that is the barack obama of 1985. three years later, after the three years in chicago on the sheila, dayde with one when barack arise at harvard law school in 1988, every classmate who meets him, without exception, thinks that this is someone who will be a public star. to my mind, the humongous contrast between what people who knew barack before chicago thought of him and what people at harvard see in 1988, that is what really documents the self transformation he experienced between 1985 and 1988. from the community years, barack was a student and editor of "the law review" at harvard, a lawyer, a law teacher, a state legislator in illinois across the 1990's, i think he is a wonderful, compelling, impressive political figure. comes my favorite moments on the floor of the illinois state senate, where everything was transcribed word for word. transcripts are on the web. it takes some work to go through them, but anybody can find everything. how, atck is recounting their condominium in hyde park, he is not allowed to smok

here is david maraniss on his book, barack obama. >> in president obama's memoir dreams from my father, there's a very provocative a couple of pages where he says, i was involved with a girl in new york and she was white. and from the moment that he sort of burst that to the political scene, every political reporter in the world wanted to find out who this woman was. first, we found out someone had a letter that said, "barack broke up with genevieve." that was our first hint, so we had a first name. then over the course of many, many months, putting all of this into the computer in variations, founa wedding announcement in new york that eventually took me to a name that i checked in the records in cnecticut and found another name and eventually found genevieve cook and she struck up a conversation with me over the course of man many weeks. at one point she wrote to me an email that i'll never forget, saying, "dear david, i've been reading about how you wrote your book on vietnam and i saw what how important it was for you to have contemporaneous documents. by the way, i kept a diary."

less than year ago, then president barack obama made the historic announcement about the u.s. joining the paris climate agreement. this also happened in the rose garden in 2016. president obama: today is a historic day for protecting our planet for future generations. 10 months ago in paris i said before the world we needed to strong global agreement to reduce carbon pollution and to set the world on a low carbon course. the result was the paris agreement. >> let's get your thoughts, our panel joining us now. david, the managing director of the public citizens climate program, and ed hutchins. he has been with me throughout the speech. just your first reaction to what the president had to say. >> i endorse and am happy to hear just about all of it, especially the fact that this is something that has crippled -- that could cripple american businesses and competitiveness. i'm happy this is pro-energy. energy is a good thing, not a bad thing. it is pro-coal. coal is a very important part of our energy mix. i have one or two disagreements. the first disagreement is i don't know wha

former barack obama released a statement on the decision to withdraw from the climate agreement, saying that "i believe the united states of america should be at the front of the pack. that even in the absence of american leadership, even as --s administration joins future generations the one planet we've got." the agreementin include syria, nicaragua, which felt it did not go far enough, and now the united states. trump just heard donald make the announcement that the united states will leave the paris climate accord. nathan, trump has some pretty critical comments about the deal, saying it was unfair for the united states, but he also had something to say about china. >> when we start? what a speech. first speech,ca the strongest we have seen from president trump so far. i think it was encapsulated in one line, "i was elected reps who -- to represent the citizens of pittsburgh, not paris." could continue increasing its emissions the next 30 years. basically saying the same about india, that they could build hundreds of coal-fired power plants over the life of the agreement while the u

of them seek to be democracies under barack obama's watch. host: our guest is edward luce a columnist with the financial times. we will get to your phone calls moment. you wrote that the u.s. is the source of global instability. how so? i think that the u.s. under donald trump has become a instability. 70 years ago just after the econd world war america under the tourismen administration and check list son was brent at the creation. united created the nations, bretten woods, i.m.s. world bank. the institutions we see as aturally part of the area were created with an extraordinary effort of vision and will by the united states. united states did 70 years hose generally speaking america was resumes der of global based system. it was the generator of rightly seen as such because america believed in that it had receipted. donald trump doesn't believe in these rules. sees the outside orld basically as a source of -- as a dark place. asdoesn't see foreign policy shared values. he sees basically as a one after the ther with countries that are rippin

