To speak to a crowd of supporters in the crucial state of iowa these are live pictures of the event. Biden today intensifies his attacks against trump. Limit it to four years, this administration will go down in history as an aber ent moment in time. But give eight years to this administration in the white house, we will forever and fundamentally clang the character of the country. Bidens attacks, frank little, taking the white house off its game today. The president tweeted about biden four times yesterday. Today when his top aide Kellyanne Conway was asked about enfracture, the topic of the day for the white house, she included this in her answer. The question is how does President Trump plan to pay for his infrastructure plan . Kellyanne. Middle class is booming now despite what joe biden says. He also sounds like season who wasnt Vice President for eight years. Him aside and his nonsense aside, while im on the subject over biden, hes hovering everything now. Im curious is he against infrastructure . Hes been in government nearly 50 years. Why are the roads and bridges crumbling . Did you hear the word infrastructure was actually in there . Im glad it got in there. Look against the question there to kellyanne was about how trump would pay for the infrastructure plan. 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 . Hes 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 cnns 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 president ial 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 stakeout these clear differences between himself and the former Vice President when it comes to policy, calling out, citing differences in their vote on nafta and the iraq war. Today biden was directly asked about that criticism from Bernie Sanders as he had stopped at an ice cream shop in iowa. A reporter asked him about that biden simply said he is proud of his record and that hell be ready to engage with his democratic opponents in those primary debates. That first debate being less than two months away. But this is joe bidens third run for president. He has been here to iowa countsless times before. Hes never come to the state as a front runner, leylanding that Democratic Path today, biden is in an interview with radio iowa here in the state and says that he doesnt 2350e8 any pressure as the he doesnt feel any pressure as the front runner. He will work like the devil to win. He told a crowd in cedar rapids, no one is going to work hardner iowa than joe biden. Thank you very much. I want to go to the chairman of the Iowa Democratic party, who worked for obamas complain and Hillary Clintons complain. You heard arlette going through what biden told iowa, i dont feel praerks im going to work like the devil. Obviously, two polls show him to be the front runner by far. But you know, the National Polls as we know dont matter. What matters is the states. Is that the case in iowa . Reporter well, i think there is no doubt that Vice President biden starts with an advantage. You know, he has worked or ran twice now in the state in 1987 and 2007. Hes got a Strong Network in the state. Hes going to be able to tap into that as he hits the ground here now. Its still very early. There is a lot of people out there. A lot of people who i talked to who are undecide whod they will support on caucus day. I think there is a lot of time left and there is a lot of time. Epic, how long this is going on . All we do is campaign, no one governs. Thats an editorial note by me. Okay. Clinton won the iowa caucuss when you talk about who won by. 3 of a percentage point over Bernie Sanders. He came in at 49. 6. Obviously, people know. They liked him. Biden as you point out, hes been to iowa before. The last time we competed there in 2008, he got. 9 of a percentage point. Finishing fifth. That is nothing to be proud of. The sanders and others have a leg up. I mean if you are as well known as joe biden, do you have something to be concerned about . Well, i think that, i mean, listen, there is no doubt senator sanders also has a builtin advantage from the fact that he has infrastructure still in place from four years ago. But, you know, like i said, this is still anyones race at this point. I think the Vice President certainly has strong relationships here from those relationships from his past campaigns, plus also his time as Vice President. He made several trips into the state, both in 2012 and as Vice President. So you know he will have a nice place to start off with, from. But there is like i said a lot of time and this really comes down to who will build the infrastructure and who will put in the hard work to win over voters in every county in this state. Stay with me. I want to bring in jane sac who knows biden well and worked on his campaign and has been up close with joe biden over many years, bill crystal, editor at large and bulwark of the national standards. I know your feelings on the current president of the United States you heard biden. He is taking on trump. He is doing it aggressively. Thats his main focus. Would you vote for him . I might. I dont know if he will be the nominee. I think its smart of him as a Company Campaign strategy. One thing about biden, he had a success for Vice President of Barack Obamas coat tails, im joe biden, i have been here a long time. He does have a strategy, his strategy is to run against donald trump, not against the other 15 ore 20 or whatever there are democrats. 