i would love to see joe biden run. i have always liked joe biden. i find him to be a very genuine politician, as genuine as they can be in politics anyway. primarily i want to see joe biden run for the same reason i'd like to see elizabeth warren run. we need more diversity of voices because the democratic party isn't just one idea, and it offends me that this second time hillary has run there's been this air of coronation of her being the first woman president of the united states. and i'm not saying we don't need a woman president of the united states, but we've got a lot of very capable female political leaders who just need to step up and stop trying -- it's a competition. it's not a coronation. make your case, be a grown-up, stop trying to be polite about this. this is the future of our nation. so yes, joe biden, run. put your ideas out there. bernie sanders, run. put your ideas out there. elizabeth warren, run. put your ideas out there. nancy pelosi for freaking sake -- i'm sorry, for heaven's sake. run, put your ideas out there. >> dee, let m

well, wow, imagine if the president endorses joe biden, elizabeth warren endorses joe biden. then you have a tremendously dynamic situation on the democratic side. now, short of that, let me just say i don't see joe biden getting in and beating hillary clinton. he would damage bernie sanders to some extent. does he get to the left of hillary clinton like elizabeth warren? >> part of that equation has to do with this meeting between joe biden and elizabeth warren that happened over the weekend. a lot of talk what was said and what was not said. there is is some talk that joe biden would pledge if he gets in to be a one term president, thereby possibly asking elizabeth warren to be his running mate and opening othe door for her for a nomination in the second part. steve. do you buy that? >> that is the point, right? that's the point of all of this. what we are watching is a carefully orchestrated campaign conduct conducted by joe biden and his advisors to gim a potential run. that doesn'ts inly mean he ends up running. we know for sure that he wants us to believe that he is goi

joe biden will run to win. and right now, the organization, both the money organization and the technical organization, is with hillary clinton. and unless that organization starts to crack, i don't see any room for biden to get in. biden's not just going to run to make a statement. >> chris, would you agree if he sees hillary clinton's numbers faltering, that may be the opportunity -- he says, forget about this organization, the money will come, she's failing, i have to get in and save the democrats? >> well, he won't do it just because there's a temporary drop in the polls for hillary. you'll have to see some of that organization running away or the money reaching out to him. joe biden is a pro. he's done this before. he's not running just to make a statement. >> what do you say, richard? would he get in if -- we're watching. it's interesting, hillary was absolutely going to be the nominee. then she was kind of certainly going to be the nominee and then kind of -- now people are saying, even if biden doesn't

implode with joe biden. he may have a chance. >> ford, i'm happy if joe biden is the nominee, i'm happy if hillary clinton is the nominee. i think either one of them will be a fine standard bear with the democratic party against the clown car that's on the other side. but what i'm saying to you right now is i don't see any difference between hillary clinton and joe biden on the issues, and joe biden is not a protest candidate. he's not -- >> that's where barack obama and elizabeth warren. remember hillary clinton support among blacks is wide, but it's not deep and joe biden can fix that, including the afl with richard -- trish: we know and, by the way, meeting with the afl-cio, they have not come out and supported a candidate just yet. so good to see you guys as always. thank you so much for your analysis and continue watching the upside in this market right now as we look -- i have to look way over here because the big board is down. we are up right now two -- more than 200 points, 230, i'll see you right a

we don't see outpouring for joe biden. people are not taking to the streets and we need joe biden. democratic party seems to be saying we need somebody who can possibly win and perhaps hillary clinton is not that person. >> a human gaffe machine. >> it's interesting to me that both hillary and joe biden, before they make their decision, assuming joe makes that decision, they both go to elizabeth warren. it seems she is the person that is most feared by both of them that she may get in the race. i have to assume, being more left-wing that bernie sanders would fear her as well. >> elizabeth warren is the center of gravity in the democratic party. there is no question that having the approval, the support, even the endorsement of elizabeth warren would be a huge boon to whomever gets it. just leaking the fact of this meeting from joe biden has people speculating all day today. people who are not following every twist and turn of his thinking will see the thinking of his meeting with elizabeth warren as pretty big. >> they wanted maximum play and they've gotten it. hillary's problems a

