is it a democrat or a republican issue. because the democrats made it that way. not me, lawrence or tammy. we have been very consistent. we said democrat or republican, you are entitled to your day in court. you are entitled to defend yourself. the integrity of your name and character. we have never said any different. it's the democrats during the kavanaugh situation that insisted that the standard was different for kavanaugh. do you see why we might be upset? nothing changed. fairfax deserves the evidence in court. so did kavanaugh. but the evidence was nothing like we have now. >> they still destroyed him. >> let's just remind ourselves here. we do have definite character issues when it comes to northam and the other -- huggins -- >> herring. >> herring. definite admitted character issues. yet of these men, it's the african-american man who is going to be the one who will be effectively forced out. this is a character issue across the board with the democrats. boy, what does it tell you if it's the black man that has to go first. >> 30 seconds. last word. >> b

if you are a democrat you are accusing a democrat that is wanting to be taken seriously.his is the problem with making this kind of an issue a partisan issue. >> tucker: i totally agree it degrades encrypt everything. >> tammy: exactly. >> tucker: you made that point months ago on the kavanaugh story. >> tammy: this is predictable and we must fight against, it is unfortunately a good example of it and ms. tyson deserves at the very least to be taken seriously. >> tucker: and we should hear her out and hear the facts. tammy, thank you very much. >> tammy: things, tucker. >> tucker: we are talking about this live tv but apparently the internet was out of service in the u.s. senate at least on the democratic side. democratic senators seem to do nothing at all about the allegations against lieutenant governor of virginia. someone said they never even heard of him, justin fairfax lieutenant governor of boyer? so henry rogers the daily: went over to the senate today to ask what you think of this and this is what he found. >> i haven't looked at most of the details of that up to

and democrats believe in border security. we believe it should be based on fact, driven then by a strategy and then resourced appropriately. we hope we can bring process back to a place that truly requires it. we've also -- i can tell you we're a class that's been listening for the last two years while campaigning and now even in cofpblgt and we want to bring that spirit back here. and that's what's driving our democratic agenda. starting with h.r. 1. which we believe to be foundational. not just a statement of principle, but foundational if we hope to achieve things for this country in this wonderful house of representatives. ending corruption, the culture of corruption, bringing ethic back to a place that needs it, and perhaps most importantly reforming our very broken campaign finance system. by so doing, we can turn our attention to the most important issues facing this country, the ones that we listen to every single day. i'm so honored and grateful to be part of this class and thank you very much. mr. jeffries: thank yo

the democratic party in some ways. northam is hoping to ride this out, the news cycle with change to something else. and it's sort of like democrats are experiencing a new kind of me too movement when it comes to race. democrats have had very, very little tolerance in their own party. look at al franken. when there was somebody within the democratic party violating the progressive norms, the party was quick to make him a pariah. with race and northam, this is a similar kind of parallel. there's not going to be any further forgiveness for him and it may get worse as the days drag on. >> i'd like you to stand by. let me bring into the conversation director of the center for politics at the university of virginia. somebody who knows this state well. here onset. alexi. larry, to you first. justin fairfax. not a name a lot of people were familiar with. talk about who he is, his place in virginia politics and how you see his place on the national stage now. >> well, justin has been active in virginia politics for some time.

democrats are focused and hard our "for the people" agenda. just last week transportation and infrastructure committee held a comprehensive hearing on investing in roads, bridges, mass transit, ports, airports, schools, water systems and energy grids. just yesterday my colleague, rosa delauro, introduced the family act, which would provide 12 weeks for family leave, protection for workers who take leave. and the natural resources committee has had three climate change hearings just this week. one happening right now is the impact of climate on tribal communities. for the first time, deb holland, a congresswoman from new mexico, will be presenting the tribal perspective as a member of that committee. today, the house judiciary committee is marking up h.r. 8, and the background check bill. this has the support of 97% of americans, across political ideologies. and tomorrow, we will honor the one-year anniversary of the mass shootings at parkland, florida. 14 students and three staff members were killed. and today we will lose 100 americans to gun

socialist democrats.e's going to take one or two statements out of contest and say socialist, socialists, socialists. >> that's believable to enough people when you have certain candidates talk about socialism. it doesn't make sense with a joe biden. you're right. amy would have the best chance of defeating donald trump. i have said that already. i don't know that she can get through primary. >> i was going say, don't be dismayed. i don't necessity if you are. don't be dismayed by that. we have democratic voters are not represented by the far left. they're represented more by what joe biden is for. by the way, who is going to bring back the democrats that voted for trump in wisconsin and pennsylvania? >> not elizabeth warren. right. i couldn't agree with you more. i agree with you. i'm just not sure the party is completely sorted out on that. it seems like a lot of democrats, even moderate democrats are rushing to where aoc is on the green new deal and things that i think turn off the vast majority of dem

