they're a better messenger than bernie sanders is. don't underestimate bernie sanders. a lot of people believe what he says. a lot of trump voters said if bernie sanders had been on the ballot in 2016 they would have voted for bernie. connell: that's a really interesting kind of, i guess dichotomy of trying to, people have tried to do it, the governor, since 2016 figure out what was the appeal of both bernie sanders, again, this self-identified democratic socialist and donald trump. but you're right, there was a certain crossover, anti-establishment or something more to it. >> absolutely. connell: definitely in the data we saw? >> i think you're absolutely right. it was anti-establishment. the swamp is killing you guys. we're going to drain the swamp. donald trump hasn't drained the swamp. bernie sanders would surely drain the swamp but who would know what was left when the swamp was drained. connell: you think we'll have more as a final question, more of these candidates appearing on fox, fox news or fox business like bernie sanders is doing? >> well every democratic c

i am not surprised there is a lot of support for bernie sanders. >> martha: do you like see bernie sanders in that top spot? there was a lot of competition between hillary clinton and bernie sanders? >> i am an at large member of the democratic committee. i don't have a favorite. >> martha: last time you had a favorite and it was hillary clinton. >> i know what i did. i didn't support a candidate. i have not supported a candidate since al gore. bernie sanders as well as joe biden and elizabeth warren we should not look at the early polls and proclaim them to be the bible. you will have an exciting time next week in the town hall meeting with bernie sanders. >> martha: looking forward to it. with regard to the economy in pennsylvania, obviously one of the signature states that ended up winning the election for bramante. -- president trump. talk about bernie sanders and what has been happening. >> one of the strength president trump has, as candidate and delivered on these promises, he has a background in delivering economically. he promiseed to do certain things and did them. barack obama d

how would bernie sanders respond to this graphic? >> he would probably respond similar to what he did last night. important to raise taxes to meet what he had planned, medicare for all, free college tuition. >> raise corporate taxes? >> raise corporate taxes across the board, taxes for everyone. >> the country he admires the most has levels the same as ours. >> i am not a socialist. i don't believe in raising taxes are paying more than they are paying now. he believes his plan is best for america, hard to sell when you talk about taxes being lowered on the other side. rob: the reason these baltic nations keep the business taxes low as they want to keep business there, business mobile, businesswoman, the president seems to understand that when he dropped to 21%. >> that is exactly right. that benefits all american workers, income is growing twice as fast but another aspect is the fact, i am sorry, it is early in the morning. the nordic countries have highest income levels an individual income as well, 60% in denmark, 40% in norway, sw

has talked about for years. >> there's a difference between bernie sanders 2019 and bernie sanders 2016 when he said this. >> we are seeing a proliferation of millionaires and billionaires. >> now he's one of them. the self-described democratic socialist is a millionaire, and proud of it. >> i don't apologize for writing a book that was number three on "the new york times" best seller. >> even though it would move his tax bill, sanders writes on foxnews.com, i believe that the wealthiest people in this country have got to start paying their fair share of taxes. president trump won in 2016 even though he never released his tax returns and it doesn't sound like the plan is any different for 2020. his attorney says "we have once again reiterated our objections to the unconstitutional demand for the president's tax returns." the president's reelection effort is more focused on trying to peg progressive challengers a socialist, which of the dnc chairman sees as a smoke screen. >> in 2018, the distraction from the trump campaign was caravans, caravans, caravans buried in 2020, the destruction

this is why biden is mad against bernie sanders. much of the stories planted by biden hugging kissing, smelling people's hair, this stuff no one cared about, joe biden is not a philanderer was planted by bernie sanders. neil: there is no proof of that. >> no proof. they believe it. they're plugged in. there is a little proof. one of the woman was an avowed bernie sanders supporter. he smelled her hair a little creepy. i won't smell your hair anymore. neil: please. >> what i'm saying is, that put joe back on his heels. bernie now -- neil: could get nasty. >> in a splintered race. suppose he gets 30% and -- neil: everything is proportional. everything is proportional. thank you, buddy. >> okay. neil: we got news from twitter very serious about suspending accounts for those that speak violently or say false things. january to march 100,000 such accounts were suspended. doesn't go into detail what largely they were or how many were affected beyond that, whether this continues but of course it follows criticism on capitol hill that socia

focusing on the issues like bernie sanders was talking about. health care and all the things that democrats ran on in 2018. the problem is they have a liberal base angry with the president and a few high profile members in the caucus who want to take a different path. i think they will take an aggressive investigative path and perhaps this will change but right now i don't see this. >> the politics of this is pretty clear. there's investigation fatigue and robert costa, what pelosi knows and the 2020 candidates aside from kamala harris and elizabeth warren are understanding is this could help re-elect donald trump. he will gin up the base and his campaign fund raising against robert mueller. >> for months they have been lead by speaker pelosi in terms of the political strategy. that will continue for the months to come. it's been clear what the statements by senator warren an harris that there's a clamor on the left side of the democratic party to be a more aggressive in going after president trump and a little bit of political tension between t

