biden insisting that the 2020 democratic nominee must be more than a safe bet, we are back with bill mcgurnley, wall street journal editorial board member kyle peterson, bill, you know what do you make of cory booker's critique there? >> i'm not sure cory booker is safe bet down in 1% range where he is. if i were a biden supporter, it's feeling -- i'm a notre dame fan, you're going in fourth quarter, 6-point lead and you know you are going to lose. paul: why? >> joe biden isn't improving the numbers, sometimes improving the lead because bernie sanders used to be a closer second and has dropped out and basically those numbers are split by elizabeth warren, bernie sanders and to some degree kamala harris, i agree with doug sean, i wonder. it's amazing to me that joe biden is the moderate, for years probably you would see the liberal joe biden in the senate, that's how we described him, he's next to running against the guy that wants to jail oil executives and so forth that he looks moderate. paul: can we get a defense of joe biden, please? >> sure, anything can happen obviously but i will not

we are back with dan henninger, kim strassel, bill mcgurn and allysia finley. good to see you all. cans, there wasn't a person on that list according to the people i talked to who were on that list, who was a white supremacist, who was a racist, who isn't anything other than a decent american. it's happened before in america where we've had these -- the mccarthy era, and it reached a breaking point, and mccarthy eventually was shamed himself. do you think we're close to that point? >> no, i think this is part of -- look, i mentioned before there's a marked contempt for a lot of ordinary americans who may disagree with the ruling elite and, therefore, they're regarded as haters. and in the list, i think, is part of this. but we saw it a couple years ago with mozilla, he contributed to the traditional marriage part of the proposition 8 campaign, and he was forced out of his job. so there's this name and shame, the idea to take a law that's meant to have accountability and weaponize it against ordinary citizens is just extraordinary. and remember, there's a famous supreme court case, 1

bill mcgurn joins us on this.ard lawrence was reporting at top of the hour, members of the military, this is interesting, the children, born on a base in germany, would have to apply to be citizens. what do you make of this? >> there are a lot of different things. my kids are all grew up in america. they're all adopted from china. so they're ineligible. right. >> i can understand why people favor this, but this is, this is overturning a longstanding tradition. there are legal arguments on both sides. for this, what the 14th amendment. but i think larger thing these are not real fixes. the fix we need from congress to look at our immigration, broken system, reach, reach reasonable accomodations on it, with each side. we haven't done that. i was at the white house for the 2007 immigration reform bill, we came close, it was sabotaged by a bunch of people, including then senator obama. connell: we're not coming close. seems like those decisions anyone is having a congressional fix, things like this where the president

let's bring in for his reaction, bill mcgurn. it's friday. that was a takedown by "the washington post." >> my colleague kim strassel said in a column that people who characterize the debate as moderate versus the progressives. but she he it's the completely crazy against the not so crazy. even joe biden is talking about eliminating fossil fuels. these things have real world consequences. eliminating private understand and giving coverage to illegal aliens. what they did on those two nights was fill a lot of commercials for the rnc. liz: here is the are you kidding me moment. congress does not include the under cost on its spending when the cbo scores it. how can we do all this spending when no one has the interest costs on it. >> i think neither party distinguished itself on spending the last two years. the president made some noises recently. but he hasn't don't. the democrats, their favorite word is trillion. trillion spending. liz: medicare unfunded liabilities is double the national debt. here isp obama. cited -- here is president obama.

donald lufkin and bill mcgurn. thank you for being here. in your notes to me that donald trump is something of a victim of his own success. explain. >> what i mean by that, the economy has done so unexpectedly well since he was elected. we almost can't remember 2 1/2 years ago to wait was like before he was elected. that's our new normal. we are all selfish greedy people of, and we say what have you done for me later. take the great and make it better. that's getting harder and harder to do. ashley: may be. but the commission humming large especially when you compare it to the rest of the world. what is horrible for them, to go into a recession, six months after. >> he was elected to make america great again and part of that is to make our economy of great again. i do think that we are missing a big part of the debate right now. when he's running it will be against someone whether it's joe biden, cam la harris or liz president warren. he'll be able to say do you want this? do you want free healthcare for illegal immigrants, for example. the

bush speech writer and a man who lived in hong kong for 10 years, bill mcgurn. the markets love this. they were up close to 300 points. are you optimistic that there is a trade deal? and i have to ask you is it a good thing there may be a trade deal. >> it's a question mark over the economy. you see that in the gyrations of the market. it looks like it's no deal. the reason -- the president is right, china does not behave by accepted international norms. it gets away with it because it's so big. on the other hand it's clear tariffs are really the answer to fixing this problem. it imposes a lot of costs on innocent parties as well. so i think that any deal would be good for the president because it removes uncertainty. if you are a businessman and you have some plants in china sourcing, you can't erase that overnight and find it somewhere else. david: i understand that. the more we learn about china and the way it operates. secretary of state mike pompeo was in town and he was outlining all the ways in which china is increasingly behaving like a brute. it's almos

joining us, bill mcgurn. your take on all of this? >> they are starting to thin the herd.i were go biden. he has a lead. but it feels like one of those games where you are going into the last quarter and you have a 6-point lead, but you know you are going to lose. the interesting thing about joe biden, he's been gaining in his lead. liz: you think he should be more ahead in the polls? >> former vice president, great name recognition. if they want someone who primarily can defeat donald trump because he's more mott rat. when his lead grows it's because bernie sanders is falling back. i don't think he's going to be the nominee. i think it will be elizabeth warren. liz: bernie sanders thinks he's going to win the presidency. he's basically touting his $16 trillion new green deal. he's saying fossil fuel executives should be criminally prosecuted. now he's making fun at a student who called him out for his contribution to global warming. >> what steps would you take to practice what you preach if you become president. i know it's stressful you have to travel a lot and you have

liz claman, most of the claimant count down on the fox business network, leslie marshall and bill mcgurn deal. i mean it seems like even just saying that got everybody fired up today. >> the markets, absolutely. you might as well have thrown market fuel on them and let the match. you had everyone from best buy to walmart to hasbro, to mattel, the toy makers and the footwear maker is absolutely thrilled that they would get this brief reprieve from the tariffs which they were expected to kick in september 1st. also it includes i believe a very implicit admission by the trump administration that it is the american consumer in charge. he said i think i'm doing this because i don't want consumers to be hurt, leading up to the christmas holiday season. while i can tell you that they are already getting hurt because if you talk to any of these smaller companies here in america, i just talked to one yesterday, kent international. they make bicycles and they've been waiting for a waiver, they don't have it. they just had to lay off people. >> we don't have any inside scoop. and it has behaved ver
