>> as cory booker done any job? of the main reasons i entered this race is we've got to bring back family values. for too long he has been gallivanting along, where is he when people are struggling? can't break free from cycles of poverty, the lead crisis in the work, he is showboating around trying to raise money for his failed presidential bid and done nothing for the state. time for real leadership to step up and bring jersey values back to washington. todd: let's look at these numbers. a percentage of missed votes from january 1st to august 7th of this year. it is among those, 45% is a lot. he is not winning currently in the democratic nomination. obviously you want to be in dc making votes and making change. >> it is not just about dc but bringing jersey proud back to dc. if you see the statistics more people are leaving the state than living in there. i want to make new jersey a place we are proud of. we need real leadership in dc. my platform is on things that matter to folks in new jersey. we are struggling

same with cory booker. cory booker had a great performance last night. unifier. it wasn't just about going after trump. it's like everybody up here is better than donald trump. >> i agree with you. i hope one of the things i was just texting, i was like, i need somebody's contact info because they need to be able to see this clip that cnn played so that voters can see what they're saying about senator harris. but there is a chance for somebody not named elizabeth warren and joe biden. >> i want to say one last thing. when we talk about burn rates and money and how much people are spending, president trump is spending $40 million a month. that is crazy. >> and he's raising a ton. >> raising a ton. >> you can't compete with that right now. >> for joe biden when you're not raising money -- >> can't do it with pocket change. >> can i say something quickly? castro was the only one last night to talk about atatiana jefferson. that cannot go away. >> thank you, friends. >> thank you. >>> we're going to speak to five of the presidential candidates who were on th

people all across the country love cory booker and wanted his voice to stay in this race.en if people had not endorsed yet we saw stacey abrams saying cory's invoice is important in this race. we exceeded our goal what we are raising and certainly staying in this race. we know that we still have our case to make to the american people. we know there is still time, even though on this program here we talk about it on a daily, hourly, you know, minute-by-minute basis, we still have a lot of time here to make the case on why cory booker is the best candidate in this rals. >> sabrina singh, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> tune into the cnn and "the new york times" democratic presidential debate live from ohio. tuesday night, 8:00 p.m. eastern here on cnn. >>> a 28-year-old african-american won was shman and killed by police in her own home after a neighbor called police because the woman's door was open. tremfya® helps adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis get clearer. and tremfya® was proven superior to humira® in providing significantly clearer skin. don't use if

pulled peter doocy is catching up and getting close with senator cory booker. what is going on? ow senator booker who has been very gracious with his time, a lot of reporters but he is taking a question from some student journalists, but when he is done talking to the student journalists we are going to try and get a question to the senator who was one of the last people here. as of right now i believe. i will check with my crew here. just senator booker and elizabeth warren. it's a really, really long day for them. three hours standing after a few very late nights going through binders and doing debate prep and he is still here. more than an hour and a half after things wound down. again, i think we might have a chance with a question here. once he is done with the students. again, there's a lot to ask him about. i do want to give it away so he hears it. we don't know, give them any time to think about it. we are going to try and hear and once again. i will stick the microphone in. senator booker, we are alive right now. thank you for the question what happened -- what changed b

>> i think cory booker had a good night, senator cory booker had a good night. >> stephen: was there>> his message is different from the other candidates. he has this very uplifting message of love and bringing the country together. and it's just different. i don't know if it's going to be enough for him. i mean, right now, joe biden is still the front-runner at about 24%. and then you have sanders and warren, each just under 20. that's almost two-thirds of the democratic electorate is with those three candidates. so it's going to be tough to burst through. and even candidates that have burst through, like kamala harris, in that first debate, you then have to capitalize on it. and it didn't really work out for her. >> stephen: yeah, she kind of faded after that. her second attack at joe, the second time around, didn't happen. >> yeah. >> stephen: now, there was a lot of-- there was a lot of back- and-forth between julian castro and joe biden. >> yeah the audience didn't seem >> stephen: is somebody paying julian castro to attack joe biden or did joe biden kick julian castro's dog? >>

. >> senator cory booker from my home state of new jersey, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you for admitting you're a jersey boy. i appreciate that. >> of course. >> i've always worried now that you're big and famous, you'll deny your newark roots. >> oh, please. there's more a.m. joy on the way. don't go anywhere. way. don't go anywhere.

