obama or president obama. i would secretly cheer, i didn't see that, but that is the split nation of the book and how it was made and how it was designed the way it was, the turnaround art student, mrs. obama, president obama said to work hard and do well and once you have done well to turn around and reach back and help others. this opportunity has allowed me to do that. i was recently named a turnaround artist so i will be assigned to a school so i can help students like this to share my passion with photography and the arts and a portion of the proceeds donated to turn around arts program so along with a book tour, we are visiting turnaround art schools so that concludes my presentation. there is plenty of time for questions. we have a microphone? >> did you develop an ongoing relationship you might at this time share and email with this is obama or get a note from her? >> mrs. obama and president obama were such an inspiration in my life i don't see that relationship ever disappearing. i am grateful to hav

and the obama administration has -- former officials with the obama administration have not responded to us when we've checked on this. but ty cobb, a white house lawyer here, jake, has put out a statement that has a few holes in it. it says today, michael flynn, a former national security adviser for for 25 days in the trump administration and a former obama administration official entered a guilty plea of making a single false statement to the fbi. nothing about the guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than mr. flynn. jake, we should point out when the white house is trying to say that nflynn worked for the obam administration, they are the neglecting to mention that president obama fired michael flynn and tried to warn incoming president-elect trump during that meeting in the oval office on november 10th to stay clear of michael flynn. and then president-elect trump did not heed that advice. so there are some former obama administration officials who are seething a little bit this afternoon, jake, as the white house is trying to use them to shield the president from th

obama has done. while it might give him some sick pleasure, it's bad politic politics. two-thirds of republicans support. look at all the failed attempts to repeal obamacare. they were so unpopular that they finally -- they made obamacare popular. this is taking a toll on president trump's favorability numbers. >> julie: by repealing that mandate, not forcing obamacare down the throats of americans, that was a huge thing. a lot of americans will believe you should come to this country legally whether you are a child or an adult. i don't know if republicans would necessarily agree with that. where do you think his base stands when it comes to reversing all of what obama created? >> first of all, presidents are usually elected to reverse the policies of prior presidents. barack obama ran as the anti-bush, i'm going to end all wars. if pulling made policy, we would be in a world of trouble in this country. what's the point of a representative if pulling is about policy which is basically mob rule or wha

eric holder, official in both the clinton and obama justice department's. you discounting what they set about comey's conduct? >> there political support, who they write checks to, if they attend a briefing -- if they attend a fund-raising and you are going to say that needs to be investigated? that's nonsensical. >> pete: $675,000 to the wife of the number two in the investigation was running for congress. it means something. >> she took money from the state governor from the state democratic party in virginia. what also she supposed to do? you want them to be divorced over this? >> pete: in addition to reality in these extrinsic circumstances. >> political you may like the fact that they've done this, but that's the art of the deal. if there's nothing illegal or inappropriate or unethical about it and you can't make it that way by merely repeating that. >> pete: the american people are still great for for the fact that you have bob mueller doing his thing with the name michael horowitz, not a household name who seems to be a political is digging down to t

who was president obama working for? liberty mutual saved us almost eight hundred dollars when we switched our auto and home insurance. liberty did what? yeah, they saved us a ton, which gave us a little wiggle room in our budget. wish our insurance did that. then we could get a real babysitter instead of your brother. hey, welcome back. this guy... right? yes. ellen. that's my robe. you could save seven hundred eighty two dollars when liberty stands with you. liberty mutual insurance. wifiso if you can't live without it...t it. why aren't you using this guy? it makes your wifi awesomely fast. no... still nope. now we're talking! it gets you wifi here, here, and here. it even lets you take a time out. no! no! yes! yes, indeed. amazing speed, coverage and control. all with an xfi gateway. find your awesome, and change the way you wifi. lou: president trump's attorneys are criticizing mueller's tactics and accuse him of being unethical. he obtained thousands of emails from the trump transition team. the hours claim they vi

it really is amazing, ambassador, that obama, president obama just laid back when it came to everything. i will never forget the prayer breakfast that first national prayer breakfast and i don't recall who had just had their head cut off, and the president comes out and says get off your high horse, it's really your turn. laid-back for everybody. but there's got to be americans out there who's kids died at about that time from overdoses who have to be infuriated. talk about blood on the president's hands. this is a lot, it's a lot clearer here. but i want to talk about someone else now. i'm going to ask that they put the sound on klapper. his criticism of president trum president trump, it goes so far as to try to show how vladimir putin is using the president as an asset, take a listen. >> i think this past weekend is illustrative of what a good case officer vladimir putin's. he knows how to handle an asset. and that's what he's doing with president. >> you are saying russia is handling president trump as an asset? >> that the appearance to me. >> jeanine: what is so amazing, the back