if bernie sanders were to be the democratic nominee, and all sorts of people have issues whether bernie sanders is a democrat or not, but if he were to get that nomination to the degree donald trump won a lot of his votes on the basis of economic pollpulism, does berni sanders have similar appeal? >> that's the question. he will be tested in a general election against trump and see if those factor that john is talking about comes into play. one thing that does occur to me talking about this dynamic in the democratic primaries here to the extent there's resistance, there is resistance you will hear towards sanders that will make its way through the media. you can say from the democratic establishment, whatever -- however want to define it. you will hear that one question that raises when you look ahead to a general election is would something potentially work in his favor a little bit in the same way it worked in trump's favor in 2016 and that is the critical voices of donald trump from within the republican party, from within the republican establishment, they may have actually solidifi

i think we just saw last night, the way that bernie sanders, and i'm not a huge bernie sanders fan by any means, the way he can really shake that populous base, populous appeal that donald trump was able to pull off in 2016 you talk about rigging the system, look at the policies of the trump administration, this is going to be aer if tile field for the democrats, can you see bernie sanders is not afraid to go into trump world and go after some of those white working class voters that have voted for democrats in the past but voted for donald trump in 2016. >> to that point, i think the question, and we saw clearly from that audience, at least, there was cheering for bernie the question is, can this president -- they're already attacking socialism in general, and johnathon martin wrote in the new york times, how some democrats are beginning to ask, did they thwart a 70 something candidate, who's immune to determination and incentive without reinforcing the establishment is unite to get me message. stopping mr. sanders or preventing a contentious convention could prove difficult for demo

you heard what bernie sanders had to say. is not willing to pay it, why should we. >> i think bernie sanders said why should i pay it when someone makes more than me. let's be honest about it. his wealth is only a couple million by the tax plan he's trying to provide right now will approach those making hundred, $200 million, even billionaires. it is going to touch those who make the most wealth in this country which i think is a good thing. why should the top few people in this country combined only pay a minimum amount, warned buffett said he does not have a problem paying taxes someone like bernie sanders is suggesting in this tax plan. >> you mentioned he did make millions, release his tax returns right before last night started. he didn't make those millions through socialism. he made them through capitalism. >> is clearly a hypocrite. he could write a check to the u.s. treasury and pay the pretrial tax rates if you think that what it should be right now. clearly hypocrisy. the big problem anytime you had them with a har

senator bernie sanders saying the same. in a statement with the tax return senator sanders saying that our family has been fortunate. he goes on to say i will continue to fight to make our tax system more progressive so the country has the resource to guarantee the american dream to all people. senator sanders did not release his tax returns in 2016 as president trump also did not release his taxes. but again, senator bernie sanders releasing ten years of taxes. when he was talking about millionaires should pay more, he is a millionaire in tweep and 2017. elizabeth: he's attacking only billionaires now. he pay as 26% effective tax rate and his charitable donations come down to 3.4% of his adjusted gross income. he claims that he gives a lot of his royalties from his books like the speech to charity but there's no indication, documentation of that. we got to stay on the story. >>> now the u.s. and afghan governments condemning the taliban's launch of a spring offensive. it's a country that has seen 18 years of war with thous

the president is going after bernie sanders in a tweet, saying, bernie sanders and his wife should pay the pre-trump taxes on their almost $600,000 in income. he's always complaining about these big tax cuts except when it benefits him. they made a fortune off of trump, but so did everybody else, and that's a good thing, not a bad thing. okay. two things. number one, bernie sanders voted against the tax cuts and said that he would rather pay more taxes because he earned more money, and he doesn't want a trump tax cut. and, number two, that's pretty rich coming from someone who doesn't want to release his taxes so americans can't see whether he profited by his own tax cut. >> right. this is not a lane that president trump needs to swim in because he's not releasing his tax returns. but it is really rich when you have bernie sanders, who has really railed against the 1%, now we realize he is one of them. and now we also know that he is doing everything he can to avail himself of the tax benefits that are out there for people that do make more money and do benefit from our great capitalis

