cross talking joe biden i'm joined by my guest jan kearns in new york she is a g.o.p. strategist contributor to the daily caller as well as founder of women for a great america in washington we have jason nichols he's a democratic political strategist also in washington we cross to walter some a lot of he is a answer coalition organizer or across the rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate jen let me go to you 1st i mean i said in my introduction here i mean you know you have you have a lot of gaffes coming from joe biden and he's been known for it ok it's not you know all of a sudden but the intensity of them are is mounting and that maybe just because of the media's watching more closely i'm trying to be really fair here but we i think we have every right to know about the mental facilities the capabilities of someone that is running for the highest office in the land i mean how do you come out on this go ahead john. well i agree i said last tuesday on super tuesday that the good news was for joe biden he won the primaries

biden for not voting for joe biden is voting a goes against your own self-interest i'm going to ask you about the obama endorsement today and the timing of it did it come at the right time for joined by . no doubt about it i admire the president for what he did i thought it was the appropriate thing for him to do from the titular head of the party and you know what it was the fair and right thing for him to do he waited and it was brilliant absolutely brilliant but he waited until today when he knew that it was only joe biden left in the race and it was time for him to step up and step up he did and the impact of his indorsement today we will be felt all the way to looking for 13 months and years to come you know with thing or 2 about emergency preparedness at the white house. what happened in the truck white house would this would this pandemic disaster would it have happened under vice president al gore or vice president biden do you think. you know that's a fair question i want to be very very fair to the president on this part of it and that is look if this is not his bypass and

joe biden and the democrats i'm joined by my guest richard goodstein in old bridge he is a democratic strategist and a former adviser to bill and hillary clinton and in new york i'm joined by how when she was in city she is in american journalist with r.t. her writings are collected at how one of destroy dot com or across something else in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it but let me go to you 1st. you have to tell me you're really super excited about joe biden is your nominee right i mean really ok because your party got. peter i am super excited when i look at the polls and i see that the american people have come to their senses i guess you know i'm not donald trump's biggest fan and when i see. notwithstanding the fact that there is this usual rally around the flag it gracing a president during a time of crisis and that's happening in every other country on the planet and virtually every state in the united states. and out the back down to where they've been and joe biden is beating him by 6789 whites in some of the big respectable polls

joe biden clearly gets it. the question does he understand the depth of it, does he have the team to do it? he has spoken in recent days as senator sanders was debating what to do, about being a bridge, the bridge to a younger generation of democrats. the question, he has a big choice. he's now starting the vetting process for a vice presidential pick. that could be one way to reach out to the sanders base. there's the sanders people, including alexandria ocasio-cortez of new york, who has been quite critical of joe biden and what he represents. how does he, and maybe the flip side is elizabeth warren, who has been much more complimentary, how does he find a way with progressive democrats to say i get it. we may not agree on everything, but my door is open. you will be at the table. >> let's be clear. there is, i think it's fair to say, a minority of sanders supporters who joe biden will never get. you know, as we were going through the process, i was texting with somebody who was a bernie sanders delegate in 2

i believe joe biden. >> this is the way a lot of people have been get away with supporting joe biden but here's the new york times on that excuse is being used, they say it is inaccurate to claim reporting cleared biden of sexual assault, talking points being circulated by the biden campaign >> the new york times investigation found the allegations did not happen. our investigation made no conclusion either way. how are they going to continue to spin this based on that? >> i don't know when the new york times became the feds, they are not the fbi or investigation organization that is there to do an investigation to determine if it is credible or not. i appreciate that they did come forward and say we did not agree with the statement that stacy abrams made but secondly stacy abrams knows this, the new york times doesn't get to decide to do independent investigations, this is something, special investigator of actual law enforcement to determine if those allegations are credible or not. they -- the bottom line, let's be honest about it, they don't have an issue with what joe biden has

and the media to frame the narrative because joe biden has a. changed to the same guy but the perception of him is being radically altered and it's being done intentionally and it's being done at bernie's expense go ahead and be. 100 percent and you know that narrative started after south carolina where you had the entire establishment as well as the mainstream media. really changed the whole game in favor of joe biden they gave him like over $70000000.00 of basically free hasa to publicize framing him as the best candidate and that really is the reason i think he did so well because if you look at the polls between a week ago and then super tuesday they were drastically different joe biden got a huge bomb from the media portraying him as like the winner of the whole primary after south carolina a lot of people didn't even choose they were going to vote for until 2 or 3 days before super tuesday so that helped joe biden immensely plus you had the entire democratic establishment openly in our faces. with other candidates to drop out to benefit jo