>> or barack obama. >> we are not talking barack obama. >> of course we are talking about him. >> president trump brought down our discourse. >> how did a fox news reporter feel when he was criticized by barack obama. >> we can criticize president trump. >> some of us do. >> president trump in his rift with the fbi. it was turned up a notch. that's next. mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow. but after an electrical fire from faulty wiring, mary's vintage clothing and designer shoe collection were ruined. luckily, the geico insurance agency had recently helped mary with renters insurance, and she got a totally fab replacement wardrobe at bloomingdale's. mary was inspired to start her own fashion line, exclusively for little lambs. visit geico.com and see how affordable renters insurance can be. these days. he is at mar a lago tweeting again and again that the bureau is tainted. still fired up about the investigation into his campaign's possible ties to russia. watergate report carl bernstein takes issue with that. >> there is only one institution that has been tainted throug

don't worry about president obama and his people. gregg: i think a career service gsa guy didn't know any bert and got bamboozled. if you obtain evidence like that illegally it's automatically suppressed under the exclusionary rule. if there are privileged documents in there and mueller's team looked at them and apparently they did, they are to be disqualified. lou: they were because their questions on them apparently. gregg: mueller probably could have gotten a subpoena or warrant to get these things. lou: even those things that are privileged? gregg: the law says you set up a team that segregates the privileged material. lou: others would argue the mueller team is one of those. gregg: that's a tainted team. you are missing the e-d on that. if that's true, everybody on the mueller special team saw these documents and arguably they should all be dismissed. lou: will they be dismissed, play fair, or is the fix in. gregg: the fiction could be in so many different ways because we have seen it over and over. congress needs to get involve

i wouldn't put it past president obama for doing that it's a curious comment from president obama given the history of divisive divisiveness. baltimore and ferguson went against police officers when they were innocent. president who was divisive. >> trish: jessica, what about the fact is he doing this in his first interview with a royal by the way prince harry and doing it on overseas soil? there used to be unwritten rule you don't criticize when you are abroad yet he did. >> i don't think that that matters actually for what's going on here. i don't think the venue matters or who he was speaking to. i think kailey said he may have been talking about donald trump. weighs absolutely speaking about the president. and i think that we have all acknowledged that there is a certain way in which the president uses his social media accounts that is not necessarily what we have come to understanding as presidential. but to kailey's point, president obama was so divisive, i mean, when you look at the polling, even on this issue, president trump, 66% of americans have said he has done more to divid

the republican party was spineless in stopping obama and that's why we have this. david: you make a good point. john brennan former cia director was one of these who thinking you could pacify hezbollah and iran itself. there were some people in the republican party that said this is nonsense, but not enough, right? >> no, they were semi intimidated by the p federal government or barack obama, and john brennan is the most shamelessly appointee for a high intelligence post in modern times. what this underscores, david, this is government, this previous government was abject for appeasement, didn't mind iran dominating the middle east and didn't mind the terrorism the way they should have and finally the truth is coming out. david: bruce, you have to admit in order to get the iran deal the obama administration bent over backwards and excused them for a lot of stuff they shouldn't have been excused for? >> the iran deal seems to be working in the sense we don't know they're building nuclear weapons. i would put this back on trey gowdy, i think he needs to grab more hai

obama was stirring up trouble. he was ignoring the law in order to get his iran deal, which is not popular with conservatives. >> dana: let me get kimberly and hear about the dea. how important is their work in the war against drugs, to try to disrupt these rings funding terrorist activities and bringing a bunch of drugs into the united states. >> kimberly: it is pivotal. you can't imagine the amount of lives impacted by the hard work they do. they are really unsung heroes in terms of people. dea, sounds good, we know they're busy. but they don't realize the impact because so much of what they do also serves as a deterrent and really prohibit some of the criminal conduct, consumption with drug dealing, weapons, arms dealing, all of the above. so much of it ties together and they work with atf as well. they kind of coalesced in terms of the two agencies working together. i think they've been very good in terms of their ability to do these investigations and curtail the amount of drugs coming into the country. >> dan

