WE GET TO THAT PART AS WELL. NOT ON DID NORTH KOREA SEND OTTO
WARMBIER HOME BUT THEY SENT A $2
MILLION BILL FOR HIS CARE.
>>> BIDEN ALSO GOT AN EARLY
ENDORSEMENT IN THE FIRST PRIMARY
STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE FROM
POPULAR FORMER GOVERNOR JOHN
LYNCH AND CNBC REPORTS THAT NEW
YORK’S CURRENT DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO IS
THROWING HIS POWERFUL
FUND-RAISING NETWORK BEHIND
BIDEN.
BIDEN. >> IF YOU ARE THE BEST CHOICE
FOR THE DEMOCRATS IN 2020, WHY
DIDN’T PRESIDENT OBAMA ENDORSE
YOU?
YOU? >> I ASKED PRESIDENT OBAMA NOT
TO ENDORSE.
TO ENDORSE. AND WHOEVER WINS THIS NOMINATION
SHOULD WIN IT ON THEIR OWN
MERITS.
MERITS. WELCOME TO DELAWARE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO, WILLIE, PRETTY GOOD DAY
YESTERDAY FOR JOE BIDEN.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. I MEAN, THE RESPONSE TO THE
VIDEO WAS GOOD, THE ROLLOUT THE
GOOD, THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES WELCOMED JOE BIDEN
TO THE RACE, CALLING HIM "SLEEPY
JOE BIDEN."
JOE BIDEN." WE DID SEE THE FIRST CRITICISMS
OF HIM FROM BERNIE SANDERS WHO
PUT OUT A FUND-RAISING E-MAIL
GOING AFTER IN A SIDE WAYS WAY
JOE BIDEN FOR HAVING A
FUND-RAISER WITH CORPORATE LOP
YIS
YIS -- LOBBYISTS.
-- LOBBYISTS. WE HEARD CRITICISM FROM
ELIZABETH WARREN OVER BANKS THAT
SHOES BEEN
SHOES BEEN SHE’S BEEN IN A FIGHT WITH HIM
OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DECADES.
BIDEN IS GOING TO TRY TO OCCUPY
A BIGGER SPACE THAT TRENDS
TOWARDS THE CENTER.
>> HE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS PUT
DONALD TRUMP AT THE CENTER OF
HIS CAMPAIGN.
HIS CAMPAIGN. THE ONE ATTRIBUTE YOU HAVE TO
GIVE BIDEN CREDIT FOR YESTERDAY
IS THAT VIDEO MADE VERY CLEAR
WHAT THE CENTRAL RATIONALE FOR
HIS CANDIDACY IS.
THAT’S TO HIMSELF CREDIT.
NOBODY WAUBSLKS AWAY NOT
UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT’S ABOUT.
>> "THE NEW YORK TIMES" LED WITH
THE ANITA HILL STORY, THAT JOE
BIDEN CALLED TO APOLOGIZE TO
ANITA HILL.
ANITA HILL. SHE DIDN’T ACCEPT AND SHE SAID
BIDEN NOW NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE TO
WOMEN ACROSS AMERICA BECAUSE HE
MAY HAVE HUGGED THEM
INAPPROPRIATELY.
INAPPROPRIATELY. >> I DON’T THINK THAT JOE BIDEN
GIVEN HIS LONG CAREER IN
GOVERNMENT, HE CANNOT START THIS
OUT ON AN APOLOGY TOUR.
HE CAN EXPLAIN THE DECISIONS HE
MADE WHEN HE DID AND WHAT’S
HAPPENED SINCE AND HOW IF YOU
WANT TO SAY HE’S EVOLVED OR GONE
ON A LISTENING TOUR OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT, BUT HE CANNOT START
APOLOGIZING OUT OF THE GATE.
AND TO JOHN HEILEMANN’S POINT, I
THINK THAT GATE THAT HE CAME OUT
OF, GOING AGAINST DONALD TRUMP
AND SHOWING THAT HE IS THE ONE
TO TAKE HIM ON AND THAT STRNENGT
WAS PART OF THAT ARGUMENT.
YOU CAN SAY EVERYTHING ELSE YOU
WANT ABOUT MY RECORD BUT CANNOT
DENY AT LEAST RIGHT NOW I AM THE
BEST ONE TO TAKE ON DONALD
TRUMP.
