biden, you said on the "today" show joe biden will not run if she decide toss run. he's in a holding pattern independents b independents. >> he would be older than ronald reagan if he decides to run in 2016. hillary clinton would be a year younger. both of them have to make that personal decision. >> and andrew cuomo and a lot of others are waiting in the lineup. >> you talk to people around joe biden, he's well aware of the northwestibility factor that would follow hillary clinton if she got in, and people you need to run a national campaign, they're going to be looking at the same pool of donors, of people to run this campaign. they really are the same person. one's just going to be a stronger front runner, but by the way, and this is the thing that sort of i think people underestimate with joe biden. if hillary doesn't run, he will be the front-runner. yes, is he vulnerable? yes, but so was george h.w. bush. >> chris, i was in the audience last flight. if you would have told me going in who would have given the most resonant vigorous speech to that crowd of mostl

republican against hillary, republican against joe biden? >> well, i think despite all this enthusiasm, i think it's a bit early to come to these conclusions. a lot can happen. i imagine the republicans will work incredibly hard to ensure that she's painttainted in some. i think what it does mean is a woman willing to speak about women issues, to connect reproductive freedom to economic rights and women's rights to human rights can get a substantial amount of progressives and this would be a wonderful thing because i think those issues really need to take center stage giving profound levels of women and her connection of the state department to women's global issues i think is very important and i hope this excitement is a sign that those issues will become central stage in domestic and global politics. >> it's interesting tricia says that because hillary clinton did speak about working for women's rights in a speech last night. listen to this. >> our unwavering faith in the potential, the untapped potential of women and girls is at the hear

the problem is that joe biden's people, the people who would raise the money for joe biden, the elected officials who would support joe biden are also in hillary clinton's camp and as hillary learned in 2008, you can't stand in the way of history. if hillary clinton gets out there and has a chance to become the first woman president, i think it's going to be very difficult. most of joe's strong backers will probably tell him, look, joe, this is a time for hillary clinton, a woman president, and i've got to be with her. and then it becomes very lifl difficult to run that race. i still believe there's a chance that hillary says no. so joe should be preparing. but in the end -- >> lauren, that compelling argument of a woman president, that might just be the thing that tips hillary clinton over the line and say i'm going for it? >> look at all of the things that she has done at the state department, as a senator, as a first lady to champion women's rights. that is a very, very important issue for her. and don't you think that at the end of her life, at the end of her days if she looked back

listen to joe biden's comments. we do have a second amendment to our constitution. 99.9% of americans that own guns are law-abiding. they don't commit crimes. nothing there's being passed, as i mentioned earlier, nothing they're discussing would have prevented aurora, newtown. it's all feel good legislation. but here it is, state-run media, joe biden on nbc. >> it used to be we were dealing almost exclusively, joe, with hunters. when i did this the first time in '94, it was the one group i had to go speak to, make sure they were satisfied with what we were doing, were hunters. there's a whole new sort of group of individuals now who -- i don't know what the numbers are -- that never hunt talks but they own guns for one of two reasons, self-protection, or just like the feel of the ar-15 at the range. they like the way it feels. they just -- you know, it's like driving a ferrari. >> sean: maybe they like freedom. ever think of that? is that a potential option? >> i got to say, i wish the answer to him had been, mr. vi

. >> what do you do if it becomes hillary versus joe biden. he'll be on the stage with her tonight at the kennedy center. >> i think most of us care very deeply about both of them. but as i said, i don't think he can stand in the way of history. i think the time has come for a woman president. the only one on the horizon right now who could fill that role is hillary clinton. and i think joe is going to hear that from a number of people, his supporters and hillary's supporters as well. and he's going to have to make that decision, it's tough to stand in the way of history. we found that out in 2008. >> and haley barbour, one who knows politics very well, is hillary clinton the kind of candidate who would clear the field, should she run? >> well i would have thought that in 2008. and in fact i'm one who said she'll win the 2008 democratic nomination going away. that's not what happened. a different historical strain prevailed i wouldn't bet against ms. clinton. one thing i've learned is it's way too early to be talking about presidential politic

