actually quite a bit of continuity of officials when they sort of the white house and that's true biden obama so would you call out biden record is he is he not telling us the truth when he says that he worked for years to recognize that as genocide. it's part of the truth i mean as a senator he was a great champion of the issue as vice president he was part of an administration that not only broke its pledge to recognize this crime but fought congress for recognizing it entered a number of other steps that were very. frankly that's the other part of the equation now if i president biden was against policy by president obama then he should share as much he should tell us exactly what went on in the white house and if he was for it obama was against it he got overruled well you should you should tell us that but failing that i think we have to assume that the obama biden ministration was over one of one voice on the say right and we know that the turkish president obviously which i don't want consistently denies the vents actually constitute genocide and has been upset that congress would move

welcome to the day it's good to have you here on monday bernie sanders indorsed joe biden today barack obama indorsed joe biden which will bring in more votes in november. oh out of you know i'm not going to hedge a bet on that but i thought i was a betting man i would say barack obama by millions there's nothing like our beloved former president who works so closely with joe biden i appreciate it the comments of your previous guests the only little thing i respectfully disagree with is that joe biden's entire candidacy is not just based on his 8 years of being the vice president although those were an amazing 8 years that he served our nation and worked side by side with president obama but he's been in the united states senate before that for over 36 years so it's a 3 or 4 decades worth of service to our nation that he brings to our country you wrote today mobile supporters of bernie sanders and you wrote about their since in title meant what do you mean you have to have. well let's be clear i didn't say that about all of bernie supporters i said for those that are the naysayers who are al

she is coming up on the significance of barack obama endorsing joe biden. rter:f i you are running for anything as a democrat, mayor, congressman, the endorsement you really want ithat of barack obama. but the former president realized it was not just enough to say he likes joe biden, he had to remind americers that the former vice president has experience leading in a crisis. barack obama: joe has the character anguexperience to e us through one of our darkest times and heal us through a long recovery. and i know he will surround himself wi good people. experts, scientists, military officials, who actually know how to run the government. reporter: if you heard a bit of a dig at trump, you are not wrong. there is no love lost between the two. but there was a lot of love for barack obama knows they have to turn a vote for joe biden if they are going to take back thit house. barack obama: bernie has devoted hisin life to g voice to hopes, dreams, frustrations of working people. reporter this was partly an appeal to bernie sanders at a tribute tooe biden but al

campaigned on going back to the obama biden times. and that's really the pitch that he made in tying himself so closely to president obama. >> dana: the other thing president obama talked about is he said vice president biden he said "he helped me handle e bo bola." lelia albert happened during their administration. now there in a strange situation, they're not able to have big rallies, get together. it is such uncharted territory. then you have the president with all the wonderful trappings of incumbency, every day in front of the nation, two hours a day, sometimes more trying to lead the nation through crisis. it's really hard to imagine how they figure this out. >> i mean, look, yesterday, because of that marathon briefing that obviously raised a lot of eyebrows and got auto coverage, you did not hear about bernie sanders endorsement that much. you didn't hear about democrats having kind of a big win as far as motors getting out in wisconsin. that much. so donald trump, the president takes a lot of light and sound and oxygen out of

biden was the ranking member. workseen his character at from a front row seat in what he's fighting for and i had the working on team obama and i'll tell you, every time we needed something, whether it was fighting for overtime wages for workers, fighting for retirement fighting to make sure workplaces were safe, fighting for women, joe biden was always there for me when i was advocating and he's always been there for the american people so a's going to want someone as running mate who shares those values and i'm really, really making history this november with the first in americanresident history. anna: are you talking to his team? names ofput forth any qualified candidates you'd like to see him look at? mr. perez: i'm leaving that to him and his team. he's got enough folks who are qualified giving him that advice so i'm going to continue to him. it i have a really good relationship with the vice with dr. biden, as well. i'm just thrilled for them and i'm thrilled for the american people because the american people need competent withrship, leadership values and character that have what backs and that's they're going to

well it was certainly it was certainly obama and biden's fault that the stockpile of and 95 masks were depleted would you agree with that. to me to agree or disagree with that i was merely said many times he did her rigid a broken down i think we need all those facts and it's convenient that the obama biden administration which is as you claim everyone knew this pandemic was coming why did they leave us completely empty with the stockpiles of mass and other critical supplies they knew that in 2009 there's a hearing with then secretary health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius where she acknowledged that the stockpiles for empty she acknowledged that all of her medical supplies were empty that 8 years and they never did a single thing to refill that stockpile so question is a problem i'm going to speak present health care it's a failure of government bureaucracies an onerous record regulations i've got that got in the way for far too long present tromp wisely as a unleashed the private sector got rid of these onerous regulations working in conjunction with the f.d.a. with th

