he see a path together? we're bringing in senator doug jones on exactly that. >>> and a joe biden alert, in or not? looks like we're very close. how close? he gave us a number. let's get after it. ♪ >>> paul manafort may not spend the rest of his life in prison, even though that's what mueller asked for. he got a sentence far less than the 20 something years they wanted, he got 47 months and credit for time served, knocking it down to just about three years, maybe even less with special programs once he gets in. he still faces a lot of time from a judge next week in d.c. but this is, no doubt, a victory for him relatively. let's bring in cuomo's court, neil katyal, and harry litman. neil, am i wrong, i'm saying manafort got it easy. i know there was a day where this type of time for these types of charges, but when they were asking for a quarter century, four years seems good. >> it wouldn't describe it as a victory. he obviously got a much lower sentence than what mueller asked. but as you point out they've got next week before judge jackson because manafort committed so many crimes,

, former vice president and perspective presidential candidate joe biden. he says not once, never in all his years on the campaign trail did he ever believe that he acted inappropriately. that's in response to allegations from a former nevada state lawmaker. she says biden made her feel uneasy, gross, and confused before a campaign event in 2014. here's her description of what happened. >> very unexpectedly and out of nowhere i feel joe biden put his hands on my shoulders, get up very close to me from behind, lean in, smell my hair, and then plant a slow kiss on the top of my head. and that in and of itself might not sound like it's a very serious thing. that in and of itself might sound like it was innocent and well-intentioned. but in the context of it as a person that had absolutely no relationship with him afterwards, as a candidate who was preparing to make my case for why i should be elected the second in command of that state, to have the vice president of the united states do that to me so unexpectedly and just kind of out of nowhere, it was just shocking. >> biden's team first p

hundred bucks a month. >>> joe biden is used to gaffes but not used to getting heat from his own side. during a speech on thursday the former vice president highlighted the trump administration by highlighting the silence mike pence got last month. but biden committed a cardinal sin, complimenting him. >> the guy is a decent guy. our vice president who stood before this group of allies and leaders and said i'm here on behalf of president trump. and there was dead silence. >> cue the outrage. cynthia nixon joe biden you just called america's most anti-lgbtq elected leader a decent guy. how does this fall on the ears of our community. others called his comments disqualifying. biden was quick to cave, i mean respond. he said your right, i was making a point in a foreign policy context that under normal circumstances a vice president wouldn't be given a silent reaction on the world stage but there's nothing decent about being anti-lgbtq rights and that includes the vice president. so, as biden considers a 2020 run will voters have an appetite for someone whose inclination is to reach

to react. i felt shocked, powerless, i felt like i couldn't move. >> the woman who says joe biden touched her inproet prappropria speaks out as the vice president releases his first statement on the controversy. >>> border battle, is it possible for the president to shut down the border as he threatened to do? new reaction this hour. >>> why republicans seem to want no part of the president's latest efforts to get rid of the affordable care act. >>> happening this hour, widening political fallout in the battle over release of the much-anticipated mueller report. democrats set a tuesday deadline for the attorney general to make the unredacted report app. william barr says he'll release a redacted version by mid-april or sooner. this morning echoing chair adam schiff the report could have evidence of collusion, even if the special counsel concluded there was no criminal conspiracy. >> the conclusion is there was not explicit collusion conspiracy but it does not mean there is no evidence. my guess is when you see the whole report, you will see good reasons, good reasons for why a number of p

course, kicks off the presidential nominating process. joe biden is leading a new poll ahead of the iowa caucus. the former vice president has not officially announced, but he now leads bernie sanders by two percentage points. that is, though, within the margin of error. in third place, senator elizabeth warren, followed by senator kamala harris and former representative beto o'rourke, who is still teasing a possible 2020 run. senators cory booker and amy klobuchar coming in at 3% a piece there. today, democratic presidential hopefuls are returning to the campaign trail, and here are some highlights from 2020 democrats speaking at south by southwest yesterday. nbc news asked beto o'rourke when would he announce, and he said he's on a, quote, timeline that works for my family and for the country. then, senator warren was asked how she's ideologically different from bernie sanders. >> bernie has to speak to what democratic socialism is. >> you are not one? >> i am not. and the centrists have to speak to whatever they are doing. what i can speak to is what i'm doing. markets have to have ru

educate them. >> one of the democrats who is planning on jumping in soon is joe biden. >> yeah. >> excited by the joe biden announcement. >> my husband said, if joe biden were a super hero, he would be gaff man. i makes so many mistakes. listen, great. joe biden, go ahead and run. run on your record. stagnant wages, jobs leaving this country, manufacturing jobs fleeing the united states of america, of bad trade deals, bad foreign policy. we have a president who is finishing his second summit with kim jong-un. he walked away because he said, we're not going to take away the sanctions if you are not going to denuclearize. let's look at what was happening under the obama administration. north korea was firing missiles every 24 days. that's what was happening. president trump, under his administration, it has been 458 days, he has increased the sanctions and the president has strengthened our country with his strong, strong support of our military and his strong stance on the national stage. joe biden, please run. run on your record. we would love to have that. >> that's an invite