is it a, joe biden, cory booker or amy klobuchar? oth said booker because he was a college football player. he went to stanford university. >> amy for the win. i love good tie, you gotta be fast and tall. question number five, which candidates favorite drink is orange gatorade. is it a tulsi gabbard, be joe biden or cory booker orange gatorade. that was a beverage concocted by the florida gators. >> you are all wrong. biden he told us in 2016, and there is also an orange gatorade candle per se at the museum. get yours today. question six, which candidate drives a 2016 chevy bolt. is it tom steyer, elizabeth warren or amy klobuchar? a chevy volt, let's see your answer tom steyer. michael only has three, stier said he likes his bolt because of the hybrid gas electric vehicles or to $33000. maybe he will buy you one because he is rich. which candidate was a knife salesman andrew yang, tulsi gabbard or bernie sanders. yang, yang and sanders. bernie sanders is incorrect. andrew yang used to bust tables and sold knives for direct marketing

i'll ask senator cory booker and also beto o'rourke. but first, my colleague richard lui with other stories we are following this hour. >> and a story we're following, a training accident at fort should you art, georgia has killed three soldiers. a statement from the u.s. army says the bradley fighting vehicle the soldiers were riding on, that it crashed overnight. three others on board were the injured. the cause is under investigation. >>> and in hong kong, tensions there remain high after another night of violent clashes. this is marking the 20th straight week of demonstrations that have increasingly turned violent. the marches began this opposition to a since scrapped bill that allowed extraditions to mainland china. but expanded to include calls for greater democracy. >>> and finally, the world series, it is set, ladies and gentlemen. the houston astros defeated the yankees last night 6-4. they will face the washington nationals, that begins tuesday. more "politics nation" right after the break. ion" right after the break. they're

the spin room right now talking about their performances standing right over there behind me is cory booker and you can see by those signs where the various other candidates are we've had many of them come out here joe biden has not made it here and. he was much more aggressive in this debate that he was in previous debates and he needed to be his poll numbers have gone down he's been repeatedly criticized by president trump and that may be connected more and fired back at everyone that fired at her but perhaps it was bernie sanders who had a particularly good night this was 2 weeks to the day after he had a heart attack and stents implanted in he was aggressive in fighting for health medicare for all that is a government funded health program and over attacks on the wealthy he was very strong on all of those things what he needed to show was that he was physically and mentally strong enough not just to complete the campaign but also to act as commander in chief of the us so as we wait other candidates to come out here. the debate was really one in which many of the candidates in the top. b

just that line is hilarious by cory booker. was mayor of one of the more dangerous cities in the united states.math what other ways of taking your guns are there? >> again, i guess we're supposed to hand them over politely. that's how you accomplish this goal..re this is one of the things that wasaf a theme throughout the afternoon on msnbc. are these plans that bear no resemblance to reality -- cory booker should look at what is happening over the country with magazine bands, where people are supposed to turn their magazines ban. in new york state, the noncompliance rate for people who are supposed to register their assault weapons or reregister their hand guns at less than 10%. the fact of the matter is theree is no way to enforce these proposals, which is why beto o'rourke and cory booker and other candidates simply want to believe that americans are going to comply with laws that will disarm them. >> laura: it's a god-given right to be able to have that right to defend yourself and bear arms. but they don't see it as that.

biden has a stronglehold on the black vote which has changed the dynamic of the race and cory bookerbanking on that support particularly in south carolina to fuel their viability but that hasn't happened yet. and overlapping factors, money is flowing to candidates like pete buttigieg and grassroots donors are going to elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. you also have the question of electability. so many democrats are fearful about losing to president trump and thinking about the white working class voters and when we talk to julian castro and cory booker they think that is hurting the nonwhite candidates because some of the democratic voters themselves think that nominating them would be a quote/unquote risk for that electorate. >> that is what people wondered about then senator barack obama but then we saw what he did in iowa and the story changed. speaking of the former president, there is a incredible quote in here. this is theodore johnson who you spoke to. said this -- the road is easier because of obama but their ability to secure the nomination is harder because they're not

cory booker qualified.ut i do believe klobuchar and tulsi gabbard and castro and beto -- that's who i was thinking about -- are going to have a difficult time finding any lines. i thought beto had a difficult night. i thought he struggled extremely well. >> you did a biden. >> he's been biden'ing all morning. >> at the end of the day, from looking at the perch from which i happen to sit, i believe no matter what side you're on on this debate of health care or whatever, i believe it was about elizabeth warren and taking her down no matter what. she was the front-runner, e i'm going to take you down. i have never seen amy klobuchar in all of these debates go in -- she was together in the 11th hour. she had it going on. she was clapping back and she was just smooth. i remember in detroit she was wiping her brow. it was like she was frustrated because she could not find her way in. she found her rhythm at the last moment, but it was all about taking elizabeth warren down like they had been doing with joe biden.