biden. >> dana: right. his movement did have some impact. now i'm wondering about this. former president obamaas set it out and said he probably wouldn't comment until this was all over and now that joe biden is a presumptive nominee, do you expect to see president obama may be weighing in now? >> absolutely. if it was a normal year and you could travel, it would be a gigantic obama-bite in the event. a huge celebration and a burning might be there as well, they hold hands and have a unified appearance. that's coming. we just don't know what day. will they create a virtually or do it in person, it's coming. >> dana: it will be a really big zoom if people decide to do that. thank you so much. up next, a potential weapon in flattening the curve. why some officials are saying that antibiotics could be key in stopping the spread of the coronavirus. we will have that for you, next. musica♪ by using your va streamline refi benefit, one call to newday usa can save you $2,000 a year. that's me. there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. that's me. put your va home loan b

remember, it has been well documented that biden was not obama's first choice. tried to get biden not to run for president. of the former president was worried that his former vp would "embarrass himself." meanwhile joe biden desperately needs the support of bernie sanders far left supporters. sanders own campaign spokeswoman openly attacked biden and refused to endorse. so listen to obama's pitch to those disaffected bernie supporters. >> if i was running today, i would not run the same race or have the same platform as i did in 2008. to the world is different, there is too much unfinished business for us to just look backwards. we have to look to the future. bernie understands that. angelo understands that. it is one of the reasons that joe already has what is the most progressive platform of any major party nominee in history. >> jesse: all right, judge jeanine, the thing that struck me was how great the former president is up top. i guess that's what happened. what do you think about the endorsement? i know you can't do it in front of a 30,000 crowd in a swi

and i think a lot of people might think well, i did okay in that very slow recovery under obama, and biden, i did a heck of a lot better once trump came into office, particularly blue-collar types whose wages were rising slower than their supervisors under president obama, but were rising much faster than the wages for their supervisors under president trump. >> bill: so here is what brett personnel said from the trump team, now that biden is the only candidate left in the field, obama has no other choice but to support him, even bernie sanders beat him to it. obama was right in the first place, biden is a bad candidate who embarrassed himself and his party. president trump will destroy him. so they're going to say, it did not take a profound courage to pull this off today. i think it goes back to the question, what did you think of his hands off approach during this? >> well, i think it was probably wise, because he had to be the figure who unifies. there had to be somebody who is standing apart from this who had stature who could say let's all come together. what's interesting is, he sai

obama, what special skills does he bring. fund raising is one of them. what other skills he brings when joe bidentrying to generate excitement and enthusiasm. >> he's got a digital footprint and that's a enormous values in terms of fund raising and organizing. obama knows how to use these tools very well and he sells well on them. i expect you will see him pl playing a surrogate role online that'll be valuable in terms of building a fund raising base for biden and ordering the constituents for the democratic party. >> i assume he'll be an mated by the idea that this presidents to undo everything that has the obama name on it. >> obama has been looking forward to making the case and not just an affirmative case but a case for why steps had been taken since in his view has been destructive. i am sure you will hear that. the most important role that he can play is as a very, very credible testimonial to joe biden. the work that he did in the white house which was extensive running the recovery ak aandole some of the tough siassignmentse took on. that's where you will see him in the near term. thanks

is february biden's campaign had 20 million after that. president obama did not gloss that over. >> the other side has a massive war chest. the other side has a propaganda network with regard for the truth. on the other hand pandemics have a way of cutting through a lot of noise and spin. to remind us of what is real and what is important. >> reporter: obama said biden's character will guide america through dark times is a long recovery in the video has generated 10 million views but pooling support from former sanders supporters may be less easy. national press secretary's refusing to get on board despite sanders's endorsement of biden, she tweeted with the utmost respect for bernie sanders who is an incredible human being in genuine inspiration i don't endorse joe biden. i supported bernie sanders because he backed ideas like medicare for all, canceling all student debt and a wealth tax. biden supports none of those. sanders warned his followers not to sit on their hands saying it would enable donald trump's reelection, president obama appealed to sande