19 i guess. Ignore them and take on trump. Be polite to everyone else, convince democratic voters. Hes starting from a pretty strong place that he can beat trump. He can match up with trump. Thats all that matters. The nice guys, younger people mostly will squabble with themselves about this detail of policy or who is a little more liberal or progressive. This or that. I tend to be a biden skeptic in american politics. I usually go backwards and elect someone around so long, a Vice President before so to speak. I think hes rung an Intelligent Campaign so far. So, jen, to this point about going backwards and also as a nominee, nominating someone older, thats not the way democrats usually go. You spent two campaign cycles on the cane chair with obama. Biden was obviously there. You know him very well. You have been with him. A lot has changed over just these past few years. Is joe biden ready tore thefor . Well see. I think a part of what delayed his announcement is he was talking to his Campaign Team how hard this was going to be, this is not going to be a coronation. There was a lot of excitement behind them. The gloves were off. They were right. The gloves have been off since the should be encouraging to them the support is pretty strong, its strong under some important demographic groups, including africanamerican women. Thats encouraging to them. He is not running the campaign is high brow campaign against donald trump. He wants to position himself as the candidate. Bernie sanders is runing a brass knuckles campaign to take him out of the primary. You have to get through the primary to get to the general election. I think it has to be more than that between now and the primary start. I expect we will see more than that. Joe wide him is saying he doesnt want obamas endorsement. Obama is sitting this out. If you cant endorse joe bind, you are barack obama. Nonetheless, he says he whether wait it out. Biden says, thats okay. I dont use him. Something he said when he gave him the medal of honor. Here is joe bidens video today. Joes candid counsel has made me a better president. He could not have been a more effective partner in the progress that weve made. And then on the stump today. He continued. Heres joe biden. We choose hope over fear. We choose unity over division. We choose truth over lies and we choose science over fiction. Sounds familiar. Because it is . We are choosing hope over fear. Were choosing unity over division and sending a powerful message that change is coming to america. Yeah. Well, look, why is joe biden 38 right now . Not because he was a senator for 30plus years, he was Barack ObamasVice President. Barack obama is extremely popular, a twoterm president and hes got to play that card first. I agree with john, though, at some point, he can do this a couple months maybe, hell stay. He has built a nice little lead here. At some point the primary becomes a primary a real fight. He has to defend various votes, distinguish himself from other candidates. I do wonder at that point the normal democratic tendency which is to go younger. The democrats placed obama, go backwards, obama, clinton, carter, john kennedy, franklin roosevelt, all the democrats who have replaced republicans their average age is 48. Thats been the tendency among democrats, all the rules are gone, trump changed everything, who knows. I think biden is off to a good start. Agree with jane, he has to have a pivot okay going forward, what itself my vision . Troy, does age matter . Obviously, joe biden is a fewyearsolder than the sitting president. Does age matter from where you sit what you are hearing from voters . Well, i think what matters is who is going to put in the work. They want to know that someone who is going to be able to go out there and fight every day between now and the caucuses to the general election and more importantly fight every day in the white house for them and fight on the issues that matter to them. Thats what people are looking for, thats what they will be looking at when they talk to these candidates and size them up over the coming months. I look forward to the conversation that iowans will have with the Vice President s and candidates that are running. When cheese hope over fear, unity over division, the exact words that barack obama. Hes doing it on purpose. Is that all good or does that carry, tow, a great risk for joe biden . Look, i think right now he is wrapping himself in the cloak of a popular former democratic president. You always get more popular when you leave office. No doubt about that. He remains popular among the democratic electorate. If an endorsement wins an election, Hillary Clinton would be sailing to her reelection right now. Shes not. So i think joe biden needs to be mindful of that. He needs to pivot to what hes about, what hes going to represent. How hes moving things forward. He did a little of that today. He talked about the 15 minimum wage, buying into the public option. I think when voters tune in, they will want more. The poll today was interesting, too, 97 of people knew him. 51 knew about his policies, so hes going to have to define that so they have something to bite into when theyre making a decision down the road when people are really tuning in postlabor day. All right. Thank you all. And next, more controversial comments surfacing from steven moore. Its a growing number of republicans are raising serious concerns about trumps front pick for the Federal Reserve. Comments like that sure dont make me happy. Im sure they dont make you happy, either . Plus a rare moment in washington between democrats and President Trump. We agreed on a number, which was very, very good. I mean, it was all wonderful things, platitudes. Whats going on . And then this. It is a time for us to address the ugly stain of slavery that is a part of our history. Are reparations becoming the democrats litmus test . This is not a bed. Its a revolution in sleep. The sleep number 360 smart bed, from 999. Senses your movement and automatically adjusts on each side to keep you both comfortable. And snoring . How smart is that . Smarter sleep. So you can come out swinging, maintain your inner focus, and wake up rested and ready for anything. Sleep number is ranked 1 in Customer Satisfaction with mattresses by j. D. Power.

