joe biden is going to change the fate of joe biden.oing to win iowa and new hampshire or do really, really well in those two and have momentum going into the two states he's stronger and into super tuesday only three days after south carolina or not do well there. in which case there needs to be a viable centrist alternative to try to stop bernie sanders. that's the role mike bloomberg sees himself as playing. whether we get to a brokered convention, someone gets majority, that's uncharted waters. see what happens. most important, over 30% of delegates will be selected on super tuesday. if we democrats don't have a viable centrist candidate going into that then the sanders train could become unstoppable. that is the theory of the case. >> phil, we know -- >> if that happens the democratic party will erupt into a civil war like we have never seen. bernie sanders supporters are going to completely lose it. you thought 2016 was bad versus hillary, forget it under th scenario. >> we know the president loves to play, democrats trying to ste

joe biden has no relationship. the republican strategy is they can't answer the questions. they can't answer the facts. they can't answer the house managers. every day it is a new shiny object when they focus on jerry nadler. one day focus on joe biden. none of them have any relevance to the charges against the president. thank you everybody. [inaudible conversations] spirit trying to explain how joe biden even though his son with no experience was put on the board of burisma but they want to act like while joe biden was vice president all he was doing was implementing us policy he had nothing to do with it just something he was doing for his job. so i think what they figured out they have a case that joe biden does have issues why was his son picked up on the board? so house democrats are trying to explain that spirit does this make you think a little bit. >> but somehow they argue the fact but biden who said publicly he had no authority over it that was good somehow but then to change ambassadors that just makes no sense. >> have you heard anything? >> that's when it star

of the pack and making a new ad to say that he is the best candidate to take on trump. >> he has joe bidenn his mind, because trump knows that biden is going to beat him in pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin, and the states that we need to take back the presidency. >> reporter: biden is touting the experience on the world stage, but that long record is facing new scrutiny as foreign policy is suddenly front and center. sanders intends to aggressively challenge the former vice president on this front, his aides tell cnn as he has been doing since the iran crisis escalated. >> joe biden voted and helped to lead the effort for the war in iraq. the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in the modern history of this country. >> where are we? >> reporter: amy klobuchar is looking for her own breakout moment and selling herself as a midwest moderate to win in trump country. and so the strains of electability, and foreign policy, but anderson, we have not seen a major foreign policy debate inside of the democratic party for more than a decade, and that is one thing, but the dynamic between warre

joe biden -- and this is why i am caucusing for joe biden, and i will stand with joe biden in a matter what. joe biden made it possible that didn't have to worry about my family if i but the ultimate prize in my job. he sought to what that families of those that lost their lives in my line of work, that their families were taking care of, and that is so important. family is number one in life. it never one thing my second family is my firefighters brothers and sisters. these guys have my back at all times. i don't know if you really understand that on a lot of, days we are called into some, very very bad situations. your worst days, and we see them again and again and environments that not good for us health wise and not good for us as far as being a dangerous situations. we face them almost daily. these guys have our backs. i back. i have their back. we practice what we call to win two out. when we go into a, fire there's two of us that go in there to rescue you and do the things that we need to do, to put your profiting get you out of that burning structure. there is two guys outside

joe biden threatened-- joe biden, vice-president. united states and we just saw a video which would encourage every news outlet to actually show the video of joe biden bragging how he told the president of ukraine he was going to cut off a billion dollars, he was going to block a billion dollars in foreign aid to ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor and in joe biden's own words, sonofabitch, they fired the guy. >> you said you'd answer the question, so-- >> hold on, hold on. >> i'm sorry, let him answer the question. >> i did ask the question-- >> i guess that the press moves to obsess over the latest bombshell. listen, i don't know what john bolton's book says or doesn't say. i've seen the new york times coverage, but at the end of the day, it doesn't impact the legal issue before this senate. the legal issue before this senate is whether a president has the authority to investigate corruption. so the house managers built their entire case on the proposition that investigating burisma skrupgs... we have just seen two hours of ev