melissa: so, karl, so one of the things i wonder, is do people remember how slow the obama-biden recovery was? mathematically speaking it was the slowest, worst recovery in terms of gdp ever on record since the fed has been keeping track of those kind of things. and we saw the divide, the wage gap between rich and poor grow wider. median income didn't go anywhere t was totally flat, if not falling during most of that period, do people remember that, do they associate that with joe biden that was too long ago, that was yesterday? >> that is a long time ago but they have a general sense things got better once trump got into office. in the three or four years leading into the 2016 election, raising were rising5% faster for people in white-collar jobs, managerial jobs than the working man and women on the line. in the last three years they have been rising a quarter more faster than for the working man or working woman than they are for their supervisors. people have a sense that things in 17, 18, and 19 were pretty good until 2020 along came the virus. that will abettor standard and a better

with the obama-biden administration, the shovel-ready jobs as we all know were not shovel ready. it took years in order for those projects to get going. and they were new jobs. they went to sort of existing workers and there was a lot of evidence that something's got built. but he didn't really create very many jobs. i mean, we also remember about the obama-biden stimulus. that's where we all heard about solyndra. they are one of the companies under the clean energy portion of the act that you know got some funding. so your right to bm you know concerned, and definitely we would want a good check on this on where it's going and ant it's actually building things but you know there's going to be more stimulus and you know we've already seen, you know, that democrats aren't satisfied and they want to see more spending. if we're going to spend it on something, sean, i would guess that infrastructure would be a good way to do it. >> sean: i would like to see the $2.2 trillion. we saw how atrocious the democrats are, national endowment for the arts, the kennedy center, national endowme

barack obama knows they have to turn a vote for joe biden if gthey ang to take back the white house. ck obama: bernie has devoted his life to giving voice to hopes, dreams, frustrations of working people. reporter this was partly an tribute to joe biden but also a -- an attack on republican politics, withor ther president talking about the corruption and meanness of thty republican p it is time for americans to-- believe in a better world again. probably making democrats missin it even more. laura: still to come, why does d-19 make some people so much sicker than others? a new study in the u.k. is trying to find out. the international monetary fund says thelobal economy is heading for the worst receson since the great depression of the 1930's. this latest report, the institution says the pandemic has plunged the world into a crisis like no other. here's the imf chief economist. more details from the assessment. >> we project global growth in 2020 to fall to -3%. this makes the great lockdown the worsthe recession since great depression, and far wor g than tbal financial crisis. assumi

joe biden just tweeted in response to obama's endorsement it means the whole world to him and jill and no one else he would rather have by his side. as you remember well, when joe biden announced his candidacy earlier this month, one question that dogged him is why isn't obama endorsing him? the one answer he gave to me in january and any number of times in between was consistent, that he needed to show democrats that he wasn't taking this primary for granted and he could win it on his own merits. allies of the president, former president, were also very clear in that there is no one else other than perhaps michelle obama in terms of a singular figure in the democratic party who could accurately what was promising to be with so many candidates and difficult fight bring the party together as united. you see the president as part of that careful choreography the biden and sanders campaign worked out the last few weeks, letting sanders have his day last week, letting sanders endorse him, and now helping him essentially close the deal here. it was interesting not to just hear the praise fr

luck and they're still going to be out of luck because biden has said he'll veto medicare for all so i mean people who don't really remember the obama era very well might get excited about joe biden and as you said the democrats didn't challenge him on his record at all because they're hoping that those people don't remember the obama years very well and it's counting on people's amnesia is really a poor strategy for running a winning campaign i mean the only thing that i can think of they're going to try to make it all about the v.p. and then biden just kind of change into the background and whether they pick the 2nd in command completely circumventing the voters which is we're already hearing so much hype about people like stacy abrams who hasn't won any election in 10 kilometers who of course voters proved early on that they didn't like and that was fortunately cabaret took her out on the debate stage but nobody got a chance to take i think this arena so it wouldn't do it so i don't know that i think the democrats might have realized they can live with another term of donald trump because he hasn't you know and in any war and he

endorsing biden on a video release a short time ago scott, the interesting thing here is obama is positioning biden as the perfect leader for these virus times. here is what he said >> joe gets stuff done joe helped me manage h1n1 and prevent the ebola epidemic from becoming the type of pandemic we're seeing now >> he said democrats as a party don't need the same platform that obama ran on back in 2008 and positioning biden as somebody that can rebuild the economy saying that for the second time in the 12 years, the next president of the united states will have to rebuild a very damaged economy scott, back over to you. >> appreciate that jim is speaking with glaxo smith-klein about this >> i think this is a historic alliance the you tell us what each party brings to the equation >> we think it's unprecedented between of the world's biggest vaccine manufacturers. two leaders who are both bringing proven pandemic technologies and scale to develop a vaccine against covid-19 we also both bring significant manufacturing capacity and if we're successful, we're hoping to get to hundre