that included joe biden. more on the justice department case against lieutenant-general general michael flynn. it is eroding and eroding fast. the mystery of the whereabouts of north korean leader kim jong-un. he has not been seen in weeks. thank you for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald. this is "the evening edit" and it starts right now. elizabeth: all right. let's welcome republican representative greg stuebe. thanks for coming on, sir. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: where, how come the house democrats are not coming back to work yet? states are opening up. businesses want to open up. senate is coming back to work. why is nancy pelosi's house-led democrats not get being back to work yet? >> that is a great question, we were supposed to be up there we were told may 4th. everybody started making plans, suddenly the democrats didn't want to do that. because i don't know of stay-at-home order in virginia and d.c. or didn't think all the things through, with committee rooms and meeting with social distan

to vote for joe biden in november. she will vote for the presumptive democratic presidential nominee, coming up in a of every election. that came just moments ago in this live stream instagram talk that she was having. it was the start of about an hour long discussion today, where they were talking about the things that candidate could do, so on and so forth. aoc, as she is known, is one of the more left progressives in the house. she's now going to vote, she says, for joe biden in november. we move on. six states will begin reopening their economies tomorrow, including texas, georgia, alas alaska. president trump says heat disagree strongly with curtis governor, and his plan to allow businesses such as bowling alleys and hair salons to reopen one day after praising that decision. watch the president. >> do i agree with him? know. but i respect him, and i will let him make his decision. what i do that? no, i would keep them in longer. i want to protect people's lives. i want to let him make his decision. i told him i t

that when coronation with the democratic party to help joe biden say with amy close . you also have elizabeth warren staying in the race as in order to try to obstruct sanders exactly that's exactly what she did joe biden wasn't supposed to win in the northern states the only reason he did it is because elizabeth warren took a chunk of support away from various and as progressive base that a lot of warm milk orders would have gone to sanders he probably would have won massachusetts in minnesota. stayed in the race let's go to the line all right now lionel you must be eating a whole lot of popcorn is watching this because i mean over the last few days to a number of gaffes that biden is committed i mean it's embarrassing to watch but you never see those gaps on c.n.n. and b. c. you see a lot of it on fox and the internet but i mean this is a judge who was a manufactured candidate joe biden is now with avatar for the d.n.c. go ahead lionel my dear. dear friend peter nobody cares about the game nobody cares about the amount of props nobody nobody cares about this you are

accusation against joe biden which the liberal media will not talk about will not talk about it and i remember very clearly the cabinet hearings i was very passionate about the rule of law and the presumption of innocence here but you have the liberal media that does it simply does not want to talk about it ok and they only like the new york times watching cause they only started talking about it when bernie dropped out what a coincidence here so i'm very disturbed by that cover the liberal media in a free pass that they give joe when they hammer trump every single day maybe rightly maybe wrongly but they hammer him ok the media is playing a very important role in this election as well go ahead. yes and that's a double standard and that's just pointing to the further discrediting of the media i mean everybody probably recalls 20 still it was 0 not 5 percent certainty that hillary clinton was going to win that everybody loves hillary hillary is just great and then of course election day 'd came and that wasn't the case so i mean the media running interference for biden in doing this ve

biden it is good news for joe biden joe biden will now hopefully i'm sure he will cooperate with bernie sanders bernie sanders has said he will cooperate with joe biden that's important he made this a lure to having a really really broad grassroots movement rather than just a campaign and then he was that he won the ideological battle not so sure about this but nevertheless a lot of young people and to the yes the newcomers to politics are sanders supporters and they want significant change and if sanders can bring this into the campaign and into the democratic platforms into the democratic party then that's a good thing for joe biden and will only increase his chances to against. donald trump in november good talking to you thanks for that the stuff and simmons and washington. now let me take you through some of the latest developments in the corona virus a pandemic sweeping the world the global death toll is now more than 83000 with nearly a 1000000 and a half confirmed infections since the outbreak began a new finance ministers a failed civil grid joint plan to ease the pandemics eco

