[cheers and applause] now that senator barack obama is president-elect barack obama, someone will havever 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

he was doing the bidding of his good friend barack obama.eve joe biden's line about him not blaming kamala harris because we have seen on a number of occasions now, since the election, where both joe biden and joe biden have iced out kamala harris in public occasions. so they are pretty dirty on her. i think joe biden realized halfway through the campaign that kamala harris had put up her good friend to do private polling which she circulated around donors, showing that joe biden had no chance after the debate and then the donors shut their wallets. and i think joe biden has good cause to suspect that kamala harris was playing her own game. >> sean: i suspect it, jason, what about you? >> look, i don't think kamala harris had it in her, i think the way that joe biden quickly put kamala harris in that position and endorsed her was cut quite frankly, screwing over barack obama and nancy pelosi and the rest of the democratic party because there is no way she would have gotten the nomination by herself. so it was, a, you did this to me, all do i

or you really going to let barack obama and nancy pelosi continued to run your party or are you goinghese are not winners. these are not people who will leave us on a path to victory going forward it. i ask what advice he would give to democrats going forward and he basically said they needed to check themselves when it came to all of these sessions particularly on cultural were issues we will see whether they are actually willing to do that. >> i think that is one of the rare issues joe biden i don't have agree on. him to blame. they both agree it was barack, clooney, with lucy. great to see you tonight congrats on the interview we will be watching and listening to the rest of it. that is it for us tonight make sure to follow me on social media some fun stuff on instagram, jesse watters is next. >> jesse: welcome to jesse watters prime time

when barack obama castigated mitt. romney during a presidential. >> debate, saying. >> when he said that when mitt. >> romney said that russia was our biggest threat. >> and he said, oh, no, the 1980s. >> want their foreign. >> policy back this where are all those people now? >> look at lindsey graham. >> what a hypocrite. so many. >> of them. >> this hypocrisy. and lack of courage, they're cowards. is potentially. >> going to change the course of the history of this country and. >> the western alliances. moving forward, because. >> they are. >> too cowardly to stand up for western democracy and america's. >> position in the world. >> for donald trump. >> it was outrageous. i'm embarrassed. >> for this country. >> every republican. >> that is backing. >> trump and vance's. >> ambush of zelensky. >> who is a hero. this man is. >> a wartime. >> president in europe. >> our grandfathers fought world war two. >> they crossed oceans to make sure that democracy. held in this. >> world against fascism and authoritarianism. >>

but what i just want to say is it's very clear from his perspective that joe biden blames barack obama and nancy pelosi. >> for. >> what happened to him, not kamala harris, which i think is something that the democratic party really needs to wrestle with. are you really going to let barack obama and nancy pelosi continue to run your party, or are you going to actually check yourself? look within and say, these are not winners. these are not people who are going to lead us on a path toward victory going forward. i asked him what advice he would give to democrats going forward, and he basically, you know, said that they needed to check themselves when it came to all these extreme positions that they had, particularly on culture war issues. we'll see whether they are actually willing to. >> do that. i think that's where one of the rare issues joe biden and donald trump agree on is whom to blame. >> exactly. >> i agree, they both agree on it. was it was barack clooney. pelosi. okay, ben, great to see you tonight. congrats on the interview. we'll be watching and listening to the rest of it.

be hard. crowley is a former us assistant secretary of state for public says on the president barack obama. he says the blow up in the oval office is a bad luck for the us and ukraine. this was supposed to be a very straightforward, you know, diplomatic initiative. you know, to sure up us ukrainian relations prior to the beginning of the goal. she ations and obviously what we're seeing now is the relationship in adult spiral. adults on clear if for the leaders can that can pull it out before it actually crashes. the truck administration has broken the alliance between united states ukraine and now they own the consequences of that. you know, can ukraine survive in its current state without you are dramatic us military assistance. probably. ok in the short term, certainly not sustainable in the long term. so i think you're once the um, the anchor on all sides passes. the question will be, you can cooler heads, try to sticks this back together again over time, but it's going to take time, you know, to accomplish then clearly the truck administration has been signaling a dramatic shift in us

i never think of him as barack, you know, you always hear obama. to think about that for a second. and he said and i also blame nancy pelosi. i said what about the vice president? he said no, i don't blame her, which was interesting. charlie: you've got these extraordinary divisions within the democrat party. where do they go from here? >> it was interesting and i asked him of the advice given to democrats and he thinks they're going wacko on so many different areas of policy and he's fine with them doing that over and over again. i would encourage people to look at interview and see some of the things he said and it presaged this confrontation with zelenskyy and find at spectator.com and it's one of these things and never know how long he'll go and we ended up talking for more than an hour and longest interview he's done since returning to the presidency and there's so much in there but one thing about that division is that i think he's very much playing into here is that joe, i think, still resents the fact he never got a shot to defend his legac

