david shuster with me in the stew you. your thoughts. >> reporter: a couple of things, this is the last speech that joe biden has given where he gets this much attention. so there is a certain finality, and he now has to live for the rest of his life no matter what happens that he is not going to run. secondly, joe biden was extremely close to pulling the trigger on this. he had been doing donor meetings -- >> and he wanted to run. >> he wanted to run. his family encouraged him. yesterday, the widow of bo biden, she told newspapers in delaware we are 100% behind pops running do campaign. but biden realized again time has passed him by. it's very difficult to start late in the campaign, particularly when you are looking like at challenger like hillary clinton. and secondly, biden has been able to get all of this attention for the last several months, everybody bathed him in sort of positive light, what if he does this? he's very popular. the moment you declare you are a candidate, that dynamic changes. >> in fact it almost

. >> we'll switch over to david shust shuster. david, did you have any idea that mccarthy might pull out? that's the first question. the second question is, why did he do it so suddenly and abruptly. >> he could have won a majority of the republicans as michael was pointing out in the caucus. to win the speakership at the enof october he needs 218. when you have 247 members of your caucus, if 30 peel away you have less than 218 and therefore you have democrats that can conceivably keep mccarthy from winning the house speakership at the end of the month. that was the first thing. these 30 or 40 conservatives, they're members of the tea parties the freedom caucus formed earlier this year. keep in mind, randall, these are the same republicans that blocked the house republican leadership plans earlier this year for border security legislation because they believed it wasn't tough enough. they were leading the fight in the house to defund planned parenthood. they're the same group able to claim credit for forcing john boehner to step d

david shuster has been doing the fact checking.t's hard to hold the feet to the fire. >> bernie sanders may want the democratic party to move on from hillary clinton's emails, it will not be easy. 60% of americans believe she's dishonest. there's an fbi investigation, and hillary clinton may not have helped herself in terms of public opinions with how she handled the email scandal. watch it. >> well, i have taken responsibility for it, i said it was a mistake. what i did was allowed by the state department. it was not the best choice, i've been as transparent as i am known to be, turning over 50,000 emails asking for is to be public. >> but in fact she did not turn them over until asked by the state department, who were asked by investigators. hillary clinton said she was allowed to keep emails on a private server, that's technically true. larger issues is she instructed state department employees not to do the system that she deployed. it's lingering, hanging out there, there's unanswered questions lingering after tonight. >> cert

david shuster is in new york. michael shure is in washington. let's start with you david - i want to underscore the fact that hillary clinton was on the record as supporting the ttp, it had something to do with testing the winds and realising that the unions of what she needs is not solid. >> the support of d.p.p. was not once or scras. twice. -- once or twice. 45 different times she spoke out. now she is trailling bernie sanders to the left of her, in iowa and new hampshire. hillary clinton feels the need to tack to the left. given the pressure she was facing from labour groups, she decided now is the time to move. bernie sanders is more pro-labour, and a lot of people are wondering whether joe biden gets into the race. he's a member of the labour movement. you can count on labour holding back support, giving joe biden is are a chance to prove where he staned. >> michael shure, you are in a place we might not have bet would be exciting. we thought a routine thing was going to happen. kevin mccarthy was going to replace john boehner as house spe

let's bring in david shuster. david, let's chop this up a little bit. so if you're joe biden, we understand the grieving process. but if you take that off the table there are a couple of bench mark questions that need to be asked and answered. joe biden says to his team, is there enough time? can we put a team together ultimately can we win? >> let's take those in sequence. first the grieving process. he has been told by his family, specifically by the widow of bo biden, we're behind you 100% if you want to do that. well, his family was there. what about his chances of winning. he has been told repeatedly that the odds are slim. there is a chance that you could do this, but it's not going to be easy. there is no guarantee. hillary clinton is extremely strong. you're starting with no organization. and no money. and that is normally a recipe for disaster. so he goes in to this thinking, okay, i got my family. maybe i could handle the grieving process, it's over. but in the front of his mind, not the back of his mind, he's being told that the odds are very