you know, joe biden has been preparing for this moment his entire life. i've been privileged to work with him over the last 25 plus years. as first lady, then, for eight years in the senate where i watched him build coalitions and work to bring people together and solve problems. then, during the obama administration when i was privileged to be secretary of state. i've been in the situation room with joe as we debated. and you know, we didn't say what we thought people wanted to hear, we said what we believed, and we had a president then, with president obama will encourage that. think of it. he wanted to hear from each and every one of us. i've been in the lobby of the senate, i've been in the cloakroom, and i've watched a joe bring people together. so, for me, this is a moment that we need a leader, a president like joe biden. i also know a lot about joe the person. i've seen him up close and personal now for many years. we have a lot of the same values in common. the same or catholic, the same beliefs in america, the same focus on family, and we share

well i agree i said last tuesday on super tuesday that the good news was for joe biden he won the primaries and i also said at the same time the bad news is he won the primaries and that the spotlight would soon be getting super hot on him and his numerous gaffes i mean this is a man who wakes up and on a daily basis is not too sure what state he zen he mistakenly called his wife his sister last week and the list of gaffes really go on and on and on and luckily there are always video cameras around to to record those and you're very right peter they have hawker see from the left is rich here because they began calling president trump then candidate trump crazy in june of 2015 shortly after his announcement here in new york city that he wanted to run for president of the united states and that is something that continued through his inauguration in january of 2017 and really has continued through the entire impeachment investigation you know talking about his mental faculties talking about his fitness to be president and other mental health issues and so you know what's good for the goose is

and drawing joe biden to the left. that will be a fascinating development as you get toward him accepting the nomination. >> melissa: i wonder how joe biden takes the narrative. we so i'm doing interviews, i think it was last weekend. the clips that went out, they had a lot of nonsensical answers. where you were trying to figure out where he was going or what he was trying to say. he had this phone call with president trump, they didn't reveal a lot about what was sa said. at this point we are so focused -- and rightly so -- on this pandemic and getting through it, and the economic challenge, that this is the first time we've done -- especially lead with -- a political story in a very long time. i'm just wondering, how does joe biden get attention back on him? >> expect funding, outside groups to start running a lot of ads about joe biden. it's already started. i've seen a couple. expect there to be a real effort to spend now, to kind of shore them up. this primary race is over. think about how long we spent looking at

what does kat look liz warren look better but i make joe biden look worse. greg: people forget that liz destroyed bloomberg over sexual harassment claims. and he would have been a better president than biden. but now biden is being accused of sexual assault and she is not saying anything. kat: it's like she wants to be elected and will just say stuff. i think she would be an excellent vp. joe is an old white guy, and a woman of color would add some diversity to the ticket and that would be excellent. i don't truly believe that anyone truly believe that what we need in this time of crisis is only if joe biden were in charge. you can have problems with the way trump handled things. you can have problems with the way a lot of people handled things. because everybody got this wrong. i hate the narrative from the democrats that they were blowing the whistle on this. in february you were only talking about impeachment. it's a bunch of garbage. we need to focus on solving these things. the one thing joe biden could do to help us through this that trump can't. he's

truth is here this is a story this is a real thing that joe biden has not had to. address because the media is not asking him about it he is done countless interviews since this story emerged and not once has anybody asked him hey you have been accused of this you want to give us your side of the story might be specific about that c n n has a town hall meeting ok they can ask him anything they want they ask him about everything except this after the story had broken shut totty m s n b c chuck todd has him on this very personal kind of interviews talking about everything everything about his life but he never asks him one time about this woman who has accused made this accusation that is legitimate there's no i mean if it's not like there were no witnesses ok there were no direct witnesses but that day she wouldn't talk to people she told them what happened and when they when she tried to push back she met a total stonewall remember joe biden is the guy who crucified anita hill ok don't forget that that has been part of the story anyway what c.n.n. m s n b c the int

biden can win in effect by doing nothing but being joe biden. do you subscribe at all to the theory that during this time by not being ubiquitous, by not being overblown, that's the path for joe biden? >> well, he doesn't have responsibility directly in this crisis like a president or a governor does. so he's not going to be, you know, i think as newsworthy day to day. that being said, the video today is already, i think, north of 10 million views with the former president. they've put out some really great content. joe biden's doing a lot of interviews. so i think he's getting out there as he can. but because the party's unified, we've now got a little more time than we thought we might to plan for the general election, and that's doubly important because you don't know what type of election it's going to be. so the biden campaign and the trump campaign have to plan for an election where there's rallies eventually or maybe not, where there's door-knocking eventually or maybe not. where there's in-person phone banks or maybe not. so you have to