this is democrats and democratic leani ining voters. she's in the top tier.nding as she starts the democratic race. the question is, what are democrats looking for? not who, but what. on the what issue, warren has some issues. a good chance to beat trump. that's the number one priority for democratic voters. the right experience, willing to work with the gop. if you are biden, you think this is you. if you're elizabeth warren on the question of, can i beat trump you have to deal with the nagging issue about her native american claims. she listed herself as an american indian. trying to put that controversy behind her. >> i am sorry that i extended confusion about tribal citizenship and tribal sovereignty and for harm caused. i am also sorry for not being more mindful of this decades ago. nothing about my background ever had anything to do with any job i got in any place. it's been fully documented. >> on the issues, she's a good fit with the democratic base. the question is if priority one is beating trump, does she need to do more to put this one behind her?

the top democrats aren't signing up for it. >> chairman yarmuth is a democrat from kentucky fightingrat from washington state. one will support the hard left and the other will try to find a more moderate form of government control. you see presidential candidates like kamala harris saying we are trying to do what we think our base will like us for. but they are careful. now socialism is around and they are saying maybe i'm a little nervous about what's getting the kid excited. liz: the democrats started out 124 wanted it. that has plummeted to 106. yarmuth said he's going to hold a hearing on all these medicare bills in june. do you think we'll see legislation by the end of the year? >> i don't think you will see anything that has a serious chance of passing. once the democrats come together and figure out their platform. chairman will allow what he wants democrats to run on. liz: this debate need an unemotional, clinical look at the facts. the people pushing for it get upset when you ask about the price tag for it. they get just set when you point out it will wipe out medicare, med

in terms of where i am, who i am, i'm a progressive democrat. i'm a democrat. i'm a proud democrat.elieve that the people in our country today want leaders who understand that right now everyone does not have equal opportunity to success. and we need to restore america's promise for equal opportunity to success. i believe that right now we've got a country of folks who in particular the working middle class who deserve to have more support and that the rules have been written over the last several decades in a way that have excluded them. and we can look most recently at the tax bill passed that benefits the top 1% and big corporations to the exclusion of helping middle class americans which is why i'm proposing we change the tax code. >> you propose to take back the tump tax cut? >> yes. >> give that to the middle class? is that it for you or do you think the government needs to raise more revenue? elizabeth warren has the plan, the mega rich get taxed higher. is that a good plan or start by taking away the trump tax cut? >> we start there but i absolutely believe we have to look a

we have -- >> democrat. sorry. democrat from virginia. we have eleanor clift, who is an msnbc cent contributor, contributor for the daily beast and i used to watch her on mclaughlin group back in the day and we are moderated by bob cusack, editor in chief of the hill. >> thank you very much. thanks for coming out. and i think this will be a very fascinating discussion because you have veterans of washington politics. i first want to start with what's going on right now. not the snow, but the government shutdown. this is the longest shutdown ever now. we're entering week number four. congressman moran, how is this going to end? >> i wish i knew. the president doesn't know how it is going to end. nor do nancy and chuck. that's almost one word now. it's got to end pretty soon. the people are suffering. i think as soon as wall street reflects a certain amount of loss to the national economy, that may get the white house's attention more than the pleadings on behalf of federal employees. my guess is that we could easily go into february though

and what is the type that will help these congressional states state democratic or in iowa, where democrats flipped two house seats, to keep swing seats in the democratic column? chairman price: i think for us, we need someone who's going to appeal to these upper midwest, working-class voters. that is something that we need. we saw what happened in 2016. we need someone who can build those relationships. that's why we're excited about the iowa caucuses and the opportunities it creates, to help candidates figure out a strong message to run in the upper midwest and throughout the country. josh: and are you worried about it? there are some nominees, some candidates that have pretty high negatives early on, like elizabeth warren has a net net negative favorability rating. michael bloomberg had pretty high negatives among caucus-goers. is there anyone you worry about that could hurt the democratic party's chance of winning these key congressional seats? chairman price: no, not at all. it's so early in the process. we're still in the introductory phase. weight will be and this for a little bit. m