cory booker didn't really figur into this debate, but she had some moments at the beginning where she had some great lines about protecting the election. >> i am still waiting to find out from him, how making that call to the head of ukraine and trying to get him involved and interfering in our elections makes america great again. it doesn't make america great again, it makes russia great begin. reality check to elizabeth because no one wants to protect billionaires, not even the billionaire wants to protect billionaires.no we just have different approaches prayed your idea is not the only idea. >> i think if you look at other candidates on the stage, you've got senator warren, senator sanders, had big nights, but i think mayor pete and then vice president biden did not have a good night overall paired. >> when senator comes into this surging, you're always the target, but it seemed like a lot of you book prepared to go toe to toe with her as we saw with bright and when he was the first front runner in the first couple of debates.r. >> she is going to have her tur at the barrel for so

could cory booker win -- >> tucker: if cory booker won, we'd have to leave the country.f biden doesn't get it, i'm not being mean here. i honestly don't think he's gonna. if he doesn't, where does that leave noncrazy, nonsocialist democrats? are they going to support elizabeth warren? >> we don't know if that happens, if biden falls away, against the odds he'd hasn't, but if he does i do not know if there's going to be around amy klobuchar, cory booker, michael bennet who i'm supporting. i think any democrats out there watching his support somebody who's a nonsocialist, keep supporting them because you just don't know how things are going to break. >> tucker: i've never rooting for anything for the democrat party because i think it's corrupt, but i'm rooting for america. i wanted to be the most reasonable force it can be. richard, thank you. record numbers of america saying they are open to implanting socialism in america. young people mostly. why? part of the reason, the main part of the reason is because our college system explodes and destroys young people. it's an ex

three of the opponents that are going to be up there tonight -- kamala harris, cory booker, and beto o'rourke said they all said they would never allow a family member to have the kind of arrangements sitting on boards in ukraine and china sitting on on -- but the vice president was overseeing relationships with. the chances of that coming up are pretty good. >> we have heard -- we are grateful for great democrats like pete buttigieg and cory booker and senator harris for saying everybody needs to leave joe biden alone and don't use this as a distraction. senator cory booker noted if you want to get to joe biden on this, you're going to have to come through me. pete buttigieg said last sunday unfounded unsubstantiated smears -- >> martha: the three that i mentioned said they never would've allowed their son to have that kind of position. >> if people want to talk about corruption, you can look at the trump administration. >> martha: there wasn't that policy in the biden vice presidency, what changed? >> i want to be really clear, the conversation you and i are having right now is a c

why do you say cory booker is one of your winners?bout who is the winner for democratic primary voters, might not have been a winner for all americans watching this morning on the news but folks who are going to vote, 180,000 people in the iowa caucus, very few people vote in the democratic primary in new hampshire. if you are democratic stalwart sitting on your couch you liked what you saw with cory booker by saying let's not talk ugly about each other, let's focus on donald trump, figure what we have in common instead of what ripped us apart and if you are democratic primary voter what elizabeth warren has done to this point, to rise above it with love. rob: loses are biden, buttigieg and klobuchar, all considered more moderate, have really shoes with medicare for all, a $30 trillion price tag. why do you call them the losers? >> the next time i make my list, nothing to do with that. biden describes himself if you watch him all night last night, you alluded to it as we were leading into this, he didn't look sharp already for the mom

what about cory booker? senator booker?one from questioning joe biden's fitness to now this over the top defense. this is cory booker the morning after the september 12th debate. >> there's a lot of moments where a number of us were looking on the stage when he tends to go on sometimes and at one point talking about people listening to record players, i don't remember the last time i saw a record player -- >> they're back in, you know. >> vinyl is hot. >> just let you know. >> maybe he's cooler than i am but definitely moments you listen to joe biden and you just wonder. >> hmm. you just wonder. that was then. now let me play this for you. senator booker last night after joe biden was asked about his son hunter. >> we are literally using donald trump's lies and the second issue we cover on the stage is elevating a lie and attacking a statesman. so offensive. he should not have to defend himself and the om person sitting at home was donald trump seeing we're distracting and selling out from his office. >> what's cory booker'

