biden: yes. charlie: if you were running against donald trump, you like thetical battle, you like ideas.of what would be your case? againstld be your case him? mr. biden: obviously i am not running. i will be out campaigning for hillary. the case i will make on her behalf and why she should be president is that if you in fact conclude that we don't need alliances. let me back up. it is a different world charlie. we have to continue to be worried about major regional actors. russia, china, iran. what people are most worried about are the stateless actors. those elements from failed states that are generating extremist ideologies and organizations. that is not met with a standing any, that is met with intensive interlocking of intelligence organizations. the willingness to train those governments in those countries. with the capacity to deal internally with these extremist elements, that all requires cooperation. that requires you to have a relationship. what good does it do if falluja is freed and

senator biden, vice president biden, joe, he's an honest man. so steven spielberg, hollywood, you should be listening. joe biden's life is the stuff of which movies are made. i yield the floor. mr. schumer: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new york. mr. schumer: well, it is such a pleasure and honor to rise to recognize a great son of scranton, sitting next to me another son of scranton. the grandson of ireland. sitting in this chamber are many grandchildren of ireland. and a syracuse university graduate. how many others in the room can say that? but more importantly than any of those, one of the most dedicated public servants, one of the most successful public servants i've ever had the pleasure to serve with during my time in washington. everyone knows joe's proud of his ancestry. his ancestors came from ireland, as many millions have. he's deeply proud of being an irish american. like so many others from the emerald isle, our vice president inherited the gift of gab. and thank god for that, because he's used his booming

martha: vice president biden? v.p. biden: incredible. look, imagine had we let the republican congress work out the sanctions. you think there's any possibility the entire world would have joined us, russia and china, all of our allies? these are the most crippling sanctions in the history of sanctions, period. period. when governor romney's asked about it, he said, "we gotta keep these sanctions." when he said, "well, you're talking about doing more," what are you -- you're going to go to war? is that what you want to do? rep. ryan: we want to prevent war. v.p. biden: and the interesting thing is, how are they going to prevent war? how are they going to prevent war if they say there's nothing more that they say we should do than what we've already done, number one. and number two, with regard to the ability of the united states to take action militarily, it is not in my purview to talk about classified information. but we feel quite confident we could deal a serious blow to the iranians. but number two, the iranians are -- the israelis

biden: yeah. well, you know, until two weeks ago, it was two mondays ago john mccain said at 9:00 in the morning that the fundamentals of the economy were strong. two weeks before that, he said george -- we've made great economic progress under george bush's policies. nine o'clock, the economy was strong; 11:00 that same day, two mondays ago, john mccain said that we have an economic crisis. that doesn't make john mccain a bad guy, but it does point out he's out of touch. those folks on the sidelines knew those two months ago. ms. ifill: governor palin, you may respond. gov. palin: john mccain, in referring to the fundamental of our economy being strong, he was talking to and he was talking about the american workforce. and the american workforce is the greatest in this world, with the ingenuity and the work ethic that is just entrenched in our workforce. that's a positive, that's encouragement, and that's what john mccain meant. now, what i've done as a governor and as a mayor is truly had that t

joe biden. he was fair and courteous to everyone, even people who didn't always deserve it. he was always an example of how a powerful person with character and class treats anyone in a subordinate position. he treats them with humility, as god's children, with dignity equal to his own. in the book "the nighin nighinge song," one military officer escorting a codel to athens. he joined some of the members in a tavern for a little after-hours merriment and was later observed dance on a table sm top with senator biden's lovely wife jill. i don't recall witnessing such an event myself and i can't testify to it having actually happened near the can i imagine the temerity of that rascal, whoever he was. he was lucky the senator whose spouse he made endure the awkward moves he euphemistically called dancing was joe biden. few other senators would have seen the humor in it. many years have passed and many veafntses have trans-spierksd personald and public, that enriched our lives with the rewards and di

