not barack obama. so it doesn't matter what barack obama gets up there and says. it's not going to resonate with the democratic voters. >> i have to -- i have to wrap up to get to joy reid. i will say, rick gates, i believe it's called damning with faint praise when a trump aide, you know, praises barack obama but to get in on biden. i really appreciate you guys talking to each other, back and forth, civilly. which we need right now. thanks to both of you. >> thanks, ari. thanks, cornell. >> appreciate you guys. that does it for this episode of "the beat" with ari melber. i'll be back at 6:00 p.m., but right now it's "the reidout" with joy reid. ♪ >>> tonight, former president barack obama made his first in-person campaign appearance for joe biden. delivering from pennsylvania powerful -- a powerful fundamental rebuke to the corruption and failure of the trump administration. the failure to protect the american people from a pandemic that has now taken more than 200,000 lives in america. >> this is not a reality show, this is reality.

pennsylvania and interesting that barack obama said did not ta ke that barack obamake that for granted, we saw what happened last time, get out and vote. he started his rally by telling people that if they were voting by mail, to make sure that they followed the instructions clearly. and to acknowledge that, look, he understands that some people may think what is the point of me voting. the government lets me voting. the government lets me down and he said actually, it is not by not participating that you get what you want. it's by participating more. food, vote, vote and do not ta ke food, vote, vote and do not take it for granted that we've got it in the bag. we will be back with more information and analysis of the election a little later in the programme. next, there's been widespread international condemnation of shooting in nigeria on tuesday in which the international and witnesses say that security forces killed at least 12 protesters in the city of legos. the secretary general called for and into the brutality of the nigerian army has denied involvement. spo

there he is, barack obama. first stump speech for the biden campaign since the democratic convention. got a nice crowd over there in philadelphia. but they've driven their cars there. you'll see a wide shot fairly soon. the former president, let's listen in. >> hello, philadelphia! [ cheers and honking ] man, it is good to be back in pennsylvania. what beautiful weather we've got here, a little indian summer. you know, i know the president spent some time in erie last night. and apparently he complained about having to travel here. then he cut the event short. poor guy. i don't feel that way. i love coming to pennsylvania. you guys delivered for me twice, and i am back here tonight to ask you to deliver the white house for joe biden and kamala harr harris. i want to thank mr. philadelphia, charlie mack. his daughter, india marie. what an outstanding young lady she was. those of you who are fathers and have daughters, you know how that feels when you see your daughters just shining. i know a little bit about tha

bill, it was interesting to me in hearing president barack obama address the economy. resident inheriting the biden/obama economy and he talked about the 1.5 million jobs that were created the last three years of the obama presidency that surpassed the first three years of the jobs created in the trump presidency. do you think that's going to resonate in a state? so many voters i spoke to in that state, a message on the economy is something that really moves the mark for them. >> yeah. i think we've done some voting obviously in pennsylvania, florida, the other key states. and the economy is one place where the economy's had a bit of an edge. they have pretty good first few years and they have a sense he puts the economy first. i think the bind campaign has tried very hard with some success to tie together health and the economy. we're not going to have the economy really opening up until we have the virus under control. he's got to make the health and economy two sides of one issue in a sense instead of a -- a health issue by itself is big enough, i agree, but he's got

think about where they are sending barack obama.was up big, they would be sending him to texas, arizona and georgia. no. they are sending him to philadelphia. the models show blacks in pennsylvania only 10% requested ballots and remember the dnc speech barack obama pleading with democrats request your ballots and vote. they didn't listen. they didn't request and they are not turning them back. that's not good. every time barack obama is not on the ticket democrats get shellacked. he will juice the base in philadelphia. i don't think it will do anything. they don't have a great ground game to turn these people out on election day. biden has never delivered there. it's a covid-19 situation. i don't see it happening and another 4 years of donald trump takes a wrecking ball to the legacy of barack obama. it's already 80% gone and juan, and a second year you would get to the bottom of the obama-gate. >> oh, i want to scream. >> greg gutfeld, your thoughts? >> i felt like he was trying to out-toobin, toobin. if it hurts like that go to a