president look bad and make people look at this evidence again, then they'll push to say, we want joe biden called, we want hunter biden called, and we want a bunch of people drawn into this mess so we can say, look, they're guilty, too, or they did something wrong, too. that's the fight going on in the republican party now, and it's tough, brianna, because these republicans do not want to be seen as just a rubber stamp although some of them clearly would like to be that at this point. >> very good point, tom. i tend to like information. you tend to like information, too, right? >> a bit. >> tom foreman, thank you for walking us through that. you're looking at live pictures of tonight's debate stage. this is where former vice president biden has just arrived for his walk-through in des moines. currently biden is locked if a four-person race in iowa. he has just 20 days, as do all the candidates, they have 20 days left until the first democratic caucus, so time is running out to win over caucus goers and voters. we also have national political reporter for the "new york times," austed herndo

joe biden is in the middle. i am a deer hunter and i don't believe in gun control for some things need to have stipulations on them. i think that he will handle iran different. he is more of a diplomat than the rest of them. i think he is for the worker. socialisticr the type or promoting like bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. i think they are living in policies that do not represent what this country stands for. i think joe biden is a very good diplomat. he is more in the middle-of-the-road. i don't know if you remember the reagan democrats that voted for reagan but they were democrats. they were conservative. joe biden relates i am a steelworker. i think he relates to the common worker more. would beis best chance the experience he has dealing with people on both sides. he believes in some things, i am a member of the nra and i am against assault weapons. he is not out here trying to totally take the second amendment. i am an avid deer hunter. prospect of in the people who need especially the experience he

biden: yes, joe will work on it. it's wrong. it's wrong. the big corporations have to pay their fair share. not more, not less. >> all right, ready? mrs. biden: yeah. picture?nt that in the go. we >> one, two, three. mrs. biden: thank you. how are you? >> how are you? name?iden: what's your >> maddie. this is my first election i get to vote in. you.biden: good for are you excited? >> yes, i am. mrs. biden: thank you for voting for joe biden. thank you. thank you. hey, how are you? >> nice to see you. name?iden: what's your >> george. mrs. biden: george. coming.u for >> thanks. mrs. biden: thank you. hello. >> hillary. mrs. biden: oh, ok. [inaudible] mrs. biden: thank you. thank you. >> you're welcome. [inaudible] >> republican caucusing in for joe. >> that means a lot. young.iden: thank you. thank you, thank you. [laughter] [cheers and applause] mrs. biden: thank you. >> you're welcome. mrs. biden: you made my day. [laughter] >> hi, jill. this is my husband, bill. bill.iden: hi, how are you? oh, great. [inaudible] well, thank you. mrs. biden

if you back a statist like joe biden, shouldn't you be surprised by joe biden?> democrats, independents, some republicans look at joe biden and their reaction is, maybe somebody can be in the white house who doesn't say crazy things or do crazy things or looking at twitter 24/7 because we are afraid of war or conflict or something like that. the credit card stuff aside, i'm happy to talk about it -- >> tucker: wait, are you making the case you should vote for biden because he doesn't say crazy things, mr. clean and articulate guy? >> biden, as you know, tucker, joe biden says do not compare me to the almighty, compare to the alternative. he's going to be running against a guy who cannot pronounce the words "origins" or "anonymous." i'm prepared to take my chances. >> tucker: this is a sincere question! he was literally a shell for the credit card companies based in delaware. he was one of the forces behind the bank received a bill that shafted a lot of people in the middle class. in the moment when people are yearning for populist economics, that's your candidat

joe biden gave himself away. there is much to dissect in this but he immediately thought the guy was a bernie sanders -- i know. >> harris: any set i'm voting for tom steyer but i would vote for you in the election come in the general if you make it through. >> chris: it is him and tom, i guess. >> melissa: dagen is so right. he gave away his weakness. he said are you of bernie sanders supporters? speak to trick us before we all know it's biden and bernie at the top. >> harris: we have an abbreviated "outnumbered" because of our coverage of the impeachment trial continues at the bottom of the hour. "the new york times" reporting biden officials floated the idea of forming an alliance with amy klobuchar when they get to iowa. "the two campaigns could encourage their supporters in the state to back the other candidate in precincts where they fall short of the 50% threshold required to reach the second round of balloting." but amy klobuchar is reportedly not interested. chris. >> chris: what do they think the voters

