i like joe biden. i think it has been a fresh breath of air since he came in, dealing with the trash that was left over from the trump administration. they did nothing but make money for the wealthy. republicans have nothing to run on. this nasty sarcasm that they seem to be putting out absolutely turns me off. the ones that are really pushing donald trump right now is trump and the price. the major networks are pushing him because he brings up sales of advertising. that is what they are really all about, making money, which is part of the american dream, but in my country, i want somebody in there working for me and the people of this country, not for themselves. that is what donald trump stands for, all for himself. have a good day. maybe i will call in again soon. host: michael on the republican line in new jersey. caller: i am from patterson. i do not think joe biden is doing the job right now. we have 2 million people who just walked over the border. nobody with a love for america would allow drug

this was just after senator biden became vice president biden. i spent 10 minutes talking to him about running for senator because i thought it was important to have people with military experience in congress. beau listened and looked me in the eye for 10 minutes and said sir, thank you so much. you honor me with your words. he looked at me and said, sir i have much work to do in delaware. i have much work to help the people in delaware. i must finish what i started. it is really important to me. that is a man of great character. a man who understands commitment. that was beau. to his family, i want you to know i stand there with you and will always be there with you. he was a soldier a friend, and someone i admired. as i look for the perfect words i think back to 2012 when vice president biden addressed the surviving members of our military forces who gave the ultimate sacrifice. you spoke about a day that would come, when the thought of your son, daughter, husband wife, brother, sister would bring a smile to the lips before a tear to the eye.

biden is part of it. i believe that afghanistan, the 13 soldiers we had murdered by the taliban, that bomb, and 170 helpers died from that bomb. that should be -- what you call it? he should be taken out of office. not impeachment but treason. our southern border open with millions come in there, that is also a treason charge. he needs to get out before they get the new monetary system in, because they will have complete control of us if they have that monetary system in. we will own nothing. they are taking away our vehicles even and our food supply will be very short. biden has already talked about that and it is very scary. host: another article here from the hill about marijuana legalization voted on in the house of representatives. just three gop lawmakers back in the marijuana legalization vote. two democrats vote no. only three republicans joined with all that two democrats in support of legalization nationwide. three republicans. representatives matt gaetz, brian mast and tom mcclintock. let's tal

-- governor palin and joe biden. if you don't understand what the cause is, it's virtually impossible to come up with a solution. we know what the cause is. the cause is manmade. that's the cause. that's why the polar icecap is melting. now, let's look at the facts. we have 3% of the world's oil reserves. we consume 25% of the oil in the world. john mccain has voted 20 times in the last decade-and-a-half against funding alternative energy sources, clean energy sources, wind, solar, biofuels. the way in which we can stop the greenhouse gases from emitting. we believe -- barack obama believes by investing in clean coal and safe nuclear, we can not only create jobs in wind and solar here in the united states, we can export it. china is building one to three new coal-fired plants burning dirty coal per week. it's polluting not only the atmosphere but the west coast of the united states. we should export the technology by investing in clean coal technology. we should be creating jobs. john mccain has voted 20 times agains

. >> the joe biden from eight years ago is not exactly the same joe biden. there is something to be said about his eight years standing beside obama and helping him fight the fights he has been through. i think he has gained a lot on that. i will say if in fact he can make the case that he is more u authentical candidate there is sump hope there. she is by far the frontrunner but don't count him out. >> your poll that is in tomorrow's "washington post," but was an abc poll -- it was very interesting. it showed it builds on the poll that came out with 60% of people described one word as liar. and that showed that she is loosing support among mrn millennial and women. what you are talking about with black lives matter and i have always questioned whether or not blacks, hispanics and asians were the key for the 2012 election whether they will turn out for hillary clinton. that is still the question. if there is a fracturing of those core voters, i am not saying it yet, just the beginning cracks. he is very well loved. there is a great deal of affection for him

