how insulting is barack obama and it stacy abrams it to african american men?oking at poles, demographics, not doing well with these demographics so they are trying to insult people into voting for the candidate of their choice? that is not the best strategy in my mind. >> also they're trying to socially shame people in my opinion. always had this happened back in the days of hillary clinton calling is deplorable's, i think that's 12016 the polls gave hillary clinton and over 90% chance of winning that election because a lot of folks felt socially shame for supporting donald trump. raising that facade has fallen away for a lot of people, people are proud to be trump supporters, they are tired of being targeted and demonized. these are patriotic americans far from average, exceptional americans, hardworking that is supporting trump. and i think they have poked at the bare, a weekend of the beast because all of those trump supporters we did not want to stay in line tuesday, tuesday, maybe wanted to sit this one out, they are more fired up than ever, proud to be d

pointing their fingers at it kamala and barack obama, no singular reason why we lost but a big reasonbecause the obama advisor is publicly encouraged democratic to push joe biden outbreak did not even want kamala harris as the nominee and signed up in the campaign, only to run outdated obama era playbooks for a candidate that was not obama. and some democrats actually agree, they are blaming to the laws squarely on obama's people saying they are stuck in 2009. one democrats out of the team there, it is time for them to retire. we need a whole different strategy, the day of obama and his geniuses are over, they have been left behind, the are out of touch with the american people, the democratic party is out of touch. obama's campaign manager, taking the range over the kamala campaign has artie gone into hiding, he deleted his twitter account today, and democrats even have their knives out for george clooney who pulls the trigger on "the new york times". saying somebody brinkley george clooney, we need to have a talk. people are blaming biden, others are blaming barack obama, some blame

former president barack obama _ tim walz! former president barack obama in _ tim walz! support ofj tim walz! former president - barack obama in support of the harris waltz campaign. —— harris waltz campaign. —— harris walz. rumours, misleading allegations and outright lies about voting and fraud are flooding online spaces ahead of the us election. the claims are posing a challenge to election officials who are having to debunk rumours and reassure voters . let's speak to misinformation expert, dr sander van der linden, who is professor of psychology at cambridge university, and author of �*foolproof: why we fall for misinformation and how to build immunity.�* thank you very much for talking to us. as the threat of misinformation and the effect on our behaviour become even greater? on our behaviour become even creater? ., ., ., greater? thanks for having me on. i certainly— greater? thanks for having me on. i certainly think _ greater? thanks for having me on. i certainly think in - greater? thanks for having me on. i certainly think in the - on. i certainly think in the

barack obama did not do that. there is simply no comparison between what president elect trump is said to be considering and what barack obama did. i'm sort of twisted between -- it's a great idea and he's not even thinking about this crazy idea, so i'm not sure how to respond to that. host: what did barack obama do? guest: he made recess appointments during intersection recesses. he had the supreme court struck down unanimously three of his appointments to the national labor relations board. again, recess appointments have been made in the past and it's a perfectly proper tool when the senate is actually in recess. forcing the senate to recess to make blanket appointments of cabinet officials at the outset of a presidential term is a far cry from that. it's not apples to apples or even apples to oranges, its apples to orangutans. host: what would you be comfortable with? how many recess appointments, if they don't get the votes that they need? if it's not a blanket recess appointment, what would you be ok with? g

barack obama can't run anyways. it's going to be hard for harris to say i lost and did worse than joe biden in 48 states, but i'm the person to lead you. they have to find the people to lead them. is hakeem jeffries the most powerful democrat by his position? the future of the party? i don't know. probably one of the governors you mentioned. >> jim talking about the back and forth nature of american politics, and we have been doing this a little while. i have done this before, and i want to do it again, again, for people who are thinking, they always seem to think that the election that was most recently held is the end of history, and we have seen it time and time again. i just want to go over this again. in 2004, republicans won, declaring the permanent majority. two years later, nancy pelosi was elected the first woman, speaker of the house, democrats took charge. 2008, barack obama is elected in the hope and change election, and democrats talk about a permanent sweeping majority of the ascendant. two years later