and barack obama. bill: did not fight the right fight. gave into easily on some of the important things. how can people listen to your -- host: how can people listen to your radio program? bill: go to bill pressshow.com. we are on every platform, like c-span, we have a podcast. we are on free speech tv, part of directv. we are on youtube. you can stream live. you can connect with all of those, going to bill press show .com. host: let's go back to this photograph, yesterday in the new york times, from the south lawn of the white house. among those on hand, the chair of the senate finance committee, orrin hatch. >> mr. president, i have to say that you are living up to every, everything i thought that you would. you are one heck of a leader. and we are all benefiting from italy could not have passed- -- and this could not have passed without you and the leadership in the house and the senate, paul ryan and mitch mcconnell. and other leaders as well. all i can say is that we are making headway and this is just the beginning. just stop and th

gallup. 38% for trump. 51% for obama. cbs, 36 for trump. 50% for obama. quinnipiac, 37% for trump. 46% for obama. you get where i'm going here. those are the numbers. those meet our polling standards. my question to you, why this insistence on comparing himself to president obama? >> let's address the polls. rasmussen poll was probably the closest one that picked president trump as being the winner. cnn didn't hit that mark and then nbc didn't hit that mark and neither did gallup. so start with that. he's going off something there. the second thing is everybody talks about the president is obsessed with president obama. the president made a promise to the american people to undo a lot of the dangerous policies of president obama and he's keeping his promise. i know thaes unique and bizarre, but this guy is a business fwi and he knows how to achieve goals. that was his goal when, that was the promise he made to the american people and that's been his singular focus. it's not focused on obama. focusing on the promises he made to the american people. it's en

of obsessing over president obama's tweets. the bawms said happy holidays on their official cards. the trumps said merry christmas. it was beautiful. melania trump did an amazing job. but "the washington post" slams her and call her decorations ominous. it was beautiful. but the media will never give her that credit. jesse: president obama's christmas cards said happy holidays, now they say merry christmas. take a listen to this. >> i never had a problem with white people ever in my life. but full disclosure, the poor whites are my least favorites. donald trump is going to go to washington and he's going to fight for us. i'm standing there thinking you dumb [bleep]. you are poor. he's fighting for me. jesse: he's just a comedian. but there is an under tone that the dumb poor white trump voters are getting hood winged. do you take this seriously? >> i do take this very seriously. we live in a society where liberals like to put people in groups based on their socioeconomic status. this was completely over the line. imagine if thi

something the obama administration did not actually do. what do you see are the next steps the administration can and should take with regard to the russian menace especially in europes. nato at the moment in your view up to the task and the challenge and we have seen some increase in nato defense spending this year after tremendous pressure from the united states? >> these are the same russians we're supposed to be colluding with right? isn't it so interesting? look at every russian policy we've had in the last ten months. practically everyone has been bad and these are the people we're supposed to be colluding with. so yes. in recent months and years we've been some leadership come out of nato. especially the military side. for a man that hated nato allegedly we managed to get nato to commit to something we've been trying for 30-years to get them to do. to spend the requisite amount on defense. they agreed and this is the art of the deal. if you want to understand the president, read his book it tells you how he operates and it's very su

: an intervention. >> anthony: i think so too. >> president obama: i think you >> president obama: i think you just gotta say, "you know what? that's not acceptable. i'm sorry." ♪ >> anthony: we are at a point where we seem to be turning inwards. i mean, we're actually talking about building a wall around our country. and yet, you have been reaching out to people who don't necessarily agree with us -- gaza, iran, cuba -- i mean, i just wish that more americans had passports. the extent to which you can see how other people live seems useful, at worst, and incredibly pleasurable and interesting at best. >> president obama: it confirms the basic truth that people everywhere are pretty much the same. the same hopes and dreams. and when you come to a place like vietnam and you see former american vietnam vets coming back, when you see somebody like a john kerry or a john mccain, two very different people politically and temperamentally, but who were able to bond in their experience of meeting with their former adversaries. and you don't make peace with your friends. you make peace with

