for biden, that was valuable. but the headline was his headline treating women. >> how'd he do on "the view"? >> in terms of the anita hill portion of it, i spoke to some democrats on this. and he essentially said, he's got to fix the anita hill thing and fix it fast. if you listen to joe biden, he's been in the same place really for years in terms of talking about anita hill. it went sort of from, she's owed an apology, he finally picked up the phone 28 years later and called her and said, he's sorry for what happened to her. he's still not able to take any responsibility for his role in that. critics at the time, critics now essentially say, he could have done more. he could have called corroborating witnesses. he could have called expert witnesses. he could have controlled the stone a little bit more. they basically say he was run over by the gop, who wanted to control it a bit more, even though he was the chairman. so he is going to have to fix it. i think the image of anita hill, a black woman, and remember,

in this case biden could take support away from trump which is why biden reacting the way he is. jo union leadership, biden conflated it to unions itself. it wasn't an attack on unions per se, again, listen, i guess that is what politicians do. the blue-collar worker was pivotal in the last presidential election t was revealing felt like many of them democrats took them for granted. yeah, look here is the ultimate challenge, right? how does joe biden make this itchat a time of sub4% unemployment and 3% growth rate? we have la great economy. it increased wages for many workers. challenge for joe biden and democrats to run on the economic message, can they make headway with reality on the ground. that is president trump's biggest strength going into the election cycle. charles: james, blue-collar wages up 3% or more year-over-year for eight straight months. in six of those months outpacing overall wage gains. blue-collar wages exploding at a time where democrats continue to say the wealth isn't being shared. >> one thing that you know well difference between the top line numbers an

where is joe biden? he is issuing some statements. he is not in there giving speeches, doing anything that would fill this vacuum. this is what has become the kind of preamble to the biden campaign and i think that's bad for him. >> bret: guy? >> this seems to me like a warning shot from the left, certain elements of the left against biden basically saying if you are going to get into this thing, prepare to have a very unpleasant time. and the fact that he has said absolutely nothing in front of a camera, i don't think, is really helping his case all that much here. i do feel like there is, look, the video footage that we played there is very uncomfortable to watch there is a creepiness there. >> plus the slow motion with the music. >> that's true. we have seen these exchanges in the past, it's creepy, it's not, i think, appropriate especially these days. there is a difference, i think, between that and some of the me too actions that this is now being weaponized against him in a way that a lot of voters would say that's not the same

the joe biden advisers. you know, there's nothing that could make joe biden's argument more than us talking about donald trump, via his twitter feed. >> i think his twitter feed is the best window into him. donald trump sending four tweets about joe biden. joe biden couldn't have scripted that better. you couldn't have written those tweets better to make the, i'm the guy he's obsessed with, i'm the guy that can beat him. >> let's see what he has to say tomorrow. he's leaving pennsylvania, heading to iowa, another very important state. we'll see what his message is there. there's more news we're following right now. democratic lawmakers haare eage to grill the attorney general william barr over his handling of the mueller report. but barr's scheduled hearing before the house judiciary committee may be in jeopardy right now as he wrangles with the committee chairman jerry nadler over the terms of his testimony let's go to our congressional correspondent, sunlen serfaty. tell us about this disagreement. >> this

it was not about joe biden. you sort of get the sense that joe biden is on her mind. >> reporter: you brought up joe biden unprompted. >> how is it unprompted? he's a front runner. >> it was unprompted because no one asked you. conway is front, biden is the front runner. as of now, 39% of democrats say biden is their new choice which puts him 20 points ahead of bernie sanders, the closest competitor. a poll mirrors cnn's results, we are live in iowa arlette, what are you expecting from joe biden tonight? >> reporter: well, erin, joe biden will be taking the stage here in did you buick in -- debuque as a 2020 presidential candidate. earlier today he was clearly trying to keep the focus on president trump. going after trump for his tax cuts, saying he is a president that abuses power. biden has really refrained from engaging with his democratic opponents like bernie sanders, who over the past 24 hours has been trying to stake-out these clear differences between himself and the former vice president when it comes t

