donald trump inherited an economy from obama/biden. going head to head with the president over the economy. jillian: he says the president inherited the obama administration's success but do the numbers support that? rob: the ceo of american majority, ned ryan, thanks for coming back. what do you make of joe biden's argument on the economy? >> i keep hearing from democrats but somehow this economy started with the obama/biden administration which would make sense if trump's policies were continuation of obama they are not. they are completed radical departure from the obama philosophy of governing. obama wanted more regulation. trump started cutting regulations. i don't recall massive obama tax cuts, trump and the republicans delivered a massive tax cut. you can look at the fact that trump is putting the regulators across the administration but what has not been reported is all these judges he is appointing to the federal bench are dismantling the administrative state, the regulatory state, these are radical departures from obama's phi

one of the most important things the obama-biden did was put iran's nuclear weapons in a box. maybe not a perfect box or a permanent box, but at least a decade. the nuclear weapons program of iran on ice. president trump ripped that agreement up and distanced us from some of our foreign allies. this is one of many reasons i think the average american looks at the current station in the world and says they would welcome the leadership of former vice president, joe biden. >> president trump said he does not want a war. was that an attempt and successful to cool things down or a little, you know, too late? >> well, one of the challenges with president trump, who i'll remind you is the first president with no previous military or elected experience is that he ran on being an unconventional president. he's outperformed in that category. we will pick a fight in a certain context like with kim jong-un and using aggressive rhetoric, then just as abruptly do a 18 o and talk about kim being his close friend and somebody he deeply respects. president trump did, i think, reduce some of th

era or the obama biden area. >t trump has hurt the economy from the obama-biden administration that was given to him. >> kamala harris is trying to catch front runner joe biden with the prejudice to penalize big companies that don't pay men and women the same. for every 1% wage gap they allowed to persist, for work of even value, they will -- pay part of the prophet. >> in america today, women for the same work, for they equal work on average make $0.80 for the dollar. >> another senator kirsten gillibrand sits near the bottom of the democratic field and she's trying to shake things up by promising not to lock anybody up that gets picked up for being an illegal immigrant. >> i wouldn't keep them in detention at all. >> but do you oppose even with the obama administration did in terms of keeping families together or keeping them together for a longer period of time in detention? >> as president of the united states i wouldn't use the detention system at all. >> elizabeth warren focuses on something totally different

juan, biden rebranding the obama administration to the -- obama-biden administration. >> it helps him. helps him with black voters and minorities. what struck me, he's really intent on the idea saying, we're not angry. despite all the talk about democrats want to impeach trump, democrats are so angry that defines the democratic base. nope, he's saying, you know what? people like the idea that we would return to stability and civil discourse and civil debate. that's a winning ticket. that's not only i might add a rebuttal to trump, i think it's a rebuttal to other democrats. >> dana: maybe. jesse, you can't go for 16 months and not counter punch. >> yeah. he's running on unity. he can't unify his own party. he misreads the american people, this is a rambunctious country. we are hungry and want action. restoring the obama years is not a selling point. one of the reasons trump was elected is because of obama-biden. that whole system didn't work for the forgotten men and women of this country. that's why trump came in to shake things up. biden has been here for 30 years. now he says oh, y

under obama biden, unemployment in pennsylvania peaked at 8.8% at the end of the great recession thatresident bush and was down 5% when donald trump -- when president obama left office. pennsylvania did well under obama biden. >> then why didn't they vote for hillary? how was donald trump able to convince them to leave their blue state routes and come with him? >> we can talk about mistakes that were made in the clinton campaign which none of the clinton people want to hear about. she made a number of mistakes. it's clear that joe biden is not making those mistakes be do. people like mayor pete are not. they are reaching out, talking to people, they are coming on fox news and talking to fox news viewers, they are learning from 2016 and reaching out to a broad base. shannon: we had congresswoman gabbard with us last weekend we invite democrats all the time, we had john delaney, andrew yang. our doors are open and we want to hear from people interviewers want to hear from them but if it ends of being joe biden he's being smart about going to the states democrats feel they never should h