and that is where joe biden will deliver. like i said, there are many great candidates in our primary with far-reaching ideas, but the plain fact is that there are many democrats and independents in other states across our nation who will not support what they see as pie-in-the-sky candidates when it comes to the general election. these big ideas could cost us the white house. the democratic party needs to be able to win the general election for all is lost. i'm going to say that again. the democratic nominee needs to be able to win the general election, or all is lost. and that's why we need to nominate joe biden here he's a leader who can unite the democratic party. he's a leader who can unite the entire nation. joe biden can walk onto the job on day one and begin to heal our shattered homeland and restore our nations standing in the world. we need joe biden. i wholeheartedly support him and i ask that you do as well. and now i am honored to introduce to you the next president of united states, joe biden. [cheers and applau

he only cares because of joe biden. because he is trying to protect his own electoral interest, and that is exactly what alan dershowitz said. he said if it is in the national interest -- are you comfortable with that, david? do you think asking -- >> david: do you believe the founding fathers set up impeachment over a campaign finance violation? that is exactly -- then what law was broken? >> jessica: what law? that he took aid, that he got help in his -- >> jessica: that he put his personal interest over the interests of the nation. you could make the argument, of course, that it is in the national security interest to find out if another foreign power met over an election. it is a national security interest of the person running for president is corrupt. those are international security interest. this is not the first time that it has been frozen, reviewed, or canceled. the legal team has pointed out several interest. the northern triangle countries. that is not a new concept. to >> jessica: where any of the people t

biden: yes, joe will work on it. it's wrong. it's wrong. the big corporations have to pay their fair share. not more, not less. >> all right, ready? [indistinct voices] dr. biden: do you want that in the picture? here we go. >> one, two, three. dr. biden: thank you. how are you? >> how are you? dr. biden: what's your name? >> maddie. this is my first election i get to vote in. dr. biden: oh wow. good for you. are you excited? >> yes, i am. dr. biden: thank you for voting for joe biden. thank you. thank you. hey, how are you? >> nice to see you. dr. biden: what's your name? >> george. dr. biden: george. thank you for coming. >> thanks. dr. biden: thank you. hello. [indistinct voices] dr. biden: thank you. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> he is a republican caucusing for joe. >> that means a lot. dr. biden: thank you. thank you, thank you. [laughter] >> hi, jill. this is my husband, bill. dr. biden: hi, bill. how are you? oh, great. [indistinct voices] dr. biden: well, now you get to be with joe and joe's going to win. [indistinct voices] dr.

joe biden is the strongest candidate to do it.ats trump by the most nationally and the states we have to win. this is no time to take a risk. we need our strongest candidate. paul: we are back with dan henninger, kim strassel and kyle peterson, so kyle, you were out in iowa last weekend following joe around, does that ad mesh with his stump message? >> yeah, he talks about electability but he talks more about himself as anecdote and talks about when i first got in the senate in the 70's, republicans an democrats would fight like the devil and go downstairs and eat together at senate dining room and we need to get back to that. he presents himself assort of a centrist, he wants public option in health care, he doesn't want medicare for all which would cost $35 trillion he says, one of the difficulties with that, he's in the center while he himself has been pulled to the left. paul: in terms of the agenda? >> public option, for instance, you know, couldn't pass in 2010 when obama -- paul: even though democrats controlled both houses

biden: i cannot wait. i hope joe will raise up the profile of the teachers. celebrate who they are. >> thank you, i appreciate it. >> we have more teachers. dr. biden: hello. not teach. dr. biden: i thought you would say that you are retired. >> thank you so much. >> good luck. dr. biden: you know what, they know the issues, they are strong. they can push other people, they are leaders. hello. >> how are you. dr. biden: i am well. thank you so much. dr. biden: thank you for working with us. hello. i am really honored to meet you. this has really moved me forward. dr. biden: god. we love to have you on our team. >> i will be really proud when joe was president. woman livingoung in my house -- [indiscernible] dr. biden: what was that atlantic article, what month? november? >> thank you. thank you for being here. >> how are you? dr. biden: my gosh. >> my mom really likes this because i feel like i can change the world. you fored me to thank the summer and everything. i have calcified tendinitis and they think i might have a torn muscle or something. dr. biden: yo