it was the desire to avoid repeating bush's pwhrupbtder that caused barack obama such indecision when the arab spring erupted in 2011. guest: we had the rebellion against the autocracy that covers every square inch of the middle east. i think that the west and obama in particular was caught in a great dilemma. because if you are going to give backing to democracy the chances are that people will vote freely and fairly in open elections for islamist governments like they did in egypt with the muslim brotherhood and that these governments are going to go about shutting down the very operators that helped get them elected. so there is a very difficult dilemma. obama of course had an extra inhibitor if you like stemming from what he called the dumb war war, the 2003 invasion of iraq. the fact that it had been, the aftermath was so disastrous and obama himself arguably won the nomination in 2008 by opposing the dumb war. a war that hillary clinton had voted for. so i think that this caused something of a paralysis in obama. he wanted to promote democracy but definitely si promotions -- dem

president barack obama has issued a statement while we have been talking, and you can imagine, it is very different from the speech that we heard. he is basicay

president, barack obama was signing, was noting that the agreement had come in. on november 4, that is actually the date that there was enough signatures to bring it into force. four days later was the u.s. election. : he says hasn't happened in recent years. i'm just struck by the national epic poem that he took that made it a 70 issue. this was an issue that conservatives, republicans had brought up during the negotiation of the paris climate agreement and resisted the negotiation of putting the united states in a position where it had accountability to other countries. that was how it was sold. the reality is this agreement didn't have a lot of enforcement. it was a nationally determined contribution, each individual country came up with them and was agreeing to abide by them. it can be changed. what i want to know for you, elaine, you talked about renegotiation and there is no mechanism to renegotiate. what options to change the us climate posture with respect to international agreement are simply starting all over or starting a new agreement completely. basi

in the past 3 months compared to 25,000 under president barack obama's final months in office. according to the united nations there are more than 63 million refugees worldwide. >>> there is a new hot line based in the south bay that aimed at immigrants. volunteers will staff the hot line around-the-clock and respond in persons to immigration raids. it is backed by the congregations of dozens of churches and plans call for phone staff to be able to tell a caller about their rights in realtime. similar hot lines are in action in san francisco and oakland. >>> new at 10:00,s are time of celebration for the muslim community is over. in south sacramento and daveis two islamic centers were found damaged corans. one burned filled with bacon was pound hanging by handcuffs near the center in south sacramento. the head of the sacramento area council and american relations explained whoever left it there missed their target. >> not the mosque fence but in front of the sheriff's department. they did not realize the sheriff department is next door. not smart. >> in davis, someone drove by

you president donald trump will announce plans for miami to roll tok barack obama's policy cuba.e is expected to tighten rules on americans traveling to the communist island. federal policy will restrict american companies from doing business with cuban enterprises controlled by the military. he is trying to meet a campaign pledge but struck down of closing embassies are breaking diplomatic ties. trump's's said it -- aides said obama's easing has not helped human relations. cuba, donald trump plans to roll back part of the historic deal reached by present -- former president barack obama. he is stopping short of cutting diplomatic ties with the island, while campaigning, trump called the cube accord a bad deal and said he could've negotiated a better deal. it has many cubans anxious. he is expected to tighten rules governing travel and restricting u.s. companies from doing business with cuban enterprises owned by the military. some say it would make it nearly impossible for american companies to operate on the island. military is involved in well over half of the cuban economy. y

the education of barack obama was it was not always the case.is where he thought it would be it. it does not change. remember also, and here is the odd permutation of this sad and tragic situation in virginia, the people targeted generally fierceg are pretty second amendment near absolutists. you know what i am saying. the targets in this case are not people who have previously been known to be at argue for greater gun control. charlie: one of them today in a passionate conversation said i wish i could have had a gun because i could have saved lives. >> that is a recognizable reaction. when someone is shooting at you we you cannot shoot back, know the capitol police were not there with guns. there would have been a massacre. i understand that reaction entirely. a lot of people say the urban elites do not understand the feeling of i would rather have begun then not have a gun because the addition of a gun to a situation will make it worse, but there is the argument to be made the addition of a gun mitigated some of the damage. charlie: they went

