Video Transcript

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard: She and her minions are trying to smear me, smear my character, and undermine my campaign, labeling me as a foreign agent, as a trader to my country.

Neil Cavuto: So, now she’s suing. Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard filing a $50 million lawsuit against Hillary Clinton for defamation. Hillary Vaugn has the very latest, Hillary.

Hillary Vaughn: Hey Neil, well Hillary Clinton still is not running for president but she is still stirring the pot in the Democratic primary by firing shots at candidates still in the race and now her meddling could end up costing her millions after Tulsi Gabbard filed a $50 million lawsuit against Clinton for saying this:

Hillary Clinton: She’s a favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. And, that’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset. Yeah, she’s a Russian asset.

Vaughn: In the lawsuit filed today, Gabbard says Clinton has a personal vendetta against her because she endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016, so she’s accusing Clinton of defamation that cost her millions in potential donors and also potential voters, writing in the lawsuit, “Clinton got exactly what she wanted by lying about Tulsi, she harmed her political and personal rival’s reputation and ongoing presidential campaign and started a damaging whisper campaign based on baseless, but vicious, untruths.”

We reached out to Clinton’s spokesperson for comment and are awaiting a response, but Clinton also fired fresh attacks against Bernie Sanders, saying in a new documentary, “nobody likes him.” Clinton is brushing off her Bernie blast tweeting last night, she thought everyone wanted her “authentic and unvarnished views,” but Neil, some of those views may be getting her into trouble in court.

Cavuto: Alright Hillary, thank you very much…

Joe Biden on Beau Biden’s Passing: “He Walks With Me, He’s Part of Me”

Former vice president Joe Biden speaking with Joe Scarborough on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Wednesday, Jan. 22, reacts to a question about the loss of his son, Beau, and how he feels his presence on the 2020 campaign trail.

Video Transcript

Joe Scarborough: When Elijah Cummings died, Mika and I were alone with Nancy Pelosi in the Speaker’s office. She showed us an old clip of her father, someone talking about her faith. I said I bet your father would be proud of where you are right now, I bet you wish that he could see you right now, and Nancy said, “well he does, my mom does too, I’m a person of faith, they are with me every day.” It reminds me of your fallen angel Beau.

How much is he with you every day on the campaign trail? How much guidance and how much inspiration do you get from Beau? Not only his memory, but also, I know you’re a person of deep faith, having Beau walk with you every day?

Former Vice President Joe Biden: Joe, Beau should be the one running for president, not me. Every morning I get up, Joe, not a joke, I think to myself, is he proud of me? Because he’s the one who wanted me to stay engaged. He made me promise, “promise me Dad, you’ll stay engaged.” It didn’t mean I had to run for president, but he was worried I would walk away from what I’ve worked on my whole life since I’ve been 24 years old.

He is part of me, Joe, and so is my surviving son, Hunter, and Ashley. He walks with me, I know that sounds, to some people, kind of silly, but he really honest to God does, I know he’s in me, I know he’s part of me.

Joe, you’d be amazed at the number of people who come up to me in a rope line, hundreds of people, over time, and they’ll throw their arms around me, men and women, and say, “I just lost my son, I just lost my daughter, I lost my wife.” All they want to know is that you can make it.

The way you make it, is you find purpose, and you bring and you realize they’re inside you, they’re part of you, it’s impossible to separate it. That’s the really good thing. Beau, and Hunter, and Ashley got me through a lot, but particularly Beau.

You might remember those debates, I remember you kiddin’ me once, I remember walking into the vice presidential debate and presidential debate, he’d be the last guy to talk to me. He’d grab me and say “Dad, look at me, remember Dad, home base, doesn’t matter just be who you are.” I swear to God! You saw those pictures, he grabbed me by the lapel. He still grabs me by the lapel every time I walk out.

Mika Brzezinski: Former vice president Joe Biden, it is so great to catch up with you, thank you so much for sharing so generously.

Biden: Thank you, Jill sends her best, Mika, thank you!

Video Transcript

Norah O’Donnell: Turning now to the presidential campaign, an extraordinarily personal attack from Hillary Clinton on Bernie Sanders, she’s accusing him of cultivating a sexist culture in his campaign. Ed O’Keefe reports tonight in Iowa.

Ed O’Keefe: Four years after Bernie Sanders nearly derailed her presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton is still holding a grudge.

Hillary Clinton: There is a set of expectations out of a first lady . . .

Ed O’Keefe: In a new documentary about her life, Clinton says in Congress, “Nobody likes Sanders.” She dismisses him as a career politician and adds, “It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad people got sucked into it.”

Asked by the Hollywood Reporter if she would support Sanders if he wins the Democratic nomination, Clinton said, “I’m not going there yet.” And, that he has created a “culture” where his staff and his supporters attack his competitors, particularly, the women.

Sanders, back in Washington for the impeachment trial, tried to downplay the criticism.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: On a good day my wife likes me so lets clear the air on that one.

Ed O’Keefe: Asked why he thinks Clinton is talking about him, Sanders said . . .

Sen. Sanders: That is a good question, ask her

Ed O’Keefe: The interview came the morning after Sanders apologized to former vice president Joe Biden for an OpEd written by one of his surrogates that called Biden corrupt.

Sen. Sanders: It’s absolutely not my view that Joe is corrupt in any way, and I’m sorry that that OpEd appeared. We don’t need personal attacks, I mean our difficulty is, I appeal to my supporters, please, engage in civil discourse.

Ed O’Keefe: We caught up with Biden at a campaign event this afternoon and I asked him about Sanders’ comments, and he told me, “I accept his apology.” Norah . . .
