remember he claimed barack obama was not born in this can'ty and he had a "extremely incredible source saying it was a fraud" and suggested ted cruz dad had smog to do with it. get involved. >> all right let's move on and talk about immigration reform. federal judge wrenching trump administration to plan vodka. he's set to put the the break on it in march. despite the ruling the president reaekted to the nusz this morning on twitter saying this it just shows how broken and unfair the court system is when opposing side runs theth circuit and almost always wins before being he reversed. >> a lot of people call it ninth circus at least on the conservative end of things an a lot of people get reversed. recordless with daca in legal limbo they won't want to push solution to dreamers that congress with agree upon. >> we must have a wall that says unequivocally that they are americans. because they are. the president who assured us in the bipartisan group of lawmakers in attendance that he was also committed to that goal. >> and now the president also seems to still find a solution in congres

bill clinton it was failure of healthcare and the budget deal. with barack obamait was obamacare, with george bush it was iraq. i don't know, and this is the question you're asking in the debate whether just sheer hatred in the democratic party for this man is the equivalent of republicans getting worked up about obamacare or bill clinton or democrats in iraq. i think it is, but on the flipside you have people saying, including the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, that's not our message. stop saying impeach. you literally have people like tom stier who is very wealthy and he was a big, he was involved in politics for environment policy and he is taken it upon himself for this need to impeach and is focused on it. i for one agree with that. i think the man has met the threshold and that's all that's important. i don't know. i think it would help tomorrow it would be a bloodbath. the biggest indicator to me of that which has been noticed is how many republicans are not running. not a week goes by where a republican, and i don't just mean junior members, people wo

if barack obama was loud, he was if bill clinton was loud, he was passionate. if hillary clinton is loud, she's grating. and that stuff. -- and that is tough. so, back to what were just talking about, i don't know what style of campaigning is going to work. it's possible that the style of campaigning is not only problematic for the hillary world, but for everybody. again, he steamrolled through the republican party. but, she is, sometimes i think this is a bad analogy because it's comparing them. but jack kennedy was more of a politician than people realized and bobby kennedy was moreof a substanceore of a person. that and irealized , think that goes for bill and clinton, the notion that smart politician in the family, she understands people. she understands what's going on. people in this room have ever been around her, or met her? or but the single thing you hear most, after people meet her is, she is nothing what i thought . which is what i thought when i interviewed with her and she's much more beautiful in person than on tv. which sounds funny because do t

, wasn't prince harry, he was interviewing barack obama, and there was an issue there about whether barack rack obama would was an issue there about whether barack obama would be invited to the wedding. so you can't have even, can you, there is a lot of ex—presidents to get through. maybe an american president has different status when it is the an american citizen who is doing the marrying. any way, speaking of that wedding, whether or not donald trump is there, and it looks like he probably won't be, the sunday times is saying, your paper peter. indeed. meghan is going to make a speech at the wedding. and no reason she shouldn't, but that is quite an interesting bit of detail ahead of the wedding. yes, presumably if trump were there, it would give her the opportunity to remetre views on his attitude. you are still a misogynist, you are still the president. it is a break with precedent. why not? it is 2018. and yes, because the expectation is her father, former hollywood lighting director is not going to speak for her. we don't learn why he is not going to, but what more can one say. it i

bill clinton, it was failure of health care and the budget deal. with barack obama, it was obamacare. with george bush it was iraq. i don't know -- this is the question you're asking -- whether just sheer hatred in the democratic party for this man is of republicans getting worked up about obamacare or bill clinton or democrats and iraq. i think it is. on the flip side, you have people saying -- including nancy pelosi -- that is not our message. you have people like tom st isr who is very wealthy and involved in politics for environmental policy. he has taken it on himself to .un the group need to impeach i agree with that. i think the man has met the threshold. i don't know. i think, if it were held tomorrow, it would be a bloodbath. the biggest indicator of that, which has been noticed is how many republicans are not running. -- and ik goes by when just don't mean junior members, but committee members. they are saying, i think it is time to retire. it is over two dozen. then you get to 2020. let's assume he is still in office. let's assume he hasn't lost his -- i