paul: but democrats seem -- a lot of democrats are supporting it.any supporters are there in the house and senate? >> 67 in the house and a dozen in the senate. paul: several of them are prominent. >> they don't even know what's in it. i think they endorse it because of the quote, unquote, green new deal. paul: kamala harris is for it. it'sing from that sherrod brown backed away, saying i'm not going to endorse all the details. >> partially because it would kill manufacturing workers and a lot of union jobs. paul: in ohio. >> in ohio and the midwest. paul: okay. senator mcconnell bringing it up for a vote, how is it -- explain to me, jason, your political sage, how is it a stunt to ask democrats to vote on something they have proposed? >> exactly. [ laughter ] >> watching that clip of mcconnell, he seems barely able to contain a smirk at the end. that's exactly what he's challenging them to do. put your money where your mouth is here, let's see if you're really for all of the stuff that allysia was just laying out there. i also wonder if many democr

shannon: i democrats adopting a strategy to keep region you have stopped democrats in power, tellingginians to reflect on their own past? let's bring in the endeavor abc executive, members phil thompson and chair of the state services, candidate for the surface district, bj jordan, great to have you with us tonight. i went to read something a lot of us have been thinking, the wall street journal peace, democrats identity meltdown. imagine the cognitive democratic dissonance if mister fairfax who is black is forced to resign because of improved allegations of sexual assault he denies while the two white men survive despite racial offenses that they admit. that is the conversation a lot of friends brought up this week in. >> i'm a republican, justin fairfax is a democrat, we don't agree a lot of policy or politics but i think he's getting a raw deal. the accusations made against him are very serious and deserve to be heard but he deserves to be heard as well. due process is not just a legal construct but a societal one that must be adhered to in this case. >> he has spoken out about th

three resign, the governorship would go to a republican.as >> dan: the democratic virginia democratic virginia -- was catapulted with these comments about abortions, remember this? >> we talk about abortions that are done with the consent obviously, the mother to consent and the physicians, by the way. and it's done where may be severe deformities and the fetus, nonviable. so in this particular test, i can tell you exactly what happened. the infant would be delivered in the infant would be comfortable. the infant would be mutated to, if the mother and the family desires. and between the mother and the doctor. >> dan: tammy, doug, tammy i will go to you. but again, tammy bruce, lawrence jones and doug schoen. tammy, we are all forgetting where this started, the new cycle is so fast but the start up with those g.o.p. radio stations and familiar and used to live in the area, and i think the mistake northam made he described abortion as it actually is. he became a political liability for the democrats. interesting that all of the scandal surfaced at that exact same time. there are some al

my parents were democrats. my grandparents on both sides were democrats. i want to ask either of you are there any real democrats left up there? because i hear them talk, and they do not represent anything that the democrat party, to me, is supposed to be. host: what makes a real democrat? well, the democrats used the to help people. find work for them. just for the people. now, i don't know what they are. host: why are you still a democrat? -- caller: out of all these democrats i could vote for, my only hope is joe biden, and i am not even sure he is a real democrat or not. host: mike lillis? guest: i am not sure what specific issues she is talking about, but she listed the frustration of a lot of people hit by the recession and did not bounce back in the way a lot of people did in the upper-middle-class and wealthy did. the economy is moving around, and everyone reads about the stock market in the papers, but there is a group of people that are still struggling, and she is voicing their frustrations. the democrats would love to think they are reaching pe

democrats are for border security. we heard even less democrats -- last week democrats talking about a smart wall, different enforcement mechanisms. question is whether it's going to be a big wall that you can see or something else. host: coming back to your story on dealmakers, who could president work with in that committee that is meeting, the 17 lawmakers? guest: i'm not so sure the president can work with richard shelby, head of the appropriations committee in the, -- in the senate, and nita lowey, also kay granger, top republican in the house. they all have a long history of striking deals. they have said repeatedly that if they could get in a room amongst themselves, they can work this out. the senate drafted a bill 10 democrats worked for. it has $1.6 billion for new fencing. 65 miles along the rio grande. everyone could claim victory. they are dealmakers. you could see that brought up to and call it a day. $2.5 billionthe question is with the president accept that? these are not chain-link fences. these are th

democrats have to rise up. need big mouth women, especially black women to get y for ae and rall democratic president. people don't watch the health care. they are going to die. host: who would be your pick for the democratic challenger? caller: i would rally with joe biden or elizabeth warren. she is speaking for all of these mothers. would you put senator warren on top of that ticket? caller: she would be vice president. i would put joe biden. handle --dle, he can host: are you still there? caller: i cannot hear you. host: go ahead. caller: ok. joe biden, he can handle are now president. he has the come back. he is on the issue. elizabeth warren is real. northlet's go to jay from carolina. caller: good morning. i appreciate the opportunity. like the lady said before, i would vote for joe biden because i heard hillary clinton and him had gotten together and discussed about running in 2020. when i think about it, i hesitate. of theoughout this term president that is in office today, everyone is talking about kn

