well brock obama be elected it was a change they made first the first time ever vote and you know it's katie and i know but it's also what made me feel included and when he won it gave us all hope that that was even possible even for him to be so eloquent in the way you know period of some social for gave us a great example of a male and it empowered a lot of his a lot of his our scholars male social will based on if in the eight years of barack obama more and more and more positive things happen for african-americans in america praise god. now my question is and you can if we if that were true for chicago how did the alignments get worse if that positive stuff was happening at the same time violence always existed but is there course. the president is just a person that is in a position that we see this approach that we get to pick on the souls which we can point to say he's the problem but there are greater powers in control of things so so black slaves for five hundred years we so-called free for a little bit over one hundred. years the dam is not going away and g.'s in the gammas g

like him that's because a lot of people don't like him to be clear that would also been true if brock obama had googled himself but conservatives in the us are pushing back it's basically an intergalactic invasion. people they point to the recent removal of controversy all right wing radio host alex jones from facebook you tube and spotify private tech companies say they're legally within their rights to ban offensive content critics say. there's silencing dissent some republican members of congress are even arguing today's big tech companies are monopolies in the marketplace and should be regulated to foster political debate from all sides a move the white house now appears to be considering all right still to come on counting the cost i'm florence lee in state malaysia where the demand for land development and biofuels is threatening not just forests but a way of life. but first argentina's currency continues to fall despite central bank raising the key interest rate to sixty percent the highest in the world labor unions are planning walk ounce and students have been on the streets over u

day after politicians across the political divide attended his funeral service former presidents brock obama george w. bush and bill clinton while bunks those at the service in washington d.c. gabriel is older as well. a farewell to a giant of american life a man who served his country in war and in politics for over a half century more than two thousand invited guests at the national cathedral at the memorial service of senator john mccain. some of the most powerful people of american political life were present to pay their respects president donald trump was not there mccain's family did not invite him at the memorial service nobody spoke trump's name but it was hard to miss their repudiation of his politics while channeling mccain's spirit the america of john mccain has no need to be made great again because america was always great thanks so much of our politics a public life or public discourse can seem small and mean and petty it's a politics that pretends to be brave and tough but in fact is born of fear john called on us to be bigger than that george w. bush spoke of mccain's courag

bush thank you so much for your time joe we appreciate it so you could be with the speech friday brock obama called out donald trump by name which is extremely rare we've talked about that now going forward he's on the campaign trail but in some sort of perspective what it is for a former president to go on the campaign trail. well it's very unusual for a former president to go on the campaign trail. right after his presidency is now so rock obama's term ended in december of two thousand and sixteen where january twenty seventh fish really and here it is in twenty eighteen years on the campaign trail for democrats he's doing that in part because dollars jumpers really called out the obama administration and worked hard to overturn a lot of the obama policies and so i think barack obama feels a real need to respond to trump and especially given the fact that in the midterm elections democrats stand a very very good chance in recapturing the house of representatives so do you think that this will have a positive effect and the passon barack obama has not always done very well on campaigning du

was many of you know, recently brock obama couldn't resist.ly great news for our side. during his white house tenure, his loss over 1000 seats including the house, the senate, the white house and now liberal control over supreme court, you have to go back to the watergate era of nixon administration to a time of one political party lost some any races. so i say welcome back rock. [applause] how hard could it be to contempt nazis? i would ask obama, how hard could it be to condemn radical islamic terrorist? [applause] one of the leading terrorism experts in the world, providing information on the rise of global as islamic terrorism. about terrorism and current affairs, her expertise is widely sought after by world and business leaders, she's a new york times best selling author of three books, the latest of which is rise in defense of judeo-christian values and freedom. so we'll do a book siding after our afternoon sessions today, she speaks arabic, french and hebrew but i can only introducer in english. so ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to

obama. i want to talk to you a bit about what's going on right now with the hurricane. first i want to get your reaction to what brock long said this weekend on "meet the press" when he was talking about the very concept of induced deaths after natural disaster like we saw in puerto rico, the george washington university finding 3,000 sort of elevated casualties, right? and basically saying, look, you can't pin that on the president. people die for all sorts of reasons after an emergency. >> well, first of all, it may surprise some people to know that there is no one way for fema to count a death toll after a natural disaster. there are direct deaths and indirect. so, an example of a direct casualty, a direct death is someone who literally drouwns during a flood or hurricane. >> correct. >> an indirect death is an extended power outage like we had in puerto rico, someone's on some form of medical treatment like a dialysis machine, and dies as a result of a lack of treatment from the dialysis machine because of the power outage. and so the g.w. report which you just referred to attributes something like 2,t975 deaths

fugate, the head of fema under obama, he didn't, you know, drive down to florida where he had, you know, family using a government vehicle and government aides, and brockt that he put government aides up in hotel rooms during personal weekends, that's a question of misusing government resources, and so you really don't need a chevy suburban to carry a large cell phone from washington to north carolina most weekends. >> i guess it depends how large the cell phone actually is. thank you very much. i appreciate you coming on the show. we're going to wrap up our broadcast as always with today's big picture. this one, we showed you a little bit of it before the break. it comes from the emmys. the most talked about moment, not an award in the traditional sense, but this really cute and special moment. check it out, director glenn weiss getting on one knee proposing to his partner while giving his acceptance speech. he's the guy that directed the oscars actually. he teed it up by saying you wonder why i don't like to call you my girlfriend, because i want to call you my wife. she walked up, she got proposed to. the audience flipped out. the photographer on th

brock. ambassador carla hills served in the george h.w. bush administration. schwab served in the george w. bush administration. and ron kirk served in the obama administration. we have basically 35 years of trade and negotiating experience here, and i want to take advantage of it. the first issue, to really begin with the big picture, the president has taken the country in a different direction on trade. we can talk about whether that is a wise direction or not later. but let's begin with weather you guys think this is a one-off thing that will go away when he is not president anymore or whether you think this is the beginning of a long-term shift in american thinking toward more managed trade, more protection. i think if you are an historian, you would say it would be a step back to what the country used to be 100 years ago. are we reverting or is this a temporary phenomenon? senator, do you want to begin? i am not sure i have the gift of prophecy so i don't know for sure where we are headed. i do think we are in a way sort of going back to the days when we talked about international trade as if it related only to manufactured goods. we seem

before been invoked to brock -- blocked the release of presidential records to the senate during a supreme court nomination. in fact, when elena kagan was nominated, president obamanced he would not invoke executive privilege over any of her white house records. when john roberts was nominated president bush announced he would not invoke executive privilege over any of his white house records. when justice rehnquist was nominated the committee refused to go forward with hearings until the white house produced records over which it initially indicated it might claim privilege. by contrast, the trump white house is withholding thousands of pages of brett kavanaugh's records from congress, and admits it's doing so without actually asserting a legal privilege. of the taking advantage unprecedented process used by republicans to rush this nomination through the senate with just a fraction of the nominees records. the white house is now asserting it can withhold whatever document it wants without formally invoking executive privilege. this entire process has cast a cloud over judge kavanaugh's nomination. democrats strongly object to moving forward when so much of his