president barack obama's on the campaign trail standing in for joe biden as he prepares for the final presidential debate. the makers of a powerful painkiller will plead guilty to aiding the start of the u.s. opioid epidemic is part of an $8000000000.00 set. and in some of the clearest language to date the head of the roman catholic church says same sex relationships should be protected by law. nigerian protesters have defied a curfew during a face off with security forces as demonstrations against police brutality threaten to paralyze the nation the rights group amnesty international says at least 12 people were killed on tuesday night leaving the violence of the military up and it drew support in the capital abuja. and early morning fire set by arsonists burns park to be coarse at a government bus station in lagos officials say 30 buses were destroyed. in lekki while security forces opened fire on protesters the previous night the standoff continues. the latest state governor who visited victims of tuesday's attack in hospital said more than 2 dozen have been hospitalized so you kno

barack obama here today. it will be a very socially distanced drive-in rally at a stadium parking lot tonight. he's trying to energize black male voters to did not turn up in strong enough numbers for hillary clinton. they did for barack obama, but not clinton. that could not offset donald trump's big advantages in white rural areas and with suburban women. there's a gender gap with the suburban women, but they have to -- that's what barack obama is coming here to do. he is also reaching out to young voters, and he did that overnight in a video. let's watch. >> times as polarized as these, your vote doesn't just matter. it matters more than ever before. and to change the game on any of the issues we care about, joe biden needs your vote. he's on the right side of the issues to get the job done. and joe and kamala will want you to keep pushing them to get the job done. >> and just to give you an idea, you know this so well. barack obama's popularity, especially with democrats and this used to be a democratic s

he's obsessed with barack obama.ack obama as a lawyer is making the case for so many last-minute voters as to why they should be galvanized to go to the polls on tuesday, i think that the president -- president trump has so much more that he should be thinking about and sadly he doesn't. either it's about himself or his money, but it's very rarely if ever about the american people. >> now, reverend watkins, texas republicans are in court right now fighting to have over 100,000 ballots thrown out. what are americans supposed to do in the face of this kind of after the fact voter suppression? >> i think, i said repeatedly that i'm a republican, a republican who's pro-civil rights, a republican for voting rights. when i worked in the u.s. senate for dan quail, that's one of the first things i suggested, to support voting rights was so important and i still believe it is. and i'm definitely against voter suppression, even that even looks like or smells like voter suppression. this is an unfortunate thing. this is somethi

i mean, there is no person on the face of the earth who gets under donald trump's skin like barack obamaand that's why you've seen president trump over the last four years try to undo just about anything that had president obama's name on it, namely obamacare, which barack obama talked about in that speech, saying that donald trump has had four years, he hasn't come up with a replacement for obamacare. but wolf, i think just to echo what van jones was saying, there was also i think a base strategy in some of what barack obama was talking about there, when he was saying don't believe these polls, these polls weren't right the last time around, we saw the polls, it looked like things were going to work out for hillary clinton and then donald trump was elected president of the united states. and by the way, that echoes what the biden campaign has been saying. they have been saying don't believe the polls. obviously, we believe the polls in our industry. but obviously both campaigns don't want to take anything for granted. and i think one other thing we should point out, wolf, i've talked to

barack obama our main headline on bbc news. ba rack obama has our main headline on bbc news.criticised his successor donald trump in the former presidents for his campaign speech supporting joe biden. more u nrest supporting joe biden. more unrest in nigeria over the shooting date of release 12 protesters in the un is calling foran protesters in the un is calling for an end to the brutality. pope francis is made a strong statement in favour of civil partnerships for same—sex couples. the pope was speaking ina new couples. the pope was speaking in a new documentary entitled francesco. and the film, which is just been released francesco. and the film, which isjust been released in rome, he says that same—sex couples have the right of legal protections when forming civil partnerships and also said that they have a right to a family. the film director since the pump to be a very humble man thatis pump to be a very humble man that is capable of admitting his mistakes. it is beautiful to see a leader in his position, and just a humble human being who was able to say, iam human bein