remember when obama called isis the jv team in biden is the jv team of obama. obama but he's not as good at it. >> the people on the left marginalize the trump voters. instead of trying to appeal to them saying listen, i have a plan, this is my approach and how i can help you, it's to paint you as racist or if you voted for trump you're anti-immigrant. it's not going to work by doing that. >> biden is the front runner. a lot of the other candidates are way way behind. like bill deblasio. >> how are we doing. >> look at this campaign stop. there were smaller crowds at the other events. >> that's the big crowd? >> there's not 30 in this picture but the reporter said there were 10 or 15 in the back. we don't know but for the benefit of the doubt . >> they couldn't get in. the room at full capacity. >> another ten or 15 makes for quite an audience. no one is excited. i don't know anyone excited about bill deblasio running, especially if you're from new york and witnessed the atrocities that he's brought in. >> there's 15 of them there. i wonder how many will vote f

biden. do you get a sense he'll run on the obama legacy?look, for almost all democrats obama is a positive, okay. so marrying yourself to obama is a positive. i thought biden did a very good job of being joe biden in the speech and showing his own style and his own -- what he's trying to do for the nation and also attaching himself to the obama/biden legacy. so i don't think he's going to -- it is going to be obvious that he's part of the obama administration. it is one of the reasons why he's so popular right now. it is one of the reasons why his polling numbers, they're not high just because of name recognition. there is genuine affection for him. particularly in the african-american community where, look, there is two ways to win a democratic primary. you are either a white candidate who can win african-american voters or your an african-american candidate who can win white votes right now he's the only white candidate out there to show to win the ability of african-american votes at least in the polls. >> he didn't bring up race issues.

rather than obama care, becomes obama-biden care. ear deal. obama's 1.9% average economic growth. that ties him to weakness over eight years. charles: at some point biden has to come up with ideas, right? at very least i would suspect his democratic rivals would challenge him on some of these things? >> certainly. it is very clear he will run as a moderate democrat. i expect from him we'll see a fairly comprehensive immigration reform package that will include border security, protections for dreamers. maybe health care, obama care, i think we'll see some other democratic policies because he is running as a centrist. trying to get around all the people running to the left of him. charles: want to ask you about nancy pelosi, speaker pelosi, calling for a special meeting with house democrats tomorrow morning. on the agenda impeaching president trump, what the party's next move will be in the wake of the mueller report. deroy, democrats, is it time to stop playing with this hand because, it didn't turn out the way they wanted, i feel lik

under obama-biden, 8.8% at the end of the great recession, which started under president bush and wasway down to 5% when president obama left office. so pennsylvania did very well under obama-biden as well. >> shannon: then why didn't they vote for hillary? how do you think that president trump was able to convince them to leave their blue state roots income with them? >> well, that's interesting. we can talk about the mistakes that were made in the clinton campaign, which i know none of the clinton people want to hear about, but she met a number of mistakes. it's clear already that joe biden is not making those mistakes. clear already that people like mayor pete are not making the same mistakes. they are connecting, going to the communities, talking to people. they are coming out fox news i'm talking to fox news viewers. >> wow. >> they are learning from what happened in 2016 and reaching out to us broad base of people. >> shannon: we had tulsi gabbard with us. we had john delaney, who is running. we've had andrew yang and mary williamson. our doors open. we want to hear from people.

what did obama-biden know? when did they know it? did they try to abuse their power to bypass american laws? do they outsource illegal spies on we the people? did they outsource that which they knew was illegal to friendly countries to do the jobs they would not be able to do? the attorney general is now definitively investigating the spying, and sooner than later, we are going to have the answers we deserve. evenav sooner, we will have the results. let's notho forget, the investigation into all the leaks. speakings of which, more onerous to text us. never ends. the new stream of information. rampantly reeking sensitive information about the russia investigation. just after president trump was elected. strzok writing her, they have begun leaking like mad. worried. they are kicking into overdrive. an email in april, strzok also wrote i'm beginning to think the agency got info a lot earlier than we thought and hasn't shared it with us. might explain all of these incorrect leads. all of these media folks have. it also highlights the age

obama to donald trump that it was -- it was shocking. that's why so much of the polling got it wrong. i'll give you one thing for joe biden. id more than recognizing pennsylvania and michigan exist than hillary clinton did. but just in pennsylvania alone, there's been 5,000 new manufacturing jobs created. 50,000 were loss under obama. that's the challenge that he has. the booming economy continues, biden will move out -- >> i want to do this with kennedy. can we pop up the fox news poll? it shows bernie sanders beating president trump head-to-head by 5 points. part of the argument might be sometimes president trump will give us a clue at who might be also viable in a race. he tweeted about bernie sanders. maybe there's a bernie problem here, too. >> or at least a challenge. >> here's my problem with the whole thing. i love all of this the way i love sports. if the basketball or hockey playoff lasts 1 1/2 years, i'd move to my underground bunker. i don't have one yet but i'd invest many one. i think if we shorten the cycle -- it's great for us to have a long cycle. we can talk about politics, the horse race, the personalitie

