it's a sunday and yet mr obama does here. now you're near to us it depends on the demand i don't just come here to chat you mustn't. a nursing care facility for all timers sufferers practices evacuating fighting fires and summoning help mr obama takes out the whistles he's fashioned himself out of pipes he found on the beach his 1st customer is the director. and i can i do it. what. 7 mr obama has not allowed to help out here for insurance reasons so he plays the role of mascot instead but nursing homes aren't really his favorite place to be. the hours ahead of that night i'd rather not go in. going to iowa even if i end up in this condition myself someday i'd rather be cared for at home to be quite honest i see our god how the fire now what mr obama has already put it out in the next building. no sweat no health is another of this energy bundles max and his next stop is the sand box to warn against possible dangers. you are going to look at mr obama does the volunteer at a playground for our knowing the. the spokesman offers

president obama: right. vice president biden: well, you authorized to put in place a whole range of things that would increase what most cops, the guys i grew up with became cops, firefighters or priests. i mean, i wasn't qualified to do any one of them. the point was that they know they need more guidance. president obama: and i think this is a process that we're all going through and we're all learning. and something that i've always admired about you, joe, is your willingness to listen and learn. it is a sign of leadership when you are willing to hear other people's experiences. it has to do with communities that have systematically been under invested in. it has to do with hiring and the fact that, you know, if you get on the phone, applying for a job, send in your resume, if your name is john, you might get called back, if your name's jamal, you might not. vice president biden: it's about being able to accumulate wealth. it's about being able to be in a position. you know better than i do, but i've watc

so i'd like to learn something from mr obama. and. mr obama has unbelievable cheerful fit and also very knowledgeable about disasters and so on i think is a really great. or sent. by the 8 mr obama says japan's only about 30 percent prepared for all potential disasters many people don't even have a whistle i realize he's got an entire carton full. but he's not done yet. work isn't the same as being busy he says and you can always find something meaningful to keep yourself busy with it like it was knowing there was but is agenda is constantly being run over by groupies that's just the price of popularity. do you only do what we do well but i'm maybe i could do something like that too in small steps and if everyone pitches in we could eventually help everyone in japan and the whole new world we would all be there till we were we talked about nutrition he says you can survive on nothing but rice and plum preserves when the what interesting human being. plastic in the food chain is a curse for the heavily fish dependent japan. fish move a

speed to barack obama politicizing a funeral. remember democrats did the same thing in 2002 during the memorial service for senator paul wellstone. they turned a sovereign event into a massive, political rally. frankly, it discussed it everyone that tendon. today we saw the very same thing from a very similar with barack obama. in an effort to trash president trump and his supporters, obama said many things that are simply, factually inaccurate and not true. and by the way, i told you and i tell you every two years, every four years, democratic party the playbook remains the same. they divide america over, rich versus young, old versus young, and play the race card, racist, sexist, misogynist, xenophobic homophobic and dirty air water, and they want to throw graham out over a cliff in a wheelchair. let's break it down come obama comparing trump to george wallace, and accusing law enforcement officers of using tearful gas and batons on peaceful protesters. now is this the so-called peaceful protesters that obama is talking about?

and barack obama, i couldn't imagine barack obama doing something like that and handing a journalist a list of the things he would accomplish. as a certain level of feeling he is an outsider and he has to convince reporters and historians, give him due credit and i was struck by that. he brought in a top-secret letter of the north korean leader and showed that to me in english and korean and we can't report within the letter but look what i'm doing in north korea, no one else has been able to accomplish this so that speaks to a sense he's an outsider and reporters are not being fair to him and he saw our interview as a chance to be heard. >> arlington virginia. good morning. >> had a, and then a question, i read your other book, the president and i liked it, it was interesting. you've talked about traditions and under obama, they used the dossier which was a foreign agent from a foreign source, they supplied it to the fisa court to embed spies tried to bring down a presidency and i was wondering, what other presidents have used the fbi to try to spy on and bring down the political op

