worked with ted cruz. she s trying to do the thing i think every one needs to stow it but speaker pelosi has to lead by example. all right. susan, he mentioned maureen dodd. let s throw up part of the column. is all this playing into republican hands? why is it that the president defended pelosi several days ago? who knows why the president does certain things. he thought he could make some point along the line with it. my father used to tell me, obedience, i can demand. respect i must earn. donald trump can require obedience because he can threaten a primary challenge. nancy pelosi on the other hand has gotten to where she is and won this speakership fight because she is widely respected by her conference. there is something very true in what she said, the squad is four votes. this is about legislation and
political gain? that would seem to be why anybody would care ant it. i mean, look, if this happened, and we have no reason to believe that it didn t, that bo biden encouraged his father to run for president while he was dying, that s an interesting footnote to all of this. and it obviously may help to explain why joe biden is considering so seriously the idea of running for president. but if the story is to have any meaning that he s actually the one who told maureen dowd that which might make some sense if it happened. i don t think there s anything wrong with him telling her that if he wanted to. but i suppose the story raises the idea that he did it all to try to generate sympathy for hymn which would in turn make him a more popular figure if he decided to enter the race. i know joe biden. and i know what it s like to lose a son. and i don t doubt for one-on-one
in our community. it s great the see you both. our con doll enss of what you ve all gone through. his spongs touched off a big campaign trail controversy, part of what is breaking tonight. look, he s here and he will join us next on that. plus, mrs. carson is here for her very first visit to the kelly file. don t miss this. and then, new fallout tonight from an ugly report suggesting vice president joe biden may have been the one who leaked intimate details about a private conversation he held with his son shortly before his son s death to maureen dodd of the new york times for political add van tang. we re looking into who put that out and whether it s true. plus, the cameras were rolling when police had a vie encounter with this zublt. what came before this moment and whether that will change this story.
then, let the principal help you get there. join us as we celebrate eddie s retirement, and start planning your own. developing tonight, mr. biden was the one who leaked the story about his dying son two months ago to new york times columnist maureen dowd who he encouraged his father to take on hillary clinton. the story was unsourced. but, today, political reports that it was the vice president himself who fed that story to the newspaper. fox news senior political analyst is with us now. brett, and the suggestion is that joe biden what? used the death of his son for
and, in fact, he said, it should be politicized. sure enough, in the 24 hours since the white house announced the president would visit at the end of this week, several members of the community have questioned this visit. and the president s real agenda. in a moechment, we ll be joined the father of one of survivors as well as the mayor and the council president. but, first, trace gallagher gets us caught up on the controversy tonight. there s no doubt when the president spoke just hours after the shooting and talked about gun control, many people were not happy. it s a pro-hunting, pro-gun community. residents went on the record saying the president should have focused on the families, not the politics. his announcement he made about gun control and the way that coming off the first thing he said instead of saying i m sorry for the families, i think it was just wrong. among the most out spoken is david jakes, the publisher of the conservative roseburg beacon newspaper.