biden -- >> he has joe biden on his mind. cause trump knows biden will beat him in pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. the state's we need to take back the presidency. joe biden stood on the world stage, helped make obamacare the law of the land and could step in on day one. it is why trump can't stop talking about -- >> joe biden. >> i'm joe biden and i approve this message. >> corin and hallman are back at the table. and corin, that is all about electability and shows the poll numbers in the crucial argument. >> absolutely. that is his strongest argument. that is how people see him. as someone who was vice president with obama for eight years and obama's number two and someone who brings comfort and can bring them back to normal times. so that is a great argument for biden. it is a smart ad. we have to remember, time after time, when you look at polls, it said people want to know who can beat donald trump. how do we win against donald trump. and that ad shows exactly that. and what does it do? it shows donald trump just me

clearly to help joe biden. i don't think was any question to help joe biden.ad to sit there because -- so what did they do? they sit there and tried to defend joe biden yesterday. .. the establishment trying to help joe biden. they say that joe biden, it is okay for him to get rid of a prosecutor, but for a president to get rid of an ambassador is somehow sinister. >> you learn more about it. i have been appear for a year. everybody says it is a very complex place. there's a lot of corruption going on. [inaudible] >> we are learning more about that. we will see their rebuttal tomorrow. we have another day to say the same thing again. we will find out in the next few days what the president's plan was. >> did something change to convince president trump? >> we will find out. >> we will find out. >> you don't want to hear the same thing over and over again. new witnesses and documents. >> we will have a fair trial. this is the houses decision. they decided not to subpoena john bolton. they rushed this through and then put it on our lap. a very partisan manner. i

look at who joe biden might pick as his running mate. >> a lot of joe biden would consider choosing a is i would but i can't think of one right now. there are some decent republicans that are out there is still but here is the problem right now, the well-known ones, they've got to step up. >> michael bloomberg getting october this idea, quote, as president i will turn the east room into an open office where i will sit with our team, some official functions never tweeting but the rest of the time i will be where a leader should be, with the team. you like this? >> of all the ideas i have heard during the democratic primary, of all of them and i'm talking the craziest of the crazy i think this might be the worst of the ideas. no one in america, no human like an open floor plan. if you work at the company, we have some open floor plans here but you have to learn to get along with people. you need your space, fences make good neighbors, offices make good colleagues and the east room is for ceremonies, there is a history to the white house and we want to preserve that and you need the oval

liz: including political rival, joe biden? >> including everybody. st because you run for president doesn't mean you get immunity. in this case the president of the ukraine should look into the bidens. i think u.s. senate should look into it. i don't know that it needs to be part of this impeachment trial. liz: senator lindsey graham really unloading on nancy pelosi. watch this. >> well, to my friend on the democratic side, you know, i like nancy pelosi. i've known her for years. i think she is a very relidge just person but when it comes to donald trump, nancy pelosi may pray him privately but she orchestrated the church of holy hell, from the time trump has been sworn in until now it has been one thing after another. liz: nancy pelosi admitted impeachment started with mueller probe. your reaction to the holy hell characterization? >> impeachment agenda started before the president was eneven sworn in. all these democrats avoided going to the swearing-in ceremony, the inauguration. they have been talking about impeachment since day one. there have be

so the fact that joe biden has not only been able to stay on top of the polls but he's been durable. weathered a number of storms, including the situation with hunter biden. the fact that he's still on top of the polls is pretty incredible at this stage of the game. i this i peopnk people are look someone with experience and he reminds people of the good ol' day of the obama administration. he ves did yo-- he's very durab which is something you want in a president. >> interestingly there's something very structured in the way his campaign runs compared on social media to some of the younger and more diverse candidates. you guys had a chance at the the "new york times" editorial board to look at it. what stands out to you about joe biden? >> it's interesting. i think it's that level of familiarity. it is the man who walked in the door, even if you hadn't met him before, we all already knew him. you get what you see. i this thatnk that's extremely comforting to voters, especially for voters not looking to go back to the 1950s but actually to 1980. barack obama was nowhere before iowa.