it was a classic joe biden speech. bittersweet for us because it might be the last time we hear him on a stage like this but he delivered an amazing speech. he talked about what makes us strong and why we shouldn't allow donald trump to divide us. >> reporter: lisa goodman among the first on their feet when the vice president wrapped up this remarks. you could tell the pride in this community right here. lisa, thanks for your time. back to you u. >> peter, thank you. nicolle wallace is standing by to talk to us. nicolle, you're in the arena and in our line of work we bend over backwards to look for equivalencies under the banner of fairness, we try to look for the equivalent to joe biden tonight during what we saw in cleveland. having been there, witnessed that, is there an equivalent? >> none that i can think of. if you look at a figure that the party loves the way everyone in this room loves joe biden, they've been on this journey with him, been through this undern journey with grief. i want to jump back to leon pane

senator biden, vice president biden, joe, he's an honest man. so steven spielberg, hollywood, you should be listening. joe biden's life is the stuff of which movies are made. i yield the floor. mr. schumer: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new york. mr. schumer: well, it is such a pleasure and honor to rise to recognize a great son of scranton, sitting next to me another son of scranton. the grandson of ireland. sitting in this chamber are many grandchildren of ireland. and a syracuse university graduate. how many others in the room can say that? but more importantly than any of those, one of the most dedicated public servants, one of the most successful public servants i've ever had the pleasure to serve with during my time in washington. everyone knows joe's proud of his ancestry. his ancestors came from ireland, as many millions have. he's deeply proud of being an irish american. like so many others from the emerald isle, our vice president inherited the gift of gab. and thank god for that, because he's used his booming

there goes biden again. "another biden gaffe." i wish it had been a gaffe. but it was not our grandparents. large institutions were taking their funds back. credit markets dried up, making it almost impossible for small businesses to keep their doors open and meet payroll. prospective homeowners to get a mortgage, car buyers to get a loan, and right before election day, lehman brothers collapsed, unleashing a real, actual fear that the whole financial system could come crashing down. it's hard to remember that right now, thank goodness. across the country, people are rapidly losing confidence in the government's ability to stem pan ic and the government was the ability to save the financial system. we have to remember the real lives of millions of american households and businesses outside of wall street, off of wall street. this month eight years ago, we had already lost 695,000 jobs. good paying, middle-class jobs. when barack and i placed our hands on the bible as we were sworn in on january 20, 2009, we had already lost almost 700,000 -- at that moment -

joe biden: "candid camera." to make the point about my state of delaware, there's a four-lane access highway that goes from downtown wilmington into pennsylvania on the way to chester, pennsylvania. and there's a big median strip right as you cross the line from pennsylvania -- delaware to pennsylvania. and allen had a giant sign erected, like a billboard, in saying,an strip "delaware closed today, overcrowded." and people turned around. people were stopping and turning around, going back. [laughter] joe biden: but guess what, you were going fast. i was bright young councilman, i was 27 years old, and i said why don't we have better transportation? i put together a whole big deal about transit and bus transit, and i couldn't get votes for it. you know what i find out? finally at a town meeting they said, we don't want them coming out here. not a joke. remember? those of you old enough, remember? well, you all got to get out there to get a job. we cut the payroll tax by $120 billion. payroll tax. every working af

biden: and i mean that. ladies and gentlemen, i learned a long time ago what jason knows intuitively. when i first got to the senate after i got elected, my wife and daughter were killed. i got elected november 7, and december 18, i got a phone call in washington saying a tractor-trailer broadsided the car my family was in and killed my baby daughter, killed my wife, and my two boys were not likely to make it. so i did not want to go to the senate. but because of guys -- and i mean this sincerely. because of tom eagleton and a guy named fritz hollings in south carolina and senate majority leader mike mansfield from montana -- they convinced me, just come and stay six months. just help us organize. because i did not think i could be a father and senator at the same time. and i used to go over to senator mansfield's office every tuesday at 3:00. i would get an assignment. i'm the first united states senator i ever knew. so, i did not know senators did not get assignments. no, for real, i did not know senators

