. >> i'm just following my own truth, and that truth has led me to barack obama. >> reporter: celebrities can also create momentum like oprah's endorsement of barack obama over hillary clinton and george clooney's op-ed encouraging president biden to leave the race. taylor swift, now potentially the most influential childless cat lady of 2024. >> and, lester, the swift effect already having an impact. that voter registration site that

i think we have to stop comparing her candidacy to barack obama, barack obama was a phenomenal and it was historic and amazing, there is wider. we don't have the data to say it is deeper. but i think the comparisons are because of the crowds and the enthusiasm and the history she makes but this is wider >> it is potentially bigger and more grand. it is not at all partisan. it is about fundamentally do you believe in the democracy and hard stop. i think they are beginning to lean in. we are not going back. i think, leaning into it. i agree with you. this is, again, i work for barack obama. this is touchy territory and we handle it, it is special. i think, it may have the potential to be, be something greater because of its, because of the reach of what you just said as a coalition that has bernie sanders and dick cheney in it. that never happened before. >> and i mean, just, let me geek out about it. do you cut an ad? if you are an eerie voter, and i spend a lot of time with them that vote barack obama, barack obama, trump, do you, do you, does it make the point that the harris/walz is

host: what scenario barack obama won this likely off the table for rural parts of the country. >> the hills of southern wisconsin. south county is one of the most swing counties in one of most swing states in the country. and you know counties like that, southwest wisconsin that will be quite difficult for the democrats to win. i think that county might actually continue to be one of the most swing counties causes a lot of people moving in their so it's remaining swing but a lot of southwestern's constant counties absolutely western and northwestern wisconsin counties but at one time could've been picked up by barack obama or picked up by others have really swung hard for republicans. entire third congressional district used to be held by ron kind in the la crosse area now held by derrick van orden and that whole district swung dramatically. that phone line -- host: holding aside that line for farmers, 202-748-8003. we would love to hear your farm storiesthis is gina in kentuckye for democrats. go ahead. caller: yes. i would like to ask you a question. how much local farmers are disad

today. barack obama is a king maker. the indorse be now mentally ill genocide, jo and images to college across the region. he has endorsed holocaust harris to 5 trump in november. joining me that from get in kenya is the brother of iraq, obama. he's the chairman of the brock h obama foundation, and also the big bad brother from kenya. malik obama not a cure in a call, as i can see when i canyon road side. so it could cut out no problem. you have a home? no. okay. um. so let me just ask you um your proof. read for your brother. you are at the is wedding to michelle obama today in many in dc. believe your brother who is endorsed kamala harris is pulling the strings in the mid least as it burns this region. billions are given away to the dictates of the lensky. why? if we take us back, have you always been suspicious about how he rose to become president as you lost touch and with but rock obama? your brother was being talked to well groomed, your most suggest? oh, when i met him, i really have an idea of his background. i

barack obama! [ cheers and applause ] >> oprah winfrey is stumping for barack obama. it's the first time she's ever endorsed a presidential candidates. >> let me tell you how much we love oprah winfrey. you realize her character and soul. you want oprah as vice president? more than 4500 episodes of her show, her message was always, you can. [ applause ] >> one of the biggest surprises of the night was oprah as in win friday. >> oprah endorsed camera harris. she spoke at the democratic national convention. >> values and character matter most of all. decency and respect are on the ballot in 2024. common sense tells you that kamala harris and tim walz can give us decency and respect. let us choose common sense over nonsense. let's all choose kamala harris! >> a lot of energy there. notice the themes. values, decency, common sense. those aren't ideological appealing, certainly not partisan, and her audience spans -- her hit show was watched, she built a following. she used a platform also to push people to open up their minds. she was open to reform. they even called it t