we all have a duty to empower our fellow americans and joe biden will restore the soul of our nation, but we need people like you to volunteer with you joe we can do everything in our power to elect joe biden for president so everyone take out your phones, please take out your phones and type and h230330. and everyone take a look around the room . there are people with clipboards. make sure you find them sign up, we need you to make calls, knock on doors and spread the word about joe. we can only when this if we work together and i'm so excited and honored to introduce doctor joe joe biden. [applause] >> thank you sierra and sarah, you did such a good job i think you oughtto, and give the speech . thanks to our entire new hampshire team for putting this great event together. this is kind of dcjcvu for me. i was here , i can't remember when but i was here a couple months ago in this very hall so anyway, joe and i are proud of our team and the work that they're doing here. and this evening and really all today, over new hampshire i've been today and it's been kind of hard to focus on, t

lindsey graham says that he has these questions about witnesses and joe biden. so the following a few minutes ago. where they are buying insurance by hiring hunter biden? they sure as hell were not hiring expertise. the country needs to get through this quickly. >> martha: thank you, chad. >> bret: chris wallace, anchor of the 20th, dana perino. there is some sense that republicans are starting to coalesce, that this thing is still up in the air, but maybe they have the votes to hold them off. you've heard some senators like lindsey graham say that it was cogent, sharp. they heard new things, but overall, it seems like they are holding back -- >> well, we don't know. there are about a half of a dozen still out there. collins has said that she is inclined, not a definite commitment, but that she is inclined to vote to hear witnesses. two votes. one is to hear witnesses, and you might ge get a bunch to says to that, but then they have to vote on a specific witness. well, do you want to call john bolton? that raises questions of national security and privilege. i wa

that joe biden would be able to beat donald trump.s a significantly higher number than any other candidates. joe biden is dealing with the rltd that people think he's the go-to to beat donald trump but not enthusiastic about his general candidacy. >> that brings me to mike who normally covers the biden campaign. i should point out you're at an andrew yang event. having said that, let's talk about joe biden at a time when his long diplomatic resume and contacts with leaders around the world are generally seen as a big selling point. how have these past few days for him been different than we might have heard a week or a month o ago? >> absolutely, chris. i'll use my best library voice as you see andrew yang speaking behind me. it's interesting, he used the words robot butter truck before he used the word iran here. that came up in q&a. as relates to joe biden, foreign policy is squarely in his wheelhouse. i've traveled to the middle east with joe biden including to iraq. as he's crisscrossing iowa, he's talking with firsthand experienc

joe biden. he was trying to root out corruption and going after burisma and even involved in firing a prosecutor general and also was trying to protect american elections. what you've heard congresswoman garcia from houston lay out in detail is exactly why the -- she argues that it was bogus the idea that when joe biden went to ukraine in 2015 and got them to fire shokin, he was trying to cover up for his son. she makes the case it was a european movement because shokin was a corrupt operator himself. now taking on the issue of whether or not it was ukraine that was involved in interfering in the election or whether in fact it was russia and that russia put out the ukraine story as disinformation. now, you know, i'm sure some people will see -- where are we here? a recess? >> bret: taking a break. >> all the more reason to talk. >> bret: there we go. >> some will be persuaded, some won't. this is an argument that the republicans will want to take on and say -- they have to say the phone call was

joe biden, hunter biden. but the principle of all of this. senator schumer, you want to know why you have got no good witnesses? because your buddies smif * and nancy pelosi -- your buddies adam schiff and nancy pelosi never bothered their jobs. they are arguing obstruction of congress when there is no requirement the president turn anything over to nancy just because she asked for it. we have the opposite. it's called separation of powers. if the house wasn't so lazy or political, they would have taken their request for witnesses teen actual judge. then they might have had a leg to stand on in the ole obstruction thing. but they didn't do that. and who is to say whether the president would have resisted it. but they wanted to make this a schiff show. now, you want to redo with witnesses. it ain't going to happen. schumer can't help but insult the very jury he's trying to appeal to. that's how you know he does not care. he doesn't care about outcome. he only cares about how he will campaign. and any possible sympathizers he may have had, they

when sanders' surrogate called joe biden corrupt in a op-ed and of course joe biden is corrupt.ders didn't stand by her. instead, he apologized. >> joe biden is a friend of mine. i have known him for many, many years. he is a very decent guy. joe and i have strong disagreements on a number of issues. and would will argue those disagreements out. but, it is absolutely not my view that joe is corrupt in any way. >> tucker: what's your view on joe biden essentially taking bribes from the credit card company wrecking your snrif sanders didn't say. he folded. he did the same thing four years ago he refused to attack hillary clinton over email scandal. he gave her a pass. how did she repay him? by attacking sanders and his supporters as sexist. while suggesting that millions who back him are a bunch of, quote, nobodies. a journalist at the gray zone, one of our favorite guests joins us tonight. great to see you tonight. two things, do you think that sanders' recent rise and we will see if it sustains but it's real. is the result of the establishment on the democratic side coalescing a

