[laughter] president obama: it is an example of what our young people can do when they put their minds to it. i would like to thank your principal, mike goodrich -- mike bukovic. [applause] president obama: your superintendent is here. where is tom? [applause] president obama: your mayor is here. he was here. he had to go to a city council meeting. he is missing out on the fun. att

we'll break down president obama's 45-minute speech. they get 15 minutes, as we said, they rarely do stick to the 15 minutes. associate dean at professor of international affairs at the ashe joins us now. we'll have our other guests who have been joining us this morning. a former british diplomat. i want to ask both of you i'll start with you nina, just your overall impression of president obama's speech, and then we'll get down to specific topics. >> well, i think you mentioned it is a speech that covered it all. there is a laundry list of all the things america thinks it should represent for its own population and also to tell the world what it stands for. i thought the speech was way too long and way to boring. >> you were not inspired. >> i was not inspired at all. it's basically it always felt like barack obama always had to fit markers that we're leaving the world we want to be part of the world we want to be part of the coalition. here are the problems ukraine iran cuba, and whatnot so that all the right propaganda words were bei

is it bill clinton or barack obama? >> it is really barack obama. what is interesting is why she said that, around the time that bill clinton was attempting to talk about race. trying because he had a unique positioning or you can talk and tell that both of the churches are understood and welcomed. advantage. he comes in and tries to use that same language to talk to the country and gets spanked, to say slavery was wrong when he was in africa just got huge reviews, and then his sexuality beliefs. in much thein much the way black male sexuality has been perceived since slavery , you have this man who single -- signifies the single folks of blackness, single moms, a man child in the promised land of hope arkansas and have this aspect and demeanor and get on the pulpit and sounds just like a preacher. had he been black and jesse jackson white, president of the united states. people felt comfortable with him. it's a very particular thing. >> it is often said that was emphasized that he was biracial. how do you think that impacted his electability. every

he just tatted your tit, obama. they were supposed to have a lunch together and putin pulled this. >> the two offered each other this terse toast over lunch after putin sat down 20 minutes late. >> larry: 20 minutes late! that's a black move. ( laughter ) oh, my god. who is this putin? he just turned c.p. time into c.c.c.p. time. google it. you'll know what i'm talking about. it is so disrespectful to do that. but that's just how putin rolls, man. >> putin will go into this meeting cocky and confident. >> larry: come oputin goes through his entire life cocky and competent. this is highway he showed up to his first day of nursery school. that's a real photo. we did not doctor that you guys. that's a real photo. sadly, both putin and obama brought that nursely school-level sophistication to these meetings. >> putin says the u.s. asked for this meeting but the white house has repeatedly called putin desperate to talk to president obama and says he has tried for this meeting a number of times. >> larry: what the ( bleep

obama's enemies and the people who have demonized putin as browder has been doing will accuse obama of appeasement. keep in mind what's at stake, keep in mind failed american policies and keep in mind that the islamic state is a grave menace to russia. >> that's why i brought you on the show there will be people who will demonize russian and china and cuba, and we vo to have a discussion about engaging with these countries is better than not engaging with these countries. >> we could turn this into a saturday night live skit. are you saying that maybe if obama isn't careful, putin will kill him in a prison? what's the link? >> you say russia. >> the link? >> russia we're dealing with a regime that doesn't always do the right things. and one could argue that united states doesn't always do the right things. there is a deal with iran, they kill more people per capita, that's the reason i invited you but you're so steamed about bill browder. >> you know what i'm really steamed about? it's unfair. you bush whacked me. i talked to your prowzers and all we talked about is u.n. syria, russia

is a bill clinton or barack obama? >> guest: it's clearly barack obama but what's interesting about toni morrison why she said that it was around the time that bill clinton was attempting to because he had that unique vision of a former southern governor where you could talk to both of them and be understood and welcomed to have that advantage that white southerners have been politics. he comes in and he tries to use that same language to talk to the country and the attempt to say slavery is wrong when he was in africa got huge reviews are and then to see his sexuality which was the other thing that tony -- triggered toni morrison to say that. here you have this man with -- single mom it difficult upbringing and the responsibility he took on as a child. he had this aspect in his demeanor he could go into a black church and get on the pulpit and sound just like the preacher. one said had he been black and jesse jackson white bill clinton would have been a pastor and jesse jackson of president of the united states. if th