the buzz about a joe biden presidential run. nbc news said according to people briefed, biden doesn't ask for support but said he's seriously considering running. cnn reported it's likely he will enter the race. according to the wall street journal, the vice president quote increasingly leaning towards entering the race and can knit together a competitive campaign. "the washington post" resorts biden has major democratic fundraisers and josh earnest, the president spokesman praised biden but knocked away questions about the president's own thinking on the race. >> the president indicated the decision he made, i guess, seven years ago now to add joe biden to the ticket as his running made was the smartest decision he made in politics and i think that should give you some sense of the president's view of vice president's aptitude for the top job. i wouldn't speculate at this point whether or not the president would offer an endorsement. >> is there a possibility you could say endorse joe biden or endorse hillary clinton? >> i woul

a blessing to run if joe biden decide to do it. if you can believe it, the meeting between the president and vice president, not the only meeting today that is stirring speculation. jeff, i understand there is a meeting going on at the vice president's residence, right now. also of note, that include two of the president's most trusted advisers. >> that's right, john. two of the president's top advisers, longest serving political advisers, his election lawyer for years. and anita dunn, communications director in the white house to help craft his presidential campaign. those two are among a few others meet right now with vice president biden in the naval observatory. his official residence in washington. they have not yet signed on to any type of biden campaign. but they're among the people that the vice president is talking to, as he decides to, if he is going to run or not. and again, everyone we speak to throughout, so-called biden world, is still saying he has not yet made his decision. john, he is getting as much information as

is joe biden trying to create a ticket of joe biden and elizabeth warren. okay. let's accept that thought for the moment. what about reversing the ticket? jerry bernstein, how much does joe biden like being vice president? might he propose to elizabeth warren, why don't you run for president with me as your experienced vice president? >> no, he might not. >> okay. >> let me just weigh in on that. i have never heard of anybody who loves being vice president, particularly beyond eight years. >> well, he certainly seems to have enjoyed it more than anyone else has done. >> that's true. >> i think also, if elizabeth warren wanted to be president, she'd be running already. >> we'll leave it there tonight and there will be more tomorrow i'm sure. thank you all for joining us tonight, thank you. >>> up next, susan sarandon joins us. she's trying to stop the execution of a man on death row in oklahoma that is scheduled for september 16th. iness strate. and a partnership with hp can help you accelerate down a path created by people, technology and ideas. to move your comp

the backers are lukewarm on joe biden. you have doubts about joe biden running here. what's giving you pause? >> well, tamron, these things are true. one, it is more likely than it was a month ago when joe biden decides to get in, when a month ago no one thought this was even a responsibility. the other thing that's true is joe biden still hasn't set up with a fundraising account. the most important thing is whether he's able to raise the money that he needs to kpeet, and if joe biden sets up an exploratory committee or testing the waters committee, i think that will be a sign to a lot of people, he is going to do this. that's how someone runs from iowa and new hampshire. it makes him unlikely to reach that 50 million to $100 million. >> but how was his experience having run before? how does that factor in, and as reported earlier, some of -- the clinton campaign that they are still lingering out there. how does that still play in his tragedy. >> yes, just like once or twice before. when it comes to riding a bike, that makes it a whole lot easier if you've actually do

because joe biden is taking a close look. frankly, i think what happened away from minneapolis yesterday in d.c. when joe biden went behind closed doors with a labor boss, richard trumka, is a clear sign he's edging closer to this because he wants organized labor support. hillary clinton's gone behind closed doors with the afl-cio a couple of times. so far they have not endorsed her. she wants that endorsement and hasn't gotten it. >> this is the one question you've been waiting for all day. it's gutfeld. >> i have a compliment and question. compliment nice time. just return it nicely to me. comment, how unusual it is that she's accusing republicans of not being in the modern world when she doesn't drive and claims she's completely ignorant of modern technology. she didn't know how to use a blackberry but saying they live in the stone age. my question is, where is bill clinton these days? usually you would assume that the future first man would be out there trying to help or defend her. it seems like he's -- i'm just wonderin

joe johns, good evening to you. all eyes on the vice president, joe biden, will he? won't he jump into the presidential race? president obama is now weighing in. >> that's right, don. president obama weighing in. essentially giving joe biden the green light if he chooses to run according to our jeff zeleny. a blessing from the white house. it isn't a requirement. and it came in two pafrts rts t. after lunch with the president/vice president at the white house. then the press secretary, giving joe biden high praise. quoting the president as saying, that putting biden on the national ticket was the best decision the president's made in politics. there was more today to add to the buzz. when vice president met this evening with former white house communications director anita dunn, former white house counsel, bob bower, anita dunn's husband and former delaware senator ted kaufman, a long-time biden adviser. a lot of talk today. as joe biden tries to explore his options. >> lot of meetings if it sound like as well. what are the next steps for the vice president? is he pl