bernie sanders frustrates people. he never answers questions, he either believes the person answering. let's watch. >> how can you challenge the idea that socialism is bad in the minds of the public may not. >> asked them, not me. the marginal tax rate was 26% because of the situation. why not say that i'm leaving this and why not say you're going to not take this? [laughter] >> i am -- i paid the taxes that i owe. by the way, you have donald trump up here, ask them how much he pays in taxes. >> would you be willing to be 52% on the money that you made? can volunteer or send it back. [talking over each other] >> well, -- we have a -- >> martha, why don't you -- he makes more money than i do. >> and it's more than that. he never answers basic policy questions about single payers. causing lower and middle income taxes to go up. it will wipe out insurance, wipeout obamacare. it's back-and-forth. >> that back-and-forth between bernie sanders and martha was revealing about what the bernie sanders campaign is about. it's no

president trump be scared of bernie sanders? >> we live in an age where donald trump could get elected president. i don't think anyone can sit here and sayre bu bernie sander can't. >>> breaking news here in new york, hillary clinton calls for the release of the full mueller report. she was just moments ago, speaking at the time 100 summit. >> that is the main story, and it's a story that needs to be told and retold over and over again, because we were the subject of a foreign adversary's attack, an attack on our election, on our sovereignty. an attack on our democracy. and you can try to figure out everything that did happen, and we're a long way from knowing, because we need to get the full report, the unredacted version and certainly the congress deserves to get it. i think it's fair to say that this is not just about a reckoning with the recent past. this is about what is going on today and the threats to our next election, to our defense as a nation. so edward, i think the report is long and it obviously takes time to wade

the revolution bernie sanders started in 2016 is taken affect. the problem for the 2020 democrats is 51% of americans are against socialism so with this being the case they have a big problem on their hands, they can't withhold the nomination like they did with hillary clinton. >> socialism, wanting accessible healthcare for everybody is not necessarily socialism. >> he wants complete and total -- >> we know what it means. >> we can't hear either one of you. he does want people to have free education and does want everybody to have healthcare. >> he wants complete and total government control. >> i'm talking about the democratic field which is occupied by the far left of our party that believes in socialist government, that is factually inaccurate. >> the pauls show otherwise. >> the final word here. >> among voters the only demographic group that looks at capitalism and socialism and think socialism is looking better is generation the, those under the age of 24. they may play a significant role in the democratic primary but for the moment every

also, bernie sanders said he will beat. he will be victorious in 2020, if he is elected he will blow up senate rules for change for u.s. economy. bulldoze through his single payer on a simplest 51 majority vote. there is still the nagging problem, federal income and corporate taxes would have to double for his plan. we have that story. and top house republicans are now jumps on our challenge bandwagon to democrats daring the democrats in the house to name one problem they fixed in first 100 days in house majority. >> to border, president now said horrible laws that congress refuses to fix, is forcing him to put more military at the border. have we that debate. and new details on a secret text-message. sent by an ms-13 gang member revealing how they play the broken system using fake, fraudulent family units to get across the border. we're detecting a shift, media now turning attention to the crisis. we have this for you. you will not believe which top democrat now says yes. imgrajtimmigrants should assimid learn the language

bernie sanders has surprised people with his fundraising. people never clapped for secretary clinton the way they clap for bernie sanders. you will see for joe biden, he is not having a big rally. he put out a video that in a lot of ways looks to the past and doesn't present a forward vision. when you run for president you have to give people a sense of optimism and what direction you want to go. if biden is looking in the rear view mirror it will make it so easy for president trump to say you're the past. i'm the future. >> former vice president joe biden is heading to pittsburgh on monday for a rally. what if the president is up against mayor pete? >> mayor pete is an unproven entity at this point. i think it is a great story that he is surging and it shows in america people can come from nowhere so to speak the same way we saw president obama come out of nowhere. the one thing that i think the mayor will find pretty quick is in a competitive democratic primary the long knives come out quick. >> the most recent reuters poll kamala harris i

sir, bernie sanders is the front-runner. let me back up, we were one of the first on this country on this show to track trend, we were not surprised president trump was going to win in 2016. a lot of people were surprised, we weren't. we saw the trend. this trend of bernie sanders leading the way as rbc poll says the joe biden is most market friendly democratic candidate. what is going on with the democratic party? >> liz, the further they keep going to the left, promoting these ideas like big government-run single-payer health care, the green new deal, all of that, we'll see president trump even get stronger in the 20 to election. liz: you know what is going on, sir? the voter is smart. they know that democrats are whipping fastballs by them when they don't talk about, they refuse to discuss, to tell the voter how will you pay for that? it's a simple question. people who run the family budgets, know the kitchen table issues, they get it. here is joe biden. joe biden doing something happening right now. he is rebranding hims