and democrats have lost support among white voters even since barack obama in 2008.ou think that means for the future of the party and the parties dynamic? guest: i think what it reflects is the deep racism that is still at stand among white people in america. certainly the trump presidency and even his successful campaign in 2016 which frankly shocked me. i am a white guy, i grew up with white people and i knew that white racism was out there, i heard the jokes and slurs as a kid and all that kind of thing but i never realized how broad and how deep it is. 1960 four was the year lyndon johnson put forward the civil rights act and actually passed congress. it was the end of apartheid in the united states paid i'm old enough that i remember as a little kid my parents taking me to the jack tar in michigan. that was the fanciest hotel in town and had a really nice restaurant and for their anniversary what i was seven or eight years old they took us to dinner there. i remer the sign on the side of the building pointing to the colored interest. this is the 1950's. that al

democrats took charge. 2008, barack obama is elected under hope and change. and democrats are talking about a permanent sweeping majority. two years later, the tea party comes in. and they are in charge. could not be more different than barack obama and all the people who won in 2008. that was in 2010. 2012, barack obama gets reelected. 2014, republicans take charge of the senate. 2016, trump is elected. 2017, republicans lose. 2018, republicans lose. 2019 republicans lose, 2020, joe biden elected president. 22 democrats hold off the red wave. 24, the red wave comes. so, there is a back and forth and back and forth and this whole idea that this is somehow the end of history. we heard it when bush got elected when barack obama got elected. it's just not. but the democrats have serious serious problems. there's just not not going to come back by gravity. they have serious serious problems. they lost a great number of latino voters. they lost a great number of black men. they lost young voters in numbers that they just is shocking to them they voted for them two

i will speak with one of the key architects of barack obama's successful campaigns about what democrats are getting so wrong. that's next. . it's our son, he is always up in our business. it's the verizon 5g home internet i got us. oh... he used to be a competitive gamer but with the higher lag, he can't keep up with his squad. so now we're his “squad”. what are kevin's plans for the fall? he's going to college. out of state, yeah. -yeah in the fall. change of plans, i've decided to stay local. oh excellent! oh that's great! why would i ever leave this? -aw! we will do anything to get him gaming again. you and kevin need to fix this internet situation. heard my name! i swear to god, kevin! -we told you to wait in the car. everyone in my old squad has xfinity. less lag, better gaming! i'm gonna need to charge you for three people. come into washington, d.c. that is the point. the people who run this town, govern in this town, inflation did not take the toll on them. cost of living did not take the toll on them. when you go out into the coun that the people who live here have no idea abou

and my point is barack obama take any ownership of this? the coot the guy?s still he still alive. he is still making everyone's life miserable. what more can they do? pr know they can't do much more and again i think there's is much more larger than just taking orders from the establishment. biden is agreeing and if he feels like he was cheated by th democratic astonishment that made him. he made her and she nice knifed him in the back. and this is his payback and right now look at how they are treating him with the kind of contempt and disrespect. he disapproved up -- you the city president of the united states who six months ago said was mentally capable. now they are treating him like the weather to grandfather who was afraid they might just something bad and stupid and frankly there might have done been favorably biden knows what he's doing and i think that comment about garbage and some of the other things he been saying, i think they've been targeted, they have been times and i think they've been very effective to put a monkey wrenc into the harris cam

let's listen to barack obama he is in milwaukee on this last day of early voting. let's take a listen, everybody. >> you think donald trump can do that? do you think donald trump has ever changed a tire in his life? if he gets a flat tower tire, he calls his chauffeur. a change that tire. i don't know if his chauffeur is actually named, but i like to think. it's jeeves. the point is that if you elect kamala and tim , they know something about your life, because it has been their life. focused not on their problems, but yours. that is why for so many of us, the choice in the election seems like it should be so clear. on one hand, you got a former president whose time in office was characterized by so much chaos and scandal that he was impeached not one time, but twice. on the other end, you have somebody who cares about working people and has served with distinction in every office that she has ever helped. here is the thing, milwaukee. we live in a big country. wisconsin is a big state. people have a lot of different points of view. there are voters who are just as