if he thinks joe biden could and he'll back joe biden because he wants democrats to win to preserve his legacy so he'll choose according to who he thinks will and, and at the moment he's definitely moving towards joe biden as hillary's problems increase. >> who wouldn't? you've got to alienate yourself from somebody who is losing question is all of these -- bundlers if you will, they're concerned to get into late, and they've signed on with hillary -- nobody expected that these things were going to happen so you've donated all of the the money to hillary. now all of a sudden oh, boy. >> now look at this we have a new poll, let's see a new poll that shows 46% of voters believe that hillary clinton wait for it -- should suspend her campaign until legal questions about her pee mail server are resolved. suspend the campaign. that's across the board poll republicans were involved in the polling as well. they were asked a question. but 46% says she recollected suspend her campaign. are you kidding me that's walking away from the campaign. >> you can't suspend something and then decide to come

we don't know whether joe biden ultimately will run for president but what we do know is that joe biden wants us to believe that he's thinking about running for president. >> interesting. there was the quinnipiac poll last week, peter, comes out. swing states. florida, ohio, pennsylvania. 71-26, 72-26. 74-24, do not want another four years of obama's policies. that hurts both hillary and biden. >> there is an anvil around joe biden's neck. where is the grass roots support? we don't see it for hillary clinton or joe biden. we see itber bernie sanders, showing that the democratic party is more leftish than we considered it to be that a socialist is trumping, no pun intended, both of them. we don't see outpouring for joe biden. people are not taking to the streets and saying, we need joe biden. democratic party seems to be saying we need somebody who can possibly win and perhaps hillary clinton is not that person. >> a human gaffe machine. >> it's interesting to me that both hillary and joe biden, before they make their decision, assuming joe makes that decision, they both go to elizabeth

but that joe biden is beating trump. in other words, biden is doing better than hillary clinton is doing in hick. you are starting to see voters in polls showing that hillary clinton is not doing well here. >> i do not buy that joe biden is thinking about running because of hillary's e-mail. i think -- look, the last sitting vice president that did not run in an open election, i think was kidick complainy. joe biden has done a great job as vice president. he has an incredible relationship with congress on both sides of the aisle. >> he has a 20% net faifrl favorable right now, hillary clinton did, do you think he would be running? >> i think it has more to do with the health of his son and less thou to do about his e-mails. >> it's going to be an awkward cocktail party. john king, patty so lease, doyle bernstein, thank you all so much. >>> other big news today. the market meltdown. why it might not be over yet. and what you can do about it. richard quest thank goodness has all the answers. >>> also, donald trump has a 14

we have a great deal of affection for joe biden. he's run before and it's been less than sterling success. that but i still think when push comes to shove biden is less likely rather than more likely to get in. with the clamor of the establishment democrats grows louder, he wants to run. if his heart he wants to run. the things holding him back are the practicalities. let's move on. mp,ay, in the daily womp wo the badly for hillary clinton surrounding e-mails gets worse. the cloth,th jennifer palmieri, and today reports law enforcement officials are investigating how classified material found its members sent to her private e-mail addresses. that should be some nice each reading while she sets off for her vacation and hamptons. this foreen on top of the begetting. on the scale of incremental to monumental, how is this particular newsbreak today? plus plus.ntal i know jen wolcott, one of the reporters. that me back up for just a second and say the petronius parallels, --etraeus he gave classified information to his mistress. he gave

biden even though joe biden is still deciding, the real joe biden, whether he's going to run for president. we have bill clinton, the ghost of ronald reagan, and it goes on and on. anyone who wants to be a joker, a jester, or a wise cracker has the ability to do what this kid from iowa did. >> very comfortable. dave, thanks. >>> firefighters in washington state are making some small gains as they battle a dozen major wildfires. with dry air and lightening in the forecast, they may soon have more fires to deal with. the biggest one covers 260,000 acres. state officials are asking for new help. >> an historic first request of washington for volunteers to fight the massive fires burning across the state. robert has returned to his hometown compelled to come help. >> i'm very compete connected to the community and the people here. i feel responsibility to do what i can. >> an astonishing 5,000 people from near and far called, e-mailed or simply marched through the doors of city hall asking what they could do. >> it was way more than we expected. it's been a humbling experience to go through, a

