why not joe biden? caller: i love joe biden.on't misunderstand it, but you can't have two presidents. we feel like we let him down. mark in new york, independent line. caller: i don't have a problem with biden. hillary, billver clinton's presidency was a disaster. host: why not biden in more than just comparing it to the clinton presidency? if hillary is anything --e bill clinton in the past bombs iraq continuously, went to war against yugoslavia, got rid of glass-steagall, the list goes on and on. he did a lot of things that led to the recession we had. it goes back to regular and all ronaldngs they did -- to reagan and all the things they did. what do you support in joe biden? caller: i just prefer her over hillary. i don't really like him. i would prefer bernie sanders or ralph nader. on the republican mine. caller: good morning, i think you should have another line. pendantsd have the that she should have dependence ts,you should have dependen because that is what this country is running into. you heard the last caller talki

and what joe biden is doing is very smart.all that to be the front-runner, and a strong front-runner, if hillary clinton decides not to run, which i still think is a distinct possibility. >> right. >> because joe biden -- if hillary bows out, he is not going get it handed to him. i think you'll see a number of other people contest. so joe biden is building for that eventuality if it occurs. he wants to step in and assume the front-runner's role right away. and he is doing exactly what he should be doing. and he said the best thing he can do is be a good vice president, and that's right. he is exactly right. >> you're nodding, nia-malika. you saying joe biden is running to be number one if, in fact, former secretary clinton does not run? >> i think that's exactly right. the people i talked to in his circle say exactly that. if all else fails and hillary clinton does not run, then he would be presumably the front-runner. now, if we look historically, vice presidents haven't done a very -- don't have a very good track record. i t

and joe biden is saying hey, wait a minute, clintons. where are we in this narrative? where is the obama/biden administration in this narrative? and i think it's gotten under his skin. >> let me go to mark halperin on this. you heard what i said. why is biden talking about running against hillary? >> well, first of all because barbara walters can get anybody to say anything. that's the gift that she has had. look, the reality is he wants to be relevant for the next three years. he knows it's possible she won't run. he also -- i think this is less about politics than psychology. the guy looks at his resume as vice president, as chairman of foreign relations, as chairman of judiciary. he looks at his ability to campaign, which he thinks in his own mind is comparable to bill clinton's and i think he believes superior to hillary clinton's. and he looks at a democratic party that is pretty loyal to this administration, as howard suggested. so i think psychologically, he wants to say that he'll do this. he wants to be prepared to do it. he wants to be the leading choice if sh

joe biden is now saying it's joe biden and other people i think. that's what i heard from that interview. >> reporter: yeah. no, i think that's right. look, i spent some time recently in iowa and new hampshire. clinton's name comes up more than anybody else's. bidens comes up second. you hear a lot of people talking about the economy, the economy, the economy. you don't hear a lot about foreign policy these days. that's still biden's strike zone. that's what he likes talking about. he did also mention he likes sticking up for the gts guy. that populous message is really going to be an asset for him. recall in 2010, joe biden and bill clinton could go into part es of the country like youngs town ohio where the president wasn't so popular, but joe biden could talk to those white working class voters. he does have a repore with labor, with independent voters. if he starts to stick to that message, i think that's going to be a more potent one for him. >> if there's a guy who's going to say no to the party, would be joe. and this was my only little cons

politically speaking as a conservative and republican, praying for joe biden. would be a disaster for democrats. >> your turn. >> am i interrupting? i'm sorry. i'm sorry. >> what about hillary clinton possibly making commercials already about what gates said about biden? that's the way it works. >> there's not going to be a contest on the right between the tea party republicans and the mainstream republican who can't stand each other? this is divide and conquer. you people on the right, divide and conquer, hillary after joe, joe after hillary, they are going to beat each other, against each other. >> mike acknowledged that's -- >> that's what's going to happen. >> hillary, she's got to try to run from benghazi. that will be tough. >> benghazi, bring up benghazi every minute of every day. >> biden has to run from the fact he didn't want to go after osama bin laden that night. >> where does house speaker nancy pelosi get into all this. >> she's saying president obama's low approval ratings won't drag down democrats up for re-election. i thought we were going to h

what did you get that you felt gave you a better sense of where his head is headed, joe biden? >> i just think that biden loves what he is doing. i don't think that joe biden can conceive of a world in which he is not in the middle of things. bruce reed, his former chief of staff said to me, and i think this is a great way to put this. this isn't as much about politics, it's about his an appreciations politically. but for him, this is a guy who doesn't want the ride to end. he thinks he has something to contribute and he just doesn't want to it to stop. and the problem with that is hillary clinton is the person standing in the way between the end of the ride and joe biden gets to continue on. >> does he get it, why people don't think of him as a natural next president, why there is this failure of people to leap oh, yeah, it's your turn. >> absolutely. when you a conversation with him, and both of you probably experienced this, biden goes on and on and on. he has a real consciousness of his own weaknesses. he looks around at his aides sometimes when you're talking to him and alm