but not my friend joe biden. he was courteous to everyone even the people that didn't always deserve it as an example how a powerful person with character and class treats anyone in a subordinate position. he treats them with humility, as god's children, with dignity equal to his own. he was later observed dancing oe a tabletop with senato table to. lovely wifein jill. i don't recall witnessing such an event like myself and actually having it happen eith either. he was lucky the moves and fewuh other senators would have seen. many years have passed since we shared those adventures and many have transpired personal, public for the reworked into disappointment and the challenges. we were still young men when we came to the senate. they both teste passed the bibll threescore intent. this place, the united states senate has been central and here we worked together on the country's challenges. here we fought and argued over the country's direction who would compromise and join forces to serve the public interest. here

that's the biden rule. that's the only rule we follow. ( applause ) and just, by the way, since when do republicans have any respect for what joe biden says? >> i think the vice president very well knows that sometimes the words don't come out of your mouth the right way. >> democrats aren't asked to answer every time joe biden says something embarrassing. >> the latest gaffe of the gift that keeps on giving, who is, by the the way, a heartbeat away from the presidency. >> the next time you're at a party, walk up to someone, just say, "environment joe biden," and close your mouth. they will crack up laughing. >> trevor: yeah, that's true, if you say "joe biden" at a party, people crack up laughing. just like if you say "ted cruz" at a party, people leave. ( cheers and applause ) "time to go, people. ted cruz, ted cruz. time to go, people. ted cruz. put the drink down. ted cruz, come on, guys, get out of here. ted cruz, ted cruz, people." we should all start doing that at parties from now on. "ted cruz, ever

president, of the biden rule. yesterday the chairman of the judiciary committee and i personally reiterated to president obama that we will observe the biden rule. the american people deserve to be heard on this matter. that's the fairest and most reasonable approach today. voters have already begun to choose the next president who in turn will nominate the next supreme court justice. it's an important decision. justice scalia himself reminded us that setting aside one's personal views is one of the primary qualifications for a judge. his aim was to follow the constitution wherever it took him, even if he disagreed politically with the outcome. we saw that when he sided with the constitutional right of protesters to burn the american flag. if you're going to be a good and faithful judge, he said, you have to resign yourself to the fact that you're not always going to like the conclusions you reach. i think americans agree that judges should be fair, impartial arbiters who apply the law and the constitution equally

end of biden quote. well, mr. president, that doesn't sound consistent with all of those biden rules that i shared with my colleagues on monday. so we ask, is it really possible to square chairman biden's 1992 election-year statement with vice president biden's 2016 election-year statement? was chairman biden's 1992 statement really just all about greater cooperation between the senate and the white housenan bt if a vacancy suddenly arises -- quote -- "action on a supreme court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over." was he simply calling for more cooperation when he called for withholding consent -- quote -- "no matter how good a person is nominated by the president"? was he merely suggesting that the president and the senate work together a little bit more, when he said we shouldn't hold hearings until these circumstances, was that all about cooperation between the branches? well, since we're talking about filling justice scalia's seat, it seems problem to ask, how would he solve t

biden.] ok. thanks. sen. biden: [to gov. palin.] thank you. gov. palin: [to sen. biden.] thank you. [to ms. ifill.] thank you, gwen. thank you. thank you. thank you. [cheers, applause.] ms. ifill: welcome to you both. as we had determined by a coin toss, the first question will go to senator biden, with a 90-second follow up from governor palin. the house of representatives this week passed a bill, a big bailout bill -- or didn't pass it, i should say -- sen. biden: [laughs.] ms. ifill: -- the senate decided to pass it and the house is wrestling it -- with it still tonight. as america watches these things happen on capitol hill, senator biden, was this the worst of washington or the best of washington that we saw play out? sen. biden: let me begin by thank you, gwen, for hosting this. and governor, it's a pleasure to meet you, and it's a pleasure be with you. i think it's neither the best nor worst of washington, but its evidence of the fact that the economic policies of the last eight years have been the worst economic policies we've ever had. as consequence, you've seen what's hap