former president barack obama has endorsed his former vp, joe biden. en has the character and resilience to lead america through uncertain times. take a listen. >> if there's one thing we've learned as a country from moments of great crisis, it's that the spirit of looking out for one another can't be restricted it our homes or our workplaces or our neighborhoods or our houses of worship. it also has to be reflected in our national government. the kind of leadership that's guided by knowledge and experience, honesty and humility, empathy, and grace. that kind of leadership doesn't just belong in our state capitols and mayors' offices, it belongs in the white house. and that's why i'm so proud to endorse joe biden for president of the united states. >> well, obama didn't mention donald trump specifically, but he accused republicans of being interested in power, not progress. so, after obama's endorsement, biden tweeted, "we're going to build on the progress we made together." jeff zeleny has actually covered both men and has more on the significance of t

barack obama and joe biden led the global response. the failure of leadership is causing chaos around this country. it is so preventable, on so many levels. there is been a lot of stories recently delving into the administration's response. the life that have been lost. we are still going to be counting those in the coming months. this is life and as you said. how do you capitalize on it at the same time, you don't want to be crass. this is people's livelihoods, it is their health. about making is sure americans are safe. it is about making sure we do our best to mitigate the challenges that we have right now. and we need leadership that is honest with the american people. crisis management is about speaking clearly. it is about speaking accurately. it is about speaking compassionately. this president is 0-3. you see members of congress doing this. the vice president has outlined -- vice president biden has outlined a plan where we would lead the world, lead the global response. it should not be up to mayors and governors to be competi

. >> shannon: okay, former president obama endorsing joe biden.ormer vice president found the most progressive administration in history. first though, real news roundup, the 49er super bowl walk and february might have been a win. experts they are raising a super bowl victory complete with mass gatherings, raids, celebrations and thoroughly west coast might have cost lives. on the other hand, super bowl winner the kansas city chiefs from one of the last regions to rate actually get hit by the virus. nl food banks, getting creative and working to grow their own food in a new trend called pandemic burden. the company struggling to keep up with soaring demands. some of them have stopped taking orders. in an arizona in new form of food delivery and social distancing, a pizzeria sending robots out to make delivery. the pizza goes inside the little robot machine. the machine then navigates its way across town on sidewalks and roads and shows up right at the customer's front yard. nope. not motor? it's pronounced "motaur." for those who were born to rid

that biden's choice signals that. think barack obama selected joe biden because they came from different places. biden was more conservative than obama. encouraging if biden pick someone more progressive. seen candidates stumble around with this new reality technologically. how concerned are you with the inability ability or to reach out and campaign during this paralyzing time? rep. ocasio-cortez: this is a especiallyoncern, when it comes to congressional elections. there are a lot of states that have primaries coming up. implications for all of us across the board. the number one thing that is most important for us in every state in this country, and nationally, is to guarantee mail-i that we standardize thato compensate for the challenges in campaigning this year. even states like new york. states, the of declaration of waiving the excuse for absentee voting is completely insufficient i think for the challenges ahead of us. york, absentee ballots are not counted the same way mail-in ballots are in other states. they are not counted.

i'm jimmy fallon well guys, earlier today former president obama endorsed joe biden for president. ama said he knew biden was the right candidate once he was absolutely sure michelle wasn't running. you can tell the endorsement meant a lot to biden right after, he was like, "i know you guys really love me, because i only had to ask every day for two years. i like how obama endorsed biden now. that's like waiting until there's one second left in the super bowl and then saying, "okay, i'm rooting for the chiefs okay just for the record. this isn't good. healthy choice recalled over 130 thousand pounds of frozen chicken meals after customers found small rocks mixed in americans were like, "we make one healthy choice in five weeks, and this is what happens? we're eating rocks?" let me tell you guys something, with this toilet paper shortage, this is not a good time to have rocks in your system people who ate healthy choice meals filled with rocks knew something was up when their toilet looked like a fish tank [ light laughter ] burger king just introduced a new sandwich called the roast

