no, barack obama loud. and the best speech in american history is no barack obama like my personal favorite speech. i think it's a speech, a favorite of a lot of speechwriters is the robert f kennedy speech that he gave in south africa. is that your favorite? okay. so that's so there you go. so, you know, if you've never second inaugural, but it's not that contemporary to this, but if you haven't never have a chance to read it, take a few minutes, listen to it. there is audio of it. so he's in south africa. he's speaking to a conference of youth. and and he's speaking about the power of youth. it's the famous ripples of hope speech and one of the beautiful sections of it is see that i love about it so much is that he sort of goes throughout history. jesus. martin luther king, martin, you know, the original martin luther. and he reminds us all that these people, all these great historic actions for change that they took occurred when they were in their twenties, in their early thirties. so it's a tremendous

my second favorite was barack obama. host: why obama? caller: because he was -- i just think he was really a great president. host: that is kathleen in kentucky, the bluegrass state. to the keystone state, rose, good morning. who is your favorite president? caller: my favorite president is donald j. trump. i will tell you why. because he is running this country like a business. just like he was so successful in his business ventures, he is making our country successful. he is actually -- he thinks outside the box. that is what i like most about him. he is so in tune. a few of the callers said j.f.k. and ask not what your country can do for your country but ask what you can do for your country. that is what he is about. he is not just about giving money away to the welfare state. he does not want u.s. money to go to foreign enterprises. that is why all of his accent right now is on getting rid of usaid because all of that money was going overseas. thank you very much for taking my call. host: before you go, there is a member of congress t

boyle: someone who has spoken well on this topic repeatedly was barack obama. he has referenced the fact that we all have older relatives who might put something in a way that might not be entirely politically correct or the language used today. it doesn't necessarily mean they're bad people or should be canceled. there are a lot of people with a good heart and good intentions but might put things in a different way. i very much believe we should not be about canceling them or dismissing them. and i think that sort of instinct actually turns a lot of people off. tara: right, definitely. >> i'm from pa-5, tellco so happy p.a. is in the house. it really seemed like joe biden with not push back on the left at all and felt like bernie sanders was running his economic policy and my question is how can democrats, it seemed like obama did this more, push back on the left than sort of staying moderate because i feel a lot of people were turned off by some of joe biden's policies. mr. boyle: it's interesting you have that perception because i have heard the same questio

then barack obama forget i still remember -- then barack obama. still remember watching his speech, in two years, the black people. i felt their happiness because it was long overdue. and third, i will say joe biden. i miss him. history is going to show how much he did for us in the four years. he brought us through covid. he made so many executive orders that trump throughout the window -- threw out the window. we will have to recover from that and it will take four years. it will take another four years for and democrat to come in -- a democrat to come in. host: a reminder to turn down your television. this is ricky. good morning. who is your favorite president, ny? caller: yes, my favorite president is john f. kennedy. my name is ricky mason from north carolina, and i believe john f. kennedy was the best president that this country ever had. host: and why, ricky? caller: because john f. kennedy at the time that he was president and as far as i can remember in the 1960's, he stood for the country and the people, and he cared for the citizens of

now, in recent times, it's known that both bill clinton, barack obama loved the vineyard and spent summer vacations. it was really the presidential retreat, much more so than than camp david would be able to claim. and clinton visited. vineyard for the first time in august of 93. he actually did working vacation and went over crime legislation and and health care reform. you that was going to be his big impetus to get universal health care passed that was a lot of planning happened right here on the vineyard he returned in october of 1995 for the three day wedding celebration and for ted danson, dead. ted danson and, mary steenburgen and he gave his weekly radio address from the old whaling church in newtown in august of 97. it is claimed our president clinton claimed that he broke 80 farms, neck golf with all due respect to the president, he does have a reputation of taking more than a few mulligans. when he was golfing. we don't know how legitimate that score of breaking 80 was, but nonetheless, he claimed that was the best he had ever. he was here in august of 98 and had to interrupt h

we saw barack obama and everybody else not say anything. and nancy pelosi stood up and said something. he writes the editorial but, bill clinton, hillary clinton, nobody else pushed it. and when we sat on the couch and say this guy can't function. he's only working two hours a day. this is bad for the country. now they said you are being ageist or you are being partisan. >> ainsley: can't say i saw him at the ccontend center. he only writing that letter the world knew it. they were all trying to hide his cognitive decline and he couldn't handle the debate. >> lawrence: ainsley they are trying to water it down. he wasn't less sharp. all of us have had family members gone through this. >> brian: i blame the family. >> lawrence: 100 percent blame the family. they don't know what they are going through at that time. it's clearly a medical condition. just be honest, about it. stop trying to say he lost his fast ball. it's not that. the president has a medical condition. then we have to put the dlarm oh we are not doctors, we're not doctors. no,

