Hes running. Biden is and pale and his party worships youth and diversity. He has spent decades representing as a moderate at a time when is marty party is moving hard to the left. As of right now though, biden is still the front runner for the democratic nomination but is not a comfortable fit. So what exactly is joe biden running on . Well you guessed, ideas, have another theory, youve mostly had a few beers already. If you think that, no, biden is not running it on ideas, insight, he is running on electability. The notion that only he, only joe biden, can be donald trump. We will let bidens new campaign at explain. Watch. We know in our bones of this election is different. The stakes are higher. The threat is more serious. We have to be donald trump and all the poles agree, joe biden t democrat to do the job. To restore the soul of the nation battered by an erotic vicious, bullying president birds dog strong, steady, stable related leadership. Got that . Strong, steady, stable. Now its doddering, flaky, weird. No. Strong, steady, stable. Thats joe biden selfdescription. He is most experienced candidate in the race. In fact, hes the only Vice President in American History who served more than two full terms in office beer thats how he met the survivors of the park when shooting at the white house just last year. Last year. The rest of us assumed advice mike prince was the Vice President but no. Watch. I watch what happened when those kids in parkland went up to see me and some of you covered it. Tucker a go. Pretty impressive. You thought that penance was the vp . Now. Biden was still the Vice President and none of us know of it. It turns out there are a lot of things you do know about him. For example, bidens conventional but biography, the when he can find on wikipedia claims he went from a private high school to college and then. He graduated76 in the class of 85 students bid that the biden we thought we knew. What we didnt know is that while becoming an attorney, biden was also working deep underground. Literally underground as a coal miner. Streaked face and head lamp include a pair thats what hes caught sometimes all these years later, mining just takes it out of the man. It you may be against me but i am a hard coalminer. Anthracite school, current scranton, pennsylvania, pair thats where i was born and raised. And its nice to be back in coal country. Tucker you have. A coal miner. Its true. You should also know that biden was also at various times of firemen, hardboiled homicide detector, a gold miner in the uconn, and a wise old indian chief who slayed many of their in his day. Not your average politician, for sure. Needless to say, biden was also a war hero. Of course he was. Don in his generations war. No. As the oldest oldest american soldier u. S. Senator serving in, braving limitless enemy fired to bring democracy to that nation appeared watch. Number one, you take all the troops out, you better have helicopters ready to take those 3,000 civilians inside the green zone where i have been seven times and shot at. Tucker yeah, hes been shot out. Others we should tell you remember that moment differently pair they claim biden was simply staying at a hotel in iraq when a more exploded hundred yards away. It didnt even delay the breakfast buffet but whatever appeared to biden, it was another deathdefying moment in a long life at the worlds most interesting monitor. Listen to the time he nearly got killed by the travel ban. If you want to know where al qaeda lives, you want to know where bin laden is, come back to afghanistan with me. Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down and the threestar general and three United States senators had 10,000 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are. Tucker i once again, we must try to, there was some dispute about what actually happened other possibly more factually really are a reliable claim that bidens helicopter landed because of a snowstorm, not because usama bin laden was personally trying to murder biden. But dont tell senator biden that. Nor should you tell him that nobody can remember seeing him at all those civil rights fittings and demonstrations he claimed to have lead in the 1960s. He and Martin Luther king, leaders of the movement, that was his story could hes got a million stories like that and hes the hero of every skill one of them. Take a seat and he will tell yo you. As you listen, this man, this former coal mine all it in several weights leader is the single sanest person running for president as a democrat for president to meditate on that for the minute. I want Alana Goodman has. Shes a clinical reporter at the Washington Examiner pachuta wrote a fantastic new piece on bidens many biographical claims, some of which seem to be categorically false. She joins us tonight for thanks for coming on. So, he was a coal miner. He was a coalminer, he was shot at coming out as a helicopter forced down and he discovered where obama usama bin ladens house was. So amazing stories. Actually, i had written a list of six of these different biographical details that biden had embellished and we had to cut that down from a lot more obviously. Tucker as you point out, the reason he got out in the 1988 race was because he put on and in effect to be a welsh minor, neil connect. There is something about to biden that leads him to lie about his biography but a point that you made that i think is worth focusing on is, he pretended or is claimed to be a leader of the civil rights movement. Yes, i think i could actually be the biggest problem for him out of all of these because this gets into an issue of appropriation and you are talking about he claims specifically that he was involved in the sit ins along route 40 at segregated restaurants. And the people who were involved, these are very serious activists, these were, this grew out of the Freedom Riders Movement had these were welltrained