[cheering]

and cory booker yesterday, he said the quiet part out loud.en to this. >> democrats who are looking for an alternative now, i want to make the case today very directly to look no further. >> so the bite goes on, the vp is certainly not achieving the way i know his campaign would probably want. booker goes on to say, i'm getting calls from people who are biden supporters who now want to hedge their bet and support somebody they think can actually win. so cory booker flat out said, look at me, i'm the joe biden alternative. >> you're going to get that talk from everybody though. to talk about the run fronter is always they can't win, they can't win. the polls show everybody in the race can win practically because trump is a crack and people don't like that. you know, this is all talk that goes on in campaigns. i like cory booker and he could well end up being on the ticket in either spot. but this is just campaign talk. >> what did you see with the lackluster showing where he got 9 million versus sanders' $33.7 million? >> the intensity of the o

cory booker gets it.of the debate we have a president of the united states who constantly, by the hour of each and every day, makes an effort to alter of constitution of the united states, alter the ethics and allers the way people view government and view him. corinne is absolutely right when she said there's no way of knowing who moves the needle on this thing. to your point that you just raised about elizabeth warren, look it, let's face facts, elizabeth warren is a star. she is a star on the debate stage. she's been a star during this campaign, but you have to wonder the emotional reaction of people watching that exchange in which, if you noted, she never once looked at vice president biden after he said correctly that he helped garner votes for the consumer protection bureau on the floor of the senate, which he did. she never once looked at him, and then to use your phrase, joe, was there a smallness aspect to her that people will notice, that will register with people? when she not only looks at him

and others although cory booker has done very well very recently raising money are you surprised that these sort of dark horse candidates are still in there and fighting and getting democratic support no not at all i think now that you know primarily most donors are online and small donors they can fuel their search their favorite candidate for as long as they want their traditional way of going to a hotel ballroom and the whole you know having a rubber chicken dinner and having those donors fund your campaign that's long gone and so if yang has a passion a group of supporters across the nation they can keep him funded for as long as he wants to do this so michael let me ask you about that i mean there's also a lot of criticism that the democratic stage is way too crowded and splitting up a lot of you know democratic support when right now is the time to be coalescing how long you know i mean do you agree with that or do you say hey everybody you know go for it well you know i think my republican friend had that same issue during 20162015 with a republican nomination and it seemed to

i spoke with cory booker who shared reaction to the news of this second whistle blower. senator, good to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. >> first, your reaction to this news of a second whistle blower? >> i don't find it surprising. i think there are a lot of people that witnessed this kind of behavior and we're only at the beginning of knowing the depth and the breath of it. remember, this is now an allegation that is not only implicated president by his own language but we now know it's also the state department and secretary of state and also the department of justice and the attorney general. there are dozens of people that witnessed this behavior and i imagine more people will be coming forward with more aspects of the truth, which is what the public deserves. >> the few republican senators, susan collins, mitt romney and ben have come out and criticized the president specifically over what he said about china, calling on china to investigate joe biden but do you have any reason to believe that if it came time to actually vote, they would side with democr

could cory booker win?e might. >> tucker: if cory booker wins we all have to leave the country so don't even say things like that. you know that's true. let me ask you if biden doesn't get it -- i'm not rooting against biden, not being mean. but if he doesn't, where does that leave noncrazy nonsocialist democrats? are there really going to support elizabeth warren? that's a sinceret question. >> i'm saying we just don't know if that happens, if biden somehow falls away -- and i think against the odds, he hasn't, but if he does, i don't know whether there's going to be a coalescing around in amy klobuchar, cory booker, michael bennet, who i am actually supporting. it's possible, again, given the history, we just don't know and i think any democrat out there watching who supports some buddy who is a nonsocialist, keep supporting them because you just don't know how things are going tociau break. >> tucker: a look, i never refer anything having to do with the democratic party because i think it's corrupt i am

