obama could. her husband certainly did than obama. you can't play the saxophone or can't dance, no literally, he can't dance. [laughter] >> stop it, stop it. but because he doesn't have permission to be black in the way that the white man has had permission to be black, i'm not suggesting the bill clinton is the iggy azelia of president but aappropriated that to a certain degree but -- [laughter] >> there's a way in which obama doesn't have the privilege to be publicly black but i'm acknowledging that but at the same time he lack it is courage to tell some of the truths about this that hillary clinton might more easily do without the same amount of courage and yet it does take a certain kind of courage that speak back to whitens in the way that makes you appear to the very people that produce you, that's what i meant when i talked about hillary clinton. >> i want to remind that book is on sale. if black america has stood as perhaps the best constituent for limit of presidency, would it stand up in

all blue for president obama, all blue for president obama twice. what is the calculation? if you're the democrats you want to keep donald trump from turning this, this, and this, because if he did, just turn those four donald trump would be the next president of the united states, not hillary clinton or bernie sanders. the pro-clinton super pack thinks defending the states is part of defending the obama coalition. the owe fuss of the new ads women using donald trump's own words. >> you know you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her, wherever. does she have a good body, no. does she have a fas ass absolutely. er. who is flat chested is very hard to be a ten. >> and you can tell them to go [ bleep ] themselves. >> does donald trump really speak for you? >> that go bleep themselves every fact checker has taken it grossly out of contest. they haven't changed the ad yet, that's taken grossly out of context but to the general point they think the gender gap and reinforcing trump's own words what he said about women is the key to defending that

one thing we know the obama administration has changed about the u.s. military -- the words they use to describe certain activities. what did you make of the fact under the administration the pentagon required to refer to military actions against islamic terrorism as overseas contingency operations? >> yeah. >> and that the actual acts of islamic terrorism were to be referred to as man caused disasters. >> it completely exemplifies the approach of this administration that we're not even going to call the enemies what they are. which are islamic terrorists. >> critics say such language is part of the political correctness this administration requires of the military. some think it's harmless. others wonder. >> at ft. hood in texas, on a clear day in 2009, major nadal hassan, a doctor in the u.s. military, stood up on a table, shouted allahu akbar" and then began to fire. he killed 13 and wounded many other. it was a shocking event. >> staff sergeant alonzo lunsford, one of the 32 american soldiers hassan wounded that day. >> i blinked. he discharged the

president obama's eighth and last. the president expected to take the microphone about 15, 20 minutes from now. we've got our eye on the room. we've also spent some time asking people inside that room what they are going to miss most about this president's delivery. >> i know this family. i think they're fantastic. i actually helped campaign for him. i think that he has done an incredible job in the platforms that he's wanted to advance. but there are some things that we still need to address. >> i'm glad we're here. it's a great honor and a privilege. i love hi

obama had lie to the american people to get obama care passed. hillary clinton's health care meetings were deemed illegal because they were closed, they've both been not above board in the whole health care debate. obama's push federal government obama care is about the redistribution of wealth. if you wanteded better care for lower price, you move towards a free market. things not covered by insurance have gone way down. >> we're going in the opposite direction. this will be the second election since obama care. 2012, obama was re-elected, but that was before the big cost we've seen in the last couple of years kicked in. >> in many way, people have sort of gotten immune to anything we've criticized obama care. it was really hard to move opinion on it. something like this is very personal. going to hit people where it hurts and i think that's going to have an effect and i think steve is right. hillary, i don't buy it for a minute that hillary clinton wouldn't double down on obama care. she is the mind behind single payer systems. absolutely. >> t

because obama was talking about obama but what about the rest of us, obama? >> i think it's gotten easier to talk about the issues because of social media. in 1983 all you had was a very special episode of "227." but now you can get on twitter and can confront these things head on. >> i'm with you. it depends on who you're talking to. some will tell you it's better, my man bu-bop will say not. we need work. depends on who you're talking to, that's it because we're still marching, aren't we? >> larry: in what way do you think it's gotten worse. >> i just think it's still the same. we still need a black life matter. it's still necessary to say stop shooting black people. it's necessary still. >> i'll play optimist. i'll tell you how you think it's better when my grandmother came from puerto rico in the '50 if somebody did something to her she had to tolerate it and now i can beat some [bleep]? >> larry: the ability to beat this [bleep] has gotten better. i think the media holds people more accountable than they used to and i think it's because we see things mor