individuals who joined these citizens sit ins and he was going to produce income a lot of them to go to prison, they put in some cases their lives at risk, these three young men in mississippi were civil rights activists who were killed around the same time. They were registering black voters. And, so, you have biden making these claims, he is taking credit for this without taking any of the risks. Tucker are those claims true . Was biden a leader at these sit ins . Is there any evidence of that . There is no evidence of that. Ive spoken to local activists who were involved in this who did spend time in jail for participating in the sit ins and they have no recollection of joe biden ever being involved. I also spoke to as a historian who studied the freedom Motor Movement and wrote a book on this and he said, you know, biden would have been very unusual because he would have been a lot younger than these activists and he hadnt heard anything about him being involved in this. Biden himself also when he dropped out of the race in 1987 because of the plagiarism scandal, he said that he was not an activist. He said the extent of his civil rights participation was that he worked at an all black Swimming Pool for a summer when he was in college and so, you know, you have him himself saying this didnt occur after the fact. Tucker but he is on the record saying that he was a participant in these protests. Yes. But he was a participant and they sit ins. And in one case he said he organized a boycott of a restaurant in delaware called the pits. Because they didnt refuse to serve a black student who was a member of bidens football team. At that student later in an interview in 1997 said that he this had never happened. That he hadnt even told biden about this at the time when he was told to leave the restaurant so biden didnt find out about it until after the fact. Tucker remarkable. It shows what can happen if you are one of the only reporters from washington was actually interested in facts as you are and we are grateful that you are. Thank you for that. Alana goodman, thank you. Joe biden might not always be inspiring, charming though he can be but his wife jill says americans have to vote for him anyway. Thats her message. You dont like them . Vote for him anyway per lisa boothe is a senior fellow and womens voice and she joins us tonight to assess this. Lisa, are we overstating this quick to say that joe bidens wife is basically telling voters, i dont care if you like him in, i dont care if you agree, vote for him anyway . I wouldnt say it was a strong endorsement but i will let you and also the viewers at home take a listen for yourself. Listen to this. Your candidate might be more federal on how carolyn joe is but youve got to look at him winning selection and maybe you have to swallow it a little bit and say, okay, i but, at the bottom line has to be that you have two beat trump. Yeah, so i wouldnt exactly call this giving democratic primary voters the hard sell. I mean, shes essentially saying look, you may hate my husbands policy, you might not even like him, below, weve got a beat trump. And thats really been the argument of the biden campaign. We sought in the first ad that he he is running now in iowa as well as what joe biden just said there. Look, hes the most electable candidate but that argument is like basing your candidacy on quicksand because his lead right now certainly is not insurmountable. If you look at the headtohead standards, standard is not that far behind him in the matchup against President Trump and if you look at the person, the first to contest a New Hampshire and iowa, his lead is not that big. In New Hampshire, hes within the margin of error. Spew an interesting its own other words, if you build your entire campaign on the idea that you are going to win, the second it becomes doubtful that you are going to win, everything collapsed. Exactly. I know youve got richard good seed coming out, he made his point is well earlier on a number today when we were on together. He was talking about it. Even if you look at the ascension of Elizabeth Warren right now in the polls as well. This is not a strong argument for bidens team to be making and it really his arguments seem to be twofold about his candidacy. If one, i was Vice President to obama and his dad talks about obama enjoying the correlation and then to come i am most talked about it we talked about yesterday about that first comment about obama. President obama ran a report he tried to encourage him not to run in 2020 an end certainly encouraged him not to run in 2016 so i dont necessarily know if thats the strongest argument to be making either. Tucker a little weird for a man running on the obama legacy not to get obamas endorsement. Right. And hes not indoors. He said is not going to endorse. And also come i think joe bidens argument sounds a little bit of like what wed heard in 2016 as well. Listen to what oprah had to say. What you dont have to like her. If you dont have to like her. Do you like this country . Do you like this country . You better get out there. We know that hurley clinton failed to bring home states like wisconsin, pennsylvania, ohio, so i do think you want to mechanic primary voters to like the candidate. I think you want them to be fired up, you want them to turn out for your candidate. You want to get that base fired up, you want him to be passionate about your candidate and that really seems to be lacking with joe biden so he might be up to now, certainly not insurmountable, and i would not be surprised if someone else passes them by here in the next couple of months and certainly the next few weeks. Tucker but you never know. As a former coal miner, who come under fire in his many more zones as he has come hes a tough man. Hes had a lot of jobs, tech appeared very interesting life. I made of mystery. He can sell beer. It still needs, great is you. Thank you. It