nobody can pin down joe biden about what he's thinking about 2016. land fund gala, biden received an invitation to hit the golf course with the vice president saying, "if you want to keep your handicap in golf, don't run for president." the vice president making light about a campaign hurting his golf game. but a 2016 run will take more than hinting and joking. any democrat who wants to have a shot at pulling ahead of hillary clinton i think is going to have to run an unconventional campaign. forget what the calendar says. my advice -- start early, get aggressive, and get with those house members. winning the house is what it's all about. the democrats will back whoever can bring results to the base. if vice president joe biden is serious about a run, he's going to have to go out and work events early on. he will commit himself to winning the house. if he does that because i can tell you democrats are off across this country -- they know the obstruction, and they know exactly what it's going to take to win the house back. and i think a big key for the

. >> i want to put on the record i'm a great admirer of joe biden. if hillary were not in the race, if he ran he could beat any of these republicans that are throwing their hats in the ring. they're all terrible. so more power to joe biden. however he can't run against her. he can't. the thing that hillary has is this sense of history and what the democrats have -- let's get back to 2014 because we're worried about 2014. but what they have in 2016 is an incredible demographic advantage that they can't squander. and hillary clinton's sense of history, her poll with woman, her consolidating the women's vote entirely on the democrat side, those are things that are going to be very powerful. the only way that joe biden could run against hillary would be to really run against hillary and really be the anti-hillary. that would actually require him running against barack obama. for him to really be -- you know, there's a line that glen thrush was really interesting, very well reported. there's a line in there where he's pondering maybe he would be populous

but joe biden isn't dick chaney.d themselves that joe biden a two-time vice president untainted by scandal serving a president that's deeply popular within their party, they have to remind themselves that joe biden might be interested many being president himself. this extends to biden's own circle 0 friends and allies. the profile of the skrpt this yeek, politico's glen thrush reported that every one of the dozen friends i interviewed predicted he wouldn't run for president in 2016. we all know why this is of course. it's because everyone figures hillary clinton is going to run and nobody believes that biden will challenge her in a primary. this has nothing to do with whatever personal friendship exists between the two of them or any sense on biden's part that maybe hill vi a better fit for the job than he is. but it does have everything to do with some truly shocking numbers np the history of modern presidential politics, some truly understand precedented numbers. let's go back to 1986. this is the midway point of

barack kids me, he said, joe biden, i'm learning to speak without a teleprompter. joe is learning to speak with one. seeing all of you i really mean it. the reason i'm here and barack wanted me to be here is to thank you. thank you so, so much for what you have done. not for us, but for the american people. so many millions of people, vulnerable. so many millions of people knowing what they need and having no access to get it. first off, the president and i think you provided an incredible service that you provide to this contry. nothing to do with the a.c.a. just what you have been doing. it's an incredible service you have been providing. you have more than 1,200 community health centers, and 9,000 sites. all 50 states. here's what i want you to think about. think about what those cities, what those communities, what those neighborhoods would be like if you hadn't been around. i mean it. think of how fundamentally the lives of those communities would be changed without you. those community centers you run, 150,000 hardworking men and with t. feels like that all of

this week's radio address was delivered by vice president joe biden. he urged congress to raise the minimum wage. congresswoman jackie walorski from indiana gave the republican address spirit she called on the president to support the veterans accountability legislation. >> ladies and gentlemen, i'm joe biden. i'm filling in for president obama, who is abroad. i want to talk to you today about the minimum wage and the overwhelming need to raise the minimum wage. there's no reason in the world why an american working 40 hours a week has to live in poverty. but right now a worker earning the federal minimum wage makes about $14,500 a year. and you all know that's incredibly hard for an individual to live on, let alone raise a family on. but if we raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, that same worker will be making $20,200 a year -- and with existing tax credits would earn enough to bring that family or a family of four out of poverty. but there's a lot of good reasons why raising the minimum wage makes sense. not only would it put more hard-earned m