. >> how can he be at fifth as barack obama was? howie: we'll look at trump's so-called fake news award. the stormy daniels story is back as "in touch" magazine publishes a 6-year-old interview. why didn't the magazine run this until now? i'm howard kurtz and this is "mediabuzz." a tv countdown clock began days ago as journalists realized this wasn't the usual washington kabuki over the budget. we are in the second day of women's protest marches across the country and no end in sight. mara liasson, and juan williams, co-host of "the five" and guy benson. when you step up everything else away, they say they control the white house and congress. guy: of course the senate democrats have a lot of power and they are using it. mounting a filibuster with 44 votes, they only need 41. people see the gop as the anti-government party. in the past it was a republican-led effort to shut down the government. the dynamics were different but it's been better this time. i have seen top lefty activists and former white house people in the obama admin

barack obama? you know, these videos of u.s. being attacked with nuclear in n barack obama was president. hey shouldn't be blaming these tensions on president trump. it's something he inherited from president obama. david: by the way, it wasn't just movie stars. the congressional spokesman, the only congress person that exists for hawaii because it's such a small state came out and said that it was, we are somehow responsible for north korean nukes. that is if it wasn't for our belligerent aggressive behavior, they wouldn't have a nuclear arsenal. >> it's shameful that she said that. she knows better than that give her background. the u.s. isn't about to invade north korea. but if you could even make the intellectual argument that north korea's nuclear force was a deterrent, it doesn't need 60 weapons. it doesn't need a hydrogen bomb or a ballistic missile that could hit washington. i mean she should really take back those comments. david: i don't think that will happen. but they certainly were wrong. thank you very much. good to see you. >> good to be here. david: incredible catch from a

one of the original birthers and someone who helped elevate his fame by questioning whether barack obama wasorn in the united states long after anyone else was still talking about this publicly. someone who as a presidential candidate had to hold a public event where he had to swallow and say fine, fine, i believe president barack obama was actually a legitimate president. >> in a half sentence. >> in about a half sentence. when you are talking about the credibility, are you going to believe the president's half hearted denial on twitter or dick durbin on camera or other sources in that room who said this is what the president said. there is a clear credibility gap. we know this is how the president talked in the past. we know what he believes because he told us. >> we will continue including the fallout here in the united states. we are waiting to hear from the speaker of the house. we know he is going to be asked about this. two americans each sees what it wants in the president's words. my secret visitors. hallucinations and delusions. the unknown parts of living with parkinson's. what pl

we know for five years he perpetuated the racist lie that barack obama was not born in the united states of america, as part of a malicious effort to delegitimize the nation's first black president. he then rode that racist lie into the white house. he plays political footsie with people like david duke. he provided aid and comfort to neo-nazis and white supremacists in the aftermath of charlottesville. he continues to embrace the alt-right, even though he's in the middle of a fake cat fight with steve bannon. and so it's not surprising that this president would make such racially charged remarks in the oval office, but it's sad for your nation. >> house democrats, your colleagues, say they will seek a formal resolution, a censure resolution against the president over these most recent comments. do you support that effort? >> i absolutely support that effort. i was pleased to see that congressman cedric richmond, the chair of the congressional black caucus, would be leading that effort. i'm just hopeful, wolf, that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will finally decide to put d

there was a lot of racial tension during barack obama's tenure and we have racial tension now. and part of -- i was thinking just earlier to this morning about a quote from ralph ellison, the great american novelest. he said americans are notoriously selective in our exercise of historical memory and it's our on going forgotfulness the original sin of racism continues to haunt the country that keeps us on this hamster wheel. here we are now dealing with the latest consequence and that's donald trump. >> well, but eddy, let's also look at the entire portrait that's laid before us. let's not try to glaze over the bad but let's not forget the good at the same time. barack obama elected president of the united states twice. record turnout among black voters when barack obama was running. we see what happened in the state of alabama as a reaction to many things, but it was black voters that helped elect the first democrat in that state in 25 years. unemployment for black americans in 2017 much lower after eight years of barack obama. and, yes, one year of donald trump, than it was sa