jetting off to lavish vacation and joe biden spending $5,000 a night in paris and president obama 8 million dollars on a hawaii vacation while secret service agents can't stay in washington d.c. with their families at christmas time. we're seeing that people who plan their spring break around coming to washington d.c. to see the white house can't do it because they're closed because the president has decided we need to save money. >> sean: since the beginning of the year, if you include the whole obama family, that's two vacations a month, we have to help pay for, hang on a second. >> i'm sorry. >> sean: and if you include the bidens, that's one vacation every month and another one for next month. how many vacations do you take a year, powers? 'cause i don't get that many i. >> you know, i go to alaska to see my family, but-- >> once a year, maybe twice. >> no, i get to alaska a lot. i have two little nieces i have to see. but, my point is, i just, the idea that you're getting upset about the girls, i have a real problem with. and-- >> i'm giving you the same picture, i'm giving you

without him i never could have played joe biden. literally. hi, i'm joe biden. >> the hardest part? trying to understand his motivations. why did he pursue health care first? what makes him tick? why doesn't he get mad? if i were him, i'd be mad all the time. but i'm not him. i'm daniel day-lewis. >> well, it's a remarkable transformation. do i really sound like that, though, honey? well -- groucho marx once said -- senator cruz that's groucho marx, not carl. that's the other guy. he once told an audience "before i speak i have something important to say." and along those same lines i want to close on a more serious note. obviously there's been no shortage of news to cover over these past few weeks. and these have been some very hard days for too many of our citizens. even as we gather here tonight, our thoughts are not far from the people of boston and the people of west, texas. there are families in the midwest who are coping with some terrible floods. so we've had some difficult days. but even when the days seem darkest, we have seen humanity shine at its brightest. we've seen fi

look at the polling about hillary and joe biden. hillary clinton polling 64%, joe biden at 18% if you matched them as candidates. elizabeth warren 5, andrew cuomo, 3. everyone not named hillary clinton on the poll has a lot to think about here. >> yeah. i mean, if hillary runs, and i think she will run, she's certainly setting herself up. >> she's running, she's already running. >> i'm glad we're there. >> we don't fall for the masquerade. >> i don't think most of those individuals decide to run even if she's in the race, or if they do, it is a way to get their name out there for a future contest. joe biden, i can't imagine biden and hillary, head to head, he would step back when she does run. in terms of her inevitability for the primary, i think she's there. we thought that in 2008 and it didn't work out, but this time i really do think she's inevitable. she's going to be out of politics the next four years, she's going to be speaking in front of adoring crowds like this. she can wade in when she wants to. republicans can't lay a

every time joe biden and hillary clinton walk into the room, that's the only thing anybody talks about. what's what happened last night. good morning from washington, it's wednesday, april 3rd. a jack packed edition. which one of you opens on thursday. go to send it in. let's get right to the first read of the morning. with gun legislation stalled, president obama heads to denver to tell congress to act more like colorado. a state with a long tradition of gun rights that expanded background checks to all private gun sales and place restrictions on high capacity magazines. the president will speak before heading to san francisco for four fund-raisers tonight and tomorrow. just miles from the movie theater, the president will take his message to connecticut where families of the newtown shooting have been invited to join him. jay carney was peppered with questions about whether momentum for restrictions is stalled because the president has not been involved enough on this issue. i have a list of everything the president and vice presidency has done. january 19th, january 26th. january 28

what happens to andrew cuomo to joe biden and bigger names who runs against her? >> there are two new yorkers who are thinking of running for president, andrew cuomo and the united states senator. when you run you have to raise money. the two best states to raise money is new york and california. if milk runs, take could you cue mow and jill brand and joe biden is a sitting vice president. he has profile. that would be two behemouths. >> michael: thank you, i'm glad i got you to talk about it. that was a victory. senators who have not endorsed gay marriage, the ones we were talking about the train has all but left the station. that story and more when we come back after the break. real immigration reform? >> with a distinctly satirical point of view. if you believe in state's rights but still believe in the drug war you must be high. >> only on current tv. >> michael: welcome back inside "the war room." i'm michael shure. look at these issues. this is from then and now. imagine how stupid you're going to look in 40 years. it's been around for a couple of years, bu