>> do you see joe biden as a threat? >> no, i don't see joe biden as a threat. i don't see him as a threat. i think he's only a threat to himself. i just don't see him as a threat. he's been there a long time. his record is not good. he would have to run on the obama failed record. you look at what happened with so many different things, north korea, the middle east, the economy never got going. no, i don't think joe is a threat. look, i'd be happy with any of them, to be honest. i never changed my mind at all. i may shut it down at some point. but i would rather do tariffs. so, mexico, i have to say, has been very, very good. you know that. over the last four days. since i talked about shutting down the border. if they continue that, everything will be fine. if they don't, we're going to tariff their cars at 25% coming into the united states. so every time they make a car, it's a 25% tariff. that means we make money as opposed to lose money. we probably bring those car companies back into the united states. but if on the other hand it doesn't work, 100%, the ta

joe biden is six-pack joe, he is the regular guy. is the problem, his son, hunter biden, up until 2009 when his father became vice president, was a lobbyist for the online gaming industry. he then started a financial services company called rosemont seneca partners. he lined up not only this deal with ukraine, but he also got a private equity deal with the chinese government for $1 billion. it's billion dollars with a b. hunter biden actually flew over with his father to beijing, china, on air force to to close that deal. so it's not just ukraine. it involves china and a whole host of other foreign money that the biden family was getting rich off of while joe biden was america's essentially chief diplomat to those countries. it's a huge problem for joe biden and a huge vulnerability. >> shannon: i know what some questions came up "the new york times" did reporting back in 2015 at some of these relationships and they were given a statement basically saying hunter biden is a private citizen, the vice president is not involved in any of

they know that about vice president biden. they see that in vice president biden. and it's just so authentic. which is part of the value of the firefighters endorsement this morning. these folks are the real deal, right? they, they cannot fake their job. they cannot not show up. the fact that they have along with biden this early, first union to do so, is really an extraordinary compliment to the campaign and the cause that he's running for. >> mr. steele, what does so authentic mean to you? many trump voters consider him keeping it real and super authentic while the "washington post" fact checkers say he crossed this threshold of telling 10,000 lies. >> in terms of president trump? look, that's one aspect of trump and what folks do is they compartmentalize quite honestly. they set that aside. that is part of the showmanship. the bragbragand joe biden repres the biggest credible threat to this president. trump was able to go into those neighborhoods and those working class places around the country and draw in democrats, republicans and cross section of voters and

so here we have joe biden. that's one of his greatest strengths. let biden be biden. he has an incredible connection with people. you saw it on "the view". he talked about his son telling him, hey, before he passed away, i don't want you -- me to stand in the way of your public service. come out there and come out fighting. that could have changed. if he had gotten in in 2016, that could have changed the dynamic in the race. right now i'm saying people are sick of political correctness. we're seeing that nationwide. he needs to run in the democratic primary. he does need to be sensitive to the race. his video -- he needs to also remember that his greatest strength is his connection with people. and his ability to come out fighting. >> you said it. authenticity reigns supreme. susan, thank you so much for coming on on your piece. i appreciate it. we are learning the trump administration did agree to reimburse north korea. 20 2 -- 2 million. here's what the man sent to north korea to bring warmbier home. this is what he told cnn this morning. >> as soon as the north kor

we have our resident biden whispering. and also with us, ashley parker, msnbc senior political analyst. i will start with you, back from the train station in delaware. joe biden taking heat from two sources today, anita hill as we understand it and the mother of the woman who was killed in charlottesville, virginia whom biden mentioned in his announcement video. walk us through these two controversies. >> in some ways yesterday was a very good rollout, sort of a classic joe biden day. it starts with this direct to camera very emotional determined appeal about his candidacy, the battle for the soul of the nation. of course he was on that sell la up to wilmington, we had that day on the tick scene, the retail scene, joe biden mixing it up with some of his supporters. but a classic joe biden day also involves some of the ghosts from the past and of course it didn't take long before the name anita hill emerged. the campaign was trying to get ahead of the story just simply mentioning the two had spoken and then anita hill in th

