instead, barack obama had to concede. energy is all on barack obama and hillary clinton, so we get through all of these primaries and john edwards and his two americas are not getting any traction. >> it's time for me to step aside so that history can blaze its path. >> it is now certain that for the first time in america, a major political party will nominate either a woman or an african-american to be its candidate for president. >> i feel change in the air! what about you? >> the united states political royalty was endorsing this first-term senator and turning his back on the clintons. for the clintons, it was personal because they had worked with ted kennedy. they were friends with ted kennedy, and it was a real blow for us. hillary said where do we go from here? and frankly we didn't have the answer. >> hillary clinton never anticipated, expected to have a well-financed opponent, well organized opponent like barack obama. >> her entire strategy is based on winning early on and closing down shop, moving on to the gene

i believe that he lost, trump's one because barack obama was president. barack obama was a black man and trump came out and he told the people, you guys would've for a black man, what the heck, this is not your country, this is not what the united states is about and they say yep, that's what we are thinking along, and we are not going back in that direction. so the reason trump was elected was basically because of racism and i don't know how you fix that. >> sonia i don't know if he notices but hillary clinton wasn't black. hillary clinton was a famous people in american politics. in this race came down -- it wasn't for trump and his messaging on hillary clinton -- on barack obama, his reference on hillary clinton. she was unable to mount the crack campaign to defeat donald trump at the end of the day. i'm not disputing the fact that trump has a lot of messaging that is racially charged. but at this point, he relatively had little messaging about obama, but it was all about crooked hillary. >> your book is out in paperback, ngt, time for volume two,. >>

i think he can compete with barack obama in any level whatsoever. i worked with barack obama. describe him. and you know what's so great about him? he's an old soul. he gets history. he understands it. but to me, it's about trump's narcissism. he wants people to think he's the smartest guy in the room. you have clips of that. he tells us, people, i was the greatest, you know? so he can't stand the truth, because the truth will bring him down. >> i was the greatest that was said by another american, mohammad ali, and he really did knock the guy out in the round he named. >> this is a different situation. >> thank you, former senator, barbara boxer. michael steele, thank both. >>> up next, will the real michael cohen please stand up? there he is! the real one. you're watching "hardball." biopharmaceutical researchers. driven each day to pursue life-changing cures... in a country built on fostering innovation. here, they find breakthroughs... like a way to fight cancer by arming a patient's own t-cells... and a new therapy that gives the blind a working gene so they can see again

in 2008, barack obama came out of nowhere is not true. hillary clinton in the polls, but he was a strong second. he was polling 20%. beto o'rourke, only 5%. >> difference number two, having a signature issue. what do you mean? >> can you tell me what his signature issue is? i really can't tell. barack obama, back in 2008, yes, it was hope and change. he had meat on the bones. he was talking about the iraq war. he was the only candidate who opposed the war from the beginning. the exit polls is one of the main reasons he won. without that, he would have lost the nomination to hillary clinton. >> difference three, minority voter support. it was obama's strength, but may be a weakness for o'rourke. >> if you look at beto o'rourke's primary performance in 2018, he performed worse in the southern counties with the highest percentage of hispanics. if you look at the general election, the reason he came so close is he outperformed hillary clinton. if you look at exit polls and where support came from, it was dallas and houston. he saw some outper

liz: we have representative omar ripping into former president barack obama, belittling barack obamag his, quote, agenda of hope and change was allusion and we have the chaotic divisions happening in part because of the three democrats, your take on her comments on barack obama? >> i actually kind of laughed and agreed a little. the reason we had president trump and bernie sanders rise in polls, obama to bush, to romney, a lot of the guys had same foreign policy. liz: her comments about barack obama are causing trouble. >> i don't think it's going to calm down any time soon. liz: chris, great to see you, thanks for coming in. we will come with controversy, alexandria ocasio-cortez, we will debate that next, stay there. .. ♪ ♪ i can do more to lower my a1c. because my body can still make its own insulin. and i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release it, like it's supposed to. trulicity is not insulin. it starts acting in my body from the first dose and continues to work when i need it, 24/7. trulicity is an injection to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabe

that do you think no no i mean when i say that i mean that you know frankly as progressives i think barack obama and me tend to sometimes think that history is moving in one direction that societies are becoming more tolerant and more inclusive and that were extending more opportunity to more people and cooperation between nations but the reality is that throughout history there's always a backlash to change there's always a reaction to changes not just in politics but in societies and down trump gave expression to that now the americans have been telling pollsters for years before that the country was going in the wrong direction and the support was waning for political institutions yet countries like congress for instance yes was down to fourteen percent at the end of obama's tenure it wasn't yes so that that was a warning that should have set off some warning in those trends have been in place for a long time i mean even predating obama you know obama was elected on a one stop change he didn't stop it the decline in support physicians absolutely not and you know with something like cong

barack obama have shown it.e ultimately in the context of running against very talented other democrats. is he going to show the gravitas and chops on policies when the debate started in a couple of months to come across a serious minded guy. everybody watches through the presidential, when beto o'rourke says i am about herch and republican or democrat, i am going to bring it all together. that's on the same plane of unrealism ultimately. >> right. >> can he be convincing? >> even though you work for a texan and we are walking about beto o'rourke. a texan. he does strike me as a good iowa candidate. when you think of the iowa, iowan iowans thhave this. they're looking for hope. >> they are. unique state pliolitically. you have certainly a progressive base there. but, i think candidates get a lot of points, a, for showing up. it is interesting that he started his tour not only in eastern iowa but south eastern iowa. >> george w. bush did that. so i thought it is an interesting mode. i agree with john. ultimately

now it sounds like she's been taking some hits at former president barack obama. he is beloved among democrats. in "vanity fair" they say democrats did not abandon omar over her comments about israel, but her criticism of barack obama is another matter. >> can you imagine? criticizing president obama is worse than saying something anti-semitic for the democratic party. if this wasn't crazy it would be very humorous. the democratic party scrambled to defend omar and forget her sins for suggesting that people have dual loyalty to the u.s. and the israel. people are hypnotized by israel and now attacks president obama in the worst way possible suggesting he is basically president trump but he had a pretty smile and a nice face. >> shannon: she is backpedalling on that. the report has his own tape. it sounds like the way she was quoted in context. matthew wrote that democrats are tripping over themselves dodging reality and trying to clean up this anti-semitic mess. kevin, why is she getting a pass from so many in the democratic party? >> i have to tell you, as a demo

the criticism of barack obama is another. those comments may prove to be more incendiary. >> imagine criticizing president obama is more incendiary than anti-semitism. there is something humorous. if this wasn't so crazy it would be very humorous. the democratic party scrambled to completely defend congresswoman omar and basically forgive her since the listing people have dual loyalty to the united states and israel, hypnotized by anti-semitic tropes she keeps tweeting out and asking forgiveness for and now she attacks president obama in the worst way possible by suggesting he is basically donald trump but had a pretty smile and a nice face. >> she's backpedaling on that but she produced tapes, the reporter says he stands by and has his own tape and pretty much sounds like the way she was quoted and in context. democrats are tripping over themselves making rationalizations, dodging reality and trying to clean up this anti-semitic mess. why is she getting such a pass from so many the democratic party? >> i am sick and tired of

she said "joe was like barack's big brother" so i could be completely candid. when i was asked for advice, i would pass on the advice i got from my mother and father and say politics is personal, and it is personal. one of the reasons things get on a little better in delaware than other places is that we know one another. as much as you disagree with the man or woman across from you on the merits of a political problem, you also know that they may have a son or daughter who is ill, or that someone's wife or husband is suffering from breast cancer or prostate cancer. you might know who has fallen on hard times. it makes it hard to dislike them when you know someone. when you know the struggles that they are going through. it makes them hard to dislike them. [and video clip caller: -- guest: he spent 30 years in the senate which is a very clubby institution. that is how a representative democracy works. compromise, and it is easier to compromise if you know the person. that joeed recently biden delivered the eulogy at strom thurmond's funeral and i got tweets say