andrew yang, tulsi gabbard, cory booker didn't factor into this debate. amy klobuchar had some moments, especially at the beginning where she had some great lines about protecting the election. >> i'm still waiting to find out from him how making that call to the head of ukraine and trying to get him involved and interfering in our elections makes america great again. doesn't make america great again? it makes russia great again. i want to give me give a realit, no one wants to protect billionaires, not even the billionaires want to protect billionaires. your idea is not the only idea. >> i think if you look at all the candidates on the stage, you have senator warren, senator sanders had big nights. i think amy klobuchar and mayor pete, joe biden did not have a good night. >> shannon: that she has surging and you are always a target. people came prepared to go toe-to-toe with elizabeth warren as we saw with biden as he was the front runner. you have to know when you surge ahead you have that target. >> she will have the turn in the barrel for some time as

someone like cory booker saying he wants a national registry for guns.ng to be pitching that plan here on stage with our own craig melvin. i imagine we're going to be hearing a lot of the same things from the rest of the field. and i also imagine we're going to hear a lot about president trump and republicans in washington stonewalling gun control efforts, steph. >> all right, ali. thank you so much. joining me now to broaden this conversation, editor and chief of the bull work and msnbc contributor my friend charlie sykes and former democratic congressman and former chairman of the congressional campaign committee, steve israel, also director of the cornell university institute of politics and global affairs. steve, gun reform has been a major concern for democrats in the house and the senate. is it the right idea for these candidates to continue pushing this further and further, even if republicans do nothing? >> yes, because it draws the contrast between democrats and republicans. look, the elements of joe biden's plan represent a consensus in america

>> yeah, and i think it's for a candidate like cory booker who is struggling to catch up into the topdidates, all the focus on impeachment sucked all the oxygen and attention away. it was hard enough to break through even before this story, now it's nancy pelosi, donald trump, donald trump's administration that are going to be the senator of the universe, it's not going to be as much as even on elizabeth warren, so if you are elizabeth warren and getting a great deal of attention up to now, you also will have trouble breaking through all of this. i did think i it was interesting to your point to get him to try to contrast himself. there's one candidate in the lower tier who is actively trying to contrast himself and that's mayor pete buttigieg, who is basically saying i am the bridge between the old, which is joe biden, and the old way of doing things and what he would say would be the too far left candidates like warren and sanders, i can be that middle candidate, that person who's young enough, different enough but not too far to the left. >> woodruff: categorizing her on the left.

. >> by the way, got to play a little bit of cory booker.en to what he said. >> so those democrats who are looking for an alternative now, i want to make the case today very directly that look no further. i can and have excited a diverse coalition of voters. i can and have united progressives and moderates. and i will not divide this party and drag others down in personal attacks for the sake of winning a short-term polling boost. >> you know, i -- i am all for sometimes get rid of the subtlety. he's basically saying, look, i'm a great compromise. let me show you. it is interesting. i wrote it down. >> let me read to you what a great guy i am. >> but voters hate hearing that -- i mean, i get why he's doing it at this point because i'm with him on paper. he does strike me as the potential compromise between their front-runner. >> but he believes in himself so little that he needs to read his own promo speech? i'm sorry. that's pretty lame. >> general election argument, too. it's hard to motivate the base with that message. >> yeah. it really

listen to what cory booker has to say. >> a fake twitter account, i am not sure.o help me come up with my twitter account. jillian: the revolution that mitt romney uses a fake twitter account to praise himself caused many people to cringe but not spartacus. christopher on facebook says i am spartacus. mitt romney can say i am dlxoh. i want to know how he came up with the name. rob: are you a russian asset? carley: don't put that out in the universe. rob: that is all i am saying. let's check in with brian kilmeade with what is coming up on "fox and friends". >> you will be our asset shortly. for the record carly is out of confidence and doesn't mean that direction. what we have on our show in 15 minutes, are in c chairwoman rhonda mcdaniel talking about her uncle collapsed alias they were referring to on "fox and friends first," jason chaffetz on the horwitz investigation. when can we expect this, we thought we were going to get this last one, he will join us with the impeachment hearings. judge andrew napolitano will talk about overturning the electoral college, s

democrats like cory booker don't want the primaries to be about donald trump but if they are serving as jurors during an impeachment trial in the senate they might not have much choice. >> it will be busy to be running for president and sitting in a trial as well. you have had a long day, thanks for being with us tonight. donald trump wasting his time attacking his 2020 rivals at tonight's keep america great rally. >> the only message these radical socialists and extremists will understand is a crushing defeat. we will win back the house, we will keep the senate and we will win the white house. >> let's bring in jessica and katie to break down what we saw tonight. the president went pretty hard after joe biden on a number of friends. we have interesting new fox news polling, among democratic primary voters. right now when asked which candidate has the best chance to beat donald trump, biden is far and away still ahead of the pack. there may be other different polling when you ask who you are going to vote for. this is who they think is the best equipped to be the president. they stil