talking about the democrats. we know that the democratic response is a feature of the state of the union. the out party, the party that does not hold the white house, traditionally does the response after the state of the union. last year, it was given by joe kennedy from a place near and dear to your heart. e.j: my hometown. can you talk about what we might expect to see from the democratic response? e.j.: yeah, a couple of things. i do think that a lot of the commentary on trump is summarized by president george w. bush's line "the soft big history of low expectations." he really does profit from that. you read that from a teleprompter and you are great. as ben was talking he was underscoring something very important. trump is an incumbent who behaves as if he is in the opposite. really striking that he does give some of the elements ben talk about, a great economy, he wants a paint a picture and in a way he needs to for his purposes on immigration, of the country in such a dire state that, after two years, he

>> the democrats have a problem in that their voters in both 2016 and 2018 democrats got more votes than republicans. 9 million more for the u.s. senate in 2018 than the republicans did. yet the democrats lost two seats in the senate. in 2016, hillary clinton got 3 million more votes than donald trump yet lost the white house. the problem is obvious to anybody who looks at the map. democrats are clustered in a handful of coastal states, overrepresented in those states, and too thin on the ground in places like ohio, missouri, wisconsin and so forth. >> this is from "the new york times." for those who forgot on election night, donald trump winning the electoral vote with 306. hillary clinton at 232. these states, pennsylvania, ohio, michigan, wisconsin and iowa, were considered key to the democrats. you can see as you mentioned the coastal states, the upper midwest and out west, this is a county by county breakdown. you can see the sea of red with the blue along the coast and in colorado. primarily, the flyover country is republican country. >> that's right. democrats have been wringing t

so democrats clearly have staked out the moral high ground on so democrats have staked out the grounde and others. i think you have a choice to make. it depends on whether there is something at the end of their name, if it's not the moral high ground you have, then it's just politics. >> we were surprised when we saw the blackface and now the attorney general of virginia. >> i thit jarring a public official would have this in 84 past in the record. because they have hold themselves out as someone in a position of leadership in the state, in the community. clearly, these things went on. two people in the virginia governments alone have said this in the last few days they were blackface as part of some kind of costume, so it's not unheard of at all. these things went on. the question is, not whether these people can't move on from their past or learn from it or be forgiven. the question, wolf, is whether or not they should be in a position of public trust. i they lot of democrats have weighed in and said, we're not so sure about northam. >> all three are in deep trouble. they have a lot

let's say that the democrats prevail, the hard core left wing democrats prevail, there was a democratic woman who put out a tweet yesterday saying zero dollars for dhs and they put a bill with zero money for the wall or 800 million. some absurdedly low season, he can't possibly sign that. >> on the democratic side an aide tells cnn if talks do break down they are prepared to present a bill in the house of representatives that would fund dhs through at least september and keep the government open. unclear if the republicans in the senate would actually put that up for a vote. >> as the shutdown loms, boris, the president is headed to the border tomorrow. what can you tell us? >> that's right. president trump is headed to el paso, texas. you heard him talk about he will pagso in the past. he is trying to use it as an example of a place where a border wall worked and made an area safer though statistics show that previous to any sort of planning far a border wall that city began to get safer. he had an exchange with amy klobuchar on twitter earlier, he will likely mention elizabeth warren

a pro-life democrat. son of a pro-life democratic governor who had real credibility in the state. it does not seem like such a surprising group in retrospect, but at the time it was smart to go against his party to pick someone who was pro-life to run and win that state. also jim webb in virginia. that was the race that gave them the senate majority. he was reagan's former labor secretary. so again schumer is going with someone else. that was a big upset. people were talking about george allen running for president. schumer raised a ton of money. he is one of the best fundraisers in washington. he has a lot of contacts in new york. that helps. >> are you talking about financial people on wall street? >> he is very adept. i think his favorite job is maybe head of the democratic senatorial campaign committee. even if other people have taken that job, he is still the head of the democratic senatorial campaign committee. to. emanuel did this when they were trying to take over. they went and got conservative moderate centrists who they thought were more accessible. i don't know if you