obama would be barack obama.ome and saying i just saw the next president in ronald reagan. this is such a long process. i will tell you what the curse is, though, getting on the cover of "vanity fair," being highlighted by hope ra before you're in the race,the curse, interesting -- the claim is person going to meet the senate race is going to be able to meet the expectations, especially when he said he was exhausted on the senate race and went on this soul-searching journey. but he can grow. we seen candidates grow through the process. the saber metrics are not good on joe biden. >> i feel good about it. >> ronald reagan, like richard nixon, like a lot of presidential candidates, he has run before. he knows what it's going to take to win. and it seems to me the most important thing, steve kornacki, in my opinion and joe biden certainly doesn't need to listen to me or my opinion is he's running against a man with absolutely no discipline. the knock against joe biden on the campaign trail has been he has no discipl

which gets us closest to barack obama. what did he know, when did he know it. >> well, i think that you're absolutely right here, sean. one of the things i think i found most fascinating in the testimony, if you actually go back to bruce orr's testimony and compare it to lisa page, they both have different statements as to when lisa page actually knew about christopher steele. this is something i haven't seen out there. lisa page basically says she didn't know anything about the dossier in august 2016. but bruce orr specifically states in his testimony that he went to visit andrew mccabe at his office with information that had just been given to him by christopher steele on july 30th. so he goes to the office to meet with andrew mccabe. who's there to meet with him is lisa page. so actually he met with lisa page in august 2016. it was information that was actually given to him by christopher steele. and they're in the office. now, lisa page obviously right now -- we're looking at the testimony, i would say we're seeing a l

bush to barack obama was meant to be trump-free.resident specifically left off the invite list. meagan mccain in her eulogy sent a pointed message. >> we gather here to mourn the passing of american greatness. the real thing. not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly. >> reporter: jared and ivanka attended. months later mccain told stephen colbert they crashed her father's funeral. >> i was surprised when they were there. and it made me uncomfortable. and i hope i made them uncomfortable, honestly. >> reporter: the enmity between mcsxan trump started as far back as 1999 when trump said this on "60 minutes." >> does being captured make you a hero? i don't know. i'm not sure. >> reporter: in 2015 as the primary heated up, trump returned to the same claim. >> he's not a war hero. >> he's a war hero. 5 1/2 years -- >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured. okay? i hate to tell you. >> reporter: a month after trump said mccain wasn't a war hero mccain sa

first of all, i think that the next barack obama thing is overdone.ou know, there was one barack obama. and someone else will be who they are. but the similarity between them is that beto o'rourke has definitely engendered a very, very strong national following by preaching a gospel of unity and reconciliation, and that stands apart from the climate that's been created by the politics of the moment by president trump, and he did very well in texas. remember, two years ago, ana, no one had heard of beto o'rourke, and even in texas, he did very well there, he didn't win, but he did better than any democrat had in 20 years, and he raised $80 million nationally, which is no small matter. 750,000 contributors. so that gives him a foundation. and now, it's going to be up to him to prove that he is who people hope he will be. >> others have compared him to trump in the way he utilizes social media, and the way he is good at sort of marketing himself. in fact, when you two to his web site, you get this, you get a site with a place to donate, and have a shop s

. >> senator barack obama was working on this speech on race until early this morning. he's hoping not only to diffuse the commentary. >> we were in the green room, and senator obama turned to me and said, i know everybody's nervous, but i'm going to go out there and give this speech, and maybe people won't accept it,

o'rourke, who are these inspiring, optimistic, let's can't we all get along candidacies in 2008, barack obama among the democrats and mike huckabee among the republicans, the two most optimistic candidates and both came out of iowa with the win. there's that version of it. amy klobuchar was the midwesterner get things done messenger with me in this today and that also has an appeal with a certain chunk of iowa voters. i think they both sort of present the two almost competing types of messages to appeal to them. but i tell you this, with the iowans, i came away with one larger impression, which is joe biden's got a lot of work to do, because while joe biden is well-known, all of these democrats seem to be interested in essentially test driving a whole bunch of new cars before they sit there and decide whether the guy from delaware is