let's bring in david shuster. take us 35,000 feet on this. >> here's the thing. if the almighty himself or herself went down to the house today, he or she could not get 247 votes in the republican caucus. >> who can get to 217? 247 is ridiculous. this idea of being unieueniteun. come on. >> the most conservative in this republican house, the 30 or 40, they say what john boehner has done over the past couple of years is surrender, wave the white flag to the obama administration. democrats would say, that's crazy. immigration passed in bipartisan fashion in the senate. boehner won't bring it up for a vote in the house. what boiner did try to bring up was a part of it, and the 40 conservatives blocked it because they said border security was not tough enough. they want to fight the democrats on everything. they don't care about government shutdowns, and they've now had another victory because they were able to force john boehner to call it quits a few weeks ago, and now they made kevin mccarthy realize that the establishment alone was not going to be enough to get m

david shuster joins us with more. so far it's the bernie and hillary show. >> indeed, and anyone that thought bernie sanders and hillary clinton would be nice to each other, almost. they have also gone after. you might think that hillary clinton was the progressive and bernie sanders the centrist. the firstish u, gunns, bandare -- first issue was guns, and bernie sanders was asked with gun manufacturers should be exempt from lawsuits. he said of course not. but he voted for a law saying that. hillary clinton went after him hard. she got the shots in. bernie sanders was on the defense. >> reporter: what about the other three, are they making impact. >> if you look at shavy, he made a marvel moment. they asked a little on the vote, against the iraq war, and jim webb is pointing out that the deal with iran over nukes is a bad one. but primarily, hillary clinton and bernie sanders - there was hillary clinton trying to explain flip flops. she said why did you felt like it, needing a better deal. when she said she thought t

. >> reporter: joe biden could have an impact on the 2016 race, david shuster explains what his decision means for clinton's campaign. >> joe biden's decision yesterday eliminates a big potential challenge to hillary clinton. she and her campaign repeatedly fear that biden takes establishment democrats away from her and possibly lift the fortunes of vermont senator bernie sanders. in her announcement she jabs at clinton for distancing on trade, arctic oil and u.s. involvement in syria. >> democrats should not only defend the record, and protect the record, they should run on the record. >> in a statement wednesday on twitter, clinton made no mention of joe biden's criticism: >>> vermont senator bernie sanders told reporters: >>> no matter how clinton does at the bench hearings, there's no place for establishment democrats to go. democratic candidate and former candidate martin o'malley raised concerns about the email system but bernie sanders is the progressive posing the challenge and bernie sanders took the email and benghazi off the table. it means the short-term pressure is gone as f

sense gun proposals not one of which would have done anything to int near with the last 12 appro shuster rist acts by people in the united states. not one. >> hue, i have a solution which i talked about on the five yesterday and i keep bringing it up which has to do with muting the media response to such things almost treating it as a mundane event like a tragic event that you have to move on from. president obama has used this very same argument when discussing isis. don't play up isis's deeds because they encourage recruitment. that's the same argument one could use here the more you play up their deeds you encourage recruitment into what is an isolated death cult. >> it is 100 percent correct. eric harrison is laughing at home somewhere. when nbc news made the move when the virginia tech killer to show the videotape they have crossed a line they have subsequently come back from. the president walking out giving a performance trying to be the most outraged performance in america the most grieving person in america is not the way to disincentivize shooters like that. the president shoul

and executive director of the new york state democratic party, plus our own david shuster joining usll. david let me start with you. a small number of mega donors what sort of impact are they going to have on this campaign? >> they certainly have the potential to have a major impact and arguably they already have, just to know date effectively whatever they want to political organizations. we know super pacs most prominently, but also political active non-profit organizations that in the post citizens united world of politics we have had for five-odd years now, they have the ability to play a much much larger role for better or worse of an incredible amount of money they can bring to advocate for or against politicians. and a lot of these super pacs have very, very close relationships with the candidates both on the right and left. >> but it doesn't sound like the voters care. >> voters know there is a lot of money in politics. what they are looking for are queues from the candidates as to how motivated they are by this money. campaigns and elections have changed probably forever bec