TRUMP. >> AND DONNY DEUTSCH, THAT DOES
SEEM TO BE THE BELIEF BY MANY
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT JOE
BIDEN CALLING ANITA HILL, ANITA
HILL NOT ACCEPTING THE APOLOGY
AND THEN SAYING HE NEEDS TO
APOLOGIZE TO THE REST OF THE
WOMEN IN AMERICA.
SHOULD BIDEN MOVE FORWARD?
>> HOW IS HE GOING TO ADDRESS
ALL OF THE THINGS IN TERMS OF
BANKING AND CRIMINAL REFORM?
I THINK THE ANSWER FOR BIDEN IS
HE’S NOT A FLIP FLOPPER AGE 47
AND CHANGE YOUR VIEWS AT 48.
77-YEAR-OLD MEN, JUST LIKE
60-YEAR-OLD MEN, WE DO THINK AND
ACT DIFFERENTLY THAN 20, 30
YEARS AGO.
YEARS AGO. I THINK AMERICANS ARE EVOLVED
ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN
YOU HAVE A 40, 50-YEAR RECORD
YOU’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO LOOK
BACK AND SAY, GEES, AS A
43-YEAR-OLD GUY THAT WAS PRETTY
DUMB.
DUMB. I THINK THAT’S GOING TO BE THE
PLAY BOOK ACROSS THE BOARD.
WHAT WAS SO STRONG ABOUT HIM
YESTERDAY, AND, YES, HE IS THE
BEST OR CERTAINLY ONE OF THE
BEST ANTOINE GHANIMI-TRUMPS, BUT
WORD THAT CAME THROUGH YESTERDAY
THAT IS TO ME FROM A TACTIC
POINT OF VIEW OR HUMAN
DESCRIPTION POINT OF VIEW IS
COMPASSION.
COMPASSION. THAT’S WHAT CAME ACROSS AS A
HUMAN.
HUMAN. IT’S SO IRONIC THAT WE TALK
ABOUT HIM ALWAYS GIVING HUGS.
THAT WAS KIND OF A BIG HUG TO
THE COUNTRY IN EFFECT.
AND TO ME IF THAT COMPASSION
SHOWS THROUGH IN EVERYTHING HE
DOES, WHEREAS I HAVE NOT FELT IN
THE GUT ABOUT ANY OF THE
CANDIDATES EMOTIONALLY AS MUCH
AS I FELT YESTERDAY, THAT WAS A
RIGHT
RIGHT RIGHT-BRAIN MOVE.
RIGHT-BRAIN MOVE. GOING FORWARD ALL THE LEFT-BRAIN
CHUNKS IN TERMS OF POLICY HAVE
GOT TO BE IN THERE BUT FOR HIM
YOU COULD NOT HAVE STARTED IN A
BETTER PLACE.
BETTER PLACE. >> THERE ARE TWO CANDIDATES THAT
STAND OUT TO ME AS READY TO FACE
TRUMP.
TRUMP. DONALD TRUMP TWEETED ABOUT
BIDEN, QUESTIONING HIS
INTELLIGENCE AND SAID HE
DISAGREES WITH THE PREMISE OF
BIDEN’S ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO.
>> WE ARE IN A BATTLE FOR THE
SOUL OF THIS NATION.
I BELIEVE HISTORY WILL LOOK BACK
ON FOUR YEARS OF THIS PRESIDENT
AND ALL HE EMBRACES AS AN
ABERRANT MOMENT IN TIME.
>> WHEN BIDEN MAKES THE
STATEMENT TALKING ABOUT THE
SOUL, I MEAN, THE SOUL, TAKE A
LOOK AT THE OBAMA -- I HEARD
SOMEBODY SAY BEFORE THAT THERE
WAS SUCH DISSENSION AND
DIVISION, PEOPLE FORGET THERE
WAS TREMENDOUS DIVISION DURING
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE GREAT SPIRIT
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. AND JUST TO FINISH THAT OFF, WE
ARE A COUNTRY RESPECTED AGAIN.
>> ACTUALLY, EVERYTHING HE JUST
SAID THERE WAS ACTUALLY FALSE,
EXCEPT FOR THE FACT, MIKA, THAT
THERE WERE DIVISIONS DURING THE
BAUM ERA
BAUM ERA OBAMA ERA BUT HE TOOK A BAD
SITUATION AND MADE IT WORSE.
