he says russia did not med until th meddle in this election. you write about meeting putin and telling him you have no soul. how do you feel about the president with putin? >> i don't believe putin. there's no good reason to believe putin in my view. i don't believe an objective person should believe putin on this score. when i said that to putin, his response was to me, we understand one another. it wasn't meant -- i want to make it clear to him i understood where he was coming from. and he understood that i knew where he was coming from. i don't believe putin at all. they did meddle. he was responsible for it. >> do you think the president is being naive, or worse, with regard to putin? >> i don't believe putin. >> we'll take you at that. you come out and talk about this. we're learning things you were thinking during the election and the campaign. you said about a month out from

election day, you had a strong feeling that hillary clinton's campaign was doomed. that she was in real trouble. all the polls, all the pundits, the press, the campaigns themselves, thought this was turning into a hillary clinton win. what did you see? was it a gut feeling? >> i was getting off the plane. it hit me like a ton of bricks. there was no discussion of the issues. i thought at first that the president was -- the sitting president was just making so many mistakes. and then, i realized, for example, school up in harvard university, did a study. about 4% of the coverage was about an issue. the last thing he wanted -- she didn't get a chance to get her message out. no one can tell me what her position was on the things that affect the middle class. how were we going to pay for child care? how we were going to -- >> was that on her as a candidate?

>> it's not on her as a candidate. it was on the nature of the way the campaign was run. for example, the second debate. you knew martha raddatz, you knew she was going to ask about the tape and about groping. and you knew she was going to turn and say to hillary, what do you think? my argument was, you should have said everybody knows donald trump. let me tell you whey think about how i'm going to change your life. but the nature of the coverage was so intense about everything from his dalliances to the alleged impropriety of her e-ma e-mails. that's why i thought that. >> let's talk about the much-talked about fainting incident. donna brazile wrote, at that moment, do i have the power, running the dnc, to replace hillary clinton at the top of the ticket and turn to joe biden. did anyone ever discuss that possibility with you? would you have taken the nomination under those circumstances?

>> i give you my word, the first time i or my staff heard about that was in the book. and number two, i would never have taken. i was for hillary. i did 83 campaign events for hillary. i think i can say i worked as hard for hillary as anyone else. she would have been a first-rate president. i made a judgment well before that, that i was not prepared to run for president. i was not ready, in terms of my family. so, no. i would never have done it. >> hindsight is 20/20. now, president trump dispatched 16 republican opponents and hillary clinton. do you think you could have beaten donald trump? >> i don't know. the polling data said yes. but i wasn't in the race. you have to be in the race. it's a tough game. >> i'm glad you said that. you have to be in the race. are you in the race for 2020? thanks for setting that up. are you in the race for 2020? >> if the lord all-mighty came

down and said, the nomination is yours but you to take it now, i would say no. we're working through a whole lot. we're getting there. and i want to focus on my boy. >> we were in an irish pub last night. and i brought that up last night. i said, are you running? and instead of answering me, you turned to the crowd and said, what do you think? and you got a big round of applause. sounded like a little informal polling to me. >> no, look. i honest to god haven't made up my mind about that. i want to focus on the book and winning the off-year elections. >> you're not closing the door on it? >> i'm not closing the door. i've been around too long. i'm a great respecter of fate. but who knows what the situation is going to be a year and a half from now. i don't have any idea. i'm in good health now. i'm in good shape. knock as wood, as my mother would say. yoe i don't know. that's the truth. we want to talk about the book. it is from your heart.

matt and i were both saying, there are parts that are hard to read. and i can only imagine how they were to write. how are you doing? how are you feeling in this moment? >> to tell you the truth, i'm a little -- i'm a little apprehensive about what's coming up now. it was much harder to write than i thought it would be. i wrote it because i wanted to know what an extraordinary man my son was. he was truly was an extraordinary, honorable man. his brother and his sister. i want them to know -- i want the public to know about him, and depth of his sense of duty. but i want people to know, those people out there, who have gone through what i have gone through and worse, is there's hope. you can find hope in purpose. you can really find hope in purpose. that's the main reason i wrote the book. >> you wrote something in the book. and savannah and i in the makeup room, as parents, we both choked up. in your diary, you wrote, may 30th, 7:51 p.m. you knew the exact time.