trump and biden a year ago, biden said about the "access hollywood" tape at the university of miami, he said somebody had said that when i was in high school, i would have taken him out behind the gym and punched his lights out, and the president responded to that, so these two have shown that they are really willing to get dirty and sling mud at each other, and if democratic voters respond to that, i think biden is showing he's focusing on trump, and his abhorrent behavior more than any other democratic candidate. >> i'm picturing two septoge septogenarian slugging out in the rings. they're both in their 70s so let's talk about age. biden is 76, trump is 72 and trump actually took a swipe at biden over this. >> i think we'd beat him easily. i am a young, vibrant man. i look at joe, i don't know about him. >> he's too old. >> i would never say anyone's too old, but i know they're all making me look very young, both in terms of age and i think in terms of energy. >> i don't know about that. bernie sanders is 77, too. how is age going to shape up in this fight? >> it's an interesting k

isn't so much, hasn't been so much is joe biden going to run but which joe biden is going to run because the options we are seeing is apologist personality where he is going around apologizing for his political career trying to appeal to the far left which doesn't have much tolerance anymore for a lot of his past policy positions which they find problematic or are we going to see the joe biden emerge that will openly say he loves john mccain it is willing to reach across the aisle and work with republicans to accomplish things on behalf of americans in a bipartisan basis? shannon: what do you think? the mccain family, there was word yesterday they are going to support joe biden? >> that would be wonderful. i was on the staff in 2008. i know joe biden personally. he's a great guy. what he has got to work on is messaging for the youthful because it is going to be crucial. look at 2016, 41.9% of registered voters sat home. the question is can joe biden deliver a message exciting enough to get those apathetic people out to the polls? especially that crucial youth vote? i'm anxious to see wha

joe biden flexing his fund-raising muscle. with his campaign announcing tonight he raised $6.3 million during his opening day in the race. the former vice president outpacing the first day totals of all democratic rivals, trying again today to keep his fight focused squarely on president trump's conduct in office. >> the rest of the world, i mean, they look at us like, my god. >> reporter: biden also responding to trump's latest attack on his age, despite both men being just four years apart. >> i am a young, vibrant man. i look at joe. i don't know about him. i don't know. >> if he looks young and vibrant compared to me, i should probably go home. >> reporter: but appearing on a abc's the view, biden is also confronting questions about his own long record, repeatedly declining to directly apologize to anita hill for her treatment during the 1991 supreme court confirmation hearings of clarence thomas. >> i'm sorry she was treated the way she wastreated. i did everything in my power to do what i thought was in the rules to be a

apparently joe biden and he does a lot. creepy uncle joe is the nickname

maybe sanders or maybe biden. i think, you know, when you look at joe, i have known joe over the years. he is not the brightest light bulb in the group, i don't think so, but he has a name that they know. he is coming on with a little cute statements about me that he talked about the way the world is today. well, i will tell you the way the world is today is we have a strong military. we have choice for our veterans. they have choice now instead of waiting in line all day long, all week long, all month long. they have choice. they can go out to a private doctor. we pay the bill and they don't have to die waiting in line. we have the biggest tax cut in the history of our country. we have gotten rid of the individual mandate. we have had the biggest cut in regulations which is one of the things creating all these great jobs because we have the best unemployment numbers we have ever had. today we have the most people working literally today, just came out. we have the most people working than we have ever had in the