that's the biden benchmark. the reid rule, the schumer standard, the biden benchmark. now i read a statement from the vice president where -- that he issued after he saw that this old news clip and his statement had been made public. he quite conveniently said this is not an accurate view -- this is not an accurate description of my views on the subject. well, i think the words are pretty clear. i think what he might have said is that these are no longer my views on the subject because, of course, he would like president obama to be able to make that nomination. so i want to reject this myth that many of our democratic colleagues are spreading that what we are doing here and now is somehow unprecedented. quite the clear, what we are doing is what the democrats' top leadership has advocated in the past. what do they think we are? they think we're going to abide by a different set of rules than they themselves advocated? how ridiculous would that be? i could not explain that to my constituents back home in texas. if i was going to say well, the democrats can apply one se

vice-president joe biden and the rest of beau biden's family coming to new castle to visit the building that now bears beau biden's name. >> beau loved the guard. beau loved serving with his brothers and sisters. >> reporter: biden who died of brain cancer one year ago today will be remembered as the citizen soldier who enlisted in the delaware national guard when he was 35 years old. serving in iraq, he was awarded the bronze star in the legion of merit not to mention serving as delaware's attorney general. >> you'll never find anyone to say anything bad it about he beau biden. owe loved him. he was the most morally up right person. >> reporter: state of the art building is call the major joe sr. beau biden the third national guard reserve center. the biden children should be very proud every time they drive by. >> they'll see beau's name and look to his example of thou live live the life of purpose, service and inspiration. >> reporter: those who served along biden says his commitment to family and country is how he will be remembered not as the vice-president's son. >> authentic, gen

we put -- biden world. we put the 53 and 11 and republican presidents last year in office, republican-controlled senate allows only five. com, on. let's be fair. the fact is they are has never, we have never blocked in a presidential election year a supreme court nominee because it was a presidential election year. in fact, i think we created the judiciary committee in 1816, always about presidential nominees to go forth. and i tell you this because the constitution requires the president to make a nomination but it's very clear. and then it says that we show advice and consent. we are saying no, we won't even advice, we won't even consent, we would even have a hearing. mr. president, i've taken the oath of office here seven times. it is a moving, scrolling moment. i'm sure that distinguished presiding officer when he was sworn in knows it is a solemn moment. you promise to uphold the constitution, so help me god. the constitution says the president shall nominate. it says we shall advise and consent. i too

that is the biden way. we have seen how he fights for working families, because he passionately believes in the a sick bargains that make our america great. that our economy should work for everyone and not just those at the top. against injustice. he has led the fight to end violence against women and girls. stares -- stands up for people's health including the project he is now leading on behalf of president obama. help save moonshot to lives. as many of you know, his , a great father and great public servant, a great human being, passed away last year. this is personal to joe biden. he knows it is personal to a lot of families. that is why he is fighting so hard to make a difference. if i am elected this fall i will ask him to continue the important work he has done to help us fight and defeat cancer. [applause] [cheering] ms. clinton: as someone who has worked with joe for years, first in the senate and then as a a-biden, i canobam say that that drive to make life better is what pushes him to make life

give me your word as a biden. remember, you are defined by your courage and you were redeemed by your loyalty. to me that's scranton. to me, that's how i grew up. i learned from my dad that there wasn't a single thing -- we didn't have any money. my dad really honest to god believed there wasn't anything i couldn't be. anything my brothers and my sisters couldn't be. he meant it or it nothing. there wasn't a single thing i wasn't capable of. anything could be accomplished. the measure of your character was not whether you got not down but how quickly you got up. look at the valley, man. how often we have been knocked down. how many times. the grit and determination. get back up. it is sort of the hallmark. i go all over america and around the world even though i haven't lived in scranton since i was a kid. i am literally referred to as the guy from scranton. because in this valley there is a value set. they did a study. ivy league schools did a study just a year ago. what is the most upwardly mobile city in americ

biden: it's dangerous. he not only is questioning the election, he's questioning the basic democratic fabric of the country. but we -- easy way to settle that. people show up and vote. and he said -- i'm told today he said if he wins, he'd accept the outcome? well, if he loses by a large margin, he has no choice but to accept the outcome. so let's make sure that we teach "a rigged media", "a rigged election"? v.p. biden: well, i am. look, democratic institutions are fragile. there's a consensus that allows them to continue. that is we abide by the democratic principles. when people vote, we abide by the outcome of the election. this is like something coming out of latin america, or -- anyway. i just think he's so disqualified himself. saying that we're attacking mosul to defeat isil to make hillary look g josh: we've got to talk about hillary clinton. you're here in new hampshire, obviously, on her behalf. questions about emails. a couple of different angles i want to come at. first, how concerned should th