it happened. my god, my boy, my beautiful boy. so hard to read those words, vice president biden, how did you write them? >> well, it was much harder than i thought it was. i went through my diary, which i keep episodically. and i kept more during that period. 90% of what i wrote in the diary, when i would be by myself late at night, i couldn't write. but it was -- it was hard. >> i couldn't help but notice your reaction. we have this screen here. they brought it in. and here's this beautiful picture of beau, your beloved. and the book talks about how hard he fought. i don't know if people knew that. >> he did. look, here's the thing. everybody wondered -- he just

would say to me -- i think you met him. he would say, dad, look at me, dad. when people ask you about me, smile, dad. i don't want anybody feeling sorry for me, dad. every day he went to work. he was starting to lose control on the right side of his body because the left side of his brain. and the treatments were affecting his immune system. but he was -- to him, everything was duty. i know that sounds -- haethat's what i want people to know about him. everything was a matter of honor and duty. this is what you're supposed to do. you got to do it. when i say, it was promise me, dad. everybody thinks it was promise me to run. it wasn't that. it was promise me, dad, that -- barack asked me a question early on. he said, what do you want to do with the rest of your life? i told him, what i want to do with the rest of my life, i want to do what i've wanted to do since i was 15 years old.

i want to make a difference. i want to be engaged. and beau was worried i would withdraw. promise me you won't walk away from what you care about. i am working on issues in delaware that i care about. i hope he's proud. >> we're going to speak about many other topics with a group of people in the studio in a couple minutes. talk more about the books and some of the issues you're dealing with. vice president biden, it's nice to have you here this morning. thank you very much. >> good to be here. something else that is dominating political headlines. embattled senate candidate, roy moore. he is fighting back against accusations of sexual misconduct, to derail his campaign. the alabama republican labeled the allegations against him fake news. nbc white house correspondent, kristen welker, is on capitol hill this morning. kristen, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you. republicans are making a major push on their tax reform bill this week. it's being overshadowed by the

efforts to contain the mounting fallout over the roy moore scandal. this morning, moore is digging in, after the bombshell "washington post" report, that says moore molested a 14-year-old girl in 1979, and pursued three other teens in his 30s. now, a growing number of republicans in washington say moore should drop out of the race if the allegations are true. moore denied molesting a 14-year-old, he didn't deny dating underaged girls, in an interview with sean hannity. telling the news host, he got permission of their moms. casting the allegations of a political hit job. moore is threatening to sue. >> three days ago, "the washington post" published another attack on my character and reputation. these attacks fall that i was with a minor child are completely false and untrue, and for which they will be sued.

>> reporter: now, under alabama law, it is too late to remove moore from the ballot, before the special election. if this seat were to fall into democratic hands, it could sink key parts of the president's agenda. still, it is making it difficult for republicans to focus on policy issues. matt? savannah? >> kristen welker on capitol hill for us this morning. 7:17. let's head over to al. what's going on? >> we have a big storm system and a series of storms that are coming in from the pacific northwest. they will march across the country and affect a good portion of it. snow in the upper elevations. rain along the coast. but the big story is going to be the winds. look at the winds along the coast. gusts up to 80 miles per hour. seattle could see 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts. portland, 45. and the cascades up to s up t 60-mile-per-hour wind gusts. damage to homes. we're going to keep marching across. this first system comes across.

"fierce." alleging that dr. larry nassar who faces 22 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, abused her. i would lie on the table. my hands balling themselves into fists, as his ungloved hands worked their way under my clothing. treatment sessions with him made me feel tense and uncomfortable. the two-time olympian says she dreaded being worked on by nassar. becoming the second member of the fierce five to speak out about nassar. last month, mckayla maroney broke her silence as part of the me too movement. saying nassar began abusing her at age 13. nassar has denied accusations against him and has pleaded not guilty to assault charges. his attorney did not comment because of a gag order in the criminal trial. usa gymnastics say they're story any athlete was harmed by nassar. noting the first time they became aware a gymnast expressed

concerns about the doctor was in 2015. an investigator interviewed the young woman and other gymnasts, inlacluding raisman. a month later, nassar was released of his duties. usa gymnastics regrets if aly felt any constraints in sharing her full experiences with an independent investigator, or at any time. aly's passion and concern for athlete safety is shared by usa gymnastics. our athletes are our priority. and aly raisman joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> you were doing a very brave thing. did you have thoughts about not including that portion of your life in this book? did you think, maybe i'll just put that off to the side and deal with it later? >> from the moment that i realized that it happened to me, i wanted to, you know, talk about it. and then, when i found out i was