then barack obama forget i still remember -- then barack obama. still remember watching his speech, in two years, the black people. i felt their happiness because it was long overdue. and third, i will say joe biden. i miss him. history is going to show how much he did for us in the four years. he brought us through covid. he made so many executive orders that trump throughout the window -- threw out the window. we will have to recover from that and it will take four years. it will take another four years for and democrat to come in -- a democrat to come in. host: a reminder to turn down your television. this is ricky. good morning. who is your favorite president, ny? caller: yes, my favorite president is john f. kennedy. my name is ricky mason from north carolina, and i believe john f. kennedy was the best president that this country ever had. host: and why, ricky? caller: because john f. kennedy at the time that he was president and as far as i can remember in the 1960's, he stood for the country and the people, and he cared for the citizens of

i remember when i was 13 watching then-state senator barack obama deliver the keynote address at the democratic national convention in boston, 2004, and feeling inspiration in a way i had never felt, that i had only read about. really it was barack obama's rise and his campaign in 2007-2008 that showed me the politics of the past really could be the politics of the present. the politics of conquering seemingly impossible obstacles and widening the circle of opportunity and freedom to more people. rep. mcbride: in addition to the state senate in delaware, you are president of the student government at american university. what did those earlier experiences teach you in terms of policymaking and politics? rep. mcbride: the first thing i learned early on was you shouldn't ignore opportunities for change in front of you. i was at american university here in d.c. a lot of my student peers were more interested in interning on the hill, and those are great experiences. we have some great interns in our office. a lot of times they ignored opportunities to foster change and take leadership op

[cheers and applause] now that senator barack obama is president-elect barack obama, someone will haver his senate seat. this is the governor's decision. uh, it is not my decision. the criteria that i would have for my successor would be the same criteria that i'd have if i were a voter. senator obama becomes president obama. he resigns his senate seat. according to the law here in illinois, you as the governor get to name his replacement. now you're excited about this, and you say on tape, "i'd like to get the [bleep] out of here," and you're talking about options for yourself. does that mean, "i'd like to get the [bleep] out of here," you were sick of being governor? that's absolutely the things i was saying, of course, and i was looking at all kinds of options. so he attempted to trade obama's seat for a golden parachute. he begins to be heavily courted by all sorts of people who would love to be that u.s. senator. they saw something really valuable here-- a very valuable bargaining chip that could elevate his power in some way or-- or benefit them monetarily. when i said i wanted t

and pardoned former illinois governor blagojevich who served 8 years in prison for trying to sell barackobama's senate seat, trump commuted his 14-year sentence back in 2020. then he got into the questions with reporters. and when he was asked about hamas delaying this weekend's planned release of three hostages, hamas accusing israel of violating the cease-fire agreement, president trump said all of these hostages must be released on saturday or he will urge israel to call off the cease-fire and all hell will break out he expects the plan to move forward with egypt and jordan. listen. >> jordan had expressed. >> tomorrow. >> taking in more gazans and palestinians. how are you going to convince him to do otherwise? >> bret: i think he will take. i do think he will take. i think other countries will face, also. they have good hearts. >> finally we had news today on the release of the jfk assassination files. on friday the a.g. and dni offices presented their plan to the president to release those files and disclose that some 2400 previously unknown of files were uncovered by the fbi as a

i think this is a little bit -- i am jealous of barack obama.lle and barack obama did with netflix for like $45 million? the first thing he does is come out of the gate and he wants to play in the hollywood lane. you are never going to be barack obama. i remember it -- then being upstaged at the end. remember when they were in that white house event, he was trying to get barack obama's attention. i think at some of that. i don't know. as long as he doesn't have to do anything, they will be fun. "weekend at bernie's part 2". >> it could be. that's a really interesting analogy. rebecca, i think you'll like caa's statement, you in particular. "president biden is one of america's most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs. his lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, possibility." i think there are two warts. china is crippling tight one come a l -- lost afghanistan. they are reacting. >> every time present biden had to speak in a very public events that had to do with national security, i j

will they do the same for barack? donald trump changed city skylines around the world, yet obama can't even finish a library at a local park. at this rate, trump will finish his library first. and who knows, maybe mexico will pay for it. fox and friends weekend co-host charlie hurt joins me now. charlie, this is quite a long process. what happened here? >> well. >> first of all, i just want to take a minute to appreciate how badly masks aged. i mean, looking at this right here, with all of them masked up and shields on their faces, i just. i love that forever. we will be explaining to our children and our grandchildren this psychotic episode that we all went through and that we never want to go through again. for the library. i love this story. it is the greatest story. it is a perfect encapsulation of barack obama's presidency. it was unnecessarily racialized. and then it winds up being years late, massively overbudget. and then, of course, we find out totally incompetently done. kind of like everything he did throug

