mrs. clinton and joe biden are having breakfast in the morning. what do you make of that, clarence?d love to be a fly on the wall there, because joe biden may run for president again too. i think this is probably realistically his last chance if he is going to do it. if i were him, i wouldn't, because i think the momentum now for hillary clinton is building up. >> you wouldn't run or you wouldn't have breakfast? >> i wouldn't run against hillary clinton. i think she has been able to -- well, you know, there is a lot of repressed support for her. a lot of folks, especially a lot of women were out to push for hillary clinton, and then barack obama came along. and going into the details of what happened, but the fact is both obama supporters and clinton supporters want to pull together now and go for hillary. if she decides not to run for some reason, there is no obvious front-runner. joe biden would be the only one. but joe biden has got his weaknesses too. >> you think it's a political breakfast in the morning? >> i think so. i think it's basically trying to gauge where he is and mak

joe ruben. i want to get to mr. calio over there.he united states might be a little better off in the short run because we now have a government run by the military which seems to be a stabilizing force against a government that looks like it was moving more and more islamists and therefore at some point, anti-american. how do you read it? >> well, it's hard to read where u.s. interests lie on this current situation. you do certainly have the end of the muslim brotherhood leadership. although it was never overtly anti-american. you had the military, which is now in charge has strong ties to the americans, but the muslim brothers played nicely with washington, they said the right thing about israel, didn't cause any waves. so they weren't anti-american or anti-american interests. the incoming government, whatever form it takes will probably be less threatening to american citizens and that's a good thing. but there is also a precedent that has been set here with an elected president being ousted for bad politics, essentially, after on

mr. softy. >> oh, come on. >> why do we have him on, joe?adlines for the post. >> that is a fireable offense. >> 100 pushups. >> he's pushing the president to protect low wage workers. how congressman keith ellison wants the white house to address the nation's growing income gap. you're watching "morning joe" brewed by starbucks. ng out of pipe. sfx: birds chirping. no-charge scheduled maintenance. check. and here's the kicker... 0% apr for 60 months. and who got it? this guy. and who got it? this guy. and who got it? this guy. that's right...

mr. secretary, in your book, "issues on my mind," you've got some rules for leadership. a couple of those you've already expounded on. harlowe wrote down the joe loftis role. but your first rule is to be a participant. >> oh, yeah. well, that's what democracy is all about. early on when i was working with him in the primaries, ronald reagan gave me a tie, and on the tie it says, democracy is not a spectator sport. so be part of it and be part of the politics, but be willing to serve and be a participant. >> rule number five, confidence is the name of the game in leadership. >> well, it's a great start to be competent. and if you're not confident you're going to get in big trouble. i had a tough experience with that though. i told you when i went to washington as sacred of labor i was kind of innocent of politics, and i had a bunch of political appointee slots to fill, and i realized that you are trying to work with a diverse and speech wednesday. so i said -- diverse constituency. so i said i need the best management guy in this industrial relations labor relations do. nobody told me he was a guy named jim hudson was a lockheed that you would

mr. holder. make sure that the people know you are looking at it. then i believe that justice in the end will be with another jury. >> let me get your reaction quickly to joe scarborough has an op-ed on politico. he talked about how this somehow fell in a political realm and you had conservatives for whatever reason rallying instantly around george zimmerman. he was even appearing on the hannity show, which was brought up in court. and liberals, as he saw it, automatically lining up on the side, if you will, of trayvon martin. how did this turn into this not a black and white divide almost as a liberal/conservative divide as he sees it, joe scarborough? what do you think? >> i've been pleased as i've watched the peaceful demonstrations of the individuals upset with this verdict all across america coming from every background. they were black, white, hispanic, asian. i don't know what their political affiliations may or may not have been. it tends to tell me if you're a mother, no matter whether you're a democrat or republican, whether you're liberal or conservative, you would be concerned about your son being shot. >> an innocent, unarmed african-american

joe mccarthy, but this was one step too far. as she told president eisenhower, lucille -- is no communist. [laughter] mrs.nd and the other cast members to come to the white house to perform at a benefit for president eisenhower's birthday. this was just days before ms. ball was scheduled to appear on capitol hill. several weeks later, at the vice president dinner, a traditional dinner held annually in those days, the entire united states senate was always traditionally invited. one senator, however, was not invited by mrs. eisenhower. that was senator joseph mccarthy. as lighthearted as the anecdote may now seem, at the time, it sent a political message. it was the use of her role as a hostess by the administration, not so much by mrs. eisenhower, to make a statement that was not quite coming out against mccarthy. mccarthy was of the same political party. but it still made its point. from the very beginning, first ladies assumed public projects, or what we later called special projects. martha washington, for example, during the american revolution, had sown closed for revolutionary war veterans and then