Democratic National committee as it turns out as having a hard time keeping up with fundraising here in the United States. They are going to a country that is far more welcoming. Mexico. Democratic National Committee chairman tom perez is holding three fundraisers in mexico city. Also proving a sense of humor, proving their legal residence since before they are allowed into the fundraisers. Sounds racist but we are going to check with joining us tonight, by the way, just got married. I saw the pictures and you are a lucky man. Thank you, thank you, i am. No question. Tucker this does seem a little dehumanizing and racist that you go to mexico and suddenly make people show photo i. D. Before they can come to your party . Why is that not bigotry . Im serious. You know it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with the law and the United States which is that you can only be a contributor to a president ial campaign if you are a United States citizen. That is not a very hard to ask and its not very much to prove. It has nothing to do with ones race. Tucker hold on her way. Dont stop at everything that has to do with my skull has to do with race creed thats what weve been hearing for the past three years. So anytime you ask anybody in mexico for a photo i. D. , that is an act of racial aggression. I mean, ive been playing close attention bit i know what the rules are. You guys wrote the rules. You know what they are to end all of a sudden, heres tom perez saying hey, mexicans, prove you are american. This would be true for every republican event abroad as well. He would have to prove your citizenship. It isnt racist to ask somebody in france or the u. K. Or germany, where, again, other parties are raising money to prove their american citizenship. Tucker what you told me it was racist to ask people in this country to ask for their i. D. Before they vote. It has nothing to do with voting here there are laws about contribute into a president ial campaign. This is nothing to be trifled with and frankly people have been got in trouble for violating them. Tucker let me ask you the bigger question of which is where i really shouldve started. Raising money in mexico. Because americans in the United States, after listening to democrats attacked their country and their history for the past year, arent enthusiastic or should they go to mexico to raise money . On things wrong. They are going where there are democrats who are american citizens who are willing to contribute. Its action out of a long trip. If you go up to mexico city, relative to go say from young to l. A. , so its really not asking too much or much of a hardship on tom perez and the state has obviously identified would be contributors. Great pair they will come away with enough money to justify the trip. Whats wrong with that . Tucker what, democrats have basically decided that the enemy is not simply trumpet its our country. Its United States. It like a listen to what they say. Every speech they give. Its a horror show. America is a horrible place. No democrat describes the United States as carnage or a which is exactly what donald trump he use those words. Citing one democrat who was running for democrat he was chairman analogy like that, you cant. So please, spare me tucker the country itself is so immoral that we owe a financial debt. They have come out for reparation spirit what does that say . That american citizens are so immoral that they owe money, they owe a blood death of money . To expiate the sins of the country . I mean, their campaigns are based on this. One thing you forgot to mention is that in the fox news poll, joe biden is beating donald trump 5038. That thats crazy. Think about that for psych. Hes got 38 against joe biden, donald trump. This isnt about reparations, its going be reparation today, caravans tomorrow, the squad today after, its always good to be something and somebody of color and some issue that youre going to try to rile up the base. Its not working. Tucker i would happy to never talk about reparations. I think its an insane idea. The democrats are the one who brought it up, not me. Actually think you are hearing in as you are hearing about aoc on is not market then you are the others. Tucker at richard, thank you for that. Weve got a fox news alert for you. President has canceled a scheduled meeting with Prime Minister of denmark. Its been on his calendar for a while clear the reason is greenland. The Prime Minister recently dismissed the idea of selling greenland United States pretty called a comical, absurd. So just minutes ago, the president read this conical, open mic denmark is a special country with invertible people but based on prep and Prime Ministers comments that she wouldnt know interest in discussing the purchase of greenland, i will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time. The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for the both the u. S. And denmark by being so direct. I think for her that and look forward to rescheduling some time and. By the way, a deal between the u. S. And denmark for New Territory would not be totally unprecedented. In 1917 come the United States purchase the u. S. Virgin islands from denmark. We will continue to follow the story. Coming out, the entire state of california claims the rights would undermined americas Immigration Laws print so would one small town be allowed to do the same thing and ignore californias gun laws . The mayor of that town, joins us, next. Tucker just when you thought the Jeffrey Epstein deal couldnt get we do, reality proves us wrong once again. Forget the questions about how epstein died. Now it turns out you cant trust pictures of one of his associates and eating a hamburger. A bizarre story brought to us tonight by our chief breaking news correspondent, Trace Gallagher. Hey, trace. Just like everything out its in the Jeffrey Epstein saga, new pictures of his former girlfri