joe biden is happy to run and lose. i think the trial balloon sets up a process in which he can have a frank discussion with president obama about where his support is going to go. if the obama team, as is leaked all over town, is horrified by how much baggage she's taken on with the e-mail scandal and whether or not she's becoming a beatable candidate in general election, then they need an exit ramp and they need joe biden. sanders support will go to joe biden. before he makes it official, there has to be this period in which people promise him money and backup. >> both sides of the aisle feel the anger, kind of the visceral thing. >> i agree. on specific issues,they're not going to leave him. if you look at that 22%, i think there are people who don't trust her and would be willing to go with biden. he's everything she's not. he shares that authenticity with bernie sanders. >> the president last week said he could win a third term. some people said overseas who is better to take the obama administration torch forward,

but i have to tell you i don't think joe biden is running because hillary has a problem. i think if joe biden runs he wants to continue to advance the agenda that he wanted to be with president o'biden -- president o'biden? >> that's what voters can think. i can see the bumper sticker now, "o'biden." >> well, he's a natural politician, a good politician. if he decides to run he'll get support within the party. >> given the signals it looks like he will run. we'll give him time to make a formal announcement one way or the other. what do you make of jeb bush going to the u.s./mexico border today? the other day we saw the republican presidential front-runner donald trump make an appearance at the u.s./mexico border. >> every republican candidate does it. it's the issue republicans are most concerned about and frankly jeb bush has a majority republican position on immigration, on securitying the border, on not deporting four and a half million children who are u.s. citizens. remembers don't believe you ought to run out 11 million people and ship them out the door like we did

joe biden might run. president obama apparently would be okay with a joe biden run. today we heard the ceo of starbucks is being asked to run as well. >> who floated that a barista? >> i'm not sure. what would be the most fun six months of your life would be joe biden versus donald trump and see how those two go at it. >> i might buy tickets for that. >> exactly. >> juan hillary clinton is not lighting the world on fire. she's been running for office for many years. it's almost like she's the incomein incumbent. she does come across as cold. joe biden comes across as warm. do you think it is being pushed more from the grass roots or somebody in the biden camp? >> i think it's being pushed by the republicans. >> the republicans don't pitch things to maureen dowd. >> never, never. let me tell you something. the numbers still indicate that hillary is i think -- more than 50% of democrats would choose her as their nominee for the democratic party. donald trump is 20 something. that gives you an idea. the thing about the joe biden moment is that joe biden is so loved by d

going to find a guy who's more decent than joe biden is. what i promise joe if he decides to get into the race is that i will, as i have done up to now, run an issue-oriented campaign. joe's juice, i suspect and know, on a number of issues are different than mine. what impact it will have on the race i don't know. i wish i could tell you but i don't will it help or hurt me or hillary clinton, i don't know. >> sanders's success has created a kind of two-candidate dynamic which front-runner hillary clinton has had to grapple with genuine pressure from the left and clinton has adopted rhetoric and policy position on a range of issues that have been more liberal considerably than many expected six months ago when she entered the race it seems fair to assume the threat posed by sanders has had at least something to do with that. if biden's enters the race, that dynamic that has been propelling progressive ideas to the center of the democratic party might immediately change. it changes in a way that may not be welcome the by those who favor progr

democrats to tell joe biden. what does joe biden need to hear. how much encouragement does he need? would it take to get joe biden to stop flirting with this and say yes, i'm in? >> it would take a lot. people would have to say we're really concerned hillary clinton's campaign is evaporating, something maybe in her testimony in front of benghazi committee blows up, something like that that makes it look like this is a firestorm. at the moment when you have is hillary clinton with a series of bad news events coming out and lower poll numbers each time. she's trying to change the die na -- dynamic. let's say something positive about my campaign. i don't think at the moment you'll have sort of everything the house is on fire conversations that biden would really need to hear before he gets in. >> here is an unidentified former advisor said. quote "he really likes her personally but there is an under current of resentment and an element of and biden is by no means the only one that felt this, why does she feel entitl