democrats have to be very careful here, because he's going to present this list that i think both democrats and republicans can agree upon. certainly there will be a divergence in how you achieve those goals, but i think it's an opportunity for both democrats and republicans to say, "okay, we're actually going to legislate, do our job, and of democrats are obstinate about this than president trump is in the position to say that if they are unwilling to work, they are still not coming to the table. speech e what about that question rick if you look very reasonable and he put things on the table that everybody would want, would that be a disaster r democrats? how would they counter that, if he said, "here come the border barrier yes, but smart will and all these other things, plus let's visit immigration paid this is my offer." >> ed: and it was able say. they will say one word, "no." he has tried to work on infrastructure. >> melissa: a few permits under to the country -- >> ed: i agree with you that they could look bad, democrats, but on the other hand he just reach out to them two weeks ag

it's going to be a balancing act for the democrats. >> now that the democrats have the power, will they conduct credible investigations, follow the facts, take it slow, sometimes keep your mouth shut and be quiet until you get to the end, or will they look to generate cable tv, fundraising letters and the like? and the flip side is how does the administration adjust to this new order. two years ago there were hearings but not direct oversights. there was not putting cabinets in the seats. the cabinet relative to that wouldn't come today. so the deputy is here today. he said, sorry, your boss should be in the chair. this is him going after adam schiff. they have sparred for a long time. the president says, now adam schiff announces that he'll be looking at every aspect of my life, both financial and personal, even though there's no reason to do it, never happened before, unlimited dpresidential harassment. the dems and their committees are going nuts. the republicans never did this to president obama, there would be no time left to run government. i hear other committee heads will do the

alex: yeah, the time the vote was cast, democrats, the smart democrats thought it was the politically smart thing to do. carl: barack obama, hillary clinton -- alex: well, barack obama wasn't in the senate then and he opposed the iraq war. it became a big issue. it was hillary's achilles' heel in 2008. she voted for the war resolution. so did john kerry, john edwards, joe biden, chris dodd. any democrat who thought they had to be strong on defense and had to vote for that war, it was the worst vote. i think if any of them were to tell you truthfully, the worst vote of their career. , if youthe issue here want to look at senator schumer as a politician, the criticism of schumer is that he sometimes leans too much toward political expediency. that he is someone, and -- he is pragmatic, but the other side of pragmatism can be being politically expedient. rather than principle. so here is what may be political experience took precedence over principal. but even members of his leadership team, like dick durbin voted no. ron wyden, senior democrat, voted no. robert byrd, one of the most con

do you think they would be welcome in the democratic party to be key surrogates for the democratic nominee? >> chairman buckley, you want to start? >> i thought troy would be answering first. you know, the clintons have had a very long relationship with the people of new hampshire. i first met them in 1979 when they came. at more news spoken hampshire democratic party bills then -- than clinton has. that's up to them to decide. i know they're very busy with the clinton foundation and the historic work in puerto rico, africa, and all across the world. >> and chairman price? >> yeah, i think they would definitely be welcome here. secretary clinton build a strong network when she ran for president in two dozen eight and 2016. bill clinton has strong ties to the state, as well. again, it's up to them to decide whether they wish to do that. i think they would find people here who are very happy to see them. >> we have two minutes left. either of you have a closing question for the chairman? >> to chairman buckley, who the most organized in new hampshire? and do someone like bill -- bernie sande

he wants to say, democrats kept me from doing this and why democrats and rapists are pouring in, all the rhetoric. i don't think it's a great strategy but it's the best strategy he has. this almost guarantees he'll have it for the 2020 election. >> there you go. i want to know about the timeline. when stephen miller was on this weekend on the news show he said he thought the wall could be built around september of 2020. how that is an emergency, 19 months from now, sounds like a political emergency. is there no way to expedite this in the courts so we don't have to wait 20 months to find out the outcome and it can happen sooner so it doesn't have to play in 2020? >> the courts operate in different cases. many states filed this first case and there will be more cases. it's hard to say which cases filed in which districts will take how long. the courts can expedite it. they're not going to expedite it for political reasons. the judicial branch is on a different schedule than the political side of things. while they might expedite it to some degree if they can, it makes sense for the st