one could argue barack obama under reacted. the president that the -- he was the president in opposition of the bush dial. declaring a redline and not enforcing it. that is not only true in syria. you could argue on the margins that he didn't do enough to box in china. that didn't do enough to keep russia from doing what it did in ukraine. all of those things said, those presidents operated within normal bandwidths and they had internal consistency and the records are -- particularly in barack obama's case, he did a lot to lift america's verification, through his seriousness of his presence, he had a lot of problems as well. something obama said to me. his frustration with nato, they sometimes act as free riders. donald trump is on the continuum with that. the key difference is that barack obama understood in his bones that the relationship between the united states and the european allies were not a mercantile relationship or to put it more bluntly, not a mafia relationship. you pay us so we protect you. he understood that. li

groups, donald trump is carrying forward barack obama's strategy. —— the fightr the key issue that president obama pursued during his time, the iranian nuclear deal, resident trump said during his campaign that he would care and other net —— he would turn up on day one. and he is not. that should please you. that does. but our military and partners is in the region, as does the israeli security establishment, they realise that this deal improve security in the region. psion have is the continuity on this issue and then carrying it forward. but i do worry that some of the stosur donald trump is taking the stosur donald trump is taking the could make a conflict with the reigning state more likely. and that would put american lives and stick —— at risk. would put american lives and stick -- at risk. looking at bashar assad, the president there, very much an ally of iran, but he has been applauding donald trump for his intervention. this following the chemical attack with hundreds dead. was it a good thing that did it? batting was a good thing. but it is a good thin

and so i prayed for barack obama. now i continue to pray for him. and pray for donald trump. -- and i pray for donald trump. that his presidency will be successful and that his family will be safe. because it is about family. we are called for a purpose to this body. it's a great thing. and we know what it means to each of us to serve and we recognize that in others. and we also recognize that you have your constituents, we have ours. and we respect you and your constituents who sent you here. all worthy of respect. but we do have our differences. and so i pray, my prayer is that we can resolve our differences in a way that furthers the preamble to the constitution, takes us closer to e plure bus ewe numb. and today -- eplur business ewe numb. today, again, it's in the family. it's an injury in the family. for the staff and for our colleagues and for his leadership. as i mentioned a minute ago, in the fuller thing, sports are a wonderful thing in our country. probably one of the most unifying -- i think the arts, we like to say music or plays or wha

first came into office about his birth certificate and did barack obama show it to him? now he won't show your taxes but he's supposed to be so rich. i don't know where you guys have been. if you listen, mitch romney told you all from day one this is a con man. what part of that don't you all understand? >> guest: consistency has not been a part of the basics donald trump's personality. this the caller raises legitimate points about going after barack obama's birth certificate and demanding transparency there are not beins transparent when it comes to his own finances. >> host: one last call. alabama, republican line. >> caller: i'd like to ask your guest one question.e only p out of everything that i've been watching on the news and all, the only person, the only people i've ever seen during this whole time has been hillary clinton and bill clinton. you all need to kill the whole story instead of part of the story. >> guest: i think we are always learning more about the story almost every day.know the i think the story has not been told, we do not know thed complete sto

one could argue barack obama under reacted to events.s the president in opposition of the bush dial. declaring a redline and not enforcing it. charlie: not doing enough for the people when it thought it was a moment of change. >> that is not only true in syria. his general posture toward democratic rebellions. you could argue on the margins that he didn't do enough to box in china. that didn't do enough to keep russia from doing what it did in ukraine. all of those things said, those two presidents operated within normal bandwidths and they had internal consistency and the records are -- particularly in barack obama's case, he did a lot to lift america's reputation in vast sectors of the world. he had a lot of problems as well. we are talking about something completely different. this is something obama said to me. he talked about nato and his frustration with nato, they sometimes act as free riders. they take our money and don't pay their own defense bill. donald trump is on the continuum of thought with that. the key difference is that

