. >> sandra: peter doocy is live in las vegas. i believe we have him now.good morning to you. >> good morning and remember this is not the first time that senator sanders has had medical issues while he has been running for president this time. back in march he hit his head in the shower and required a couple stitches. he was then seen at a few events with a very large bandage on his forehead for the next week or so. this was a surprise. we were expecting to see senator sanders in las vegas later on today for an event tied to the second anniversary of the country music festival mass murder that will be hosted by giffords focused on gun reform and swing to the west coast for events tomorrow in ontario, california area. and so this is all very last minute and coming in. again, it is the second time this cycle that senator sanders, who maintains as much energy as anybody, but also did just celebrate his 78th birthday has had to deal with some medical issues on the trail. >> sandra: our best to him, peter doocy, thank you. >> bill: it could be significant news.

peter doocy was just in iowa with joe biden asking about the lynching argument going to the topic we'reoxic environment around these investigations and here's what he said about that. >> did you know there was a tape of you? >> yes, and i apologized for it and i wasn't using it as a dog whistle. >> what do you mean as you said it? >> i was wrong to have said it and apologized for having said it and apologized anyone and apologize now. >> martha: karl. >> first, i don't think he apologized for it then. vice president biden called president trump and said he was using a racist appeal, a dog whistle. look, we've -- jerry nadler called the against bill clinton a lynching and so did others and in this one we have steve cohen, democrat of memphis equating president trump with adolf hitler and museolni and i aappreciate the word lynching from 1988 but then he suggests president trump is using it as a racist appeal. we've gone crazy. >> martha: wouldn't it be great if we lived in an environment where somebody would say, yeah, i would imagine the president didn't mean it that way either. nobody

that was september 21st at our own peter doocy for fox news posed that question to joe biden.n this picture surfaces. can anything be made of that? >> look, first of all, i just say to anybody who is watching the show today, i have two daughters are a now grown. if one of them had a $600,000 a year job, don't you think i would probably would know a little about it? i'd say boy, good job. you are doing really well. remember, this is only one of his jobs. hunter was out there pulling in the money. furthermore "the new york times" had written a story about it in i think december of 2015. not that his dad necessarily read every "new york times" story but it is about both hunter and joe biden. so at some point you have to say is it plausible that they went out to golf, got in 18 holes with a guy who was one of the partners in the gas company, and never occurred to biden that there might be a business relationship? the problem with biden is he says stuff that has no meaning but then he forgets he said it anyway so it's very hard to hold him accountable for anything. but i think to s

peter doocy has reaction from the campaign trail. >> reporter: joe biden put the press to the test. >e polls. they don't matter. they could change tomorrow. >> reporter: he was right. initial quinnipiac poll finds elizabeth warren 7 points ahead of biden in two a the democrats in double digits, bernie sanders and mayor pete buttigieg. >> we found many voters have not formed an opinion at all. >> reporter: the only other gold standard poll in the most recent debate from cnn found biden up 15 points nationally on warren. >> i will not come from is what i care about. >> reporter: warren has been under pressure from amy klobuchar to explain how she will finance medicare for all. >> if we had a good answer we would have seen it by now. >> reporter: he met polling qualifications for a november debate. another moderate democrat, tim ryan, dropped out but the field might not be shrinking as hillary clinton insiders think she might be running as calculating joe biden is explaining why, a 24-hour period, he condemned comparing impeachment to lynching before apologizing for comparing impeachment