he inherited an economy from obama/biden, just like he inherited everything else. all right. back with me now, a lot to unpack there, we have national political reporter for the "washington exam iner, selena. former assistant to president bush, jennings. press secretary lockhart. executive director for justice democrats, alexandra rojas. glad you could stick around with me. joe biden, jill biden, very comfortable there in pennsylvania, the birthplace of joe biden in scranton, and then jill told a story of how growing up in philadelphia, you know, is near and dear to her heart. i mean, clearly, this was an electrified crowd. it has to go beyond philadelphia. it's important for joe biden to clench pennsylvania, a state that donald trump won. how will he do it? >> well, you know, first of all, i think it was really important for him to put his campaign headquarters in pennsylvania. it signifies that this is where he's -- where the fight begins, right? to win pennsylvania -- like a republican doesn't need pennsylvania to win the presidency, but a democrat definitely does. he gave

obama and biden stood by while china continued to cheat and steal us blind in the united states.f joe ever has power again, it would be back to business as usual with china. in other words, china wins, we lose. but what about the other 2020 democrat hopefuls? if you think they have better ideas, you would be wrong. take mayor pete, last seen in a volga magazine shoot, with all of his vast experience in international trade, he is weighing in on the china negotiations, as well. >> china often works in terms of twenty-year plans. i'm not sure this president thinks beyond his next wheat, and it shows in our policies when it comes to trade, we need a fair trade. there is currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, a lot of bad behavior going on on the chinese side. if we want to reduce that, there has to be some sense we are going to come to the table and negotiate something better, not just lobbing tariffs over the fence. >> laura: a side of the fact that one does not lobbing tariffs and there is no fence, what does he think trump and bob lighthizer, the entire trade team, ha

biden is having some trouble. they're not saying we backed obama, let's jump in and support biden. in fact there's a head line from the washington post that reads, they worked for obama, they're not supporting biden yet. as they scan the field for a possible transformation and worry about a repeat of the 2016 election, many others speak of their continued hunger for a new generation of leadership and a free face cho can transcend. they are eager for someone like obama who can bring new voter to the poll. they're basis clay sayin base bg that that the magic that obama -- i remember i was teaching when he ran. young people were so excited about him. they're not sure that biden has the same appeal. they'lllikethey're like let's sd see. >> older folks vote.

biden. i worked for the obama campaign. i have positive feelings toward the obama-biden years.rybody says we need to go forward, not back. i want to go back. i think the eight years were some of the best we have had as a country. i feel like when you're scared and i'm scared and worried you want to go home. to me, joe biden is home. >> two interesting things. the candidate preferences are always interesting >> always unexpected. people never fit neatly into a box you want to put them in. if you are a woman of color, you're going to vote for a woman of color, not true >> i will say it's early and those may change. what was interesting to me is the lanes that these voters laid out that democrats can run in or for democrats to run in. it's income inequality. yes, the economy is booming. there are people who don't feel it. if you arctticulate that in the right way to students facing student debt or people struggling to get by, there is an opportunity for democrats there to exploit it. then also the nostalgia for obama-biden which they are tapping into. it ace a road map >> student

as a result, we avoided a fiscal calamity. >> obama also leans on biden's relationships on issues suchare and iraq. >> president obama knew that biden brought a kind of rolodex that could be drawn upon to try to help navigate iraqi politics and our relationships. >> biden helps orchestrate a handover of power to the iraqis in 2010, a move that is both celebrated and criticized. >> it is clear to me they wanted to get out and it is an example of where i think they got it wrong. you could can argue bush got it wrong, you can argue i got it wrong, but i think he and obama made a mistake. >> we're not claiming victory. what we're claiming here is that we've done the job our administration set out to do, to end the bleeding, both financially and physically, that this war has caused. >> throughout their administration, obama and biden develop a synchronized approach. >> i think it evolved quite naturally. the president tends to be reflective and he would like to hear from all sides. the tendency is if people know the president wants to go in one direction, everybody goes in that direction. i

