for barack obama. what you just said he has this ability reset the conversation and you have seen him do that time and time again back in that 2007, 2008 race. attacks. i will take that. an incredible ability do that. i will for a second talk about michelle obama. with the clip that you played. that part of the cop vens, she made a point that is -- convention she made a point. there will be a lull. there will be a moment where there will be some republican talking point that start to seep in. i see even on my feed more and more tweets by african americans and concerning and i don't know if elon his has finger on the button. i am starting to see that more. if i am seeing it, it means there is a lot seeping in. at this moment that michelle obama was talking about, ignore it. her point was if you don't get that phone call, the campaign may not knock on your door. understand she is doing something in a short period of time that most people have two years to do. she is building a campaign, an operation with

you weren't old enough to vote for barack obama and you can be 30, 31 years old. i think the obamas are out there to bring in gen x, to bring in millennials. the reason for this, they don't have their person. aoc has become very much part of their system. the harris campaign has to do a really good job of speaking to young people directly. i don't know that they have done that. that's one of the things that has been a criticism of the campaign. i think the obamas hit a much older crowd. if i talk to my students, 21, 22 years old, they know who barack obama is, there's a picture of him, but there's not someone who motivates them like, let's say, a younger politician. somebody else probably moves them a bit more than barack obama. >> i know the exact picture of the obamas that you are referencing. >> i have no idea what you're talking about. >> we'll send you the photo later. >> it's a christmas photo. everyone has it. >> there is a question of masculinity that has woven through this race just in the last few weeks. donald trump calling white men who are voting for h

him continually saying that he beat barack obama, and confusing barack obama and joe biden.he list just go on. >> and now dangerous. whether it's age or something more nefarious, he is talking about paying the democrats were trying to kill him. >> again, everything does seem to be amped up and unhinged. here's a question, peter. we have been talking about this for quite some time, the donald trump has broken all norms of political rhetoric. i have been talking about charles and how radically different donald trump is from charles krauthammer and how different he is from the 240 years of conservatism before he came on the scene. so i am curious, because even in 2017, charles krauthammer was saying that donald trump is basically unhinged and acting like an 11-year-old. so you have looked at the speeches. sorry for the long windup, but it's important so people don't say peter is just saying what they have all said for years. you looked at the speeches through the years. you actually see him regressing? you see a difference between the danger and just the maniacal rantings today

the plan of sending barack ob obama, is working anymore?calls them to publish the way of rich white the project does. >> his neighborhood and he's like adidas, what is the problem? >> opportunity for black men and that's not insulting and force to clarify the next day the black opportunity agenda was for all americans and federal law forbids doing things based on race. less than 24 hours after his him about. and indian giver. [laughter] you to identify as a woman of color. [laughter] is there anything funnier that the democrats had a monopoly on the black vote for 60 years and they are forced to admit they have no deliverables? >> realizing identity politics not enough to draw them across the finish line, it's barack obama, joe biden saying you're not black if you don't vote for him, they are trying to say i will revoke your placard as i see fit must the most demeaning insulting think a party can do. >> especially when they say revoke the black carpet they don't have a government id card. [laughter] >> kamala said a lot of people in rural a

and we all know that the sequel is usually worse. >> today was announced that former president barack obamat the campaign trail for vice president harris and governor walz across battleground states beginning with the campaign stop next thursday in pittsburgh. as "the new york times" put it, president obama is, quote, joining the final push to deliver vice president harris a victory, starting with perhaps the most consequential battleground state of the election, pennsylvania. and adding to his singular star power, a coalition alongside patriots of every political strive, the likes of which the country has never witnessed in the context of a political campaign. we should say vice president harris is in michigan today. earlier she spoke to a labor union in detroit, a short time from now vice president harris will deliver a campaign speech in flint, michigan, where she will be joined by basketball legend and michigan native magic johnson. another spoke in the ever broadening and growing harris/walz coalition. it's where we start today with my colleagues yamiche alcindor in flint, michigan, ah

barack obama, supporter of the obama writer for barack obama, supporter of the obama overlook and whatr to persuade people. does kamala harris have that star power to take her over the line? she being focused enough in what she says? i being focused enough in what she says?— she says? i will always say that barack _ she says? i will always say that barack obama - she says? i will always say that barack obama was i she says? i will always say| that barack obama was the she says? i will always say i that barack obama was the best speaker ever. i think most speech writers are partial to the president the road for, i am sure and ekka would say the same thing about george w bush. what you have seen from kamala harris that is important, and i should say this when i was writing speeches, residents, candidates, they can tell you what you thing about commenta phuket what harris said last night, that was very good example of a president a candidate telling what you thing about —— they can tell you what you think about. the last time trump had power, january 6... trump wants to be a petty tyrant