no, bill clinton can be bill clinton and then barack obama. right. barack obama wins.ama coalition, which everybody thought was transferable, not transferable. and that's why donald trump and this the point. donald trump wins because he's donald trump. like donald trump's political skills are not transferable. just like reagan's weren't just like clinton's weren't just like obama's weren't just like his weren't. >> yeah. >> but i think that's right. i think it's also true that the country at large is so at. >> the moment, distrustful of institutions, of government, of people who work in government. there's so much anger. and that is one of the only kind of constant threads between. >> republicans and. >> democrats is. >> a. >> distrust of all of these. >> institutions. >> including the media, by. >> the way. >> yeah. and i think. at that moment. >> that moment is made for someone like donald trump. >> to come along. >> as a i'm going to come break. things and. be a disrupter. >> now. no one here. >> believes that that's that he is the solution, right? >> no question. >

so, 2008, barack obama was elected president of the united states. he had been a us senator, you might remember, had he lost that presidential campaign, he would have returned to just being a us senator. but he did not lose. he won. and because he became president, that meant there was a vacancy. he had to vacate his senate seat in order to move to the white house. and that meant the governor of illinois would have to appoint somebody new to take that us senate seat that barack obama was vacating. now, in pure partizan terms at the time, democrats were not all that worried about that because the governor of illinois was also a democrat. obviously, barack obama had been a democratic senator just in terms of the partizan math. nobody thought it would be that big a deal. but turns out that for the governor of illinois, his party affiliation was not the most important thing to know about him. the most important thing to know about him was that he was a total crook. a crook who decided to sell that senate seat for anything he could get, and then to talk a

barack obama used mr. crapo's policy baseline to keep the george w. bush tax cuts in place.called it a permanent baseline, it was a policy baseline, they should do the same thing now, obama was a smart fellow, we have exhausted that, you are american hero, a great service record, a west point grad. couple things on this mr. wesley hunt. recruitment in month of january, is at a 15 year high. what do you make of this. >> shocking. it is amazing what you see with a president that believes in america. imagine this, only about changing how we feel and the motive about what it means to make america great again this is good, a reason why there are 20 million people that have entered illegally, and people want to be here, because we're in an amazing country, i have young people that are willing to fight for trump and fight for america first, what has been missing. someone that searched in combat, that served 20 years ago in baghdad, i loved seeing young people reinvigorated to want to serve, it happened in the last two months, amazing. >> probably not peaked yet, my hunch your fello

illinois governor rod blagojevich tried to sell barack obama's vacated senate seat. he tried to use that senate seat appointment essentially, to extort things from all sorts of people, all sorts of ways. he thought he should get paid for making that eventual appointment. he wanted a six figure job for himself after his governorship. he wanted his wife put on corporate boards for another six figure payout. he wanted big campaign donations. he demanded a cabinet position for himself in obama's new government. or better yet, he wanted to be an ambassador. he really liked the idea. >> of being. >> an ambassador. rod blagojevich, as i mentioned, did a lot of this on tape. he was eventually charged with trying to shake down a chicago newspaper and a chicago children's hospital. he was. >> charged. >> with trying to shake down people who had contracts with the government for a kickback. campaign contributions. he was charged with lying to the fbi, and he was trying charged with trying to sell that senate seat. ultimately, rod blagojevich was convicted and he got 14 years in

one of those american presidents, of course, was our 44th barack obama. his israel, his relationship with the chancellor developed into one of great mutual respect. he awarded her the u.s. medal of freedom in 2011. and by the time he left the white house, he was describing her as probably his closest international partner. she, in turn, writes in her memoir about how much she valued his analytical abilities and his counsel. what a special privilege and honor to have them both on stage here. now. one, one, one reminder again before they come out, the chancellor will be speaking in german and the translation will come through these earpieces that i hope all of you have received. just turn up the volume on the side. if you find yours isn't working. try to signal one of the ushers or go to the back and get another one. and at the end of the event, please leave your device on your chair. so, ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming chancellor merkel and president obama. hey. hello, everybody. it is good to see all of you. i am not oprah winfrey. this

it was signed by barack obama in 2015. from the agreement. on his first day in office in 2021.nd in yet another twist in this tale, the billionaire and former republican mayor of new york mike bloomberg has said his philanthropic agencies will give the united nations but president trump is seeking to reverse more than just on the campaign trail, he made clear his plans to get oil and gas flowing in greater quantities and killjoe biden�*s part of the former president's inflation reduction act. in the last few days of his presidency, joe biden�*s so, other than leaving the paris climate agreement, on day one, he declared a national emergency to speed up permits he's making drilling for oil and gas in the arctic and along the coast of the united states possible again. new electric vehicles. in the cost of living. to increase production and, in his words, bring so, could it work? council, a life member of america's council of foreign relations and sits on the board of directors free up oil and gas permits and leases... so, he's back to "drill, baby, drill," and he's talking once ag