authority to talk about it than any other candidate in the race actually because he was part of the obama/biden team that inherited a recession. the great recession from president bush. the economy was losing 800,000 jobs a month when barack obama and joe biden took office in january of 2009. when they left office and turned over the keys to donald trump, we were gaining 200,000 jobs a month. that's an incredible turnaround from an economy where we are experiencing financial collapse, gm was on the verge of collapse, and when we left office, when they left office, the unemployment rate had been cut in half. jobs were starting to come back in the number of different sectors. we started to see also that the deficit had been cut in half, and now trump inherited all this, yes, but has he actually taken advantage of it or has he swa squandered it? the argument that biden is making is he has squandered it. the middle class is barely rising. >> theorizing. the unemployment rate is continuing to drop. it's the lowest level in half a century. >> here's the thing. unemployment was going down -- this is w

was the anger and disappointment in the obama/biden administration.'re going to keep that slogan, either make america great again or, like president trump suggested, keep america great. i'm all for it. lou: have you got a choice, jason, between the two? you know, i kind of like where we are right now. everything is booming perfectly. keep america great again might, certainly, work. >> yeah, i like keep america great. and i love the president's comments, because, lou, this is where donald trump is the best. and it cuts to bone against the democrats. those blue collar workers, those union workers this in pennsylvania -- there in the pennsylvania, they've got to know that compared to obama/biden, donald trump's actually been in there fighting, rolling up his sleeves and taking the fight to china. that's a winning message in pennsylvania and across the cup. lou: and the economy, how important is it -- well, you know what? we've got about 30 seconds. what i'm going to do the, jason and amy, is say thank you both. i wish we had more time, but the president

where president trump has created thousands of manufacturing jobs and in contrast if we look at the obama/bident bled so many manufacturing jobs. that's something joe biden will have to be held to account, blue collar americans are benefiting under the trump economy. it will be interesting to see what biden is going to present differently to some of these states like pennsylvania. >> another factor that could reshape the 2020 race, new restrictions and bans on abortion. a growing number of states, alabama signing the strict esteban yet this past week with no exceptions for rape or incest but president trump broke from alabama saying he's in favor of those exceptions and called on republicans to be united on this. do you think it's too late now that alabama's ban has been signed into law? >> i don't think it's too late because many other states are watching this issue. four other states have passed similar heart beat laws. and are moving forward with that. i agree with president trump. i think banning abortion for victims of rape and inside goes too far but on the other extreme democrats in new

sort of the obama-biden apology tour, they even allowed what american people saw as foreign country to- >> it looks like biden wants to go back to that. >> he does. kennedy: >> he say they are okay. kennedy: and saying china is not a threat, that is their reason for being, they have a 50 year plan to rule the world, and be the single global hegemon. >> a trillion dollar invested in our economy, challenges exists right now with china and our economy and moving forward cannot be under stated, or cannot be overstated, the fact that biden is trying to down lay those is a real problem for him. you look ated by -- >> so, if the honeymoon still happening when it ends does bernie make up enough ground. >> who is antibiden candidate. kennedy: they will all attack him. >> they are. kennedy: they have to define themselves in a 4 dimensional way. >> they do as they grab their different lanes, and you look attributlook at-- buttigieg dowt weekend, younger policy oriented left of center but middle left candidate, bernie sanders right now is the candidate of older, white male socialives that is a thi

biden going to defend the economic record of eight years and him and obama? also, we got to get to the bottom of what was the single biggest abuse of power scandal in this country's history. for years, this country's most sensitive and powerful intelligence tools were turned against its own citizens by a few, not the majority. the trump campaign, the trump transition team, we know now, it is now beyond all doubt, incontrovertible evidence, they were spied on by the obama administration, not once, but over and over again. american rights were trampled by the constitution shredded. lives were ruined. a partisan special counsel witch hunt divided this country for almost two years. in the end, thankfully, truth prevailed. they lost. no collusion. the left long gone folks, conspiracy theories, whether they can admit it or not, the attorney general confirmed this week, they are over. but the stage two, the second act begins officially, as he said this week, everything we've been talking about for two years, the attorney general will begin investigating it already h