you can see with barack obama.he whole thing with bra rock and michelle is try to disappear the harris biden administration. try to make everybody forget that harris is vice-president of the united states and has been for years, and her record is appalling. this is all an attempt to change the subject and laura it's just not going to work because her record is what it is, 15 million illegals or more crime like we've never seen in this country inflation we haven't seen in 40 years. that's kamala's records those are the facts everybody knows it that's why she's losing >> laura: back to my point here is that barack obama is the one who ushered in the era of trump. it was obamacare, it was all the spending, it was -- moved to the left on the social issues. so the tea party was about spending but then the populist sensibility of the republican party really took off. so he's responsible for it but now he's going to save the party from trump? he delivered trump. >> yeah, you know, obama created the democrat party as corpo

hiring staff that used to work for barack obama and obama single-handedly in my view with the aid of washington will have armed iran with nuclear weapons and less netanyahu and the state of israel put an end to it. the fact they are campaigning together reveals a whole lot about the radicalism, doesn't it? >> barack obama and his team have bulldozed path and power over the years is go back down memory lane. remember october of 2010 barack obama was campaigning with kamala harris to be the attorney general. and deep blue california is about to lose eight midterm it would be like donald trump going to campaign for the attorney general of alabama in october of 2018 but i understand the care for their attorney general's art that's usually not a priority for the president but barack obama from the beginning along with his political machine has wanted to elevate kamala harris and american politics. she takes her cues from barack obama's team the same team that negotiated the terrible iran nuclear deal were advising her, working for her and the vice president's office you are right she is v

maybe barack obama handing over a great economy to donald trump. >> i know.d hog's day. kn. it's like ground hog's day. and then donald trump -- sell it, democrats, so it. michelle and faiz, thank you both for your time. when we come back, the inside story behind the trump administration's child separation policy and how it is being used on the campaign trail. next. n the campaign trail. next. >> the immigration goddess. they took us to this place then told us that we are all going to be separated and then we started to cry. >> i don't want this to happen to other kids, and it's sad to see if it's going to happen again. >> the harris campaign earlier this month highlighted the stories of two brothers who were among the more than 5500 children forcibly separated from their families during the trump administration. today, nearly 1000 of those children have yet to be reunited with their families. donald trump is vowed to pursue even more extreme immigration policies if he is re-elected in just 12 days. joining me now is jacob so rough, nbc news correspondent and

that is where barack obama was appearing with kamala harris with the campaign should this is barack obamabout a minute and a half from yesterday. >> when donald trump lies or cheats or shows utter disregard for our constitution, when he calls pows losers or fellow citizens vermin, people make excuses for it. they think it is ok. they think at least he is owning the libs. he is sticking it to them. it is ok as long as our side wins. and by the way, i'm sorry, gentlemen. i have noticed this especially with some men. who seem to think trump's behavior of bullying and putting people down is a sign of strength. i am here to tell you that is not what real strength is. it never has been. [applause] real strength is about working hard and carrying a heavy load without complaining. real strength is about taking responsibility for your actions and telling the truth even when it is inconvenient. real strength is about helping people who need it and standing up for those who cannot always stand up for themselves. that is what we should want for our daughters and for our sons and that is what i want t

. >> i'm sorry, one more time. >> barack obama.. but he is going places. he made a really effective close to a speech where he was basically taking on trump for all this disinformation. talked about the human toll and cost of this disinformation about hurricanes and the absolutely shameless and amoral approach that trump takes the politics and at the end he brought it down to the masculinity. he give a message specifically to men and said this is not manhood. he said this is not real strength. it is not putting people down or bullying or just lying or being super triggered on the debate stage, you know? it is actually being thoughtful, being calm and being kind and being compassionate and i think that is a message that young men need to hear and men generally and actually kamala harris is the one that exudes more of that strength. >> all right, i know you have a great one. >> ethel kennedy, the late ethel kennedy who died this week. when i was a young man, one of these young men that we are talking so much about, i met the kennedy'

plus a seemingly taped conversation between barack obama and joe biden goes viral. hmm.hat were they talking about. was it kamala? i retouched all my wedding photos, and it was even affecting my health. i trusted you because you specialize in dental implants. you created a permanent solution and customized my teeth so it still felt like me. my new teeth have improved my life and changed my future. - thank you. - you're so welcome. finance the smile you want for as low as one forty eight a month per arch. schedule a free consultation. from the first day of kindergarten through the day they graduate high school, in california, 38% of students attend a public school that fails to meet minimum health standards. prop 2 will fund urgent repairs at local schools. protect kids from toxic mold and asbestos. ensure clean water. and to fix what's actually broken, all public funds go to local schools. without raising taxes. yes on 2. all kids deserve a safe place to learn. >> who was that. >> mary katherine. >> tell me something, i'm giving a speech thoughts about what i might say t