president barack obama. a lot of people are looking forward to that to see what's going to come out of it. we should be paying attention to syria, but what else, patty? >> this was a stunning diplomatic double play by putin. not only is making his first speech before the general assembly in 10 years, but calling timeout on the white house's year out effort to isolate russia over crane, specifically policies in ukraine, the annexation of crimea, also the support of pro-russian separatist in eastern ukraine. i have spoken with analysts and experts. there seems to be a feeling here that what is really going on, so we've got to double down by russia in syria, sending fighter aircraft, sending tanks, sending troops. what this has really given is given putin leverage on the diplomatic stage. right now what putin really needs is some sort of sanctions relief, some sort of way to get a face saving expert full from those sanctions without bowing to the demands of the united states. >> all right, patricia sobga, stay

[applause] president obama: because unless you are a native american -- [applause] president obama: your family came from someplace else. [applause] president obama: and although we are a nation of laws and we want people to follow the law, and i have been pushing congress to make sure we have strong borders and we are keeping everybody moving through legal processes, don't pretend that somehow 100 years ago the immigration process was smooth and strict. that is not how it worked. there are a bunch of folks who came here from all over europe, all throughout asia, all throughout central america, and certainly who came from africa. it was not some orderly process where all the rules applied and everything was strict, and i came the right way. that is not how it worked. so the notion that now one generation or even four or five generations removed, that suddenly we are treating new immigrants as if they are the problem when your grandparents were treated like the problem or your great-grandparents were treated like the problem or were considered unworthy, uneducated, uneducated, or unwashed

[applause] president obama: ok. i will take the first -- i will take the question on israel arts -- visual arts. secretary duncan: it goes back to what the president talked about. it is not just upward bound at risk. it is pell grants at risk. childhood education, folks in congress want to see rebecca out of the balance -- budget -- congress wants to zero that out of the budget. we need to hold folks in washington accountable for investing in education. we want to make sure we are getting results. there are lots of things in our budget, upward bound, being a piece of it in danger. the president is fighting hard. there are some backing us. others see this as extras. it is important that your voices be heard. he cannot by himself prevent these cuts. that is not how democracy works. hold us accountable. we will continue to push hard. but we need voters voices being heard saying we need upward bound programs. we need early childhood. we need afterschool programs. we need arts. you can talk about arts as well. arts are o

or is that barack obama? >> guest: it's clearly barack obama.when toni morrison labels it was around the time bill clinton was attempting, he had that unique position. a former southern governor who lived with african-americans were where you can talk to both of them and would be understood welcome. he had that at advantage of white southerners. he comes and andy tries and he attempts to face labor. and then to see a sexuality which was the other thing that triggered. here you have this man -- the single mom the difficult upbringing and the responsibilities he took on as a child and then you have this aspect and demeanor going to a black church and getting on the pulpit and sounding just like a preacher. had he been black and jesse jackson white bill clinton would have been a preacher and jackson would have been the president of the united states. i think people felt comfortable with him. clearly he didn't have to face the slings and arrows. bill clinton didn't have to deal with that. >> host: is often said t

particularly by president obama. not least the situation in ukraine where russia has annexed crimea. and he is accused of having forces backing rebels in the east of the country. take a listen to what president obama has to say. >> we recognize the complex history with russia and ukraine, but we cannot stand by when the sovereignty and territory integrity is violated. if that happens in ukraine, it could happen to any nation gathered here today. >> reporter: that's essentially, alison, a justification for the sanctions that the united states is imposed on russia because of the activities in ukraine. i think u.s. officials will acknowledge privately, if not publicly, that the sanctions have had little effect on policy of russia in ukraine and further sanctions and further animosity will not have much effect on russia and policy in syria as well. the take away from me is that the two countries are going to now work together to some extent. >> and work together to some extent on the crisis in syria. the big sticking poi