better than what barack obama got when he won.bit of what the earlier guests were talking about. small percentage of the white republicans that this is just too much for. you are seeing there is some erosion that is meaningful. >> and steele, before we go to break. what do you make of steve's argument? >> i agree with steve's argument. in fact, when joe biden handed this opportunity to the vise president, when the shift occurred i was on air saying that at the end of the day this election for the democrats will be bigger than barack obama. that what kamala harris has potential to do then which is now born out and certainly reflective in what steve just said. she could create a different coalition, one that was more than just a combination of barack obama and biden. meaning 2008 and 2020. but adding in new elements because what has happened in terms of issues is dobbs. abortion is in play. what that does draws in central right voters that would otherwise be aligned with the republican party falling away because of the heavy-handed

barack obama and the obama impression together.are with you. >>> but up next, kamala harris has been laying bait traps that are working against donald trump. why? we're going to get into that and why he seems to rattled. my breakdown is next. breakdownt n very long. that's why i love my swiffer wet. i pop on a pad and get a mop-like clean floor in just one swipe. wow! and for hair, try swiffer dry cloths. the fluffy cloths pick up hair like a magnet. swiffer. you'll love it or your money back. thursday night football on prime. it's on. welcome to thursday night football. the new england patriots take on the new york jets, as thursday night football is on. making the catch for the touchdown! it's aaron rodgers what a catch! up against a new era in new england. good show, you guys. stream thursday night football. only on prime. life with afib can mean a lifetime of blood thinners. and if you're troubled by falls and bleeds, worry follows you everywhere. ♪♪ over 400,000 people have left blood thinners behind with watchman. watchman is

so there's no evidence to suggest that uh khamal harris would be any anything different uh than barack obama under the obama administration uh there was a uh 2400% expansion. the 1033 program. what is that? in the us, there is department of defense, 10-33 program, they call it, which is the statue of of the department of defense, that allows for the transference of military grade equipment, surplus military grade equipment from the military to police forces across the country. that program expanded 2,400%. under barack obama, the us-africa command uh expanded 1,900%. that is the military footprint of the us on the african continent uh was expanded uh so there's no evidence to suggest that because harris is black or whatever there will be any greater sensitivity to these kinds of issues um these issues that we see - the impact minority communities, nationally oppressed communities are structural issues, they're not dependent on the psychology, the mentality of any individual who sits in the in the white house, there is a colonial relationship between the us settler state and the african-ameri

there is every reason to expect barack obama talks the talk but when he got into office he throughout homeowners. 8 million people lost their homes while he bailed out wall street with public dollars. so there is every indicator that it is going to be the same. she has not done a single interview, has not been in a single debate, has not won a single vote. she did poorly when she ran as a candidate over many years. we really encourage people do not drink the kool-aid here. do not listen to the talk. you have to look at what the walk has been. they walk by the democratic party has shipped millions of jobs overseas. 30 million american workers have lost jobs over the last several decades. some of that is republican policy, but a lot of it is the democrats. the wall street bailouts and the disaster around the mortgage failing of the banks and throwing out homeowners. host: if you would like to join the conversation with joel stein, you can do so. our lines are republicans (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. independents, (202) 748-8002. we have a line for green party members. call

things i didn't hear about barack obama. stuff i did not hear, you know when i read about bill clinton.

what do we know about exactly how her endorsement mattered for barack obama?e rule or is she the exception? mark: as far as what we know, she's the exception to the rule -- that's not to say that celebrities don't make a difference at all, it is just difficult to measure. however, in this specific case, we can demonstrate that oprah winfrey probably made the difference in maybe a million votes or so in the democratic primary in 2007, 2008, that brought barack obama to become the candidate. lisa: and we know that was a very close primary, that hillary clinton and bara obama went back and forth in the early days. how did she make a difference? was it just the fact that people admired her? mark: yes. i honestly think that has a lot to do with it. she has a certain amount of gravitas. she already had the so-called oprah effect where she could endorse a book and suddenly everybody is reading it. and so she really had that kind of unique, that unique credibility at that particular moment. lisa: you have said that celebrity endorsements really work when the endorseme

in march 2012, robinson wrote that he would prefer adolf hitler to barack obama. in his comments, he also used various insults in relation to homosexuals and transgender people. however, all this was a long time ago. robinson himself denies everything. another scandal of the pre-election races, allegedly hacking of donald

under biden and barack hussein obama -- has anyone ever heard of him? barack hussein, a lot of people say he is actually running the country right now. i don't think so. i don't think so. but some people say he is running our country. i don't think it is biden. under barack hussein obama, they took a lot, right?

