i wonder what barack obama thinks about that. e vice president would use it to run if he wants to. if he wanted to, president obama never gave him the public i'm with you if you're in. that kind of shut down the process there. if that affects his thinking and how to approach it in 2020 at all? >> well, there are certainly a lot of issues going on with vice president biden at that time, too, so who knows what the conversations were like behind the scenes but, of course, here we are again three years out from the next election and everyone is talking about will biden run? is he too old? is he going to run? that does get to the bigger problem of the democratic party, who is the leader of the democratic party? that is something democrats are trying to figure out. is it barack obama? is it bernie sanders? is it elizabeth warren? who is the leader and there is a risk. the idea being that the american public, the people, they may have moved forward. you might need to find and move forward. >> we want to show you this from this feature of

new tonight in an unfolding controversy involving president barack obama and president donald trump, e longtime obama advisor says tonight the former president did indeed take a shot at president trump during an interview with britain's prince prince harry. despite not naming the current president directly in the sit down. what's more, he's accusing the current commander-in-chief of using social media to "divide the american community, part of a plague on the entire conversation on the internet." the attacks mirror those from his former boss, barack obama, who seems to be breaking a recent tradition of former presidents not eviscerating their successors. moran joins us live tonight to lay out the firestorm that is playing out. good to see you. >> in that friendly interview former president obama said how people interact on social media today could splinter society. especially when used by leaders to divide. in a not-so-subtle reference to the current commander in chief's famous twitter use. >> one of the dangers of the internet is that people can have entirely different realities. the

the former us president barack obama has issued a warning about the irresponsible use of social mediabc by britain's prince harry mr obama said such actions were distorting people's understanding of complex issues. he did not mention donald trump, his successor, by name. but he emphasised that people in positions of leadership should exercise care when posting messages. our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell has the story. prince harry, first of all. you are very welcome to our studio. good morning. joining the today programme for the day had been a big learning curve, harry said, but he had enjoyed being the interviewer rather than the interviewed. it was quite fun, especially interviewing president obama. his principal scoop had been to persuade barack obama to give his first interview since standing down as us president. the word "trump" was never mentioned but may have been in mr obama's mind when he warned about the use of social media. all of us in leadership have to find ways in which we can recreate a common space on the internet. one of the dangers of the internet is that

barack obama is known as a very anti-brexit figure. think that is also going to loom large, actually, with regard to this overall debate. he also had a track record as u.s. president of not exactly being the strongest friend for great britain. his administration sided with argentina over the falklands. his track record when it comes to great britain isn't exactly stellar. >> jon: theresa may has had her own issues with president trump? >> certainly. there have been some disagreements between theresa may and president trump but overall i would say the special relationship is very, very strong. you do have a u.s. administration at this time that is very pro british, very pro brexit and i think that overall the relationship between washington and london is very, very powerful at this time. certainly the british government will be very keen to ensure that the u.s./u.k. special relationship continues to be extremely strong in the coming years. certainly this will be a very interesting debate that will take place in the u.k. in the coming mo

negatively obsessed with obama or less well-known than barack obama. >> that also hurts. >> painful. n, because the kay gallup asked this, most admired man and woman. hillary clinton up there. michelle obama behind her. behind her, oprah winfrey, elizabeth warren and angela merkel. you think about alabama where women and specifically african-american women were so key to changing the state red to blue. what does it say that so many of the women on this list, this question to both of you, seem to be of the left or center left persuasion? >> well, i mean, i think we'll find out what that means when the midterms roll around. you can set your watch right now to how long it takes for donald trump to start tweeting about this poll. because i agree with joy. i do think it drives him nuts and he is ranked below a woman he -- a woman he defeated in a presidential election. and the president he succeeded. this kind of stuff grates at him. and it's right where he lives. and he'll dismiss the polls as lacking credibility. he tends to cite polls that favor him as being more credible than those tha

she knew barack obama. i did not know barack obama. i know a lot of people.heard of barack obama. we met him spring of 2003. the rest is history. night atday, sunday 8:00 eastern on c-span. c-span cities tour talks -- here's atory tv recent program. >> my district is located in the capital region, northern hudson valley. it is an area rich in history and heritage. very much an inspiration to the westward movement, industrial revolution sparked by an erie canal, a waterway that was developed by then governor clinton. saratoga springs is a great tourism attraction. in native american expression, there were names applied to this place that spoke to the moving water, mineral waters that were seen as a source of healing.

also, strong words from former president barack obama invoking nazi germany as he warns about today's politics. also one thing he says what used to drive him nuts during his presidency. we have more on cnn coming back. ® lowers a1c, and now reduces cardiovascular risk. victoza® lowers my a1c and blood sugar better than the leading branded pill.

