obviously it was never going to happen, but it shows the potency for the obama brand, especially the michelle obamamichelle is in a category by herself. she played an enormous role for kamala harris and as we know, michelle obama is just a beautiful woman. >> jonathan: but you talked to the campaign -- you were at the same meeting which included both the harris team and the trump team, and the bottom line is the trump team was getting ready for biden to drop out weeks before they did, even before the debate. >> they said they started looking at analysis for this in may, but what was striking is we watched that debate and we asked him, when they knew things were going south for biden. they knew in the first five minutes that was over. >> jonathan: some said it was the first 30 seconds. >> when they walked out. >> they said they were prepared. they had alternative versions of speeches set up for the republican convention in case a swap was made ahead of time which i think is interesting because, you know, to those of you who covered the news event, no doubt it was shocking when it happened. >> jonath

>> michelle obama said that in 2016, and a lot of what mark is talking about happened after 2016.e quoted by name, there is a sense of agreement with what mark is saying. what was the point of playing by the rules? what was the point of being the norms party? people did not reward -- >> people don't like the norms. they don't think norms are working. >> right, and they believed, as most republicans believe, a sliver of voters believe, that every politician is crooked in the same way. there's a lot of who deserves the blame for the lack of faith people have in their institutions going around. but history didn't start with donald trump. what the biden argument, that memo that accompanied the pardon sounded like a lot of what bill clinton's defenders sounded like. they indulged a partisan investigation. and that people should realize there are times, there are people being hurt only because of their connection to the president. that's what this sounded like, not just the return to the idea of democrats need to fight personal destruction in lawfare, like what republicans were saying o

"i'm here to find out more about her." to your point, precisely, that was one of the big questions, and also to see what this momentum, this enthusia

michelle obama tried to do this and was mocked for getting healthier food in schools for children.ouldn't have broccoli cost more than chicken nuggets. that's what happens. a lot of families say i'm going to buy that dollar menu at the fast food franchise because i can afford to feed my family on that. it needs to be more affordable as well as healthy. >> kaleigh: paul, trump has made very clear he's a big believener the polio vaccine. that will be here to stay. i will also say this, leslie. i'm directing this to paul. we have a little time here. if i'm as healthy as trump at his age who runs circles, i could barely keep up to the man, i know biden's team said that about him but i mean it about trump. i will be a very happy person. >> paul: a lot of this comes down to genetics. this is really good if r.f.k. is the messenger. this is another example of trump's republican party. this is very much themovement. the idea that the mass produced food that is loaded with chemicals, not good for you. you're better off eating healthy produce that hasn't gone through an industrial base. this

rachel: michelle obama getting heat after posting a new year's message that appears to be a veiled referenceys, everyone. i know it has been a difficult few months for so many of us and folks are feeling a little bit anxious and uncertain. but even during these tough times, there are plenty of reasons to stay hopeful. rachel: i love this. a lot of trump supporters criticizing the former first lady for that apparent swipe. she hasn't met the other 50% of the country that's real happy. the times square ball fully installed and ready for new year's eve, organizers working to place the last crystal triangle. a live look at times square, you see the stage set for the ball drop, one million people expected to gather from around the country to celebrate here. charlie: and delta flight from seattle to honolulu, the suspect passed by tsa without a boarding pass, less than a month after russian national stowaway boarded a delta plane headed to paris from new york city. the executive director of the national council joins us now. thank you for joining us this morning. this is absolutely maddening when

. >> the best i thought was michelle obama in late october in michigan at the rally she did, talkingwomen's reproductive rights, but in such a heartwrenching way almost, really appealing just to men and saying you have to take care of the women in your life and she spoke about women's body parts that people don't use that language. she was so effective and just really came out in my opinion just as a way to speak to everyday women who are going through a lot of issues and to get people excited. >> now i'm coming to you, basil, but i also want to bring in who i feel were the worst celebrity camera a cameos. kid rock won republicans' hearts when he started attacking light beer brands for being too woke and it's pretty clear that not too many of them delved very deeply into the detroit rapper's rock disc otography. >> hello, america. i need everybody to stand up. >> his performance of american bad-at the republican convention in milwaukee threw a lot of blank stares from the donors and delegates in contend answer, but even kid rock couldn't compete with the six time wwe champion hulk ho

[ applause ] >> i wanted to ask first, guess because of the research that has been renewed in recent years, psychedelic treatment and experimentation is a major topic these days. we talked about how i feel like everywhere i go somebody is talking about it and i imagine that a lot of people in this room are also bumping into this conversation. other books have been written on this topic of course. michael pollen's book, how to change your mind. could you talk about why you each wanted to write a book on this topic, what perspective you saw missing on the shelves. >> should i start? for me i think tha

i just want to show a little of the original moment early on, then michelle obama later talking aboutlled that the white house called me. i'm the genius that shot him. >> [ applause ] >> thank you. >> we were blown away. the we were sitting there with our mouths open going, who is the student what is he up to? >> teach him how to say goodbye. >> that was quite a journey. in four frames. >> what did it mean to get not only into the white house, but have the reception then that was about the white house and america? >> it's funny. i look back with such admiration two 2009, because at that moment i only had the 16 bars about hamilton and i hadn't even finished writing the course, but i finished it for the occasion of being invited to the white house. i had a musical under my belt, then they invited me to warm and they said, unless you have anything about the american experience. i have one thing about the american experience. i just started writing. i introduced it as an album and not even a show yet. i'm amazed at the bravery of that 29-year-old me pretty >> you were 29? that is so wild

