been joe biden.' all kidding aside, i seek to expose the truth and we should be friends with what is the underground portion of civil society and russia. we should not be silent. part of that is laying out in stark relief what russia is doing, how they have turned corruption into a foreign-policy tool and a weapon that is being used in extremely well in western europe and other parts of the world. it is a matter of us speaking up and speaking the truth. we do not have to make any of this up. article -- this is where you jump in. >> it will be the last time you do that. [laughter] >> in the article, "washington needs to spell out clear consequences for interfering with a u.s. democratic process or tampering with critical u.s. infrastructure." what should we be doing? not in terms of protecting our infrastructure or voting machines, but what should we be doing? should there be and what should it look like in terms of our retaliatory dimension to u.s. policy? and what is the were to happen again. >> my s

vice president biden,. be more specific there is bipartisan legislation from senators right now that would put in place engines that would snap in place on russia, if in the future a determination is made up for election -- election manipulation happened. these are sweeping in the financial sector. do you think this is an appropriate step and that consequences have been thought through? mr. biden: i think it is appropriate. i'm sure there are consequences that could flow that we did not anticipate. i do not believe, the failure doing that equals the failure to take the steps in terms of our interests. i would be supporting that legislation. >> right here in the front? >> thanks. mr. biden: i will try to be as short as i can. >> pleasure to see you, vice president biden. i would argue that russia's attitude toward the united states change not because of nato expansion but because of the iraq invasion. i wonder if you agree? the middle east is the one area russia seems to be doing well. it has excellent relat

biden: i will try to be as short as i can. >> pleasure to see you, vice president biden. i would argue that russia's attitude toward the united states change not because of nato expansion but because of the iraq invasion. i wonder if you agree? the middle east is the one area russia seems to be doing well. it has excellent relations with all parties in the region, unlike the united states. i would like your device on how we deal with russia in the middle east, particularly syria? war, butve the 2003 you also had libya. russia was bitterly presented, they thought it was a bait and switch. they thought they were signing onto something more limited, and obviously it grew beyond that. looking back, those 2 cases, iraq and libya. and if you want to get into the question how do we deal with russia and the middle east now? mr. biden: i will try to be brief. totally legitimate. there will be a lot written about libya and why some one of us thought it was a tragic mistake, the policy we understood. i'm serious. it is now public. i don't think that is the total cause but it is adde

eric holder, joe biden were going. big wigs.en joe biden showed up after escorting doug jones to getting sworn in on the senate floor, it was like, oh. everybody was so excited. the energy was palpable. we're talking dozens of people on hand and they were there for a long time in this kennedy caucus room. right off one of if senate office buildings. where a lot of reporters do their live shots with the marble background. i have to tell you, he didn't miss a beat. he likes to talk. he's always liked to talk. i've covered him a long time. he had lunch with. >> he still has his popularity. >> he's very, very popular. he's quick on -- he still chats with reporters. and i don't know. he seemed like he had a lot of energy. when he went into the. >> he said he can take howard dean. >> physically. >> but can he take cory booker. and quite frankly. joe biden has a lot of appeal to some republicans and democrats. if you look at something interesting over the past few months, people like john mccain. senior republican senator. somebody who

why are we listening to joe biden in the first place? >> geraldo: isn't it not about biden?s about north korea. as i said yesterday, it's about the deeds, not the words and what happens. president trump agreed to suspend the joint military exercises with south korea, there by lowering or conceding something to north korea, making it more likely that the north korea south korea reproach making more likely the joint delegations for the lipids. there is real progress. they have to do is understand new yorkers are different. very flamboyant nature. there's an aspect of him in terms of the charismatic reality show background he has and promoting big business and creating big business. there's an aspect of him that's a lot of flash but when it comes to the bang, you have to look at his policy. in this case, it's traditional, positive, it has succeeded apparently. i think you've got to give the president a break. >> greg: joe biden is the new blood of the democratic party. i'm excited about that. >> geraldo: he liked that music you chose. >> greg: he is a big fan. controversy over