i have a lot of respect for bernie sanders. i think the fact that he's doing this fox news town hall this early in the race and while he's the top many of the polls shows a lot of political intelligence because he's signaling to his competitors that i'm not here to hit softballs and he is showing he has a general election mind-set. he's going to look for as many voters wherever they are and to as wide of an audience as possible. you're not going to listen to any of my questions because you've probably got them nailed down but are you going to have a moment, like the boxers or briefs question or something? ask him about tiger woods or "game of thrones" or something like that. >> martha: is that something you think we should ask? should we ask bernie sanders about boxers or briefs? >> jesse: not bernie. is there going to be question where it goes, everyone wants to know about a pop culture scenario? >> martha: i think if we shared it with you now it might ruin the moment. i don't think we are likely to do that. stick around and w

bernie sanders getting heckled at a conference, he is doubling down on lets convicted fill opens vote while in prison before completing their sentences, bernie compares voting rights of felons in prison to votes rights of women and minority, i am elizabeth macdonald, the evening edit starts right now. elizabeth: welcome to show you are watching fox business network, north korea kim jong-un meeting with russia president vladimir putin. in first ever face-to-face meeting. vladimir putin saying kim jong-un ready to denuclearize, putin said only if north korea gets certain guarantees, after outrage, as north korea sends to u.s. a bill for care of comatose auto -- otto warmbier. reporter: north korea released warmbier in a coma and handed u.s. a 2 million dollar medical bill for him. arrived in pyongyang with a medical team to evaluate and bring warmbier home, washington. union refuses to comment on that, u.s. had done so for other prisoners. >> my understanding in previous instances, that there was some exchange of money, which was justified on the basis of hospital costs. reporter: sourc

>> people all the way to the left do agree with bernie sanders on this one. i have spoken to many and they are saying a democracy is a democracy. the proof is felons do vote. in maine and vermont felons are voting and when they leave prison they get to vote. it is not going to be an issue coming down the line but mayor pete and bernie sanders are letting you know where they stand. heather: on the convicted felons voting. he has a more moderate view on it. do you think that is part of the reason he continues to rise in the polls? may be agree more with mayor pete and bring that up in terms of the polling numbers, 15%, biden 18% and bernie 30%? >> history does show moderates tends to win elections. not only on this issue but another issue, way left and moderate. we will see the same things come up in future issues. heather: you get the last word. >> mayor pete does track moderate independents and some republicans, makes a lot of sense but he is going to have problems competing for airtime. senator sanders and senator harris discussed giving incarcerated individ

bernie sanders loading the pack with over $18 million. coomb luharris is in second, followed by beto o'rourke and pete buttigieg. and elizabeth wooren. joe lockhart is here. that's a lot of dough, joe. the top ten, bernie out rauzed the next closest candidate said by $6 millions this quarter. >> it is a lot of mun ea. it's not surprising he's got a base built in 2016. i think some of the more surprising numbers are there are a lot of people raisish a lot of dough. the trick is to get to the debates and use the debates to shine. unless they can do something remarkable in the debates, you'll start seeing people fall off. kbut there's no doubt bernie sanders is going to have the funtds he needs run a very aggressive campaign. glrs there was a noim said report talking about you would think if you look at men a of the leading voices in the part y, that it was far left, liberal right, then led to believe. they're worried that he is too farlift to represent the whole democratic part a. is that legit? >> i think there is something to that. for he

i'm also not bernie sanders. bernie sanders is out there like, oh, people who make this money -- the same amount he makes -- should pay their fair share appeared why isn't he paying his fair share, 70%, the tax rate you cited? and you said who would do that voluntarily? >> because that is not the law! oh, come on, tucker. .1% -- lobbying congress, so they don't have to pay taxes, which is why all roads are a mess, infrastructure is a mess, schools aren't functioning. >> tucker: i couldn't agree more. >> why not funding that -- >> tucker: i agree with every word you are saying. >> we need to make this about -- he makes it about the most elite not exploiting workers so they don't have to pay taxes. >> tucker: i'm going to give you one last chance, super quic quick. why doesn't anybody, whoever espouses these tax rates, ever i'll entirely pay them? >> because that is not how our government functions. where do you send that, the irs? that's not how it works. >> tucker: people do that. >> who does that? i would like t

like bernie sanders. be in america where you can be a socialist because the capitalist system and the free markets will bail you out. they are the adults. you can be the socialist child that plays around. once the child gets control of the toys, everything is gone and the lesson and i try to bring it up, the lesson wyatt fails is centralized government means there's one failure, the whole thing falls apart. the entire cake gets poisoned. decentralized government prevents that some of one part fails, 49 others can succeed. that's why in the united states we have a lot of great cities and a lot of terrible ones or a few terrible ones. it's kind of odd how the ones that are really bad or actually closest to the model of socialism. >> dana: i was going to say that socialists in america are protected by the bubble wrap of capitalism. >> greg: you just summarized my point delightfully. >> jesse: they want to pop the bubble wrap and want to annoy everybody. >> greg: i don't think they want to pop it. they like i