president obama, you talked about his vacations. president obama by cbs's count with 328 days outside the white house, as we saw, president trump has already will 111 days in his firstee, he's going to outpace the obama eight years if he keeps it up at this space in the space of at least three years. the point is, so the naked hypocrisy doesn't bother you and the president profiting on the office of the president doesn't bother you? >> i didn't say it didn't bother me. i certainly don't -- when i hear people say things in campaigns that i know could come back to haunt them, it does make my cringe. on the profiting issue, i don't know that he's profiting. he has said he's divested from his business is and taken steps to separate himself from the businesses. he was not going to stay at those. i think this was known before he -- >> he's not divesting from his businesses. the sons are controlling the empire. >> of course he's note divesting from his businesses. you know, he's still very much engaged in it. it's part of his family. he is

negatively obsessed with obama or less well-known than barack obama. >> that also hurts. >> painful. >> on the women, because the kay gallup asked this, most admired man and woman. hillary clinton up there. michelle obama behind her. behind her, oprah winfrey, elizabeth warren and angela merkel. you think about alabama where women and specifically african-american women were so key to changing the state red to blue. what does it say that so many of the women on this list, this question to both of you, seem to be of the left or center left persuasion? >> well, i mean, i think we'll find out what that means when the midterms roll around. you can set your watch right now to how long it takes for donald trump to start tweeting about this poll. because i agree with joy. i do think it drives him nuts and he is ranked below a woman he -- a woman he defeated in a presidential election. and the president he succeeded. this kind of stuff grates at him. and it's right where he lives. and he'll dismiss the polls as lacking credibility. he tends to cite polls that favor him as being more credible

. >> i accept your nomination to run and serve with barack obama! >> weathered setbacks. >> you were on the verge of dying, weren't you? >> the hearings caused an incredible backlash. >> and endured devastating personal tragedies. >> we can always get another senator but they can't get another father. >> you cannot lose a child and three months later get on the campaign trail. >> this was a tough one. he said beau was his soul. >> he has stepped off the political stage but doesn't hold back when it comes to an unconventional president. >> i wish during high school i could take him behind the gym. >> joe feels viscerally this is a guy who talks about representing the people that joe grew up with and has no feel for them. >> does joe biden still have more history to make? >> do i regret not being president? yes. ♪ ♪ >>> do you think you could go to your grave never having run for president? >> oh, man, you're tough. >> you going to run for president? >> are you going to run? >> is there no scenario in which you could see yourself getting into this

but president obama did have some warnings. listen to what he said. >> the question i think really has to do with how do we harness this technology in a way that allows a multiplicity of sroutsz, allovoices, but doesn' toledo to a eventuvulcanization. i'm not sure government can legislate that but what i do he believe is that all of us in leadership have to find ways in which we can recreate a common space on the internet. the dangers of the internet is people can have entirely different realities. they can be just cocooned in information that reinforces their current biases. >> we have certainly seen that. i know this whole interview wasn't interest serious policies. prince harry got some personal details from president obama. >> reporter: he sure did. they have such good chemistry together. president obama does miss his motorcade when it comes to traffic. the last bit for last. there was a quick fire round. now listen to this. >> harry or william? >> william right now. >> "titanic" or the bodyguard. >> "titanic". >> sui. >> c

obama has stirred controversy for his veiled jabs. at an event in chicago earlier this month, president obama raised eyebrows while talking about the need to protect american freedoms like the press. a regular target of president trump's frustration. mr. obama suggesting the u.s. could go the way of germany in the 1930s it citizens grew complacent. saying we have to attend to this -- or else things could fall apart quickly. there's also the question of whether the obama's, were close to prince harry will get an invitation to the big royal wedding in may for the end of president trump will be snubbed by the royal couple. reddish tabloids report some government officials worry not inviting the current president could strain u.s. u.k. relations. the prince is the guest list is still up in the air. >> ed: i suspect after that interview president trump may not want an invite. thanks for giving us all the information. with president trump tearing apart his predecessor's legacy, one government regulation at a time, it's probably not surprisi

president obama allegedly said give them a free pass, we really care about iran. much of the news this year has been the special counsel robert mueller's investigation. how concerned are you that this special counsel himself, his team is riven with conflicts of interest and the entire investigation is tainted by bias and maybe corruption, and fairness cannot be achieved? >> i think we moved beyond the idea that bias which i think is well documented and pretty yell understood from senior people on mueller's team within the department of justice. i worry we are into this collusion category. it's not trump's collusion with the russians. we are worried about collusion with the hillary clinton campaign and i also worry after the election what did they do, particularly bruce ohr and his wife, the news gps age. there are so many different facets to this story. it should worry everybody. that's not what justice looks like in the united states of america. gregg: does there need to be a reopening of the investigation into the hoik email scandal give what we learned about pe

