but i covered the white house for bloomberg news, and when i was there, i had a lunch with michelle obama and about a a dozen other reporters, mostly women, who covered the east wing. and at this lunch that was to promote the let's move campaign, she made an offhand remark about president obama finally kicking his smoking habit. and that became the huge headline from this lunch. and that also made me think, you know, the whole lunch was very staged, and she was really not very -- you know, it was something that was meant to promote this signature issue, and the one offhand, kind of honest comment she made totally overtook the whole point of the lunch. so that also made me think about the limitations placed on these women, the pressure put on them. they are constitutionally required to be perfect. [laughter] it's really an incredible job. when i interviewed steve ford, betty ford's son, he said my mother wasn't perfect. she said she was an ordinary woman in an extraordinary time. and i think it's their imperfection and humanity that makes them so compelling and interesting. and without the

michelle obama the first lady of the united states expected to get on stage any second. in fact we're told she is in the building here at lasalle university and so are a about two or 3,000 people. in fact we just heard from the fire marshal. he is not allowing anyone else inside of this auditorium. now, of course, this is the second day we've seen a campaign stop for hillary clinton here in pennsylvania. yesterday vice-president joe biden arrived at drexel university in front of a much smaller crowd around 500 people. you can see here once again many more folks gathered here to hear the first lady speak. this is a very important stop for both parties. that's because this is a swing state, pennsylvania, that is,

her father was american but i cover the of white house with bloomberg news i have bunch with michelle obama and it doesn't other reporters who cover the east wing and at this lunch it was spent to promote the let's move campaign on anniversary she made an offhand remark about president obama finally kicking his smoking habit and that became the huge headline from the lunch to make me think the rest of the lunch was very staged and meant to promote this signature issue and the one offhand comment that she made totally overtook the whole point of the ones thatls made me think the pressure put on these women there constitutionally required to be perfect. [laughter] it is in incredible job when i interviewed betty ford said he said my mother was a perfect she was an ordinary woman and an extraordinary time. it is there a humanity that makes them so compelling without them their husbands would not have been elected i start with jackie kennedy mostly because i wanted to interview people that wereo still alive i interviewed a wonderful woman ladybird johnson social secretary there remembers the re

i had a lunch with michelle obama and at this lunch that was meant to promote the let's move campaign she made an off-hand remark about president obama finally kicking his smoking habit and that became the huge headline from this lunch and that also made me think the whole lunch was staged an she was really not very, you know, it was something that was meant to promote the signature issue and the honest comment she made totally overtook the whole point of a lunch and so that also made me think about the limitations placed on the women, the pressure put on them and their constitutionally required to be perfect. [laughter] >> it's incredible job, when i interviewed steve ford, my mother wasn't perfect. she was an ordinary woman in an extraordinariy time. it's their imperfection and humanity that makes them compelling and interesting and without these women their husbands wouldn't have been elected and that's almost to a person and i start the book with jackie kennedy, mostly because i wanted to interview people who were still a live and talked to people who were there. i interviewed a w

i think we have michelle obama here on stage. >> and let's just go straight to michelle obama. this is her first event since the convention. her first official campaign event for hillary clinton. >> hey! how are you guys doing? wow. thank you, guys. look at you. my goodness. oh, my goodness. well, let's get started here. you guys have been standing up for awhile, right? so let's start talking about some stuff. first of all, let me just say, i'm thrilled to be here today to support the next president and vice president of the united states, hillary clinton and tim kaine. yes! i have to do a few thank yous before we go in. i want to thank henry for that wonderful introduction, for sharing his story i want to thank all of the members of congress who were here today representatives bobby scott jerry connelly, and i also want to recognize our outstanding dnc chair, donna brazil. i hear she lit it up. and i want to thank charity for her fabulous remarks. and of course, i have to recognize another great first lady, virginia right here, dorothy, who is here so glad she can join us and

