be? we put pressure on ourselves to move fairly and to move fast. and i think we have moved fairly fast. and so we will receive the report from the intelligence committee next week and i will leave it to the speaker and the chairs to decide, you know, an exact date. martha: do you think it s going to happen before christmas? i don t want to put an artificial date on it but there is an urgency to secure upcoming elections, voting starts in iowa and new hampshire within 60 days. and this president on the july 25 call invokes one of his potential political opponents when he asked a foreign government to involve itself in our elections and so there is an urgency to make sure that those elections are pure. martha: that seems to be a new line of argument. that we heard today. i have been saying it for a long time you can go all the way back to the beginning i have said. this. martha: the reason it has to be done this overhanging threat that the president is going to do somethin
the voting starts, i think there are opportunities for people to emerge. i think klobuchar is still introducing herself to voters. a fair amount don t know who she is. when you look at polls of not who people support but democratic voters, what do they believe, there s a lot of evidence they are not generally as extreme as sanders and warren. so i think there is room for as you said a liberal, not a progressive leftist. paul: what do you think of that? some people think it s down to biden versus warren at this stage because bernie just he can t break through. he s got that core there, that core support from 2016 but he s basically he s giving the same talking points from 2016 and he s not going to build on that. what do you think? yeah, i certainly agree that this is a three person race. and that s why you saw some of the an particular antics youe stage, second tier candidates
what you apply the simplistic label. let s turn to polls, the media just went absolutely nuts when cnn poll came after, registered dems and democratic leaners showing kamala harris surging to second place and quinnipiac poll that showed biden up by 2 over harris, basically statistical tie and abc survey and gives 29 to 11% lead over kamala harris, doubling support, are pundits overreacting to these varying polls in some numbers saying biden is soon to be toast? i wish i could get that as a question on jeopardy sometimes. obviously the answer is yes, they always oversimplify, they always react too strongly, too quickly to every new event, to every new poll, hey, the voting
every new poll, hey, the voting starts in february, you know, i understand there are 25 candidates, they can t report every day that x is ahead because nobody will pay attention, it s not interesting, they have to mix it up and change the leaders that doesn t mean it s accurate reporting. do you think the polls were influenced by days and dais of coverage where many pundits said there s no question kamala harris did look good in debate, joe biden, was slow, out of touch and she got the growing profiles and aggressive and prosecutor and all of that, when you get bombarded in that kind of environment, then the next poll is taken, is there a cause an effect there? there could be a cause an effect, what s interesting to me and what ought to be cautionary tale for pundits is apparently their punditting had no effect, in fact, biden is doing much better and we have gone back to
extraordinary. when you consider that donald trump has spent now years saying he has no business with russia, he didn t have anything to do with russia. that here we have an october of 2015, at the peak of the campaign, just before the voting starts. right before the iowa caucuses in january. he signs this letter doing business with russia. now, the project did not come to fruition. but isn t this something the voters want to know? and doesn t this explain, at least in part, why he was so, o solicitous to vladimir putin, why he wanted to ingratiate himself with the man who could give thumbs up or thumbs down to this project? i mean, you know, this is not criminal in and of itself. but it just demonstrates how much trump has lied about his relationship with russia since this investigation began. and rudy guiliani, his personal lawyer, said he never signed anything. but now we have, thanks to chris