we also looked at what about barack obama's policies? those looking for less liberal policies than barack obama, i know this might be counter intuitive are actually supporting bernie sanders. 62% to 29% and 39% of the democratic primary e llectret i looking for the next president to pursue less liberal policies than barack obama and as we've seen before, hillary clinton does well with those voters looking to continue barack obama's policies. she wins them here 67% to 32% but again, they made up a smaller share of the electret, only 27% of the voters today were looking to continue the president's policies. >> very interesting, and david, so fascinating how much hillary clinton's electret in the primaries versus bernie sanders is the complete flip. >> it's amazing. >> of what she had versus barack obama eight years ago. she in 2008 was the voter -- i'm sorry, was the candidate who appealed to working class voters and appeal to white voters and now she loses them to bernie sanders almost every time. >> she's become the barack obama of this

barack obama visits hiroshima. obama is the first sitting u.s. president to go to the city where a warplane dropped an atomic bomb in 1945. he met survivors and called for a future free of nuclear weapons. also, a symbol of europe's inability to manage the refugee crisis. greece has cleared the refugee camp but all those thousands of people have to go somewhere. the u.n. condemns conditions as deplorable. and the oscars have been handed out, and tonight it was the lola's turn. welcome to the program. u.s. president barack obama has been in hiroshima for an historic visit, the first sitting u.s. president to visit since america dropped an atomic bomb on it. they said it was important to remember all those who lost their lives in the war, stressing the value of reconciliation, obama said the two countries had succeeded in fostering trust and cooperation in the postwar. >> the 79-year-old was a boy when the a-bomb fell from the sky on his way to school where the teachers and students inside died. he is an example of the dedication many japanese feel

under president obama we have seen reduction. we went through a terrible recession, and it had tremendous impact on manufacturing specific. so young men especially young men with lack of education, were hard-hit. we have seen a recovery taking place and seen -- >> and the president obama -- with these numbers that you're seeing? >> absolutely. >> a few other numbers here. >> let me finish. >> you may be interested. >> go right ahead. >> african-american unemployment, 9.2%. if you're young and african-american, you're unemployed at 32% rate. six times the national average. >> yes. this is nothing new. the is toreic pattern that has to do with discrimination and lower levels of education and opportunity and hard-hit. i was thinking breaking news on "cashin' in" in when mercedes is going on about donald trump. he doesn't even have an economic policy. i'd like to hear the specifics. such a great businessman, he won't release his tax return. >> oh, come on. seriously? >> what is his plan? >> let me tell you about mitt romney. >> let m

barack obama has no policy. i remind you toni morrison said bill clinton was the first black president. and she meant the way he was treated. michael eric dyson: not the substance of his ideas or the content of his vision or perspective. what she meant was they treat him like they treat the average brother on the street. they are dismissive of him. bill clinton had more permission to be black in public than barack obama does. barack obama cannot play the saxophone on a late-night show. he could not engage in the rituals. not without playing [indiscernible] are you stereotyping? charlie: he probably could and we have be applauded. you can sing al green as well. michael eric dyson: at the apollo certainly. among the people who are there. that constituency. or amazing grace at the church. but when i say permission to be black in public, the way obama part fromt inside a that remarkable sermon and is when heharleston goes to the white house correspondents dinner and he signifies his blackness in a way, radiates from

president barack obama's historic visit to hiroshima. nhk world has more. >> i state clearly and with conviction america's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. >> reporter: it was during barack obama's first year in office that he made this commitment. and now, nearing the end of his term, those words are still resonating. >> i believe we can draw inspiration from president obama's celebrated and often quoted 2009 prague speech. we have to insist, yes, we can. >> reporter: a united nations working group held a second round of talks in geneva on the legal framework to ban nuclear weapons. representatives from more than 80 countries and territories took part. but none were from nuclear powers. one atomic bomb survivor called out the u.s. for being absent. >> we were moved by president obama's statement in prague, yet the u.s. cannot even send a representative. >> reporter: there wasn't a delegation because washington thinks it's unrealistic to ban nuclear weapons with a treaty. and it's not alone. w