joe biden has remained i think the biggest threat in the president's own mind for a few reasons. talked about his obsession with barack obama earlier. he links biden with obama. he knows that coalition is still out there, that worries him a little bit. more than that, he thinks biden is the one candidate here who could siphon away some of those working class white voters who went for him in the rust belt the last time around, where he knows his margins were so very slim in 2016. he thinks biden does have some appeal there, he speaks their language and so on. this is what the president has told people around him. he thinks that is someone that could disrupt it. he's always had a real low pressure -- real respect for bernie sanders. he doesn't attack bernie sanders like he does some of the other candidates. i think there's a little overlap there, some of the populist ideas between trump and sanders. i think that's another one who he feels might play pretty well in the midwest. >> mika, there's another way donald trump fears joe biden. he held up military aid to get dirt on joe bide

biden. >> he's got joe biden on his mind. pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. the states we need to take back the presidency. >> is he going to succeed tonight in making it about him versus biden. or david, as you were trying to say, basically a way for warren and sanders to not have it be about warren versus sanders is to basically both go for biden. >> there's nothing joe biden likes more than to make it about donald trump. there's nothing subtle about that ad you just played, erin. a direct electability message. why he is the one that can most easily defeat donald trump. listen, this foreign policy debate that has been going on for the last ten days, bernie sanders wants to debate joe biden over that. and his record, joe biden will certainly defend it, i have no doubt, but he actually wants to debate donald trump over foreign policy, because he likes to make the case to voters that he is the steady and experienced hand. >> and karen, you also have here pete buttigieg. he's seen his poll numbers in iowa start to slip. he

bounty, the quicker picker upper. >>> former vice president joe biden and his son hunter under attack today at president trump's impeachment trial. the defense strategy seems to be deflecting the charges against the president by smearing biden. i want to bring in cnn political reporter ar let sienz who is covering the biden campaign in iowa. hello, arlette, you're in iowa right now, and catch up -- you caught up with joe biden after his campaign event this evening. what did he say about trump's defense team going after him and his son? >> well, don i asked joe biden that question several times over the course of the day and he really tried to brush off the questions. at one point just saying to me are you kidding me? when he spoke to voters here in iowa city he talked about those republican attacks on his son hunter biden and he told them that he can't -- he told voters he can't hold a grudge going forward. take a listen to what he had to say. >> these guys are attacking me and my family. i get it. and the press corps with me, they're all good people following me, they keep asking me,

call joe biden or hunter biden? is a totally separate issue. the democrats said they had an overwhelming case. they had all the time to call these people. they could've called joe biden or hunter. they could've called the whistle-blower, they could've called john bolton. they decided not to. the inspector general, of intelligence, they didn't release what he said. what did he say? this is all orchestrated. it's all partisan. they let democrats -- republicans participate in it. >> bret: you don't have any problem with what you've learned in the presentation of how the house managers have put it forward, or what you know happened inside the white house? >> well, we have two more days. i'm going to listen to the question and answers. we will see what comes out of that. but what i know now, the house democrats don't have a case and the white house has done a great job of explaining why the president did what he did. he released the money. you know, all he cares about -- >> bret: after the whistle-blower story came out,

this time, russian hackers accused of breaking into burisma, the ukrainian energy company that joe biden's of the president's impeachment proceedings. >> burisma. >> burisma. >> the bidens and bur reeisma. >> reporter: and it is the same company that was used to get into the hillary clinton campaign. >> it is what is known as the credential harvesting and phishing campaigns which is attempts to steal passwords and user names. >> reporter: and web sites were set up to lure the employees for them to get inside and it worked, but it is unclear what the russians were looking for or what they got. with the uproar of the bidens, the signs are pointing for the russians pointing to dirt on the bidens which the president is also accused of looking for. >> and we expect the cyber actors to continue on until they are successful and to accomplish the goal. >> reporter: hillary clinton today tweeting that this new attack is show nag the russians are back at it and once again to benefit donald trump. >> similarly, at it again, and with the eye towards helping the president. >> and no word from the white

that is my husband, joe biden.