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 nse 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

barack obama who was abusing the idea of what a racist is, he had a 28 times.is is nothing new. it is not the end of the world. donald trump is looking for ways to carry out his mandate. he is looking for constitutional ways to do it. and so i just want to underscore this point because that media, do not know what they are talking about. certain commentators beat their chest about how brilliant they are they certainly do not know what they are talking about. this is the reality the constitution does not being used as intended by the framers of the constitution. they are being used to cripple an incoming president of the opposite party or an incoming president of the same party with whom the establishment of that party disagrees. and remember again, only one third of the senate is up at any time for two thirds of the senator said not face the wrath of the voters this last time around. and so our president always has a need and the right to populate his administration. if in fact there is a nominee here and there we get it. but donald trump's experience with the

>> well, unfortunately i agree with what you just said about barack obama.tic elite needs to face the facts. they have two choices here. they can either take the lid off the voices of the traditional base of the democratic party, remember, we have a populous revolution going on in this country. it is popular him versus the establishment. the republican party has made room for right wing popularrist but the democratic party hasn't wanted to make room for left wing populous. you have a choice and either stay where you are and continue to lose and continue to decline in relevancy or political power or step aside. left the left wing populous who want to have a conversation let us in and stop suppressing the campaigns and knocking us off pal lots. ballots. if you don't, those people will go third people and figure what is the point in trying in the democratic party anymore. what i would love to see is contrition and love to see acknowledgment looking in the mirror rather than blaming anybody else. to be honest i would like to see humility. if those things happen,

we worked for some winning campaigns with barack obama.the things michael steele said is harris is a big part and harris has been underestimated at every moment. leading up to will biden stay in are not? in the days he decided to no longer run away she was going to do. that's a big part of it. i want to ask. we know a thing or two of working for someone who is underestimated a won. the other is closing on a positive message. you have written the speeches. that is a choice and i want to know what you thought of that and what you think of her being underestimated and that's part of the story? >> she had to run a near flawless campaign to have a chance in this political environment where voters are grumpy. they are still grumpy about inflation, the border, and joe biden's approval rating was not great. she only had 100 days and shot out of a cannon. usually, someone is running for president, they have a year to do interviews and make mistakes and give speeches and get their message right. she had to walk the highest, narrowest tight rope. you

will: that host is a former speech writer for barack obama p. mp was all in with kamala harris at some point. but like rachel's saying, it's finger pointing going every which way. it's crossfire taking everyone out trying to figure out who's to to blame. i don't care who the candidate was going to be, they were going to get beat by donald trump. of i don't care if it was kamala harris, joe biden, an open primary. whoever that angel is that was going to save democrats, i don't think it existed. you were going to lose to donald trump. rachel: i believe that too. but what's interesting is when you have a party like the democrat party has doing all these machinations and not if really -- i mean, the donald trump campaign9 and the reason why you're right about this, will, is because the donald trump -- everybody who was in positions of power, establishment, did not want donald trump. this was an entirely people-powered campaign and candidate. and the democrat party represents the exact opposite. pete: yeah. rachel: it was elites moving pieces. if you

the ceo of the messina group and former white house deputy chief of staff for operations under barack obamas kamala harris had more time to campaign. she's been the candidate for less than 100 days and you would love to have another month or two to make a case for swing voters, i saw some pulse over the weekend, undecided voters, only a quarter of them think they do not know enough —— enough about her and it would have been nice to have a month or two to make a case but you've got to go for a great aid for the you've got to go for a great aid forthe campaign you've got to go for a great aid for the campaign she put together in 100 days, it feels much more like a european snap election than the two—year barack obama campaign that i run but she's done a greatjob. in the end, she would have loved to have had a little bit more time. as election day approaches, we'll be keeping track of the polls and seeing what effect the campaign has on the race to the white house. you can watch live coverage of the results here on bbc news — and on bbc one and the iplayer in the uk at 22:40 gmt on tuesday. su

barack obama tells the story. he couldn't even get into the democratic national convention that was in los angeles. travels from chicago to the democratic national convention. can't get in. it's probably the chicago political machine and has to turn back around without even setting foot in that convention. four years later, he delivers one of the most dynamic speeches inside the democratic national convention in 2004 and then is elected to the united states senate four years after that, barack obama, of course, shatters one of the ultimate barriers and becomes the 44th president of the united states of america. and what i'll never forget is there were headlines from all across the country and the world. but the one that stood out to me was a headline from a, a major newspaper in western europe that said, um america does it again, america does it again. and i think what was reflected, there was the fact that america has confronted trials and tribulation and turbulence and trouble in different ways, not born as a pe