and to me joe biden is home. >> david exal rod is a former senior adviser to president obama, host ofnn the ax files. so always a pleasure. biden is referred to himself as an obama/biden democrat and do you think nostalgia or relying on nostalgia is a double-edged sword this go around. >> not in the democratic primaries. i'm not sure that it gets you all the way there. but there are other elements of biden that could. he is seen as someone who would be a strong opponent for president trump. and in this new hampshire poll, you can understand the reasons why he does very well among older voters. he does very well among working class voters. he cuts right into those categories of voters that where donald trump won the presidency particular particularly -- -- in the northwestern industrial states, that is real. and the association obama helps him the most with african-american voters. there aren't many in new hampshire but nationally he's at 50% among african-american voters. i don't think anybody else is even in double-digits. and so the association is really helping him there. when gets

roots versus donald trump inheriting his wealth and clearly putting himself back in the mold at the obama/biden democrat and taking credit for the economic recovery that began on his watch he believes. where does joe biden go from here is the next question? we won't see at much from him pub politically. doing fund-raising and more importantly getting ready for that critical first democratic primary debate at the end of june. we heard from some biden campaign advisers that he's ready, taking shots from all sides from his primary opponents and from the president and going to get ready to take on those fights as well. richard? >> mike, six-week preparation i guess. practice makes perfect in stuff like this. hey, how confident are the staff right now? the numbers, as you heard, the leadup here, if we follow the polls today, had would be top democrat, beat president trump now. how confident are they? a concern because so many months are ahead of you? >> reporter: listen, a lot of people saying to the biden campaign, i know this personally, that perhaps the vice president's best day as a candidate mi

biden. he can speak about obama and biden, the economy, as he did in that piece. he is in a tremendous position relative to a very large democratic field, where you have so many others who are trying to find their own lane, to break out of the pack. he doesn't have to do that. i think, as much as there is some tension in the democratic party about the progressive wing of the party and the future of the party, i think there's an overwhelming sense of, who is going to beat trump? i think biden fits the bill. he has a lot of experience running, a lot of unsuccessful experience running for president. so to see him be more disciplined this go around, i think, is going to make democrats happy. >> david, i think we just heard joe biden make a really interesting point about the economy. maybe this is how he is going to frame it going forward, which is, trump nmis the beneficiary all of the seeds that obama and biden planted, and that the economy is now on autopilot, basically. so if voters believe it, he can make the case, you can do better on these other -- on all the ot

manufacturing, that the facts come out, that under obama/biden, 200,000 manufacturing jobs were lost,nd under president trump in just three years, 450,000 manufacturing jobs have been added. >> you know what? >> so breaking through empty rhetoric with record. >> i'll leave it there. that, unfortunately, is not what the president of the united states did. he said he's not smart like bernie and he's not a bright light bulb. you gave policy. >>> next, jeannie moesz on the congressional hearing that was certainly not pg. >> trump is a [ bleep ] idiot. sorry to the kids out there. an electronic locking rear differential for... yeah... this. heading to the supermarket? get any truck. heading out here? get the ford ranger. the only adventure gear built ford tough. she's staying in a rainforest tree house? that's my dream. you dream big for a man on a plane to omaha. and she's zip lining with little jon? what! it's lil jon. even he knows that. thanks, captain obvious. you're with big jon. i'm steve. don't hate-like their trip, book yours with hotels.com and get rewarded basically everywhere.

. >> reporter: you also have referred to yourself as an obama-biden democrat. at that and say, well, are you running for a third obama term? how would your presidency be substantially different? >> i'm really proud of serving with barak. but look, it's a new time, a new day. >> reporter: donald trump is very confident that should you win the nomination that he could beat you easily. are you as confident that you can win the nomination and defeat him? >> whether i win the nomination or not's going to depend on the democrats, and whether or not i beat donald trump is going to depend on the american people. but as i said, everyone knows who donald trump is. >> i'm >> our thanks to robin. >>> and next, chasing butterflies with the insect inspector. find out what's bugging the planet. rd of care. it's something we take personally, and believe in passionately. it's the idea that if our mothers were diagnosed with cancer, how would we want them to be treated? that's exactly how we care for you. with answers and actions. to hear your concerns, quiet your fears, lift yo