maybe biden does the same thing, although he probably won't. political -- it will become a political lever in the election. at the same time, everyone has known for, probably close to two years, that this woman who had given so much sacrifice, so much for our country had been forced to languish in that position. and everybody knew that she was very, very ill. i think the real tragedy in this encouraged was not to step down and spend her last remaining years in comfort and in solitude, rather than essentially trying to force her to stay alive long enough to prevent another supreme court justice appointment by our sitting president. that came -- that was a political decision that was made, i believe, by the democrat leadership to try to prevent that. that is really the tragedy in this. again, my condolences to the family. she has left a mark on our country that -- who: let's go to lorraine, was calling from washington, d.c. good morning. caller: i have to admit i did not know her story until last year when the movies came out. the documentaries,

joe biden has started this. it's time for the american people to stand up and say turn it back on it. let's get this under control. host: atlanta, georgia on the democrat line. good morning. caller: just like that last caller with the disinformation same biden started this. that's just another light. the republicans want to blame this all on the oil pipeline. vladimir putin had dropped and the apartment party was backing in. why wouldn't you feel emboldened? he interfered in our elections. what did they do? they stood back. i told these people when you back vladimir putin, it's going to backfire. what did it have to do with it? it didn't have to do with columbia. it had to do with ukraine. now they want to try to fool you and say it wasn't about that. it was just about a pipeline. despots as they always do come into power and do economic uncertainty. now, they want to blame everything on joe biden. host: let's go to elizabeth from tampa on the republican line. good morning. caller: good morning. i don't really t

biden is somebody that i just think the world of and he's been a loyal soldier. he has been a great vice president. he has been the guy that the administration sends up to the hill when they have to get things done. he is is able to work with republican leaders and his old democratic colleagues and bring them together whether it's, you know ending the shutdown of the government or putting together a budget deal. he is a legislator's legislator. he would a lyndon johnson like president if he could get there but there is no question that he's been completely eclipsed in terms of the coverage and the conversation by secretary clinton. so, i think his shot on friday was a don't forget about me but i think a lot of people in this town and particularly inside the add miles per hourstration believe if secretary clinton does run -- and most people think she will -- vice president biden probably will not run. but i think that's a decision that he wants to make, and he doesn't want that decision to be made or imposed upon him by any of the washington ones. >> elizabeth war

that was joe biden. i knew the tragedy his family had gone through and i cherished time with his office near mine, when his sons beau and hunter would be there with him. i watched them grow up. i saw beau biden become the epitome of what a what a state's attorney general should be. that's a model that all attorneys general throughout the country could have followed. progressive, worried about improving the law improving people's lives; he did that. i know how much we appreciate when we see he and hallie at an event. when we get a chance, marcel and i can talk with them. it is like picking up a conversation that ended just if a few minutes before. i remember one thing especially about him. i was in iraq during the war. it was a day when it was well over 100 degrees out. i was being brought to a place where there was going to be a briefing, i was being zipped into this building. there were a number of soldiers wearing t-shirts, shorts and identify -- playing in the 100 100-degree heat. one with his arm blo

[laughter] v.p. biden: as my family and i have worked through the grieving process, i've said all along what i've said time and again to others, that it may very well be that that process, by the time we get through it, closes the window on mounting a realistic campaign for president, that it might close. i've concluded it has closed. i know from previous experience that there is no timetable for this process. the process doesn't respect or much care about things like filing deadlines or debates and primaries and caucuses. but i also know that i could do this if -- i couldn't do this if the family wasn't ready. the good news is the family has reached that point. but as i've said many times, my family has suffered a loss and i hope there would come a time -- and i've said this to many other families -- that sooner rather than later, when you think of your loved one it brings a smile

joe biden. biden is the ringleader of obama's gun control task force. let's just say she has some interesting ideas on self. take a look. >> by a shotgun. >> joe biden on self-defense for women. >> you want to protect yourself, get a double barrel shotgun, as i told my wife. i said come until there is ever a problem walk out on the balcony here, but that double barrel shotgun and fire to blast outside the house. >> more than 300,000 women face aggravated assault every year. joe bidens answer. >> fire two blasts outside the house. >> not only would that be illegal, for tips on safe and responsible gun ownership, ask he nra, not joe biden. >> that i needed a different disclaimer. it should've said, the opinions of the vice president are idiotic him a dangerous, and should not be attended at home r anywhere else. there is also senator dianne feinstein. wasn't it what you think our guns should be banned. >> step up and ban these weapons. the other very important part f this is to ban large capacity ammunition seeking devices. those that hold over 10 rounds.