when barack obama was president, they crucified him for everything he did. when he weighed in on professors in boston and made him apologize to this white police officer, made him sit down with a beer things about these everybody and everybody is just giving him a pass. that is all it is. yor said she was smarter than a white man, what did they do? they ridiculed her. trump canay this -- say this about african-americans , any africans. he went over to africa and took everything. they took their gold and robbed africa blind. and now they want to tell them they cannot come over to the united states. this is the same old, old school plan. all the black people and ship them back to africa. senators do not say nothing because they are cowards. they are scared of the white racists to come after them. that is why they are not saying nothing. they are sitting on their hands, looking down, especially the vice president. all he does is smile like a fool. host: steve is calling on our republican line from webster, massachusetts. caller: thank you for taking my call. i

when the government shuts down the last time was twenty thirteen barack obama was in office and he was largely blamed for it. okay well thank you very much indeed. other at the white house thank you so much again. we will use now he turkish defense minister said today that missiles on a kurdish control and pay the north in soil. to be shot down residuals erin okay as a small. the shelling intensified around midnight. potentially opening yet another front in the syrian civil war. to the turkish defense minister the turkish military started offensive in the african region in northwest syria on friday. targeting syrian kurdish fighters. anand thahait woud be hard accounts and everybody has some of his it out again. we have lived of course t this kind of operation is an important one it's a cross border operation and as it's being mounted we need to do whatever it takes to a certain extent. to minimize possible losses. getting and now us only unless you anchor at claims the kurdish people's protection units or ypg militia. is an extension of kurdish rebels fighting for autonomy in turkey.

when barack obama was first elected, racism, but symbolic importance was important. symbolic importance after president of the united states using this kind of language is really important. >> i think they made a really good point. gentlemen, thanks so many for joining us on this friday for our panel. i hope your weekends are a little less, you know being active. >> get off twitter and just enjoy your time. >> thank you, guys, for coming in. >> the fall out over the president's alleged comments common martin luther king, jr. proclamation day. >> this is a great, important day, martin luther king, jr., federal holiday. >> every president since ronald reagan has signed the proclamation honoring the civil rights icon, today trump praise dollars dr. king for standing up for the right of the americans. em people have been talking about the irony that the president was honoring the civil rights icon one day after reportedly making these disparaging remarks about african countries and haiti including reverend jesse jackson. >> a shame for our nation, humiliating for africa

some were flat-out lies, job growth was faster under barack obama over seven years. ast -- wage growth was faster under barack obama if you adjust for inflation or maybe about the same. even the stock market, the s&p grew faster under barack obama than it did under donald trump. again, i'm not saying the economy is bad, we're -- in a pretty good spell right now but this is after seven years of climbing out of a bad situation and again, there aren't a lot of areas, are there, where donald trump has a record that exceeds barack obama's. >> first of all, it's too early in any president to say that the president -- this president himself is responsible for what happened over the past year. i think if the economy hadn't done well, donald trump would have gotten up there and blamed barack obama, not that i had a bad first year and inherited this mess and it's still going on. gdp grew faster in the last three years of obama and your other facts are of course right as well. the declining unemployment rates and low rates for african-americans, this has nothing to do with donal

an attack on mexican immigrants and rose to political prominence by claiming, falsely, that barack obama wasn american. this latest racial controversy will doubtless please at least some of his supporters at home but it undercuts us leadership abroad and shows again how america first can mean america alone. nick bryant, bbc news, washington. president trump has warned that he'll re—impose sanctions on iran in less than four months, a move that would undermine the agreement under which tehran curbed its nuclear programme. he now wants the us and its european allies to impose new restrictions on the iranians. iran has said the deal isn't negotiable. bill hayton reports. is it goodbye to the iran nuclear deal? as president trump departed for another weekend at his florida estate, he left the fate of the 2.5—year—old agreement hanging in the air. in a statement he announced this is the last time he will hold off on reimposing major sanctions on iran, but one former american diplomat says this is just a negotiating tactic. he wants to do something to improve the environment of the agreement but h

that we're getting now how is the world any safer or how is it in any less dangerous because barack obama was very measured in what he said the fact is north korea became a bigger problem during his eight years and the rest of your question how is donald trump perceived and how does it translate i won't try to tell you how donald trump's english translates into korean but i do think that. kim thinks he's dealing with a tough guy there and calculates accordingly and i don't think that's a bad thing. but even without a translation brian to resell may in the u.k. is put off by some of the staff no i agree and i mean kind of this part of it that kind of likes it you know don't make an omelet you gotta break some eggs and i write and i love when i think that's where the president comes from i kind of like and i kind of with him on some of that but why do we go after our friends why don't we kind of bring our friends closer because it is a dangerous world so we have germany mad at us we have london england mad at us we have mexico mad at us you know when. george bush came in prayer into office the

