particular? no, i m actually not. i completely agree with patti. and it hasn t just rallied democrats around joe biden, it has ralliied independents, neve trumpers, people sick of this unfit president. and they see that this president is completely afraid of joe biden and that has i think made people really understand, well, if he is afraid of joe biden, he must be the strongest one in the democratic candidate field and that he can beat donald trump. and for so many people, that is the number one priority. great conversation. i thank you both for being here. coming up, a frightening trend putting new york s jewish community on alert. what people are saying about a string of apparent anti-semitic attacks. the wait is over. t-mobile is lighting up 5g nationwide. while some 5g signals go only blocks,
money put together could actually power forward a campaign. and that is a good thing. but i wouldn t draw the conclusion that wealthy people who give contributions to candidates are bad or sinister or are corrupt. and the people who receive them, i wouldn t draw that conclusion either. and this will have resonance because most of us have not been in a wine cave and that there is something illusive about that and i think it will continue to be an attack. i agree but this is a disaster for both of them. why? having come through the dean gephart suicide impact and where the two co-front-runners got into this battle and it never works in a candidate field. they re hurting each other and others will benefit from that, particularly amy klobuchar and maybe joe biden. you re the only one to win an iowa caucus i agree with joe. i think fighting about an issue
aren t. you look at prescription drug costs, this president has done nothing and the democrats passed hr3 a few days ago which is going to bring down the cost of prescription drugs by allowing medicare to use its purchasing power. and that s why voters are voting democratic. let me just follow up on that because this will feature in the debate tonight i imagine because it s been featured in every debate. but there is no consensus position in the democratic candidate field right now on this question. does that matter that the candidates themselves have very different views on moving to a medicare for all system or including a public option or something else? every democrat running for president, chris, as you know believes health care should be a right for all, not a privilege for a few and we should have access to quality affordable health care. thanks to lbj and barack obama and other democrats we re 85% up the way of the mountain, and we
i yield back. those in favor say aye. we have someone asking for time. i didn t see a request. now recognize it. you ve now recognized it. i recognize mr. gates. thank you, mr. chairman, move to strike the last word. the gentleman is recognized. they were right they can t wait until the next election, but it s not the reason they say. the reason they can t wait until the next election is because they ve taken a look at their candidate field and they have fundamentally changed every standard that they ve set for themselves for impeachment for the american people. whether you like president trump or don t like president trump it would at least be worth acknowledging the democrats have moved the goalposts on what it would require to bring us to this point and to harm our nation and to distract us so much from the critical needs of american people who probably wonder why we re not focused on them right now. first they told us it has to be bipartisan.
it shows when an electorate gets tired of something that isn t being argued will by the opposition party it can backfire and also shows the weakness of the democratic field. it frustrates my democratic friends but i keep telling them your candidate field isn t it in these polls show it, this impeachment strategy shows it and the numbers are the numbers, democrats keep thinking trump is going to lose because he is donald trump and people don t like him but show me the data that backs that up against your candidate and right now in iowa which president obama won twice, trump is up against all their front runners. this impeachment process isn t going well for them. they need to rethink how they will handle 2020. rob: last time impeachment happen 1998, bill clinton s second term, bill clinton s approval rating was 59% in