president trump reversed the disastrous obama economy. joe bident alternative facts. the one he is spewing are the alternative facts and lies. conveniently you did not hear him just say that he and obama orchestrated the worst economic recovery since world war ii. joe biden is an empty suit who hasn't been asked a single hard question. i wonder when will he be asked about losing 200,000 manufacturing jobs, president trump has gained 500,000. when will he be asked about the fact that wages were stagnant and now growing at the fastest pace in a decade and his support for nafta which hemorrhageed a million jobs and president trump orchestrated the usmca. he understand he wants to take claim for the trump economy but factually speaking he wants. >> sandra: interesting to see how it is said about the strength in the u.s. economy. a lot of big headlines from over the weekend. ahead of all that we have the president campaigning in pennsylvania tonight. he is going to be holding a rally there today. what will the president's message be? >> that's right. i'

ironic given that the race relations in america were actually at their lowest in 50 years under the obama-bidenistration. also mischaracterizing president trump's comments in charlottesville which the media hasn't covered accurately, if you look at president trump's statements in charlottesville which was biden referring to, jim crowe sneaking back in, president trump was actually very clear about that, he said, yes, that both sides did have to right to their first amendment, free speech but he also condemned each of those groups name by name, neo nazis, white supremacists, the kkk, he called them evil, he called the acts egregious and statement went on and on, i don't know why the media hasn't picked up on it and the democrats don't acknowledge it but it's disingenuous. heather: part of 1994 crime bill, hearing for anita hill. so all of that opens the door to bring all of that back to the forefront. >> well, i will take that argument and run with it. if you want to create a moral equivalency between what biden was doing and what trump was doing and calling for execution of 5 black teenagers wh

biden is the front runner in the democratic party for the primary. there is a story in "the new york times," about the revelation that obama was not completely supportive of biden running in 2016. do you think that impacts his chances for the primary campaign? ms. brown: i don't. i think endorsements are generally overstated. of course, president obama, if you were to endorse biden at any stage would be a powerful endorsement. everybody in the democratic field will want to get that. i don't think anybody will get it though. i think obama is traditional and how he tries to address interparty fights. i would be very surprised if you were to weigh in at any point for one person or another. of course, that could always change depending on who is standing, the last two folks to three folk standing. for biden, i was not a surprise for any of us who have covered the obama-biden relationship, and the feeling into 2015 that it was hillary clinton's turn. particularly in 2008, the historic election between the candidatecan-american to get that far, and the first woman. back then, people thought it was hillary clinton's time. obviously, it was barack obama's time

the obama/biden era produced 2% growth and in the last six months of the administration, it was down , but there's nobody challenging biden's claim. the media just smugly repeats it. mr. biden should not be allowed to take credit for someone else's achievement. senator kamala harris is running for the oval office and also making dubious statements about the economy. she says it's not working for ordinary people. they are working two or three jobs to put food on the table. that's what she says. i don't doubt that that is true in some cases, but to generalize and suggest everyone is struggling is dangerous spin. it's playing the victim card. an endless game of basically class warfare. all the candidates imply that their tax and spend policies would change things for the better. i'm here to say they would not. in fact, these policies would destroy the prosperity that tax cuts and deregulation have created. so the campaign rolls on. the economy booms and the democrats complain it's not fair. 2020 looks to be a replay of 2016. >>> the third hour of "varney & company" about to begin. stuart

i think the real question is joe biden is going to have to answer for the failure of the obama/biden administration. i think especially on foreign policy. we have seen recently joe biden has no understanding on foreign policy when he says that china is not a competitor of ours. we already saw many missteps through the obama/biden administration calling isis the j.v. team and he said don't go after osama bin laden. we saw inaction with syria when they cross had that red line. we saw their inaction on the russia meddling. biden doesn't have a great record when it comes to foreign policy and that among many other things will be vetted through this process. >> bill: he has an impressive lead at the moment. long way to go we can concede that. now we played this clip from hillary clinton that was spoken over the weekend. we played it yesterday a couple of times and i want to revisit it for a moment and get your reaction to the following as she reflects. >> as i've been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can hav

if he just lays low and rests on his moral and emerges to talk about the good old days of the obama-biden. he is fine doing that for a little while. he is biding his time. hiding biden. >> you not a lying. >> that opens him up to a number of attacks. the crime bill took an entire generation, men of color, and so showed they were disposable. i can't believe it's taken 25 years to right that course. we are having the most bizarre conversation with actors leading it that you would never imagine. you would never imagine that trump is leading the discussion on criminal justice reform. >> but that's how it works. you trust the hard liner to do the soft line? >> right. also you could not have this conversation in 1994. >> the crime bill decreased crime in jump a manner we can now entertain it's wrong. >> you could. >> when we talk about these things going forward, i hope it changes the decision. i hope we talk unintended consequences. people get frustrated when we talk is socialism which is filled with some wonderful intentions. but the bad that can come of it can be so destructive and long last