but look, i think what's happened is the democrat party has left barack obama.s left elon musk, it's left clay travis, it's left a lot of us out there who used to vote democrat when we were younger. it hasn't left your mom yet, but i bet if she really thought long and hard about it, jesse, she actually in the back of her mind is like, you know what my son's starting to make a lot of sense. and you know what doesn't work for men? getting lectured by women about what we should do and that's kind of the vibe now of the democrat party. it's a hectoring woman trying to tell you what you should do. i think men are showing up for trump in a big way, and i think they are going to lead him to victory. and also by the way, there's a lot of intelligent, strong women out there that were not happy with what mark cuban said about them. and i think they are showing up as a result in a big way over that, too. you're right. men do have a way of rebelling in a passive aggressive way. when we get nagged by women, i don't i don't do that. but many other men do. clay. travis. good l

, and i have a lot there, what i would say for barack obama but not kamala harris, is he actuallyas beliefs and thoughts and his head for how he would like to govern the united states of america and i don't think you could say that about kamala harris. the problem there is that person becomes an empty vessel for whatever the prevailing efforts that are prevailing in washington, d.c., r, and one of the prevailing ideas that affects young people's number one, we should use our young people as cannon fodder for foreign military misadventures that are going to get a lot of your peers killed unless we have a smarter foreign policy. i think you guys have a lot to lose because we are on the precipice of many broad, regional wars, potentially even a world war. would you like a person that kamala harris negotiating in private rooms with people at vladimir putin and xi jinping? or would you like a guy like donald trump sticking up for the united states of america? the answer is obvious. the second prevailing idea in washington, d.c., is we should let in millions upon millions of illegal imm

he took barack obama's economy. and this is where people's minds get hazy. he lost 2.7 million jobs. 280,000 right in michigan alone. drove up unemployment, botched the pandemic so badly, not the mention the people that died unnecessarily and put like hunger against for toilet paper. that's exactly what he did. you're a billionaire, millionaire you might think fondly because you got a tax cut, the rest got squat during the whole time. i heard pete say, donald trump is not spending any time thinking about how to make your life better. donald trump is not spending any time thinking about you at all. so, look, i get it, folks, you're stressed about what's there, they know what's coming, should that guy get another chance, they're word about it, they get on the poll coaster, oh, it's bad, it's great. we won and lost 50 times but none of that matters because there's antidote for all of this, go out and vote for kamala harris. [cheers and applause] >> it works. i was with a mayor the other day in wisconsin and said, don't be ringing your hands go, ring doorbells w

mp and then i work for barack obama, who no one would have w bet was going to be the next nominee or the next president after george w. bush. t as dark as people feel. as fearful as people feel. as lost as they feel -- a vacuum is also an opportunity to get everything, to listen, to be curious and humble. i think in this darkness people are feeling, i'm hopeful that's part of it. someone will emerge. 10 people will emerge. that's what we will see in months ahead. >>> we will have much more > "morning joe weekend" right after the break. veryth it take. or, put the money towards a down-payment... ...on a ranch ...in montana ...with horses let's take a look at those scenarios. j.p. morgan wealth management has advisors in chase branches and tools, like wealth plan to keep you on track. when you're planning for it all... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management. advil liqui-gels are faster and stronger than tylenol rapid release gels. ♪♪ also from advil, advil targeted relief, the only topical with 4 powerful pain fighting ingredients that start working on contact and lasts up to 8 ho

excuse me, barack obama barack obama, anyone? joke.is gaslighting, no one actually said, i'm not voting for harris because she is a black woman, but there are a kamala he four of a lot of democrats that said they were voting for her because she was a black woman, including joe biden, who put her forward. you live by dei, you die by dei. >> jesse: identity politics is dead, dana. >> dana: it's hard to blame this laws on racism and misogyny, underperformed with blblack voters, hispanic voters, and women. one of my favorite moments was when a canadian broadcasting cuddly reporter, she was at kamala harris' hq, and she lamented the fact that women who plan to call this election were not allowed to do that. christina applegate tweeted that her child was crying because she was worried about losing her rights. why would you tell your child, who lives in california, that her rights are about to be taken away? you live in california. >> greg: how old is her child? >> dana: i don't know. >> greg: 47. >> dana: i think it is important to recognize