, former president obama? >> david: to be fair, is he really talking about trump? is he talking about -- he is critical of president trump, there is no question there. he has withdrawn from the paris accord. obamacare is teetering. things are failing that obama put in place. i can understand that i think we are assigning too much value to obama's opinion in an interview on this. that's what i really think. i think let it play out. some people will take it one way or another. let it just move on to something that matters. sounds like -- got hurt. >> david: how do you get hurt by someone typing something. >> one of the dereks and successes. >> maria, i have a question for you though. this isn't the first time. even though he didn't name president trump, why have seen president obama be critical of the current president president trump. so why is obama not paying that same respect that we saw from george w. bush. >> george w. bush is criticizing president trump. >> obama's term and let him be president. why isn't

bush and president obama. i briefed pdbs in the obama administration and i was briefed on pdbs in the latter half of the obama administration and what i can tell you is that chicken soup for the soul, the pdb is not. it is not an uplifting read. it is very rarely has good news. most of which you read in the pdb is bad news, devastating developments, it is dire analysis of the most important and challenging threats we face. and it's presented in the pdb precisely because the president has to deal with these issues. simple issues do not make their way to the president's desk. only the most complex and challenging ones do and it seems from this report today that president trump is not willing to grapple with these issues and in doing so he's not willing to dispense with the key function of this office. >> evan, your reaction to this "the washington post" report? >> yeah. you know, i think for years now through this whole process, the campaign and after it, so-ous have warned against the president's unfitness. thi

obama is reacting to. we know most of the things that are coming up and we would just structure the day around those events so if it was a long day for them it was a long day for us if they were traveling on the weekend, we were traveling on the weekend. i was there for four years and there were four years when i didn't see very much of my family. they appreciated what a special role it was to have this opportunity. there were some days that were slow in so you just have to be ready. i was fascinated by the picture in the mirror room because the two women were looking at each other and not a nod at the magnt mirror image. who was the other woman? >> the prime minister's wife to italy. >> how much access did you havee to the living quarters? >> there was a basis we were invited to that could be like if mrs. obama was hosting a spouse for tea to the yellow oval but it was reserved as their space and you were there when yo are e invited to be there to hav seen pictures from other administrations and heated ar

obama was so weak. i think they would probably rather have hillary clinton or barack obama in the white house because they could walk all over the united states. they don't like a strong president. they don't like a republican president who will basically oppose all of the things that the russians like to do worldwide. but i think the russians respect president trump. gregg: including providing arms in ukraine, which has really angered the kremlin as well. >> it has. boy, if there was collusion between president trump's campaign and the russians, why would he do such a thing. the collusion thing is just such nonsense. i'm hoping we're going to learn that soon from mueller. gregg: as i've written before, collusion accepting antitrust is not a crime. we're coming right back with much more. stay with us. >>> president trump guarantees his historic tax bill will produce an abundance of jobs for the middle class and businessings. >> i consider this very much a bill for the middle class and a bill for jobs. a

former president barack obama opening up about life after the white house. and how he feels about social media today. all this in a rare interview with prince harry. ana is live in london with more. tell us about this conversation >> reporter: well, it was the first interview president obama has done since he left office. that in itself was interesting. here's what he said. >> the question i think really has to do with how do we harness this technology in a way that allows a multiplicity of voices, diversity of views but doesn't lead to a balance canization of our society but rather continues to promote ways of finding ground. i'm not sure congress can legislate that. all of us in leadership have to find ways to recreate a common space on the internet. one of the dangers of the internet is that people can have entirely different realities. >> it wasn't all serious politics. there was some personal stuff, a lightning round. how did that go? >> reporter: it was so good. they have such good chemistry. obama said he doesn't miss early morning starts. he misses t