. likely democratic caucus goers picked joe biden who has yet to declare as their top choice with announced candidate bernie sanders a close second. but history could be working against biden and sanders who will be 77 and 79 years old on election day. every democratic president in the past 60 years has been in their 40s or 50s. maybe giving hope to some of the younger contenders who are in the race or exploring a bid. the democratic field also got a preview of just what some of the crucial early caucus goers want in that poll. an overwhelming 83% said they want a candidate who will harness positive energy in the party rather than anger at president trump. 81% said they want the candidates to spend a lot of time talking about health care, 80% said the same about climate change, setting up core primary values. 67% of likely caucus goers said they want a candidate who fully backs new taxes for those with more than $50 million in assets. 65% said they want a candidate who backs the green new deal in full. 56% would be satisfied with a candidate who wants to make the u.s. more sociali

jonathan allen. thank you both for joining us this morning. let's look at the iowa poll. joe biden is leading followed by bern na sbernie sanders, is thi name recognition? >> it reflects the larger fight that we're seeing within the democratic party. you have a more moderate candidate like joe biden who hasn't even formally declared and said whether he will run in 2020 although there is speculation and then you have bernie sanders, the more progressive, further left wing member of the party. if joe biden decided not to run for president, i believe it was 30% of those polled said that they would go ahead and support sanders as the lead candidate. there certainly is an overlap of support between those two even though their politics and where they fall on the ideological spectrum are pretty far apart. >> it is a big if. i believe it's 95% that he has committed to run a krording to a "new york times" here. they say 70% say joe biden is not too liberal or too conservative. 44% say bernie sanders is too liberal. this is a political debate abso. we keep saying it's way, way early. it may be

runs, joe biden would be the most experienced in the field. that could be his biggest asset and his biggest liability. >> i think america is in a better position to lead the 21st century than any time in american history. >> some of his positions from the last century may be problematic. >> madame president, we have predators on our streets that society has in fact in part because of neglect, created. >> biden's exampling of what is now considered a controversial crime bill is just a ghost of his past that could come back to haunt his 2020 candidacy. his handling of aany ta hill's testimony, and there are more. biden's experience in the senate and as vice president gives him the gravitas and name id that would serve him well. could he get through the new democratic party in a primary first? it's not just the baggage or past issues that could be a problem, his long time identification is as a so-called centrist or center-left guy is an issue for the democrats progressive wing hoping to push the party to the left. speaking of the progressive wing, coming up on "the beat" elizabeth war

vice president joe biden leads the poll right there. followed by vermont senator bernie sanders. there's no doubt the race is starting to heat up. let's talk about it. van jones is here and alice stuart. so, good to see both of you. huge jump for kamala harris. what do you think of the momentum? >> i think she's catching fire and it makes sense. when she first came out she had the most disciplined rollout of all the candidates even to this date. but she got kind of like this counterfire online by people saying she was bad on criminal justice and all sorts of stuff. i think it artificially lowered her national appeal. i think she's finally shaken that stuff off. and the reality is, a lot of people who like a hillary clinton, who like a strong woman could like her. a lot of people who like a barack obama could like her. i think she's nationally starting to gather that coalition around her. >> i think you're right. i don't think that's a bad thing. get it out of the way, address it, move on. she's gone through the fire and now she can take on -- and that's what happens when you run

laser focus on one key issue. and why joe biden is getting an ear full from the left for something he said about vice president mike pence. but first we're going to start this hour with breaking news. this has just come into us regarding otto warmbier. that's the american college student imprisoned by north korea back in 2017. later released and returned to the u.s., but he did die shortly after his return. president trump just thursday said kim jong-un gave him assurances he knew nothing about warmbier. the president took him at his word. now the warmbier family has released a statement after the comments from the president. let's go to hans nickels at the white house. hans, a lot of people on capitol hill including members of the president's own party critical of the president's statement. what does otto warmbier's family have to say about it. >> his family is breaking their silence and breaking with president trump. 14 months ago they sat in the first lady's box during the state of the union. let me read their statement. it's crystal clear. they say we have been respectful durin