>> this is an interesting dynamic here, but biden -- >> the infighting is already starting.ard dean was talking about this during the dnc chair race. he backed one of the younger candidates for that. i think democrats are anxious already for 2020 and reasonably so, they have to get through the midterms and an anti-trump strategy certainly works in the midterms because it will be a referendum on the president but in 2020 it's a different kind of bag. it's more of a vision and there are a lot -- i think democrats will have this problem of a lot of people interested in this race and a lot of people in this field. and biden, i think, there is -- he's inserting himself into these debates and he's making himself a presence and others are angling as well. >> biden against trump, if that's what it was, is that a strong or weak candidate for the democrats? >> i think it's a very strong candidate for president trump because what does vice president biden represent? he was the vice president for president obama whose -- who president trump is reversing in so many ways and proving, in f

echoed this week by joe biden. vice president joe biden. both saying they believe the u.s. is closer to nuclear war with north korea. do you agree? >> it's a dangerous situation. it's not something we want. we have said that multiple times. the president has said it. every member of the administration has said it. but the reality is, this is a very dangerous situation. >> did the president make it worse with the tweet about the nuclear button? here's what former vice president joe biden said. >> when we engage in activities like let's compare the button. they all, for different reasons and different motivations, lose confidence in us. they wonder, do we know what the hell we're doing? >> is he right that it hurts our credibility with our allies? >> they don't wonder what the hell we're doing. it's very clear that we do. we're not going to let them go and advertise the fact that they have a button on the desk that they can destroy america. we want to remind them, we can destroy you, too. so be very cautious and careful with your words and what you do. i know it make people n

former vice president joe biden, thank you very much for joining us. the book, "promise me dad: my year of hope, hardship and purpose." it came out a short time ago. it had to be hard to write, opening up about the loss of your son. has it been cathartic? >> it wasn't initially. it was very hard to write. i wrote it for two reasons, selfish reasons. the first one was -- it's going to sound strange -- i wanted my grandchildren, my great grandchildren, all the progeny to know what an incredible guy and document what an incredible guy bo was. i also selfishly wanted people to know what a remarkable man he was. >> woodruff: you wrote throughout the book about how he bucked you up and kept you strong. >> he did. >> woodruff: has losing him changed you in? >> no, because i have my son hunter, and we were a team, and sounds strange, judy, but i think most people who have known me all these years know my sons helped raise me. they were in an accident and almost lost their mother and sister. they were, you're okay, dad. hunter walks over and gives me a kiss and

when he was asked about biden admitted he had not contacted him to apologize.> i believe anita hill. i voted against clarence thomas when she decided she was willing to come forward. what i feel badly about is the inability to be able to silence the republican critics on the committee. >> have you contacted anita hill? >> no, i haven't. >> have you plan to? >> i'm always happy to see her but i wish i could've protected her from the attacks. >> marie: biden was the chair of the senate judiciary committee at the time and said he regrets not being able to protect hill's questions are now being asked setting up a 2020 presidential run. someone to come to you on this first. might throw up right back in your lap. it's a broader question. we talked on the couch about things of come out this year. you've heard about new allegations. this is something that was an allegation at the time. what responsibility going to sing to revisit these situations they been involved in, this was 20 years ago. >> sandra: it depends on this case what the incentive is. my question to you i

i think with joe biden, his time has come and gone.e should've done the last go around and that was the opportune time. he used to be the guy he was the middle of america and the working class but i think that time has gone and i think president trump has honestly taken that message on zone, and people it resonates with people. i don't see that changing much at all even with joe biden. >> dana: if the economy continues, it's fully recovered at this point, you're starting to see the bonuses being paid out after the announcement of tax reform and of jobs to start coming back, what is left for the democrats to argue about? >> we can argue about anything. just give us a moment. there are a lot more issues out there. we will talk about the economy and how her plan would have been better for the economy, how we want to build on this excess is that we've seen. something that president obama always talked about with health care. we need to fix that. we need a bipartisan fix. maybe something else. it's also the question of when the g.o.p. tax r