obama and dr. biden. i wonder, they seem to be so recognizable and they work so well together as political wives. but do they ever go out and socialize just the two of them together if they're allowed to go outside the white house together? >> that's an interesting question. i wrote a piece about dr. biden during the 2012 campaign. so got to talk with some of her staff and see her and read up on her. she made the point that they worked well together. they're friendly, but they both have very busy lives. so the idea that they're sort of socializing and hanging out very regularly doesn't happen. in addition to being the vice president's wife, which comes with some official duties. joe biden continues to teach at a local community teach. she's an english professor. so often when she was traveling during the campaign, she had her papers with her and grading papers, that kind of thing. i think that idea that they are just enjoying one another's company doesn't happen very often. >> plus, a lesson that the seco

number one there is no obama date. the reason the fbi was investigating the campaign members is because not the trump campaign but trump met him in helsinki. the thing i want to share, trump has been very divisive as far as far as dividing the country. you said trump defended most of the president. when history is written, we have video. the divisiveness and one more thing i want to say and then you can tell me if that is the reason. c-span had two people on their and he may not be a strategic thinker but we will have a cyber attack and he may still be in office and it will be handled terribly. two people were on c-span from the intelligence, the congress and it was a republican and a democrat and said not enough is being done for the cyber attack. >> host: thanks for the call from north carolina. let me go back to the second point. and i'm reminded when former president bush released a video praising the frontline workers during the pandemic, president trump's response was where was he during the impeachment? >> guest

now, back to obama, step aside al sharpton. because you've got a competitor and barack obama using a house of worship, using a funeral to raise a democratic campaign speech. what amazes me is he basically lied on television when he said that federal truth was used for peaceful protesters. there's not a peaceful protester that is trying to demolish a federal building. he tried to make an analogy that donald trump is george wallace. mr. obama, 1.2 million black people, including one more, leo terrell voted for donald trump in 2016. it is unbelievable that he would play the race card. but you are right. you got a great man in john lewis who died, buried today, and herman cain is being vilified. i am sick and tired of black republicans being vilified! we are smart enough to realize that we are off of the democratic plantation, and we will vote what is in the country's best interest. what's in the country's best interest right now is electing donald trump in november. >> sean: you know, larry, we have been friends a lot of years now

it's mine by right, obama. obama says, it's mine, clinton. who has the greater right to it? and notably, punk in the lower left says -- or the black voter in the lower left says, who asked me? and punk says, you'll be told later. so an amazingly harsh view about how democrats view the african-american vote, as something that we fight over and it's a monolithic thing and someone owns it. the context for this cartoon was, barack obama ran for president, obviously, first african-american to become president. but he was not necessarily seen as the african-american candidate. when he started his race, he ran as, you know, sort of this post-racial candidate. he didn't talk about race. the clintons had this amazingly good will among african-americans from bill clinton's time in office. so it really wasn't until after barack obama started winning races, in particular, the iowa caucuses, that african-american votes started to come to him. then it became sort of a really critical part of his political base. but at this point, it was really kind of a coin toss as to who would be able t

about obama being. eased out of the middle east who you know all that stuff which is not really square very well with reality so. listening to experts yeah a leader would need to listen to experts but a leader. should not be should not allow himself to be led by by by the nose by the experts mr training you still seem to have a lot of respect and empathy for president obama as i hear people do but respectfully for the office of the presidency of the united states that's for sure he's going to satisfy him as a loner somebody who could you know. realize he's great vision but if you actually look at their makings of their recent russia gate scandal it's pretty avid and that it was driven primarily by the obama people and these people went on c.n.n. saying one thing and this same day in closed hearings they would say something completely op. i mean trump is often accused of being a liar and it's true that he's very casual in his speech but don't you think that there is a different kind of deception with the

louis in a waint illusion - but barack obama did. our founding values with voting can't be denigrated and we're all working to make it more perfect. i've never told this story today. when i watched today i thought about the voting rights act back in 2009 when barack obama was elected i was assigned the monumental task of defending it at the supreme court. now i've done many but that was my fourth. i was nervous as heck. congressman lewis called me. i said, look, i'm nervous. i told him the voting rights had the blood of patriots on it, and i was thinking about him. he told me, neil, you've got this. i did. afterwards president obama called me about it to congratulate me we won and so on, and i confessed i was nervous about the argument and that representative lewis had steadied me. he said something like, neil, that's john for you. that's john for you, john for all of us. we're all nervous about the state of our democracy right now, and i can do no better than to remember his words echoed in this gift he wrote in the "new york times"

