at one point, while obama was talking about the economy, joe biden leaned over to house speaker paul ryan and whispered something that they both laughed about. biden said it was a private joke between two statesmen, while ryan said, "he just [ laughter and applause ] grow up. why would you do that? it's his last one, the last one. you don't have to do that. that's right, it was obama's seventh and final state of the union address, and because it was the last one, they decided to end it in a special way, >> the state of our union is strong. don't don't don't don't don't you forget about me will you stand above me look my way never love me rain keeps falling rain keeps falling down [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: "the bachelorette." the new "bachelorette." >> steve: wow.

under obama and joe biden we have made huge progress. the economy is not anywhere near where i wanted to be a no one whose objective and deny the we've made progress. i think the president deserves credit for that. in that blurb isblu that the next president has to be incredibly aggressive in bringing new people into the process. unless we change that political dynamic it will be wall street and the drug companies and the fossil fuels industry because of the great power, they will be able to continue to dominate the legislative process in washington. that is what i think at is what i wrote and is what i believe. the next president has got to do everything they can to change the process. can you give us an update on the debate? sanders: the dnc decided that the wanted to six debates. we were not consulted. we were told that's the way it is. what i said from day one along with governor o'malley is that we should have more debates. was notcampaign particularly interested in more debates. a week ago, 10 days ago, secretary clinton decided th

vice president joe biden said this morning that donald trump is running a divisive campaign, but most trump supporters are okay with division, provided it's not long division.

i believe that under obama and joe biden we have made huge progress. the economy is not anywhere near i want it to be but nobody can deny the fact that we has made -- we have made progress. .he resident deserves credit i think the next president of the united states has got to be aggressive in bringing people into the political process. that is what i mean by a political revolution. unless we changed that political dynamic, it will be wall street and the drug companies and the fossil fuel industry because of their great power, they will be able to continue the legislative process and washington. that is what i think, i wrote and what i believe the next president has got to do everything to bring more people into the process. yes? later, --e debate i want you to remember this. if anyone wants to argue with me, find your the dnc decided that they wanted to do six debates. we were not consulted in we were told a few hours before that is the way it is. six debates. day one along with governor o'malley, i think we should have more debate. clinton campaign w

flying around on twitter and statements by the campaign, barack obama would not be a progressive, joe biden would not be a progressive. jean shaheen would not be a progressive. even the late great senator paul wellstone would not be a progressive. i'm not going to let that bother me. i know where i stand. i know who stands with me. i know what i have done. but i don't think it helps for the senator to be making those kinds of comparisons because clearly we all share a lot of the same hopes and aspirations for our country that we want to see achieved. i don't think it's appropriate that planned parenthood endorses me or the human rights campaign endorses me, they are thrown out of the progressive wing and put into the establishment. that's just not -- that's just not anything we need to do. host: just a few minutes left this morning on the "washington journal." we are asking if you could change the presidential primary, the nominating process for the candidates, how would you do it? we asked this question with just five days to go before the first in the nation primary in new hampshire. here

he has thousands of bills and i don't think anyone believes that joe biden should be president of united states. barack obama knows exactly what he is doing. he is taking a systematic effort to make america more like the rest of the world. that is why he passed obamacare and systems like the stimulus and dodd frank. ofn i become president america, we are going to embrace everything that makes us the greatest country in the world, and lead our children with the best that anyone has the world.

the way i have been explaining it would be like if joe biden was running and he lost pennsylvania. bernie sanders has been a longtime politician in vermont, which is next door. they know him. that is the argument hillary is not better nationally but, all politics is local. host: senator sanders really carried the youth vote and clinton acknowledged that she has worked to do with younger voters. how can she make a better appeal? actually -- and i am slightly over the youth vote, because i am 31 years i have found that hillary is at her most effective when she stops trying to be likable. when her knowledge -- i don't think she is ever going to be someone who inspires the passion that bernie sanders inspires in the youth vote, just like with obama. i think that if she is true to herself, her depth of knowledge, instead of trying to go on ellen peoplecing, i think that might stop thinking that she is trying to hard. host: thank you. katie is next from new hampshire. you are an independent? caller: i am actually a republican. host: who did you vote for? trump: i voted for donald . i can

rumors about joe biden. this is going to be a very difficult three weeks. if the campaign panics at any point, maybe overcorrects, it a month from now. >> rest your voice for a second. we want you to comment on the republican side of things. donald trump topped the latest polls last night. 75 polls heading into the new hampshire primary. voters turned out for him in force on tuesday. nbc national correspondent peter alexander is already in the next battleground state, south carolina. >> good morning. south carolina, where the next primary is ten days away. donald trump likes to boast he's a winner and he proved it in a huge way last night. more than doubling his closest competitor, john kasich. this is a candidate who has re-defined republican politics and ran away with new hampshire. tell me it's a revolution >> reporter: donald trump, triumphant triumphant. >> we are going to make america great again. >> reporter: the brash >> we want to thank the people of new hampshire. right? do we love the people of new hampshire! >> reporter: extending an olive branc