, although i recognize the personality of barack obama, he is a great personality from the politicalew, what are you saying, so am i i understand why he was there twice president of the united states, i don't have any questions, i'm just talking about myself, so what, so why am i telling you about this in such detail, something the republicans have done that makes my three me three times in a row vote for candidates from another party, and not for the candidates i would like to see in office. president, i would say i would not like to see hilary clinton as president of the united states, i would just vote for her so that there would be no trump. i would vote for biden, sure, but i don't know if i would would i vote for kamelo garis if there was another republican candidate, such as some conventional mitch mcconnell or nikki haley? well, if you ask me, who does camelo harris or nicky haley want so much? well, i find nikki haley absolutely acceptable too. candidates, so when they nominate trump, they show me that they have abandoned their values, i am a person of values, why should i a

barack obama wasn't able to fully pivot to asia. couldn't, and president biden couldn't. they keep being dragged back to the middle east, and i think we have to say, so that our gaze is notjust western, because you began by asking how the world sees america. i think it is very clear that the gaza war is going to have long—term consequences for america's place in the world. they like to take a moral high ground that, "we are better than this. we are america." it's very hard now. and their critics are saying, "don't you dare, you know, get up on your pedestal." we've talked about the fact that for, you know, decades, really, the us was known as the global policeman, and it is perhaps pulling away from that role a bit. but what impact does that have for some of these global institutions like nato, like the united nations? what is your sense, james? look, i think the united states plays a key role in these organisations, but equally, they know that, you know, they can't always rely on the united states. let's take nato, for example. i t

you'll remember, justin, barack obama got secret service protection much, much earlier than a presidential would normally because there were more threats made against him, because he was the first black man who looked like he had a chance of becoming president. donald trump, for other reasons, you know, yeah, and i think this is the first time, actually, people have ever talked about giving full presidential levels of security to somebody who's a candidate or a former president. but you've got to look at the threat. you'll remember, justin, barack obama got secret service protection much, much earlier than a presidential candidate would normally because there were more threats made like he had a chance of becoming president. donald trump, for other reasons, you know, has a serious security threat against him. so, yeah, people are starting to ask questions about whether he deserves the full monty, so to speak. yeah, i mean, i rememberwith the obama years, i remember being really shocked. i was a bit naive, i suppose. i went into a coffee shop in south carolina during the primary when obama

he lied about barack obama not being a citizen. he has no integrity and no character and people are still going toward this guy. host: if integrity is your issue, how do you apply that to the vice president, assuming you are voting for her? caller: the vice president? you are talking about kamala harris? it is not even a comparison. it is no comparison. she is taking care of other kids, she has been a steady force. donald trump has been deceptive to his family, to the economy, to everyone around him. i will say this and get off the line. if you cannot handle something, if he cannot handle blood you cannot help a man bleed. he cannot handle the truth and handle losing and he is making a mess of everything he has touched. host: that is charles in maryland concerning the vice president. recent polling where she stands compared to former president trump, this from the hill saying vice president harris to not see a significant boost in support following the democratic national convention, maintaining a slight lead over former president

, although i recognize the personality of barack obama, he is a great personality from the point of view of political, what... to say, and i understand why he was the president of the united states twice, i have no questions, i'm just talking about myself, so what, so why am i telling you about it like this in detail, something the republicans have done that makes my three me vote for candidates from another party three times in a row, and not for candidates that i would like to see for president, let's say i would not like to see hillary clinton for president of the united states , i would just vote for her if there was no trump. i'd... vote for biden, sure, but i don't know if i 'd vote for camelo harris if there was another republican candidate, like some sort of mitch mcconnell, or nikki haley, if if they asked me who kalukharic or nikki haley is, well, i consider nikki haley to be an absolutely acceptable candidate, so when they nominate trump, they show me that they have abandoned their values, i am a person of values, why do i have principles.. . to agree with their reject