it is mined by right obama. obama says it's mine clinton, who has a greater right to it? and notably punk in the lower left says, who asked me? punk says you will be told later. an amazingly harsh about how democrats view the american -- african american vote. something we fight over and it's a monolithic thing and we fight over it. the context for this cartoon is obama ran for president, the first african american to do so, but he was not necessarily seen as the african american candidate. he sort of ran as this post racial candidate. he did not talk about race. the clintons had this amazingly goodwill meng african americans from bill clinton's time in office. so it was really not until after barack obama started winning racism, particularly the iowa caucus, that he's -- the african american vote started to come to him. then it became a very critical part of his political base. but at this point, it was really kind of a coin toss as to who would be able to win this critical voting bloc. >> the only thing i would add is this is exactly what republicans thought was going o

all those things are a lot more than what president obama ever did. liz: that's what his supporters say, people are saying the president's tweets are polarized and don't like the personal attacks in which he would stop tweeting and his approval rating. people are saying look at what he's getting done, he's getting stuff done, he's acting and doing a lot more than people realize. we found dozens and dozens of actions that the trump administration took to go after russia started in 2017, hillary clinton cited russian interference is one of the reasons for her to beat but trump did more going after what hillary said is wrong than obama did. the media and adam schiff says donald trump is a russian asset still. >> what the democrats have done into somebody particular like chairman schiff, the mainstream media went along and they were the example, they knew there was not a russian collusion story, it was a hoax from the beginning. they did not care they wanted another club to beat over the head with donald trump. what they've done to the nation for their ow

obama stepgrandmother. not even blood relatives but she's the one everybody goes to visit and thinks that's where the obama's are from. there is a whole other group of obama's i will deal with and in terms of where the story really comes from. it reminds me when i was doing the clinton book. because he said it in his convention acceptance they ran a film. so a small town in arkansas and the simplicity of rural life in the executives from hot springs a very different place much more cosmopolitan and complex with the darker side. but the obama story takes place somewhere else. that is the african section of the book was started at can do base. >> what about leo? >> you cannot make that up some kind of african in a novel. seventy-three years old and walks around with a menacing club with a deep rolling voice and laugh and melts everybody in africa. from the president of tanzania, tanzania, the dictator of uganda back in the seventies and eighties. he traveled with us and we met him yesterday and three or four

what did the obama biden administration due to that county in new york? >> westchester county was the guinea pig of sorts for the affirmatively furthering fair housing regulation. now, keep in mind that westchester county is the fourth most diverse county in new york state. around 2016 westchester county had about 40% of its population were black or hispanic. so, this is a very diverse county and yet, a civil rights suit was filed against westchester county claiming not that they had had any housing discrimination, which is what the fair housing act for bids, but claiming instead that they had falsely promised when they receive their hud grant, to affirmatively further fair housing and the lawsuit used this expansive definition of affirmatively furthering fair housing which had nothing to do with actually discriminating and it was never even alleged there was housing discrimination, but rather that the district simply hadn't done enough to create demographic diversity in every part of the district. now, as i said, westchester is highly diverse, but there

president obama didn't do anything. that is why president trump was elected because we wanted a solutionist. we wanted someone who would put america first. we wanted someone who would make america safer again. i'm so excited that president trump has taken the leadership in making sure that we are making our cities safer again, chicago, for an example. making sure that people can have a sense of peace of mind when they walk down the street and children can play outside and parent not have to fear for their child's life. elizabeth: obama gave us a speech in chicago in 2013 but it was on gun control and education. that was it. the obama administration, researched, talked about infrastructure in chicago and the like. we've seen more about the activists, people of chicago crying out to president obama, why didn't you do more on the death toll. who in the obama administration took the death toll seriously enough in chicago to intervene like president trump is doing now? >> absolutely no one. that is why our president has been

that's something i have never heard president obama say before. but also, it just shows how far he is willing to go to help give concrete marching orders compared to the aspirational marching orders that we got in that final message from congressman lewis. >> mr. capehart, thank you, as always. mr. meacham, thank you, as well. and that aforementioned essay that john lewis wrote just two days before his death and asked "the new york times" to publish on the day of his funeral, the last paragraph, when historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression, and war so i say to you, walk with the wind, brothers and sisters. and let the spirit of peace and the power of ever-lasting love be your guide. those were congressman lewis' last words to us. that's going to wrap up our special coverage of the funeral service for congressman lewis. we hand our coverage over to our colleague, chuck todd