chris would say joe biden was a nonfactor when it came to the obama initiation. they did not follow a lot of his advice, both sides of the political aisle has to -- suggestiveness. it might've been a terrible phrase but -- >> they do not have a lot of sway, right? kennedy: here's the thing if you want to be vp and have gravitas do not run for president because is a different ballgame.politics especially present a politics is a blood sport. you're going to get dirty and i don't, i don't like people hiding behind you know former titles were gender -- if you want to get the mode you are going to get dirty.>> exactly. joe biden, he will be able to handle himself i think. he's going to take a lot of incoming especially from democrats as they dig into his record but this is the new normal. we talk a lot about this, is donald trump unique in the sense or how we sort of crossed the line that we are never going to be able to -- kennedy: that is a real good point! is he the author of all of this or symptom? of this culture? >> i think he is the king of it. the people that

tonight is a community college professor who served as second lady of the unit the states during the obama bidens written mu memoir called where the light enters, building a family, discovering myself, please welcome dr. jill biden. (applause) >> thank you. wow. how nice. >> trevor: welcome to the daily show. >> what a nice audience you have. >> trevor: they vey wonderful audience, and augustine isn't even here, if he was here, welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: and congratulations on genuinely one of the most surprising memoirs i have read recently. >> really. >> trevor: yeah, because i didn't know what to expected. but i didn't exement it to be as candid as it is. there are ups, downs, joy, pain. one of the things i didn't expect is how much of a prankster you are. >> yeah, i am, things in the white house are always pretty serious. and so i like to make a little fun. we have a good time. so one of the pranks that i pulled, we were leaving on air force two and i was coming from school. i'm a teacher. and so i was waiting and waiting for joe and he didn't get there. so i thought you k

kennedy: really interesting because, i never really felt that the obama-biden foreign policy in termsnd i think that adds to laziness, you are doing it irk idling, you have to have a position, if that is free trade, i am for that but saying no they are not really a threat i think that small minded and short-sighted it could come back to bite new the keister thank you for your time, marc lotter. >> thank you. kennedy: thank you, topical kennedy: thank you, topical smy insurance rates are probably gonna double. but dad, you've got allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. are you in good hands? back then, we checked our zero times a day. times change. eyes haven't. that's why there's ocuvite. screen light... sunlight... longer hours... eyes today are stressed! but ocuvite has vital nutrients to help protect them. ocuvite. eye nutrition for today. the latest inisn't just a store.ty it's a save more with a new kind of wireless network store. it's a look what your wifi can do now store. a get your questions ans

president trump inherited this from the obama biden administration. it was given to him just like he invented everything else in this. reporter: pennsylvania is a crucial battleground state. the latest poll shows joe biden with an 11 point lead over president trump in pennsylvania. donald trump won the state in 2016 by less than one percent. the latest fox news poll and shows joe biden lead over the democratic contenders continues to grow. he's at 35 percent, that is up from 31 percent and bernie sanders is a distant second with 17 percent. down from 23 percent. erica, other progressives have attacked the joe biden for not being progressive enough and to that end he had an interesting thing to say today. he said compromise is not a dirty word. consensus is not weakness. eric: it will be a battleground especially in that state. thank you. arthel: the former vp is talking about his party today. here's what he said. >> i know some of the really smart folks the democrats don't want to hear about unity. this is democrats are so angry that the angry or a dem

biden's chances for the primary campaign? >> i don't. i don't. i mean i think endorsements are generally overstated. they're not -- now, of course, president obama, if he were to endorse biden at any stage would be a powerful endorsement that everybody in the democratic field is going to want to get. i don't think anybody will get it, though. i think obama is very traditional in how he tries to approach these intraparty fights, and i would be very surprised if he were to weigh in at any point for one person or another. of course that could always change depending on who is standing, who are the last two or three folks standing. for biden, i think that wasn't necessarily a surprise to any of us who have covered the obama/biden relationship and the feeling in 2015 that it was hillary clinton's turn. you know, particularly 2008, historic election between the first african-american, you know, candidate to get that far and the first woman. and, you know, back then people thought it was hillary clinton's time, and obviously it was barack obama's time. and i think to a certain extent, he wanted to make sure that she had her time, you know, as the first