lou: well, truthfully i think the obama/biden administration has a lot of questions to answer on a hostcy issues, and foremost among them, i believe, is china. this is, to me, an interesting question of politics. here is biden saying the president wants to push off the election, he just conjured that up. there's nothing that would provoke him, prompt him to say such a thing. for some reason he is, his campaign, i think, starting to understand that china may be one of his principal vulnerabilities in this election. your thoughts about its, the importance of it and the potential impact in advantaging president trump. >> well, i think even before the coronavirus was upon us china was going to be an important election -- an important issue in this election. lou, i think it's going to be a central issue in the election now not only for the issues we've discussed before on your program about trade and the military adventures, but the whole issue of covid-19 and the fact that at best, the best that china can say is that they bungled this and they covered it up, and they hid it from the rest of

think about the magic of obama/biden ticket but in reverse. biden/obama ticket.n i mentioned this to the chair woman of the michigan democratic party just offhanded in the discussion, i think the words out of her mouth were, oh, my gosh. that's the reaction you hear from democrats. she's sort of a transformational figure, she's above regular politics. i think the ugov or economist had done a global survey and found that she was the most popular woman in the world. if she decided to be joe biden's running mate, which she and all of her allies insist she doesn't want to be, she doesn't want to run for any office. she would be kind of head and shoulders above any other candidate and perhaps even head and shoulders above the top candidate. >> there's that. but based on what she has said before, it feels like ping your hopes to michelle obama on the ticket is like saying, you ain't gonna date no one who's name ain't beyonce. this is not happening. what does that tell you about the democratic party now. >> there are concerns that many people have about joe biden. you'v

we will hold him accountable for the horrific obama-biden record. eight years, 13 more million americans on food stamps, accumulated more debt than any other administration before them combined, and lois homeownership rate, 50 years, worst recovery since the '40s. for the next 200 plus days will continue to call out, yes, the democratic radical socialist party, the propaganda arm which, is the mainstream media, and quid pro quo's abuse of power and, yes, zero experience hunter who got filthy witch with zero experience. do you think the ms dmc, fake news cnn, "washington post," they protected him, they care about quid pro quo but not with joe and hunter. they care about obstruction of justice but not hillary's emails. they cared about russian interference but not hillary is bought and paid for their dossier usese to spy on an presidential candidate deep into his presidency. we are getting to the bottom of that. the sole mission, defeat donald trump, slander donald trump, but the stretch donald trump. same people even in the middle of a national crisi

so the bad news is, obama hasn't endorsed joe biden. the good news is joe biden has endorsed obama. it doesn't matter when he does it? i don't think there's any question that he's going to endorsed joe biden. >> emily: i think it does matter. and here's why i totally loved your intro song. do you remember in eddie and the cruisers, that song up that soundtrack, he was teaching eddie about the sustains and it was basically after the pause of what holds more weight? i assume that's what happening is the obama endorsement. of course it's inevitable but it will probably happen on the convention, post coronavirus, when democrats who are totally thirsty and ready for that messianic moment will laugh it up and it will dominate all the airwaves. joe biden, obviously what he has in front of him are the two biggest challenges. uniting the party but we've already seen him capitulate to burning and elizabeth warren on that. but it's finding -- and figuring out how to attack the president pulse coronavirus. >> juan: emily, we are having some technical problems there. dana, emily was making the p

president barack obama has endorsed his 2 term vice president joe biden and his bid for the white house in a video message obama said he believes biden is the candidate that america needs during the coronavirus crisis he also praised his former running mates leadership skills and empathy. those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after inside story. what impact is corona virus having on the world's climate and with planes grounded and dust real production reduced and emissions declined are there lessons that pandemic can teach us about living with nature moving forward this is inside story . hello and welcome to the program i'm richelle carey and as capital is one of the world's most polluted cities but it's guys have turned blue i mean the people can see the himalayan mountains for the 1st time and italy's venice canal.

biden. barack obama was new. he was untested on the national stage. he was very, very different. t because he was safe, a veteran of the united states senate. he picked joe biden because of so many years on the foreign relations committee, global experience, had the blue collar roots in pennsylvania. you address weaknesses with your vice presidential pick. and he's promised it will be a woman. >> one other reason obama picked biden is because he had been through a national campaign. he understood the crazy maelstrom that a national campaign is. he didn't want a candidate who was learning on the job. that could point biden in the direction of some of the women that he ran against, senator harris, senator klobuchar, senator warren, each of whom have different strengths. if he wants to appeal to the upper midwest where those battleground states are, klobuchar would be a strong candidate. so too would governor kregretch wilmer of michigan who has emerged. if he wants to move toward the progressive base, senator warren would be a strong choice. if he wants to galvanize voters of color,