barack. you know you always say obama. i have to think about that for a second.lso blame nancy pelosi. i said what about the vice president. he said nope i don't blame her which was interesting. he didn't blame her he blamed... those two people. >> jesse: no wonder they were torque -- terrified about letting joe speak without a teleprompter he is a loose cannon and misfires all the time. >> impromptu on practiced and the attention of. he was he was... it was... who do not trust their own candidate. >> jesse: biden's team did not stick to their word and thought that they would be a bridge between generations but they were shocked to find out there were plans for a second term the second he took office. >> when i got to the white house on day one it became pretty clear to me you know i think i went in first of all i was just happy to be there, excited, nice to drive my foster home every night. my chief of staff because we work in the same building. and the remember him saying something about that is after the reelect. that is a second term think. i was wait what? [

bush, barack obama, and joe biden. years when he didn't invade was donald trump, when he was in power. this is so dumb politically and just to make this comment and we all want to escapism when we watch the oscars of course we couldn't get it. now here it is again, we will probably hear this this was the lowest rated oscars of all time half the country reflexively says i don't want to watch this because i don't want to get lectured to. they got lectured to. not surprising. i thought conan was a little above this of course he went there. >> todd: no one seen the movies themselves either. in my house we were not watching any of these most. we were too busy making movies for aunt carley telling her how much we love her. >> carley: i got a couple videos from your daughter. oscar winning performances. >> todd: they weren't performances they truly love you. >> joe: i want to be able to call carley aunt carley. >> carley: sure. >> todd: move away from you can't carley and joe. calling on democrats to boycott trump's joint add

i went to barack obama's eight and two with donald trump. it's a time of respect. if you don't show up, people like chris murphy and the democrat from connecticut saying i'm not going to show up because i can't stand the president. you're not doing your job and don't want to be part of the solution. all the democrats working to bring -- be cohesive, your job is one of the 135 people serving their country, state and districts, you're there not to just support the president, but you are there to have this communication and receiver malik taylorful dialogue back and forth -- respectful dialogue back and forth and not to do a protest and some sort of ridiculousness. i sat there on the floor and watched democrats when donald trump honorred ordinary americans that did extraordinary things and served their country and should have stood and applauded, it wasn't about donald trump, it was about the people they were honorring and they sat there with -- on their hands and didn't do a barn thing. it was embarrassing to this nation. good luck, democrats, you have no plan. they

you will remember congress way back when, barack obama was still president. and he rescinded an agreement which would have achieved nuclear weapons down the line. right now we are at a pivotal moment. iran is racing forward with a nuclear program. this week, next week actually on the third of march the international atomic and agency is meeting. they are supposed to produce a report under iranian progress. but they will not be able to because iran does not really cooperate. and that should not surprise us. these people are liars. they are charming liars but they lie. we cannot allow ourselves to be charmed by their attempt to hoodwink a western civilization allowing them to achieve nuclear power but they mean what they take their one thing the tell the truth about action that's our intention to support israel but how do we know they tell the truth? they have fired hundreds of ballistic missiles with the intention to murder our innocence, to attackers cities and they say we are only the beginning. they call us little stay tuned. united states is the biggest st

. >> congratulations to barack obama, it was to suck the states and, even red states and to make it harderublicans ever to want to do anything about this program and he managed to do that. this is an easy argument for republicans to make, you don't need that big a backbone. over the years, this has been turned away for needy kids, pregnant women, and including young men. it would also help society in general are getting people back to work, bunch of waivers, tricks states play to bilk the federal government for more matching dollars. there's a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse. they need to win this argument this is a program that is being used for purposes it was never meant to be used for. paul: as donald trump holds his first cabinet meeting and prepares for next week's address to congress we will talk to karl rove about the highs and lows of his first five weeks in office. oh, it makes me want to tear up. i swear to god, my business has tripled in the last year because of me sharing my videos on tiktok. i wouldn't be able to support the families that work for me now without tiktok. (♪) ok

