started this. a lot. and if you've been a tremendous beneficiary of what i've done, and i have come up to. because you've be

this was anderson cooper throwing softballs. imagine with the debates are going to look like. >> laura: that was one of the odder campaign events i've seen. all of them, even the ones that were decent questions, biden kind of reverts back to the golden oldies. i guess every candidate does. but it's more pronounced with biden. he always does that thing where he says but no, no, no i'm not going to get into that. don't want to bore you with that. it's a campaign. what are you talking about? >> the saddest moment of the event, the drive-in town hall, probably biden's hot mic at the end of the town hall. listen closely. >> think you for hosting us. stay tuned for cuomo prime time coming up. >> can i see my family? >> can i see my family? this is what you hear the eldercare unit when they disobey the people taking care of them? i felt awful when i heard this. it's a terrible thing for a presidential candidate to be asking a host for his family. >> laura: he always seems like he's wincing. you mentioned passing a kidney stone or somet
