stephanie hamil joins me with antjuan seawright.an you tell me the difference between a socialist and democrat socialist. >> i can tell you this, the independent senator from vermont entered himself into the democratic primary. but he has the same math problem he had in 2016. this is the first time we had a record number of women, a record number of african-american candidates running. we had some strongandidates on the ticket. if you look at places like south carolina. many of the democrats here in south carolina rejected the idea of bernie sanders and his policies and positions. i think this socialism buzz word used by the right is because they want to make america scared again because they have knee general today to put forth for the 2020 election. katie: bernie sanders happens called himself a socialist and many on the left have called themselves democratic socialists. antjuan talked about a series of democratic candidates. klobuchar just got in there, elizabeth warren. bernie sanders. do you think they are underestimating berni

here to report, stephanie hamil and robin biro.dia love this story and they pounced on it as fast as they could. >> my thoughts, where has common sense gone with the media and reporting. common sense should have told everybody that this story was such a wild ride that the members of "good morning america" should have done a better job vetting this story. we got an apology from good morning area * saying they had doubts about his story after it aired. how could anybody take it seriously. we do need to investigate thoroughly. maybe investigative reporters don't have enough time to do this. but this is crazy. trish: that's sad if that's the case. they have forgotten or maybe they never knew how to do their profession. smollett's legal team released a statement saying like any other citizen poll let enjoys the presumption of innocence. we'll mount an aggressive defense. wait a second. they didn't say he's innocent. they didn't say he completely disagrees with these charges. it sounds like tight robe walking to me. >> everyone has the r

stephanie hamill and robert patilla. he's a pretty smart guy when it comes to the media, and i think elijah cummings understands the media. and mr. schiff might have some understanding how the media would treat this. and it's been dominating the airways. was it intended to distract from the success in street a number? >> this original hearing was supposed to take place february 7. cone and his legal team decided to moist, push it back and of course it had to land on this day. we know the democrats are pretty crafty. it's rather depressing that the democrats would rather see trump fail than the americans succeed. we want to see north korea denuclearized. this is something that's very important for our country. north korea is a major threat. this is something we should be focusing on. instead we had to catch up this circus for hours today. >> we did not run the circus on fox business news all day. we did on fox news. and most of of the networks did cover it. but we had an open stock market. so that tend to dominate our cov