. >> joe biden. bernie sanders. elizabeth warren. cory booker. the list is very long of the people who potentially could run in 2020. >> reporter: at the north berkeley bart station, reactions were mixed. >> she's come from the lower class and raised herself up and really made a difference with her own hard work and i think that's an important value. >> i say go for it. she's a woman. she's an african-american woman. i think should make a wonderful president. >> policy is more important than personality. >> the idea that sounds good but she doesn't have any political experience and i think people providing a lot of the dissatisfaction with the current president. i think many people will go for whatever looks different and better. >> oprah's golden globe speech gave weight watchers investors something to cheer about. the company's stock soared. it jumped 13% because of the speculation about a possible 2020 whitehouse one oprah is a board member, shareholder and endorser of weight watchers. >>> she uses weight watchers and it's working. she looks f

we've seen bernie sanders of vermont, joe biden.r elizabeth warren of massachusetts and senator cory booker of new jersey. those are the democrats. now you have governor john kasich of ohio. senator ben sasse of nebraska and senator jeff flake of arizona all of whom are republicans and the panel is back. okay. another way you get your way on the list to run for president, say you're not going toç run. take a look. >> where's your mind about that right now? are you 50/50? 80/20? where do you stand? are you likely to run? >> no. this is not what i'm doing. >> other people make lists and i'm not running for president. >> sure. i just might. >> that's not on my radar screen. that's a long way off. >> i don't know what i'm going to do tomorrow. >> if a year from now if they're ready and no one has moved in that i think that can do it then i may very will. >> the former vice president because he decided to say, hey, i'm sending a message to national donors, i want in. >> it was probably joe biden. the concern for democrats has to be that

picking up on joe biden's words matter, he's right the dialogue matters. jaw, jaw, is better than war, war, it will make dialogue easier and may well prevent misunderstandings. i use that world war ii phrase overnight. prime minister shinzo abe says the security situation facing japan is the most dangerous since world war ii. he says it's because of north korea's provocations. he is promising to bolster japan's defenses and to work with the u.s. and south korea and so on. the fact of the open hotline, the two slides talk to each other at 9:00 and 4:00 every day. it's nothing of substance. it's not long ago, south korean officials were using a bullhorn, a megaphone to shoot across the border. a hotline is added a vans the words, all very nice. we'll connect with a sincere attitude, obviously, that's very different than the usual tone from pyongyang accusing the south of being a regime, president moon, obviously, he wants dialogue, he doesn't want a preemptive strike. he dislikes the tweets from donald trump. for him, this is a huge break through. one other

joe biden had the highest favorability at 76 percent. oprah had 67 percent.too bad there. >> we should point out oprah has not talked about running. joe biden at this point has not said if he's running and bernie sanders says he's in already. >> he seems like he's in. >> it will be interesting i think to see who the democrats put up to run against president trump. >> right. >> it will also be interesting to see if the republicans put up president trump. >> yeah. >> former president barack obama is set to appear on david letterman's brand new netflix show my next guest needs no introduction. >> we have a sneak peek including the former president's thoughts on his so-called dad moves. >> i have dad moves. >> yeah. >> and i think the key is -- is what we call staying in the pocket. >> sure. [laughter] >> right. >> staying in the pocket. >> you got to stay in the pocket . >> [laughter] >> because i think everybody here knows dads who get out of the pocket. [laughter] >>> and they're trying stuff that they can't really pull off. >> yeah, yeah. [laughter] >>> and y

>> biden will do that. i think that's biden. >> look -- >> i think mcauliffe could do that.e was going to deck him the other night. that was impressive. >> biden has, i think, a pretty terrific story. it's a very compelling story. and he's from scranton. always connected well to the blue-collar votes, but he also has a lot of obama support too. >> yeah. >> i think it could -- >> '18, what's your bet on '18, mr. republican? >> i think we have a good chance of running -- keeping our majorities if we can run on the issues, but the president needs us to give us the ability. >> all you have to do is get the average pickup, 32 seats, and they get the house back. anyway, the roundtable is sticking with us. up next, they're going to teach me something i didn't know. you're watching "hardball." if this was a real emergency, i'd be freaking out. but thanks to cigna, we can do more than just look heroic. we can help save lives by getting you to a real doctor for a check-up. nurse, this thing's defective. please don't touch that. we are the tv doctors of america. together with cigna rem