by the way, cory booker said he would use the federal government to target schools that resist this agenda. watch. >> to allow people to use the bathrooms but we cannot stop there. we must use the department of justice and the department of education and civil rights division to go after schools that are denying people equal rights and equal protection. >> laura: matt, more people are seeing the town hall on the show but its importance, were playing it for a reason. most people that watch list, this is where the party is going. using government as a weapon against people. not to make the people's lives better. >> it started with obama, spying on reporters, sending fcc lawyers into newsrooms. it was the d.c. government asking for the sermons and pastors seeing if there is hate speech and know you have cory booker who is literally running to the president of the united states and he's going to use the doj to against them can people who have the same beliefs that george washington had and our founders. >> laura: obama -- i mean, obama would be considered what today? in this democrat party, wh

. >> dana: what about if you're senator cory booker and you read a story like this.m i chopped liver? why isn't anybody paying attention to me? >> you're not a chopped liver. your a candidate for vice president. you assume if it's warren or if it is major pete or potentially joe biden that somebody like cory booker, a person of color, a u.s. senator would be added to the ticket. that's the role he's been playing. he's more from sparticus to unifier. >> dana: i real julian castro. he's from texas. he said if he doesn't raise $800,000 by the end of the month he will get out. does he have a path forward? >> dana: he does haven't a path forward. but he does in the event that the democratic leaders, the nominee pick a minority who is hispanic for vice president. then -- >> dana: at this point, 100 odd days from iowa. some democrats are saying, oh gosh. isn't there anybody else? >> we don't have a strong candidate that rivals donald trump. those are the facts. here we are. >> dana: here we are. thank you. >> thank you. >> dana: a fox news alert. the u.s. brokered temporary

i am all in for senator cory booker. think he is an exceptional leader and i think he would make an acceptable president -- an exceptional president. i will say emphatically i will take any democrat in the election next year. .e need adult leadership i am a former u.s. ambassador. this step, which does not have a new jersey nexus, this step in syria with the kurds is absolutely atrocious. we have as volatile a ceo in our country and washington and burning us not in new jersey or america but around the globe. in particular, i mentioned thater that the inequities the tax bill had uncovered have heard us. i talk all of the time about a stronger, fairer new jersey that works for everybody. this means we have to grow the pie and we're doing everything we can to do that. we have to make sure everybody gets a piece of the pie. any democrat, i am with senator booker, but any of the democrats would be more qualified at growing the pie, but as importantly, making sure everybody has access to their piece of the american dream. if t

which does explain why cory booker is planning to show up dressed as rum tum tugger. of eyes will be on the democrats, but president trump still has plenty of problems, which i'll tell you about in tonight's edition of don and the giant impeach. ( cheers and applause ) >> to me it's a dirty word, the word impeach, it's a dirty filthy disgusting word. ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: for starters, in case you missed it, "house investigators are looking into an allegation that groups, including at least one foreign government, tried to iratiate themselves to president donald trump by booking rooms at his hotels but never staying in them." that's ridiculous. there's an easier way to give trump money through his hotels. just eat that mini-can of prgles $12? ( laughter ) that's like a buck twenty a pring! governments pay for the rooms but never go, in what are called "ghost bookings." which is also what hotel security calls it when wilbur ross stays there. ( laughter ) ( piano riff ) there have been very few commerce secretaries in my lifetime who are a visible punch li

let's play cory booker also. cut four. this is cory booker. listen to that. >> we have to conduct this process in a way that is honorable. i swore an oath to do my job as a senator, do my duty. this president has violated his. i will do mine. >> so, jason, that was an answer to a question i thought was one of the oddest questions tonight was do you think you can be fair to donald trump. that was a weird framing that was sort of put to several of them. do you think that you could treat the man fair? >> first off, the man doesn't treat anybody fair so the whole thing is crazy and ridiculous. this is what happens when you ask a lot of people when there's not a lot of daylight between the two the same question. corey gave a nice answer and joe and biden. you should have started with tulsi gabbard because she was the only person on the stage who was initially against impeachment and changed her mind. ask people on the areas where they may have difference. even if you say the argument can you be fair one way or another, senator harris and one point