barack obama. [applause] president obama: thank you, everybody. thank you. well, welcome to the white house. [applause] pres. obama: and thank you, jahana, for that wonderful introduction. everybody please give the national teacher of the year a big round of applause. [applause] pres. obama: it's a little surprising that she got this award because you can tell she's a little shy -- [laughter] pres. obama: -- and lacks enthusiasm. [laughter] pres. obama: and yet somehow she seems to be performing pretty well in the classroom. [laughter] pres. obama: look at that smile. so for seven years, i've stood in the white house with america's finest public servants and private-sector innovators and our best advocates and our best athletes and our best artists, and i have to tell you there are few moments that make me prouder than this event when i stand alongside our nation's best educators. [applause] pres. obama: every year on this day, we say publicly as a country what we should be eager to say every day of the year, and that is to say thank you. that's what this ev

president obama has made exactly the same case. >> as for the substance of the issue, are you confident that the administration will compromise at this point? >> i think what is true is that administration has to put forward an accommodation that ensures that women nationwide have access to healthcare, including contraceptive coverage, coverage, without pay i might add. while also protecting religious liberty. we are pleased to announce this accommodation and to demonstrate that we were committed to both principles. now what is also true is there may be another process that plays out, because ultimately that was the announcement of this. will obviously continue to engage in the process, but we are pleased with the announcement today and the supreme court that protects the ability of millions of women nationwide to continue to get access to their healthcare. >> with the current supreme court term beginning to wind down the court today moving forward on the healthcare law, contraceptive mandate, we are joined by washington post supreme court correspondent, robert byrne. what did the court

and that is something that president obama laid out back in 2009. survivors i spoke to say they don't believe he has lived up to that commitment. so they will be watching that very closely. but just we know that the president has arrived at the peace memoriel and a short time from now we can expect him to lay that wreath by the peace arch there. memo memory. >>> add second nuclear bomb drops on nagasaki two days later. is the feeling from the japanese side that there should be some type of apology? what type of a feeling are you getting in the press ahead of this visit locally? can you tell us a little bit about that? >> the overwhelming sentiment is that there shouldn't be an apology. they don't expect an apology to be there. and 71 years later, that is really not what people are looking for here. they are looking for a commitment to really -- they want the president to first of all see what happened on the ground. keep in mind there's been no sitting u.s. president who has come to hiroshima who has visited the peace memorial and the museum, which

i wouldn't want to go after obama normally. in the room, clearly president obama did better than larry wilmore did. but when i look at the response from other people, i laughed at larry wilmore more than president obama. i thought he had fewer stinkers. i thought he had some jokes that missed as well, but not nearly as many. i thought he made people uncomfortable. sometim >> we all want to jump in on this. >> i thought he had a terrible night. he looked like he was mean spirited and want ed to settle the score with a bunch of ex-girlfriends in the crowd. it was awkward at times the way that he was trying to make things funny in a mean spirited way. i think if i had to buy a ticket for each pick one of the people there last night, obama or wilmore, i would pick obama because i thought he was much funnier. the room definitely responded, but i thought he went up there and was really mean spurted and most of the people in the audience were kind of like this is really awkward and that's the same way it came across on tv. >> especial

the former hiroshima mayor met with president obama in 2010 at the white house when obama said he would be willing to come here and six years later the moment was finally realized. so the majority of people welcome the visit. there were a handful of protesters here, probably in the minority as far as public opinion goes. people with signs were saying the world need to do away with nuclear weapons which was the message of probst and a handful of sign saying they protested the president's visit in large part because some people here do feel the united states owes japan an apology. president obama, of course, didn't give an apology. it's a very sensitive situation geopolitically here considering japan's own wartime policies specifically against china and south korea during and prior to world war. >> hunt: participation from obama's right wing critics at hope that it would be an apology tour. use said, he didn't apologize but he really gave, it seemed, a rather eloquent speech that was quite moving. >> and it was focusing on what we expected him h to say, al, which was to talk about the hor