[indiscernible] isn't this exactly what the democrats denounced? dirty water? this is troubling that neither one of the candidates brought this up. created hugely timber industry organ -- in an oregon. significant and important. i don't understand why it wasn't address. host: from the washington post, celebrity endorsement. ,tewart and petersburg virginia. a democrat. what you learned? black and proud military. also bernie sanders is going to on generate 20 -- every february 27. are very powerful in this area. president obama came here in 2008. to going to go out to try votes for hillary glen because she is best qualified. host: now we have glen. glenn? going to move on to and and a ton of each -- anne in daytona beach. ca

have come a long way in seven years and we should be proud of the accomplishments of the obama and biden administration. [applause] but, we have got to be honest, and acknowledge we still have a long way to go to create the nation that i know all of us believe we can create. [applause] i have been all over this country talking literally to hundreds of thousands of people. nobody i know thinks that it is acceptable, that it is moral, think that it is sustainable that in the united states of america we have more income and wealth inequality than any other major country on earth, that it is worth -- worse here here today then 1928. that is not acceptable. it is not acceptable to me the owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90%. it is not acceptable the 20 wealthiest people in this country own more wealth than the million americans. it is not acceptable that one owns more wealth than the bottom 40% of the american people. when we talk about the economy -- it's not just well. it is income. , we have many people, millions throughout our country working not one job but to jobs and three jobs

the cancer part is this is seated with the vice president biden's initiative. just to give an idea here, they usually try to target initiatives like these. these are arguably time year and then rifle shot since we are trying to find common ground between this white house and the republican caucus. >> let's turn to war funding. budget. you have tweeted about this. the white house budget keeps total for fiscal year 17. what's going on here? right now, house leadership was to put together their own budget resolution. they're having some pushback from members and their own caucus who are upset at the overall spending levels. one possibility that happened last year is they made trying to increase defense spending to help votes from members concerned about defense spending . one way to do that would be to try to include a higher oco number. but today, that number shows they have no interest at least so far in a higher oco number. house gop leaders may be on their own when they try to increase oco. briefly, i want to touch on the response speaker ryan immediately writ

the cancer part is associated with vice president biden's moonshot initiative. that is another thing that they are in be budget within the white house said that they hope they can work its republicans on. here,o give an idea usually, they tried to call target initiatives like this rifle shots. these are arguably even tinier than rifle shots in terms of trying to find common ground. let's turn to war funding. something we heard in the past budgets, the overseas contingency operations budget, you tweeted about this. $73white house budget keeps billion in the oco. what's going on here? jonathan: right now, house leadership wants to put together their own budget revolution. that is sort of the way to set the stage for the appropriations process. but they are having some pushback from members in their own caucus who are upset at the overall spending levels, that were negotiated in last fall's budget deal. -- and itsibility happened last year -- is they may try to increase defense help buy votes, for lack of a better term, from members concerned about defense spending

and then when president hillary clinton is elected she can nominate an obama, biden sanders. is there precedent -- when presidents have an opposition party as a majority in the senate to present more moderate candidates? and if they control the senate a more provocative candidate? so should republicans take what obama gives, which is likely to be more moderate than america in 2017? host: thank you for the call. guest: that's a great point. because in a sense, assuming that the republican position holds as we heard last night, they're really sort of playing for double or nothing. obama is as you say likely to pick someone who thinks is a plausible candidate who, i guess on air might have been a consensus figure as we said justice anthony kennedy was a more moderate figure than the reagan administration wanted but they recall dealing with an election year. so they picked someone who was they thought would be acceptable to the opposition party. the republicans are banking on the theory that they will control the presidentsy and the senate in the fall. or early next year. they ma

not know -- this country economically has come a long way under president obama and vice president biden in the last seven years. [applause] now, shouldn't: be too hard on our republican friends. they suffer from a serious illness called amnesia. they can't remember where we were seven years ago when we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. we were running up a record-breaking deficit of $1.4 trillion. when by the way, the world's financial system was on the verge of collapse. other than that we were in good shape when bush left office. we have come a long way in seven years and we should be proud of the accomplishments of the obama and biden administration.

the white house had 10 names, they ran them by joe biden's people and senator biden said we could go along with these names and not this name. one of the names they said don't go with was robert orc. one of the names they would go along with was anthony kennedy. and reagan nominated kennedy and he won 90 7-0 in a democratic senate. so it means a process like that. or the president and the consultation some and discussion about who will be a good choice. ist: the current chairman turn crossley and he has said he is open to hearing. guest: i think that's what he said. after the, shortly death, he seemed to say that it should be reserved to the next president. and then he had an interview with radio reporters were he seemed to say, we will take it one step at a time. and that said he was open to holding a hearing. and i don't have inside knowledge on this but my belief is that there was public pressure and the senate will at least think we should hold a hearing. assuming this is not somebody who they think is oh, they are unacceptable. they have got themselves in a situation now where t