that is the biden way. we have seen how he fights for working families because he passionately believes in the basic bargain that makes america great, that our economy should work for everyone, not just those at the top, and he stands up against in justice, he has led the fight to end violence against women and girls. and he stands up for peoples' lives including the project he's now leading on behalf of president obama, the cancer moon shot to fund breakthroughs and save lives. as many of you know, his wonderful son, beau, a great father, a great public servant, a great human being, passed away last year so this is personal to joe biden. he knows it's personal to a lot of families, that's why he's fighting so hard to make a difference and if i'm elected this fall i'm going to continue to ask joe to continue the important work he's done to help us fight and to beat cancer. [ cheers and applause ] so as someone whose worked with joe for years first in the senate, then as a member of the obama-biden cabinet,

we all have our favorite joe biden moments and joe bidenisms, but what are yours? >> i think as vice president he's continued his efforts for the women against violence act. he has continued his efforts to research -- cancer research as katy just mentioned and his efforts to find a cure for cancer and i think he will continue to do that when he leaves office in january. he's been a great statesman for our country. he's been a steady voice for this administration, and i think that we will continue to see him in public life in one way or another over the next few years. >> i was going to ask about that public life question because we just played the clip from stephen colbert's show. 2020, he's now made several coy remarks and jokes with kelly o'donnell. yesterday he said i'm going to go announce right now i'm running for president in 2020. what do you make of all that? >> well, i think anyone in this world who cannot decide what the future is going to hold, it's joe biden, and he knows that you can't ever say never, and he did so in a silly, true joe biden fashion no

and doctor jill biden are both expected to attends. it will be a very fitting way to mark this memorial day for the biden family. today the delaware national guard headquarters becomes the major joes of r beau biden the the thirds, he dedicated his service to his father, his stern as attorney general and to his country enlisted in the national guard following 9/11, major said beau biden grew, training in the hauls that will now bear his name. he worked in adjunct general's offers and in 2008 deployed to iraq for a year. he returned with the legion of merit, the bronze star, and the gratitude of his come regards. "eyewitness news" spoke to major general when the centers rededication was first announced late last year. >> beau biden never asked for any special considerations. he wanted to go with hundred unit and he d people who follow us and serve if the state of nation will be able to see his name there, reflect on what he did and the sacrifices that he made. >> now, down that road, the one hundred 6 thousand square foot facility opene

because this was hardscrabble scranton, pennsylvania, the hometown of joe biden and also the hometown of hillary clinton's dad, she spent a lot of time there as a kid, because pennsylvania's considered a background state, because pennsylvania is considered a background state because of blue collar white people in parts of the state like scranton, i think there was a lot of expectation today this biden-clinton event would be oo blue collar white people event and focuses on what the campaign sees as hard core middle class working and interests and talking about manufacturing and good trades. there was some of that but they also did other stuff and interesting news made. hillary clinton announced the pure cancer moon shot the obama administration has taken up in its second term vice president biden has been running from the white house. she said if elected, her administration will continue that effort and she will keep joe biden in charge of it. that was interesting. the vice president talked about that cancer moon shot effort some today. most of what he talked about was national securit

joe biden, that was new to me. with me now, cnn presidential historian doug brinkley and cnn chief political analyst gloria borger. it's fun to hear stories from these friends, these colleagues, obviously some of these folks who have been there in washington a long time know joe biden well because he has been there since 1972 when he was first elected to the senate. he wasn't even 30 years old at the time now he leaves as vice president age 74. gloria, when you reflect back on what we have known and learned about joe biden, his time in washington, in politics, what do you think has been his defining moment or calling or champion issue? >> well, there are a bunch of issues that he has championed, prominent among them is if violence against women act which he shepherded and is incredibly proud of. when i think of joe biden -- again, he's the definition of a fixture in the united states senate. he'd been there for 36 years before he was tapped to become vice president. in his adult life he's really only known public s