. >> you've are kamala harris and cory booker say leave joe biden alone on this. are clearly worried because they have faced blow-back for going after biden before. >> they have not given much of a defensive, it's kind of off bounds, the president is terrible for bringing it up. but the trump campaign strategy is not going to let this go away. we have a long number of months. and this morning he's saying he would not be taking the chinese position again. but i think they're going to have to give a lot more answers on just because president trump and rudy giuliani are going to demand it. you can imagine at some point democrats are going to ask more questions about hunter biden's entanglements. is issue is not going away any time soon. you have a president who between him and rudy giuliani think this is one of the most effective ways to attack joe biden. you see it over and over again. whatever the facts may be, the attacks are going to continue. >> and i think the other clashes we'll see on that debate stage have to do with bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. bern

i got a chance to ask cory booker whether or not he's worried about a possible conflict of interest.embers, they think if there is a senate trial, the candidates for president should recuse themselves. is that something you would ever do? >> no. >> all right. thank you very much. >> and that's it. democrats like cory booker don't want the primary and caucuses to be about president trump but if they are serving as jurors during an impeachment trial in the senate, they might not have much of a choice, shannon. >> he didn't hesitate. going to be a very busy running for president and sitting in a trial as well. peter doocy, you've had a long day. thank you for being late with us tonight. >> thanks. >> shannon: president trump wasting no time attacking his 2020 rivals. as tonight's keep america rally. >> the only message these radical socialists and extremist understand is a crushing defeat. we will win back the house. we will win down next keep the senate. we will win the white house. >> shannon: fox news contributor jessica tarlov and katie pavlich, great to have you with us. was hard o

it's a feel good story for cory booker that he got the money he wanted.created narrative. it's like clearing a very low hurdle while your opponents clearing higher hurdles. the mayor of south bend, indiana raised $19 million. >> you said money wasn't your deciding factor. >> it's not -- >> it's not like he can point to the polls and say it's better over there. >> i'm basing it on "new day" appearances and i give him an a. >> that's fine. can i do one more. >> sure. >> a plus plus plus plus plus plus plus. washington nationals come behind for victory. >> the nationals and the astros are my two teams. >> stick around professor. we want you to weigh in on this. this is video of a woman apparently taunting a lion at the bronx zoo here in new york. the zoo says she climbed over a safety barrier. the bronx zoo called it a serious violation. she put her life in danger. the new york police department said the zoo has filed a complaint for criminal trespass. taunting a lion. what kind of grade do you give on that, chris? >> that's an fi minus. my favorite part is

. >> dana: cory booker? >> cory booker, too. they have to a shining moment or two. they have to be able to qualify for the november criteria or be off the stage, which is kind of the end. but i think it is a huge mistake, dana, to do it by cross-attack. >> dana: what do you mean by that? >> it didn't work for kamala harris on biden with bussing, except day or so, didn't work for julian castro, the way he did it. the thing that should be talked about today is kurds separating children from their mothers, losing five federal cases in one day, his own kids -- >> dana: what about when people out and about say they want to talk about jobs, infrastructure, healthcare, details and not so much foreign policy. >> all that is totally correct. i just listed a few things. but of course, my point was the cross-fighting is not beneficial. let's remember, one of the debates they attacked barack obama, give me a break. >> dana: that did not work out well. you watching tonight? >> i'll be watching. >> dana: we'll be watching you. tune in to special report with bret baier 6 eastern f

. >> and senator cory booker called out his fellow democrats once again hitting each other in their fightbecome their party's nominee. >> mr. booker, are those the best solutions there. please respond. >> first of all, i'm happy to get in finally, as the great new jersey yogi berra said i have a shot. i've had the privilege of working with or being friends with everybody on this stage and tearing each other down because we have a different plan to me is unacceptable. i have seen this script before. it didn't work in 2016. and it will be a disaster for us in 2020. >>> all right. let's get into this a bit. joining from us washington, white house reporter for politico, gabby, talk to us about the moments that stood out for you? >> well, i think the clearest winner from this debate was pete buttigieg. there were so many moments where he got into it with elizabeth warren over health care. a topic that he previously seemed checked out on. he went after tulsi gabbard about her criticism with president trump with pulling troops out of syria. the exchange that you just went over between him and be
