a lot of eyes on vice president joe biden today, thomas, as he continues to consider a run of his own. he's in new york. he's going to appear on the "late show" with stephen colbert this evening. a lot of folks will be watching for any clues that he muth give about what he's thinking in terms of a possible run. thomas? >> nbc's kristen welker reporting from columbus. steve kornacki is the host of "up with steve kornacki." let's start with the latest poll numbers. and what it really means for hillary clinton. she ranks third when it comes to to this other question which is prif vat ol about honestly and whether or not she's trustwor y trustworthy. joe biden coming out at 91% with the caveat being he hasn't officially thrown himself into this race. once you do then you can see the numbers go down. how much of a concern is this for the clinton campaign as they're working on that issue? >> it's been a surprise to the clinton campaign. first of all, these numbers you talk about with honesty and trustworthiness is concerning but also surprise how much traction bernie sanders has gotten in t

>> reporter: i've spoken with joe -- pardon me, thomas. imes over the last couple of days. he describes himself and i wrote as a good old country boy who's standing by his wife's side. he said throughout the ordeal or this case that kim has never had any intention of changing her mind, of changing her convictions and he was prepared to wait as long as it took for the case to resolve itself and joked around -- he joked around that he was taking care of the house. she had given him instructions on what bills to pay and proud of his wife, keeping her updated on the people who were gathering outside in her support. i had asked him have you also talked to her about the other side, the people who think she is in the wrong who say that the supreme court has made their decision and time for her to do her job? he hemmed and haued and said she was aware that people disagreed and did not go into detail about the extent to which she was aware. there is a very opposing viewpoint in this case. >> so we're also getting word of ted cruz with a statement on

>> joe biden was not only the thomas jefferson of the crime bill which was signed into law by presidente 1994, but joe wrote that bill. i know joe and i worked with joe personally. i have respect and admiration. he told us in no uncertain terms when we told him we had concerns about this president he stated he would be the voice of law enforcement. well, that voice has been silent, as well. this isn't just an obama problem. this is an administration problem. going up so far as the attorney general holder. he has been nothing more than a puppet for this administration. in all due respect to joe his silence has been a real hindrance. >> now he has been replaced by someone who has made statements on behalf of law enforcement. >> she has. >> i know law enforcement hasn't been satisfied. is this a partisan thing for you? do you dislike president obama for political reasons? >> that's funny you say that, megyn. most labor unions in this country, you have a d at the end of your name they endorse you. we have not had that rhetoric. we have endorsed both sides of the aisle. matter of fact in mas

joe biden who continues to mull a run of his own. he will be marking labor day in the battleground state of pennsylvania. thomas? >> all right. thank you so much. >>> as you mentioned, vice president joe biden remains this political wild card in the democratic race and he will be in pittsburgh to take part in the labor day festivities just days after saying he still determining whether he has the emotional energy for another presidential run. now if so, he's got the support of a large slice of the electorate. our nbc poll finds that among potential democratic voters, biden has a higher favorability rating than either hillary clinton or bernie sanders in iowa and runs close second to sanders in new hampshire. kelly o'donnell is live in pittsburgh for us to day. kelly, where do things stand with the vice president? you have heard anything from his camp about being closer to making a declarative statement? >> no, but i think we can get a sense today of where his fire and passion may be. and we will see from the vice president in his home state he's the boy from scranton that he loves to play that card and to remind people of his

thomas ladies after accusing her of being up pickpocket. we are live in times square. back inside to you. robert: thanks. vice president joe biden says he is still unsure if he will seek the presidency. yesterday it will depend on the emotional energy to run. joe biden said he would not make a third attempt at the white house unless he is able to, quote, devote my whole heart and soul to this endeavor. it would not be appropriate. juliet: republican presidential front runner donald trump is taking the pledge not to run as the third-party candidate. the donald, the trump i like to say, making the announcement moments after meeting with republican national committee chairman yesterday in the city. >> i will be totally pledging my party hobbit bay and the conservative principles for which it stands and we will go out and fight hard and we will wind. we will be in. most importantly we will make our country great again because that is what it is all about. robert: definitive yes we will support bill by the republicans. trump is currently leading the pack over other gop candidates legion by a what he and dr. ben carson are in it

joe biden has and then some. he wrote the crime bill. and clarence thomasreme court and he voted for the bankruptcy bill while his son was working -- hunter was working for the big financial firm. okay, he voted for the hyde amendment. okay, with no exceptions for rape or insist. he voted for the partial birth abortion ban. that hilarious thing he said about president obama about him being clean and bright and articulate, that was appalling. it was nice. so what i'm saying is the reasons that he looks appealing to us are because he looks like a president which is why he's barack obama's vice president. he is a comforting mainstream white dude. which is why he ran with obama. >> sure. i feel you on all that. i don't think you're -- clearly, you're exactly accurate about his legislative past. but part of what i was saying, then that legislative past has sitting over it eight years of being president obama's vice president. in a way that allows him to do a thing that is not clear to me that hillary clinton is prepared to do. >> you're both right. what she ceas