. >> el ultimo candidato democrata que gano ese estado fue justamente barack obama en el ano 2012, fueador en contra de john mccain y a pesar de que estaba en el pico de su popularidad, barack obama, les voy a mostrar cual fue la diferencia de su victoria. >> apenas 14 mil votos, tres decimas de un punto porcentual. >> en realidad fue bastante, bastante cerrado. >> cuatro anos despues, 2012, cuando buscaba la reeleccion y ya perdiendo sectores de la poblacion. >> obama pierde carolina del norte en contra de mitt romney, le gana por mas de 90 mil votos y entonces el estado se vuelve a pintar de rojo. >> en 2016 aparece en escena donald trump y vean la ventaja que le saca a clinton, casi la la duplica, mas de 173 mil votos para mantener el estado de carolina del norte. >> y en el ano 2020, al enfrentar a joe biden, trump vuelve a ganar el estado, pero esta vez con una ventaja mas reducida, apenas arriba de los 74 mil votos. >> es un dato muy interesante para que ustedes vean en los siete estados que hoy en dia son considerados como estados claves, en el caso de y wisconsin, solamente el

i think if they would open their minds the same way they did for barack obama or bill clinton and listen being said, i think they'll find themselves in that message. i think it was one of those times where you had a younger demographic that decided they wanted to be singled out and get something. and they did. she gave them a plan saying these are some of the things that i'm going to work on policy-wise to work with just us you but understand that when she becomes president she would be the president of the united states of america and it would have to be inclusive. >> both candidates will be here making their case directly to voters in this crucial swing state of wisconsin. >> another of the swing states is north carolina and that's where we find our correspond helena in the town of asheville. >> one of the looming questions in this swing state of north carolina is will we see the impact of the devastation of hurricane helene? you can see just how hard it hit here last month. over 100 died. this is river arts center, which you can see, an extreme level of devastation. i'm joined by jeff

it was in the 2012 election where mitt romney be barack obama among independents and barack obama's success there were a lot more democrats that turned out. ended up winning by six or more points that was the secret to success. if he is able to win, he will need to bank on the electorate overall more republican leaning than any we have seen in a while. >> you hit that nugget when we have to go. we will bring you back again. joining me now, cornell belcher. he is an msnbc political analyst. also with me, -- , pollster and president of lake research. >> let me get your topline thoughts. >> my thought, they're going to be all over the place. they are not going to predict the future. what i see in all the polling is a ceiling for donald trump. it has donald trump at 49% and he has never gotten that nationally. if you look at michigan where the vice president is, in 2000 1647% 2000 2047%. he has a ceiling that is consistent and on election day. the question is, how has he grown above that? the point that mark was making, they need more republicans in the electorate. if you look at early voting,

that johnson in the 60s , barack obama in 2008.don't read your suggestion to be that the black monolith, if we are using that word, black voters are going to swing in large numbers behind donald trump . you're not saying that, are you? >> not at all. when we see it in whatever form it arrives the country reacts to it. sometimes in a good way. sometimes not when we saw the black monolith during reconstruction we know what happened. we got the compromise of 1877 were democrats and republicans work to decide who would get the electors. the republican candidate got it in a change for removing -- newly enfranchise black folks in the south. really free black folks in the south. and get decades of racist terrorism throughout the south. we get jim crow and essentially a century of disenfranchisement of black people. in 1964 the opposite happened. black vote boat overwhelming democratic. the next year get the -- black candidate sweep into state, local and federal office across country to the point where we had a black president in 20 -- in

