in the entire 102nd congress, when joe biden -- joe biden as chair, the senate confirmed 120 nominees, 120 judicial nominations under biden. 11 under chairman grassley. the difference is stunning. i would encourage my friend from iowa to focus on chairman biden's actions and results rather than cherry-picking remarks. the judiciary committee of joe biden honored its nomination by confirming and visiting with nominees in a timely fashion even though they were a republican president's nominees. i can't say the same of the committee today. as chairman, joe biden did his constitutional duty to process four nominations for republican presidents for the supreme court. justice kennedy, that was the last year of reagan. that vote occurred in the last year of president reagan's presidency. souter and thomas. let's fowms -- focus on thomas for just a little bit. thomas got 52 votes. he squeaked through the senate. any one senator could have forced a cloture vote. any one democrat could have done it. we didn't do that. it was never done until the republicans showed up here in the last few years.

joe biden is a well liked, and trusted candidate. charles: we are talking about the socialist with a very formidable lead, and that's got to be shocking to everyone in politics. >> i think the thing we have to consider is city would venture to guess 90% of those who are supporting bernie don't -- continues define socialist if they had to. this is the jant tie hillary vote. this is the powell would like to see. i would like to see a poll. i noticed the under currents. when i asked people supporting bernie who their second choice is, very often it's donald trump. most of the time it's another gop contendser. i think the dnc is looking at these numbers and doing the math and realizing they don't have a candidate in hillary clinton. charles: what if hilly pull hilf hillary pulls this off and she does win this? >> she cried. we'll have to pull something else out of the hat because the cry trick already worked. i wouldn't have been surprised if bernie sanders continues to lead her double digits going into new hampshire. but the wall street

i like joe biden that much. and whether he runs for something, i think he should be secretary of state if hillary wins. what i thought i'd do, write him a letter, type a letter up and send him a book signed to his office and tell him about the john hockenberry interview i and how much i admire him and i wanted to give him the gift of my book. i just sent it off today, you know? i thought maybe they'll just blow it up before it ever gets to him. they're going to have to check out that it's safe, of course. so i think if hillary falters, i think joe biden would have to enter, because i do not think bernie sanders can win the election, unfortunately. he's a great guy, but i don't think he can win. i think joe biden would come back in. that's my gut feeling. but it's a lot of ifs. after a month or two somebody could watch this tape and say, boy, are you out of date. it's going to be done already. but you asked me, so i'm answering you. all right? so i thank you for the question. anybody else want to make a comment o

biden will be at the oscars this weekend. the singer he will introduce and the message he has for others. 3 3 in this morning's the buzz, hunger games star jennifer lawrence is this year's highest-paid oscar nominee. according to forbes, lawrence, who received a best actress nomination for "joy," earned 52 million dollars between june 2014 and june 2015. lawrence's nomination this year is her fourth. at 25., she is the youngest person ever with four nominations. the second highest-paid oscar nominee is leonardo dicaprio, who made 29-million. 3 vice president joe biden will have a serious message for the audience at the oscars this weekend. according to the white house, the vice attend sunday's awards ceremony. biden will introduce singer lady gaga and make a call for sexual assault awareness. lady gaga will perform "til it happens to you" which was nominated for best original song. 3 3 r-and-b singer bobby brown has his seventh chililon the way. he and his wife just had a baby girl seven months ago and also have a six-year ol

biden will come back and run and, you know, i'm a joe biden fan and last week -- saying about joe biden. even a year ago i said, he should run for a third-term as vice president. can you do that? yes. february last year, somehow they got in touch and we want to talk to you about joe biden. all right. last week i spoke seven minutes and he made fun of it, you're a one-man campaign. i wonder if joe biden heard this. you know something, i like joe biden that much and whether he runs for anything, i think he should be secretary of state if not vice president if hillary wins or whatever. write him a letter, type the letter up and send him a book signed to his office and tell him about the interview and how much i admire and i want to give him the gift of my book and i will be curious on the reaction. i assume i will get a reaction. i just sent it off today. maybe they will blow it before. they are going to have to check out that it's safe, of course. if hillary faults, i think joe biden will have to enter. i do not think bernie sanders could win the election. he's a great guy but i don't thi

vice president joe biden is still speaking. he is wrapping up his keynote address to a very energetic crowd that has a lot at stake here. thousands of democrats pack the san jose convention center to hear biden motivate skin spire with the presidential nomination and the u.s. senate seat before voters california democrats have a lot to gain or lose. a heckler disrupted biden off the top of his speech but was quickly escorted out by security. biden started offsinging his fellow democrat's praises then took jabs at republicans in washington, talking about the u.s. being the epicenter of energy around the world, urged voters to unite and warned they have a long, important battle ahead of them. >> let me start by giving our republican friends not so much republican party friends and candidates a tip. you can't lead this great country without recognizing what made it great in the first place. and more important ly, you can' lead america unless you believe in the american people and their capacity to do virtually anything they set th

