she was there for key moments, including the response to this story about the trump tower meetings. there s a lot you can imagine lawmakers would like to ask her. the assertion of executive privilege is going to be tested in the courts and we ll see how far it gets. the president has had a tough time convincing courts their executive privilege applies when congress has an investigation underway. and joel payne, one of the things that happened last night also is the appearance of don jr., who is a major surrogate and very popular with the base. but this is part of what he said in going after joe biden. let s watch. the problem is, joe, you ve been in government for almost 50 years. what was the good one last week? remember joe biden comes out, well, if you elect me president, i m going to cure cancer. wow. why the hell didn t you do that over the last 50 years, joe?
the united states he faces charges under the espionage act here in the u.s.a. ainsley: 2020 democratic joe biden making promises on the campaign trail if he gets elected president. if i get elected president. we are going to cure cancer. really? okay. our next guest is fighting stage two cancer and she is calling out the former vice president in a brand new op-ed saying quote i m living proof the party of healthcare is trump s. ainsley: joining us now is natalie harp. i m sorry, i read your op-ed very powerful. what s going on in your life? yes. absolutely. well, first of all, i do feel for joe biden and his family with what they have gone through with cancer. and he of all people should know that when you are fighting cancer you don t use that as a political tool to try to get votes that they are going to cure us only if we exchange it for a vote. and about three years ago i
obviously, cancer is very personal for the vice president. his son, beau, died in 2015. the vice president spearheaded the cancer so-called cancer moonshot program for the obama administration. promising to cure cancer, though, i mean, that s it s something that if president trump said that, i think a lot of people, a lot of democrats, would, you know, maybe go after him for it. is it appropriate for vice president biden to make that promise? look, one of the things presidents have done throughout our history is to set ambitious and optimistic goals for the american people. jack kennedy said we will go to the moon, and not because it s easy, but because it s hard. by lifting our sights to the ambitious goal of landing on the moon and mobilizing our nation in that direction. i think he played a central role in getting it accomplished. not while president kennedy was still alive, but within just five years. so, i think, you know, it s important to remember that president obama en

we are reversing decades of failed trade policies which america must never again be held hostage to foreign suppliers of energy as we were under the obama biden sleepy joe, he is asleep the guy. heather: biden fired back at the president, reversing his stance on china and making a bizarre campaign promise. i believe trump poses a fundamental threat to america. china poses real challenges to the united states and in some ways a real threat. if i m elected president you are going to see the single most important thing that changes america, we are going to cure cancer. reporter: biden will campaign in clinton, iowa today. joe biden s rebuke of donald trump has many like tom tillis hitting back saying the