but he tweeted he was not a "big fan" of the new building and blamed barack obama's administration for invitation for a state visit still stands, although no date has been set. our diplomatic correspondent james landale has more. the new us embassy, on the south bank of the river thames in london. a monument, we are told, to america's commitment to london that the us ambassador had hoped would be formally opened by donald trump next month. yes, i do hope, and we are going to welcome him when he comes. except that he is not coming. mr trump said that he cancelled the trip because he opposed the sale by mr obama what he called the finest embassy for peanuts. "bad deal". want me to cut ribbon? no. a decision that was welcomed by his critics. here you have the head of state of another country who has not only promoted hatred and division in his own country, but is surely, given his online activity, guilty of doing the same in our country as well. actually, the decision to sell the old embassy in mayfair was taken by president bush in order to find a new location in a time of terror. the ol

republican senator marco rubio of florida gave the opposition response five years ago when barack obama wassident. and earlier today, i talked to the senator about the battle iger immigration, which led to a government shutdown this month. ssasked him if he thinks progress is being made. >> who would have thought two years ago that conservative republicans were prepared to do a pathway to citizenship, you know? pd that's progress. and i've also seen some willingness on the part of my democratic colleagues to do more on the border. ofthink the hang-ups are some of these other issues that are there. but the progress is there is willingness across the board to get something done. but right now, aligning the gives and the takes has been difficult. >> glor: what's the biggest hang-up to a deal right now? >> i think the biggest hang-up is understanding exactly what it is we think citizenship is paired with. my-- i think my view is the white house's position is that citizen-- he's prepared to do citizenship as long he's able to riange the makeup of migration to only the nuclear family. i think man

do you remember the night of a voting that barack obama was in philadelphia with hillary clinton, supposed to be passing the torch to the next president, and then my oh my, she lost the state by less than 1%. she actually did better than expectations in philadelphia and here in pittsburgh and allegheny county outside pittsburgh. but donald trump attracted people who had not voted for a long time and blue-collar democrats. so narrowly,e won he does not take a lot of buyers remorse, does it, for him to lose the state next time. this is what democrats are hoping, but hope is not a strategy, as many have said before. interestingly, one poll today had his approval rating creeping up to 40% despite everything going on. he won with 46%, so that is not a huge gap.l these are troubling time for democrats. but definitely warning signs for him, and people who voted for him do not like the drama on social media. jane: laura, fascinating state to watch. thanks for joining us. let's have a look at the day's other news. defense secretary jim mattis says that countering major rivals like china and russia

because this the media has abandoned that ok asking hard questions is fine over eight years old barack obama was never asked one hard question u.k. not one he was given a complete free pass atelier you know and i kevin is right i mean this should be adversarial but the they treat him is the enemy ok that is very different than the how they treated like nixon or even bush go ahead steve. but they said nothing to hillary about they about the women for years and years and years that accuse bill clinton and then how hillary help treat them and that never would have been an issue today if hillary had won you're absolutely right look barack obama stood by and watched putin take crimea he stood by and he watched putin go into syria he stood by and watched you know your rainy and one go to putin he stood by and he did nothing. nearly as much as he could have done when it came to cyber security with russia and he said on a hot mike tell vladimir i'll have more leeway after the election yet it's trabant who is the putin i it's trump who is in bed with putin that's because we don't have an adversarial medi

an attack on mexican immigrants and rose to political prominence by claiming, falsely, that barack obama wasn american. this latest racial controversy will doubtless please at least some of his supporters at home but it undercuts us leadership abroad and shows again how america first can mean america alone. nick bryant, bbc news, washington. president trump has said he won't pull out of the deal aimed at curbing iran's nuclear programme for now, but it has to change. he said he would waive sanctions against tehran, lifted as part of the 2015 agreement, but would not do so again. and he warned european allies and congress that they had to work with him to fix what he called the "worst—ever" deal‘s "terrible flaws" or face us withdrawal. iran's foreign ministerjavad zarif responded on twitter, saying mr trump's policy and announcement amounted to desperate attempts to undermine a solid multilateral agreement. he added that the deal is not renegotiable. a little earlier i spoke to beh—nam tale—blu, senior iran analyst at the foundation for defense of democracies, and asked him what he made of m