joe biden doesn't need to race out there either. he has high name recognition. if he is out of the mix, her poll numbers shoot up really high. he can afford to wait a little bit, too. aall the other kind of wannabes they'll just be out of luck. they'll have to wait four more years. >> i want to bring in pally soils doyle, hillary's former campaign manager. as i watch her, we're talking about the fact she said and many people said she deserved a rest after almost a million miles as secretary of state, not to mention, senator before that and first lady are before that. do you think she wants to go through this again? >> you know, i just have to say i have no idea what she's going to do, but i hope she does do it. i think she better than anybody knows what a presidential race needs in terms of the physical toll. but let's face it, hillary clinton is the hardest working woman in show business. i've never seen her -- and i've worked for her for a long time -- have hard work shy away from anything. >> do you think it matters to her she could be the first woman preside

without them, i never could have played joe biden. literally. i am joe biden. >> the hardest part, trying to understand his motivations. what makes them tick? why doesn't he get mad? if i was him, i get mad all the time. but i am not. i am daniel day-lewis. [laughter] [applause] >> remarkable transformation. do i really sound like that? groucho marx once said -- senator cruz, that is groucho marx, not karl. the other guy. he once told an audience, before i speak, i something important to say. along those same lines, i want to close on a more serious note. there has been no shortage of news to cover over the past few weeks. the suspense and very hard days -- these have been some very hard daysfor many of our citizens. even as we gather here tonight, our thoughts are not far from the people of boston and the people of west, texas and the families in the midwest coping with some terrible floods. we have had some difficult days. but even when the days seemed darkest, we have seen humanity shine at its brightest. we have seen first responders and nat

i love joe biden. he has a very nice wife as well. so a shout-out to those guys, to joe biden for being a good sport.

[ cheers ] it's fun. well, we use twitter on our show every single week, so if you watch our show and you want to play along, we do this thing every wednesday night where i send out a hashtag and we ask you guys to tweet out things based on that topic. so, because it's spring and that means it's allergy season starting up, a lot of people going to see their doctors. last night i went on twitter and started a hashtag called "my doctor is weird." i asked you guys to tweet out something weird, funny, or embarrassing, about your doctor. i tweeted out that my doctor wanted me to give him a positive yelp review. what's wrong with people? >> steve: because the rest of them were horrible? >> jimmy: y

without them i never could have played joe biden literally. hi, i'm joe biden. >> the hardest part, trying to understand his motivations. why did he pursue healthcare first? what mixes him tick? why doesn't he get mad? if i were him i would be mad all the time. but i'm not. i'm daniel day-lewis. [ applause ] >> a remarkable transformation. do i really sound like that, though, honey? wow. grouchomarx once said and that is groucho, senator cruz, not karl, the other guy, groucho marx once told an audience before i speak i have something important to say. along the same lines i want to close on a more serious note. obviously no storage of news to cover over the past few weeks and these have been hard days for too many of our citizens. even as we gather here tonight our thoughts are not far from the people of boston and the people of west, texas. there are families in the midwest who are coping with some terrible floods. so we have had some difficult days. but even when the days seemed darkest we have seen humanity shine at its brightest. we have s

government isolitics, like putting thatening in joe biden's home state. we have green energy created by the natural sector. call would natural gas. windmillings were invented in the medevial times and railroad 19th century technology. let the private sector determine what workings. if people don't like it they don't buy it. >> sawrittena, it is it a fact that middle class taxpayers ended up subsidizing spoil would celebrity like leo dicrap pro and justin bieber. they are the only ones that could afford the cars and these are the people we were subsidizing. >> you read my mind. clearly bad habits die hard in the obama administration. they can't seem to get beyond the mistakes. but what comes to mind here in dc is the political and there are serious green energy cronyism going on. the $529 million loan was a drop in the bucket. president obama gave out over 34 billion in green energy products and four out of the five companies in this current scandal are obama donors. we are seeing -- >> the political ramifications of all of this. to steve's point. win powe

but enough about joe biden. all in all, we're proud of the change we've brought to washington in these first hundred days but we've got a lot of work left to do, as all of you know. so i'd like to talk a little bit about what my administration plans to achieve in the next hundred days. during the second hundred days, we will design, build and open a library dedicated to my first hundred days. it's going to be big, folks. in the next hundred days, i will learn to go off the prompter and joe biden will learn to stay on the prompter. in the next hundred days, our bipartisan outreach will be so successful that even john boehner will consider becoming a democrat. after all, we have a lot in common. he is a person of color. thatugh not a color appears in the natural world. what's up, john? in the next hundred days, i will meet with a leader who rules over millions with an iron fist, who owns the airwaves and uses his power to crush all who would challenge his authority at the ballot box. it's good to see you, mayor bl