and i say that his only purpose createdse barack obama the policy. mean, his only agenda is to go behind barack obama, everything that he touched and negate it. if barack obama had done nothing in the eight years he was in, donald trump would have nothing to do because that is his only goal, to negate everything that barack obama did. negated, reverse it, whatever he can do. thank you. guest: host: in many ways, the president is trying to reverse what president obama did. but this was the campaign promise candidate trump made at the end of the campaign. although as i said, he has evolved on the issue. at the end of the day, he really did not meet the campaign promise in terms of the extent of change he said he was going to do. in fact, he started the speech yesterday saying he was canceling everything president obama had done on the issue of cuba. that is not accurate according to the white house statement. host: our last call for this half-hour comes from gus from key largo, florida, on the line for republicans. good morning. caller: good day. i am

he asked barack obama when he came into office about his birth certificate.id barack obama show it to him? now he won't show you his taxes but he is supposed to be so rich . i don't know where you have been. if you listen, mitt romney told you from day one this is a con man. what part of that don't you understand? mr. pomeranz: consistency has not been a basic part of donald trump's political personality. the caller raises legitimate after about his going barack obama's birth certificate and demanding transparency but not being transparent when it comes to his own party. pedro: one less call. lamar, alabama, republican line. caller: i would like to ask your guest one question. at of everything i have been watching on the news, the only person -- the only people i have ever seen take money from russia has been hillary clinton and bill clinton. so you need to tell the whole story. not just part of the story. thank you. mr. pomeranz: i think we are always learning more about this story almost everyday. i think the story has not been told. we do not know the comp

that is what trump is certainly finding out, that is certainly what barack obama found a early in his presidency. he is doing less than he thought he could do. the only real question is how much he learns. mark: are you saying that the opportunities he has squandered and his inability to move forward is equivalent to barack obama in his first year, or is a different because donald trump had no political experience and want to to take on the white house as a ceo? mr. brooks: certainly that is the case. it is always a different situation for each president. obama came as a senator, and had advice from the clinton administration who said do not try this, try this. trump has not staffed up to the extent he can have experienced around him to tell him the things he can do. different circumstances, but it is important for us to realize that there but for the grace of god goes anyone. mark: you suggested that political parties are part of the solution to populism, that they need to have a program that appeals to american people. do ideologies and parties matter as much in an american society

people like barack obama are saying this is president trump rejecting the future.at cities and states and businesses will step. he said in the last few minutes a green alliance forged between the green alliance forged between the green states. and the new york city mayor slammed this decision as immorale. but this is what they are saying on the west coast and the east coast but it is not what is said in the american heartland says donald trump. it is there it took hold. that the paris accord was a job killer and the reduce and coal states are the important electoral region of america. donald trump has angered many people around the world but pleased the people that put him in the white house. nick, thank you. we are going brussels. qatar is there. the president is talking of renegotiating in some form. but what is the response in brussels among the europeaning leaders? europe is ina the europeaning leaders? europe is in a defiant mood. in paris, the town hall has been lit up in green in support of the environment. we have had a joint statement from germany, italy a

i do think, though, that if -- if donald trump wants to solely focus on the barack obama administrationoblems, slowleslo slowness to respond, and obama's own administration official said he sort of choevged in that "washington post" story, that's fair game. so, too, is the question to this administration, well what are you doing now to prevent it from happening again? now you acknowledge it xifrted, yes, complaints about the way the previous administration did it. so what will you do to ensure our democratic process moves forward unabated in the future? >> and does this mean that the president is actually buying in to the intelligence community now on the seriousness of the problem? i mean, this is a -- this is a problem that the president all along has said, well, either a., it's business as usual, or, b., you know, it's -- i'm not quite sure. could have been china, could have been russia. could have been the fat guy sitting on his bed. right? so now, buying in to the seriousness of the problem, and if he is, to your point. what is he going to do tab? >> mark, he also said, in this twe

