barack obama and i have a relatively long history. met him when my kids were five and seven years old. their basketball coach at the lincoln belmont 'y' was michelle robinson's brother, craig robinson. i met barack and michelle when he was a state senator and i think she was working at the university of chicago. i had known them for a long time. i knew what terrific individuals they were. when barack decided he was going to run for the presidency, he contacted me in 2006 and said, would you help me? would you become my national finance chair? would you raise the money for me to run for president? i thought this was a crazy idea. i had never raised money on a national level for a presidential campaign. i had no idea how anyone did that. he said, no, no, i want you to do this role. and i did, but i really almost said no. what happened was i was sitting, talking to my husband after the evening that barack had asked me. he said to me, this is destiny knocking on the door of our nation and you've got to find a way to help. so, that led me

failures of reagan's views, setting the stage for president obama, state senator and later president barack obama to say with a slight change in our perspective, we can help every american achieve the american dream. notice in terms of values, very little difference between fdr and reagan and obama. it's narrative and ideology where they're different. ideology, more, and less government in narrative, individualistic version of the american dream versus a community oriented version of the american dream. at the end of obama's presidency in the 2016, the nation took a sharp turn away from either of the ideas of barack obama or the ideas of president reagan, to a world of views that i've written about with dangerous others and exercises grievance and it's the antithesis of the world views that president reagan talked about throughout his presidency and the great question in american politics today for conservatives is, will the continued right forward movement be the national populism with the heroic leader of president trump or will it be back to the small government conservativism of ronald reagan

the cia knew it was a hoax and barack obama knew it was a hoax. everybody knew it was a hoax the whole time but they acted like it was real cia knew hillary started the russia collusion story and went in and told barack obama all about it she was trying to link trump to russia to get attention off email scandal. we thought that hillary got the russians to make the story up. it turns out hillary's guy made up the pee pee tape lie. and then they just pin it on a russian. the democratic national committee had this guy, charles dolan, he goes to russia. checks into the ritz carlton and asks for a tour of the presidential suite. and then the golden shower story drops. nobody at the ritz carlton told him this. not the bellman, not the cleaning ladies, not the manager. maybe he got so drunk on vodka he forgot it actually happened to him. so the pee pee tape was hillary team's idea. what else did we find out from durham? we found out the fbi shut down two investigations into the clintons, two separate fbi field offices said wait a second, clinton foundati

in the 2008 campaign, then senator barack obama irritated the clinton campaign massively when he noticedgan changed the trajectory of america in a way bill clinton did not. he irritated the clinton campaign most of all because it was clear obama was white, reagan changed things in a way that later democratic presidents before obama did not. what was it about reagan that changed things? more than anything else it was the force of his rhetoric, great historian said of reagan above all, supporters what reagan did for supporters and democrats and disgraced republican establishment a compelling way to comprehend disoriented dispiriting trends of the 19. i have laid out the importance of reagan ideas and importance of speech but there are two things about this. the first is while reagan defended small government conservatism consistently, the ideas were never particularly popular. even before he was elected, let me give you what the government wanted. the only before a lit reagan was elected before he was elected in 1980 o, he said the percentage f the people without the government wasth spend

this attack is a meeting between barack obama and the merka angels.at the bars of pam and angela merkel, in contrast to e from other presidents had the best possible relationship. and, of course, it's no wonder they've gathered. an italian restaurant to eat fish with asparagus and talk about something, the only question is that the conversation - it lasted four hours 4 hours, there are no private evenings, uh, leaders of this level, and there is every reason to believe that the visit of barack obama, who is officially timed to coincide with the coronation of charles iii and who makes a tour of european countries, and it was on this day in germany that it was not by chance. well, here it is indirect evidence will not waste time citing them now, but the main task of the barakama was supposed to be through angela merkel to transmit to olaf schultz and, accordingly, to them the fear of defending the militia of history. and the idea that there are no hasty decisions in connection with the shelling in the kremlin, it should not be done. that is, i'm guessin

barack obama and angela merkel, the press often wrote about the rapprochement between the us and germany on many issues. while both were in power. obama even once called germany the main ally of the united states in europe. after the resignation, they have already held several meetings of the same non-formal. rusal started the construction of the third power unit there. in egypt , the ceremony of pouring the first concrete on the foundation slab of the power unit was held at the construction site. this is a grandmother. this is the first nuclear power plant in egypt , it is being built 300 km from cairo, all the details in the report of dmitry kimono the first concrete went the third power unit receives support the moment is largely symbolic and extremely important new stage in the construction of the first nuclear power plant in egypt stations that, in strict accordance with the plan, are being implemented by russian engineers predictably, but everything is moving in a certain sense, we even form an e reserve e, temporary ahead of the construction time all e. our task of placing orders