my friend, we were on the third floor and she said -- she knew barack obama, i did not know barack obamald washington, i know a lot of people and should call -- in chicago politics but i had not heard of a barack obama. spring of 2003. let me just say this, the rest is history. >> "q&a," sunday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span. this past year marked the centennial of u.s. entry into world war i. this monday on american history tv, we will show highlights of our coverage from the national world war i museum and memorial in kansas city, missouri. here is a preview. i'm president and ceo here at the national world war i museum and memorial. iss memorial and easy of such a striking image on the kansas city skyline. what a great story goes with that. it was in 1919, soon after the november 1918 armistice, that a group of business leaders gathered and said let's do something to honor kansas city and create a tribute for peace. what you see behind me is the outcome of that. fundraising campaign that lasted only two weeks, but raise more than $2.5 million. the equivalents of about $40 million. th

i remember in 2007 barack obama, you were saying barack obama was going to win.howard dean, 2003. and then i saw a new york times article in 2007 saying they were piling money into turnout operations. they were piling money into building a grass roots. i said uh-oh. this guy -- >> exactly. >> -- could win. when i herd the superpacs that had gone in for doug jones were spinning it on get out the vote operations, i did okay, wow. well, steve ban seasnon is righ there. they got out their votes. that's how you win elections. and for everybody that goes duh, guess what. most campaigns don't understand it. >> and alex, you told me about tv byes? >> jones was outspending 10 to 0 overall. and they got republican women out to vote who probably didn't need much incentive to vote against roy moore, but they got out the democratic votes, african americans, young people, moderates turned out, but they got republican votes as well. >> and mike, also, donald trump got out. republican votes against donald trump, and democratic votes. >> yeah. that's true. but to your point, joe

and with the presidency of barack obama.you are about to go to the presidency of barack obama with the relationship with the title of the book to see that as part of a familiar cycle. >> that was a great interruptio interruption. >> but when i look back it was premised on the same theory put your best face forward. to be scandal free don't be any of those things they associate negroes with. going down to the very presentation as a harvard law review to be educated, beautiful kids to be the antiracist stereotype but then they were met of good negro government. so to be this antiracist model of the antagonism so during those eight years people don't realize just how shocking this is. at end point you could have pulled the opposition party. literally not believing he was the president. so this could be presented with an actual person. >> but they don't believe in any factual way to be open to arguments you are a citizen of the united states but they believe it because they have to. so i saw that occurred again. >> and with that

floor and she said that she knew barack obama. i did not know barack obama. harolddanny davis and emanuel.n, rahm i knew a lot of people in chicago politics but i had not heard of barack obama. we met him that spring of 2003. let me say this -- the rest is history. night and 8:00 on c-span. >> earlier this month, the house administration committee met to consider new guidelines which considered each member and officer to complete a harassment prevention training program every session of congress. members of both sides of the aisle spoke in support of the measure. mr. harper: i call to order the committee on house administration for today's committee markup. a quorum is present so we may proceed. the meeting record will remain open for five legislative days so members may submit any materials they wish to be included therein. we are here today to formally approve a committee resolution issuing regulations requiring members, officers, employees, including interns, fellows, and detailees of the house of representatives to complete a training program on workforce

barack obama's twitter feed was not the president.t was so watered down that i didn't know what the president was thinking day in and day out. i knew what his communications team was. in this case, we're getting a taste of the president himself, and that's kind of a cool. >> dave, is that a fair statement? >> not necessarily. look, yes, it's the president direct to the american people. but i'm not sure that's necessarily always a good thing. let's remember, we've had an international crises when president trump got into twitter spats with the prime minister of the uk or the president of mexico or other world leaders. i think that's the challenge. there's no filter. there's no expert who is looking at these tweets before they go out to make sure hey, this isn't going to get us into some international mess with some of our allies or adversaries. >> as you speak about president obama, former president obama and not knowing what he thought, i want to put up this gallup poll. it would seem for the lack of knowledge for what he stood for, h

in the past week he had barack obama record robo calls for him. new jersey senator corey booker and in the funl hours nba great charles barkley everyone got involved. he knew he couldn't do this without the help of african americans and he got near unanimous support from them. more support than barack obama himself got in the 2008 or 2012 presidential elections. our exit polls show 38% of the eck e electorate was made up by african american voters and the other part of this too, you've got to mention, women. you could call it the mom effect. mothers of children under the age of 18, they voted for doug jones by a broad 35 percentage point. specifically he engaged white women who were college educated. you've also got to take into effect two contributing factors here. you cannot discount the republicans who voted for a democrat for the first time in their lives in this deeply conservative state that's been dependently red for so long and also the republicans who stayed home. the republicans who weren't comfortable voting for roy moore, but weren't c

