at customink.com lisa: welcome back. joe biden stirring controversy on the trail by weighing in on what he calls the biggest mistake of hillary clinton s presidential campaign. biden saying that he advised clinton not to get in the gutter over president trump s access hollywood tape right before the second debate, listen to what he had to say. i said i respectfully recommend she stand there and say everybody knows who donald trump is. let me tell you what i m going to do for the country. and not get into the debate because it just drags it down. if lisa: that comment drew fire from he told buzzfeed is biden suggesting hillary s reaction to the access hollywood tape should have been oh, never mind?
i understand the pressure absolutely but if you have that, if you have all those obstacles, then why the heated rhetoric? lisa: the challenge is when you have the top democratic contenders calling for gun confiscation, it s going to make gun owners in the country really worried and put pressure on congress particularly republicans to pump the brakes and disrupt the democratic counterparts and i think of democrats are truly serious about getting anything done, we will see what they produce in the house. if they don t think they can pass they are. and so the house moves forward with something like red flag laws, something similar to what lindsey graham put forth. if they put forth banning ar-15s, that s not going to happen. it s a nonserious proposal. we will see what ultimately goes down but if you are mitch mcconnell, you are concerned about what can actually get done is not going to put your members in a vulnerable position.
much, how to think at this level of detail? they are so good at it and they can quantify just how much less the president is worth now that he s in the white house. they are just so stupid when they start making these remarks. harris: of the president defends himself in the way that melissa francis just played it out, what does that do politically for him or her to teach is? lisa: i m glad that they conceded. to your point, democrats are doing this because they want to bring down his approval numbers and i think democrats are hurt in the districts that they have more president trump one: 2016 and now going to be on the ballot again, so that puts them in a tough position. i think democrats hope to really bring down the president outside of the 2020 election died the day that robert mueller testified. even the new york times
that you re right, steve. democrats are still focused on why hillary clinton lost, i wonder why joe biden isn t more focused on why he lost the first few times he ran for president. if i were in his shoes, i d be figuring out how not to do that again. i m doing it again. and at a time where his party s lynchings of the left, the man in the middle of the mainstream in this party, the moderates is talking more about hillary clinton and i made a mistake and matching bracelets with barack obama, first i need you and then i don t. it is litigating the past. steve: the joke is that biden s mistakes are basically the journalist stimulus plan. it s a way to get them covering more but it s interesting that hillary clinton is reportedly advising elizabeth warren. friday, it s going to be put into sharp focus to the contender is for the debate in the next round. lisa: one more thing to
them a window to get together and do something? can they stem the tide of it and act? elizabeth: they want to try to fix what s above but not what s on the ground. what s really striking about he is doing is getting more conservative judges appointed, 99 since the president was elected and starting to reshape the ninth circuit court of appeals. melissa: if you look at it, they are fighting right now in court over a manufactured problem because our system is so broken and people think that way they did they did here is to claim asylum so they are fighting over these asylum problems where if they fix the system where you could emigrate for economic reasons which is what so many people are doing, here are the rules for it and here s what we want. if they just made that clear, then people would be making the border. lisa: immigration is one of