if you look at history, you see john mccain, barack obama...ly frontrunners and fizzled out, and came back in. it's not over for desantis. he has a lot of time to prove the voters that he is the right person for the gop nomination. i don't think it's over yet. a quick response from you, francis. do you think he can close the gap? i would agree with debbie. with ron, you get the same conservative thinking and i policies without the baggage. what about you, debbie? who do you think potentially could catch up with trump? honestly, the entire field of republican candidates are all extreme. they all subscribe to the same policies that would crack down on diversity and education, that would go backwards when it comes to trying to make sure that we can save social security and medicare, and preserve it as a safety net for our seniors. in florida, that's a huge deal. ron desantis took the position that it is private... turn medicare into a voucher system. the whole field has really walked on that kind of extremism, so i don't know if it matters who the

the new deal as the solution to ronald reagan in 1981 and then to barack obama in 2000 date respondingat. it is because of the importance of the ideas enunciated in this speech that there are two different books about the reagan administration at reagan's time. one by a very conservative scholar and one by a very liberal scholar that has the age of' reagan and their title. simply no question that beginning in 1980, there is an argument that reagan had begun to get these ideas across as a nation before 1980. what reagan said in this inaugural address changed american politics and moved it in a different direction until obama and then again intel trump tookpe a very different perspective. so, for example, writing in 2006, new york calls a hundred columnists conservative argued that the view that less government equals more freedom, government is the problem organizing principle of the day. writing for the new republican talking about how reagan ideas came unassailable dominant in politics. for nearly a generation. so, we know that this speech is incredibly important. because it was a fou

the idea that barack obama d didn't know anything was incom incomprehensible.were leaking into the newspaper, barack obama had to do when his fbi and difdepartment of justice were doing, no. >> yes, john brennan told barack obama in a meeting in a cia briefing that hillary clinton's campaign was using opposition on substanceiated research against donald trump. he knew about it really damning report if you look at our directors of the fbi, robert mueller said under oath he didn't know what the fusion gps research firm was, or did he have any information or think of steel dossier, the twin catalysts for his own special investigation, and james comey is the person behind this. he o orchestrated this, but when he was called in, to house intelligence committee he said 245 times under oath, he had no idea. we go to third fbi director, andrew mccabe, h he lied on 4 occasions to federal investigators, just about the leak that you were talking about leaking information that fbi was not interested in clinton foundation, they had reason to be and three of those times he w

senator john mccain had called senator barack obama to concede the race, and as he began to deliver his concession speech before a crowd in phoenix, arizona, this happened. >> a little while ago i had the honor of calling senator barack obama to congratulate him -- please. to congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country we both love. >> john mccain gently but firmly admonishing the crowd of republicans for booing the election of our nation's first black president. at the time this was seen as an important moment. it wasn't as though statesmanship was exactly the norm in the republican party. it was sort of the opposite actually. remember that john mccain's running mate was sarah palin who was a proponent of birtherism, that conspiracy theory, that unfounded racist fear mongering that undermining the foundingf our nation's first black president, that turned historians against barack obama, that you can probably hear in the booing senator mccain tried to hush that night. mccain did this at a time republican presidential campaigns still actually conceded elections. a

your thought on a name brooke mentioned in her piece, president barack obama. all of this got started while he was president. you haven't heard a lot about his culpability in all of this, nevertheless, the fbi and all that stuff happened while he was president. should he face consequences or scrutiny for what he was responsible for in terms of leading this to happen? >> absolutely you should. you see former president donald trump being dragged in front of judges and juries and woke left-wing prosecutors in concern jurisdictions after his term in office and i think barack obama should face the same consequences. if dc is not doing it, the issue should be forced and looking at the clinton and obama family and the biden family, there is great exposure, like in a,,a, arkansas is a deep red state. fight fire with fire. until consequences, left, media, dc has no incentive to change. when they take our government to this level, this is way worse than watergate ever was thchl is watergate on steroids, if they do not face consequences, it will get worse. >> ashley: the

[applause] [cheering] the first black man elected president of the united states. i was there to join him on the way to the historic inauguration inin washington. a moment of extraordinary hope but also as i stood there and this is the truth i couldn't help but think about another day that i d stood there. it wasn't more than your age i'd just gotten out of law school, gone to work for a big firm for my state. doctor king was assassinated and my city was burned to the ground, there were drawn bayonets for 10 miles. [inaudible] they were arrested on each side following the assassination. a 2009 while waiting for barack obama i saw living history at the same time i was reliving it. a vivid demonstration when it comes to race in america, hope doesn't travel alone. it's shadowed by fear, by violence and hate. the election i had hoped the fear of violence and hate after no longer being vice president i became a professor at the university off pennsylvania but 2017 in charlottesville virgin

"i count on discussing the practical implementation of the decision at the g7 summit in hiroshima". that is what he tweeted. president zelensky is due tojoin the g7 group in hiroshima in the coming days, where its expected he'll address leaders, and hold