she's in a bit of a competition with bernie sanders for some of those votes. in his answer what you saw is part of the key to his appeal which is his laser like focus on economic issues and economic populism. she too, a populist, but he has really cornered that and he's basically saying you know what these economic issues that are close to people's lives that's what i'm talking about, that's number one on my agenda. so different approaches. >> interesting, too, when we hear from kamala harris. and i want to play her response to that question. >> i believe congress should take the steps towards impeachment. i've not seen any evidence since i've been in the united states senate that the united states senate and the republicans hold the majority, i've not seen any evidence to suggest that they will weigh on the facts instead of on partisan adherence to being protective of this president and that's what concerns me and what will be the eventual outcome. we have to be realistic about what might be the end result but that doesn't mean the process should not take hol

oh, yes, said bernie sanders, they get the vote, too. unlike the first or second amendments, that is in the constitution. senator kamala harris seemed to agree with that. >> people who are convicted, imprison, like the boston marathon bomber, on death row, people committed convictef sexual assault. they should be able to vote? >> i think we should have that conversation. >> tucker: okay. let's have a conversation. best to do it right now, because whenever the left tells you they want a conversation about something, you can be certain that any dissent on that subject will be banned a year from now, like 2020 questioning whether imprisoned terrorists should vote should warrant a trip to the hr department in a lifetime ban from paypal and twitter. while we still can, consider the story of joe cars are uzziah, first to the united states on a tourist visa with the rest of his family from kurdistan, all of them probably claimed asylum here, they were given it. over time, they collected more than $100,000 in taxpayer finance coverage benefits.

bernie sanders speaking at a public forum right now. he is in a world of controversy over his recommendation among others as to go ahead and let convicts, those in jail, vote. even as they are in jail. anyway, besides getting cher on his back, he has a host of opponents saying that is crazy. peter doocy has more. hi, peter. >> neil, cher is shaking her head at bernie sanders tweeting this. >> the answer to cher's question is yes. because when a student asked sanders at a town hall in new england days after the sixth anniversary of the marathon bombings if the sur vying bomber has the right to vote from super max? sanders said this. >> i think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy. yes, even for terrible people. >> a trump campaign spokes woman adds the extremity and radicalism of the 2020 democrats knows no bounce. giving murders and felons the right to vote is offensive to those across the country. and you might think this marks a historic moment. the first time the trump campaign and cher have agreed on a controversial issue.

sanders supporters who were clearly out in force. >> elections are won at the margins, so bernie sanders was smart to a fox news town hall, winning back some of the blue-collar democrats i went for donald trump. this is not winning the majority of them, in the evangelical world, he is not going to win white conservative radicals, but if he picks off one or two, that could be bad for donald trump. >> bret: fox news returns to afghanistan next, 18 years after the start of the war. ♪ at t. rowe price, hundreds of our experts go beyond the numbers to examine investment opportunities firsthand. like a biotech firm that engineers a patient's own cells to fight cancer. this is strategic investing. because your investments deserve the full story. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. you might or joints.hing for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. the lexus es. every curve, every innovation, every feeling. a

bernie sanders, 47%. brian? >> brian: nobody's asking bernie sanders any tough questions yet. it's very easy to be popular -- >> harris: while that will change tonight on fox news! >> brian: i sure hope so! >> harris: we will have everybody watching. melissa? >> melissa: i would say 12% of the people who wanted to vote or voted for trump wanted bernie sanders in the first place. they will be watching tonight. he can recapture those people. that was essentially the margin. one of the margins that put president trump over the top. when you see those stats of people that cross over between trump and bernie, those are people that reject the system, reject the status quo, rejected the establishment. this is a rich audience that he is going to tonight. >> kennedy: can i jump in quickly? bernie has an obsession with sweden and denmark and the scandinavian socialism that he sells, this sack of lies he is selling over here. because our system is nowhere near this system because there's is much more free economically. they also don't have minimum wage laws in those countries. they also

bernie sanders is a millionaire. over the past three years bernie sanders made over $3 million. which makes him one of the wealthy people he himself targets on the campaign trail. >> we are going to ask the millionaires and billionaires of this country to start paying their fair share. bleian airs and millionaires have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the political process supporting republican candidates and today is pay back time for them. >> okay, sanders tonight, though, insists he is not out to make enemies out of the rich. >> stop vilifying to say that people have a whole lot of money, in some cases billions of dollars of wealth. they should pay their fair share of taxes. >> member of president trump's 2020 re-elected advisory co council. look, as i have been saying sanders is so lucky to live in a capitalist society because he wrote a book about being a socialist and people bought it, and so he got to make all this money. and he's now made a few million dollars over the past few years because of his book. what do you make of the numbers? obviously the past year