joe biden has to stand by the obama administration. what we have seen this week jesse is 49-year low record unemployment this president has put this economies on fire and under the obama biden years, 1.2% growth rate was a new normal and los manufacturing jobs mostly to china. he's on the hook for that he has no plan he has no motto he has no chance. >> and cory makes the point if biden is going to be the guy to retake the rust belt from trump the rust belt got demolished under the obama administration. i mean, they lost tons of manufacturing jobs that china, and nafta joe he supported that, i don't think biden is strong as everybody says he is. do you? >> the defamation of blue collar job and working class jobs many this country partly as a result of immigration it is partly the result of globalization. and it is part of the result of technology now notice that iddemocrats and biden at the frt of it have no intention of addressing any of these three problems. >> no. trump is tackling two of them. namely immigration and the issue of tr

. >> president trump will hurt an economy from the obama, biden. >> while biden took credit for the growth. members of the trump campaign say biden's claim is inaccurate. >> president trump reversed every metric. i understand he wants to take claim, but he can't do that. >> another democratic presidential candidate, california senator also took on the trump economy. >> america's economy is not working for working people. so then you know, leaders walk around talking about oh, the economy is great. the economy is great. >> in a fox news town hall over the weekend, the mayor pitched new tax hikes. >> we need to entertain ideas. i would say a fairer marginal income tax rate on those earning the most, a reasonable wealth tax, or something like that. to make sure people are giving back. >> the popularity continues to grow. he places third right behind bernie sanders in the polls with biden maintaining a strong lead. in washington, griff jenkins. >> democratic presidential candidate and california senator, kamala harris is calling for fair wages for teachers. if elected, she would increase teach

president trump inherited an economy from obama/biden administration. that was given to him, just like he inherited everything else in his life. >> now, biden also pushed back on those who argue that he may be naive in saying that the country needs to return to consensus. he said that he's willing to take on republicans at times, but he also knows how to make government work because he's actually been there in office. you heard him multiple times, pointing back to his collaboration, his partnership with president obama. that's something that biden has been stressing throughout this campaign so far. really, biden was trying to project that message of unity, saying that the country needs to stop fighting and start working, and that the priority will be defeating president trump. ana? >> let's talk a little bit more about the location of this big launch and the final rally of his kick-off. just how crucial is pennsylvania for any democrat in order to win the presidency? >> reporter: well, you'll remember that president trump won pennsylvania back in 2016. t

how many spies were used and what about biden and obama know? did they bypass american laws and outsource illegal spying on the u.s. citizens? did they outsource that which they knew were friendly countries to do the jobs they would not be able to do? the attorney general is investigating this spying and sooner we will have the answers we love and the results of horowitz's investigation into fisa abuse and huber's investigation to all of the leaks. more unearthed texts from the lovebirds page and strzok suggesting they were leaking sensitive information about the russian investigation just after the election: in an e-mail strzok wrote i think the agency got info earlier and hasn't shared it with us. that might explain all of these incorrect leads the media folks have and highlight the agency that is the source of the leaks. there were concerns the leaks were coming from the national security agency or the cia under obama and bind's watch. -- biden's watch. led by clapper and brennan. republican lawmakers are calling for a new investigation into

jesse: dinesh, corey makes the point if biden's going to be the guy to retake the rust belt from k president trump, i mean, the rust belt got demolished under the obamadministration. i mean, they lost tons of manufacturing jobs to china, i mean, nafta joe, he supported that. i don't think biden is as strong as everybody says he is, do you? >> the decimation of blue collar jobs and working class jobs in this country is partly the result of immigration, it's partly the result of globalization, and it's partly the result of technology. now, notice that the democrats and biden at the front of it have no intention of addressing any of these three problems. jesse: no. >> trump is tackling two of them, namely immigration and the issue of trade and technology. so working class people know that trump at least trying, and he's showing impressive results. sois how -- the only way for bin to beat trump is if he were somehow younger, more in energetic, but the opposite is the case. while trump is on fire, biden seems exhausted, he seems almost as old as the people in his audience. jesse: that's true. 600 people at your launch is pathetic. he didn't have many more