>> well, barack obama in 2008 is an agreement with 80% of the american people today. are worried about california state budget, wait until i talk to you about the federal budget. [laughter] i mean, the idea of adding to this will be a total nonstarter with massive super majority of the american people. so, if you're willing to make an argument on guns, hey, we've got massive super majorities that want to do something, why are we doing it? we've got massive super majorities that don't want to do this. so, i'm curious about your thoughts on the political reality on moving on this. but all that having been said, to most people, it's going to sound like a blatantly unconstitutional redistribution from one group of people to a another group based purely on race -- >> like slavery. which is exactly what slavery was for this country. >> which is the deficit, i think, is the most important. it is not the state deficit, not the federal deficit, if the knowledge deficit. people don't know. people really don't know that wall street is built on the backs of black people. they gen

barack obama, senator obama voted against the bill that richard is referring to.2008, when he was elected president and he had a super majority of 60, enough to not have a filibuster in the senate, he promised, and alex will tell you this, immigration reform as a priority. in his first two years when he had super majorities, he elected not to do that. he focused on health care and later mentioned and agreed on spanish television, which i do, that, yes, he broke his promise. so if anybody doesn't want the reforms, he referred to senator graham, to senator rubio, to senator mccain who i worked for, all of these individuals were pushing immigration reform. that is the reality. we are for a pro-immigration party. pro-legal immigration. lastly, to alex's point, the fact of the matter is, she's right, there are cases where if your nationality, you're persecuted for this if you're persecuted because you're a member of a minority group, gay rights and so forth, these people are entitled to an asylum hearing. but there are two things that the viewers need to understand. fi

the special counsel uncovering that both barack obama and joe biden knew about hillary's dirty deeds. they got briefed on her shady scheme to link trump to russia, but still pushed the collusion hoax anyway. shameful. so now the crooked investigators are running for cover. >> what you have with john durham is look, it is a big fat nothing. >> this is a predictable, sadde ending to an investigation that never should have taken place. >> i disagree with mr. durham's characterizations of what we did in the report and it is very simple. he betrays a deep misunderstanding of not only what we knew at the time but how we make these decisions. >> jeanine: okay. so jesse, start with you. so hillary clinton puts together the deal, pays for the dossier. the dossier, she is getting fined, she uses it as a legal expense instead of a campaign contribution. she started this whole thing. and barack obama, joe biden knew about it, and the media on the left is saying that this is all a conspiracy, and it is a waste of money. >> jesse: no wonder you didn't put anybody in prison, you would have to put th

policies of barack obama. i believed that it then and i believe it now. as a look back to see some of the battles as claimed. the threats to freedom much more profound today. there much more pervasive. the democrats are able to sweep in 2024, they keep the white house, again in the senate and take back the house, they would try to pack the u.s. supreme court. go try to eliminate the electoral college. there were try to make washington, d.c. estate and eliminate -- a state and eliminate voter id. that is not an internet that appeals to us but i think effectively -- an idea that process as republicans. that is an agenda of the left wing movement in this country that wants to make the conservative half of the country second-class citizens. what to call the shah's and they did not want us to have a voice in this government. they will have profound applications for us our kids and our grandkids. the hope is both florida and iowa show strong leadership in a bold agenda can defeat the left in the country. there is no

the amazing thing is you have to wonder how did barack obama get elected twice? i guess those white women when they see a black person who is qualified, they clearly elected barack obama -- it didn't happen without white women. right there is the failure of her whole theory. the think about the left is they are so hate filled. desantis is a mussolini? government censored media is what joy reid says, government censored media is when the fbi meets with twitter and says don't you dare put anything in there about that russian disinformation at hunter biden laptop. they are so dug in on hating what they created, it all started with hillary clinton and the basket of deplorable spirit h.maga is a connotation. but they aren't using hitler anymore, it's mussolini. >> jesse: do you think ron desantis is more or less dangerous than donald trump? >> i don't think of him in that frame, i agree with you i was little concerned about the language that she used around that, my wife is at home rooting for me. i would say couple things about ron desantis. he has not presented well

i had known barack obama for four years just as a human being. and so, you know, before i took the job, i said him, i got to have total access. unfettered access. i can't kept out of anything. and he agreed. well, how did you were the chief photographer for obama and just any photographer during reagan? two different roles but compare two experiences. the men president, the white house itself and the comparison of the role for you. you know a of similarities in the way the white house worked between the two you know things didn't you know i mean i knew how the how the white house worked the logistics of it and it like almost identical with with obama you know just the way the paperwork flowed you know, the way the motorcades work way air force one worked, you know, manifests, knew all that stuff. and that stayed pretty much the same. obviously, technology had changed a huge amount. the logistics were of kind of the same. here's here's the one thing that the two presidents had in common is they both had this even keeled disposition where, you know

he had a great personality just like barack obama. i met both of them. could have dinner with him and we could laugh and tell jokes into other things, and that is one of the key gifts of a politician. and by the way, clinton was the last president to actually have a balanced budget. most people do not know that, which is pretty amazing, and he engaged with newt gingrich in welfare reform, which was our tremendous thing. the left screamed and yelled that they would starve in the streets. they got off welfare, which you become a drug for them, so that kind of stuff is disappeared as well. kevin mccarthy was to talk to president biden about the debt limit and other things, and this is what is needed. whether they will have an honest conversation that actually produces results we will soon know. host: it took a government shutdown for them to reach an agreement. guest: this is been going on for years. the government will not shut down. the cameras go out to the national parks and to put out the closed sign and they will find somebody who did not get a certai