(gentle music) (crowd cheers) - there was this sense of mania and fandom about obama. - i, barack husseino solemnly swear. - and people came to expect extraordinary transformative things from him and he kind of promised extraordinary transformative things. - today i say to you that the challenges we face are real. they are serious, and they are many, but know this america, they will be met. (crowd cheers) - but i think a lot of that changed in the course of his presidency. - [kristen] for millennials who had anticipated the election of obama as a unifying moment in american history. - madam speaker, throw out this bill. (crowd cheers) - [kristen] the next eight years would show the country as divided as ever. - the tea party was in some sense a precursor to the kind of populism that you see on the right, now. - $1.47 trillion in additional spending this year by the obama administration is too much. - [abe] it was in response to particular democratic policies. - don't ask, don't tell works. - the bailouts, the stimulus packages, the revamping of the american healthcare system. - people kno

today in wisconsin president barack obama said this. >> he is swaying, ymca and, and, the governor she is standing there, with this weird look on her face like -- she does not know what is going on. like a hostage video. can i, can you imagine if tim did that? or kamala did that? now, our playlist would be better but, but you would say to yourself this is odd behavior. he called himself the father of ivf. i have no idea what that means. you don't either. he said january 6th was the day of love. you are going to hear this from me. do not boo, vote. they can't hear you boo, they can hear your vote. that is the way to send a message. >> so, look, my point is you would be worried if grandpa was acting like this. you would call up your brother, call up your cousins, have you noticed? but there is coming from somebody who wants unchecked power. something we do not see what an older, lonnier donald trump looks like with no guardrails. america is ready to turn the page. we are ready for a better story, wisconsin. >>> in detroit, michigan tonight, one of detroit's famous sons, eminem introduced

as barack obama adequately said, that was joe biden and nancy pelosi who gave out those checks. but, so many low information voters are based on those stimulus checks and they are talking directly to working- class voters of color, who will tell don lemon, when she is interviewing them on the street, that they are voting based on the stimmy. they need to break that information logjam, and get people to understand where that stimulus check came from, that is core democratic policy. and that when donald trump came in, he was golfing well president obama's economy was cooking. it was obama's economy he was living off of. that is why he had time to play golf, because he really didn't do much as president, except spend down and basically squander all of the bounty that barack obama left him by giving it to billionaires like elon musk, who are now funding him to keep the tax cut. this is key information. those are the clips that the kamala harris-tim walz campaign once clipped and socialized, so that people can get out of this information bubble and this lie that donald trump had a gr

part of what we expect from barack obama is that same message. he's one of the biggest voices in the democratic party and wants to encourage people across this state to register their votes now. and they're trying to drum up, push up votes in suburban areas and in places like dane county here where it is not only the state capital but it's also a college town. they've seen a growth of the county growing in numbers and population, and they want to make sure they maximize that. so, that's part of what's happening here. barack obama is also, of course, going to a couple of the other key battleground states in the next few days. we're at that point so deep in the election season where election day is now a living thing with early voting beginning that the big names are coming out in terms of entertainment, in terms of the political stars of each party, and certainly having the candidates out on the road. while kamala harris is in d.c. today doing a couple of interviews, governor tim walz will be here and then holding a rally later today in racine. ka

. >> last night we saw former president barack obama, arguably one of the most popular figures, along with his wife, michelle obama, they're hoping to juice turnout on their side and appeal to undecided voters who find the obamas to be favorable. with someone like nikki haley though, i think it's different. i think bringing someone like her out is, you know, is in an effort to appeal to a specific subset of republicans that she was able to appeal to in the primaries. remember, even though she didn't win the g.o.p. primary outright, we did see her getting significant, you know, portions of the vote, sometimes 10, 15, 20% in some of these states, meaning that there are republican primary voters who like nikki haley. the question is though, are these primary voters going to come home to trump and vote for him in the general election or are they going to be protest votes. neil: as you indicated, every little bit helps, and if you would get a few otherwise might not have shown support for donald trump, but then would. and could i get your take, at ethel kennedy's funeral this past week we

as barack obama accurately said, it was joe biden and nancy pelosi who gave out those checks. so many voters are voting based on those stimi checks and voters of color who will tell don lemon when they're on the street that they're voting on the simi. they o need to get people to understand where that stimulus check came from. when donald trump came in he was golfing while president obama's economy was cooking. it was obama's economy he was living on. that's why he had time to play golf, because he really didn't do much as president except spend down and basically squander all a the bounty obama left him by giving it to billionaires like elon musk, who are now funding him to keep the tax cut. this is key information. those the clips that the kamala harris-tim walz campaign want clipped and socialized so that people can get out of this information bubble and this lie that donald trump had a great economy. no, no, no, president obama had a great economy, handed it to this man who squandered it, and then messed up covid, and ended the great economy and plunged us into a recession