it is always good to have vice president biden here. i would also like to recognize the chef who refused the flavors of chinese and american cuisine. -- who fused the flavors of chinese and american cuisine. [applause] >> [speaking chinese] >> this marks the historic trip to china. we are pleased that he is here with us a long with the instrumental transformation between our two countries. >> [translating to chinese] [translating to chinese] >> no. -- today cooperation between the united states and china is imperative to address the many vexing challenges we face from liberation to addressing climate change to promoting global economic security. developing a habit of cooperation is not easy. we have a lot of work to do. we are committed to the framework of trust that will have a cooperative partnership for the next 40 years and beyond. >> [translating to chinese] [translating to chinese] >> the vice president first came to the united states on an exchange program. he will travel there tomorrow to see some old friends. that business illu

host: you heard president biden talk about what he is -- giving thought to what to do now. do you think he could have gone further? guest: as i have said, he is trapped by the political circumstances in the united states. we are already -- florida is a very important place and it is essentially a red state. domestic politics often has gotten in the way of cuba politics. for example, the president has said -- [indiscernible] -- he is correct that the regime is favored. for every $100 a cube and spends or a cuban in miami sends to his relatives, 40% goes to the state. there is a big debate about whether we are in fact willing to subsidize the government. i think the president is kind of stuck. lifting the embargo is something -- i believe the embargo has been less effective than people believe. but today for the biden administration lifting parts of the embargo would be, frankly, political suicide. host: one of the issues that came up last week was from the homeland security secretary talking about migration and giving a warning to the cuban people. we will get your response.

joe biden here and i'm sitting with tim lewis, a retired federal judge who was nominated to the bench by a republican president and confirmed by a democratic senatewithin four weeks of a presidential election. judge lewis: hello, everyone. that's right. and i'm living proof that president obama's nominee to the supreme courtchief judge merrick garlanddeserves similar consideration by today's senate. the vice president: not only because merrick garland is recognizedwithout exceptionby the right and the left as one of america's sharpest legal minds and a model of integrity. judge lewis: but also because that's what the constitution requires. the sitting president shallnot maybut shall nominate someone to fill a vacancy on the supreme court, with the advice and consent of the senate. that includes consulting and voting. the vice president: here's how it works. for 17 years, i was chairman or ranking member of senate judiciary committee, which overseas nominations to the court. i presided over nine supreme court nominationsmore than anyone alive. some i supported. others i didn't. but eve

analyst include chief of staff to joe biden. and a cnn analysit. this is a little more than an hour.[applause] >> thank you so much, i want to thank the loyal georgetown alums for coming back, including members of our panel. i want to tell you as somebody who teaches here, the new generation of georgetown students is doing you proud. when i say i truly love georgetown, i can give you evidence for that, my wife is a georgetown grad, we got married [applause]pel. we have a lot of parties in the public policy school in front of

. >> joe biden gave the weekly address in place of president obama who return from the nato summit in wales. he outlined the administration efforts in reviving the economy and raising the minimum wage. dan sullivan gave the republican response. >> ladies and gentlemen, this is joe biden, i'm filling in for president obama, while he addresses the nato summit in wales. when the president and i took office in january of 2009, this nation was in the midst of the greatest economic crisis since the great depression. our economy had plummeted at a rate of 8% in a single quarter -- part of the fastest economic decline any time in the last half century. millions of families were falling underwater on their homes and threatened with foreclosure. the iconic american automobile industry was under siege. but yesterday's jobs report was another reminder of how far we've come. we've had 54 straight months of job creation. and that's the longest streak of uninterrupted job growth in the united states' history. we've gone from losing 9 million jobs during the financial crisis to creating 10 million jo