, while i recognize barack obama's personality is a big one personality from a political point of what can i say, and i understand why he was twice the president of the united states, i have no questions, i'm just talking about myself, so what, so why am i telling you about it in such detail. something the republicans have done that makes my three me three times in a row vote for candidates from another party, and not for candidates that i would like to see for president, i would say i would not like to see hillary clinton for president of the united states, just voted for her would that there was no trump. i'd vote for biden, sure, but i don't know if i 'd vote for kamelo garis if there was another republican candidate, some sort of mitch mcconnell. or nikki haley, if i were to be asked, who would you say, kamelo haris or nicky hailey? well, i consider nicky healy to be an absolutely acceptable candidate as well. so when they nominate trump, they show me that they have abandoned their values, i am a person of values, why should i fundamentally agree with their abandonment of valu

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

what happened there was, an incidence where after whatever barack obama called it, okay, fine, i don't want part of raising people's taxes we will do a two year extension and pushed out until the 2012, the 2012 election was good for barack obama and did not feel compelled to do the same. despite a bad night for republicans in 2020. in early 2013 they were able to get 90% of the bush tax credit, we were in the middle of it. at that point you have you had the threshold of whereby democrats were talking about the rich, 200,000, let's say. the interesting thing there was, i hear we are going to be in a similar position next year was if anybody remembers the idea of banner's plan b. an opportunity for republicans to pick the price point at which people tbecame rich and therefore should be paying higher taxes and there was an attitude among republicans and a function of grover pledge sort of discipline, they said we will not vote for anything that would raise taxes that would be a pledge violation, so, instead, fine, democrats picked a number and that ended up being $400,000. that was the to

back in 2008 i was one of the first people to endorse barack obama and as a result not because i was any good at going out and speaking are campaigning for him. everybody was on hillary clinton's side but i had the opportunity to be out there six, seven, eight or nine different states to campaign with him. we kept making the argument to david axelrod, and others you can win indiana. you can win this state and they would say initially no, you can't. they haven't voted for a democrat since 1964. he thinks there's a message that people be receptive to hear so finally they were able to convince the candidate and his advisers to spend time in indiana and he did a couple of things. number one he showed up. my parents always say show up. you've got to show up at work hard. he ended up winning indiana. secondly there were people who were angry and he would tell us afterward sometimes hey why did you do that? it was not fun getting screamed at and he said you've got to listen to allow that these folks that have a legitimate story about displacement and interruptions and alienation in america.

i spoke tojim messina, who ran barack obama's successful 2012 campaign this week.emocrats have come... just in the last even 2a hours, i'm looking at a text that i've just got from somebody this afternoon saying, "same swing states, same undecided voters, "same lack of clarity." there's been this kind of slight chill has set in now. maybe democrats are very nervous about being too exuberant and they see the polls, but it is striking, the degree to which people are asking the questions. i'm assuming, to the extent that, you know, you've been talking to voters, i think there's a realisation that she gave a good performance. but will that... i mean, some people are saying these set pieces don't make any difference when it comes to the polls. will that actually change any minds? and i think that seems to be the key question. it sounds like you're both hearing the same thing that i've been hearing that, yes, it was a good performance, but was it enough to persuade people that she had the policies to bring down the price of goods? i had a few republicans say to me as wel