so, i pray for barack obama. i continue to pray for him and i pray for donald trump, that his presidency will be successful, and that his family will be safe. it is about family. purpose toed for a this body. it is a great thing. we know what it means to each of us to serve, and we recognize that in others. haveso recognize that we constituents, you have yours, and we respect you and your constituents that said you here. all worthy of respect. we do have our differences. , and my prayer is that we can resolve our differences in a way that furthers the constitution and takes us closer to e pluribus unum. it is in the family. it is an injury in the family. for the staff, and for our colleague. ,s a mentioned a minutes ago sports are a wonderful thing in our country. probably one of the most unified things. probably arts, music, but, sports bring us together. you see it will have the biggest differences on opinion and politics and, yes, when their team is on the field, people come together. people come together. whe

on the other side, we already saw an agreement from former president barack obama saying that the united states has chosen to lead the future behind. some good reactions on both sides. anchor: this was a highly anticipated reaction. we pretty much knew that he would withdraw from this accord. barbara, i'll turn to you in brussels. another thing that he was reiterating over and over was that he wanted to negotiate a better deal. is that possible? there are nearly 200 signatories to this deal already. is there the possibility of renegotiating? barbara: legally, not really. but let's look at the contents. what does he want? he wants to be rid of this, rid of all the obligations either to reduce carbon dioxide, and also he wants to be rid of the obligations to pay money to the lesser developed countries, to increase their own production of renewable energies. he wants to be rid of the deal. what is there to talk about? nothing, really. what could a deal tom -- what could a deal look like that gives everything to america and nothing to the rest of the world? it's not feasible and, in a way, i

he echoed barack obama saying this would be bad for america. president nixing the paris climate accord. he says even in the absence of american leadership, he's confident, coming from barack obama, that this is good. but joe biden, not quite convinced that this imperils our security. cutting to the chase here. their statements are quite long. tweets are supposed to be short. utah republican senator, mike lee. good to have you, senator. >> good to be here. >> neil: what do you think of this reaction? imperils our future, lose the faith of the world? >> i don't see it. the doomsday predictions are going to turn out to be bluster. it has to be pittsburgh before paris. one of the best lines of the speech. it was a brilliant move. good messaging. >> neil: the mayor of pittsburgh is a democrat. they'll honor that accord. he wasn't a fan of that comparison. but it's unusual to walk away from an agreement, signed or not. looking back at this, going back to the earliest times, were we so focused on he's things? >> we were focussed in philadelphia in 178

but he is sending more in, rather than drawing down, as barack obama did.sertive. it is interesting, because what donald trump is talking about doing is adding more troops, but he's asking our nato partners to step up and add at least half of them. so even he recognises that simply inserting huge numbers of american troops back into theatre afghanistan is not a winning strategy. and in that way, i think his campaign rhetoric, and what he's realised about the realities of these fights, there's a big gap between them. if you — if you want to argue that donald trump is different to barack obama in foreign policy, you're going to get no debate from me. i believe they're very different. the point i am making is that when it comes to the fight between isis and extremist groups, what donald trump is doing is carrying forward ba rack obama's strategy. it is hard to see meaningful departures from that strategy. and when it comes to iran, on the key issue that president obama pursued on iran during his time, the iran nuclear deal, president trump said during his camp

i voted for barack obama twice, then i pivoted and voted for donald trump in 2016. contrasting his bravery against last night from hillary clinton is amazing to me that she is still stating there was intervention by another country that caused her to lose the election. someone from detroit and the barack obama coalition and voted for donald trump, it is for it iss like this i think doing things the american people need, putting this american people back to work. host: former president obama has issued a statement on the news today the u.s. will withdraw, saying simply put the private sector already chose a local future and to the nations that committed themselves to the paris agreement, opened the floodgates for scientists, carbonrs to unleash low investment and innovation on unprecedented scale. we will show you remarks from president obama in october when he announced the implementation. let's go to the democrats line in california. caller: hi, how's it going? host: good, thank you. caller: when i was watching scott pruitt congratulate him, i could not help but fe