Pnc easy lock, so you can easily lock your credit card when its maximum limit differs from its vertical limit. And clover flex, for when you need to take credit cards when no one carries cash. Or requesting a call to help get a new credit card one that hasnt followed the family goldfish. Pnc make today the day. Tonight a trump pick in big trouble. Even nor, President Trump another pick for the fed facing a republican uproar for the past. More under fire sexist comments. Some of the latest to be unearth come from our k file which found a comment in which moore denounced the violent against women act in 1994, writing the bill would be more efficient if every household would write a check to a radical feminist group of its choice. Comments like these have mar cha blackburn unhappy. Comments like that dont make me happy. They dont make me happy either. If he is the nominee, i guarantee you one thing this will absolutely come up in that conversation. Absolutely. Okay. Jodi ernst said she would be unlikely to vote for moore. It isnt just women would be incensed, senator Lindsey Graham describing moores as problematic. More tells moore that he wants to sit down with all of them and say im not antiwoman. Manu, how much trouble is moore in . A significant amount of trouble. He had been normally nominated. Willer the republican senator said dont follow the paperwork to nominate him. The chances are incredibly slim. They would need to lose no more than three republicans senators to get his nomination through, already more than three are signaling significant concerns. You named some of them, including joni ernst, he would be unlikely to be confirmed if he gets nominated. Every republican senator to say they would be unlikely to vote with him. He does not plan to step aside at the moment, ultimately, this will be a decision for the white house, whether wha do they want to put their colleagues through this fight, moore would undoubtedly get skriet newsed and republicans can take a tough vote, democrats are simulating they will be in the nomination, the number two republican told cnn you have to know you are going to have, you are telling the white house they should know, they will get this analysis and scrutiny, it would be helpful before they nominated these individuals. All right. Thank you very much. I want to go to john walsh, and a member of the President Trumps reelecttory council, these comments from moore, this is a guy, i personally heard him speak this way, this is over many years, its extremely different. Its disqualifying. I think that we will see his nomination not come to fruition. Lets watch twitter tonight and tomorrow, i think even this president is going to have a hard time with that. I just have to say, i think steve moore is trying out on tv and oped columns for his job. He impressed the president for his willingness to just back him whatever he used to be a deficit hawk, deficits are terrible. Now deficits are fine. He needs to be hiked Interest Rates under obama. Now, no, the whole feds should be gone, they should lower Interest Rates under trump. So hes been looking for someone to do his bidding. He thinks he found him. I dont think this is going to work. Just to remind people of what moore says, another column from 2000, he complained about his wife voting for democrats, writing, quote, women are so malleable no wonder there is a gender gap. There are things like this. On this show. I and most americans love a woman that stands by her man and stand by her husband. I wanted to make sure we extended it to see my reaction to that rob. The flipside is that a husband should stand by his wife, too. Good one, rob. There you go, heres the thing. How does this happen that they get to this point. They publicly say they will put this guy out. This is all sitting there. Well, i dont think they properly vetted somebody before they put him out here. Having said that, you know, the question comes down to, will 53 senators or at least 50 in the republican rank and file find this to be so onerous, find it to be so terrible that they would not vote for somebody who based on his backgrounds is very qualified. The club for growth is a main stream conservative economic think tank. Most of these senators, all 53, would have interactions for the club he would be one of seven. So he wouldnt be the deciding factor to do something silly, like the gold standard. Yet, if this is your economic view. Have you some serious issues. I mean this the male needs to be the bread winner of the family and one of the reasons youve seen the decline of the family, not just in the black community but its also happening in the White Community as well is because women are more economically self sufficien sufficient. Wow, you know, some of this probably makes it more qualifying. Your job was opened up . I was waiting. It should have been opened. The decline of the family, look, again, ive known steve moore for a long time. I am shocked to see this stuff coming out. I have to take issue, enter the qualified he is a partisan person. He is not someone with a docto doctorate. I call it extremist. W