you have to remember nobody under 30 has ever voted for barack obama. another part of this is that i wonder how much time he spends with lower middle-class, working-class or black men that are highly intellectual, highly sensitive and funny and cool. how much time does he spend with them rather than helicopter in every two years around election and giving some kind of chastisement about manhood and pulling up your pants this time of the electoral context and is not delivered to anyone else in the american electorate. >> if it is not barack obama, if it is not him, charlemagne is doing the podcast with him this week. >> no. charlemagne has an important role. i think she did a good sitdown discussion with steven jackson and matt barnes on the smoke pot test. they may not be the messengers. it is about the organizations we talked about being excited that we are mobilized at the beginning of the individual calls. those of the guys. the woman that need to get out into the trenches away from the fraternities and sororities and get back to the barbershops and

what turned out to be very fortunate was barack obama, president-elect barack obama was very receptive to that idea. it really became a model transition. one of the elements we can talk about where these memos. there are about 40 of them. the key national security issues of the day. they had standard formats. what did we find? what was our strategy? what did we think we accomplished? what will remain to be done or what was really going to hit the new administration in the face as soon as they walked in the door? we thought this would be a resource for the new administration, but also in some sense was us in the outgoing administration getting our thoughts together in an organized way so in meetings with the new team when they came in we would know what to tell them that would be most useful to them. we decided we would publish those memoranda. i thought the useful think they would serve is let the public know what the outgoing nsc staff -- how we assessed sitting at the time when we left office. not a subsequent period looking backwards in terms of subsequent events and how we sought a

we both worked for barack obama. we know how good he is but one of the things you decide on a campaign is how to use people like him. it's not moving everybody who likes him, but talk about what they want out of him? maybe they want him to do that but i think they want him to excite and engage people and get them off their couches. what do they want? >> i feel that way every october in an election. i think barack obama is the most popular democrat elected official in the party. he is someone who can get out a big crowd, rally the faithful come and convince democrats to get out to vote if they have not already. he has been speaking directly to african american voters. i think is someone who has known kamala harris for a long time. in an election where he appendicitis when voters saying they need more information about her, he can credential her. he can say when i was president, she was a senator and she fought me to be tougher on banks because that is who she is. when she was california attorney general. it's a combin

. >> i feel like even for barack obama i have over teased it. here is barack obama. >> i understand why people are looking to shake things up. i get why sometimes folks are frustrated with politics. i'm sometimes frustrated with politics. so, i get it. what i cannot understand is why anyone would think that donald trump will shake things up in a way that is for putting. that, i don't understand. >> there is discontent in the electorate, that is undeniable. and i would argue that that has been a part of donald trump's intent this entire time, to make people feel like, well, no matter who is in power, it is a mess. you get these people power, they get nothing done. the only ones who benefit are the faux populace, the ones trying to make the argument that a government can be nothing for good. now, you have some degree, that has found itself fatigued from years of donald trump and trumpism. that is why i thought that message from president obama was important to say, i get that that may be where you are, but you now have a binary choice where we can

we talked about it and wondered if barack obama's kids were embarrassed by barack obama rapping eminem. >>> if there are any two kids in the world not embarrassed by their dad. not their dad in general. just the lose yourself just saying we asked the question and turned it over. >>> two weeks and get used to it i am going to be here every night, friday nights two weeks in a row. this is it. this is the final stretch. we are staying with it. >> you know it is serious. >> you know it is serious. it is getting real. if we get you on a friday night i love to see it. alex, you may know that martin sheen is from ohio which explains why he will be joining us tonight with sherid brown from ohio. >> that is what they call a twofer >> thank you, alex. >> have a great slow. >>> it has been 80 years since adolf hitler was part of a election, now he is back. trump quoting hitler saying adolf hitler did some good things, trump has not said what those good things are. his response to his former white house chief of staff, marine corp general john kerry said his praise was not to deny the words that j

. >> former president barack obama put this the best this week can we play him in pittsburgh thursday talking about this very issue? >> now, the people of florida are dealing with another devastating storm. and i want you to watch what happens over the next few days just like the last time. you will have leaders who try to help and then, you have a guy will just lie about it to score political points and this has consequences. people are afraid and they have lost everything and they are trying to figure out how do i apply for help. some of them may be discouraged from getting the help they need. the idea of intentionally trying to deceive people in their most desperate and vulnerable moments my question is when did it become okay? >> we, as americans often times talk about misinformation affecting low information voters or people maybe they just don't know any better. i know a lot of people very smart folks who fell for the belief there were only $750 fema was providing people who have been affected by the hurricanes. we all know that that is not true but when the president of the uni