joe biden and donald trump. and so if he can somehow manage to win even one of the first two states, it puts him in an incredibly strong position goin biden winning in the first of four states would be michael bloomberg. at that point most would rally around biden as the presumptive nominee. >> what do you think of the fight we saw in the last days between elizabeth warren and bernie sanders? it's ugly. elizabeth warren claiming bernie sanders said a woman couldn't win when they met in december of 2018. again, his campaign denies that. i heard a lot of progressives yesterday saying, guys, come on. eyes on the prize here. got to beat donald trump. can't tear each other to shreds with these interparty fights. what's the impact of them going at each other and as steve said, they needed to separate from each other but i think a lot of progressives said i wish they wouldn't do it on this. do it on an issue. not something as serious as a claim that a woman can't win and become president in this country jrchts the first

i don't know if this is going to hurt joe biden. i think it may help joe biden.eing smeared or being the center of this international controversy where the president is being impeached over it and then using the floor of the senate to go after biden, i think that may rally caucusgoers around it. we won't know until monday, but i think they've miscalculated. and it was just -- it showed what they're really about. >> i can tell you one thing i want to buy tickets to that beer you're going to have with paul talking about the clinton impeachment. that is something i would like to see. >> we will certainly send you the tab. >> thank you, gentlemen. thank you very much. >>> coming up, new details about what happened in the minutes just before the helicopter crash that killed kobe bryant. we have the latest in the investigation for you next. you always want to be able to deliver relief for your patients. get them out of pain, get them out of pain fast. we have a new product out there: sensodyne rapid relief. if you use it on monday, by thursday, you'll be enjoying that

candidates like joe biden and amy klobuchar on issues like agriculture and trade. uchar made the point to campaign and all 99 counties and biden's campaign is using surrogates who have a consistent presence in rural communities talking about how his connections with world leaders hurt in the trade war. >> farmers like the idea that trump was talking about trade but so far they have seen the results of that and they have gotten some bailouts, they want to grow and sell crops across the world. >> reporter: all democrats have had presence in western iowa with even more stop scheduled. 11 states. >> he has a brand-new book digging into the political corruption and has next time someone tells you hunter biden story has been debunked you're not getting the truth, peter schweitzer is next. am in real le not just on the internet♪ ♪all strength, we ain't stoppin' believe me♪ ♪go straight till the morning look like we♪ ♪won't wait, we're taking everything we wanted we can do it♪ ♪all strength, no sweat ♪all strength, no sweat >> joe biden is one of the finest men i know but s

it is baseless and the defense team with the hunter and joe biden allowed to happen and in the ukraine and then it turns it into the atm machine. and there is media reports that have suggested the dnc staffer met with ukrainian officials. i don't know if that is true but if we are going to open this up to additional inquiry we will go down the road and then we would explore that and whether or not there is any credibility if the dnc is working with ukraine. >> while your vote to be? >> i will let you know friday but right now i feel comfortable with the idea i have enough. people think that you can deal with this it will not happen. i will make a prediction 51 republican votes to call hunter and joe biden and the whistleblower and the dnc staffer. >> i have said basically it would be wrong for president trump to raise this issue. the democratic misconduct does not matter not to believe the biden affair that media reports for the july 25th as much as i like joe biden he needs to answer questions of why he received millions of dollars from burisma when he knew that it was a conflict of i

joe biden was on the campaign trail talking about sexism in the 2016 election.g on between sanders and warren started out as a sanders supporters who were being instructed to attack warren supporters on the basis of being elites and he went to frame it like i am working class joke, not biden, but the proverbial joe, and warren is being backed by a bunch of college educated whites. >> melissa: is he right? >> jessica: if you look at the breakdown, she has a plenty of working-class support, he has more. the sanders supporters are famous for being horrible online trolls and really digging deep. these are people that said that hillary clinton was the other side of the coin of donald trump, made that direct comparison. >> melissa: i'm glad you brought up hillary clinton because her spokesperson was quick to land, saying "bernie blamed warren's staff in his initial statement calling them liars, when it now appears he was lying while shaming them. imagine if a female candidate had done the same, where the situation reversed. we would watch 14 new cycles about whether s