they voted 2-to-1 for barack obama. they are 80 million strong. they identify after three party election cycles. they voted for john kerry and barack obama. >> very good. >> how do you look back on that time? >> you know, it's all blur to me. >> to reflect. >> over 20 years over at fox. i've been doing national analysis now for 27 years. what i always try to do is be consistent. i always challenge, you know me, i'm annoying. you, the reason i liked you as a guest, was you stood up to it. you came right back and said, okay, no, no, tea party this, tea party. that i was right about my prediction of obama winning and i knew that because i inrviewed him three times. he is one smart guy. he comes off in con fronting the presidents as a good president. >> before you left fox news because you mentioned obama, one of the leading conservative media figures to push back against the birtherism conspiracy. >> that's right. >> you were really clear and outspoken to the fringe voices on the right that president obama was born in the united states. you stood up

everybody knew john mccain was going to lose to barack obama. can you imagine if republicans went to john mccain and said, drop out of the race and we will replace you with someone who did not receive any votes? i've never seen anything like this in america. the supreme court eventually needs to come in and say this can't be done. four months outside of the race she didn't get a single vote. i feel biden was dropping out because he was sick or hurt, but because he was going to lose? imagine if every candidate around the country said, we are going to drop, just drop out of the race because it looks like we are going to lose the race, and we are going to replace, the powers that be in the republican and democratic party, are just going to replace them with someone who got zero votes. that's just crazy. host: harold mentioned the debate between obama and romney. we have that debate on c-span.org. you can look at that and all of the previous debates going back to 1976. melba in texas. caller: the gentleman ahead of me was spot on. i had not thought

barack obama and we mentioned mitt romney earlier that romney won that first debate that barack obama one in the fall. former president donald trump in 2016 he lost that first debate to hillary clinton but went on to win in the fall. the bottom line is yes last night was good news for kamala harris she won the debate in the minds of debate watchers and based upon history she jersey a polling bump but that is not sincerely mean she will in come november. >> there's a big difference whether or not there will be a second day. we heard former president donald trump again saying he doesn't think there needs to be one because he thinks he won decisively but that is not what the voters have said. >>[ music ] >> minutes after the debate, taylor swift announced in an instagram post that she has endorsed kamala harris and tim walz. she signed off as a childless cat lady a job at jd vance. let's get right to elizabeth with the details. what are we learning about how this happened and why it happened now. >> taylor does what she wants when she wants and clearly this was a huge moment for her to c

you remember after the first mccain debate, it was over because people looked at barack obama that heould be president . the other thing i would say is trump is the best counter punter i've ever seen in american politics, and he will try to throw you off your game. the only thing he can do is pull you down. continued to tell the american people what you're going to do to make their lives better. that is what she has done these first amazing seven weeks of the campaign. that's what she did in her democratic national convention speech. if we come out tomorrow night with that having been what she was able to do, i will be buying the neighborhood bar. >> watch out everyone at the neighborhood bar. it's always great to see you. thank you for sharing about the pac. pac. sleep more deeply and wake up rejuvenated. purple mattresses exclusive gel flex grid draws away heat, relieves pressure and instantly adapts. sleep better. live purple. right now, save up to $1,000 during our labor day sale. visit purple.com or a store near you. >>> a quick reminder. tomorrow night i'll be at the big table w

ended up barack obama won indiana for the first time since 1964. because he showed up, he was positive, he had some answers, he listened and he did the work with. so i, you know, i agree with both zack and jason. i think we are in an abyss right now. we're going to come out of it. america has been through these periods before. revolution and civil war and civil rights and vietnam. this is a tough period. this is a very challenging period for us. but i think at the heart of it, the soul of america we are going to come out of this and rebound, and it's already started. >> and i'll just tag on to this in this one way. georgia elected a republican governor and a democratic senator in it last election, right? that does a couple things. number one, it helps you say your election was fair, right? because there's nobody that's complaining. but raphael warnock, who's a good friend of mine was at my house two weeks ago. we have a lot of stuff going on in my my family, and he looked at me and said, you know, the most important thing is the ministry of presenc