back to bernie sanders. this is like the best thing in the world that donald trump can do for bernie sanders which is why he is doing it because he wants bernie sanders as an opponent. >> that is absolutely right. i think some of the concern is that bernie sanders is very liberal and they are very worried that if he wins the nomination that it becomes very easy for republicans to basically run against socialism which is what they want today do on health care and other policy priorities on the left. i think democrats are getting a little nervous about how much bernie sanders has a hold on those base voters. everybody has to win to win the primary. >> you're reporting is mirrored by jonathan martin in the "new york times." your colleague said the following in his story. how some democrats are beginning to ask do they thwart a candidate from outside the party structure who is inmmune from imitation without reinforcing the establishment is out to get me message, the same grievance mr. trump used. >> it is actual

warren or bernie sanders is the same lane. bernie sanders surprisingly is easily defeating her. buttigieg raised more money than elizabeth warren. connell: we talked earlier about the warren tax plan, how everybody calls it populist, bernie sanders that is the term he would love to hear and as we know that was the term a lot of people associated with donald trump, anti-establishment. is it true? i know data from 2016 told us it was, i wonder if it still is that bernie sanders can go after, go into trump country to try to take some of those voters? do you think that's still true? >> i think he can take some of them but, that is his plan. i think what he is doing, it's smart, he is trying to get, not to win the african-american vote in the democratic primary, but win some of them. he has to win some of that demographic. if he does that, he could win the nomination n crowded field against donald trump in 2016 that helps him if there are 20 candidates. connell: don't you think the most logical argument still for the democrats, a long way to go, most logical democrats, biden from pen

senator bernie sanders is joining us, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) so we're going to get into that. but first, are you guys enjoying this beautiful spring weather, yeah, yeah, yeah? ( cheering ) well, i'm not! ( laughter ) you know why? because i'm stuck at work all day trying to follow all the news. there's too much of it! fortunately, too much news is the right amount of news for a segment we call "ain't nobody got time for that." ( cheers and applause ) ♪ all right, let's kick it off with the mueller report. in many ways, it's like the movie roma, the thing everyone is talking about but no one has actually seen. all we know so far is that president trump claims the report is a "total exoneration." ( laughter ) but it turns out that might be total bullshit. ( laughter ) >> we do have breaking news. overnight the "new york times" reveals the mueller report may be far more damaging for president trump than attorney general bill barr has let on. >> the "new york times" says some of mueller's prosecutors have told the associat

i don't believe bernie sanders brings that. the question is at what point do democratic primary voters say we're thinking about the general election, thinking about this matchup, is bernie sanders the kind of candidate we want to put up against trump. >> there's a huge structural difference between the democratic primary and the republican primary. donald trump was able to take advantage of the win all. 30% or 40% base of republicans allowed him to get out front and be unbeatable. with sanders, if you have 20%, 30%, something like that, that may not be enough in a proprorgsal primary system to end up winning the delegation. >> if you look at his poll numbers now, unfavorable with democratic voters, 12%, 13%, not much, the question is like you're saying if he starts getting real traction and there is an effort to stop him, how successful would sort of the -- you want to say the elites of the democratic party be in raising those negatives and creating that ceiling? that's a long way from now but it's fun to talk about. jonathan a

so it's a policy bernie sanders, do as i say, not as i do, obviously. but the democratic party must understand is their party has been taken over completely and totally by extremist radicals and socialists. if you look at the polls, the poll numbers show that 77% of democrats now view socialism very positively and they think the country should become more socialist. with that being the case, the revolution that bernie sanders started in 2016 has actually taken effect. the problem for the 2020 democrats is 51% of americans or at least american voters, or against socialism. so with this being the case they have a big problem on their hands but this time they're not going to be able to withhold the nomination from him like they did with hillary clinton in 2016. >> i just want to make one point here, socialism, want to good schools and wanting accessible health care for everybody is not necessarily socialist. socialist is on the government owns the means of production. let's be very clear when we use these definitions and say the entire democratic party is