michelle obama is 25, 15. the president 40. these are, they are liked. as i said even republicans have a lot of respect for mrs. obama and actually for the first family, whatever they think of their policies. they're a good, decent family. in having them out there contrast to be honest somewhat less appealing family of the clintons. sandra: reminded me of colin powell email leak and all wonderful things we learned about hillary clinton, her thoughts on the obamas there. when you watch this and michelle obama authentic as genuine as she looks it stays in the back of your mind that rift is still there and this is not all good and nice between the two families. so i don't know if the american voter looks at that and can take that to heart knowing the things they have continued to say about each other. >> people distinguish between michelle obama, how they respect her and hillary clinton and frankly the views they have of her. i don't think it makes people think, yeah, michelle obama likes her, i must toot. harris: there is distinguishing element between mic

michelle obama. >> in virginia, michelle obama confronting trump at her first solo campaign appearancere were those who questioned and continue to question for the past eight years, up through this very day, whether my husband was even born in this country. >> the first lady, one of the most popular figures in polit s politics, helping a former first lady and making clear she's personally invested in keeping the white house in democratic hands. >> no one in our lifetime has ever had as much experience and exposure to the presidency, not barack, not bill, as he would say, nobody, and, yes, she happens to be a woman. >> she's one of many democratic stars hitting the campaign trail, a highlight reel from the party's convention last month fanning out across the country. to fire up liberals e elizabeth warren and bernie sanders heading to ohio this weekend. on cnn's "new day," offering sharp words to any followers who are strong on clinton. >> anybody who supports me, do not think that donald trump in any way, shape, or form, reflects the point of view that i have. >> clinton is trying to r

we got bernie sanders and tim kaine and the first lady, michelle obama. >> because we know that being president is not anything like reality tv. it is not an apprenticeship and it is not just about fiery speeches or insulting tweets. it is about whether someone can handle the awesome responsibility of leading this country. >> also, campaigning tonight, chelsea clinton and in an interview just out this hour, chelsea was asked about donald trump saying he decided not to mention her father's scandal at the debate on tuesday night after he saw chelsea sitting in the crowd. >> this is how chelsea responded to that. she says, "it is a distraction from his in ability to talk about what's at stakes and i don't remember a life in my life where my parents were not attacked." >> meanwhile, donald trump is on double duty tonight, he's got two events still to go while mike pence is handling ohio. >> trump campaign has not been reacting well on comments. he's doubling down on comments he made about the weight of the former miss universe and more reactions that happened on this show, no apologies on

michelle obama hits the campaign trail for hillary clinton and warns donald trump that being president is not anything like reality tv. the first lady slams trump for his birther campaign and what she calls his cruel and insulting comments about women. >>> food fight. trump goes after a former beauty queen who says he publicly shamed her for gaining weight. with aides worried about the next debate, is trump's campaign getting side-tracked. >>> two children and a teacher shot in an elementary school in south carolina. the suspected gunman, a teenager. what was he doing in the school and how much worse could the attack have been? >>> putin problem. new concern that russian cyberattackers are targeting cellphones here in the united states. president vladimir putin is said to have thousands of hackers working for him, and with growing tension over russia's aggression in syria, how big a threat does putin pose to this country? >>> i am wolf blitzer. you are in "the situation room." >>> a stunning defeat for president obama today. for the first time congress has overridden his veto of a bill

michelle obama going back to college. you might want to say lasalle university where all of the political action will be today. of course, we know pennsylvania is the state that both campaigns are trying when hillary clinton putting a lot of boots on the ground here, michelle obama will rally, with hillary clinton supporters, which will likely include a big number of college student here at lasalle university gola arena. the campaign says michelle obama will layout what's at steak in this election, and will continue the clinton campaign's push, a critical push, to register voters ahead of the october 11 deadline. now, it was the same reason vice president joe biden stomped for the clinton-cane ticket yesterday, which happened to be national voter registration day, of course, we know biden took some swipes at donald trump, and his policy proposals, that could happen here, of course, at lasalle university when michelle obama comes through. she has been talking about presidential character, the presidential character of her

tonight, stephen welcomes first lady michelle obama. and america ferrera. featuring jon batiste and stay human. and now, from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert!