. >> reassemble the old obama team. they are all coming back, you know it. >> laura: they are clearly trotting out obama because biden is in trouble and obama is the biggest fund-raiser the democrats have. there is no enthusiasm for biden. >> it also may have something to do with his poll numbers among black voters. according to the late a zogby poll, only 77% of black voters support biden right now. he needs obama to make of that difference and more. also the obama-biden meet up may be a smoke screen -- >> 29, that the biden and sanders cams submitted proposals to update the democratic party platform. they want to decrease spending on national defense, emphasize police brutality, and climate change, and end to forever wars -- i thought trump didi that, and a national proposal to study slave reparations.st if that was your agenda, you'd be sitting across from obama too, laura. >> laura: why didn't obama get this all done in eight years? was he inadequate, was he inauthentic? are we supposed to believe that biden is a be

it's mine by right, obama. and the obama is saying, it's mine, clinton, who has a greater right to it? and notably, punk in the lower left says, who asked me? and punk says, you'll be told later. so an amazingly harsh view about how democrats viewed the african-american vote as something that we fight over. and it's a monolithic thing and someone owns it. the context for the cartoon is barack obama ran to become president but he was not necessarily seen as the african-american candidate. when he started the race, he ran as a post racial candidate. he didn't talk about race. the clintons had this amazingly goodwill among african-americans from bill clinton's time in office. so it wasn't really until barack obama starting winning races with the iowa caucuses, that the african-american vote came to him and then it became a very political part of this political base. but at this point, it was really kind of a coin toss as to who would be able to win this critical voting bloc. and, yeah. >> the only thing i would ad

and by then m obama are united and oh, so good. we will tell you why it's necessary, raymond aurora rowe brings us "seen and unseen," but first, joe's care package. that is the focus of tonight's "ankle." tonight we are 15 weeks out from the 2020 election if you can believe it, and the last few days have revealed the candidates starkly different approaches to leadership. now each one has tried to improve the standing on the economy and/or covid. when biden emerges from his basement, he often shuffles upstairs to a camera nearest his french doors with bucolic scene framing the shot. yesterday, he tried to show us he would be more hands-on regarding the pandemic. offering never before heard solutions like appoint a commanding covid officer or, in help small businesses. oh, wait, didn't trump already do that? try again, joe. of course we know regardless of what he says, the only big thing that poor old joe would do differently or the lockdowns. in other words, he would mandate a national shelter-in-place order which, of course, would

>> president obama was invited in and did a poor job. he could've gone into chicago and solve the problem and he didn't we can solve the problem very easily equipped with the best equipment and the best. people portland was coming down him busting at the seams. elizabeth: that my is a cnn reporter asking that. cnn reported in 2017 nearly 4000 people were shot dead in chicago. ngcnn reporting quoting people inside chicago to say president obama did not do n enough basically they struggled with the feeling he could have done more and president obama ignored the people off chicago, ignored young black men getting gun down at a horrific rate and no issue to willingly address the issues i remember when they said that then and remember calling on president obama to do something. president obama didn't do anything that's why president trump was elected because we wanted a solution someone to put america first in someone to make america safer again. that's why i'm so excited president trump has taken the leadership to make sure we make our citie

all these things were stuff that obama didn't do. and then in 2018 as a deterrent, as senator kaine said, we -- he had a cyber attack on the russian unit that did meddle in the 2016 election, and he said in 2018 done you dare do it again -- don't you dare do it again or we're going come after you. and just to let the russians know we were serious, he did launch a cyber attack on them. a lot -- all of those things are tougher than anything president obama ever did. elizabeth: you know, people are saying the president's tweets are polarizing, they don't like the personal attacks, they wish they'd stop tweeting. people are saying instead look at what he's getting done. he's getting stuff done. he's acting. he's doing a lot more than people realize. kt, we found dozens and dozens and dozens of actions the trump administration took to go after russia starting in 2017. and, you know, hillary clinton repeatedly e cited russian interference as one of the reasons for her defeat, but trump did more, you know, going after what hillary says was