lou: well, of course, trump is right, and obama, he's obama. now the quotation of the evening. on lame-duck presidents, and obama is one of them, often conflicted with lameness, dictated by the calendar and constitution and legacy often overlooked to the end of their term. this one from president bill clinton who said -- i think we're there. we're coming right back. hillary clinton can't escape her past, and the california primary makes her future uncertain. will the scandals that are dogging her and her campaign deny her bid for the white house? >> i don't know for a fact that hillary is going to be allowed to run. she's got a thing called an fbi investigation. i don't know that she's going to be able to run. >> reporter: lee carter and rich lowry join me next. >>> this daring skateboarder hoping to impress his friends but not everyone stopping in amazement. we'll show you the video and much more right after these messages. stay with us, we'll be right back. perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. libert

so i think that obama again feels boxed in. he was loathe to speak about race early on because he didn't want to be blackened like cat fish. he wanted to be free to breathe the air of the american presidency but here is the irony. every president before you has had to deal with the issue of race. you cannot be exempt from addressing that issue as well. >> rose: i'm sure he would say to you, i have not failed to speak out. i am telling you what he would say. i have not failed to speak out when i thought it was necessary to speak out, in terms of all of thoses cases in which we have had police violence. >> he would. and when i talk to him. >> rose: and he would say that, in terms of prisons, he with say that in terms of unemployment. >> right. >> rose: he would say all that. >> i will say what he said to . i don't have to hypothesize. when i am the white house-- . >> rose: i hear you. >> this is what he said. he said i told him i said you know, i disagree. to his credit he is not thin skinned as many of his followers are. i said

he talks about the economy during the obama administration. president obama: hi, everybody. i've a special guest this week. macklemore. for those who do not share the same love for the pop that i do, he's a grammy-winning artist, foralso an advocate disease we whisper about, the disease of addiction. macklemore: hey, everybody. i'm here with president obama because i take this personally. i had a problem. if i did not get the help i needed when i needed it, i would not be here today. i want to help others face the same challenges i did. dosesent obama: drug or -- overdoses take more lives than car accidents. a lot of times there from legal drugs prescribed by a doctor. addiction does not always start in a dark alley. it often starts in a medicine cabinet. a new study released this month from the 44% of americans know someone who has been addicted to prescription painkillers. macklemore: i did not just know someone. i lost someone. my friend kevin overdosed on painkillers when he was just 21 years old. addiction is like any other disease. it does not discriminate. it does not

barack obama has done that to some extent. president obama has pulled back from some of our commitments in the middle east, with consequences. trump, those consequences would be magnified times 100. the big losers, there is no european nations would lose if the american security umbrella pullback, but the biggest losers would be the united states of america. the biggest beneficiaries of the free and liberal world order that we have to edit and underwritten since 1945. donald trump does not understand that and the caller does not, but american presidents of both parties have understood that. michigan, republican line. brad is next. i would like to know what is wrong with negotiating trade agreements. it takes care of the american worker first and stops on countries from manipulating currency. simple enough 20 two through a security check to know who you are allowing it to your country? he is not talking about taking them out, he wants to slow it down. apart from hitting hispanics, i saw what was done. they are talking about the

it was the first stop of obama's trip. and while it wasn't open to media, the museum's director says obama seemed to show special interest in paper cranes folded by a survivor who died of leukemia at the age of 12, a decade after being exposed to radiation from the bombing. obama also wrote a message in the visitor's book calling for peace and a world without nuclear weapons. and he himself reportedly folded two paper cranes and left them on the table. the display touched other foreign visitors, too. >> we have to learn from our history, so the living, teaching about the cost, and also about when people gather for peace, something beautiful, some transformation can happen. >> reporter: in his speech, obama reiterated the message he left in the visitor's book. >> among those nations like my own that hold nuclear stockpiles, we must have the courage to escape the logic of fear and pursue a world without them. >> reporter: one of the listeners who was moved was emiko okada. she was hit by the bomb at theh age of 8. >> transla