[ cheers and applause ] well, let's get started here. you guys have been standing up for a while, right? so let's start talking about some stuff first of all, let me just say, i am thrilled to be here today to support the next president and vice president of the united states, hillary clinton and tim kaine. yes. i have to do a few thank yous before we go in. i want to thank henry for that wonderful introduction, for sharing his story. i want to thank all the members of congress who were here today, representatives bobby scott, jerry connolly, and i also want to recognize our outstanding dnc chair donna brazile.

this is really a michelle obama who does not like to go on the campaign trail. e's been reluctant in the past to really go into the political realm, but her aids say she is all about defending president obama and trying to do as much as she can to help hillary clinton go into the white house and win. her favorables are much higher than the president's and hillary clinton. and she's trying to appeal to young people. she said in that speech that there are some people who maybe aren't as enthusiastic, but she's telling people i'm very enthusiastic. she's really trying to tell people, this is not a time to sit out. he she's really trying, i feel like she was very energized by today's news. >> it seems like she enjoyed campaigning today. let's listen to the way she sold the clinton candidacy to her audience today. >> hillary has been a lawyer, a law professor, first lady of the united states, a u.s. senator, secretary of state, do you hear me? see, that's why i'm inspired by hillary. i'm inspired by her consistent and persistence, and her life-long record of public se

there are some people out on the trail for them and they have to be pretty careful, but michelle obama, i think they want her out there as much as possible. she's really someone they can try to solve this obama coalition problem. they have from the beginning had trouble figuring out how to turn out particularly latin american voters. i talked to millennials again. there were some who supported hillary clinton. i talked to several who didn't plan to vote at all. they didn't like hillary clinton, one called her a liar, but they showed up and waited in line for several hours to see michelle obama. they are getting to her. they are able to talk to an audience that otherwise isn't willing to listen. the question is can she get to enough of these cities in time. >> we thank kasie hunt for all her hours today. i happen to know the highlight of her day was scoring h.c. steak in philadelphia. kasie hunt from our washington bureau. >>> when we come back, some surprising endorsements in this campaign for president. >>> and even senator ted cruz endorsed me the other day, and i know the people of

this is not michelle obama campaigning for her husk husband.ning for a different woman. and this is an unusual circumstance. some of which she's aiming at is not just generating a yong you are voter base but trying to eliminate stories that i think you are goic to see more of we've seen through the last several years so sort of whispers of contention or remaining lingering bad blood between obamas and clinton asks she's making clear that is not true. and don't believe it if you hear that coming forward. >> thanks up next for us donald trump and ivanevaivana trump re this week to settle with my moderate to severe crohn's disease,... ...i was always searching for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i had it covered. then i realized managing was all i was doing. when i finally told my doctor, he said humira was for people like me who have tried other medications,... but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief... ...and many achieve

they've got to -- they need them. >> they can't be called to vote. >> and when you have michelle obamathere, it kind of harks back to the obama coalition, i think, when young people did come out and support him. and they may be a little lukewarm about hillary clinton, but they'll come to see michelle obama. >> she said, hillary inspires me. i thought that might be the lead. because hillary doesn't inspire everybody. >> keep in mind, you said the 64% approval rating, i bet it's a lot higher in the crowds she want her to hit. >> why is michelle popular among college kids? >> she's charming, energetic, african-american, raised these two terrific kids. >> she seems very youthful. >> very, very hip in popular culture. >> very fashionable. >> she's gone on game shows. she knows the lingo. she has two teenage daughters. she knows the latest dances and music. >> she's pals with ellen. you know, who's not? >> and oprah. and bey, and jay-z. >> the roundtable is sticking with us. up next -- >> i want video of that. >> it's available. this is "hardball," the place for politics. protecting biodiver