guest: the democrats have a problem in that their voters in 2016 and 2018, democrats got more votes than republicans. 9 million more for u.s. senate in 2018. yet they lost two seats in the senate. a 2016, hillary clinton got 3 million more votes than donald trump yet lost the white house. the problem is obvious to anyone who looks at the map. democrats are clustered in a handful of coastal states, overrepresented in those states thin on the-- too ground in states like ohio and mississippi. host: donald trump winning the electoral vote. the states, pennsylvania, ohio, michigan and iowa considered key to the democrats and you can see the coastal states, the upper midwest and out west, this is a by county breakdown and you can with theea of read blue along the coast. -- you can see the sea of red with the blue along the coast. guest: democrats have been trying to figure out how they can win given this geographic spread. here is hope that they can do better in the southwest, the south, georgia and texas. candidates performed pretty well in 2018. we are offering a different idea which is how

let's say for sake of this discussion that the democrats prevail and the hard-core left wing democrats prevail. a democrat congresswoman who put out a tweet about zero dollars for dhs. let's say that the hard-core left wing of the democrat party prevails in this negotiation and put a bill on the president's desk with zero money for the wall or $800 million, some absurdly low number. how does he sign that? he cannot in good faith sign that. >> the president of the united states, tonight in el paso trying to convince people to support his border wall. he will be having a dueling match with the democrat beto o'rourke, a former congressman, who will also be holding a rally tonight in el paso. john and alisyn? >> joining us is nia-malika henderson and joe lockhart, former clinton white house press secretary and mark mckinnon, former adviser to the george w. bush and john mccain campaigns and creator and executive producer of "the circus." it's deja vu all over again. here we are with our countdown clock talking about how many days they have, just four, to figure out the government shutdown.

democrats are not buying it. will give you one ridiculous example because i like to listen to all the channels. all rachel maddow could talk about was the syntax and grammar of the speech. so happens, i was an english major in college. i would say my grammar is fairly good. i don't know what she is talking about. everybody on the other channels, cnn and msnbc are going berserk over the speech and looking to criticize. i think it's time the country pulled together. after listening to the speech and the comments on the speech and hearing what chuck schumer said today, there is no way this president or any president or any republican could pull this country together. we have become divided and i truly believe we are headed toward socialism. tot: since you compared him jfk, specifically what about it rises to the level of speeches by jfk? caller: you are testing my age, here. union,irst state of the he spoke about a new frontier. he spoke about bringing everybody together and working as one country. jfk was able to u

you know, back then there were pro-trade democrats, you know, -- quite a few more pro-trade democrats, you know, quite a few other that is i could name and things were shifting then and had been shifting really since the 1970's. my first job out of law school was working on the ways and means committee as a staffer. the trade act of 1974 when wilbur mills was the chairman. 25 members on the committee, the subcommittees and most of the people were pro-trade, democrats and republicans. it became a pretty conservative bill, you know, a protectionist bill. we call it protectionist liberalism because it gave president nixon and then later ford very strong negotiating authority but it also put in a lot of protectionist trade remedies in there and so i think that things are changing. i started writing about a book on trade and labor about how to make improvements and should make improvements on it in the world trade order. but then on november 6, 2016 all of a sudden the perspective changed on how we save the world trade order and so the conclusion i had to rewrite, but that is the whole iss

democrats criticized republicans now and republicans criticize a democratic president. guest: none of this is dictatorship. obama bragged about using a pen to pass legislation. every party gets mad about it but it does get worse and worse as we move forward. it is not a dictatorship. he is moving around money to build a wall. president trump is the many things to pull back executive power. i don't think it was because he does not want executive powder -- power. he was just rolling back obama initiatives. may be each president will roll the other president's abuses back and maybe that is a good thing. maybe the partisanship works in that way but we are not yet close to a dictatorship and when they areeak like that, undermining legitimate. debate we should be having. -- which limit debate we should be having. host: we learned that william is now back inside the republican party and gearing up to challenge donald trump. guest: i don't think it is going to make a difference. if anyone was going to challenge from, it would be on the right. a more moderate candidate is going

for 28 years, we have honored new absurd democrats. new democrats.their efforts starting at that first dinner and continuing for many years after. we never would have had the resources to build and maintain our parties infrastructure. we are proud of their endless contributions, walter and leo, and all those who have been honored with this award. we could never have one. tonight's recipient of the award is not only a consistent year-round donors to the state party, he is also serving as a member of the new hampshire house and is the highly effective chair of one of our best local organizations that we have in the state of new hampshire. tonight, it is my honor to theent the 2019 award to chair for all he does. >> and want to save this is a very big surprise and when i was asked to bring guests, i brought my predecessor because one does not do anything without building on what people have done before you. so would you stand up? thank you.