gates was criticizing joe biden.enator,en he was a seemed to buy in as early as 1998, to the notion that saddam hussein did have weapons of mass destruction and that some sort of forcible regime change -- in other words, the united states going in militarily and overthrowing him -- was an acceptable outcome. when scott ritter testified that, maybe the facts was't so cut and dry, biden very condescending towards him and called him scotty boy. gates'shave to say, criticism is somewhat off the mark. a blind hog eventually finds an acorn. , aftereventually learn several years of the iraq war which he voted for, he started to rethink things. mr. biden, when he became vice ho inent, he was not gung favor of escalating in afghanistan. he wanted other solutions than that. resistance, bob gates says that joe biden has been long on every single foreign policy issue. clip, if mr.that gates is saying he didn't know how he would have advocated on iraq, i think all the necessary information is in. if he is still being ambiguous on

i think both left and right, everybody is kind of used to joe biden saying what joe biden feels withoutter, which may not be good for a presidential run. >> there you have it. sometimes bidenisms turn out to be totally inaccurate. right? the other day on theview he said 2,000 jobs lost as a result of obamacare. turns out it's 2.3 million. there is a slight difference there. >> there is. he never lets facts get in the way. say it ain't so, joe. you shake your head every time he makes a gaffe. that's why you don't see as much of the vice president today. i don't think he can afford to get out there ahead of the administration and be effective. >> now we're seeing him. he did at least three national television shows. this is an obvious push, is it not, brad? isn't it because he wants to run for president? what's the reasoning? >> that's exactly right. they are trying to give him more exposure but what expense? every time out there and give him something, remember the things he said that were wrong or gaffes. i don't think the president can have him too far out there if he continues to do i

and they went to this retreat and the people with joe biden came out saying this. you wrote this. e others at the biden retreat came away feeling that clinton would ultimately decide not to run. but insiders telling you they believe biden -- that hillary clinton would decide not to run. do they really feel that way or is it wishful thinking? >> since i've wrote that, i got a couple of e-mails asking me if there was a lot of smoke in that room and what kind of smoke that might have been. but i really do think there is a sense that both biden and his team have. this comes from biden's personal interactions with then secretary of state clinton. those two had a standing breakfast every tuesday in biden and sources close to biden told me that hillary often talked about this white marble prism of the white house and how reluctant she was to go through the same kind of ordeal that she endured in 2008. it's the same kind of thing that ana quickly picked up in hillary's performance down there in florida. look, this is going to be a really tough decision for clinton. i don't think she's made

joe biden says he's raring to go in 2014. are they the answer? let's look at just one question.hat about secretary clinton? remember, in 2008 look at the states. these are the 11 states again. if it's light blue, hillary clinton carried it in the 2008 primaries. a darker blue, that's the president. so essentially a split decision. president obama carried 6 of those 11 states, hillary clinton carried 5. the big question now is, is she welcome on the campaign trail? will she have a big role? let's put that question, amy, bill clinton's welcome. is hillary clinton an asset or a liability in a year where her former boss, her most recent boss, barack obama, is considered by many democrats to be toxic? >> so can i turn that question around a little bit? >> be my guest. >> which is does hillary clinton want to go on the trail in 2014? and so i don't know if you're an individual candidate, you're very concerned about being tied to washington and you want an outsider coming and campaigning for you so hillary clinton could bring some liabilities but she still has a great deal of star powe

joe biden.compelling reason not to vote for the opposite of his opponent. >> i guess you could say that was -- well, it wasn't unamusing. >>> next up, the genie is out of the bottle when it comes to pot and politicians these days. the issue has been more or less moot since bill clinton notoriously said he didn't inhale way back in '92. senator marco rubio became the latest politician to confront that famous question now that florida is considering a referendum on medical marijuana. and while his answer seems reasonable and well thought out, it is still a dodge. here he was at a q&a at an event yesterday in miami. >> young voters have asked me and they're curious to know, have you ever smoked marijuana? >> you know why i never answer that question? i'll tell you why i never answer that question. if i tell you i haven't, you won't believe me. if i tell you i did, kids will look up to me and say i can smoke, because look how he made it. he did all right. i can do it too. >> pretty smart but it wasn

vice president joe biden trying to put a positive spin on the latest report that obamacare will leadloss of millions of jobs. here's what he said. quote, well, you've got a whole baby boomer generation that were hanging on to jobs, not moving because either they were tied down because their mortgage was under water or they couldn't leave because they had health care. this frees people up, and there's zero evidence that this is costing people jobs now. so howie a lot of people in conjunction with looking at france and the united states and now obamacare and the cbo report that came out, and now you have joe biden saying zero evidence it's costing jobs. i think some people are seeing similarities to a socialist nation in the sense that, are we now bringing about another welfare kind of state with people choosing to stay at home instead of going to work? >> it's better than the comparisons about a year ago to the u.s. becoming more like greece and threatening to default. but this joe biden interview with "time" magazine is as much about preserving at least the appearance that he could r

had given this great speech at the denver convention she goes back to her holding room and runs joe biden and he drops to his knees and he praises her his hands are in the air and that kind of speaks to their relationship i think you know there are two people who feel very fondly toward one another they have breakfast from time to time when they're both in town so i think if they did run against each other in a democratic primary it would be a pretty interesting race wouldn't be logical john that if she wins he'd be her second terror state. i think there's a reasonably good chance of that larry i think joe biden obviously wants to remain involved i think you know when you talk to biden people around washington he's keeping his options open they insist that he will make his decision about running for president independent of what hillary clinton does because certainly see a case where she wants him to stick around and work in a cabinet with her if she were president of the united states so i certainly wouldn't rule that out amy in the presidential race in two thousand and sixteen what role