michelle obama is in a unique position.he does not have appear among the other surrogates and advocates for hillary clinton. she's in some ways an a political figure. i talked to some people don't plan to vote for hillary clinton but they really wanted to come in here and see michelle obama. that's really the challenge that the clinton campaign has right now with pennsylvania. pennsylvania is really important. if they win the state here, they'll win pennsylvania. it is difficult for donald trump to get 270 electoral college vote he would need. the hillary clinton was here making a speech to millenials and michelle obama today and vice president joe biden and we were hearing from the president of the united states and making sure pennsylnia does not switch into that column. of course, as we have seen on the debate stanl over tge over couple of days is important on this race trying to win over. >> we expect to see the first lady coming up next in pittsburgh. cas kasie hunt, thank you very much. >> we keep a close eye on new h

i think, you know, to the point about michelle obama said about going high.american people, the ones that are going to help decide this election because there are a lunch p bunch of committed voters who aren't going to move but those who are going to move, they want to see someone in the oval office who has a vision to better their lives. that plays into secretary clinton's strengths. help is incapable, as we saw in that debate. of articulating policy vision for the country. why he degenerates into these personal attacks. if if i was governor dean, i wouldn't have gone there. personally, i think we're better than that. >> chris, thank you, sir, come back soon. >> thanks, craig. >> you mentioned michelle obama. she hit a home run for hillary clinton at the democratic national convention. can she reignite that kind of enthusiasm on the campaign trail? the first lady back in philly today. we'll go there live next. before taking his team to state for the first time... gilman: go get it, marcus. go get it. ...coach gilman used his cash rewards credit card from ban

michelle obama will be speaking on the campaign trail and a lot of focus would what the first lady will have covered the obama presidency, both obamas for a long time. what can we expect from her at 3:00? >> the you know the first lady joined the democratic national convention. she received the most percentage points as far as ratings for her speech and then bernie sanders. she is a rock star on the road whether touchdown is by herself on her issues, supporting her husband and now for hillary clinton. she is a strong person for the party when it comes to, for the democratic party. when it comes to bringing in millennials and black women. people relate to her. she is relatable. hillary clinton has heart but she is not necessarily a politician. many people are saying after the democratic convention speech, michelle obama could actually run for something but i don't think she wants to. hillary clinton needs michelle obama who could possibly in a side caveat, being snarky in a cute way, she may even bring that up on the campaign trail today about what donald trump said. i mean, she is very

including the president, answering our reporter, and first lady michelle obama, coming out swinging. tom llamas leading us off. >> reporter: today, in less than 30 seconds, donald trump abandoned the conspiracy theory he spent more than five years pushing so hard. >> president barack obama was born in the united states. period. >> reporter: and trump, accusing birther movement. >> hillary clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. i finished it. >> reporter: clinton and her campaign did no such thing. trump today refusing to take any questions from reporters. >> mr. trump, why did it take so long? >> reporter: he did not explain what finally convinced him. and he did not apologize to the president. for years, the birther conspiracy was trump's signature issue. >> if he wasn't born in this country, which is a real possibility, then he has pulled one of the great cons in the history of politics. >> reporter: it propelled him to the forefront of american politics. >> i want him to show his birth certificate. >> reporter: in 2011, when the white house did release th

michelle obama did it for her.trump did it for her, as well. >> a lot of people already think today could be a turning point in this election. but we shall see. be sure to watch cnn later tonight with don lemon, 10:00 p.m. eastern, he will have a lot more on this very subject. we're counting down also to the first presidential debate. hillary clinton and donald trump faceoff on monday september 26th. you will see them live of course right here on cnn. >>> also coming up, we get new details about a u.s. drone strike that killed another top isis leader. 're constantly goingr our data limit. oh, well, now - all of our new plans come with no data overages. wow, no more overages? so that means... go on...say it... we'll finally be in control... and we're back... introducing new at&t plans with no data overage charges. so we know how to cover almost alanything.ything, even mer-mutts. (1940s aqua music) (burke) and we covered it, february third, twenty-sixteen. talk to farmers. we know a thing or two because we've seen a