whether it be the fact that barack obama was not an american, allegedly, something he withdrew in theges of the campaign. his comments on charlottesville. the way he seemed to equate antiracism protesters with the, kind of, far, far right, ku klux klan, people carrying swastikas at a demonstration in cha rlottesville. and now this. but i suspect what's different about this is that this has an international resonance. it is as though, if you accept the accounts of the meeting, and they haven't been strenuously denied by the white house, that donald trump believes they are the nato countries, the asean countries, and the shithole countries. but that has huge applications, of course, for, as you say, international relations. the african union have come out tonight, various ambassadors from other countries mentioned, and also, of course, the haitian ambassador. to what extent does this do damage to relations, or is trump aside from the ordinary american politics as far as this case? well, i think it does damage in the sense of, you know, american leadership in the world. but donald trump

facts that have long been concealed but now are coming out we're going to find out exactly why barack obama was willing to let the secretary of state operate from a secret office in new york with secret service at home and an inner washing d.c. place using secret e-mail accounts and now it seems hannele of mishandling classified information this is a very serious set of affairs that began i would argue the twenty first of january two thousand and nine so right in this time frame you're talking about in the main story we need to understand exactly what information hillary clinton but in others had and how they sent it around the world and who may have gotten access that information that's a big story how would the logistics of this work team clinton the state department as we've heard were reportedly given extra time to control revelations in terms of the law for perhaps how would washington go up by controlling any potential damage . well they would have tried now it's virtually i think impossible to control it because you've got so many elements you've got a trump administration seated now wit

obviously that was something that barack obama was front and center saying he wanted to try to close but it never was closed there are still people there that have never been charged never been tried and the president trump says that he wants to keep it open and definitely what type of message do you think he's trying to set well it's a tough on terrorism message if the key issue here is what to do with the prisoners who are there now and whether or not the trump administration would seek to bring additional prisoners there if the if there's no additional prisoners brought then it's maintaining the status quo however much the international community dislikes it. we still need to resolve the issue of the prisoners who are there now and on that issue in order to close guantanamo we will need cooperation between the united states and the international community to be willing to accept some of these prisoners because they're not going to be brought to the united states for resettlement that's obvious there's no support for that from congress or the american public all right. thank you ver

john: i think her popularity is currently about where barack obama's was when he left office, but clearly're into this now, you're going into the year 13 of what would be a 16 year term. the germans historically have had long chancellor ships. she currently is only the third longest serving chancellor. both from her party, incidentally. find an alternative. john: good point. scarlet: coming up, bitcoin tumbles 20% today. the biggest daily decline since 2015. what does that mean for selling pressures in the day to come? julia: from new york. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> bad music for bitcoin, fell 25% today on a series of crypto crack downs here it a broader january selloff with athletic download of 35%. joining us to discuss this is a irvin.erg hockey rob and we hear this is part of a speculator switching with some of the smaller cryptocurrencies, not even a ripple, but some of the smaller lesser-known ones. >> sure. one of the facts are reminded myself of here is that bitcoin -- go 32% of all cryptic currency. cryptocurrency. there are many others. many: she was saying smaller ones have gone

if you want a more intellectual answer, the black unemployment rate when barack obama took office wast 16.8, if i'm not mistaken. when barack obama left office it was in half -- >> 16.1 in 2009. it was 7.8 in january of 2007. now it's at 6.8. it was already falling. it's just fallen like -- >> what we saw -- precipitously is the s.a.t. word i would like to use, don. falling precipitously. the president of the united states, the 44th president of the united states, put in policies that actually saw the night rate for people across -- the unemployment rate for people across the spectrum, black, white, and otherwise, to see the unemployment rate specifically in the african-american community decline. we also saw wages going up. for the president to take -- for the 4 5th president to take credit for this like he took credit for flight safety last week and the fact that we didn't have any plane crashes. that's not him. that's not his -- that's not -- he didn't do that. i mean, the next thing he's going to do is take credit for the moon and sun, you know, the sun rising and the moon circlin