we turn now to look at president obama and drones. on saturday night, comedy central larry whitmore criticized obama's reliance on drone warfare. during his remarks at the white house correspondents association dinner. he compared obama's foreign policy to that of reigning nba mvp stephen curry. >> it looks like you're really enjoying your last euro be presidency. i saw you hanging out with nba players like steph curry, golden state warriors. that was cool. it kind of makes sense because both of you like raining down bombs on people from long distances, right? what? in my wrong? amy: larry wilmore's comments come as the obama administration prepares to release for the first time the number of people it believes it has killed in drone strikes in countries that lie outside of conventional war zones. speaking last month in chicago, president obama addressed the issue of civilian deaths in drone strikes. >> there is no doubt some innocent people have been killed by drone strikes. it is not true that it has been the sort of willy-nilly, le

obama: so -- [applause] pres. obama: that's nice, i helped. [laughter] pres. obama: look, if you want to change this country for the better, you better start participating. i will give you an example on a lot of people's minds, the growing inequality in our economy. over much of the last century, we have unleashed the strongest economic engine the world has ever seen, but over the past two decades our economy has become more and more unequal. the top 10% of earners take in half of all income in the u.s. in the past, a top ceo made 20 times the average worker. today, it is 300 times. wages are not rising fast enough for millions of hard-working families. if we want to reverse those trends, there are a bunch of policies that would make a big difference. we could raise the minimum wage. we could modernize our infrastructure. we can make college more affordable. we can close tax loopholes on hedgefund managers and use that money to give tax breaks to help families with childcare or retirement. and if we did these things, we would help to restore the sense of hard

hillary clinton at the end of that really rallied behind barack obama. she had something to gain at end of it which was a secretary of state position. bernie sanders is not in that same boat. he's an independent who caucused with democrats and not necessarily looking toward his party future in the democratic party. there's a lot of friction that may not be -- >> hillary was a party person. >> that's so key with hillary clinton she wanted a democrat clearly in the white house, she wanted democrats. >> but sanders says repeatedly he doesn't want trump. >> but that's different than saying he wants the democratic party as it currently exists in power. >> bernie sanders sees himself as an indispensable historic figure. >> wow. >> he feels like sanders feels like it's his destiny to lead the democratic party and this is his last chance to do so. when you. you the it in those sort of grand terms, i think it looks a little different. >> let's get to that then. if that's his mind-set and you're hillary clinton and just told cnn that interview showed you earlier w

obama will be the first sitting u.s. president to travel to the city he plans to lay flowers at a cenotaph dedicated to the victims. and may visit the peace memorial mu seemed. the trip could give new momentum to an issue obama has pushed since the beginning of his presidency, abolishing nuclear arms. what are you seeing there? >> reporter: many citizens are having their daily weekday morning here. they are crowded with commuters going to school and work. you can see japanese and u.s. flags aligning along the street in front of the park. thousands of police patrolling all parts of the city especially in and around peace memorial park. authorities say police have been guarding the facility around the clock. some police officers went after the roof of the peace memorial museum on thursday to check for drones or other suspicion items. officials say they will seal off some areas in and around the parks starting from friday noon. journalists from around the world are gathering t the event. >> that would be very good. >> repor

obama would have said yes or no. politicians would have said, yes, we will approve it or know we will not geared i want a piece of the profits. we are making it possible to happen. i want a piece of the profits for the united states. that is how we will make our country rich again. just one way out of thousands. it is how we will make our country rich again and make america great again. do you understand what i'm saying? [inaudible question] this is a different pipeline? [inaudible question] do you like the idea? do you like the ideas? i'm not supposed to say this, but that's okay. we would look at it. i would look at anything. i'm going to look at anything. a lot of times, pipelines are so much better. it is underground. we will take a look at it. [inaudible question] okay. i am not aware of that one, but we will certainly take a look at it. my basic bias would be to improve. going to the right place to the right place. okay. we will take a look at it. [inaudible question] well, i tell you two of them that are very