clinton decides not to run that joe biden steps right in as number one.country looking for something different. i think senator gillibrand out of new york has done a phenomenal job as a senator and i think that there is room for her to do what barack obama did in 2016, come from nowhere. she has taken a huge leadership role in talking about military sexual assault and other issues. >> yeah, i don't think those are contradictory. i agree with both of you. i agree that a lot of people who know joe biden would support him up front but i believe gillibrand is ready to go. absolutely ready to go. >> she is, but, chris, she won't get the vice presidential one on one which will be a problem. there will be four or five candidates in there. the vice president would have a tremendous advantage. i agree with michelle, he has the burden of carrying some of the obama biden policies but in a multicandidate field it would be tough to beat him. i think amy klobuchar would run and that dilutes kerstin ji gillibrand's base. he has a building advantage. >> i think we're a r

he doesn't stand up like joe biden. everyone seems to agree. it's a crime that women earn less than men and government must do something. amy holmes is a student of s economics. you must agree that government needs to fix this wage gap.gap. >> indeed, john. i d don't. and as a matter of fact, that 70 cents number is in and of itself misleading. if you look at the number and you control for an apples to apples comparison, harvard economist claudia and othersha found that wage gap shrinks tremendously. >> and what upset me is the president knows this and even his own department of labor says after controlling for occupation, experience, other choices, women earn 95% as muchh as men do. >> correct. so the reason why 70 cents is incorrect, that it's false, is it's comparing all full-timere women to all full-time men,e regardless of occupation, and even the term, full time, is m misleading. to a 35-hourers workweek and as it turns out, men work longer hours than women and so they tend to chalk up aa. higher wage. >> my understanding is that we n men

if you can't reach out to millennials, throw joe biden in there. you have to be worried about this. they're worried. the 7 million number is dubious. the composition of the people involved. so far we've been hearing about 25% millennials. should be at least 40%. how many people have paid? maybe 80% according to the insurance industry. how many people that didn't have insurance now have insurance? last time i heard it was all speculation, 400,000 out of millions and millions. a lot of things to be worried about. >> are they smart to go on shows like rachael ray, julie? during this interview, rachael ray teared up. >> she was like -- well, apparently her brother has some sort of an illness and he was able to get coverage through obamacare. so it made her sad. i'm happy for her brother, that he was able to do that. actually, rand came out with a study over the weekend that essentially showed that 10 million people who previously didn't have health care will now have health care thanks to obamacare. that's 10 million people. those are people you can't easily disqualify. with you talk ab

interesting to drill on vice president joe biden, who is still in europe. he says the trip is about reassuring the united states allies. he went to visit nato member countries -- poland on one side, lithuania on the other -- and meeting with leaders of baltic countries. this is no coincidence. there was a lot of talk about military exercises in those countries, although no mention, by the way, if any military assistance directly to ukraine. that for now is completely out of the question. but many mansions from joe biden, the vice president, of nato and article five of the nato treaty, meaning that any country that is attacked, any nato member country that is attacked, will get the support of all nato countries. ukraine is not a nato country, but other countries are worried -- the likes of poland and lithuania, for example. the white house calls the move by russia a threat to international peace, and it still says that there will be further sanctions. but again, nothing announced as a direct consequence. russia says there will be consequences to any further

look, i know how many of you actually listen to joe biden talk, but the soul of brevity is not. everybody gets five minutes when you testify. the guy asked a question and five minutes ask a question and answer. biden would talk for five minutes, for the record, have you thought about what i just said, so when it got to the event i was receptive ear, i know you're excited to engage in the subject, i will try to be brief but i understand your that joe biden twice so the bar is not very high. when president obama took the widest and anybody that would be honest with the event no idea what kind of president foreign policy president he was going to be because he had no record in foreign policy. and if you look at his statement versus john mccain statement they were almost identical. you couldn't parse anything. once he entered the white house we didn't start out attacking the president because look we are a think tank. the heritage foundation is a nonpartisan think tank and it's our job to observe and comment, not to attack. so we spent a year really studying how the president exercis