i think there will be dana remember when barack obama and there was this flood of young people. that is what you want in your country. what you don't want to have happen is when they do something that you disagree you get retribution. >> the question is will democrats lock the appointments. -- chuck schumer need to not put up roadblocks and that donald trump appoint his government. >> democrats have to be careful here. just resisting everything all the time muddles a message for the american people. when we engage we have to dominate and dominate the space. let people know what we stand for but the work we have to do, the democrats, it's on our side and building a connection. >> we are going to take a quick rate. stick around. a lot more to come. g.o.a.t. we are now 71 days from trump taking the oath of office. what is the most important thing everybody is looking for? >> joe biden has been a phenomenal president. there is one promise left to fulfill. he can resigned the presidency in the next 30 days then kamala harris becomes president. then absolve -- the transition upon defe

america, and in 2008, you know, there was a -- kind of a broad consensus that air america helped barack obama get elected -- glue while you -- i don't know if you want to grab a drink of water or something. >> i'm good. >> i want to read something -- i'll go back to something you mentioned, since the 1960s, the democrats have been the party that's that supports racial my norties according to your assessment but also i want to look at this chart here about the distribution of white voters in particular. the democrats have not won the vote amongst white americans since 1964 overwhelmingly over the years white voters have voted republican and democrats lost support among white voters since barack obama in 2008, and what do you think that means for the future of the party and the party's dynamics. i think what that reflects is the deep racism that is still among white people in america. the trump presidency and even his successful campaign in 2016 frankly shocked me. i'm a white guy. i grew up with white people. and i, you know, knew that white racism is out there and, you know, i heard the jokes

the illinois governor, rod blagojevich, charged with plotting to sell barack obama's former senate seat. >> remember this guy he sure hopes you do governor rod blagojevich went down in a blaze of infamy for one of the largest political corruption scandals of our time the governor was allegedly trying to sell the illinois senate seat vacated by president elect obama. in fact, part of the governor's sales pitch was that the seat still had that new obama smell appointing someone to the senate is a rare opportunity when the will of the people is swapped wholesale for a gubernatorial power trip blagojevich had the sole authority to place whomever he wanted straight into the halls of the u.s. >> senate, and he was not shy about wanting a little something in return with the fbi recording his phone calls for the first time since nixon, the public was able to listen in on raw backroom politics and there's nothing quite like hearing it from the horse's mouth. >> the criminal complaint quotes blagojevich as saying the senate seat was a valuable thing. you just don't give it away for nothing anothe

humility said senator barack obama on fox news. the race was never called until the morning after the election, as you saw, because of a close vote in the central swing state of ohio. is that it on the other way, bush would've lost that election despite winning the popular vote. it was crazy because democrats had a massive voter turnout operation that hit its numbers in ohio and elsewhere. >> the democrats thought they would mobilize the voting get this huge boat out and swamp the republicans but in the end, it was republicans that mobilized a huge vote. it was a vote that i haven't seen in ohio in terms of the number of republicans in the margins they were producing, especially the rural counties. >> sound familiar? how did bush win it and how did he run up big numbers in those rural areas? this was only three years after 9/11 and americans were still rallying around the flag and the wartime cleaner. bush launched the war in iraq and declared mission accomplished in that indelible image, even as it was already becoming clear the i

barack obama did it. joe biden did it.ing to have to take some people out of this country who have had due process and proven they should not be here. >> how do you read the results as democrat? >> we lost. unlike 2020, we can say we lose and that it wasn't cheating. it wasn't a stolen election. this is what happens when you run for office. you try and get voters to vote for you and they don'tdon't when they don't, you ask why. i am not going to have a hot take right now on why democrats lost. i actually think it's dangerous and disin. we know data doesn't drop for a few weeks about what the data shows. once donald trump gets into office, it's sometimes easier to win an election than it is to govern. so he may win the house of representatives. he's clearly won the senate. now he has to govern. now he has to make good on his promises and guess what. in two years, hopefully we'll have a house, another election where the american people will decide if they like how he's making good on some of his promises. >> i look at it lik