barack obama ba rack obama has barack obama has sharply criticised his successor donald trump in his upport of the democratic party's presidential candidate and his former vice presidentjoe biden. mr obama said that mrtrump presidentjoe biden. mr obama said that mr trump is not showing an interest in anyone but himself and he also criticised the president's handling of the economy and the pandemic. the rest of us have had to live with the consequences of him proving himself incapable of taking the job seriously. at least 220,000 americans have died. millions ofjobs are gone. our proud reputation around the world it is in tatters. we know that he continues to do business with china because he has got a secret chinese bank account. that possible? the presidency does not change who you are, it reveals who you are. and joe has shown himself to be a friend of working people. for eight years joe was friend of working people. for eight yearsjoe was the last one in the room when i faced a big decision. he made me a better president. i get that this president wants full credit for the economy

again that was barack obama in bloomfield hills, michigan, alongside barack obama. i think i just said that. barack obama and joe biden making an unscheduled stop there on their blitz of a day on the campaign trail. and he makes this point, right, where the stakes are so high, hans. and we're seeing that overall with voter turnout. when "the new york times" is saying, essentially, we are set to surpass the 150 million votes that were cast back in 2016. >> maybe even 160 million. you talk to the real data experts. you could see massive turnout. the question that we don't know is will that turnout be in states like california or new york or new jersey, states where the margin will be really run up for joe biden, or whether or not that turnout's going to be high in the upper midwest, especially in states that are hit hard by the coronavirus? and that's just, it's an unknown. but to the earlier point about polls and trends, you know, this race has been very stable, right? in march, we thought that the election would be decided by the coronavirus. we haven't seen huge di

. >> that was president barack obama in philadelphia today campaigning for joe biden and kamala harris. president obama spoke in ways we've heard before about his respect and deep friendship with joe biden, saying that his vice president joe biden made him a better president. but president trump spoke very pointedly about the current president in a way that we have not heard before. >> this was just reported in the last 48 hours. we know that he continues to do business with china because he has a secret chinese bank account. how is that possible? how is that possible? a secret chinese bank account. listen. can you imagine if i had had a secret chinese bank account when i was running for re-election? you think fox news might have been a little concerned about that? they would have called me beijing berry. it is not a great idea to have a president who owes a bunch of money to people overseas. that's not a good idea. his first year in the white house, he only paid $750 in federal income taxes. listen, my first job was at a baskin robins. when i was 15 years old. i think i might have pai

so, getting back to barack obama. barack obama had a key policy issue he focused on during his years as president and that was trying to increase the enrollment of people getting health-care in america. this was the affordable care act, obama cars and also a question of getting people to enroll and one of the things that he did was to go on other show called between two ferns starring satch galifianakis. and the trade jobs with zach. and president obama talks about how satch galifianakis was lucky he had bigger stars to save the movies, the hangover movies he was involved in. and so on. but in the end president obama had an opportunity to pitch the face the affordable care act and young people getting enrolled and the number of enrollment went up afterwards. what you saw with barack obama was he could take a joke and give as well as he got with respect to humor, and also in one of the most famous clips involving barack obama and donald trump, barack obama savaged donald trump at the out who correspondents dinner durin

that's where joe biden is stopping with former president barack obama. rs ago. the team of obama and biden carried it twice, the two elections before that. so what is the former vice president's pitch to voters right now as he tries to get michigan, such an important battleground state back? >> reporter: well, wolf, you are seeing joe biden and former president barack obama out on the campaign trail today reprising their campaign road show as they are making that pitch to michiganders in the final days before this election. the two of them held a drive-in event in flint, michigan earlier today. they also stopped at a canvass kickoff. in just a short while, they are taking the stage here at another drive-in socially-distanced events. you heard the former president talking about hits former vp in very personal terms. personally attesting to seeing him operate in-office during those two terms. they served together in the white house. the former president also didn't hold anything back within it came back to him criticizing president trump. he was very forcef