and that man is our guest tonight, barack obama. it is convention speak our guest spoke about his father born and raised in kenya that he spoke of his grandfather, domestic servants marine and he spoke of the journey he has taken his own life. that story which brings him here tonight, has sold more fully is memoir called, dreams from my father. now if there is talk about what i guess will be doing in the year 2008. [laughter]. and in 2012. and beyond. it would certainly give me a great deal of clip protester to say that i was introducing the next president of the united states. [cheering and applause]. and give you a lot of pleasure as well on shore. bullet millions of welcome and disappointment on november 3r november 3rd, 5 feet looking to get what i guess will be doing in the immediate future. they said the journey in the stands he is taken many americans should rejoice over the voice they will have in their government. a voice that speaks for expanding opportunity and civil liberties. a voice that speaks to the promise that we w

but it's maybe about obama. he can make one sentence that would normally take, i don't know, 12 seconds, and he can stretch that one sentence out for at least a minute. there are pauses -- >> i think it can backfire. it reminds people. it was this duo and their policies that created donald trump. and it was benghazi, the economy, the meltdown of manufacturing in the u.s. that is what america sees when they watch these two guys interact very awkwardly in this constipated fashion. it is hard to watch. >> laura: tell us really quick with the new hillary miniseries on hulu? >> the streaming service called rodham based on the novel by the same name. it is being billed as alternate reality series where hillary doesn't marry bill but does win the presidency. you might call it though woman and a low house of pantsuits come i'm not sure. >> laura: wait a second. they can do an alternative reality follow-up called "the man in the bunker." correct? >> and dr. fauci through that social fallout at the game. maybe he can be t

including barack obama's 2008 election. the university of virginia miller center posted this hour and 15 minute discussion. >> we are going to get started here with round two of presidents on whom oliphant was able to bestow his gift. on a country who is able to impart his gift visually with presidents. i am mike nelson. i am the guy you put up with during the first panel. we have a new cast of people to add their voices to the wonderful voices you heard from the scholars who are on the first panel. once again, we have the miller center pit people here. the miller center, one of the main emphasis is the focus on studying the president sees in-depth, historical depth with objectivity. in other words, we are all in the business of doing stuff that in editorial cartoonist is not in the business of doing, which is reacting to events on a day-to-day basis. which path oliphant did more than 10,000 times in his 60 plus years as a newspaper cartoonist. whereas, we all strived to be as objective as we can, the job of the editorial c

obama paid for his holidays. mr. trump, however, has five ,ids and when they travel that's a lot of money for the taxpayer to have to cover all of them. secret service to protect all this children. again, that's a lot of money. but now that it comes to helping jobs who are out of their because of covid, the republicans can't find money to help out the regular folks in the country. we can pay for mr. trump and his family to fly all around the country. what happened to the wall that mexico was supposed to pay for that the taxpayers are now paying for? guest: first, president trump has not spent 90% of his time on a golf course, that's just simply not accurate. i am focused on what he has produced as president, so that is where i'm focused. before the pandemic we had the best economy that i've ever seen in my adult life. we had the lowest unemployment that i have ever seen. it was a historic low unemployment across all demographics. it was good for america. i want us to be able to get back to that went. it's good for al

and to hear also president obama going there in his speech, this is not new for president obama. it took me back to his eulogy for the reverend after the charleston shooting in which he went there on some of these tough issues. he often uses these eulogies to do that very thing, which is to say, you cannot separate the life of the person from the moment that we are in, that that is what obama was doing in that moment and i think that it was not a mistake that he used some of his toughest language even against the filibuster, john, as you heard him say. he called it a jim crow era rule he wants to see gone. >> we see less of the former president, all ofof the former presidents. particularly president obama, when he does speak he chooses his words deliberately. thank you all for being with us on this special day. honor to be with you the last few hours. a quick break and then brianna keilar picks up our coverage. have a good afternoon. (vo) jack was one of six million pets in animal shelters in need of a home. he found it in a boy with special needs, who also needed him. as part of