>> I ANY WHAT TRUMPTHINK TRUMP’S
US THE CHANCE TO SHOW AMERICA
EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS TALKING
ABOUT AND PUT THOSE SOUND BITES
SIDE BY SIDE AND HEAR BIDE I
DON’T KNOW TALK-- BIDEN TALKING
ABOUT THE SOUL OF AMERICA AND
CHOOSING HIS WORDS CAREFULLY AND
THEN AN IDIOT RIFFING, HERE IT
IS, AMERICA.
IS, AMERICA. SIDE BY SIDE.
TALK A LOOK-- TAKE A LOOK, TAKE
LISTEN AND IT’S YOUR CHOICE.
>> IF YOU WERE IN COURT YOU’D
SAY, "YOUR HONOR, I REST MY
CASE" AND JOE BIDEN CAN’T REST
HIS CASE.
HIS CASE. I LIKED THE VIDEO PUTTING THE
CRISIS AT CENTER STAGE, WE MUST
GET RID OF DONALD TRUMP, HE IS
DOING TREMENDOUS DAMAGE TO THE
COUNTRY, POTENTIALLY LASTING
DAMAGE TO THE COUNTRY IF HE’S
ALLOWED TO STAY IN OFFICE AN
ADDITIONAL FOUR YEARS, IT WILL
BE MUCH, MUCH WORSE.
AND TO PAINT HIMSELF AS A GUY
WHO CAN STOP THE MADNESS, WHO
CAN GOTET US BACK ON A COURSE
WHERE WE CAN HAVE CREDIBLE
DEBATE ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY AND
DEFENSE SPENDING AND ALL THE
THNGTS
THNGTS THINGS WE SHOULD ARGUE ABOUT
RATHER THAN DEALING WITH THIS
LUNATIC IN THE WHITE HOUSE, THIS
FAMILY GRIFTERS THAT HAVE
ATTACHED THEMSELVES, LIKE
LEACHES TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
IT IN
IT IN IT’S INCREDIBLE.
IT’S INCREDIBLE. I AGREE WITH SOMETHING THAT
DONNIE SAID, YOU CAN PICTURE JOE
BIDEN UP ON THE DEBATE STAGE
NEXT TO DONALD TRUMP, GIVING
BETTER THAN HE GETS, RIGHT?
HE’S NOT GOING TO SHRINK FROM
TRUMP, HE’S NOT GOING TO LOOK
SMALL.
SMALL. HE’S NOT GOING TO LOOK
INSUBSTANTIAL IN THE LEAST AND
HE’S NOT GOING TO LOOK
INTIMIDATED.
INTIMIDATED. YOU KNOW, THAT’S IMPORTANT.
I THINK THOSE ARE NONVERBAL CUES
ARE IMPORTANT.
ARE IMPORTANT. >> FOR ALL THE LITMUS TEST AND
EVERYTHING THAT THE CANDIDATES
ARE BEING ASKED, THOSE POLICY
QUESTIONS WILL BE THERE.
BUT I THINK WHAT JOE BIDEN DID
YESTERDAY WAS TO TAP INTO
SOMETHING MORE ADVICE RAHAL,L VI
DONNIE SAID, DO YOU REALLY WANT
TO GO THROUGH THIS FOR FOUR MORE
YEARS.
YEARS. WHEN YOU GO TO DINNER PARTIES,
YOU TALK TO EACH OTHER, PEOPLE
AREN’T FEELING GREAT.
HE’LL HAVE SOME HARD QUESTIONS,
HE’LL STUMBLE, WE KNOW THAT,
FROM TIME TO TIME.
BUT WHAT HE WAS SAYING YESTERDAY
IS WE DON’T WANT FOUR MORE YEARS
OF THIS AND I’M THE GUY CAN PUT
A STOP TO THIS AND THE POLLS
SHOW HIM UP BY 8 POINTS IN ONE
POLL.
POLL. >> IF HE CAN STAY ON MESSAGE AND
IF THAT CAN REMAIN HIS MESSAGE
AND IF HE CAN TAKE CUES FROM
NANCY PELOSI ON HOW NANCY PELOSI
HAS EVERY TIME SOMETHING AS COME
UP THAT SHE’S BELIEVED WOULD RUN
OFF THE SUBURBAN VOTERS, THAT
PUT DEMOCRATS IN CHARGE IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO GIVE
THEM THE SUBPOENA POWER TO
ACTUALLY PUSH DONALD TRUMP ON A
LOT OF ISSUES, IF JOE BIDEN