so certainly among voters, barack obama certainly has immense weight. this is important, particularly among african-american voters. pennsylvania has a very large propose sure in -- proportion of african-american voters and this bloc is critical for joe biden to get as much support as possible if he is going to go to the white house. so unleashing barack obama at this particular time is absolutely essential to the biden campaign to get the momentum leading into the election. millions of americans have voted already. many have already made up their minds, even if they have not voted. there will be another debate within the next 24 hours which could have a bearing, to a degree,, on the outcome of the election. but the most important factor at this particular point is barack obama's presence back on the campaign trail. he was disliked by some during his two terms as president, but for many, he does represent something that they would hope joe biden does, and that is a return to a presidency that is rooted in moderately, and that is rooted in the ability or

the former us president barack obama has launched a blistering attack on president trump, in his first obama said donald trump has treated the presidency like a reality show, donald trump said barack obama had campaigned hard for hillary clinton at the last election, aleem maqbool reports. it was a strange way to attend a political event. but they came in their cars to see their former president's first drive—in rally forjoe biden. i think what barack obama brings is the sense when america was great. when we were happy to go out, when we could go out and have a good time, when we were respecting and loving each other. when barack obama got on stage in philadelphia he didn't hold back in his criticism of the man who replaced him in the white house, saying donald trump's behaviour had been unacceptable and a poor example to american children. why are folks making excuses for that? oh, well, that's just...that'sjust him. no, it's...no! there are consequences to these actions. they embolden other people to be cruel and divisive and racist. and it frays the fabric of our society. in the str

distanced drive-in event at philly, kind of like a drive-in movie, instead of a screen you've got barack obamaama gave his most forceful rebuke of the trump administration. he encouraged voters who didn't come out for hillary clinton in 2016 to get up and make their way to the polls. he offered his trademark, hope, a hopeful and inclusive vision of america with biden and kamala harris at the helm. >> they actually care about every american including the ones that don't agree with them, and they're going to fight for you every day. they care about you, and they care about this democracy. they believe in a democracy, the right to vote is sacred, and that we shouldn't be making people wait in line for ten hours to cast their ballot. we should be making it easier for everybody to vote. >> obama notes the increasing difficulty american voters face when simply trying to cast a ballot. we are the only modern democracy that makes it harder, not eas r easier, for our citizens to vote, and right now the gop is continuing its assault trying to restrict voting through legal battles in states across the na

barack hussein obama. remember rush limbaugh would always do that. congressman? >> do you really want me to respond? >> i actually do. go on. >> i don't think there's enough sensors on tv to adequately describe the foolishness that came out of his mouth. he was making fun of president obama by drawing out his middle name, the same way with kamala harris, and vice president biden, according to barack obama said that the best decision of his presidency was picking joe biden to be his vice president and then gave him the presidential medal of freedom. so that relationship is thick as blood and vice president biden holds former president barack obama in the highest regard but president trump, his whole purpose on life in his little mind is to discredit and dismantle anything that president obama did. that's why he's in court right now trying to repeal the affordable care act, take health insurance from 20 million people in the middle of a pandemic and then the 7 or 8 million people that have been affected, god bless them enough so that they would survive

we are in the moment, former president barack obama emphasized strategically we're seeing an increase at this moment, the worst week ever as this white house is saying that it's not going to, this is not happening anymore. this is over. so president obama made the case poignantly, strongly, and he also, if you remember, four years ago, he said don't, and try to take the anxiety people and turn it into action. >> david, as you're watching michigan, a state obviously that donald trump won pretty narrowly, but as jeff reported, there are a lot of union workers in michigan who say they don't plan on coming back. they're standing by president trump. the question is, how widespread is that and can biden turn out other voters who could counter some of those folks that may be lost to the democratic party? >> right, like those union workers we saw, home of the reagan democrat. that's where they were in michigan. the term the reagan democrat came out of michigan but you asked the right question, brianna, what is biden going to make up with that lost vote with women in the suburbs, with independ

if it's not for barack obama, it's certainly michelle obama. trust. >> and do you think that the poll for biden, with those who love obama, is stronger than it was for clinton? >> oh, yeah. the poll for -- this is not 2016, anymore. i mean, just look at the likability. remember, we were doing -- remember, back during the '16 election, we were saying these are the two most unliked candidates in history, you know, modern history. and it was true. their unfavorability rating was very high. their favorability ratings were very low. so, yeah, i -- i don't think -- joe biden is not hillary clinton. joe biden is, pretty much, universally liked. joe biden is like a warm sweater. and i know that, you know, republicans or the trump supporters will say it's mr. rogers and they make fun of him on "snl." but that's what many americans want, at this point, given all the histrionics and the chaos. >> since when was mr. rogers a bad thing. >> mr. rogers is a great dude. >> so buck nasty. you know, who would have ever thought that, on a night where the big, bre