it's a fab even tyra, chrissy and joe zee are coming next week to "good morning america." >>> good morning, i'm eric thomass weekend. bart will shut down transbay service tomorrow through monday for maintenance work. they have hired buss to take riders for free from 19th street station to the temporary terminal. it will also operate shuttles late for those attending the billy joel concert. >>> an update on the friday morning commute. >> things got busy unfortunately. we have a pedestrian fatality in santa rosa. highway 101 at baker avenue we have two lanes closed. the sug alert is in effect until further notice. major backups as you head in the northbound direction. moving over to the south bay, a pickup truck fire sparked this. we have slow traffic along highway 87 up to 101. >> when we come back, meet rolgs it means another neighbor is wgoing to sleep better tonight. because they went to sleep train's ticket to tempur-pedic event. through labor day, save up to $500 on select tempur-pedic sets. plus, get up to four years interest-free financing. sleep risk-free with sleep train's 100-day money back guaran

thomas? >> nbc's gabe gutierrez, recording in more head, kentucky. >>> still to come, vice president joe biden and his new comments about whether he's ready for run in the white house. and then we come back a group of girls who code are growing hope for the future. you don't want to miss it. why do so many people choose aleve? it's the brand more doctors recommend for minor arthritis pain. plus, just two aleve can last all day. you'd need 6 tylenol arthritis to do that. aleve. all day strong. behold, these are two can you spot the difference? the wind farm on the right was created using digital models and real world location-based specs that taught it how to follow the wind. so while the ones on the left are waiting, the ones on the right are pulling power out of thin air. pretty impressive, huh? now, two things that are exactly the same have have never been more different. ge software. get connected. get insights. get optimized. go get help, boy. go get help. go get help! right now! if you're a cat, you ignore people. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insura

thomas. they were going to go back to try to imtpune him. i looked at it like if i were joe biden, to go back and bring up my college career, all of that stuff, who needs it, right? and during the work hearings and the hearings over anita hill and clarence thomas. those would be front and center. the things that took down his campaign for president in 19 88. the whole deal at syracuse with the allegations of plagiarism. stuff gets drudged up in campaigns and joe biden is not in a position to embrace that possibility. whether it will eventually happen or not. >> let's switch gears to bernie sanders. daniel craig likes bernie sanders but the public editor thinks he's not getting a fair shake. do you agree with that? >> he's been getting a lot of publicity and doing well on the trail. run the best campaign of anybody so far if you look at what his assets are and what he was facing, he's been tremendously effective but i think that the argument was that they're not treating sanders as somebody that's a real potential president in the event that he was able to knockoff hillary cl

joe to his fellow officers. he worked with a lot of officers over the years. he made just as many friends in the community. one of those long-time friends joins us now. thomasand i areesh yat yppreciaapprec us in your moment of grief. you've known the lieutenant since you were both in high school, is that right? >> that's correct. >> what kind of guy was he? >> oh, boy. he was just an incredible human being. the one thing that i remember is just being the optimist that he was during every situation. >> in high school, did he know he wanted to be a police officer? >> did he know he did? >> yeah, he did. we discussed it before and i told him my plans of doing it and, you know, boy, i'm tell you what, 30 year that is he put in was almost, you know, went from a kid in high school to a cop almost immediately. >> i mean, to serve on the force for more than 30 years is just an incredible, incredible sacrifice. said that he's more determined than ever to get on and to join the police force in the wake of what happened to joe. >> and that's a credit to joe, the kind of guy that he was. i followed joe on facebook. we talked a lot. joe just had a passion for teaching

and then, thomas, you know, i think one of the more interesting questions is what does president obama do? if joethere's always a possibility that the white house has said that barack obama might decide to endorse someone and a possibility of joe biden not end up running for president that you would have both bill clinton and barack obama campaigning for hillary clinton. >> isn't that the big thing? you and the political team write in first read today that nobody needs biden to decide more than clinton. they need to see him say, yes, i'm in or, actually, i support hillary clinton. >> yeah. you know, joe biden's hamlet, whether he's going to run or not has not been helpful to hillary clinton and certainly you just look at even our own poll that shows that he's ahead of bernie sanders by 15 points without joe biden but the lead over bernie sanders is just 7 with biden in. and so, you know, this wait and see game by joe biden has come at expense of hillary clinton and you are right. they need -- the clinton campaign looking for an answer sooner rather than later. >> thank you. >> thank you. >>> anot