was he right to stand aside for joe biden at this moment, do you think? >> well i can tell you from personal experience, it's hard. because if you want to serve in that capacity,ay it is hard to it is not my time. but senator sanders ran a great race. he really put forward a lot of great ideas about the future of this country and where we need to go. i think one of his most important contributions is makingea it very clear that hlth care should be a right in this country, not a privilege for the wealthy. and i think together, we will move towards a medicare for all-type system, perhaps starting with the virus, perhaps starting wit expansion of medicaid and medicare so everyone has access to those programs. ofthis typpidemic we are in right now shows how important it is to have a social safety net. he also talked about something that is importt to me, which is national paid leave. if we had paid leave in this country, we would already have lae infrastructure in for people to be able to stay home for three months if their 'children'school has been closed, o

and tara reid filed an incident report against joe biden. and her mother calls into larry king show in 1993 asking for advice on what to do about this at the time, your reaction. >> hypocrisy by the mainstream mediaa and democrats is stunnin, therenn are two very different standards of play if are a republican, no matter if there is no corroborating every against you, you will be treated as guilty, your name dragged through the mud. and they will never stop talking about it for 24 hours, even if they never above it. if you a democrat, not only with a credible allegation against you, will you be treated add innocent. but they will act as if the allegation does not exist, that is stunning, sunday shows, zero mentions of this new credible evidence. remember in case of brett kavanaugh there was never evidence that he ever met christine ford. tara reid worked for him, have you 5 people come forward say she had the same story at at the time, on its face it is credib credible. >> before i get to silence of democrats, tara reid, this afternoon -- st

joe biden will do what joe biden's always done in these moments. he will sit back, he will be very classy, he will congratulate people and he will unite the base. i think bernie's language was really important today when he said united we stand, together to defeat donald trump. there will be no replay of 2016 as you pointed out, which is kind of a happen hearted endorsement. he and joe biden are personal friends. the base will be united to beat donald trump, who is in most assessments of our nation the most serious threat of our lifetime. >> in fact, i thought it was interesting joe biden and bernie sanders had a conversation in recent days talking about the vice presidential pick. so i think that there's a lot that joe biden is probably going to run by bernie sanders in trying to bring people together. peter baker, the president's response was classic trump on twitter just now as well. and as jim messina just pointed out, this is the worst-case scenario for president trump. but president trump has a megaphone and platform here with the daily brief

it will be joe biden versus donald tru. the challenge for joe biden is to try to win over all of those incredibly energetic bupnie sandersrters. there are a lot of young americans today who really believed in sanders's message and think in this time of the coronavirus, actually, his policies on health care for all, his polici of income, are more relevant than ever. an they feel very disappointed that the senator from vermont has dropped out of the race. sout how does joe biden go a trying to win them over without dragging the aquatic party so far to the lefthat he cannot energize voters in the cenr? it's clear nowthhat because of coronavirus, this election will be a referendum on donald p.tr and joe biden and the democratic party cannot afford to leave any voters behd. so their single focus for the next few months will be winning over bernie sanders supporters and trying to find a way for joe biden to reachn voters, e though he is stuck in a basement because everybody is unlocked. the key to that might be two people who are

i just wanting due process for both joe biden and tara reade. by the way, there is no preparation with christine bossi ford, and in the instance of tara reade, you have your mother calling cnn in 1993. cnn is not even covering the story. i'm asking for fair and consistent coverage. >> harris: scott? okay, it looks like we are going to have to shore up his skype shot. jason come in recent days it's been reported that "the new york times" says it did not clear joe biden. that their investigation did not clear joe biden. that they looked into it. we heard from hakeem jeffries just a few minutes ago, when you and scott were kind of going back and forth a bit. from the house democrat, pretty high ranking in the house, saying he wants to go deeper. what do you say? >> jason: look, i don't agree with hakeem jeffries on a lot of things, but i agree with him on this. i think the american people need to understand but they're dealing with, with the presidential candidate running for the highest office of the land. if we're going to treat republicans diffe

