the previous decisions and positions that he s had. i think he also has a lot of built-in advantages, not just name i.d. but i think his advantage among african american voters, particularly in the south, is going to be a real strong point for him and everybody else has to figure out what kind of lane exists to take on biden and the best way to critique him. chris: perhaps the biggest political development so far this year and certainly this week has been that now eight states passed very restrictive laws on abortion, alabama leading the way with the most restrictive law which would only alaw an exception not for rape or incest but only to prevent a serious health risk to the woman and here was the back and forth among alabama lawmakers. i apologize to the women of alabama for this archaic law we passed. alabama law it s a person. chris: we asked you for questions for the panel and on
johnson down to last word. on a smith corona 210. how many typewriters do you have? i have at this moment 11. chris: and will that get you through the end i m worried. [laughter] [background sounds] chris: caro has tried to take care of everything. he uses old-fashioned carbon paper to make copies of what he types. a few years ago he bought what he says is a lifetime supply, just in case they stop making it. now this program note. join me back here at stephens high school in claremont, new hampshire, tonight at 7 p.m. eastern on fox news channel for a live town hall with mayor pete buttigieg. that s it for now. have a great week, and we ll see you next fox news sunday.
pete buttigieg on fox news channel. we came to new hampshire the site of the first primary in eight months to get a sense for where the democratic race for president stands at this point. the field is 24 candidates deep with mayor pete rising in the polls. in tonight s town hall, voters will get a chance to learn more about the mayor and we ll see how he responds to moves republicans made this week on abortion and immigration. but first, we want to talk about all that with a candidate who has already had her fox town hall, senator amy klobuchar, joining us from the campaign trail across the state in new hampshire for a sunday sit-down. senator, welcome back. thanks, chris, it s great to be on. chris: eight states now, eight states have passed tight new restrictions on abortion that pro-life groups have been pushing and as i say,
of whether we pass dak a daca right now. we want to make it easier for people to come to country, they re still focused on getting immediate family members into the country. chris: there was no outreach to democrats at a all about this bill, and they have already declared it dead on arrival in this congress. but is it good politics for the president to be able to say it s not just that i m against illegal immigration, here are some things that i m for? i think it s necessary politics for him to change the conversation as it s being had around immigration. you know, we did a poll at our institute not long ago that showed while the american people support his approach to the economy, when it comes to immigration, they actually support congressional democrats over his approach. this is supposed to be his signature issue, and it isn t playing out electorally, politically for him the way he d like beyond his base. and so i think what you re seeing here is the president and his team tryi
him beyond where he wants to be. chris: all right. let s turn to immigration because the president did propose a new merit-based immigration plan which got real pushback from democrats and even some from republicans, especially because it didn t lower pat toomey s a little bit of an exception, a lot of republicans would like to see fewer legal immigrants come into the country as well. here s the president indicating that he doesn t expect this to become law anytime soon. take a look. if for some reason, possibly political, we can t get the democrats to approve this merit-based, high-security plan, then we will get it approved immediately after the election when we take back the house, keep the senate and, of course, hold the presidency. [applause] chris: katie, if this is really more about 2020 than any realistic chance of getting this passed before next year in this congress with a democratic
