joining me now, fox news contributor bill mcgurn, an expert. let us learn from mcgurn. bill, when you look at beto's rollout, what do you see? >> what you see is what is common for democrats, especially white males, an apology tour. he basically has to apologize for being himself. and that's the problem with beto, bernie and any other white male in the race. it's going to be held against them. how are you going to attack trump if you're defending yourself on who you are, your identity. this is a logic of identity politics. kennedy: here's the dirty secret in 2020 that didn't happen in 2016. they're going to keep going after the nomination process, after they have the nominee, the progressive left is so emboldened in a way they weren't. they were really flirting with these ideas in 2016. >> to your point, they believe them. i think they certainly believe them. i don't know, when it comes down to a candidate against trump, my guess ask the hatred of donald trump might unite them a little bit. but it's hard to get there. kennedy: the democratic party has been unable to soot

let's bring back our panel, dan henninger and columnist kim strassel and bill mcgurn.here, bull, the democratic separate is get it all out. >> yeah. i'm for that. it's a marked change, remember, from how they behaved when devin nuÑes was trying to get documents out of the justice department and the fbi. but i would say i think the journal is broadly speaking in favor of the barr position, be as transparent as you can, the people deserve this. and i think that includes not just the information from the special counsel, but other information; the fisa warrants, the full extent, all the redacted material. especially the letter that rod rosenstein wrote outlining the scope of the information. because, you know, you're supposed to have a crime first when you a appoint a special counsel -- [laughter] not go looking for a crime. so i think there's a lot of secret testimony. i want it all out. let us measure it all. paul: dan, as a political matter, the democrats invested a lot of expectation in special counsel mueller as a prosecutor and finding indictments. dud they put too

bill mcgurn is a columnist and editorial board member for "the wall street journal" and has served as the chief speechwriter for president george w. bush. judy miller is a pulitzer prize-winning journalist. both are fox news contributor's. think of her joining me. i will start with you. let's go to colorado being the 11th state to pledge its electoral votes, if it looks like whomever is winning all of the popular. how would that change things? >> well, look, let's start with the fact that it's not going to change. it either takes constitutional amendment or enough states to do this. so far i believe it's only been blue states that will do this. so this is largely -- this is largely a fiction. it's a game where the end is not going to happen. they think they have a problem with 216. that's what is behind every one of these proposals. they won't change anything the thought affected the 2016 election. the real problem is we see the constitution. the electoral college works the way it's supposed to work. it is supposed to make sure that the entire country is represented, not just a few st

we want to take this to bill mcgurn. >> it's a bad report in terms of the numbers. but to go by monthly job reports, it's like going by the market. you will have fluctuations. wage is a good deal for american workers. we talk about how they haven't gained. but they are gaining here. you know, from my informal gathering talking to businessmen, they are talking about how hard it is to find workers. i think there is still a demand out there. we won't know probably another 2 or 3 months, see if it's revised. >> grover norquist says 800 examples of pay raises, bonuses. >> that's what you have in growth. tight labor market and more demand for labor and wages grow with production it. that's why growth is so important. workers can't get ahead without growth. it's not just having a job, it's the competition for the jobs and the opportunities and growth and productivity. >> american workers getting slammed. but lots of companies are giving pay raises in a fully employed economy. >> attracting and retaining talented people is the big problem. the tighter the labor market gets

kim strassel and bill mcgurn with us as well.just never stops, but going into the weekend, everyone's still kind of reeling from the manafort sentencing. >> yeah, the 47 months instead of the 21 years that they expected him to get. i think in many ways, charles, this is a preview of the mueller anti-climax to come. because the manafort was being concentrated on here because he had been donald trump's campaign manager. his case was handed off from the justice department to mueller's investigation in the expectation he would give them information about trump and collusion. mueller's lawyer said at the sentencing hearing he gave us nothing and maybe because he had nothing. and so he ends up with 47 months, and i think that it sort of suggests -- he did commit a crime. he lied, he hid the tax returns, but this suggests that this is what is going to come from the mueller report. and after the president was saying two years and all this investigation, we're coming up with less than we expected. charles: and, kim, on that note, this is

that's according to bill mcgurn's editorial. >> jessica: hillary clinton isn't running for presidenty -- she gives pieces, she front races, she supports causes that matter. 65 americans 65 million americans voted for her. they are still tremendous fans, feel that she was gypped in 2016 -- i don't think it has an effect on joe biden. >> harris: where are the bernie voters going to go? bernie sanders is a goodly different iconic brand from joe biden. >> jessica: that's the beauty of a primary. they will go for bernie. >> harris: they didn't all vote for clinton. >> jessica: they didn't, he just hired somebody voted for jill stein. there definitely issues and that far left plank of the party. but this is not a story about hillary clinton anymore. it's about a huge, vibrant field of candidates that are putting themselves out there and advancing new and innovative proposals. we should judge that. >> harris: you know what they should do custom work they should do a debate on fox news so they can reach people outside their tent and reach all those d people who sometimes watch us because the