that is the biden way. we have seen how he fights for working families because he passionately believes in the basic bargain that makes america great. that our economy should work for everyone, not just those at the top. and he stands up against injustice. he has led the fight to end violence against women and girls. [applause] and he stands up for people's lives and health including the project he's now leading on behelpful of president obama, the cancer moon shot to fund break throughs to save lives. as many of you know, his wonderful son beau, a great father and public servant and human being passed away last year, this so this is personal to joe biden. he know its is personal to a lot of families and that's why he's fighting so hard to make a difference. and if i'm elected this fall, i will ask joe to it continue the important work he's done to help us fight and defeat cancer. [applause] so as someone who's worked with joe for years, first in the senate and then as a member of the obama/biden cabinet. i

biden: i gave you a simple edge. is raising the cost. >> moderator: if your ticket is elected who will pay more in taxes, who would pay less? biden: the middle class will pay less and people making dwindling to a more will begin to contribute slightly more. let me give you one concrete example. the continuation of the bush tax cuts we're arguing the bush tax cuts for the wealthy should be allowed to expire. of the bush tax cuts for the wealthy, 800 million, billion dollars of that goes to people making a minimum of 1 million. we see no justification in these economic times for those and they are patriotic americans. they are not asking for this continued tax cut. they're not suggesting it but my friends are insisting on. 120,000 families by continuing the tax cut would get an additional $500 billion in tax relief in the next 10 years and income is an average of $8 million. we want to extend permanently for middle-class tax cuts from -- these guys will not allow us. we say let's have a vote. let's have a vote on the m

vice president joe biden coming to clinton's defense. "i think the quicker they release the emails for the public to see them, the better off. i have confidence in hillary." fbi director, james comey sent a letter to the senate judiciary committee despite the objection from attorney general loretta lynch.. stating the bureau learned about emails that "appear to be pertinent to the investigation". according to law enforcement, the emails in question were not from hillary clinton... but found on a device being examined as part of the anthony weiner sexting scandal. the former congressman recently separated from top clinton aide huma abedin. months after comey told congress the investigation into clinton's private server was complete. "director comey was the one that wrote the letter that was light on facts, heavy on innuendo knowing full what republicans would do with it." clinton has called for the fbi to release the facts about its review... and says she's confident the outcome will not change the conclusion reached in july. i'm yasmin a

biden is at the gym. trump is at the barn. he's going to be punch something random person who comes there. you? me? aahh! i just came here for the sex! oh, that's coming! that's coming. look, i know everyone, including myself is really excited about the prospect of joe biden and donald trump having a physical fight because that would be the perfect climax to this election. but don't forget-- these guys are both in their 70s. so it will be entertaining, but it will probably look like this. ( cheers and applause ). >> trevor: hold my teeth! hold my teeth! beyond trump and biden setting up the whole "wrinkle in the jungle" what i found particularly fascinating about this story how differently it was presented, depending on who was consuming it. for instance, if you're a liberal you probably heard it as a story about how trump wants to beat up joe biden. but if you're a trump supporter, you probably heard it as donald trump standing up to joe biden. and that's the story of this election-- everyone picks sides and blindly defends t

tonight, vice president joe biden. second lady of the united states dr. jill biden. music from sturgill simpson. featuring the 8g band with thaddeus dixon, corey glover and vernon reid. seth meyers! [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: good evening, how are we doing, washington, d.c.? [ cheers and applause ] thank you so mucha -- for having us here -- in your beautiful city. we're having the best week we could have imagined. now let's get to the news. donald trump told supporters last night to go out and vote on when election day is actually november 8th. unless november 8th is just a lie being spread by the liberal media. you know what? [ light laughter ] if you're a trump supporter you should probably just go with whatever he says. [ cheers and applause ] donald trump, last night, criticized republicans who are dropping support for his campaign saying, quote, "i with a lot of these people." trump made the comment while talking to everyone's favorite foxhole, bill o'reilly.
