says russia didn't meddle in this election. you write in the book about meeting putin yourself and telling him you have no soul. how do you feel about how the president is dealing with putin? >> i'm reluctant to criticize the president when he is abroad but i don't believe putin and there is no good reason to believe putin in my view. i don't think many objective person should believe putin on this score. when i said that to putin his response was to me that we understand one another. it wasn't meant -- i wanted to make it clear to him that i understood his -- where he was coming from, he understood that i knew where he's coming from, but 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 will take you at that. let me go on to some other things as you come out and talk ab

some things that you were thinking during the election and campaign. you said that about a month out from election day you had a very 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 just a gut feeling? >> i will tell you what i saw, i was getting off a plane and it hit me like a ton of bricks that there was no discussion of the issues. i thought at first that the president was the -- the sitting president was just making so many mistakes, then i realized that -- for example, a school up in harvard university did a study. only 4% of all the coverage was about an issue. 4%. so 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 middle class. how were we going to pay for child care? how were we going to make sure -- >> and is that on her as a candidate? >> no, it's not on her as

candidate it's on the nature of the way the campaign was run. like, for example, the second debate, first thing you knew martha radish, she is a tough reporter you knew she was going to ask the question of trump about the tape and about groping and you knew she was going to turn and say to hillary what do you think? well, my argument was you should have said everybody knows donald trump let me tell you what i think about how i'm going to change your life, but the nature of the coverage was so intense about everything from his dalianses as well as the alleged impropriety of her e-mails that it never got to the e-mails. >> let me ask you about something else that happened during the campaign, that much talked about fainting incident about hillary clinton. donna brazile has written in her moment that at that moment thee thought 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

>> i give you my word the first time i or any of my staff heard about any of that was in the book, number one and income two i would never have taken it. i was for hillary. i did 83 campaign events for hillary. i did more events and worked as hard for hillary as anyone else. she would have been a first rate president. at that point i made the 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 that. >> hindsight is 20/20, but now president trump dispatched 16 republican opponents and hillary clinton. do you think you could have beaten donald trump? >> oh, gosh, i don't know. i mean, you know, the polling data at the time said yes and since then, but, you know, this is -- 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, by the way. are you in the race for 2020? >> look, i can tell you honestly if the lord all mighty came down and said,

yours but you have to take it now i would say no because i am -- i am just -- we're working through a whole lot, we're getting there and i want to focus on my boys. >> 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 you said what do you think? >> i was joking. >> 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. right now i want to he can to us on the book and i want to focus on running the off year elections. >> but you are not closing the door on it? >> i'm not closing the door. i've been around too long. i am a great respecter of faith. 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 on wood as my mother would say. but, you know, i just don't know. i honest to god that's the truth. >> we want to talk about the book of course because it is from yourea

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? i mean, 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. i mean, it was much harder to write than i thought it would be. i wrote it because i wanted people to know what an extraordinary man my son was, he was an extraordinary honorable man and his brother and sister and i wanted -- i want the public to know about them and the depth and sense of duty, but i also want people to know those people out there who have gone through what i've gone through and worse that there's hope. you can find hope in purpose. you can really find hope in purpose and that's the main reason i wrote the book. >> you wrote something in the book and savannah and i in the makeup room this morning both looked at each other and as parents we both choked up. in your diary you wrote may 30th, 7:51 p.m., quote,

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, but i kept more during that period and i realized 90% of what i wrote in the diary when i would come home and just sit down by myself late at night, i couldn't -- i couldn't write, but it was -- it was hard. >> i couldn't help but notice the reaction, we have this screen here, we brought it here and here is this beautiful picture of beau, your beloved, and the book talks so much about how hard he fought and i don't know if people knew that. >> well, he did. look, here is the thing that everybody wondered -- he just would say

met him -- he would say, dad, look at me, dad. when people ask you about me, smile, dad. smile, dad. i don't want anybody feeling sorry for me, dad. every single day he went up and went to work even though he had aphasia and he started to lose control on the right side of his body because it was 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 -- but that's what i want people to know about him. everything was a matter of honor and duty and this is what you're supposed to do and you've got to do it. that's why when i said it was promise me, dad, it was promise me -- everybody thinks it was promise me you will run. it wasn't that. it was promise me, dad, that you will -- barack asked me a question early on, he said what do you want to do with the rest of why you are life and i told him what i want to do with the rest of his life, since i was 15 years old, i want to make a difference. i want to be engaged

was afraid i would withdraw. so his promise was, promise me, dad, you won't walk away from what you care about. what you work on. that's why i have this institute in penn and delaware, i'm working on issues i care about and i just hope he's proud. >> well, we're going to speak about many other topics with a group of people here in the studio in just a couple of minutes, talk more about the book and some of the other issues you're dealing with. vice president biden, it's awfully nice to have you here this morning. >> good to be here. now something else that is dominating political headlines, embattled senate candidate roy moore is fighting back against the accusations of sexual misconduct threatening to derail his campaign. amid mounting pressure to drop out late last night the alabama republican labeled those allegations against him fake news. nbc white house correspondent kristen welker is on capitol hill this morning. >> reporter: republicans are making a major push on their tax reform bill this week but it's

all being overshadowed by their efforts to contain the mounting fallout over the roy moore scandal and this morning moore is digging in after that bombshell "washington post" report which said that moore molested a 14-year-old girl in 1979 and pursued three other teens, ages 16 to 18, when he was in his 30s. now a growing number of republicans in washington say moore should drop out of the race if the allegations are true, while moore denied molesting a 14-year-old he didn't outright deny dating underaged girls during an interview with sean hannity last week, saying he always got the permission of their moms. overnight moore and his supporters were defiant, casting the allegations as a political hit job. moore is even threatening to sue. >> three days ago the "washington post" published another attack on my character and reputation. these attacks obviously [ inaudible ] -- false and

>> 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 very difficult for republicans to focus on policy issues. matt and savannah. >> kristen welker on capitol hill for us this morning. thanks. 7:17. let's head over to al. what's going on? >> we have a big storm system and a series of storms coming into the pacific northwest that will march across the country and affect a good portion of it. you can see we've got snow in the upper elevations, rain along the coast, but the big story is going to be the wind. this is a vigorous storm system, along the coast gusts up to 80 mile per hour, seattle could see 50 mile per hour wind gusts, the cascades up to 65 mile per hour wind gusts. we have high wind warnings, wind advisories for downed trees, power lines, damage to homes. this is going to keep marching across. this first system

ways and you see that and a you realize that anything can happen in an instant. >> oh, my board. thank god they are all okay. we will begin this half hour with one of the most decorated american gymnasts of all time, aly raisman is a six time olympic medal winner. now she's adding her name to the growing list of women who claim they were sexually abused by a former u.s.a. gymnastics team doctor. we will talk to alley in just a moment but first her story. abused by a team doctor. first, her story. three-time olympic gold medalist aly raisman makes the incredible look effortless. the captain of the gymnastics team that won back-to-back gold medals the first, with a group dubbed the fierce five in 2012. and again, with the final five in 2016. >> we're very excited. it doesn't really feel real. >> reporter: but now, the 23-year-old gymnastics star is speaking out about alleged sexual abuse at the happeneds of her team's doctor. opening up in h

"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

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

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

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

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

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 abo all right. thanks, guys. and you can see we've got