the intel people under barack obama were all dead wrong.ey were trying to frame him. which one was it? >> martha: ari fleischer said today he thought this kind of investigation and the beginnings of it with sally yates, as jesse mentioned, would never happen without the knowledge of the president. do you agree? >> dana: no, not necessarily. not to disagree with ari fleischer of course. i don't know. i think there's times when there's a bright line and sometimes -- i don't know how present he was in all of this, president obama. how much did he care? there's very few things that unite silicon valley democrats and trump supporters but frustration with barack obama's administration on not raising a flag on russian interference. they know for a while it was happening and then we hear that president obama in that meeting with putin in september of 2016 leans over and says knock it off. we know what's happening. america didn't know. we know now. one of the things that's amazing, to jesse's point about scandal, 2016's election integrity was barack

hypocritical of republicans to say that barack obama is not a patriotic. did more for this country, i think than donald trump will ever do. >> will silliest part of this. you don't argue, and insult a dead man, he is dead. heshis legacy lives on, you cant violate that, it already there mehgan mccain said it best, my dad is rollover in his grave. kennedy: i think people are looking back on senator mccain's life, saying, wow, he actually was really impressive guy. >> he was. >> this red meat for parts of trump base. >> i don't know about that. >> if you look -- >> this is one of those people said we can move on. >> if you view my twitter this is red meat. kennedy: view my twitter. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> coming up patriots owner kraft fight release of surveillance video for his alleged prostitution, hooker sting. can the super bowl champ do anything to prevent potential embarrassment. this is florida, the rules are different there. next. each day justin chooses to walk. at work... and after work. he does it all with dr. scholl's. only dr. scholl'

what he really is is their -- theto the former vice former president, barack obama. everything barack obama is, this man is not. is the total opposite. -- he is the total opposite. in my opinion he is satan. guest: we are on opposite sides because i felt that way about president obama. i felt like what he was doing was detrimental to the country. that is the discourse we are allowed to have. the thing we need to focus on is republicans -- as republicans and democrats is what is best for america. look at the economy, the jobs, the employment across all demographics and you will see the strongest economy. you can deny that but the facts are the facts. our foreign policy had run askew under the previous administration. get debt with china through the trade deficit. 600 billion dollars, intellectual property, that did not happen under barack obama, it is a neglect and negligence of the last four administrations. president trump is saying enough is enough. you should applaud that instead of attacking him, that is what is best for america. host: you quoted the old testamen

barack obama made the situation better every single year. now this year of course because of drot's policies, and -- drdo trump's policies, it's getting worse year after year. here we have the largest trade deficit, the largest in american history, just like the federal debt. he promised to balance the budget. no, it's exploded to record levels. we also have the largest federal overall debt in american history. he's not just doing worse than barack obama, he's doing worse than every american president and he's actually screwing up a border situation that barack obama's administration improved markedly and they did so while being humanitarian about it. >> first of all, joe, it's great to have you back with us at the table. thinking about you all week. to your points, all three of these areas, north korea, afraid and the border speak to donald trump's "art of the deal" falling apart. he sold himself as the master negotiator, master deal maker. he said we're going to stop getting ripped off by china. he was going to get in a room and by force o

that certainly was the case with barack obama. later he was off to the races and off to the democratic nomination in 2018 and the presidency. to the "washington examiner" siraj and former clinton campaign finance team member blake rutherford. blake, thinking of this money-raising skill, you could argue so many candidates raising so much money would be less inclined to drop out after race if you're well-financed. what do you think? >> i think that is exactly right, neil. certainly these candidates entered the race early. they raised a bunch of money. that will keep them in this thing for a while. as you know in politics money is sort of one early indicator of momentum, especially when we're still many months away from iowa and new hampshire. there is really not a way norfolks to understand how to separate such a large field unless there is money. polling will tell as you little bit as these debates happen but in the interim it is really all about the money. neil: you know money can make a lot of things right. doesn't always make ev

the next messiah or the next barack obama is not going to be the case. he'll have to demonstrate some depth. he's a robust challenger and i'm excited he's in the field. i look forward to the excitement he brings to the race but i also hope that excitement has policy depth. >> before we get to that, i want to follow-up how he was saying i was born do this and when you talk to critics that aren't quite sure what they think of him so far, to say that just drips of white male privilege and to think if a kamala harris, for example, were to say, i was born to do this, what do you think the reaction would be? >> well, i do think that there's certain elements that we have to look at and this just isn't a democratic flaw but this is a flaw we have in the yuts of america. i think that beto o'rourke has some privilege that allows him to do things and i think that many of the media are glowing and gloating in a way and urging him to run for a president in a way that stacey abrams and andrew gillum have not begun goaded to run. the things he's said in his rollout are