in a surprise upset, barack obama won the iowa caucus, where john had been heavily favored previouslyoutwardly, edwards remained hopeful. what people want in new hampshire is they wanna see change. they wanna see something different than they see now. but the political tides had turned. a few days later, edwards lost the new hampshire primary... john edwards a distant third-- must be a disappointing 17%. ...and a few weeks later, the south carolina primary. he's only winning two counties, including where he was born-- seneca. obama broke out as the party favorite just as edwards began to implode. it's time for me to sep-- step aside so that history can blaze its path. and john edwards is still chasing his political career. even though he is not a candidate for president, he's looking for a role in the obama white house. he could still emerge as a vice presidential candidate or, uh, attorney general, but right at that moment, still has rielle and the kid over there, trying to keep this at bay. if you were involved in a heated political scandal, the best thing to do is admit it, confess

barack obama was anti-gay marriage.en they get married, are performing something before god. savage: 2004, when mcgreevey's moving up, it would have been impossible to support gay marriage. and so i don't hold that against him, necessarily. i am not apologizing. but his desire to be seen as a sympathetic, tragic case, that this at all had been done to him, as opposed to the choices he had made and things he had done to others, maybe i'm just too catholic for that shit. my truth is that i am a gay american, and i blessed to live in the greatest nation... when mcgreevey said, "my truth is that i'm a gay american," and immediately framed everything that would come after the resignation in that line, it set the tone. it was a spectacularly well-conceived pr strategy. reporter: apparently mcgreevey thinks he left office as punishment for his homosexuality. this is nonsense. if anything, his admission of sexual preference won him more support. reporter #2: polls taken after the announcement gives the governor the highest job

when barack obama use the intel community to spy on hillary's opposition after they had found she had this private server and then everyone in his cabinet was communicating with her over that server, which means he had knowledge of it, wanted that make him complicit if someone was getting that information and then for them to go after trump for asking questions about the money laundering through zelinski in ukraine after they started the coup in 2014 and then they impeached him for it and then joe biden parted everybody who set him up for the phone call that they impeached him for and then then when it cannot get him that route they took him to court in favorable jurisdictions with people that came out of the justice department? host: a lot of topics there. guest: i will avoid almost all of them because the point of this book is not to be they did this so we can do this or what aboutism. you will never win those debates and they should not be debates. the purpose of this book is to talk about what we think is wrong and what is actually wrong. any collar and i can agree there a lot of

barack obama and joe biden. i think it's very interesting that trump is supposed to be a stooge of putin yet for four years putin didn't invade ukraine and as soon as joe biden came in he did. that would suggest as trump says that putin actually fears what trump may do in a way he is not with obama and biden. it is a very valid question to say hey. what the are we doing to ensure not only that we decide where the new border should be and put a cease-fire in place, but also, create a deterrent situation so that vladimir putin in three-years when donald trump is not in office anymore, and maybe there's a new democrat stooge in office decides to invade again. my understanding based on the way this is laid out is europe is saying they are going to commit actual boots on the ground troops, and we are saying, as a part of the mineral rights deal, that we will get 50% of these profits going forward and effectively, as a result of the mineral rights that we will control, the united states property interest will deter ru

perfect union in terms of racial inequality, gender inequality, a type of theme that actually barack obama often also talked about. and i to highlight in trump's from yesterday his vision of history. he said our country was forged and built by the generations patriots who gave everything, farmers and soldiers, cowboys and factory workers, steelworkers and coal miners, police and pioneers who pushed onward. it's not atypical to have a kind of historical vision of progress like that, but what i think is very striking is that he did not mention a single or role that is typically for women. he did not mention nurses, social workers, teachers. and it's really interesting that the masculine city of this, which is, of course, a hallmark of trump's campaign and of his sort of political attitude, political persona and that there was it was so inclusive in that vision of history and the historic roles that have made america what it is that it even have any roles for women. and going back to ronald reagan in 1981 and where which is actually really interesting to look at in relation to trump's speech

presidents like harry truman or dwight eisenhower or ronald reagan, or all the way through to barack obama. donald trump is breaking that, and americans will be worse off for it. >> he's also becoming making america the lap dog of vladimir putin. the news just broke that the secretary of defense, pete hegseth, actually ordered the halting of offensive cyber operations against russia. uh, that is breathtaking, that we're no longer going to engage in in the kind of. espionage and and cyber operations so we can get a look into what putin is planning and treating him like the enemy and the terrorist that he is. it is. it is. there is a massive pattern going on here where the oval office debacle, this order from secretary hegseth and the idea that we were going to abandon. and now speaker johnson even suggested that perhaps zelenskyy should resign. there are democratic country. their voters decide on who is president, not the united states of america. and they certainly shouldn't be bowing and scraping to the united states. what they should what we should be doing, doing is treating them as the