joe biden gets that. emphasis on who can go toe to toe on the stage with trump. it's very unlikely trump makes a debate stage with any of these folks. who is making the case to the american public that will fit next to his case. made from rallies. >> we have to ask the question, you are unhappy you missed all the voices. the fact is that we have had multiple debates now. people had a chance to look them over and over. so maybe people don't share your excitement about it. >> here's the deal. we have a party 25% african-american. if any of those candidates that i mention were riding a big wave of people of support they would have been on the stage. i'm not blaming anybody. there was somebody missing tonight. i don't think it's unrelated to the fact the voices were not there. >> you said warren had a great night. it's interesting. it's a different elizabeth warren. the warren at the beginning of the campaign was somebody who was details, these are policies. this is what i'll talk. and she got challenged on m

he is looking up at joe biden saying i don't have to look behind me at senator warren. have to look behind me at put buttigieg, the former mayor of south bend. i think that's an interesting window into the sanders' strategy. buttigieg and sanders think they're strong in iowa. what bernie sanders is doing is trying to nationalize the race and make it between him and joe biden. >> there are many things that are fascinating about all of it, but among them, this fund-raising number coming from the same corner where bernie sanders had a heart attack which left him wondering what kind of campaign he would be able to run. here he is. >> think we're going to change the nature of the campaign a bit. make sure they have the strength to do what i have to do. >> i mean, he was visibly subdued after his heart scare, but things have completely changed now, abdul, in a campaign where age has been a discussion for him and joe biden as well. is this age and health completely a non-issue for sanders. is this what the monies? >> anyone watching the debate knows that senator sanders is as

and i will vote for joe biden. the reason is, just in case. i am old. who canike joe is a guy reach across the aisle and work with republicans successfully and get some things done. think south carolina will be read for a while. awhile.or if a democrat wins, i would be in favor of joe biden. do you think lindsey graham will be elected? caller: yes. once you get tenure and chairmanship of committees, people do not want to lose that, at least at this point. but demographics are changing. we are changing drastically. good to hear from you. thank you for the call. don't be a stranger. happy new year. one of the new campaign ads from the tom steyer campaign is extensively inng new hampshire. here is what voters are seeing. >> donald trump will go down in history for his racism, lies, and impeachable crimes. but he will not go down in 2020 unless we expose them as a front on the economy. no politician, republican or democrat, has been able to do it yet. i can. i am tom steyer and i approve this message because i have had a successful business record and a plan

>> i want a noun, a verb, or 9/11 joe biden tonight. or even a corn pop joe biden. he wasn't feisty. we'll see. maybe he was tired. tired not good if you want to be president. thank you very much. jonathan and jason, please stay with me. >>> up next, the candidates tackle major domestic policy issues like climate change, poverty and education. >> i don't want cost ever to be a barrier to somebody seeking to attend college. and under my plan, it won't be. but if you're in that top income bracket, don't get me wrong. i still wish you well. i hope you succeed when you go to college. i just need you to go ahead and pay that tuition. >>> in fewer than 20 days, the first votes will be cast in 20920 election in iowa, and the six candidates on the debate stage tonight made their case to appeal to those voters on domestic policy issues, explaining their views on things like health care and education and affordable child care and climate change, things that affect americans every day. >> we should not be one of a few countries that does not have universal high-quality, afford

he said he wanted to come into tonight's debate focused on joe biden. e the discussion about their records. he was going on vice president biden on his iraq war vote. this kind of took them off course. and you see them trying to pull it back in, trying to refocus. that was the message from the campaign manager on twitter last night. he said stay focused and that's what they're trying to do right now. >> and, karen, in the latest polls for both iowa and new hampshire, you've got a difference with sanders on top and one and not in the other case. sanders doing very well. warren down some. and joe biden doing well in that monmouth university poll. the fact is, it's a cluster of four. does amy klobuchar have a chance to punch through tonight? is this her last chance to kind of show her stuff before iowa? >> you know, i have found out here just talking to people sort of observationally, i think amy klobuchar has a lot of support here that is not necessarily showing up in the polls. she has a lot of support of people -- state legislators, people who are on the