american citizens are those who should fear the sanctions of the obama sort. andem pose sontions to this point further empower our enemies, a quote of the evening from french prime minister. who said, quote, to succeed in the world, it is much more necessary to possess the penetration to discern who is a fool, than to discover ho is a a clov -- clever man. >> obama's nuclear deal with iran threatened by his political allies, who have been reliable until now, fox news analyst kt mcfor land joining us next. >> these guys out fishing, little did they expect to be the lures, that video coming up here lures, that video coming up here next. you're down with crestor. yes! when diet and exercise aren't enough, adding crestor lowers bad cholesterol up to 55%. crestor is not for people with liver disease, or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor all medicines you take. call your doctor if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired, have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine, or yellowing of skin or eyes. these cou

she has written a book called "fracture: barack obama, the "fracture: barack obama, the clintons and racial divide," , which looks at the history of race relations in the u.s. while tracing the political shifts in the democratic party through the relationship between the clintons and president obama. last week, democracy now!'s juan gonzalez and i sat down with joy-ann reid, and i began by asking her what exactly is the fracture that she sees occurring between barack obama and not just hilary clinton, but the clintons. inis interesting to quiz 2008 -- because in 2008, he saw both of the clintons litigating within senator obama, the legacy of the civil rights era, and they ran into trouble over their interpretation of the dichotomy between the nonviolent movement toward social change for economic empowerment and also the right to vote, in the lyndon johnson break with his own party with these once democratic soul is segregated south on the issue of civil rights. they ran into trouble with the fundamental question that the democratic party had faced over the last 50 years, what to do w

the claims made by president obama, secretary kerry and other members of the obama administration about this agreement have been robust. this deal will, they have said and i quote, prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, cut off all iran's pathways to a bomb including the covert pathway, provide us with a certainty we will know what they are doing in the nuclear arena, prevent nuclear proliferation, encourage stability across the middle east and prevent war. these assertions are simply false. take the president's assurance that the agreement will prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. in a more candid moment a few months ago, he admitted that under this deal the iranians in and years or so will have -- in 13 years or so will have, and i quote, advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium fairly rapidly, and at that point the breakout times would have shrunk to zero. the president's own words make clear that this agreement does not keep iran from nuclear capability. quite the opposite, it guarantees that in less time than has passed since 9/11, a regime with "death to america" a

obama, the 1st black pres. to talk about race. >> well, one of the things i write about is called my theory about the rule for black national figures. you want to be a national figure, you are expected to be in a certain box, to comment really only on progress. you are not supposed.out the flaws because at makes you a rev. justever just jesse jackson and reverend al sharpton and limits your ride. the candidates who are successful, they are people who talk about race in some kind of elevated way. barack obamaway. barack obama was perfectly situated to be that person because way that he has reported him self and his public life after his moment of radicalism apartheid protesting he really was this ecumenical -- racially ecumenical die. and so he comes in the office focused on the economy that has gone over cliff, 700,000 jobs a month being lost command he is really focused on that. i found no evidence that barack obama came to the white house to litigate race i think that for a lot of african-americans there was

obama can't take a side. >> that's why he has advantage over obama, he's clear with what he wants to do in the world. he wants to be a power player, and he wants to make deals with syria, and he wants to be a thorn in the side of america. what do we want from russia? we don't even know. of course, he has the advantage over obama. >> we're going to leave it right there, but leadership, you can see the two different styles. >> he took the goal home and now he's going to take the oil loss. >> we'll move on from this topic. also, big news from capitol hill. speaker john boehner is out, and as of friday, he'll be leaving congress next month. he said he's proud of his record and took a shot at some of his party's hard liners. >> our founders didn't want some parliamentary system where if you wanted a majority, you got to do whatever you wanted. they wanted this long, slow process. so change comes slowly. and obviously, too slowly for some. the bible says beware of false profits. there are people out there, you know, spreading noise about how much can get done. >> i have to go back to you a