barack obama opinion ahead of the election. ba rack obama has opinion ahead of the election.is first campaign speech supporting joe biden. speaking in philadelphia, mr obama said mrtrump in philadelphia, mr obama said mr trump heather shown interest in anyone else but himself and criticised his handling of the economy in the pandemic. more u nrest economy in the pandemic. more unrest in nigeria over the shooting debt of at least 12 protesters across the city of legos. buildings have been torched and they have been sporadic outbreaks. —— shooting deaths. the un is calling for an end to the brutality. now on bbc news, it is wednesday in

the incumbents were barack obama and joe biden. and now mitt romney, who had been previously governor of massachusetts, and paul ryan, who was from wisconsin. he was a congressman. he would later become the speaker of the house. um, this is, i think for, this is a lesson to us us in the fact that one comment can so very easily sink your ship and one thing that really went far to sinking the ship of mitt romney in 2012 was a comment that he made when he was asked in one of the debates about women in his administration, and he made the unfortunate comment that they had a binder full of female names. now, that does not sound -- it sounds pretty innocuous but it got blown up. he was ridiculed for it. but there was also something very unlucky for romney and ryan in that election. and folks new jerseyi may remember this. october 2012, do you remember an event that took place? if i told you it was a weather event told you it was a weather event. >> hurricane sandy. prof. gutin: no one remembers. >> superstorm sandy. gutin: superstorm sand

former president barack obama. coming up, we'll speak with his former campaign press secretary about how mr. obama could reshape the race in its final days. >>> we begin in nashville, with a preview of tonight's debate with nbc white house correspondent peter alexander and nbc's mike memoli who follows the campaign. peter, let me start with you. what is the trump strategy tonight particularly considering what the polls look like right now? >> reporter: yeah, no, joshua, you make a great point. obviously the president is trailing in the key races. and those races have been tightening up. at the end of the day, it's up to president trump. i'm telling you what his aides are telling me. they would like to see him less combative. and joe biden interrupting far fewer times in the course of that event. they want him to be less combative and more calm and carharismatic is the term i'm hearing. they believe there are still undecided voters out there. late breaking voters who they believe among senior citizens will be paying

it's deeply significant to barack obama is probably joe biden's most potent weapon in terms of the scanned pain and now he's being unleashed starting in pennsylvania an absolutely key state for joe biden to win if he is going to go to the white house but once again obama bringing with him almost a sense of the starwood jerk a look back at a time when a president it was dignified when the president tried to seek a compromise and bipartisan agreement rather than the trench just characterizing the last 4 years so certainly among voters barack obama still has immense way and particularly and this is important among african american voters pennsylvania has a very large proportion of african american voters and this bloc is once again absolutely critical for joe biden to get as much support as possible if he is going to go to the white house so unleashing barack obama at this particular time is absolutely essential to the biden campaign to get that momentum leading into the election as you mentioned millions of americans have voted already many have already made up their minds even if they have

thanks barack obama. as foertrump and mr show. thanks barack obama. as for mr trump and mr biden, they will be meeting in nashville on what is thursday evening for the final debate for the november three election. despite a tumultuous campaign full of surprises, mr biden has maintained a steady lead in the polls in the past few weeks, especially rob —— and the past few weeks have been rocky for mrtrump. the few weeks have been rocky for mr trump. the debate may be his last chance. america's music city is preparing to stage a different kind of show, the second and last political face—off of this strange and turbulent election season. on broadway, the show goes on but the pandemic is hit nashville's entertainment industry hard, forcing venues to keep numbers down, way down. with five bars on the street, steve smith calls himself the honky—tonk godfather. his business has dropped 80%. once president trump to focus on the economy at the debate. he needs to talk to the american public, they need to believe tha