d oh, yes, said bernie sanders, they get the vote, too. unlike the first or second amendments, that is in the constitution. senator kamala harris seemed to agree with that. >> people who are convicted, in prison, like the boston marathoe bomber, on death row, people convicted of sexual assault. they should be able to vote? >> i think we should have that conversation. >> tucker: okay. let's have a conversation. best to do it right now, because whenever the left tells you they want a conversation about something, you can be certain that any dissent on that subject will be banned a year from now, like 2020 questioning whether imprisoned terrorists should vote should warrant a trip to the hr department and a lifetime ban from paypal and twitter. while we still can, consider the story of dzhokhar tsarnaev, first to the united states on a tourist visa with the rest of his family from kyrgyzstan, all of them promptly claimed asylumm here, they were given it. over time, they collected more than $100,000 in taxpayer finance coverage benefits. in 20

and so there you have bernie sanders being bernie sanders, staking out a very far left position on this. kamala harris essentially saying she has to study it. and pete buttigieg taking another firm decision and probably a position i think most democrats will take and say, look, they're in jail. they're deprived of some rights while in jail. but when they get out of jail, they should have their voting rights restored. >> i think democrats will make voting rights a big deal. today the supreme court is hearing a case about whether the census can ask about citizenship, this sort of larger network of issues relating to the public party's attempt not to count democrats, whether it's not to allow them to vote through their absentee voting, early voting, felon voting. most of those issues democrats are united around. i do think that bernie took a position that the others are unlikely to take on actual serving prisoners voting. but on those other issues, i think you're going to see a lot of anonymity. >> and maybe that's the point, just see who is willing to carve out a bold position where some

it candidates took part, including senator bernie sanders. at one point the crowd reportedly not satisfied by his answer on how his campaign would appeal to black women after a moderator question. >> argue for black women, specifically? >> for black women, we will be an integral part of what arbitration is about. okay? >> hold on. were you finished? okay. >> katie: the event also highlighted frustrations among some democratic voters that white men like bernie sanders and joe biden are leaving early polls despite the record diverse field of candidates. a former dnc officials who helped organize the event told politico, "with all due respect to the vice president, he hasn't even announced yet, but he's a front runner? racism and sexism are part of the fabric in the fiber and the founding of our country." and then she went on to say that we may not be passed that. over to you. >> chris: it was a pretty impressive quote. >> melissa: you will go to the white man first? >> chris: i'm sorry, excuse me. [laughter] >> katie: he's a minority here, he's

it's why hillary clinton beat bernie sanders. it was helpful to obama himself obviously in 2008, so this is going to be a big calling card for him. >> so if you're the media adviser in the room and joe biden is about to get out of there and do one of the big town halls he's having and he'll probably get an anita hill question and get a question of why were you against forced busing in the '70s question? he'll get some question where he was in a employs 10, 15, 20, 30 years ago that the democratic party is not today. what would your advice be? >> my advice is to get to where we are today very, very quickly. as long as he's living in the past, it's going to be problematical for him, so he needs to articulate where he would lead the country in the future and the values that he believes in and not get into sort of an apology tour for every vote he's ever cast, and that's going to be difficult. look, his experience is a strength. it gives people some confidence that he can restore some ballast to washington, but, on the other hand, 45

in his statement, bernie sanders talked about canada. i will tell you, as a surgeon in wyoming, i have operated on patients from canada who, rather than wait for free care in canada, came to the united states to be cared for because they couldn't afford to wait the length of time. right now in canada, after somebody sees a family doctor and is referred to an orthopedic surgeon -- which is what i am -- it's eight months of delay. the american people are not going to tolerate what bernie sanders is promoting. >> melissa: without question. bellamy pushed back a little bit there. he mentioned nancy pelosi, she is someone not onboard with medicare for all. it seems like maybe there is an opportunity in the house. if you can't get a whole plan across, you mentioned some solutions that are in place. why not try for one more, like the idea of taking these people often -- or something? it seems like there's room in the house. nancy pelosi realizes the fallacy in medicare for all. >> with the democrats running for president, who want to run the co

this as bernie sanders, here is what's going on with bernie sanders. he's now trying to claim he never was a soviet-style communist. we're calling it the miss education of bernie we guess now bernie is out with this story, "he likes countries like denmark and sweden and he's saying that that old soviet union, that's not my thing." now he's going to claim, he says , to release 10 years worth of tax returns, showing he's a millionaire of capitalism. let's bring in republican strategist and civic forum pack chair ford o'connell. your take on bernie here, ford. >> i think he's engaging a little bit of revision as history. we've obviously seen videos of in praising soviet-style red lines and praising the communist leadership of cuba as well as his love affair with maduro, but when he's pushing by the green new deal out of control taxing and spending to denmark and sweden is just a complete and utter falsehood, because that's know the what denmark and sweden did to turnaround their econom ies. liz: let's break break down what ford is giving to you. to ford's