and when obama went after the i think it was 8 or 9 whistleblowers kiriakou and others he did use the espionage act which i believe up until the obama administration had only been used 3 times since 1917 against whistleblowers including daniel ellsberg whose case eventual collapse is that correct that is correct yes. so yeah and you know what had i had. so talk about how they have used the espionage how they've kind of crammed the espionage act which is you say you know in essence about spying how they're kind of legally deforming it to go after julian. well they're saying that these revelations put certain into it confidential informants in jeopardy it turns out that's not really the case. and and therefore help the enemy and also course it puts the united states in a bad light because it's evidence of war crimes the united states you know does not like to be seen as as war criminals even though we've seen the commission of war crimes from the bush administration through the obama administration and now in the in the trump administration this is a bipartisan effort in part because wi

he was there for eight years with president obama, why didn't they fix them? tens of thousands of bridges. this is what he wrote. we wanted broadband, high-speed -- why didn't he get it? three years ago, not a long time. he didn't do any of the things, but now he says he is going to be president and as president, he is going to do all of the things that he never do -- he never did anything except make bad decisions, especially on foreign policy. host: president trump yesterday, you have watched joe biden's economic pitches to voters, how does he counter that question of why didn't you fix jobs in factories, why didn't you fix the infrastructure? you had the time in office. there are two issues embedded in the critique there. the first is about manufacturing and it is true, the obama administration inherited an economy that was shutting factory jobs and they did not rebuild what was lost. it is also true that present time, even though he had seen manufacturing job growth, saw it in the first two years of his presidency, has not come close to getting back those

far better than obama did. go ahead. >> [inaudible]? >> go ahead, please. >> [inaudible]. >> well, we don't want that to happen. yeah. we don't want that to happen. people have to come into our country legally. right now we have 267 miles of wall. we are doing well at keeping the drugs out and keeping people out that are not supposed to be here. people have to come into our country legally. >> [shouting]. >> go ahead. >> [inaudible]. >> we are looking at it strokely. we are working with representatives of daca and on a big immigration bill which is merit based and something that people will be happy with. we are doing it very big. immigration bill and a very big healthcare bill. the other thing we are working on strongly and it's very important is prescription drug prices. the drug companies are not happy. i assume they will be taking ads. but we are doing a drug prescription bill if a sense. we already signed it, what goes into effect very soon, that will get us to be tied with or lower than the lowest drug prices anywhere in the world

americans like barack obama. they might not like him so much, though, if the barack obama we saw an showing pulpit thumping at the lewis funeral were to go beyond that space. remember, we like former politicians when the accent is on the former. when they get in the space and they are seen as mixing it up politically, they lose that sort of goodwill thing. obama has to step back and he has to have her out there as a well-liked noncontroversial figure, or substantially, if you want to do the most to get his former in the white house. >> julie: if you put the two together, you can see the vice president and the president but you don't necessarily see it. you know what i'm saying. you will be reminded he's the vice president because obama is the master at giving speeches. i want to move on to joe biden. he held virtual fund-raiser with rumored vp candidate congresswoman karen bass last night. this is as speculation is growing over who he will choose as his running mate. what will be here? he said he will pick a vp t

one of them is that president obama and the obama administration spied on his 2016 campaign. in an energy a with the christian broadcasting network in june he said, it is treason. when i came out a long time ago, i said they have been spying on my campaign. they have been taping. that is a modern day version of taping. they have been spying on my campaign. did that happen? susan: you know and i know and most of the sentient american itple know, absolutely no, did not happen, that is false, another lie designed to deflect from the president's own bizarre relationship with russia, to distract from much validated reality that russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit donald trump, and president trump is in some dream -- fever dream about the obama administration, when all we tried to do was execute despite the trump administration, incoming administration's reluctance, the most responsible transition we possibly could. i presided over a process at the national security council will be prepared over 100 individual briefing papers for the incoming national security advisor

one is that president obama and the obama administration spied on his 2016 campaign and an interview in june he said it is treason. look, when i came out a long time ago i said they have been spying on my campaign. that was" meeting a modern day version of taping it's all the same thing but a modern-day version. they have been spying on my campaign. did that happen? >> you know and i know and most of the american people know, no, it did not happen. that is false. that is another lie designed to deflect from the president's own very bizarre relationship with russia to distract from much validated reality that russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit donald trump. and president trump is in some dream about the obama administration when all we tried to do was execute the incoming administration's reluctance, the most responsible transition we possibly could. i presided over a process at the national security council we prepared over 100 individual briefing papers for the incoming national security adviser. i spent 12 hours in four separate sessions briefing my successor on all
