let's thank my old boss, president obama. the president often cherry picks a strong month of job growth and implies that it is representative. but let's look at things in the long term which is how economists actually measure these things. in the first 35 months of the trump administration, his economy added 191,000 jobs per month. in the last 35 months of barack obama, his economy added 227,000 jobs per month. that's a 36,000 job per month difference over a comparable 35 months each. donald trump wants you to forget that, but let's not let him get away with it. the job market's strong up employment, 3.5%. but again, he didn't create low unemployment. he inherited it. you can see that in the long term trends. it was a 4.7%, now it's down to 3.5%. but his signature policy impact, the 1.9 trillion in tax cuts, didn't go into effect until 2018. so the unemployment had already dropped to 4.1%. so the last -- that's the obama effect. the 4.1%. so the last .6% cost us $1.9 trillion and it might be much higher than that. was the cou

president obama is not the president anymore. why are you harkening back to barack obama? >> it works and distracts from the present. when you have a president who is telling us to take on faith and institution that he bashed every way he could find and saying something had to be done but won't explain to you why. that's a lousy situation that's a matter of life and death. i'd talk about somebody else, too. >> because it works? why does it work? who does it work on? >> it works on people who want to believe it. >> want to believe what, though? what are they trying to believe? >> it doesn't have to just be race. if they want reasons to not like president obama. to not like democrats. to not like diversity. to not like progress. there's a lot of different shades of animus. >> you're making a case against. >> no. well, you know. part of the job is lay out both sides. believe it or not. >> it's a simple as that. a dumb comment. >> you don't have to be a bigot to dislike barack obama, but they are feeding animus. >> they are feeding animus and bigotry. so he doesn't have to be

we, in the obama administration, and president obama himself, viewed having diverse talent around the national security decision making tables, to be itself a national security imperative. and the reason is, whether you're in government or in the corporate boardroom or in the nonprofit sector, all the studies show that better decisions derive from more diverse decision makers. and the evidence is irrefutable. and when it comes to national security, when you're interacting with peoples and countries and issues that are so complex and involve the entire world and we have literally the most diverse country on earth. we have people here from every corner of the earth with every perspective and every language and if we're not harnessing that talent, we're dealing with the world's challenges with one hand tied behind our back. and so, we pushed hard to change that, to have real data collected, real metrics about hiring and retention, and to enlist the leadership of the agencies who are extremely willing to participate in this enthusiastic, to join in that effort. and it was a substantial an

they voted for obama because he promised hope and change and who did he meet with straight away he met with the heads of these banks he did not meet with occupy wall street he did not meet with public banking activists he did not meet with the sort of people so what sort of outcome do you think that had on these tarp bills on the federal reserve then intervening as well right i mean no executives went to jail the banks are bigger. today than they were back then and so it's clear all of these corporations understand that a cost of doing business is borrowing and building support in washington d.c. and that includes stuffing up with former members of congress put them on your payroll you want to hire a chief of staff from a powerful senator or a committee. member get their chief of staff put them on your payroll as a lobbyist this is what washington does. by partisan basis in fact i think it's the only point of true bipartisanship in d.c. is corporate influence over government let me ask you this question and it seems to me as an observer that the cost of lobbying which is legalized corr

obama spent time playing golf.ut and plays golf all the time. >> he's been obsessed since -- do you think -- i don't know what it is. does he have a crush or something? he is obsessed. obama is living his best life. a hot boy summer. his best life for like years now. this man is obsessed with him. he lives rent free in his head. >> he does. and hillary clinton. he spent a lot of time attacking her. for some of the things he does. private e-mails. people in his family in the white house using private e-mail. and lock her up. guess what, we find out they have no evidence to lock her up. >> his justice department. the government spent $96 million on travel for obama. president trump travel costs for one month in early 2017 was estimated at 13.6 million. one month. if spending continued at this pace he would have exceed exceeded the total expense in one year. >> mnuchin doesn't want to release the information. he doesn't want people to know how much he's spent. taxpayers dollars. the billionaire. allegedly. he can affo

what i find is really interesting among the obama obama trump voting is that they liked president obama personally. they liked the way come his aspirational speeches, and his family and how he conducted himself. but he didn't like his policies. all you have to do is look at all those counties and what happened in 2010 and 2014 midterms. it's the flip with donald trump are they don't really like and that much, like you said something would invite to dinner because they believe his personality on twitter is his personality in real life, but they do like his policies and they do like how it impacts their communities. a lot of people thought this election was about anger and individualism. it wasn't. it was about localism and communities and place and rootedness. i think the democrats would be wise to understand t that nuance because that kind of nuance would help them do better and may be when some those voters back. >> host: roger, you get the last word from virginia. we have about a minute left. quick question or comment. >> caller: yes. what does a systemic fashion me to you? when russi