(charlie) no drain, no pain. just tear, eat... and go! try all of my tuna, salmon and chicken pouches. ♪ >> tucker: socialism is in the news for the first time in a long time, senator bernie sanders from vermont and congresswoman coexandra ocasio-cortez have become famous for calling for socialism in this country, the president used his estate of the union to respond to them directly, here's part of it. >> president trump: we are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country.n america was founded on liberty and independence, and not government coercion, domination, and control. we were born free and we will stay free. tonight we renew our resolve that america will never be a socialist country. >>n' tucker: darn, said bernie sanders, he wasn't impressed, he sat looking even grumpie

tone get into the democratic polling for 2020.ated by this. what does the number show skblus thank you for the plug, it's i have much appreciated we're melding in digital and television network, i like it. i think this is important to point out where we are now versus four years ago when biden decided not to run. we see that biden is in much stronger shape now than where he was four years ago. 62% of registered voters think it is time for bide tone run versus four years ago it was 47. and actually more voters last time around did not want him to run versus this time. look at that, that's a 34 point margin democratic voters want him to run. where has that translated to the polls so far? well, we say -- hi, everybody. >> hi. >> we see joe biden well out ahead. and this has been consistent where he has held the lead in all the polls taken, whether it's now, three months ago, so on, so forth. >> and then many people asked, is it just name recognition? is it because people know who joe biden is? but you've got numbers that indicate may

but, i think that the democrats have a job in this congress, showing the country with democratic governance would look like if democrats took back the power to pass things. and, pelosi's task is really interesting because if you look at this freshman class, it's really extraordinary, it really is, the two sets of constituencies, quite different that the democratic party has to bring together. there are progressives that we hear from, quite often, there are a whole lot of people elected from suburban districts who, 40 years ago might well have been moderate to liberal republicans back when we had moderate to liberal republicans, people like connie morella in montgomery county. and, the democratic party has to get two people working together or they're gonna have a real problem. there are some things in healthcare in infrastructure, healthcare, training, where they can come together, these are the kinds of issues they want to push to the four. but on the republican side, what are they want to talk about ? their whole focus up to now has been judges, tax cuts and a lot of talk about immigratio

democrats used to agree.t's ridiculous they are standing down on an important issue and it's making our country less safe. judge jeanine: today another arm of this left socialist-leaning thinking when kirsten gillibrand, the senator from new york, one of the 2020 hopefuls said it was an urgent goal to eliminate private health insurance. what is she talking about and why? >> you just talked about socialism and how it's creeping in. this is how democrats are bringing socialism into our country. 177 million people in this country right now are on private understand plans. the democrats are saying we want to cancel all your private plans. we want the government to dictate to you your health insurance and we do not want you to have a relationship with your doctor and make choices based on your healthcare personally. and this is just an overreach. it's a government takeover our healthcare and it will bankrupt our country. this is another step toward socialism. it shows how far left the democrat party has become. ju

democrats sat in angry silence. watch this response to the suddenly controversial suggestion that it's wrong to kill children. >> i'm asking congress to pass legislationing to prohibi pro-- legislation to prohibit lat late-term abortion. >> tucker: for democrats, only flashes of cheerfulness came when president noted record number of women won election. democrats stood and cherried for themselves. some of them danced. we'll have more details from the speech in a minute. first tonight, we have still more news to bring you from that chaotic developing nation formallformally known oz as comh of virginia. it seem to come out of nowhere just last week. first you remember democratic governor ralph northam casually endorsed legalizing abortion. hours after he said that, northam was found to have a picture of man wearing a klu klux klan uniform in black face on his med school year page. almost the entire democrats called on him to resign. among vocal was attorney general of volunteers mark herring. he was apaul-- appalled.

host: we had a call or say i'm a blue dog democrat, what happened to the blue dog democrats?: when i was here in 2009, they were more socially conservative and often southern democrats. as the country has sorted itself out, as the south has become more republican except in the more urban areas in the north has become more democratic, we morelost a lot of those conservative southern democrats. i would not confuse the new democratic coalition with the blue dogs, we tend to come from those more moderate districts but the blue dogs tended to be very socially conservative, which is not something i would say about new democrats. host: jordan is in north carolina, a democrat. good morning. caller: good morning. voter is a young understand that republicans would want border security. my question to represented times -- representative himes, do you think we need border security? host: you say you are young voter, how young? caller: i'm 18. guest: i'm great that -- that's great, the 18-year-olds do not vote nearly enough. thank you for the question. of course democrats want border secu

