Gentlemelisa page thatactually d using a postelection briefing to gather information on team trump. A lot more coming up in a second. A lot of developments throughout the show. First tonight the democrats crazy train has yet another passenger because there he is crazy uncle joe biden after delaying his launch and delaying it again. He is finally now jumped into the 2020 race. He is now the 20th democrat running for president. Thats a record. Now, whats going to happen next is going to be pretty remarkable as joe biden tries to court the new ultra radical extreme socialist Left Democratic Party and convince them, well, hes their guy. But even the bigger story is overseas. And thats surrounding joe bidens shady involvement with ukraine breaking tonight also. You remember john solomon explained on this program while joe biden was Vice President his son hunter took a lucrative job at a major crew rainyian Energy Company and by the way is also Peter Schweizer on the china deal but when the
Hes facing a serious backlash for, you guessed it, being creepy. We begin with our hannity watch on the radical 2020 extreme democratic socialists. He hasnt yet formally entered the race but already, creepy uncle joe was facing two separate allegations now of inappropriate touching and a lot more. Just a short time ago, a connecticut woman told the hartford current, he put his hand around my neck, he pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, i thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth. Meanwhile, the first accusation came from former democratic lawmaker lucy florez of nevada, who encounter the Vice President backstage at a political event in 2014. She claiming crazy uncle joe got close to her from behind, sniffing and smelling her hair and planted an unsolicited case on the back of her head, saying, my brain couldnt process what was happening, i was embarrassed, i was shocked, i was confused. Lets take a look. Eva longoria was there. We were all lined up next to
It. And, dana, the former Vice President keeps getting asked about policy and strategy. And he does not seem eager to talk about either. And just keep saying that there will be a time to talk about those things later on. The former Vice President also told me that it was all part of its plan to start his much antifa anticipated campaign witt excandidate barack obama. If you are the best choice for the democrats in 2020, why did not president obama endorsed you . I asked president obama not to endorse, and he does not want to whoever wins the nomination showed win on their own merit. Thank you, welcome to delaware. And in terms of specifics about joe bidens record, there is no kind of a highlight reel of his decadelong Service Record in washington, d. C. , and his campaign announcement, he is just offering a sharp rebuke of President Trump, dana. Dana is that why focus so much on the 2017 Charlottesville Violence in the video message that he did today . Im assuming that they have done a
Tire knee. Thats what they said at the time. It hasnt happened. For more than two centuries this country relied on our institutions brilliantly designed and durable institutions to survive as an intact democracy and we have through a civil war, two world wars, great depression, 9 11 and more. All of those events put great stress on our system. None broke it. Then came 2016. Donald trumps election convinced many on the left that our associations no longer work. They must be torched and replaced by a system that will prevent trump and anyone like him from ever being elected again. Thats their goal. Theyre starting with the judiciary. At least four leading democratic president ial candidates have suggested packing the Supreme Court of the United States. Enlarging its size, adding more democratic appointees, making it political, a tool of elected officials rather than an independent branch of government. Here is Elizabeth Warren explaining that changing the court is a form of revenge for t
Going on for the last two and a half years. Charles all this as former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort is sentenced to just 47 months in prison on tax and bank fraud charges, far shorter than what was recommended by the special counsels office. Lets bring in the wall street journals deputy editor, Dan Henninger. Kim strassel and bill mcgurn with us as well. It just never stops, but going into the weekend, everyones still kind of reeling from the manafort sentencing. Yeah, the 47 months instead of the 21 years that they expected him to get. I think in many ways, charles, this is a preview of the mueller anticlimax to come. Because the manafort was being concentrated on here because he had been Donald Trumps campaign manager. His case was handed off from the Justice Department to muellers investigation in the expectation he would give them information about trump and collusion. Muellers lawyer said at the sentencing hearing he gave us nothing and maybe because he had nothing. And s