here is a live look where michelle obama will appear on behalf of hillary clinton. virginia. virginia is certainly a battle ground state stopping by george mason university there. obama who delivered a well received speech there in july could be one of clinton's most effective surrogates. as we look at gallup polling, she has the highest rating of political spouses at 64%. she gave passionate remarks about donald trump and what he has meant to spear heading the birther movement and a direct reference talking about barbs toward her or her family saying when people go low, we go high. joining me from washington for the chicago sun times. somebody who has written senten extensively is lynn sweet. what is it about michelle obama as we look at the gallup polling number, 64%. highest political rating of a political spouse. >> she has spent more than 7 years working on her brand. she has side stepped controversy. she is allergic to controversy and my guess is, tom, she is probably not necessarily wanting to address full heartedly the birther controversy. she might allude to

michelle obama is a pretty unique messenger.ampaign feels like she doesn't have a peer when it comes to being someone who can go out and try and convince people to vote for clinton. she's somebody who's very popular. she's a relatively apolitical figure. she obviously doesn't hold elected office and, you know, she's proven, democrats feel, that she can really inspire people. we saw the speech she gave at the democratic national convention that really reached quite a few people. i saw her at a campaign event in virginia earlier this year. she really has kind of gotten into a groove on the campaign front in a way that, you know, we didn't even see necessarily as often and especially in 2008 when her husband was still starting out. so this state is the fire wall for democrats. just in the last couple of weeks hillary clinton, joe biden, michelle obama, president obama, they've all been here in philadelphia. that should tell you just how important it is. steph? >> thanks, casey. >>> coming up, another big name, political stud, one c

this is obviously a personal issue for michelle obama and her family. we have seen her approach this. this is the second time i have been on the campaign trail with her. the day she first appeared at a solo event for hillary clinton was the day of the press conference donald trump gave. we were watching carefully to see how she would approach what he had to say about the president's birth certificate. she sharpened those remarks today but michelle obama still doesn't use donald trump's name when she goes after him. it's a signal that she's trying to be a little bit apolitical. that's part of her value to the clinton campaign. they feel she is an advocate that speaks to a wider group, who is enormously popular. it sounds like she's developing something of a standard stump speech. we heard a lot of similar things that we did at the earlier event in virginia. of course philadelphia, very important for both suburban women in the philadelphia area as well as for african-american voters. i do think we have highlights from that speech. i think i'm supposed to

will converge on lasalle university wednesday, the event takes place at the tom gola arena michelle obama talk about the presidential character of her husband president obama and were she feels hillary clinton is the right person to succeed her husband. that president starts at noon tomorrow. of course, the vice-president's nominees will have their turn tim kaine mike pence get their one and only debate on the tuesday october 4th in virginia but back to this main event, the vice-president biden, the doors will opened here at drexel university main building, at the great court area at 9:00, the event is at 10:45 this morning. back to you. >>> hopefully rain lets up for that. >> reporter: hopefully it does. >> absolutely. >>> one man is dead, two others are in the hospital after a triple shooting in germantown. >>> monk wounded a teenager. this morning philadelphia police are trying to figure out who shot who. sabina kuriakose joins us live from police headquarters, sabina, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. really disturbing injuries here. we're told that the young man died a 20 year

. >> michelle obama's passport and other documents revealed by white house hackers. >> plus, the candidates get in last mbt jabs before squaring off this monday. "early today" starts right now. good morning, i'm dara brown. >> i'm frances rivera. overnight protesters marched for a third straight evening. this time, it was more tame and from enforcing it. throughout the city, you would see armored trucks, national guardsman and officers dressed in riot gear. protesters remained vigilant and calm, sometimes chanting, sometimes silently walking the streets vowing to stand their ground. >> don't brush it off as we want to riot. kids are out here, mothers, fathers. they're not out here because there's something going on. stop killing my people. >> that's not how the area congressman saw it when he made these controversial remarks. >> the anger, they hate white people because white peek are successful and they are not. yes, it is. it's a welfare state. >> he has since apologized saying, quote, i apologize to those i offended and hope we can bring peace and calm to charlotte. demanding change whil