writing, "if democrats do not oust mr. fairfax at a time when the party has taken a zero tolerance stance on sexual misconduct in the #maytoo aero, they could anger female voters but the specter of him being pushed out while two older white men stay in office were deeply troubled many african-americans." boy, this is dicey territory. charlie, what do you think of the right form to investigate these claims? would it be an impeachment proceeding, or how would you be do that if no one's pressing charges at this point in time? >> charlie: whether it's an impeachment proceeding or just hearings of some sort, that's probably the best way to do thi this. these are serious charges that people are talking about here. i get a little equitable when people try to make the comparison between this and brett kavanaugh, though. of course, these allegations are a whole lot to substantiated. you have women coming forward who are named, who know of a time and a place where the things that alleged to have occurred. all of that is very differe

justin fairfax is a democrat.policy but i think he's getting a raw deal. the accusations against him are very serious and they deserve to be heard but also he deserves to be heard as well. due process is not just a legal construct. it's a societal one must be adhered to in this case. >> shannon: he has said "everyone deserves to be heard, even when faced with the allegations, still standing up for everyone's right to be heard but i'm also standing up for due process." despite the things going on with the governor and attorney general with issues about racial insensitivity in their past, seems like the lieutenant governor's most in danger of losing his job. >> it's distressing. you think governor northam's allegations are more serious from a standpoint of how we fee feel. everyone talking about the black face but it's the klansman he is standing next to. with justin fairfax, we let the democrats know if they tried to push them out, there would be pushback from african-americans. we let them know this was nonat issu

guest: it should be democratic. i want to fault the dnc for not having more than enough debates to get the people to know our candidates. msnbc and nbc will host the first debate. tom has not announced the city. two executive nights so we would have enough airtime for candidates to share their platform and their vision. host: it is not the afternoon debate or the evening debate. table fillede a with experienced proven leaders and experienced public servants. the individuals who will be selected based on the most recent polls starting now, but they will also be -- it will -- if you haven donors in all 50 states, you must show some viability. you cannot be summit who just wants to promote themselves. you have to show some viability and you will be selected based on that. host: let's get to your phone calls for donna brazile. greg is first up in washington, d.c. i am gregory from d.c. and i really appreciate donna brazile. guest: thank you. caller: i will have my daughters get that book. d.c. have nothing in the taxati

takeover of the democrats and that is president donald trump.nry, what do you make of it? >> i think you're absolutely right. reminds me in 1983 election when the loonie-left took over labour. you had margaret thatcher, massive majority with minority of the vote and donald trump will be rooting for this loonie-left takeover of the democratic party and egg it out over the next year. americans want like we have been talking common sense solutions that keep getting promised, that's what bush said he was going to do and didn't deliver, that's what obama said he was going to do and didn't deliver, trump is going to win landslide. >> i agree with that. more left and left all the way to primary or biden, look, this is ridiculous, let's get back to the center where the votes are? >> sure they will, they did it during midterm. a lot of people talked about the left, the left, overnight progressives during the primary and you noticed when general election happened a lot moved back to the center, like it or not most americans are in the center, for people t

a foreign agent on the payroll of the democratic party, fusion gps, a spread or for the democratic party russia to gather a bunch of garbage against candidate trump and used to get a warrants and it's unverified to this day and that should scare every american and i'm not going to let that go and hold people accountable and mr. horowitz is doing his own thing. maria: yes and we understand that senator. we've been covering this for a year and a half and our viewers understand exactly what went on as well so who are you poised to subpoena to get to the truth? >> okay it was renewed four times. anybody that signed the certification to the court that there was probable cause to believe that carter page was acting as an agent of russian entity i want to know all those people come forward and tell us why did you certified to the court that there was probable cause, and did you know that the dossier was paid for by the democratic party? apparently mr. ohr, bruce ohr, whose wife worked at fusion gps told mccabe and other senior doj officials that mr. steele the author of the dossier hated trump,

you threw out a figure for the democrats. i don't know what the democratic figure is. lagelated in terf where they are. somewhere in between perhaps there is an issue. there are more important issues there. >> that sounds like -- i don't mean to interrupt but as you know the dollar figure is the political football here. >> sure. >> sounds like you are saying there is wiggle room below the $5.7 billion that the president requested and let's be frank, that the president was willing to shut down the government for. you think the republicans are willing to go below that figure? >> most republicans in the room are very reasonable people. we don't want to let a situation where if we can get close or get a fair deal right now that we can start or continue actually funding the wall. i was just to the border. we are actually building the wall. i want the american people to know that. i have been in texas, in california and we are actually constructing the wall. would i like to see $5.7 billion now? yes. we have another appropriation cycle right around the corner once we get pas