if joe biden at picking her, he's back in a lot of trouble. the day before she said she'd make anoe excellent vice presidt for joe biden but basically today she said if he picks a vice president of that stage is a pretty rocky relationship if he were to pick her. a lot of these potential candidates for vice president have something common and that'h they've never been vetted on a national stage. let's take stacy adams, for example, she ran for governor of georgia in 2018, she had to reveal she owed $220,000 in debt, including unpaid taxes from 2015 and 2016, credit cards, she ran up her credit card $77,522, and $96,000 for college education. despite the fact that she was a state legislator making a salary fromar that, despite she was a yale trained lawyer and therefore had a good practice, i suspect, and also she had a habit of forming nonprofit groups and having them hire her. from 2013 to 2016, she had to go groups called the third during development and voter actor in this to painters of a half-million dollars out of it. remember, she was l

candidate joe biden is now an avatar for the d.n.c. go ahead lionel my dear dear friend peter nobody cares about the gas nobody cares about the amount of props nobody nobody cares about this you are by friend has am i proud to say we are denizens of the bubble we are in the said we talk to our friends we should believe how he confused his wife with his sister you know what the d.n.c. is saying it doesn't matter he is the candidate he is going to be the candidate in july and that's it and you know what as long as you keep mentioning him does it matter. ok i actually i'm going to date myself it reminds me of being there with peter sellers you know we have chauncey gardiner running for the democrats right now ok look it up everybody if it's a good good compared to like tell me why should i like to watch it daddy i want to watch janet let me go to you in new york i'll give my pieces were up in front here is that the death of the d.n.c. knows this presidential race is lost and that's why they want biden because if bernie were to get the nom

then of course you had president obama, 12 minutes yesterday, talk about joe biden. i think from bernie's perspective, it was a very narrow path. he would have to win 61% of every single contest going forward. in 2016, i think senator sanders wanted to run for president again, that is why he took it to the end. he was not going to run again in 2024, so that was a big dynamic. secondly, you now have trump in office, and i will be diplomatic, with all of the fantasy of the trumpet administration, that is sitting there, and now we have got coronavirus for i think senator sanders said, "i cannot be the one, you know, blocking the democrats from winning control of the white house." all of his people are suddenly over, and we have never been this unified before. let me say, finally, when trump won and 2016, 92 million americans did not vote. they woke up the day and said, "holy cow, how did this happen?" it happened because they did not vote, and many of them said they will never miss a vote again. every election since trump was inaugurated, we have had a record democratic

just as the joe biden campaign is going to have to figure out joe biden can't be out there as much as we like to do, then you're going to have think about how to fully leverage barack obama in a more digital and virtual way. that's more natural to him so i think that can play to some of his strengths. >> gentlemen, thanks for staying up with us and thanks for having us both in. we really appreciate it. david plouffe, robert gibbs, thank you very much. >>> coming up for us, having total authority is not something an american president has ever claimed before and for good reason. we'll ask a pulitzer prize-winning presidential historian just how concerning it is to him. doing everything possible to keep you connected. through the resilience of our network and people... we can keep learning, keep sharing, keep watching, and most of all, keep together. it's the job we've always done... it is the job we will always do. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. once weekly t

joe biden won by racking up primaries and delegates. nothing crooked about that. >>> we'll be back with our pandemic coverage. new york governor cuomo just minutesway from his daily update. ♪ this is my body of proof. proof i can fight moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. proof i can fight psoriatic arthritis... ...with humira. proof of less joint pain... ...and clearer skin in psa. humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. humira is proven to help stop further joint damage

what can i say about joe biden that has not already been had a by joe biden. [laughter] asmagine having joe biden vice president is like taking your blue-collar dad to a fancy restaurant. he is more comical at the olive garden. talks too loud, mispronounce is the sauces and you are tempted to lean over to the waiter and say i'm sorry, he is from scranton. [laughter] the president and joe biden were not invited to the royal wedding and when biden found out he made at least said to the president, you, me, wedding crashers ii. i will book us to amtrak tickets to london. [laughter] the vice president loves trains. he loves the trains and i assume it must've been hard for the president to tell biden the new budget cut 15 $5 billion from high-speed rail. in and take off your engineers cap. i have some bad news about the choo-choos. [laughter] , one ofroke the news his overall straps sadly drooped off his shoulder. on the subject of budgets i would be remiss not to mention paul ryan. paul ryan introduced the budget plan that would overhaul medicare and make deep cuts