. >> so is barack obama. they can't stop or build a wall. >> look, the frustration explained by andrew is real. it isn'ttheater. a lot of people are frustrated by reality. comprehensive liberal, anything. nothing gets done and by the way, boehner is a reason for it bringing up to a vote. they see nothing happening which is getting obamacare. i don't want to get rid of obamacare. they don't see their goals being erased. there is frustration and person in him. >> i would agree that trump -- >> not show biz. >> show men in someways but the reason he succeeded is because he has a message that resonates with voters so frustrated. he's had, you know, his reeling against trade deals for instance talking about building a wall which goes to immigration. i mean -- >> hold on a second. building a wall it's a fantasy, right? it's complete fantasy. >> talking about trying to -- >> trying to do something. >> so you're saying his platform and propels are a mere negotiating position. >> what does hillary say? >> i don't know

obama: like the red wedding. [laughter] pres. obama: it is not just congress. some foreign leaders have been looking ahead, anticipating my departure. last week, prince george showed up to our meeting in his bathrobe. that was a slap in the face. [laughter] [applause] pres. obama: a clear breach of protocol. although, while in england, i had lunch with her majesty the queen. i took in a performance of shakespeare, hit the links with david cameron. just in case anybody is debating whether i am black enough, i think that settles the debate. [laughter] pres. obama: i will not lie -- look, this is a tough transition, it is hard. key staff are starting to leave the white house. even reporters have left me. savannah guthrie left to host "the today show." nora o'donnell left to host "cbs this morning." jay favreau left journalism to join cnn. [laughter] [applause] pres. obama: the prospect of leaving the white house is a mixed bag. you might have heard that somebody jumped the white house fence last week, but i have to give secret service credit, they found michelle a

obama said ward leaders were rattled by the prospect of a trump presidency. here is trump's reaction. mr. trump: when you rattled someone, that is good has many of the world, many countries and are beautiful world have been absolutely abusing us and taking advantage of us. if they are rattled in a friendly way, we are going to have great relations with these countries. but if they are rattled in a friendly way, that's a good thing, not a bad thing. brent: let's pull in our correspondent in washington, d.c., who has been covering this campaign from the day it began. let talk about trump? where does he go from here? he's got that magic number in the bag. guest: you can really see how donald trump is enjoying that the world leaders are talking about him and now he has reached the magic number. let me explain where the numbers come from because there are not primaries here in the u.s.. they come from unbound delegates in north dakota and pennsylvania. the question now is is donald trump going to change his behavior? is he going to try to look more presidential? i

how is president obama's visit being received? >> reporter: it's hard to overstate how much this means to the japanese people and how powerful a moment this is. they have been wanting a u.s. president to visit this site for decades. they have been asking for it. talking about it. not necessarily looking for an apolog apology. that raises issues within japan as well and sentimnt that this government doesn't necessarily want to address in that way. uncomfortable feelings. this is what they were looking for. last night, we talked to the u.s. ambassador to japan. caroline kennedy. when people found out she knew president obama was coming here, she said they actually cried. they were looking for this kind of address to speak to moving beyond what happened here as hiroshima. obviously, it is something that both nations have to deal with. it's emotional on both sides, what happened here. to try to think back and picture it like president obama said. to be here. you are forced to imagine what happened on that day. he wanted to have this b

. >>> and -- >> obama out. >> -- obama's last laugh. we have the star-studded moments from the president's final white house correspondents' dinner. from abc news, it's "this week" here now, co-anchor, martha raddatz. >> good morning. and now the stage is set. president obama bringing down the house one last time at the annual washington ritual, the white house correspondents' dinner. reflecting on his eight years. poking fun at the men and woman who want to take his place. >> my eighth and final appearance at this unique event. and i am excited. if this material works well, i'm going to -- use it at goldman sachs next year. [ laughter ] >> this morning, it's all about who will succeed him. on to the future now. and three big unresolved questions. will tuesday's indiana election breathe new life into senator ted cruz's bid to take the race all the way to the cleveland convention? or will it put a practical end to the 2016 primary season? we'll talk to the senator in a moment. second question, how rough will the next stage be? we got a p

president obama looked forward to more dialogue on that. that's the same thing that the president of vietnam added in the course of making the announcement. >> it is interesting, michelle, president obama is spending three days in vietnam. the importance he is placing on helping those ties with the u.s. and vietnam. michelle kosinski traveling with the president. thanks. >>> bernie sanders is getting tough against the head of the democratic national committee. sanders is blasting the party, its presidential primary process and ramping up battle against debbie wasserman schultz. now fund raising for her opponent for her house seat in florida. sanders claims that despite his shortfall in the delegates, he has a path to the white house. cnn's sunlen serfaty has the story. >> reporter: bernie sanders is striking a defiant tone as he barnstorms through california in a middle of a five-day swing leading to the june 7th primary. as he speaks to supporters, he is trying to make the case to validate his path forward and staying in the race. although