on biden's nod to a new world order he said, "vice president joe biden threw caution to the wind friday as he shockingly declared the affirmative task we have now is to actually create a new world order adding yet another admission to an already long list of documented globalist bragging of plans for a centralized one world global government." to jones and his cohorts, any cooperation among governments and multinational banks is evidence that this one world government is in the works. >>> also, what can brown do for you? congressman paul brown, that is, the georgia republican who said evolution and the big bang theory for, "lies straight from the pit of hell." brown carved out time at a recent town hall meeting to rally against obama care, specifically a recently withdrawn proposal that would have provided coverage for sex-change operations. why his operation -- why his opposition? brown put it like this. "i don't want to pay for a sex-change operation. i'm not interested in. i like being a boy." in other words, why should i pay for something if i personally don't directly benefit? by t

if joe biden asks, there are no extra tickets for that either. quick announcements before we get going and continue, if any of you are live tweeting this event, please use the hash tag incapable of living in the moment. yes, yes. any u.s. senators if you would like to switch your dessert or position on gay marriage, please signal a waiter. by the way, speaking of dinner, tonight ''s entries with hali but or fillet mignon or as john king reported it, kous kous. there's a gavel here and i don't know why. here's a fun fact about tonight's food. everything you ate this evening was personally shot by wayne lapierre. don't worry, it was during a home invasion though. the fish came in through the window. it wasn't pepper corn, that was buck shot, ladies and gentlemen. incidentally, wayne lapierre is the executive vice president of the nra, which begs the question, how freaking crazy do you have to be to the actual president of the nra? he's not even at the top. i'd like to acknowledge earlier this evening there was confusion with the seating chart, for

and joe biden come on and i am not sure if we have a full screen of this guys if we can put it up. so this idea according to joe biden there's a national registry, there's no plate in the federal government you can go and find out everybody owns a gun. >> joe biden really believes having a national -- having all of these background checks will not creation a registry of information, of gun owners in this country. >> it doesn't do it so far. we are giving become ground checkser they are done lek tranic chi. the record the she can was made and taken apay in a few more days. the actual gun was made with a gun dealer not the evidence. that's a bogus issue. will of you are. do you agree with that? >> no. i don't agree you have to keep the records for up to 20-year cans. live regular siz v i see visits and figure out who hasn't or wasn't purchased the gun over the was 20-years. bide ten is wrong it another account there has ab to be a you need to know i am telling the gun to a neighbor another at the running toward me. a prime is committed. protecting, i am not sure how this doesn't come

we'll hear more from joe biden and bring new information on how the bombs were detonated. this is "way too early". thank you for being up with us this april 25th. we are looking at the relationship between the marathon bombing and legislation on immigration reform. the questions lawmakers are asking that could put the proposal in jeopardy. george w. bush talks about his brother's bid. what he thinks of a bush-clinton match up in 2016. let's get to the top story at porock. before we get to the boston investigation. two fuel barges near mobile, alabama leaving three critically wounded. they decided to let the barges burn overnight creating a safety zone around the area. the cause of the blasts have not been determined. we know one of the natural gas barges was docked in the mobile river. dramatic images of the explosion. now to the latest in the boston marathon investigation. we are learning more about what u.s. agencies knew about the tsarnaev brothers before the attack. russian authorities asked u.s. intelligence twice about tamerlan tsarnaev, the older of the two suspects

he compounded the error by sending joe biden off to conduct a study. an unnecessary delay when solutions were obvious. once the president took his foot off the accelerator, no other action, not even bloomberg's ad campaign could maintain the momentum. the blame according to him lies with the white house. >> i don't buy it. legislating is complicated. it takes time and there's no more complicated legislation than gun control. there's a lot of particulars to go through and serious disagreements and the nra is able to put up roadblocks at many, many points. i don't see that argument at all. this is a very tough thing to do. it's still possible, i think, in the senate, particularly, the house is a whole different story. in the senate i still think it's possible. tom coburn of oklahoma is the key here. my understanding is that if coburn agrees to a background checks legislation package with schumer, that enough republicans would join that, maybe to hit 60. >> maybe to hit it, but jimmy, we were talking in the break about alternative gun legislation that cou