it's something that when barack obama came into office in the middle of another major nancial crisis he was holding up franklin as his model. what can we get right away to stabilize the economy to help employment, to get this kind of economy back up and running? and i think in that case can see just how difficult it is to do what roosevelt did. there wasn't the same of leeway. there wasn't the honeymoon period from the press or, from the republican party. it just it wasn't possible to do as much as roosevelt had done. and i think that's part of, you know, now that there's an expectation when the presidents are going to be so in their opposition is organized, i think, a lot more strongly as well. as an historian is the 100 days mark a fair benchmark. you know, i'm not sure that it is the most politically useful benchmark. i understand historically it exists. and it's one of those traps. it's so tamped doing for journalists and for administration to use as the benchmark for activity. but, you know, sometimes programs take a while to really think through and develop. it takes a while fo

are you really going to let barack obama and nancy pelosi continue to run your party, or are you going to actually check yourself? look within and say, these are not winners. these are not people who are going to lead us on a path toward victory going forward. i asked him what advice he would give to democrats going forward, and he basically, you know, said that they needed to check themselves when it came to all these extreme positions that they had, particularly on culture war issues. we'll see whether they are actually willing to. >> do that. i think that's where one of the rare issues joe biden and donald trump agree on is whom to blame. >> exactly. >> i agree, they both agree on it. was it was barack clooney. pelosi. okay, ben, great to see you tonight. congrats on the interview. we'll be watching and listening to the rest of it. that's it for us tonight. make sure to follow me on social media. some fun stuff on instagram. jesse watters is next. >> interesting. >> hello, i'm greg gutfeld, along with judge jeanine pirro, jessica tarlov, jesse watters, and when she goes to the movie

um, i go back a decade ago when the nato heads of state and government, including our president barack obama, who, by the way, his nickname was no drama obama. he knew enough to keep those kind of disagreements out of the photo spray at the top of the event. and he and other world leaders would go toe to toe with hamid karzai about how we were conducting the war in afghanistan. putting that all on display does neither side any good. >> can the european allies make up for a total collapse of u.s. support to ukraine? >> i think they can. it's a matter of will, not capacity as follows. uh, europe's collective economy is 22% of the world's gross domestic product, just ahead of the united states at 25%. really? europe, collectively and the u.s. are a matched pair of horses economically. pretty close. um, how big is russia's economy? it's under 4%. so right out of the gates, the europeans have 4 to 5 times more economic capacity. and how about military spending? putin is spending about 150, 160 billion collectively. the europeans, particularly now that their defense budgets are going up, are now a

ben rhodes served as deputy strategy advisor for national security president barack obama he co-hosts the pod save the world podcast. they join me now. john, i'm just a cable news host, so what do i know? maybe that was hyperbole. you've you've got decades in the american national security and foreign policy apparatus. what do you think? >> well. >> i could couldn't agree with you more, chris. this certainly is a day that will live in infamy in the annals of us and international diplomatic history, because it is quite clear that we are at an inflection point in terms of the us engagement on the world stage. first of all, i think the ukrainians should feel quite proud tonight that they have as their president, one of what i think is one of the most principled and finest statesmen of the 21st century. he has shown tremendous courage over the last three years and continued to show that courage in the oval office today, the same time, i think the ukrainians should be worried. indeed, the europeans should be worried because it is quite evident that the trump administration is going to be s

key thing to me about this whole nobel peace prize, seriously, that has stuck in his craw since barack obamawhat this is all about. at the end of the day, that's what it's all about. and whether you get, you know, duffy trump, you know, you know, out there. >> rachel campos-duffy. >> rachel campos-duffy, yes. >> all of that. you know, pushing this stuff out there. it's crazy. >> well. >> but can we actually listen can we. >> listen to. >> it, michael. >> because i think we're going to talk about a nobel peace prize. >> i think i think listening to the way they are trying to turn this around is worth doing. >> take a listen. >> we'll talk. >> about it. >> on the other side. >> the most. >> important point. >> that donald trump. >> made in this whole thing, he. >> said, you. >> are. >> gambling with world war three. this was about peace. ultimately, i think. what's remarkable is that we. >> have a president. >> who is. >> willing to do. >> anything to bring about world peace. man. >> if he doesn't get the if he doesn't get the nobel peace prize. >> after this, that thing, it means nothing. >>