i had barack obama on my radio show. i wanted to play part of my consideration where he addressed his successor, donald trump's treatment of t communities of color. listen to this. >> when it comes to the african american community, latino community, people who have been on the outside, you have in donald trump someone who has consistently shown disregard to people who are not like him. i don't have to tell you. this is somebody who has made a career out of demeaning and talking about and treating people of color in ways that indicate he does not think they necessarily are full members of the american community. >> now the former president's comments come in the wake of the controversial comments of puerto rico at the trump rally in madison square garden. outrage of the joke has spread like wild fire in battleground states like pennsylvania. juanita, do you think voters of color are surging for harris after this? >> i think there will be some movement. we have seen that in the puerto rican surrogates who have endorsed do

barack obama had 32. the process largely ground to a halt because of a supreme court case when barack obama made a recess appointment. he was sued in 2014 over it. that's when court cases actually dictated that ten days is what constitutes a recess. that's how long the senate would have to be out to do what the former president wants. >> there are up to 100 appointments, appointments well beyond a cabinet at this point. just for people watching. >> of course, it's not just cabinets. >> phil, always appreciate you being here. thanks for breaking that down. >>> after a series of highly controversial cabinet picks this week, here is what republicans senators are saying about those recess appointments. >> well, what i said is we're at, and i think that all options are on the table, including recess appointments. hopefully it doesn't get to that. >> i don't think we should be circumventing the senate's responsibilities. but i think it's premature to be talking about recess appointments. >> quite frankly, the s

the party some years ago through 2016, you, it occurred to me subsequent to that that, you know, barack obamaognizing that hillary would probably get the institutional support created obama for america, this proprietary organization and ran around the party, with a party that ultimately got with him, and then bernie sanders ran against the party for eight years, and so for 16 years if you're a 30-year-old voter you've spent half of your life understanding that the democratic party isn't for you or is somehow corrupt or doesn't represent the values and policies that you represent. so there's a huge credibility issue, a branding problem that the democratic party has because -- in many way, and i think when i talk to a lot of younger voters and i was at morehouse yesterday, they're saying what is this thing in the democratic party? sometimes they feel it's more personality driven than party driven and historically the party was something that was supposed to be the entity that kind of delivered all of that messaging down, but it doesn't -- it doesn't serve that purpose anymore, and so in many wa

we worked for some winning presidential campaigns with barack obama.something that michael steele has said, harris has been under estimated. leading up to will biden stay in or not. in the days after he decided to no longer run and what he was going to do. and i think that is a big part of it. i want to ask you about that. we know something about being under estimated who won another thing is working on a winning message. >> she had to run a near flawless campaign to have a chance in this political environment where voters are grumpy. they're still grumpy about inflation, the border, and joe biden's approval rating wasn't great and she only had 90 days. 100 days and just shot out of a cannon as you know. usually, if someone is running for president they have like a year to do interviews, to make mistakes. to give speeches, to get their message right. and so she had to walk the highest, narrowest tight rope. and you can count maybe on one hand how many times that she stumbled in this 107 days of this campaign. so what she has done is beyond remarkable.

president barack obama, former president barack obama spoke out. he said, fareed.a has been through a lot over the past few years, pandemic, price heights from pandemic to -- hikes from pandemic, people treading water. those conditions created headwinds and last night showed america is not immune. obviously you have seen this in far-right government that have been elected across europe, germany, austria, france, you flame it. i remember having a meeting at the white house and they were pulling out all of the polls talking about biden showing the infinity that the public has across europe. all but one country for a strong plan autocratic-like leader s. it happening everywhere? >> reporter: yes, it is happening but not just a strong autocatic leader. it is just people are fed up and they feel, they feel like the world is in turmoil, inflation got out of control and so they punished incumbents. the best example, close in a sense to great britain. the conservative party went from the largest majority they had in 75 years to the smallest minority they had in 75 years in

and under similar circumstances, when then president barack obama wasjust stunned when then presidenta similarly diminished stand as we saw biden come to lima. find diminished stand as we saw biden come to lima. and this gathering _ biden come to lima. and this gathering of _ biden come to lima. and this gathering of leaders, - biden come to lima. and this gathering of leaders, what i gathering of leaders, what happens at the end of it? what kind of statement do they produce, what is the common goal they're trying to achieve? it is about free trade and breaking down barriers between countries. these might sound like platitudes, but this is something that many people are concerned about now, because as we know we have an incoming president in the united states, donald trump, who has basically campaigned on an america first strategy which has isolationism, which are against what apec stands for. it is about producing, not as much actions per se, as many conferences are known for, but it is about really producing a sort of interpersonal conversation, bilateral discussions, places where th