can you imagine if jeremiah wright had gotten off barack obama's plane days after the sermons came out it because it would not have happened. it is shameful that republicans are not demanding of donald trump what quite frankly the nation demanded a barack obama in 2008. donald trump should be held accountable, he should be held to account for associating himself with this person. and if he doesn't want to come if he wants to rhetorically embrace her, do that. but republicans need to condemn him for what he is doing. it is harmful for his party but more damaging for the country. >> she has come under severe criticism from even marjorie taylor greene. and she said that she does not speak for donald trump or for the republican party. if donald trump believes that, he can say that but he hasn't. he has said that he disagreed with her statement presumably the racist one about curry which smells great, by the way. and what he didn't say was -- this is disgusting. he doesn't care about that. as long as she supports him, that makes her a good person in his eyes. amna: we heard that marjorie ta

did not like barack obama. economy, our economy is one of the strongest in the world coming out of covid and the stock market which i know lots of people on wall street really like, okay, it is at an all- time high and it continues to gain strength even in the face of rising interest rates which i have to say frankly it was about time that interest rates were risen because they were held low for 13 years and thank goodness they are allowed to be more -- >> yes, everybody is going to the punch bowl and having a great safety net. i know we don't have time. it does not have to be be labor or business: and good night to both of you when we come back -- or snobs and good night to both of you when we come back. we have to talk about one of the darkest mosts in history. still uniting us after 23 years. we will take a moment to pause, love and remember september 11 love and remember september 11 you know what's brilliant? boring. think about it. boring is the unsung catalyst for bold. what straps bold to a rocket and h

minute we did, barack obama had won. but i was ready to accept it either way.'d have a president. but i do sense some disappointment in you since. you've said things like, "you know what? we thought we'd got the hero into the white house and we thought we'd done our job, and maybe we celebrated too much and too early." oh, yeah. i don't know what we thought, but i know we didn't react to that fact. the fact was, a door was open and there should have had been a flood of energy through that door, to heighten our behaviour, to heighten our achievements. but you had the same amount of crime going on in the streets. you had the same amount of lethargy going on, in homes and in schools. that shocked me, because with that kind of door open, it should have created a draft, an energy that went toward what he represented. it wasn't him. it was us that won that presidency. and it was ourjob to make hay from it, you know? but why hasn't that happened, then? why hasn't that energy been maintained? oh, because we don't know how, i'm afraid... the idea of "let's set a hero up

can you imagine if jeremiah wright had gotten off of barack obama's plane days and weeks after thosens came out? you can't imagine it because it would not have happened and it did not happen. it is reprehensible and shameful that republicans are not demanding of donald trump what, quite frankly, the nation demanded of barack obama in 2008. he -- donald trump should be held accountable. he should made to -- he should be held to account for associating himself with this person. and if he doesn't want to, if he wants to embrace and literally rhetorically embrace her, then do that. but i think republicans need to step out and loudly condemn him for what he's doing. it's horrible for their party, but it's even more damaging for this country. amna: ramesh, what's your take on this? ponnuru: well, she has come under some pretty severe criticism from even marjorie taylor greene, who is herself a firebrand. and marjorie taylor greene said that loomer does not speak for trump, does not speak for maga, does not speak for the republican party. well, if trump believes that, he can say that, and h

lots has changed since your boss mitt romney kicked the butte of my boss barack obama. harris team is looking at those polls. they know that's an opportunity nearly 30% of voters. they know they need to be the clang candidacy. what's the goal of the night. what's her goal. >> looking back at the 2008 debates it's almost like watching silent era film. >> back and white. >> so much has changed and the debate dynamic has changed. the goal for harris has to be that, she got a little bit of a sugar high here in the last 60 days. people were really, we saw this pent up demand for somebody not named trump or biden to come into in race. she has gotten this opportunity to fill in the gaps for what the information flow is with her. the economy over all, inflation, housing, cost of child care. those are issues where she has to take an opportunity and say here is what we're going to do to chart a better course for the country on those big issues. ultimately, these debates, these elections come down to sort of fundamental questions. does this person understand the problems of people