seen the israeli prime minister in the past outmaneuver presidents, whether it's joe biden or barack obamaat proposal, as you. >> said. >> and there's the ai generated. >> bizarre video. >> on that front. i would say that i do. there it is. i do noe thing, the u. i don't think could do it anyway. but it said, listen, we're not going to put troops. we're not going to put money into this. we're simply telling you to do this. now. it's not as if the israelis haven't tried to depopulate gaza, haven't tried to get the palestinians out, haven't tried to defeat hamas. they simply haven't succeeded in doing so. and we've seen alongside that the resilience of the palestinian population. and in fact, if you wanted a recipe for further destabilizing the region and for turning jordan and egypt into frontline resistant states, then probably the best thing you could do is send a million gazans to each of those countries. so this is not something that i think we will see happen. but the very mentioning of the idea has done something important and dangerous, which is in an environment, in an atmosphere in

was on the board once on the white house correspondents association board for three years when barack obamaident. you know, there was a give and take, but i need to see this white house work with the association. they have not worked with them at the beginning when they said, we're going to change how we call on folks, they didn't talk to them about that, and they didn't talk to them about how they're going to do the pool. now, the white house needs to work with us and stop this. what is it? state one media type of atmosphere. it's got to change. >> this is what you call a slippery slope. thanks to both of you. it's great to see you both. april. ryan, always a pleasure to have you on the show. symone sanders, my colleague, the host of the weekend here on msnbc. thanks for staying late, symone. i know you've already had a long day. all right, another hour of velshi begins right now.

bush, barack obama, joe biden. two republicans is two democrats.he constitution is not something the government can play policy games with. there's the district judge from new hampshire nominated by president bush. plaintiffs are likely to suffer irreparable harm if the orders is not granted. executive order interprets the citizenship clause of the 14th amendment in a manner that the supreme court has resoundingly rejected and no court in the country has ever endorsed and finally, check out judge, nominate today the district court in massachusetts by president obama who say it is 14th amendment says nothing of the birthright citizens parents in efforts to import such consideration at the time of enactment and when the supreme court construed the text was rejected. no federal judge to my knowledge upheld this executive order against legal, tell me why you think there's such unanimity across the spectrum among the judges. he said, i've always believed that every person, person of whatever race or color who was born in the united states was a citizen

how about the following, imagine what the republican reaction would have been if bill clinton, barack obamaor joe biden said we're going to borrow $4 trillion more dollars for these tax cuts for the wealthiest among us? don't kid yourself. medicaid, 71 million americans, medicare, social security, the american people depend on these issues. i'm stunned republicans would borrow $4 trillion to justify tax cuts for wealthiest among us. by the way, people who aren't even asking for the tax cuts. their cuts will affect every part of american life, including those who need basic sustenance every day. $4 trillion and look at the alignment. $1. trillion for cuts and $1.2 trillion for tax cuts. let me figure that one out. they're going to cut medicaid to justify what it is they want to do. there's no reason why billionaires should be getting a massive tax cut. totally unnecessary. in the end, that's what this legislation is about, despite their protestations. $1,700 for a family of four. tens of millions of dollars for billionaires. that's where these tax cuts are going p. i want you also to underst

i never think of him as barack, you always hear obama so i had to think about that for a se second.said i also blame nancy pelosi. i said what about vice president? he said no, i don't blame her which is interesting. he claims those people. >> not so surprising revelation is former biden white house official admits to gas lighting americans. >> that gas lighting, there was a lot of denial of the pulling and i will use the term gas lighting because that's what they were doing, former colleagues, the message was to make sure you tell people it's too early. >> not everyone is feeling remorse. watch what former white house press secretary had to say. >> it was a firing squad and i've never seen anything like it before. i've never seen a party do that in the way that they did it was hurtful and sad to see it happening. a firing squad around a person who i believe was a true pat patriot. >> jason, gas lighting. >> more than gas lighting from a they were lying to the american people year after year and there's no cognitive decline. how many lies did they go up on the podium and put range o

barack. you know, you always hear obama. you say, you have to think about that for a second. and he said, and i also blame nancy pelosi. i said, what about the vice president? he said, no, i don't blame her. which was interesting. yeah. he didn't blame her. he blamed her. he told me he blamed those two people. >> no wonder biden's team was terrified of letting joe speak without a teleprompter. he's a loose cannon. misfires all the time. >> the president's. >> team was. >> scared to death of. impromptu, unscripted, unrehearsed, unpracticed, unchoreographed anything. they couldn't compete for the attention economy. they just couldn't do it. they didn't have any idea. and they didn't have the vessel either in biden, by the way, who would have done anything? he loves? he he loves doing stuff. he was the orbit that did not trust their candidate. >> biden's team thought he'd stick to his word and be a bridge between generations, but they were shocked to find out there were plans for a second term the second he took office. >> when i got to the white house on day one, it became pret