you know ended quite horrific lee you know you brought you mention barack obama let's let's focus on that a little bit you know here it is the first black president of the united states and i think the black community when i was also undone was not all that satisfied with how that went down you know speak on it. many of us i'm not satisfied with what we got out of his presidency what were you expecting i was expecting him to help level the playing field he could have assisted african-american communities by encouraging more financial growth but it was a problem why didn't you go down that path he became the president of all people why does this new president of all people in other words because his contribution residents are going to say he's not the president of no one is he this is kowtow to special interests many people will say that ok so how is that president for all people and how is it maintained that it's quotes that was in quotes president of ok she became the president of all people and in the process. we did not as a community grow to the extent to which we would have like

can you imagine barack obama saying that? remember when someone, a heckler at a barack obama event, he said, no, no, no, don't kick him out, leave him alone, he has a right to protest. remember that? class. that's classless. he's the president of the united states. or was running to be president of the united states. how do you defend that? let's not forget that one of the people who knew him best, his longtime if fixer michael cohen said in his capitol hill testimony just last month. watch this. >> when mr. trump turned around early in the campaign and said, i can shoot somebody on 5th avenue and get away with it, i want to be very clear, he's not joking. he's telling you the truth. you don't know him. i do. i sat next to this man for ten years and i watched his back. he's sending out the same message that he can do whatever he wants. this is his country. becoming an autocrat. >> and there's this. >> given my experience working for mr. trump, i fear that if he loses the election in 2020 that there will never be a peaceful tr

barack obama emailed hillary clinton, excuse me, barack obama. we know this. she emailed him from a private account. how do we know? hillary didn't have a state account. we know she emailed him from foreign soil. we also know barack obama said he didn't know about hillary's email. he said it in a televised interview we can all watch. he said that it's on the record. how did he thought know? now, here is the kicker, tucker. barack obama had a black blackberry email device. has to white list emails coming into that device so he doesn't get spam and trojans and things like that on the device. how did hillary clinton's email get on that if obama and his staff didn't know about hillary's email? sounds kind of like a scam to me, don't you think? i think they are covering for her. >> tucker: sounds like unanswerable question. really quick. will this ever be resolved? >> i think it will. bill barr has nothing to lose. we will go for it and reestablish the relationship for the doj and fbi. he will get to the bottom of it. >> tucker: i hope so. regardless of political p

that is a conversation and barack obama is not going to endorse anyone, but he can make a case to thene stood in his corner and protected him and had his back like he did. that may in fact mean something to a diverse audience. >> is it a problem, jennifer, if the obama team hasn't rallied around biden? >> yeah, it's not helpful. that's what i think he would be smart to lean into how hard it is. i know not to trust that poll that has me at the top. gravity will hit and i am not taking anything for granted and don't expect that i will have the support of everybody who supported me as vice president. i have to earn it. we like joe biden when he is an underdog and fighting back and the odds are against him. it's true for most politicians, but that would be his best shot. i think it is a really hard uphill battle for him. >> before i go, beto o'rourke, did he have a good weekend, tough weekend, or should twitter shut up? >> i always think twitter should shut up, but chuck, this is something i think is important about beto. you can't buy, you can't coach charis charisma. he has it. i'm not

referred to barack obama as, wow, storybooks, clean and articulate. whether or not he runs for president, he's using his public status much like the clinton's to rake in millions. from six-figure speaking gigs to seven-figure book deals, crazy uncle joe is turning his humble public service into a gold mine. if he runs, biden would be just the latest democrat to engage in class warfare politics, all while sitting on top of a mound of cash and the worst record of any political team, him and obama, we've seen in our lifetime.n we are going to have a lot more on 2020 politics throughout the show and also the year. but first, we have to turn our attention to our report ono hannity watch on the deep state tonight. we have brand-new information. we saw it with a brand-new "usa today" suffolk university poll. one half of americans now believe that president trump is in fact a victim of a witch hunt being carried out by robert mueller and his merry band of democratic donors. doesn't take a genius' team of investigators to realize that collusion is a hoax. in f