when you look at joe biden, can you support joe biden? would you support him and what did hillary clinton's campaign teach you? >> first of all, i'm an independent, not a democrat. i voted for democrats, i have voted for republicans. i've voted for third party candidates think what biden is going to have to face is a left wing of the party that has wind in its sales. they are saying, why should we go with another centrist, moderate democrat. it would happen with hillary in 2016. she snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and lost to donald trump. they are going to need a true believer and joe biden has to face some tough questions. to be what i both to look at this, this is kind of the middle america reaction. watch. >> i have to say, i am so moved by that video. >> i mean, our uncles were in normandie, we were the good guys in this country and now we are not. and now we are not. people look at this country in horror and say what happened to america? it is not just about policy right now. he will get to that. but america, look at this a

anita hill said the call from biden left her feeling deeply unsatisfied and biden said he wouldn't judge her interpretation of their conversation. >> i'm sorry she was treated the way she was treated. i wish we could have figured out a better way to get this done. i did everything in my power to do what i thought was within the rules to be able to stop things. >> i think what she wants you to say is i'm sorry for the way i treated you. not for the way you were treated. that would be closer. >> but i'm sorry the way she got treated. i never -- if you look at what i said and didn't say, i don't think i treated her badly. >> i don't think i treated her badly. >> i want to bring in susan page. that answer and your judgment kills the story or not. >> for does not. it keeps the story going. totally predictable. what was surprising is it didn't have a crisp clear answer. the same mistakes were made as an unsatisfying apology in politics. this gets raised with him again and again until he comes up with a more compelling response. >> remember the anita hill hearings. an african american on the su

but joe biden has vehemently opposed this. he has never acknowledged that the due process rights of young men on campus have sometimes been completely ignored. even as he's saying, my intent is good. so, i don't have to apologize. >> margaret, a quick final thought from you as to how this shapes up in the fall, if it's the two of them left standing. >> well, trump just showed a complete lack of self awareness or conscious by taking on joe biden when he is far more guilty of offenses against women. and never acknowledges, never comes close to an explanation, or asking for any type of forgiveness. if it's the two of them, it's going to be two very old white men. kind of eliminates that thing that time has passed joe biden by because certainly they're both in their 70s. and they're both out of touch. but only trump has the "access hollywood" tape and 20 women who have made serious me too complaints. >> emily, margaret, thanks so much. that was excellent. >> thanks, michael. >> thank you. >>> what are your thoughts? tweet me @smer

joe biden owes anita hill an apology. >> i think that's obvious. >> not to biden. >> that's to my next point. i think to most people it's obvious. the fact that he isn't willing to do it because he knew it was coming. he made a decision, this is how he was going to handle it. apparently only spoke to professor hill because barbara boxer basically said you need to do something about this. it's a problem for me. i'll say that much. i've said that before. somebody who is really affected by that as a lot of women in the country were, and he should have a long time ago, frankly, gone to her and apologized and said, look, i mishandled it. instead he's putting himself in this very passive position, like he's an innocent bystander watch it happen. >> it comes off very arrogant. i'm going to hold everybody accountable for everything they've done in the past except for me. i need to gloss over this. look, you've got -- they're all going to have some issues. you've got bernie sanders talking about giving felons the right to vote. you've got so many people talking about different things. if anybod

i'm an obama-biden democrat. >> that was joe biden today. that's the question you have been hearing. one of the questions about biden and a lot of the candidates is the idea that the democratic party you think of as alexandria ocasio-cortez moving hard and fast to the left. is a candidate like that going to be left behind? let's look at if joe biden does as we expect he will enter the race, how would he stack up and where is the party in terms of ideological direction? this is the average of all the polls out there on the democratic side. biden has been running in first place, high 20s and getting close to 30%. sanders behind him and a bunch of candidates and kamala harris into single digits. and plenty who are not even listed here. how about this in terms of popularity. everybody who is a democratic voter know who is biden is and almost all have a positive view of him. he has a lot of good will. he talked about being an obama-biden democrat. here we go. this one got here sooner than i expected. this is the question. the idea origin of the d