thank you. >> joe biden is in war saw today condemning russia and putin for what biden called a land grab. the former annexation of crimea. russia will see additional sanctions if it continues down the current path but putin is hardly backing down. joining me now from moscow is jim maceda. putin's show of force and strength today was really apparent, first in the kremlin itself and then red square, to the multitudes. instead of backing down, he's doubling down. jim? >> reporter: that's right, andrea, he is definitely doubling down and it was a vintage vladimir putin performance, full of sound and fury and fanfare and history, all by the way from putin's point of view which many officials in the west which biden would called flawed and deep in the cold war and in any case great nflourish, he explained it's 60 years as a ukrainian territory and it was time for crimea to be unified with russia again because that's what the people's will was. at his most emotional putin tore into the west for cheating, betraying russia over the years, allowing nato to expand to russia's very borders and

the battle royal will be between joe biden and hillary clinton. is making it clear he's not going to wait for hillary clinton to make that decision. she may take until the end of the year, but biden is running strong now. as you watch the two of them start to jockey for top democratic donors, that's going to be exciting to watch. also take a little bit of point with zerlina's point about jeb bush. i disagree about the grassroots strength behind his candidacy. jeb bush is being dragged into this race by the grassroots. he's someone who's popular. he's not his brother, he's not his dad. he's got a different base of support. you look back to people trying to recruit him in, it's not your traditional republican establishment supporters, it really is grassroots leadership. >> chris, zerlina, good to have both of you here. we'll have this conversation again. thank you so much. >> thanks. >>> today's tweet of the day comes from the first lady's twitter handle. thai chi is a wonderful form of physical activity and i loved giving it a try. does that make a

that's what joe biden is saying today.f you're not in nato, you may face the fact that we may sanction individuals around putin, we may try to ratchet up the pressure, but those states could be in trouble. because if you're not willing to go beyond that level and the president just made it very clear he's not, you're using other sort of browbeating mechanisms and potentially financial mechanisms, but you're not really within the alliance, putin's game may be to just continue to embarrass the west and try to make us look impotent. and that's disastrous because there's lots of opportunity for mistake. >> but david, on that point, one argument would be that an inept or at least overly assertive rhetorical u.s. policy has made us a hand maiden in that embarrassment. that if you want to have a realist scrocroft or kissinger approach is say, here is my lines. and that area used to be yours, part of your country. chen khrushchev gave it back. there's been some complexity there, but this is not exactly undisputed turf. we should h

vice president joe biden. there you can see lithian's president. also is the latvian president.n why this is important is these are two of the three baltic states which used to be part of the soviet union. now they're members of the european union, members of nato and are deeply concerned about what they've seen in ukraine, particularly as all of these countries have significant russian populations, ethnic russian populations. we're now about to see the latvian president on the left there, we might hear from joe biden shortly. let's just hear quickly what the latvian president is saying. >> secondly, i would like to appreciate vice president joe biden to the baltic states. through for fulfilling your promise to come to us. it's very, very important in current stage. >> the important political symbol here is the fact that a u.s. vice president is there in the baltic states with concern there about russian ambitions given that president putin has made clear that he has long-term ideas of somehow reassembling the soviet union. going on at the moment in the baltics, u.s. voopt there

joe biden tipping his hat on the white house's plan to give the illegals a free pass or not push theme're remembering his boss saying the same thing. remember, you have a family where some people are citizens are legally here and others that are not documented, the immigration people will never get that information. you're grinning. jacob tweets the following, democrats wants an easy pass to get easy votes and the vice president shows he doesn't know the law or constitution and republicans will quite likely help them. you know you're right about that. david want what do you think about this? >> most politicians hide the truth. these people just have forgotten where they have put it. they have forgotten where they put it because at the same time that he said, joe biden is saying that these people are already u.s. citizens, they're deporting 400, over 400,000 illegal immigrants every year. they want it both ways. on the one hand they want to please future voters, the immigs who will vote for them and on the other hand florida they're trying to deport 400,000. it's like every issue deal.