>> joe biden has served this country for over 40 years.when he says he is uninterested in seeking the presidency, it shouldn't be a no-brainer to refuse to disbelieve him. by the way joe not undermining the economy. he would owe reversing all efforts to negate unemployment. on the record coming out not blocking antiprogressive legislation that doesn't not destabilize. joe biden, no compelling not to vote for the opposite of his opponent. i'm joe biden and do not fully and especially not partially endorse this message.

obviously they were heavily involved in promoting in both of them campaigned for him amy what is joe biden going to do do you think. well i think he's definitely keeping his options open we talk a lot about the relationship the biden clinton relationship in the book and one in one scene we have the vice president or senator biden at the time you know hillary clinton had given this great speech at the denver convention she goes back to her holding room and runs joe biden and he drops to his knees and he praises her his hands are in the air and that kind of speaks to their relationship i think you know there are two people who feel very fondly toward one another they have breakfast from time to time when they're both in town so i think if they did run against each other in a democratic primary it would be a pretty interesting race wouldn't it be logical john that if she wins he be her secretary of state. i think there's a reasonably good chance of that larry i think joe biden obviously wants to remain involved as a you know when you talk to biden people around washington he's keeping his opt

your thoughts on running -- going against joe biden? >> well, it sounds like he's got one vote. he's convinced himself he would be a good president. but i don't know. there's probabl some skepticism among others about that. i think he's a nice guy but only time would tell, you know, whether or not he has anything new to offer. i mean, his administration has presided over 20 million people being without work, a really language wishing economy, lots of people losing their health insurance. so i would say he's got a lot of explaining to do if he would seek the presidency. >> sure. also, hillary clinton this week, i believe she told someone she hasn't driven a car in nearly two decades, almost 20 years. your thoughts on a pential president or at least someone who wants to be president who hasn't gotten behind the wheel of a car in 20 years. >> you know, i think you're going to have a little bit of trouble relating to america's middle class if you've been riding around in a limousine for 20 years. so when i hop in my gmc truck and go to the grocery store and buy them or scan them mys

i'm sure this is news to joe biden, who's a professor, right? te reality? crazy. he makes it out like all single women are just, like, stuck in some dead-end job. you know, i'm a deadbeat. i'm just here for my health care. it's ridiculous. a lot of single women are working out of necessity. >> crystal wright being really straight with us there. we also got some e-mails. the direct implication is this, you're too dumb to take care of yourself. you can't make money as a woman anyway. >> dan says this. eric, you can read it. >> what joe is saying to single women with children, quit your job, stay home, let the rest of us subsidize the health care for your kids and go back to work when you feel like it. how do i get off this ride? >> it's unsustainable. chuck from north carolina says, biden is giving women the 1950s option to become homemakers again and leave jobs to men. how progressive. >> look, i don't think there's anything wrong with staying home. i think what's happening here, though, is you're basically saying, come out of this dependent situa

vice president joe biden made some income inequality statements and made up the central argument of his speech at final day of the united auto works annual conference in washington. after working the room with a few biden moments, the vice president made a passionate plea on behalf of human rights. >> you guys are the only guys keeping the barbarians at the gate. this is a concerted, full-throated, well organized, well financed long-term effort waging a war on labor's house because they know -- they know not all business, these guys on the right, they know without you there they call every shot. i never thought i would be back re-fighting after all this time in my career the wave of right to worke efforts. the right to pay you a lower wage. the right to make sure you don't have a say in your working conditions. it's not a right to work. it's a right for them to eliminate your right to have a say in your work. >> woody allen's son is coming to his defense amid renewed allegations the actor and director sexually assaulted his adopted daughter. moses farrow, the adopted son of mia and alle

, alex. >> come on, karen finney and i were listening to him, we love joe biden. >> we all love joe. karen finney joins me right now. fifth time since last year the minority democrats have helped john boehner pass a bill. how significant is that, how does this get played into the election? >> very significant. clearly significant in terms of the republican caucus in terms of the politics in the caucus and john boehner's tenure as speaker of the house, obviously, there were plenty of republicans who were not happy about how that went down. at the same time, you have those establishment republicans who recognize they couldn't afford to go through another shutdown, another drama. that does give, though, democrats the opportunity to sort of take that off the table. i think that's why they are coming out bold with this discharge position concept on the minimum wage. i think it's also why they are going to push very hard on these women's issues, because they need to get women voters, particularly if you look at the virginia race where terry mcauliffe won, women made the difference. i'll sa