obama dropping the mike, as he dlibbelivered his f address. the last ever in washington, and we hope you're going to have some laughs this morning. good morning, thanks for being here, i'm ana caberera. >> i'm victor blackwell. the commander in chief became the comedian in chief, altogether for the washington gala and he did not spare anyone, including himself. >> that's right. president obama cracking jokes at himself and just about everything from the media to the republican party to, of course, donald trump, a lot of anticipation to hear his lines against trump. he took good natured shots at democrats. here are the highlights. >> eight years ago, i said it was time to change the tone of our politics. in hindsight, i clearly should have been more specific. eight years ago, i was a young man. full of idealism and vigor. look at me now. i'm gray, grizzled, discounting the days until my death panel. hillary once questioned whether i would be ready for a 3 a.m. phone call, now i'm awake any way, because i've got to go to the bathroom. meanwhile,

ine of president obama hiroshima. historydent obama made moments ago in japan, the first sitting president to visit hiroshima. the president placed a wreath at ground zero. he said the bombing shows that mankind had the means to destroy itself. president obama: we come to ponder a terrible force unleashed in a not so distant past. dead.e to mourn the including over 100,000 japanese men, women, and children. koreans, a dozen americans. it is estimated the atomic bomb killed 140,000 people in hiroshima. president obama and other global leaders meeting in japan pledging to take global action on sacking economic growth. the group wrapped up their summit at a seaside resort. germany has resisted calls for an expansionary fiscal policy. france's president is vowing to defend new labor reform against union resistance. he spoke after police in paris battled protesters opposed to the reform. he said unions cannot dictate reform. workers walked out earlier this week creating a nationwide shortage and gasoline. global news, 24 h

charles: president obama becoming the first sitting u.s. president to visit hiroshima since the u.s. dropped an atomic bomb there that ended world war ii. the destruction he says demonstrated that mankind possesses the means to destroy itself. colonel peters, a lot of people debating whether this was an extension of president obama's apology tour that began at the end of his term. >> it was a stage crafted act of atonement. it's stunning. all the archly poetic language. for memorial day weekend, an american president rescripted world war ii to make the japanese the good guys and us the bad guys. he should have skipped hiroshima and stopped at pearl harbor on the way home. charles: i heard that so much on twitter. how did you feel about it? i saw you earlier with stuart varney you didn't think it was an apology tour. >> if japan didn't want to mess with the biggest dog in the fight, we wouldn't have nuked them. you shouldn't go over there and give an allusion to an apology. reporter: the president repeating the left wished the world would be

you saw president obama hug one of the survivors of the bomb. should he focus more on his international global legacy? >> it does seem like he's making a long-term play here. my grandpa is a world war ii vet. he's still alive. he's 92 years old. he would think this is a good thing from the perspective of honoring the dead and recognizing world war ii was a difficult loss for everyone involved. but from the tradition of honoring the dead to reducing our nuclear stockpiles. the use of the bomb in hiroshima is what kept the war from going on and killing millions more people. charles >> people have tons of nuclear weapons, but i'm worried about the one guy with a nuclear weapon. charles: gina, you are in san diego, there has already been some violence at the event. what are you hearing locally. >> i'm hearing some of the violence isn't as serious as it has been in previous days. there is a lot of enforcement on local police and prosecutors that if there are crimes that do happen that they are prosecuted. and i think traps that's led to some intimida

look at what obama's done to the entire coal industry. look at what you see happening again and again with court decisions that favor radical values. so you have this huge industry in washington of people who try to dictate to the rest of us how we should think, how we should act, what we should do. and they're faced with a candidate who represents the will of the american people who's prepared to have, you know -- you can think of take back washington as the subset of make america great again. if you're washington, that kind of scares you. >> what's happened is, it's really true, because republicans have allowed the entire obama agenda to pass. they never had the courage you had as speaker to let the government shut down. as i recall, you did it twice. they wanted to maintain power. they were afraid they were going to get blamed. they were timid. pretty much everything obama wanted he got with little opposition. there's not a difference between republicans in d.c. and democrats in d.c. and isn't that what the voters have been saying? >>

