8:35 am
i was sitting with him in his presidential limousine and he read a column that said democrats maybe pushed too far and maybe got away from the sense of identity that's important to people, part of which was what president trump had stoked. but i think, frankly, the reality of any number of causal factors led to president trump and that led to the question, i don't think we were wrong. >> actually what you say in the book is you should have seen it because you said when you distilled it, strippedmisogyny,h hillary years ago. she's part of a corrupt establishment that can't change. >> u woke up after election night kind of shellshocked, and that's when it hit me. >> is that what he won on? a change message?
8:36 am
>> that's part of the message. i remember election night sitting there in my friend's apartment and president obama called us to talk about what he was going to say the next day and we're all just absorbing this news and new real. i do realize in that moment i don't think we had inhabited the likelihood of trump winning. you had that shellshock and the next morning you start to analyze it. >> this line has been focused on by critics of the president because they say it repeats a flaw that they've seen in him throughout public life, which is he meant what if we were wrong is not about his own multiple sclerosis -- misperception. >> what he said his entire political year is his bet was always on the american people.
8:37 am
he couldn't become the first african-american president, two-term president would the american people. i think what he's getting at is a bigger phenomena in the world. we were on a trip that led up to that comment he made. we saw angela merkel with a tear in her eye. we've seen the president of china who made an ominous comment. he was not talking about president obama. what he's talking about is the sense of globalization, trade. we're part of an enthor prize basically, an international order that has pushed very far at changing the nature of our world the last several decades and the question is did that get too far ahead of voters in places like the united states and united kingdom who were feeling a sense of uncertainty because of that change.
8:38 am
>> this book was so personal to me. it seemed to me about you, ben. you really talked about your place in the administration, questioning what you were doing there, when do you fit in, and being a speech writer for some of the most iconic speeches, how do you write for someone you didn't know very well and how you navigated those waters? >> what i wanted to convey to the readers, i was 29 years old when i worked for barack obama. i didn't have a plan to be a deputy national security adviser. i wanted to help elect him to be president. i had an opportunity to write for a guy who was a great orator. i spent weeks listening to him. he wrote a book "dreams of my father" i must have read a dozen times. ult ultimately you have to forge a connection with a guy you're working for. >> you said we didn't always get
8:39 am
things right but the larger project of believing america is a better place, when you look at the trump administrationing, members are trying to do everything obama did. does he feel that or do you feel that everything they did, they're trying to take it all apart? >> there are certain policies, paris climate agreement, cuba, that's not an ideological reason to take down all the policies other than the fact that barack obama did them. i say in the book we didn't get everything right. i say there are things i'm not certain about and i'll be saying it for the rest of my life. the fact that america is a progressive inclusive country that has something more diverse,
8:40 am
i think the obama legacy, that's the direction america is headed and that's not the direction donald trump is headed. i think when history has its accounting, america is going to end up looking more like the obama presidency than trump presidency. >> thank you. his book goes on sale tomorrow. what do the following have in common? they've all been directed by tony award-winning member kenny internet. but not just any internet.
