clearly a biden crowd. they had the signs that read run, joe, run, firefighters for biden and he was really teasing that announcement, almost getting to the precipice of the firefighters association told me he would get to the end of that diving board but not quite there just yet. i asked him, when are you going to make your announcement and he just said, pretty soon. we re in march. we expect it, most likely, in april. you just heard him say this country wasn t built on hedge funds. not that they re bad guys and listen to him talking about a recent controversy where he had kind words to say about mike pence and then had to take them back because of the lbtq. listen to biden there. mean pettiness has taken over our politics.
i appreciate the energy you showed when i got up here. save it a little longer. i may need it in a few weeks. be careful what you wish for. that was joe biden just within the last hour or so giving his biggest hint yet on his 2020 plans. already sounding a lot like a presidential candidate talking with firefighters in washington. their union cheering him on. the crowd chanting run, joe run. it s not just biden we re watching. you know who is hiding to iowa? multiple sources say beto o roarke is making his first trip to the state this weekend. yet another sign that after a pretty lengthy slow walk he seems ready to jump into 2020. mike is at joe biden s event in
political consultant. and speaking of actual signs, check out the ones that were waiting for folks at the joe biden event today. run, run, joe, run. susan jonathan, doug is with me. beto is going toize. if he is going to run, he has done either a great job of building suspense or ticking people off who say, would you just tell us already? he is pretty clearly getting in, even if it hasn t been confirmed yet. the question is how he will do. and he brings two major assets to this race beyond being a kind of combination of bobby kennedy and barack obama for his most ardent supporters. one, he can fill arenas. now, didn t used to matter in american politics, like nobody cared if michael dukakis got 6,000 or 4,000 people to his events. n nowadays it s a way of keeping
them boosted into school here. obviously people here reacting very shocked. back to you. steve patterson, pete williams. gentlemen, thank you. wild story. up next, meet joe, watch joe run, maybe, probably? run, maybe, probably er in invention and progress. but only 11% of its executives are women, and the quit rate is twice as high for them. here s a hack: make sure there s bandwidth for everyone. the more you know.
he may end up in the 2020 race. garre garrett, joe biden dropping hints. that frfrt s union has invited people in the past. it was just biden. on every side of the room there have a sign that said run, joe run. he s getting pushed hard. biden has been sort of sitting at 95% of ready to go for quite a while now. it s just a matter of getting the last 5% of making the decision, and big crowds like that could be part of what pushes him to do it. he s sitting at the top of almost every poll of the early states and nationally among democrats. i think one of the big questions has been can he keep the fire going? is he as a man in his late 70s