they don't get the precedent doctor jill oh tom biting gets her michelle obama gets, and look at yourbeautiful children, beautiful grandchildren. you have people, kids they come from wealthy families they got all kinds of prompts and so forth. yours do not. they support their father. they will do anything for their father. they love their country right down the line, every single one of them. the media focus on a cousin over here, and niece over there who is attacking you and so forth. you're a wife, your family, they talk about the kennedys and so forth. that trumps part it's a remarkable family so i'm going to ask you as a father and a grandfather, what did you do to raise children this way? and your wife, when she sees what's happening to you, that her husband was almost murdered. how do you to interact when she sees something like that? >> well, she was watching it on television. and barron was outside having a tennis lesson. he is a good tennis player. he was outside playing tennis and somebody ran out barron, barron, your father has been shot. he loves his father. he's a good ki

i just want to show some of that original moment early on and then michelle obama later talked abouthrilled the white house called me. >> we were blown away. we were sitting there. there are probably shots of us sitting there with our mouths open going who is this dude, what is he up to? ♪♪ >> that was quite a journey. >> well, yeah, what was the interplay and what did it mean to get not only into the white house but have that reception then with an interplay that was a show about the white house, about america? >> it's funny. i look back with such admiration to 2009 me because at that moment i only had the 16 bars about hamilton. i hadn't even finished writing the chorus yet. i finished writing the achorus on the occasion of being invited to perform at the white house. and, you know, i had one musical under my belt at the heights. they invited me to perform from that. but they said unless you have anything about the american experience. i had just started writing. and again like you hear i introduce it as an album. it wasn't even a show yet in my head. and so i'm sort of like amazed

you can see, for example when michelle obama and the girls were privately traveling in london, they werenvited to buckingham palace and the girls got a carriage ride around the grounds of buckingham palace, all privately. just a sign of a close relationship. >> you describe queen elizabeth ii as the undisputed jewel in uk diplomacy. >> no question for me that she was, on many levels, a fantastic, but also necessary performer for our country. now this works on the superficial level, if you like, of photography and publicity and pomp and circumstance. when she had meetings they were strategically placed. she had a big state visit with america when eisenhower was furious with written, he wanted to, he had not been told that britain was going to invade egypt. she was desperate she was able to do the repair job if you like come up between britain and america. this was the case in different ways thugut her reign. as i mentioned, actually, the real fears out obama also about president biden. did he really like the uk, he was fond of irish republicanism so he would not be thinking favorably towa

you can see for example when michelle obama and the girls were privately traveling in london, they gotnvited to buckingham palace and the girls got a carriage ride around the grounds of buckingham palace, all privately, no media. just a sign of a close relationship. peter: you describe queen elizabeth ii as the undisputed jewel of u.k. diplomacy. mr. charter: no question for me that she was, on many levels, a fantastic but also necessary performer for our country. now, this works on the superficial level, if you like, of publicity and photographs and pomp and circumstance. but if you look at what she did when she had her meetings, they were rather strategically placed. she had a big state visit to america after the suez crisis. he wanted to bankrupt the country. he had not been told britain was going to invade egypt. he thought this could precipitate a conflagration with the soviet union maybe. so she went over to do the repair job, if you like, between britain and america. and this was the case in different ways throughout her reign. as i mentioned, actually, the real fears obama, als

many ways, it is a bipartisan feel, what is going to be curious to me is will barack obama and michelle obamathe speech he gave today indicated he would, i know joe biden and jill biden are going, but there is a lot of progressive ranks that would want to differ with the speech today, they are in an activist fighting mode other then let's shake hands across the aisle and rebuild american democracy. people are wounded right now and i think obama is trying to be a healer. >> and i respect that because i think the problem that i have is that it's just too much of an old-school mentality, and it's not just because i don't respect former president obama, this idea of bipartisan working together requires the other side to also have the decency to want to reach across the aisle to be able to work and when you vote, and by the way, let's emphasize this, it definitely was not a majority. there was no huge overwhelming victory but when you have that many people spitting in your face, i don't think that is the recipe for what obama says, we are not looking for kumbya. >> lewis in congress would like to

michelle obama and unafraid to wear her crown history. her account seems a mystery to systems unsure of hair, a wig up, a font, a toupee. maybe not. are there no words for? our braids in our locks, the sunny skin and relaxed hair make oprah the first lady, even for face well known. some algorithms fault her, echoing sentiments that strong women are men. we laugh celebrating the successes of our sisters with serena smiles no is worthy of our beauty. and that was that was literally part of the algorithmic audit that i was showing them that i almost was blocked from even delivering and. the head of the world economic forum was in that room. one of the co-founders of deepmind was that room representative, the president of microsoft and so forth in that space, having that conversation, bringing us in literally right through poetry to ground conversations. ai and so later on, that very same panel engaged all of the eu defense ministers ahead of conversations on, lethal autonomous weapons. so the poem is a bit of how i show up, right? we celebra

. >> ian: i don't remember whoopi goldberg upset with michelle obama's plan in 2010.rson delivering the message for the left and the message. i think as we talked about, this is something that can be in large cases helped with lifestyle changes. not only by things like exercising, eating right and improve your physical condition and overall health but also improve your mental health. so for people that exercise regularly, they know this and they know when you have a good workout to start the day or a run or whatever, you feel energized during the day. if you are resorting my first try will be this drug or that drug, you are losing a lot of benefits mentally as well as physically. what you can do to preserve your life going forward. >> harris: look, i want to talk about the politics of this because it seems as donald trump putting different candidates for secretary and cabinet positions and so on and so forth, there is a national push. this can be put in that box, tammy, although whoopi shared her personal experience with weight loss spiritually asked in the fox poll w