david shuster has that story. >> closed doors a few blocks from the capital the most conservative members of the house are again flexing their muscles. >> the questions we will ask will represent the 60%. republicans that i think the washingtonian republicans had portrayed. >> the congressman from kansas part of the freedom caucus, the hardcore conservatives are demanding all candidates for house speaker personally commit to fighting democrats harder than ever. >> i don't want a pledge. i want it on paper. ethics putting your principles on paper ahead of time. >> the freedom caucus represents a slice of the 247 republicans in the house. but there social media conservative talk radio and outside organizations the group has amplified its power. >> while the republicans have a big majority, if a certain segment of that majority is willing to play ball they can exercise control over what happens or what doesn't happen as we look ahead. >> earlier this year the freedom caucus, members felt it was not tough enough. last month the caucus tried to eliminate funding for planned parenthood. >> peop

so lawmakers including bill shuster believe that they can come together, the two chambers, and work out deal before thanksgiving. >> the bill is called the highway bill, the transportation bill. so broadly, what are some of the programs covered under this highway bill? >> as you mentioned, there are highway and transit covered under this. it would renew the spending authority for those programs, but also included is an extension for positive train control technology. so this is an anti-derailment, anti-collision safety technology that railroads currently have a december 31st deadline to implement, but the majority of railroads said they will not be able to meet that deadline. so congress is acting to extend it for them and tacking that provision onto this highway extension. >> the positive train control was a factor in that may amtrak crash in philadelphia. did the delay in implementing the ptc, how long is it? and is likely to be part of a long-term transportation bill? >> right, the extension is a three-year extension. the measure that passed out of the house would include the potenti

and i'd like to extend my thanks to our colleagues on the house side, representative shuster, defazio, denim and capuano for their strong bipartisan leadership in collaboration to address this major transportation issue. this issue's been extensively debated in the senate and this proposal incorporates principles and text that have twice been reported out of the commerce committee and have passed the full senate in july by a vote of 65-34. now, let me repeat that. everything we're talking about right here today -- and it's been modified a little bit when we negotiated this with the house -- but the basic text, basic framework, basic outline of what we just passed had already passed the senate as part of the transportation bill with 65 votes earlier this year. so the idea that this is somehow something that is being sprung on members here in the senate is just not consist went the facts. -- consistent with the facts. i'm grateful to senators blunt and mccaskill to help bring colleagues together to make sure p.t.c. is made safely available as soon as possible. now, some have suggested d

but you had people like bill shuster in paul ryan say that would not really happened.f that did not cause any movement on the gas tax, it is tough to say when we will get any. even the tax reform package is a one-time fix. it would infuse the highway trust fund for six years, and then in six years, they would have to figure out a way to fund transportation projects in the future. there is something called vehicle miles traveled, where you would be taxed not in the amount of gas you buy but the amount you drive. that a was runs into privacy issues, people worried about whether you have some transponder in your car tracking your movements. that is very early in the development stage, but there seems to be a consensus that they need to find a way to pass a long-term bill now, and then they need to start talking about what they're going to do to pay for transportation projects in the future. this toe component of d, oror it, is that dea is that alive but simply not done yet? guest: it is not dead. host: it is on life support. [laughter] guest: that is a weird thing. it was

david shuster, al jazeera. >> presidential candidate ben carson is on the defensive again this morning after what he said about last week's campus shooting in oregon. >> washington, d.c. could soon be the first city in the country to mandate paid family leave time. the district council is considering a bill requiring employers that offer 16 weeks off with pay to most workers. the benefit would be available to new parents and those caring for a sick family member. they would be paid a maximum of $3,000 a week. the money would come from a new business tax of up to 1% -- on up to 1% of an employee's wages. >> california is taking a major step today towards ensuring a quality in the workplace. governor jerry brown has signed one of the toughest gender equity bills into law requiring equal pay for substantially similar work. it allows people to challenge perceived pay discrimination without fear of getting fired. brown says the law is aimed at closing the age gop between men and women. >> the auto industry is bracing for its first strike in eight years. by midnight, workers could walk off t