barack obama was teflon. even if this photo got out, it wouldn't have changed anything. jesse: it's photographic evidence, everybody knows farakan. i think we have some highlights. >> the satanic jews. they control everything and mostly everybody. don't let this white man tell you that violence is wrong. he's worthy to be hated. jesse: he was running against mccain at the time and we had the stock market crash. but this was explosive. this was more than reverend wright, more than bill ayres. i think this was pretty bad. >> don't celebrities and senators take photos with a lot of people? jesse: you don't want to see some of the photos i have taken. but they could be problematic if i was running for president. i was young. let me ask you about this. nikki haley. she is the u.n. ambassador. this guy wolf, he puts out this thing in the book and he's trying to make some scurrilous allegation that there was an affair going on with president trump and someone else. he mentioned it on the bill maher show. >> there is something in the book that it was absolutely sure of by the wa

these hollywood hypocrites when their own ideologue was in office, where was their outrage when barack obama was sending hundreds of millions of dollars to iran on unmarked planes to iran to finance terrorists. or gave $200 million to the plo and $4 million to the plo to study climate change. where were they when hezbollah was engaging in drug trafficking to the united states and killing americans so obama could dance with the devil in iran and send him $150 billion. where was hollywood's outrage when the president allowed the sale of 20% of our uranium used by others to make nuclear bombs and mollie 99. what was it -- what was in it for obama for his silence. and where was the outrage when obama couldn't stop apologizing for america's alleged seasons. instead, our president, the man who improves our economy, reduces unemployment, brings the stock market to historic highs, passes tax reform, adding $2 million to our economy. building up the military, eliminates the individual mandate and in spite of being an accused racist, has brought unemployment for black americans to record lows. to the hate

the key thing for me was not targeting barack obama. cause barack obama was not really the root here. and i think that for the democrats, they need to understand it may not be donald trump as the root per se. maybe in some cases, but they'll have to be able to translate that down to get, as we saw in alabama, republicans to do something that goes against their nature. and that is to vote for a democrat. >> jon -- >> okay. good luck with that. >> best of luck. >> question, though. you have seen democrats approach this in some cases a little differently. i feel like the experimentation with the messaging is in the early phases. there are many in the liberal democratic base who are saying absolutely you will not work with trump or say a word about anything positive about him at all. but on the other hand, tim kaine in virginia will say, if you ask him, i'll work with the president where i need to. in arizona, kirsten cinema is starting to make those arguments. in some cases, i'll work with the president. where do you think that goes. how is

and when barack obama was in power, look what the democratic leaders had to say, you have chuck schumerruz was holding cancer patients hostage, defending obamacare, nancy pelosi, a legislative arsonist trying to burn the place down and barack obama himself, you cannot refight the election results once they happened and that is what democrats are doing. jillian: for sticking point we have been talking about is the daca deal, democrats what a separate clean daca deal, what you think? the republicans don't even have -- >> you make the best point. the things they are hearing are crazy. let me give everybody a civics 101 listen in washington dc, there are 248 republicans in congress, 192 democrats, 54 republicans in the senate, 45 democrats control nothing. republicans want to fund the government, they don't need one single democratic vote to do this. they cannot put any of this on democrats, no part of this operation. jillian: is that why they don't seem willing to talk about the issues when it comes to border security, chain migration, the visa lottery program? listen to what cory booker d

-- you know the trade deficit was higher in donald trump's first year than it was in all eight years you should barack obamae was going too help pennsylvania by driving down the trade deficit. higher in donald trump's first year than it was in all eight years under barack obama. that, of course, from "forbes" magazine which, as we all know this morning, is the president's magazine of choice for certain activities. >> joe, that trade thing can't be true because he's the deal maker, he's the economics president. so that cannot possibly be true, joe. >> well, you know, i would think that, too because he was going to stand up to china and instead, of course, he retreated from asia and we didn't even get a tpp deal that was going to allow us to compete more effectively but he got us out of that deal, he's doing everything he can 20 help china and that's why the trade deficit which just absolutely slams western pennsylvania, the trade deficit has punished the good people of western pennsylvania since the early 1980s, that this president has had the highest trade defic deficit of the last eight years. so that mean