does then senator biden, now vice president biden need to do more? >> he said he called her and listen, you have to look at the entirety of the record. that was a mistake back then. you have to look at people through their own -- we all make mistakes, learn by them. joe biden made a lot of mistakes. i have made mistakes. i learned. i'm sure you have, too. it's all about the issues and mistakes you may have made. no one has dug in more on fighting on women's issues than joe biden. you have to look at the totality of someone's record. he was the author of the violence against women act. we have to look at the whole record. also look at the world stage. i'm disgusted about the way america is viewed on the world stage, what president trump has done. relationships to nato, what he's done with tariffs. farmers in virginia. soybean farmers in virginia are no longer selling soybeans to china because of the ridiculous tariffs >> you're saying lots of nice stuff about joe biden, but to be clear, you haven't endorsed him yet. >> i'm a big fan of joe biden. i vi

biden might be biden and would say some off the cuff remarks. acknowledging he did decide to make a joke out of it and it will be scrutinized. i already heard from some of the potential rival campaigns wondering if he struck the right team. his team does think they weathered that storm. they do feel a week has become a year in politics. as the team was planning to have some very important meetings to make final decisions about strategic calls that the nature of the story did evolve quickly to a crisis moment that gave him chance to reclaim his political brand. you have seen him on the campaign trail too. he is somebody in your face. he believes that politics is personal. it's about connecting with people. they believe at the end of this week, his campaign team not fully formed just yet has grown from this experience, learned from this experience. as you indicate, he was in scranton yesterday. close sources telling me it was him seen by a twitter user down the street from his home. i don't think you film a video to announce you're not running for

biden's first event is set for monday. i'm elizabeth hur for abc 7 news. >>> biden is making abc's "the view" his first interview stop after officially entering the 2020 race. you can watch that exclusive tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. only on abc 7 and then on tuesday biden will be joined by his wife dr. jill biden for a morning tv exclusive with robin roberts tuesday morning on "good morning america." >>> this morning sunnyvale police will give an update on the investigation into the driver who they say deliberately plowed his car into eight people. >> police want to charge isaiah peoples with eight counts of attempted murder. investigators say there is no indication of terrorism. anser hassan is live at the county jail. >> reporter: good morning. the family is offering apologies to the victims for what their son is accused of doing. sunnyvale police will hold a news conference at 10:30 and may have new details. in the meantime his family says he's a devout christian and ira ffing from auditor for the department of defen

right now joe biden is 76. on inauguration day if elected he would be 78, making him the oldest person to serve as president if elected >> quite active though. so we'll see what the rollout looks like tomorrow. thank you very much for proving it for us. john? >> i'm curious what the other candidates do and how quickly they do it with joe biden in the race. will it be several weeks of responding to joe biden? we'll finally see. >>> one of the president's top advisers is trying to dismiss the extent of russian interference in the 2016 election. he's also the president's son-in-law. the stunning comments jared kushner made that has washington buzzing. that's next. biopharmaceutical researchers. pursuing life-changing cures in a country that fosters innovation here, they find breakthroughs... like a way to fight cancer by arming a patient's own t-cells... because it's not just about the next breakthrough... it's all the ones after that. rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis. when considering another treatment

joe biden is a super old candidate. he's -- if he wins, he'll be 77 years old on the day of his inauguration. that is the same age ronald reagan was when he left office. one of the problems with being old as a candidate as you bring up -- you have old baggage. you have the anita hill hearings. this happened in 1991. there is a poll out there that showed 30% of democrats don't approve of his handling of the anita hill hearings. 44 percent don't know because they weren't born. [laughter] acids lead expands, as we are seeing the polling coming and that he has a 24-point lead or so, it makes it more likely this will be central in the campaign because the 19 other democrats and counting will go after him on it. the more his lead grows, the more they are falling behind, the more they will go after joe biden on the anita hill thing. >> martha: that is right. chris hahn, i want to play this for you, this is a quote from lucy florez, one of the women who accused him of inappropriate touching. she said, "as anita hill recently fo