the same person who reports directly to barack obama. tonight we now have added a very important new component to this entire deep state issue. what did barack hussein obama know and when did he know it? this now takes it straight to the former president and the oval office, barack obama. thanks to paige, we also know the top fbi investigator, her boyfriend strzok viewed the investigation into trump russia collusion, that was the insurance policy that we knew they talked about. and they joined the russian investigation in order to build a case to impugn and potentially impeach the duly elected new president of the united states assuming that all their work and the release of all those lies and all of that propaganda and the dossier they disseminated to influence the american people before the vote in 2016. the only problem was there was collusion but it wasn't trump russia collusion. according to page, the fbi had absolutely no evidence after they started an investigation after exonerating hillary this investigation began in july of 2016

one thing to understand about the clinton and barack obama is that one of the things we often overlook is how much the democratic party shifted since the 1960s. the democratic party of bill clinton is not the democratic party of johnson. it is clinton who says the big era of big government is over. ends welfare as we know it. they turned us back into a centerrist party. and clinton had that, you know, that style. he was able to do that. as for -- the big one you talk about is reagan. and the reagan democrat. for all intense and purposes my book is a local study of people who later be called reagan democrats. in fact, one of the lines in the book is before people called them reagan democrats in philadelphia they were calling them rizzocrates. it was less about the party and more about the person. >> let me take it one step further, what is it about the white working class voter. what did they want from the elected officials, the mayor of philadelphia or the president of the united states. it is difficult to say. >> you are right. they are not a monolithic group. we should not treat them

- to have legitimacy in law enforcement and to make sure that everyone including hillary clinton, barackma, anyone else is fully investigated with the same vigor as the mueller investigation and especially from mainstream media, why is this only hatred towards president trump because as he said yesterday, this is a bias investigation so simply targeting him from the very beginning. rob: jenna thanks so much. appreciate it. jillian: have a good day, 11 minutes after the hour, president trump reelection campaign wasting to time using findings to its advantage. >> the evidence is pretty clear that there was collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. jillian: well, did the democrats just gift to the president an early 2020 win and ryan has called the probe a fairy tale from the start, he joins us live next. rob: how is james comey handling the no-collusion news? very oddly. we will show you this coming up. stay tune. i must admit. i had a few good tricks to help hide my bladder leak pad. like the old "tunic tug". you know it, right? but i don't have to, with always discreet. i co

it's been standing department of justice principle that whether it's donald trump, barack obama, george w. bush, or any other president, that a sitting president of the united states couldn't be indicted. so not surprising that that didn't happen, regardless of what the evidence showed. eric: you know what the critics are saying, that donald junior is going back, jared kushner is going down, you'll have a whole range of indictments that came. >> and they didn't. the question is, what did donald trump know and what did he know when. and maybe a whole lot of nothing here. but the democrats are going to insist that, look, we need every bit of information put out into the public doug domain or that e have access to so we can determine whether donald trump or -- here's the big one, needs to be looked at for impeachment, something that the democrats have been resistant at the leadership level for because they don't want to go forward with that particular process but if there was evidence to indicate that donald trump in some way or some fashion either colluded with russians or knew informatio

when barack obama left office, he was more popular than george bush.e who loved him and people who hated him was larger than it had been with president bush. >> the dark polarization of the last few years is the worst of american history with one exception. the period around the civil war. on april 15th, 1865, president abraham lincoln was assassinated. the country was still deeply divided over the civil war, entered andrew johnson. johnson was a southern democrat who lincoln picked to create a national unit ticket. there are few things historians agreed upon but this was one, andrew johnson was one of america's worst president. >> he was essential lyanly a ra who was dead set on congress' program of reconstructing the south. >> republicans in congress despise him. the republican control congress decided to wage a political war. it sets an impeachment trap for him. that trap was called the ten-year of office act. >> congress passed the law over johnson's veto that says he could not fire his own cabinet members. >> when president johnson fired his secre