obama wouldn't do it. he did little pinpricks. he said there might be environmental damage if we bomb the oil wells and take their money away. >> that was another concern, sean. the reality is the obama administration could have destroyed isis if it wanted. we have the best military in the world. it's iran that didn't want this to happen because they wanted to seize those areas. this is where a trump administration is going to have a different strategy. we and our allies will destroy isis. details will come later. we're going to make sure the iranians and other jihadi group is not going to come after us. always the day after we need to think about. >> all right, guys. thank you all for being with us. good to see you, pete. congrats on the book. >>> coming up next tonight here on "hannity" -- >> you have millions of people out there that can't get jobs. we're going to bring our jobs back to our country and we're not going to let people leave so easily anymore. >> donald trump is a very successful businessman and he promises if elec

obama said if you ask the arnlg person on the streets have deficits gone up or down under obama, probably 70% would say they've gone up. the fact sin fact, they have declined. >> right. >> larry: and it seems like the public can't give a brother credit where credit is due, is what it seems like. so why do you, there's such a disconnect with obama's accomplishments in office? >> he's handsome. ( laughter ) yeah, that's what it is, he's handsome. >> larry: charismatic. >> he's too charismatic, he's got a wife and kids. he has it all. people don't want to give him credit. it's one thing he did that he should get credit for but there are other things that haven't been done so people are using it against him. >> larry: it looks like he has it all together so they're trying to give him some problem? >> yeah, he's like the really hot guy at school who is also a jock and is also good at theater. it's too much. >> i think he just doesn't brag enough. george bush put a banner up, "mission accomplishes!"! " "heck of a job, brownie." obama is just like i killed osama bin laden. what's for breakfast?

hillary clinton is running as a proxy for a third barack obama term. how does trump run against that? >> i think you saw on friday this great contrast where obama was talking about the economy and then he was asked about the presidential race and he went into great detail and basically criticized trump. he then lectured the media essentially for promoting trump in his mind and not fact checking trump enough. i do think you're going to see one thing the approval ratings obama show is that hillary and trump's numbers -- hillary clinton and trump both have pretty low numbers. i think some voters are seeing, maybe this president we already have is not as bad as we thought he was compared to the choices we now have in front of us. but i do think for trump there is a way, honestly most polls show that most americans, most republicans and some democrats view the country is on the wrong track. so trump and sanders are right, to some extent voters are nervous. hillary clinton speaks a lot about how a lot of people feel like things are struggling. bill clinton s

the obama administration remains cautious about direct talks with the north. it says it will refuse all proposals for dialogue unless pyongyang takes concrete steps toward the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. >>> u.s. president barack obama will use his visit to hiroshima western japan to promote his campaign for a world without nuclear weapons. obama will travel to the city next week after attending the g-7 summit in the ise-shima region. a senior director of the national security council said obama is committed to the message that disarmament is essential for global security. >> the president hopes by visiting hiroshima he will be able to revalidate that message to reaffirm that message as one that will not only mark his administration, but will also continue to be a strong american message for many years to come. >> he called on russia to join international efforts to abolish nuclear arms. he also said the u.s. will keep working with other countries to stop north korea's nuclear program. another official of the national security council told nhk ob

by the way it's not just president obama. it was a bipartisan thing, a lot of former republican officials saying they want to eliminate nuclear weapons, but i think there's a dangerous moral equivalency when you start focusing on american stockpiles, for example. you know, the 30 years leading up to the dropping of the bomb on hiroshima, 80 million people were killed in two world wars. with the american nuclear leadership, the last 70 years there hasn't been a world war. and, you know, yet you also have these bad actors with nuclear weapons which is where in my mind we should be to concussion. north korea is very realistic to think about them launching a nuclear strike. you that have always unstable pakistan with nuclear weapons there. you have potential nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists. you have potential of iran getting a nuclear weapon even with the nuclear deal. you lose focus on this conversation about nuclear weapons and the real danger and athlete of nuclear weapo threat of nuclear weapons when you