we all know barack obama met michelle obama in the workplace.work out, sometimes they don't. but let's not act we don't live in a society where people work and meet each other all the time. >> so you think obviously we've been having this back and forth, you think everything is being conflated. a consensual relationship and someone being abused in a relationship, from harvey weinstein, you think they're all being lumped in one category. >> that's what they've attempted to do to me. i am not harvey weinstein. i don't want to prejudge him, but what i'm suggesting to you is i have never coerced, groped or exposed myself to anyone. the great sin is to have over 30 years a handful of consensual relationships. and we're going to start criminalizing people to have legitimate relationships as consentencing results, if that's the crime, then let's just say that. but don't drag me through the mud and then come back is and say we're going to continue the investigation. >> all the people when have lost their jobs, their livelihoods, would you do anything di

his approval rating on thursday was as high as barack obama's was at the same time in barack obama'sirst year. and that is after only 5% of positive media versus a love fest for barack obama. the media's approval rating at the same time is still at the rate of cockroaches or a little below that. so we know who has won this war. and i think the president can revel if that. him talking to to the "the new k times" puts a point own the end of that sentence and that's why they went nuts. they'll realized, wait a minute. he not only didn't resign, he's stronger, the ratings are good, we're not doing well. what went wrong and they're going to have to face it. gregg: he said in the interview of the mueller investigation, i think robert mueller will be fair but then he went on to emphasize how many times do i have to say it, i don't collude with the russians. what's your reaction to that? >> well, i think this is classic trump. he throws out all sorts of lines of attack or phrases and conflicting things and you just covered the backdoor shot at jeff sessions at the same time. it's multidimens

his principal scoop had been to persuade barack obama to give his first interview since standing downmentioned, but may have been in mr obama's mind when he warned about the irresponsible use of social media. how do we harness this technology in a way that allows a multiplicity of voices, allows a diversity of views, but does not lead to a balkanisation of our society but rather continues to promote ways of finding common ground? harry had also interviewed his father. the main focus had been on climate change — the issue prince charles has championed for decades and for which he was sometimes derided. maybe now, some years later, they're beginning to realise that what i was trying to say may not have been quite as dotty as they thought. but, i mean, the issue really that has to go on being focused on, big time, i think, is this one around the whole issue of climate change, which, you know, now, whether we like it or not, is the biggest threat multiplier we face. and then at the end of the programme, it was time to face questions, rather than to ask them. first about his fiancee, megha

but it is not surprising for barack obama, who has been effectively downsized. he wants to be relevant, as it barack obama having fun, talking to prince harry. he is changing world. so we need to look at this more in an entertainment framework. the ex-president, barack obama, always like to television and being honest and having some fun in that regard. so perhaps, this is his way of attempting to feel relevant, so i think that we have got our own dynamic here that is much more interesting and much more relevant. >> jon: they are friends, emily, talk about dealing with a friendly reporter. prince henry harry and barack a are friends. >> i would have not expected him to deliver a particularly hard-hitting interview. i thought it was interesting that he did not name call, which it seemed to echo his wife's words. she never called out of president trump. that has been their style since he has been running. he just seem to continue it with his interview with harry. it was a softball interview. >> jon: all right, emily scheier, tammy bruce. we will have you both back

how many people did barack obama have charged with a crime? zero. how many people were indicted when barack obama was president of the united states? zero. how many people pled guilty to a crime? zero. the fact is, anybody can come on tv and tout the president and tout his ethics and tout his morals and everything else. but he's had four individuals, four individuals, two of which have actually already pled guilty. one of which was his national security adviser. they have pled guilty to crimes. and the national security adviser has pled guilty to a crime while he was in the white house. and paul manafort, who's been indicted was the chairman of the president's campaign. those are facts. and if christopher ruddy wants to come on here and say this has nothing to do with the president, this has nothing to do with the president while he was running for office or while he's been in the white house, then he's a bald-faced liar. the fact is, we are still investigating a meeting that happened with the president's son, donald trump jr., and people are asking

guest: i wrote the book, "the faith of barack obama," and i thought the claim that he was a closet muslim and all of these assumptions about his closeted cash -- he reached out to the muslim world and seemed to be ever apologizing and ever reaching to what americans considered our enemies. the fact that he was apologizing to the u.s. and attempting to bolster the world, i think that comes not from the fact that he is a closeted muslim but from his religious liberalism, that he sees islam is equal to christian. many americans do not see it as an equally valid religion and are surprised when the president makes that case. host: a treat -- tweet from skeets -- i am sorry all of you do not appreciate that mr. trump is making america great again. sort of theis the bottom line for people who support trump. we can put up with his divorces, has language, we do not mind if he threatens a protester or two, especially if they have darker skin, we do not care if he is raw or engages in petty twitter wars. and we haveis great a conservative on the supreme court and he is making america great. that mes