going to be writing a book, i felt like i wanted to include the best moments in my life, but also the worst moments of my life because they both make us into who we are. although the hardest parts are really difficult to talk about. you know, even right now, it's uncomfortable and hard for me to talk about. but it's made me into a stronger person. and if you're going to write a book, you have to include everything, in my opinion. >> it's very gray and confusing for you as a young girl. you were just 15 years old. you're in a foreign country. your parents aren't with you. they said this doctor, dr. nassar, was a good guy. and he would take care of you. >> i thought he was weird. but i just thought he was weird. i want people to know i really didn't know it was happening to me. he was a doctor and he told me that his treatment would help heal all of my injuries. i was so young. i had never really worked with another doctor or trainer before. and everyone said he was the best. he would give me these gifts. i really thought he was my friend. and he seemed like he had my

back. he was such a master in a nip later. that's important for people to understand. these monsters are so good at in a miplating you. you're brainwashed to think i thought he was so nice. >> you call him a monster? you think that of him? >> i do. i think he's a monster. it's disturbing what he did to me and other people. it's bigger than just me. it's such a horrific thing to happen. and i stand her with all the other survivors that have, you know, have been abused by larry and other people that have been abused by anyone. it's disgusting. >> coming forward is not easy. and you say in your book here, there seems to be so many reasons not to speak up. i tick them off in my mind. what if i was wrong? maybe what he did was legitimate. maybe people thought i was exaggerating or being dramatic. maybe they would think i was doing it for attention. and then, there was larry's family to think of. what if i ruin their lives?

that decision to finally say, enough. what was that catalyst? >> i think i realized, you know, i'm -- i think it's totally normal to be afraid of what people are going to think of you. and society -- sometimes it makes it hard for people to come forward because you have people that victim-shame. we have to stop that. it's awful. and you know, i just -- i wanted to do the right thing. i knew it was the right thing. and i actually got a letter 36 hours after i spoke up in august. i was so nervous about speaking up. i spoke out against usa gymnastics. and i got a letter from a 14-year-old girl. and he said she read my statements and because of that, she had the courage to tell her mother that her father had been sexually abusing her. and he threatened her life at times. i realize that letter is more important to me than any medal i've ever won in my life. she changed my life because she made me realize this is the right thing. and if i can help one person,

you know, that's totally what it's all about. >> dr. larry nassar denies all of it. and usa gymnastics said we did everything we could. do you think usa gymnastics did everything they could? >> i do not. an i still don't think they're doing everything they can. they keep releasing the same, similar statement that they welcome to work with me. but what people don't realize is after the private investigator came to see me, in 2015, i was kind of -- i made it clear that i was -- he was touching me, making me uncomfortable. but i was making excuses for him, which i realize later is often what people do when they're manipulated. i kept reaching out, saying i wanted to meet with her again. when i had time to process it, i realized this is really bad. an i was told to keep it quiet they were handling it. they didn't let me help. i want to help. i want to do more. the '60 minutes" interview and

this interview, i'm not going to stop until i get what i want, which is change. >> congrats on this. and congrats on this book. it is full of lifelesss lessons. if you need something to push you over this, is the book you need to read. >> thank you so much. >> we're proud of everything you've done in gymnastics. your mom is here, cheering you on. >> her support. >> how about 2020 in tokyo? should we book our tickets and you'll be there? >> i want people to know, one bad chapter in a book or your life, it is not over. we are all have to support each ore. i'm going to be okay. i'm going to be stronger. >> what do we say about tokyo? yea or neh? her book is called "fierce." to find out more about it, head to today.com/shop. al? >> thanks, guys.

briana with a question about gun control. >> hello. with the tragedy that just happened in texas, my question is, how do you justify the democratic view on gun control, when the shooter was stopped by a man who was legally licensed to carry a gun? >> first of all, the kind of gun being carried, he shouldn't be carrying. assault weapons -- i wrote the first -- the last serious gun control law that was law for ten years. it outlawed assault weapons and outlawed magazines that had a whole lot of bullets. number one. number two, it's rational to say certain people shouldn't have guns. some people with guns are legally able to acquire a gun and they're crazy after the fact, that's life. there's nothing you can do about that. but we can save a lot of lives and we stopped tens of thousands of people from getting guns who shouldn't have guns.