so every indication is that the biden administration is very supportive of the current direction. jesse: let's go to michelle, who is calling from arcade, new york. michelle, good morning. caller: hello. i have one question. what about that van allen radiation belt? thank you very much. john: from this news you may not know what the van allen belt he is, it is a belt of captured radiation that surrounds the earth. it was discovered by the space scientists van allen in the late 1950's. you would not want to put an orbiting station in the van allen belts because that would be unhealthy for anybody aboard, and we don't do that. but passing the van allen belt on the way outward from earth, you are not exposed to radiation for long enough to have it have any effect. the negative effects from space radiation are much more from cosmic rays that can act like radiation bullets on astronauts, which is a very serious worry for long journeys out to mars. not so much for three-day journeys to the moon. jesse: we have a question from one of our social media followers. they want to know, what is

biden is trying to finish strongly. buttigieg probably have seen their numbers decline, but they built up strong organizations. then amy klobuchar is -- host: that is ken thomas. we lost you a moment ago but let's go back to the metrics. what i hear you saying is that may not be the case if you are close fourth or fifth, you can say you met expectations. is that correct? guest:

biden, president clinton, to president bush, to mrs. bush, speaker boehner, and senators casey and tommey and all the members of the delegations and elected officials and especially to the families today who worked so hard to dig as possible. we join together as friends and families, to build and support enduring monument to love, courage, and sacrifice. on one morning, a turn of history and a rush of heroes forever changed this land and this nation and this world. the battle that began at 6 miles overhead ended with a roar of engines and this area behind us, the stony creek river. since that day, millions of americans have come to honor their heroes of flight 93. they have brought to this hallowed ground their pictures, their letters, and their prayers. and the people of this land, themselves survivors and

biden's heart. when president biden nominated me, he told me to fight like hell for our vets. that is what we're doing. this administration and congress are doing the same. delivering for our vets with the american rescue plan which allocated $17 billion to help us care for vets during the pandemic. the proposed reconciliation package, which has $5 billion to help vets thrive in the future. the save lives, which empowered us to vaccinate not just vets, espouses -- but espouses and caregivers. and with a proposed expansion of that same act that would allow caregivers and spouses to get flu shots at v.a. when they get their boosters. the house veteran affairs committee move this last week, and i heard congress would send it to president biden's desk as soon as possible. there is so much more where that came from. the bottom line is every part of this administration is focused on fighting for veterans everyday. access. we will move heaven and earth to get veterans timely access to their resources. a major part of that equation, making sure veterans have the best possible experien

senator elizabeth warren and former vice president joe biden. do either of those candidates appeal to you? >> yes. that i've had occasion to see and hear biden more often and i feel more familiar with him because he's grown more and has acquainted with and more comfortable with warring -- en over the last six months and may be cooling off on biden over the last couple months. but harris county put it herself i feel in my reaction to what she did on the soapbox at the fair yesterday. >> thanks for the call. we are going to move on to carl from florida as we look at a live view of the iowa state fair. the rain has stopped. cloudy skies. temperatures expected to reach the low 80's before the end of the day. a cooler day than we have seen over the last couple of days. carl. good afternoon. >> good afternoon pete i'm watching the same thing as you. i think you should keep kamala harris off the tv. all she does is downgrade out president of the united states and plus the other democratic party. if they don't like it they can go somewhere else. they do

. >> the confirmation hearing for three of president biden's nominees. former senator bill nason -- nelson is nominated to be nasa administrator. lena con --kahn is nominated to serve on the federal trade commission. they hearing is two hours and 40 minutes. >> the committee will come to order. i want to welcome our witnesses today. today is a very important hearing date. we are going to be joined by our colleagues and former colleagues senator nelson to be nominated as nasa director and senator jensen -- senator hutchinson who will join us virtually. i cannot think of two more active ranking members on this committee. we welcome them. certainly, we have our former commerce secretary joining us virtually. it is a big commerce they -- they -- day. to see our colleagues. there is a lot of enthusiasm by members who hoped to join in in support of these nomination. we will be joined by a variety of senators. senator rubio is with us already. welcome to the family. we are covering everything from the digital and natural to the commercial world space today. it

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