i think joe biden wants to run. the only cure for once you get the presidential bug apparently is embalming fluid. this would be his third time. i think people who know and actually love joe biden. there's a great deal of affection for him in washington on both sides of the aisle. they don't want to see him humiliated. not sure there's support out there, not sure he can raise the money. on the other hand what if there is a lot of support? then you have a bruising fight within the democratic party because hillary clinton is not going to go quietly. she's kind of sewed up the base hit. she's got a lot of money. so i think if biden does get into the race, i don't think anybody begrudges him. it's his right certainly as a democrat and as a sitting vice president but i'm not sure in the end that this would be good for him or for the democrats. john: without breaching democratic protocol, what he can do is publicly lavish praise on biden as a vice president. privately let it be known to key insiders he'd like to see biden

john's piece about joe biden what is your bottom line about joe biden, whether he will run and what happens if he does? john: a little less and 50-50. as i said before, i don't think it's good for hillary clinton. joe biden is not very happy with the clintons right now. remember we are on twice a day. until tomorrow, sayonara. ♪ alix: we are moments away from the closing bell. i'm alix steel. scarlet: i'm scarlet fu in for joe weisenthal.

why not joe biden. >> joe biden has been in the polls by 40 or 50 points. this is not a name recognition problem. >> she's beating him. that's the whole point. the fact of the matter is a democrat begrudges joe biden taking this seriously. if i were vice president i would want to hold onto the notion that i might rent for president as long as possible because it gives you power. sandra: hillary spending a lot of money on these ads. richard goodstein, thank you for joining us with a bunch of energy this morning. we will see a page at this hour because an hour in the morning without talking about donald trump. more on that in a little bit. this does mark the beginning of a busy week for the 2016 race leading up to thursday night debate fox news. be sure to turn into 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. eastern time. when we started to show a couple of minutes prior i said i don't care what time it is or how late it got. i host to 5:00 a.m. show in the morning i will be off this latest possible until the last word you said. >> i like what he said about the money. hillary c

joe biden is happy to run and lose. i think the trial balloon sets up a process in which he can have a frank discussion with president obama about where his support is going to go. if the obama team as is leaked all over town is horrified by how much baggage she's taken on with the e-mail scandal and whether or not she's becoming a beatable candidate in general election then they need an exit ramp and they need joe biden. sanders support will go to joe biden. before he makes it official, there has to be this period in which people promise him money and backup. >> both sides of the aisle feel the anger, kind of the visceral thing. >> i agree. on specific issues,they're not going to leave him. if you look at that 22%, i think there are people who don't trust her and would be willing to go with biden. he's everything she's not. he shares that aweuthenticity with bernie sanders. >> the president last week said he could win a third term. some people said overseas who is better to take the obama administration torch forward,

the buzz about a joe biden presidential run. nbc news said according to people briefed, biden doesn't ask for support but said he's seriously considering running. cnn reported it's likely he will enter the race. according to the wall street journal, the vice president quote increasingly leaning towards entering the race and can knit together a competitive campaign. "the washington post" resorts biden has mayjor democratic fundraisers and josh earnest, the president spokesman praised biden but knocked away questions about the president's own thinking on the race. >> the president indicated the decision he made, i guess, seven years ago now to add joe biden to the ticket as his running made was the smartest decision he made in politics and i think that should give you some sense of the president's view of vice president's aptitude for the top job. i wouldn't speculate at this point whether or not the president would offer an endorsement. >> is there a possibility you could say endorse joe biden or endorse hillary clinton? >> i wou

to olivia's points we know the positives of joe biden and the weaknesses of joe biden. i think it will lead to him not doing this. >> you have to assume going in you are going to lose the voter count. he's done it in the past. we'll have to see how that works out. a lot of attention will be focused on the first republican debate. ten candidates on stage in the prime time debate. donald trump will be center stage. he leads the national polls. he's second in the iowa polls. he will be the center of attention. he says he won't be throwing punches. >> i don't think i'm going to be throwing punches. i'm not looking to attack. >> you have been attacking. >> every attack i made was a counter punch. they attacked first. i have been attacked viciously by some of these guys. >> i found that interesting. as this happened over the weekend, several republican candidates went to the koch brothers some are out in california. trump tweeted, i wish good luck to the republican candidates to go to california to beg for money from the koch brothers. do you want a poke in the eye the one fa