down and grab a letter from the top drawert a son. and he said to john said am really sorry. for the longest time, i asked why? why? why? because life goes on, i get up and i thought to myself, what would my son, joe, be doing, if he were still here. and i devoted myself to dealing maybe that's the reason for it all. mom, god love you. >> thank you. god bless you. >> you're a strong lady. >> thanks for your question. >> appreciate it. >> carson? >> we have #bidentoday. if you want to ask a question, you can use that. one from patricia, saying, do you think your age will be a problem with voters in a presidential race? >> your birthday is next week, i might remind you. >> i think my age is a problem with jill. so, i -- you know, i'm known as

jill's husband. >> still handsome. >> that's the first time she's said that. look, i think people have a right to ask about your age, your health. i think if anyone were to run for president, you should fully disclose your medical records. and right now, as my mother would say, knock on wood, i'm healthy. i'm in pretty good shape. and -- you know, that's the way off. if we run, i think it's a legitimate issue for people to raise. >> hoda, got another one? >> hi, sarah. how are you? >> good. how are you? >> sarah has a question about president trump. >> i know this might be hard to answer. what is one thing, if any, that you believe he is doing well as president. and go, orange. >> all right. syracuse. i think there's a number of things that he's doing well. but even the things he's doing well, is how he does them.

david brooks is one of my favorite columnists. he wrote a piece, i think i mentioned to you, matt. there's an invisible moral fabric that holds up society. and people listen to what leaders say. and the kind of -- the way in which -- it assumes a citizen that is engaged in decent and honorable. and speaks with some degree of civility. and i do think there's things that he's doing well. i think he's -- it's more the tone of this administration that bothers me. >> with all due respect, you haven't come up with one thing you think he's doing well yet. >> well, i think he married very well. i'm actually trying to think because, there are -- i can't

think of something right now. i'm not being a wise guy. but there's a lot of the country that's still functioning. for example, the choice of keeping the military personnel that we left behind in place in the middle east was very, very important. he hasn't changed that policy. he's continued that policy. i think he's doing that very well. he's pursuing the way they're beginning to try to organize the military. it's mostly the military men around him that have been the stable factors many the conduct of the foreign policy. a lot of bravado, but he hasn't changed a whole lot so for. >> quickly on the rhetoric. just over the weekend, there was an exchange of rhetorical fire between kim jong-un who called the president a lunatic and old. and then, the president tweeted back, you're short and fat. when you think about that in the context of two countries with nuclear weapons. >> i think in the context of

common decency. that's not the way -- you know, when your children hear a president referring to anybody that way, i mean, our children are listening. i mean, these things matter. and it's just not an appropriate way. to me, savannah, every president i've known, and i've known eight, they understand there's an obligation and a sense of dignity about the office. you know, i've used the phrase a number of times. we are admired, not just for the exercise of our power, but the power of our example. and it matters, the way we conduct our discourse. it matters the way in which we talk. it matters, as david brooks said, people are listening. our leaders have impact on attitudes. i just think it's a big mistake. and it's beneath the office.

>> hoda? >> i have sav here. hey, sav. you have a question for the vice president? >> yes, sir. what was one of your favorite memories with former president barack obama in the office? >> i guess one of my favorite memories was when we would have lunch and talk about my granddaughter and his daughters. he coached my granddaughter's basketball team. and his daughter, his number two daughter and number three granddaughter are best friends. they play on the same team together. they've been going to school since grade school and they're in high school together. they vacation together. i enjoyed most -- we had lunch once a week every week. and we would sit down and talk -- one of my favorite moments was, we were watching the final four. sitting on the floor together. and he's a big basketball fan as you know, and a player, as well. they come up to him and said, i understand you coach your daughter's basketball team? he said, yes. i also coach the vice president's daughter.

she's going d-1. she's going d-1. that's one of my favorite moments. >> do you and former president obama talk now when things happen in washington. for example, when you see some of his legacy and your legacies being unraveled and reversed by executive order? do you talk? do you vent? do you complain to one another? >> we don't complain but we talk. we're in contact and we see one another still. and we strategize what we can do to help keep these things from happening. like the health care bill. we were engaged with the congress and with others as to a strategy to prevent that from being unraveled. it's prevented from being completely unraveled at least. in terms of, did you hear what he just did kind of thing, no. we're realistic. we both know that the tone was set even before the president

was -- before the present is