hours from now, michelle obama will be in virginia urging people to vote. it will be mrs. a's campaign trail debut. and hillary clinton is hoping she will invigorate her campaign, just as she did the democratic national convention. >> there is only one person who i trust with that responsibility, only one person who i believe is truly qualified to be president of the united states, and that is our friend, hillary clinton. >> mrs. obama reached high approval ratings. with her charm and popularity and she has the cred for millennials. a recent shopping trip with ellen to car pool karaoke. >> that's my song. >> this is it? ♪ this is for my girls all around the world ♪ ♪ stand up put your head up >> all right so let's talk about this with me now myra guten. welcome. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> so i was wondering, is this a first? has a first lady ever campaigned for her husband's replacement? >> not to the best of my knowledge. first ladies have campaigned for senatorial campaigns, they've been in the field to back congressional candidates. but not their husband's form

meanwhile, michelle obama tonight not holding back against trump. >>> good evening. and we begin tonight with the horror playing out inside an elementary school in south carolina. a teenager walking into the school with a gun. authorities believe he had just shot his father dead at home. then, going to the school playground, opening fire at townville elementary. teachers trying to help. and then, the anguish outside. parents rushing to the scene after being alerted there had been a shooting at t abc's steve osunsami is on the scene tonight. >> move that patient towards the helicopter. >> reporter: cell phones in the pockets of frightened parents across this small town starting burning up at 1:45 p.m., just before the end of classes for the day at townesville elem elementary. >> we did have a report of a third patient. >> reporter: police say a local teenager armed with handgun teachers and children. >> there were some students in recess area, shooting may have occurred there, teacher may have helped students into the classroom. >> reporter: a young boy was shot in th

most powerful weapons, first lady michelle obama, in pennsylvania. and she did not hold back on the trump. here's abc's cecilia vega. >> hey! >> reporter: she is hillary clinton's secret weapon. >> hillary is tough. >> reporter: and today, first lady michelle obama fired a shot directly at donald trump, going after him for questioning where her husband was born. >> hurtful, deceitful questions, deliberately designed undermine his presidency. questions that cannot be blamed on others or swept under the rug by an insincere sentence uttered at a press conference. let me take a moment. >> reporter: now in a starring role on the campaign trail after her convention speech that brought down the house. both obamas speaking directly to young voters at a time when more than half of them say they aren't even certain they will vote for trump. if you vote for a third party candidate who has got no chance to win, that's a vote for trump. >> reporter: with 41 days to go, clinton calling on an army of her famous friends. clinton with her former rival bernie sanders

barack obama and michelle obama are doing such sort of intense campaigning and surrogate work on their behalf almost as if it's barack obama's campaign all over again. i mean, we have a straight to camera ad from michelle obama doing what you would expect from, like, you know, a senate candidate on behalf of hillary clinton, because of how effective they can be, for millennials and african-americans. >> the question, trump has no such backup band, if you will. no high-powered republicans. both former presidents, bush, aren't for him. most other republicans are tolerating or running from him, one or the other. not embrace him happily. does it matter in this campaign? a new michelle obama ad, you mentioned, looking straight at the camera, what kind of president do you want for your daughter? the ad up on the tv. a good communicator. 2007, 2008, showed doesn't like this. the president, bernanke this morning on the steve harvey show, no question, he takes this personally. >> if there's one message i want to deliver to everybody, if you don't vote, that's a vote for trump. >> wow if you don

at la salle university, michele obama previewing what's 45ed. >> this is a bittersweet time for me. because we're engaged in a time of great transition for me, for barack,mal lehia and sasha, even bo. >> before president obama got elected, i didn't even think it was possible for a person of our skin complexion to be able to get, to be able to achieve such a high office. >> we personally trust michelle and barack and they have death made an impact on my future and if they choose secretary clinton, then i do as well. >> it's a powerful message for hillary clinton. >> pennsylvania, experience matters, preparation matters, temperatu temperament matters and hillary clinton has it all. >> and her words on the wall, when they go low, we go high. the first lady chose not to use donald trump's name in her speech. >> we know that being president isn't anything like realty tv. it is not an apprenticeship, and it is not just about fiery speeches or sulting tweets, it's about whether somebody can handle the awesome responsibility of leading this country. >> reporter: but you can bet this crowd kn