today joe biden said president barack obama is going to be doing campaign events. joe biden said he'll be out on the trail. another day means another national poll showing joe biden clearly in the lead. today's "morning consult" poll of likely voters shows joe biden with an eight-point lead nationally at 51-43. and the important swing state of florida, a florida atlantic university poll of likely voters shows joe biden four points ahead of donald trump at 51-47. and today campaigning in florida, joe biden made an emotional appeal to senior citizens. >> this president cares more about the stock market than he does about, you know, well-being of seniors. one day before we cross the threshold of 200,000 deaths, you may recall this, the president was at a campaign rally. and he insisted that the virus was, and i quote, affects virtually nobody. quote, just elderly people. with heart and other problems. nobody. think about that. who was he talking about when he said it affects virtually nobody? he was talking about america's seniors. he was talking about you. he was tal

so i would further point out that joe biden is not barack obama.cited about joe biden and to the extent that anyone is still excited about barack obama, that certainly doesn't transfer to joe biden. elizabeth: all right. let's show the viewer what is being shown at the trump rallies. it get as real response from the crowd. the secret ingredient is the trump campaign is using joe biden's own words against him. watch this. >> i'm supporting nafta because i think it is a positive thing to do and i do not pretend to be an expert on international trade matters. >> when you ran for president and when barack obama ran for president you both said you would renegotiate nafta. you didn't. >> trade agreements like nafta permanent trade relations in china which forced american workers to compete against people making pennies an hour has resulted in the loss of 160,000 jobs. >> the president is absolutely right when he says that china has been cheating for 25 years and that bill clinton didn't do enough about it, george w. bush didn't do enough about it. barack

so the idea that he wouldn't go after barack obama after barack obama so harshly criticized him tonight, would be a surprise. now, the president just started his speech. it's just under way here in north carolina. you mentioned this is a crucial swing state for the president. so far he's largely stayed on script. but as we know, erin, these speeches go in directions that no one, including campaign aides, can predict. so the president is here with a captive audience that loves him. an audience that is not a very big fan of president obama. it is very likely that president obama's name will come up at some point tonight. erin? >> thank you very much, ryan. and let's go now to bakari sellers, a democratic member of the south carolina house of representatives and joining me as well scott jennings, special assistant to president george bush. so scott, if you're advising president trump tonight, is going after president obama a smart thing to do to shore up support in a -- for him -- a must-win state? >> well, i think to the extent that he was attacked on certain issues that they feel are ger

i saw barack obama win michigan twice.2012 election for the superpac that supported him. the outcome with them is genuine and real and i think it's going to help a lot. >> president trump focusing all his energy in pennsylvania. he's holding four events in the commonwealth. what's the the strategy there? >> well, remember that joe biden has president obama there. pennsylvania is absolutely in play. the fact that obama won pennsylvania in 2012, trump won in 2016, they don't want to take pennsylvania for granted. they'll do everything they can and hope that the same people that came up and showed up for president trump in 2016 will do the same thing again. >> paul, in the final days before the election, biden and the dnc are expected to outspend the trump campaign and the rnc by nearly $20 million in ads and in fact, we just learned of one in florida with the former president obama, targeting spanish speaking voters there. with so many people though having already voted and the vast majority having already decided who they'r

trying to counterbalance as you say the democratic campaign on the offensive former president barack obama have been stumping for biden in harris in florida florida of course is generally conservative leaning in 2020 who knows where it's going to go is obama support a good thing for for the biden campaign. absolutely it's a good thing you have to remember brock obama is one of the most charismatic campaigners his or oratorial skills are certainly 2nd to none and far beyond the capabilities of joe biden his vice president for 8 years so this is the area of a great battleground in terms of florida it's a key state that donald trump wants to win it's also the state where donald trump lives so it's getting under donald trump skin the fact that barack obama is campaigning in his backyard in fact the president tweeting just now i'm happy that fox news is that is the president's favorite network is playing barack obama's rally he criticized it calling it a fake speech for biden a man that he could barely endorse because believe he was also i prepared many millions of dollars in taxes of russia wh
