obama surges from behind to win iowa. michelle's months on the stump pay off. now the couple must confront a new kind of challenge. >> there were concerns about his security that were very real and very dark. >> barack obama is given a security detail earlier than any other presidential candidate in history. >> there was a resignation in the black community that you cannot rise up without being shot down. >> we've seen what has happened to iconic black leaders in america. >> med gar evers, malcolm x, dr. king. if you come from the black community, almost every hero you read about was killed, and only michelle, who certainly had more to lose than the rest of us in the risk he was taking, could reassure people that it was worth the risk. >> we need a barack obama presidency right now. [ cheers ] >> she would go in a room and she wouldn't leave the room until every single person in that room was committed. but because she was so effective, she came under attack. >> hope is making a comeback. it is making a comeback. and for the first time in my adult lifetime, i'm

michelle obama. >> hi, everyone.re digging up soil because we're about to plan a garden. >> get some shovels. let's go! >> i came to help do dinner but also help her develop a big health initiative. when you have one in three kids on track to have diabetes in their lifetime. it doesn't matter what we do with health care if we don't solve that side of the problem. and regardless with step one, when we were doing our first planting, you could hear all the cameras clicking constantly. she looked at me like, this better work. >> there they are. it's all pretty cute. we're all in favor of healthy eating. is this really the best way for the first lady to use her considerable influence? >> let's move! let's move! >> now to first lady michelle obama. she's out promoting her let's move campaign and taking the motto to heart. >> every time we saw her jumping rope, hula hooping, all those things, they were very strategic ways that we were weaving in these values in our culture. >> instead of just talking about this problem and

as far as calling donald trump a racist, shame on you, michelle obama. tell us what obama did.d trump has given positive reform for black america, historical black colleges, low unemployment rate, she will call him a racist and not count what obama did because he did nothing for black people and just because she is black, that doesn't give her credibility. she lost credibility today, sean by pressing that video. >> sean: i have a question, why didn't barack and joe set record low unemployment for every minority group? why didn't they commit as much money and time to historically black colleges? why didn't they do criminal justice reform, police reform opportunity zones? i think those are fair questions. because those are all the things that donald trump got done, not barack and not joe. >> they are excellent questions and why don't they support choice in public schools? michelle obama simply went to a magnet school, she did not go to the local school maker because it was a bad school. she voluntarily bust out words in order to go to a better school. her daughters never went to

>> well, i was going to say, michelle obama there are two parts.to african-american voters, to not be fooled and remember what is at stake. and i agree that she does have an appeal to the white college educated suburban women who are looking like they are leaning towards biden but we can't take anything for granted, if we are learned anything from 2020, and our many experiences and this election. but i also think it's very important to have a black woman like michelle obama saying to white voters, don't be fooled about who this president is and what he is trying to do in race baiting and making you think that people who are throughout largely overwhelmingly, peacefully protesting, just to not have someone's knee on our necks, we are peaceful people. we are asking for freedom. it's an important message, it goes to what joe bide season talking about when he talks about healing the soul of this country. so i think her message to white voters is really important as well. i don't any anyone else can convey it like. >> that i want to hear from biden. let

so, you know, michelle obama going out and doing this i think is great as a closer.like to see george w. bush or laura bush do something similar. i mean, it is a 911, five-alarm fire right now, going on in this country under this president's failed leadership. and imagine if someone like george bush or his wife or both of them, together, came out and did something similar. talking about the existential threat that donald trump poses to our democracy. and i think that would send a similar message to those republicans who give them a license to believe it's okay to vote for joe biden this time around. >> that is an interesting concept. karen, you want to -- >> yeah. well, i was just going to say i think michelle obama here, there's two parts, right? there is i think her appeal to african-american voters, again, to sort of not be fooled and to remember what's at stake in this election. but i also think -- i agree with tara that she does have an appeal to those white, college-educated, suburban women who, thankfully, are looking like they're leaning towards biden. but we

michelle obama is deeply -- she does not particularly like it.he fact that she emerged in this way is a reflection of her passion about this. she believes strongly that donald trump led us in the wrong direction and she feels compel to use her platform. she does not do that lightly. >> also, some of this of the push that michelle obama is doing is because of what we have seen in texas and other places where clearly there are efforts to suppress the vote a drop-off box for a county that's larger than a state of rhode island in one case. clearly, it seems like a lot of prominent democrats are trying to do everything they can to just over come whatever obstacles they feel or out there to get people to vote and however they can fwet thget the vote. >> that's exactly right. we are in the middle of a pandemic. she's loyal of people voting in a safe way and encourage people. make a plan to vote and figure out what you are going to do and what you are going to do. try early voting you can so there are not these huge crushes we saw on election day. wear a

what i can say is that michelle obama today, she destroyed whatever good was left of obama's legacy,legacy, with this video. it's breathtaking because it's so polar opposite from a barack obama that we saw when he was running for election and i remember seeing that barack obama, a barack obama who was asked, baited, wants to say if you do not win this election, senator, do you think it's because america isn't ready, the application being that america was not ready -- >> tucker: i remember that. >> and you remember what he said? he said, you know what, if i don't win, no, it's because i failed to deliver on a vision and a promise that americans could believe in. it was an incredibly courageous response that i believe won him the election because he believed in america and he basically said to americans that day, even if i don't win, i still believe in america. it's not because of the color of my skin. michelle obama did the exact opposite. if she looked at america in a 25 minute video and she said to americans if you don't vote the way that i tell you to vote, it's because you are bac

days, we called michelle obama the closer back in the iowa caucus.she was so effective. and that, you know, i think message from michelle obama will work in every part of the country with every demographic group. but right now polls aren't votes, but the polls would show joe biden heading to a historic gender gap with women. and so both of those spots, i think, joe biden can't be doing much better in this race right now than he is. so the big task for the biden/harris ticket is to basically hold their support levels where they are and, of course, work really hard to make sure it actually materializes and vote. but very powerful. newspaper endorsements are traditionally less effective. i'm sure they'll turn those into ads. joe biden's get tysburg speech, and the trifecta this close to election day, people are voting in huge numbers all over the country as we speak. >> to our viewers, that cacophanous noise, some opting to live in the lumberyard for 28 days [ inaudible ] presidential plexiglass debate will be on the books. here is a photo of the last o