bill mcgurn, josh holmes and mary anne marsh. ood panel. >> sandra: good morning. >> bill: mary anne marsh writes this. socialism is the gop rallying cry for 2020. well, guilty as charged? >> yeah, absolutely, no question about it. every republican from donald trump and down the line is using that word to try to distract everyday americans from the reality of their lives. they know the economy is stacked against them. they know -- >> sandra: who knows the economy is stacked against them? >> the vast majority of americans know capitalism works. they want capitalism but they want it to work for them and that's where we need to reset the rules. >> sandra: by touting socialism? >> no, republicans are touting socialism every day. it is the biggest threat to republicans in 2020 is the economy. the only bigger threat is donald trump. >> i got some whiplash on that, sorry, mary anne. for a bunch of capitalists democrats are having a tough time explaining why they aren't socialists. one policy after another, green new deal. medicare for al

the man who wrote that is bill mcgurn. he is with us now. ink that he would beat trump but he won't get to the -- >> i think he has a good as chance as anyone but he checks a lot of boxes but as you say the party is moving left. his advantage he was vice president for obama. he also appeals to those blue-collar workers who are democrats and voted for obama but then went for donald trump. but the question is, will the pressure be too much? he gave us an indication the other day. he referred to the vice president mike pence as a decent guy. then cynthia nixon and the left pushed back on that, right? he caved. stuart: yeah, that's right. >> if he had taken a stand there, woe have separated himself out. i think that is the kind of campaign look, i'm not for vilifying, my opponent is my opponent, not my enemy. he missed a chance. he flubbed it. stuart: he totally caved. i don't think you can be the president of the united states if you cave at the first sign of any opposition to you. >> right. stuart: you don't think he will get the nomination and

here to discuss editorial board member bill mcgurn. good morning, bill.ollar scranton kind of thing. and as he put in his book, his memoirs, he was strongest in the places where mrs. clinton was weakest in these blue collar areas in these key battleground states. you know, like michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. ohio. so on paper, if he could get those voters, because there was a chunk of those voters, white working class who voted for obama but then went to donald trump. so, but some could argue that means his best shot was 2016 and obama sabotaged it. brian: he did, right? steve: biden has run twice before for president. but this time it's just different. i know it was a couple of weeks ago he referred to mike pence as a decent guy. >> right. >> and left wing elements in his party said really? and then he caved. joe biden said, you know what? i shouldn't have said he was a decent guy. >> that was cynthia nixon and he folded right away. that i think, was a big mistake. what he needed -- what the democrats need there is a left ward drift and they are more

i think bill mcgurn, editorial for the -- and fox news contributor, does he agree with me? important part of the intelligence community and trade committee. having the credibility of o.j. simpson leahy searching for the real killer coming in now, it's a joke. he's not the worst. he was invited by john brennan. all these other people do because of their positions in the intelligence community, they have access to information that you and i didn't. we now know it's a crock. stuart: which democrat is going to stand in the way mr. schiff, mr. brennan, shut up. >> i don't think we are. i would like to see adam shipley that committee. however, would settle for the media not putting him on tv and treating them as though he's a serious person. or demand it. you told us this for two years. why should we not treat you like a clown? >> that goes for john brennan and all the others, too. i say put them on and ask them the question and push the question. you say you've got evidence. where is it now? >> that's why it's very important. i'm for disclosure as much of this mueller report as

bill mcgurn. former speech writer for george w.e hilton, and marianne march former senior advisor to john kerry. i feel like we should go around the horn. after we learned the results of the investigation, your thoughts. >> my thought is the investigation and letter was clear. no evidence. i take what andy said and go a little further. it's one thing for democrats and pundits to make these accusations, but we had the leaders in our intelligence community, we had john brennan out there talking about treason, james clapper saying he could see trump being a russian agent, andrew mccabe said that recently. now we know there is no evidence for it except for maybe -- we should be calling it the simson dossier, not the steele dossier. what does it say about our intelligence operations? the reason this narrative went as far as it did was not because democrats embraced it and so forth. that's common in washington it had the backing of some high intelligence officials. lower people are telling us there was no evidence for it. >> let's look a