joe biden and lady gaga to raise awareness about sexual assault on college campuses. we'll hear from one of the student who is appeared on stage. >>> we had a bit of a rainy start in center city this morning. parts of the area started off with a few showers, generally on the light side. but the winds increased and drove the dry air in and drove that rain out of here. but it didn't cool things off. at least not yet. still spring-like around here and it's likely to be that way tomorrow as well. we do have rain moving in for tuesday night, and possible snow before the week is out. flags still blowing hard. it is still windy out there but it's not going to stay like this all night. it's 56 degrees, wind gusts up to 30 miles an hour right now. and our official high today was 64. yesterday was 64 too. but it was only 41 friday, and 44 on saturday. so we jumped into springtime. but winter's coming back. the winter temperatures at the very least. 56 in philadelphia. 60 in dover and atlantic city, it's down to 49 in reading so some of the colder air starting to come in with th

plus a big announcement by joe biden. there's lots ahead, stay with us. >>> last night we told you about a new project we're working on. it's our attempt here to flesh out some of the surprisingly elusive details about the hillary clinton versus bernie sanders race on the democratic side of the presidential contest. despite all the punditry and jibber jabber about this race in the press, there's very little hard data reported about the strengths of the clinton and sanders operations, particularly when you get beyond nevada and south carolina. if you're wondering who's going to win that race, it would be helpful to know how strong those campaigns are after nevada and south carolina. we're pretty certain it will go on past nevada and south carolina. neither candidate is expected to crop out no matter how they do in these next two states. that means the next stage, potentially the definitive stage for deciding the democratic presidential nominee this year is going to happen on march 1st and the 11 states that all vote that d

vice president joe biden will attend. it's been a source of some discussion, as you know. >> that's right. some of the president's critics have said that this is an example of the president not reaching out to conservatives as he could and should at a time like this, a time of mourning. others say that as the president he should attend the funeral of every supreme court justice. the response from the white house, wolf, has been they thought president obama going to the service yesterday at the supreme court was more personal and a more meaningful way to do it. two, that vice president joe biden had a deeper relationship with justice scalia and they felt it more appropriate for have the biden to go. three, not everybody appreciates all that comes with a presidential visit including tremendous security, a lot of pomp, and that might not be appropriate or what a family wants at a moment like this. and lastly, i was referred to comments that a former clerk of justice scalia, ed whelan, a noted conservative in town, made, in w

should scientists listen to joe biden and share more research? pat: john, there's a real conflict here. many form suit cal companies and other scientists spend their whole lives and develop something and it's a miracle drug and it can n cure a tremendous amount. so they want to when rewarded and their reward is also an incentive to do more. at the same time people want to these -- use these drugs more broadly and in a humanitarian sense. there's a real conflict of legitimate interests here and it's one where i think the government should move in and if they have to, reward the scientists for what they've done, at the same time -- eleanor: there are two issues here. somebody has to be incentivized to quickly get a vaccine for zika. it is a horrible affliction to bring babies into the world for small heads and brain damage and i think it should make some countries question some of their abortion policies because if you don't know that you're carrying this child and you discover you are, i think abortion is a very reasonable procedure. but what joe

i got a fairly epic sitdown, a one-on-one with vice president joe biden. he talked about everything from donald trump's new war with pope francis of all people to what's about to happen with the vacate supreme court seat. it's all straight ahead. >>> one of the reasons the president has been able to move so far to the right is that there is no primary opposition to him. and i think it would do this country a good deal of service if people starred thinking about candidates out there, to begin contrasting what is a progressive agenda as opposed to what obama is doing. >> all right. that was you in 2011. understand that. >> but that was in response to a question on a radio show. this is a media issue. this is one thing i said on one radio show many, many years ago. media likes that issue. >> you were pretty tough on bill clinton's record and you said you hit his record on wall street. you said this was a guy who wanted to deregulate wall street, for welfare reform, and got nafta through. it didn't sound like a presidency you were very pleased with. >> i was a

and i think seeing joe biden also apologize, joe biden can't keep out of this race either, you know. i think trump takes every opportunity he can. he knows exactly what he's doing because this -- in his tweet about fox, he's playing to his base. this will be great. he's picking a fight with fox. works for him. so why not do it. it is rich, but it works, right? >> pick up the other side of that then, nia. what is the perceptive downside to having the former president of mexico show the obvious disdain for this idea? >> i think broadly if you look at the demographics in this country and you think about trump's rhetoric here in terms of building the wall and forcing mexico to pay for it, we already know that he isn't doing well in the polls. >> we just had one today that showed really tough numbers for trump. >> essentially 80% of latinos view him unfavorably. so if you think about states like nevada, which he won in this last caucus, but in a general election in nevada, a state like florida, north carolina, even virginia and the entire south, which is growing in terms of the latino pop