is bernie sanders the nominee? >> no, at this point -- remember in 2012 when there were tons of republicans that romney got the nomination. it was rick perry, newt gingrich, rick santorum and everybody got to lead for a week or two. a lot of people will go up and down in the democratic race. >> bill: bernie has big crowds and big money. nancy pelosi is overseas. she was in london and was asked about aoc yet again. here is the response on that. >> when we won this election it wasn't in districts like minor alexandria's. she is a wonderful member of congress. i think all of our colleagues are. but those are districts that are solidly democratic. >> bill: to be fair to her she said that would be true for her district as well. but you are thinking this gets worse before it gets better, byron. >> do we need any more proof that nancy pelosi really does not like alexandria ocasio-cortez who is getting all this attention and sucking up a lot of the oxygen around the democratic party in the house, and by the way, with ocasi

presidential hopeful bernie sanders has lashed out at a democratic think tank the center accuses the center of american progress of stirring up infighting examining the party's run at the white house. other democratic candidates are running campaigns based on principles and ideas and nursing gauging in mudslinging or personal attacks on each other meanwhile the center for american progress is using its resources to smear the senate's a book since the warren and myself among others this is hardly the way to build unity or to win the general election the center for american progress promotes non left candidates within the democratic party in two thousand and sixteen and through its weight behind hillary clinton presidential hopeful arbonne burra from the libertarian party thinks the center is a stablish went through and through. in all parties you're going to see something tanks there are basically designed to promote the establishment values center for american progress certainly does that they're very cautious about pushing the agendas that are going to be frightening to powerful lob

massachusetts democrats are hammering bernie sanders. representative steven lynch said this, i don't believe that individuals incarcerated for serious crimes should be allowed to vote, period. and the mayor of boston martin walsh says i think when somebody takes somebody's life, they lose the right to vote. it seems pretty simple, vince. >> it is not difficult. this is why -- this is one of the most insane debates i have ever seen us having in american politics because who is going to take up the position that these people deserves representation? no one. bernie sanders of all people saying they deserve to vote and the basis by which he says that is one of the craziest things. he says we should not infringe on anyone's constitutional path. that's strange. this is coming from a democratic party that wants to infringe constantly on the 2nd amendment, increasingly about the types of things you can say within the confines of the 1st amendment. all of a sudden now the democratic party is saying we're strict constitutionalists. we want to make

bernie sanders does not have a lot of allies. elizabeth warren is the person who can maybe bring some delegates. everybody else would try to stop bernie sanders from getting the nomination. a long way for all of this to play out. i think democratic voters are a lot less against bernie sanders than professional democrats are. >> i am wondering and it is too soon and so it is theoretically, i wonder because i have seen some talk already that this may be the dream scenario for trump to get alexandsanders. trump is proof that you never know in a general election. with trump, you had so many people in his own party who did not like him. i wonder if it gave him a certain measure of credibility with non-republican voters. if the system is this scared of him. i wonder if democrats end up ga ganging up on sanders. >> the challenge, sanders and trump are similar. they sort of thrive off of that conflict and that negativity. i think you are not going to out trump. you are not going to run a campaign that's going to be on his wavelength but

or maybe it is bernie sanders. it could be bernie sanders getting under his skin. he's been tweeting a lot about monday's fox news town hall with the presidential candidate. trump tweeted around 9:00 washington time, many trump fans and signs were outside of the fox news studio last night in thethriving, thank you, president trump, bethlehem, pennsylvania, for the interview with crazy bernie sanders. big complaints about not being let in. stuffed with bernie supporters. what's with fox news? i guess -- does he produce by tweet, executive producer the show by tweet? >> yes. >> he's not happy that people who liked what bernie had to say. 11 hours earlier, trump tweeted, so weird to watch crazy bernie on fox news. not surprisingly, brett baier and the audience was so smiley and nice. bret is so nice, by the way. now, we have donna brazile, the newest contributor, former dnc head. trump has ripped brazile for tipping hillary clinton off about a question before one of her 2016 debates with sanders. fair game. fox did not respond to trump's latest criticism, but bret bai

us out of the war on yemen. >> would you ask for bernie sanders? i don't think you would go that far, but you've work with him. >> correct. >> the president has lad transterrence and continuing to. yesterday we saw the president file a law from, deadline day that the congress has asked for those tax return is today. now the white house is telling carl kline who used to run the personnel security director, to not testify, even though the oversight committee has called for him to testify are you concerned about the not only lack of transparencies, but these pushes against it? >> i can't speak for the president -- >> but i'm asking you as a member of congress. >> i see a president who as undergone very significant, very prolonged two-year investigation. they have shaken it, he every way they possibly can, and i think it's easy for most americans to understand why he might not be overly eager to hand over even more information where it's not required by law. >> well, irs code, as you know, says "shall furnish." maybe this will go all the way to the sup