. 30% turnout of black voters, which was higher than under barack obama.er races, they have a path to victory. what is the future of steve bannon? he has been waging this war on the establishment republican party. a big supporter of moore. and persuaded donald trump to back him. can the republican party cut him off or will he be allowed to continue to field these toxic candidates in republican primaries that end up in the election not able to win and not able to secure the votes from swing voters? that is the battle. do they neutralise steve bannanon and his war, or does he still gain the upper hand? we have a repeat of the tea party battle in 2010. suzanne, what was your view? i agree with a lot of that. this could be a turning point for donald trump. if you look at the figures, suburban districts that voted for trump in 2016 flipped and voted for doug jones. there was also a very important election in virginia last month. same thing happened. it was a strong african—american vote. and a strong suburban vote. you could say roy moore is such a flawed candi

how does it differ from barack obama's world view which you knew so much about? that obama people like to hear. there is a continuity, continuum on the foreign policy spectrum between barack obama and donald trump. donald trump represents, obviously, a divisive stylistic break but, remember, this barack obama is the guy who talked about a more modest, realistic, limited foreign policy. he is a guy who talked about getting allies to pay their fair share, talked about nato, britain and france and what they didn't do in libya. again, it's stylistic. there's component of this, of course, which is that barack obama might have rejected certain as he can'ts of an america greatness doctrine, which is to say they play a positive role in the world. donald trump doesn't even speak in that kind of language. >> right. >> but there's not a huge break. donald trump was -- barack obama was taking american foreign policy and making it more modest and self interested in one kind of way. >> but, you know, jeffrey, you bring up a very fascinating point that we now have presidents ov

i mean, you had barack obama doing a robocall at the last minute.ent in in october i believe and you had john lewis and cory booker down there, but they were tip toeing because they didn't want to alienate those suburban republican women who might cross over. they didn't want to alienate any potential moderate republicans. >> when he went down there, were you wearing a disguise? >> i drove in in the cover of darkness. briefly, the way it's done is you take a candidate like doug jones who knows the black community and knows the base, but they don't know he's talking about issues that affect alabamans. he's talking about rural hospitals, schools. >> we've got to take a break. we're following every vote as this critical senate rate is decided. standing by for results. we'll be back in just a moment. together, y great things come in twos. right now when you buy any of this season's hot new samsung galaxy phones, you get a second one free to gift. that's one samsung for you. one to give. t-mobile. holiday twogether. this this this is my body of proof. pr

president behind closed doors is once again questioning the authenticity of former president barack obama'sificate. cnn also learning that he thinks he would have done better in the election had he never acknowledged that president obama was born in the united states, which if you remember the president turned a september press conference into an info mirror shall about his new hotel and minutes before talking after stage said these ten words. >> president barack obama was born in the united states, period. >> yeah, that is definitely a step backward from where he started his political career as a birther and apparently that's now something the president is questioning once again, along with the infamous "access hollywood" tape. the "times" also reporting that he's telling multiple people in his inner circle that it wasn't his voice on the tape even though it was because the president said so himself and apologized for it. >> i said it, i was wrong, and i apologize. >> joining us is cnn presidential historian douglas brinkley. doug, is anything that you heard over the last few weeks changed

night. >> and briefly, what does it tell you that the turnout was even higher than it was for barack obama just s that, you know, just because obama is not on the ballot does not mean that african-americans won't be inspired to vote. so i think we can set that myth aside. that myth is over now. we know that african-americans can turn out to vote, and especially if you make us mad. so voter suppression, having an over-racist like moore on the ballot, these are things that inspire folks. unfortunately, given the direction of the republican party i don't think it is going to be the last time we're going to be so inspired. >> you heard it here, some news on that. congresswoman karen bass, thank you so much. >> thanks for having me on. >>> up next as promised, my special report on where alabama takes the country from here. it's what's inside the person who opens it. ♪ give ancestrydna, the only dna test that can trace your origins to over 150 ethnic regions- and open up a world of possibilities. ♪ save 30% for the holidays at ancestrydna.com when you have a cold, stuff happens. ♪ { sneezing ] s

his principal scoop had been to persuade barack obama to give his first interview since standing downay have been in mr obama's mind when he warned about the use of social media. all of us in leadership have to find ways in which we can recreate a common space on the internet. one of the dangers of the internet is that people can have entirely different realities. they can be just cocooned in the information that reinforces their current biases. harry had also interviewed his father — the main focus had been on climate change. the issue prince charles has championed for decades and for which he was sometimes derided. maybe now, some years later, they are beginning to realise that what i was trying to say may not have been quite as dotty as they thought. i mean, the issue really that has to go on being focused on, big time, i think, is this one around the whole issue of climate change which now, whether we like it or not, is the biggest threat multiplier we face. and then, at the end of the programme, it was time to face questions rather than ask them. first about his fiancee, meghan m