excuseex me, barack obama, anyo? joke.this is gas lighting no one actually said i'm not voting for harris because she's a black woman. buant there are a helluva lot od democrats who said they are voting for her because she is a black woman including joe biden who put her forward. you live by dei, you die by dei. >> dana: it is hard to blame it on misogyny and racism when trump led blacank voters,en hispanicts, and women. one thing when this cbc reporter was at hq and lamented the fact that women who called this november the 5th were notap allowed to dplo that. christina applegate said she was crying because she was losingri heghr rights. a why woulbod you tell your childn california her rights were taken away. >> greg: howhold was the child do you know? 47. >> it's also important toec recognize that wheogn faced wita barrage of this, i would just be, like, can i afford eggs,omen thanks. >> greg: do you think thistary s a momentary area of self-reflection or where do you see the media going.do y >> and by they do you mean m

that group of voters had been repeatedly scolded, first by barack obama, and then by michelle obama, said, "your rage does not exist in a vacuum. if we don't get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women will become collateral damage for your rage." the message that they were putting out there, the obamas, was if you don't suck it up and vote democrat, you are going to be held responsible for every bad thing that happens to your family. and how do you think black men responded to that? >> well, i think we saw how they responded to it. and this was another big tactic democrats had at the end, which was to essentially, as you say, shame voters into voting for democrats because apparently that was the only moral position to take. you had michelle obama suggesting that if you didn't vote for kamala harris you didn't care about women. i.e., you are a misogynist. you have barack obama out there telling black men that he thought really the reason they weren't voting for kamala harris was they weren't feeling having a woman in the white house, suggesting if they

i don't think michelle and barack obama want to lead a revival of the party, and barack obama can't runt harris to say, hey, i lost and did worse than joe biden in 48 states but i'm the person to lead you. they're going to have to find who are the figures to lead them. hakeem jeffries, probably the most powerful democrat by virtue of his position. is he the future of the party? i don't know. probably one of those governors you mentioned. >> so jim was talking about the back and forth nature of american politics, and we have been doing this a little while. i've done this before. i want to do it again. just for people that are thinking, you know, they always seem to think that the election that was most recently held is the end of history, and we have seen it time and time again. i just want to go over this again, in 2004, republicans won, coral road declared a permanent majority. two years later, nancy pelosi was elected the first woman speaker of the house. democrats took charge. 2008, barack obama is elected in the hope and change election, and democrats talk about a permanent sweeping

they compare it back to barack obama. you see the numbers and what they did there, counted a lot of folks come over the border, removed them quickly and they count that as a deportation or a removal. that is not the case. we are talking about removing dangerous people from the interior of the country. most released by this administration. and i think that, again, that is what the president is talking about. i did not hear governor desantis'comments. i take exception to say we did not do our job or remove individuals, when you look at it we were driving the numbers down at the border we were holding people accountable and removing them. remain in mexico and other agreements in place. >> yeah. those are the words your republican governor obviously here. secretary chad wolf thank you for your time. keep us updated if you have conversations with the trump team. >> thank you. appreciate it. >>> up next, president biden addressed the nation today. we heard from him after he once was driving trump from the white house now a reve

if you put your neck out there, i mean, when oprah decided to support barack obama for president, she knew it's going to cost her money. when you anytime you put your toe into the political ring, it does. but i feel the higher cost is to not say something, just especially if you have kids and you want your kids to enjoy the same career opportunities, the same freedoms that that i've enjoyed. you've been pretty active social media, especially on x, and here's a recent x post. my family left california and moved to the free state of arizona because individual liberties were trampled in the guise of liberalism, etc., etc. well, they. yes, exactly right. i think that that i think that i know that that individual liberties are trampled on. if if if the government can shut down your business and say, we're protecting you, it's for health. i mean, it's always for health that or safety that they starts. and during the pandemic, i got out of california because i realized it was time to go and. interestingly, you would think that after the pandemic, the destruction of businesses restaurants, we