joe biden swore in newly elected senator ed markey. he fills a seat vacated by secretary of state john kerry. >> mr.resident, what is the business before the senate? >> the swearing-in of the senator from massachusetts, the chair lays before the senate a certificate of election to fill the vacancy created by the vacancy of senator john f. kerry of massachusetts. the certificate the chair is advised is in the form suggested by the senate. if there is no objection, the reading of the certificate will be waived and it will be printed in the record. if the senator-elect will now present himself -- >> reserving the right to object. i know a lot of people want to say some real nice things about this good man, but you're going to have to do it later. we have a lot of things to do here and as he will learn, the senate is not always as punctual as the house. so all those who have these wonderful things to say about this good man, do it later. >> if the senator elect will now present himself at the desk, the chair will administer the oath. >> all right. raise your right hand. read the whole thing straight thr

mr. president, i don't care who's -- i really cairks but it doesn't really matter who is elected, whether it is jeb bush or hillary clinton or joe biden. that person shouldn't have to go through what we've gone through the last four and a half years. one look at the senate's executive calendar shows that fundamentally nothing has changed since senator mcconnell and i entered in our supposed agreement. there are yentsl currently 15 ee branch nominees ready to be confirmed by the senate, after long stalling in many different ways. they've been waiting more than 260 days. mr. president, add it up. that's about nine months for confirmation. at this point, president bush's secretary term, the senate confirmed three times as many executives as for president obama. by the 4th of july, president clinton's second term, the senate had confirmed 80 of his nominees. by the 4th of july of this year, president obama -- 34. remember, he's got three and a half years left. through june of this year, i've been forced to file cloture on 25 obama executive nominees -- 25, eating up so much time here. by comparison, cloture was rarely filed during t

joe blow and john blow because they may have completely different background, training and experiences to come out to a different result. >> in this case, did you have information made available to you about mr >> and if you would explain to the jury what information you reviewed to assist you in your analysis of his physical abilities or interaction abilities? >> i spoke directly with his -- i actually spoke with mr. zimmerman once and i spoke with adam pollock, i believe, the jim owner, personal trainer, about him. i was inquiring as to what his background, training and experience was, because that becomes a very important variable for me when reviewing a use of force. if i was dealing with chuck norris, i would expect a completely different response to any kind of physical altercation than if i was dealing with pee-wee herman. i look for sources that can provide me with a background on an individual. >> i presume the two of you can sort of speak the same language, having similar backgrounds and fight training and kick boxing, whatever else it is? >> yes. >> within that context then, what information were you able to glean concerning mr. zimmerman's physical prowess or abilities? >> withou

i hereby appoint the honorable joe donnelly, a senator from the state of indiana, to perform the duties of the chair. signed: patrick j. leahy, president pro tempore. mr. reid: lp? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: mr. president, i returned from nevada this sund sunday. on saturday i had a briefing by the head of the forest service in nevada. and we thought things were going really well with the fires in nevada, and they were. progress was being made. limited, but progress was being made. but since then the fires have gotten much worse. not everyone can see this, mr. president, but i have here a picture that i -- of course i didn't get this until earlier this morning, didn't have chance to blow this up so we could put it on an easel. but, mr. president, this is the beginning of the las vegas strip. this is downtown las vegas. and i.t. calle it's called the r fire. you can see it burning. it is only about 10 miles from las vegas, maybe 12 at the most. you can see these -- mt. charleston is a 12,000-foot mountain. the names are shooting way above that. the smoke -- we don't get many clouds in southern nevada, but the smoke cloud here

mrs. ford talked about it. there was a coffee table. [laughter] >> she had a wonderful way with wonderfuljfk had a way with the press. when they would ask the really tough questions, he would say, joe he would go, right over there and another reporter would ask the next question. i could not believe my ears when president clinton answered the young 16-year-old girl about underwear. >> you are exactly right on television, people say anything, then you feel you have no privacy. you have to answer the question that somebody asked you. >> i want to let people in the audience know we will start taking some audience questions if you come to the microphone. go ahead. >> in jacket he -- jackie kennedy's tour of the white house, i think it was charles -- asked her, they were in the east room, and she was talking about the gilbert stuart portrait of washington, and she was very knowledgeable and this was the first time this kind of thing had happened and she said, are you trying to connect the art with policy? she answered, that is such a tough question. i really believed it was because of her efforts that went in johnson signed.-- signed the nea. >> absolutely. >> why could she not take cre

mr. president, on monday, july 1, 2013, joseph c. mcwaite was laid to rest with full military honors in the fort logan national cemetery in denver, colorado. a proud world war ii veteran, joseph "big joe" mcwaite will rest beside his brother john mcwaite, also a world war ii veteran. joe was one of the most unique, memorable persons i have ever known in my lifetime. he was also my brother-in-law. joe was born on march 16, 1919, in the family farmhouse near stewart, iowa. a proud irishman, joe always noted that his birthday was one day before st. patrick's day. joe, his two brothers and sister, were born and raised in a loving but very poor family. his father willie was a self-taught, accomplished musician, playing the fiddle and piano in local bands around iowa. from an early age, joe was always known as big joe, quote, big joe, because he was a big bear of a man, standing 6'4" and tipping the scales around 240 pounds, all muscle and bone. he used to show off his strength by tearing phone books and decks of cards in half like they were just pieces of paper. this always impressed a lot of young kids. joe also liked to balance heavy, unwieldy objects like lawnmowers on his chin. but it