obama and mr. putin toasted. but there was a metaphor in the disconnect between the two leaders when mr. putin took a call at the table. ings obama chastised his conduct in syria. >> they threat ton pull us back into a different world. >> where might equals right in foreign affairs. >> we should support tyrants like bashar al-assad who drops barrel bombs to massacre innocent children because the alternative is surely work. >> reporter: still, mr. obama said he would work with russia and iran to try to find a seclusion in syria. later, the two met face to face for first time in over a year. both leaders ignored reporters' shouted questions. white house officials insisted ukraine would be the primary topic of the meeting, putin trying to change the subject with his action necessary syria. but a year after the crisis began, russia is still there. mr. puti obama vowed to keep sanctions on russia. >> if that happens without consequence in ukraine it could happen to any nation gathered here today. >> reporter: and anto

house democrats and ultimately president obama.nd up fighting amongst ourselves the whole time -- which we have done a lot of -- then we limit our ability to do anything with democrats. and for me, that goes back to december 2012 when, as you remember, margaret, we worked on something we called plan b to deal with -- what a great name plan b -- something to push back on the democrats when the bush tax cuts were expiring. what we saw is there were enough republicans who were nervous enough about voting what they defined as being a tax increase because this was a vote that would happen on december 27 or 28 instead of january 1 when the taxes would rise. so taxes are higher today because some republicans did not want to vote for what they perceived as a tax increase. what we saw was, instead of throwing santa some people, -- throwing sand at harry reid or the obama administration, showed we could not pick up the sand. that is why republicans have had the problems they have had ove the past couple years. it is why we need to unify and

we're keeping an eye on president obama's historic trip to alaska. the president is in alaska right now. he's going to be there today, tomorrow and wednesday. he's giving remarks tonight on the issue of climate change. which is obviously a big part of the reason he's in alaska and a big question mark over how he will deal with him green lighting arctic oil drilling by shell oil. the president making those remarks tonight. he spent a big portion meeting with native alaskan groups. it's late in the day. there's new news happening that probably means it's going to be a bit of a rollicking show tonight which is always fun. we start with some legitimately new news hot off the presses. what i have in my hot little hand here is new national polling. new national -- a new national poll on the presidential race. we have this exclusively tonight. you have not heard about this anywhere else. we're breaking this news here. this is a new national poll on the presidential race from public policy polling. they have polled republican voters nationwide on the race fo

obama was a christian, she said well, as far as i know.on mark over it because it was serving her political purposes. in terms of islamaphobia, i think mr. zogby is correct to point out president bush went out of his way over and over and over to remind americans islam is a religion of peace, we should be generous to our muslim neighbors and trying to keep anti-or islamaphobia at bay and keep a tamp on it after 9/11 because things could have been much, much worse. >> we haven't done that since then, evan. this is having an impact on the debate about the refugees. america hasn't taken many refugees to date from syria. i want to play sound from congressman pete king, always out there on issues of terrorism threats. he said this week about talking about refugees, let's take a listen. >> allowing 10,000 people in from syria that we have to assume that somebody is going to make it through and in this day in the post 9/11 era, we always have to assume the worst and it's a very good chance the worst will happen. >> we have people in urgent need,

the claims made by president obama, secretary kerry, and other members of the obama administration about this agreement have been robust. this deal will, they have said, and i quote, prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. cut off all iran's pathways to boom, including the covert pathway. provide us in a certainty we will know what they are doing in the nuclear arena. prevent nuclear proliferation. encourage stability across the middle east and prevent war. these assertions are simply false. take the president's assurance that the agreement will prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. in a more candid moment a few months ago, he admitted that under this deal the iranians in 13 years or so will have, and i quote, advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium fairly rapidly, and at that point the breakout times would have shrunk to zero. the president's own words make clear this agreement does not keep iran from nuclear capability. quite the opposite, it guarantees that in less time than has past since 9/11, a regime with death to america as a pillar of its national policy will have

i do think the obama administration will hold firm.hat over the years of president obama's tenure as president, it is extremely unfortunate that what we have learned is that increasingly, the republicans in charge of both houses of congress cannot be reasoned with and they cannot be bargained with. you don't go to the bargaining table with people who deliberately pursue policies, as i said, that actually increase the rate of maternal mortality and infant mortality. you just can't bargain with that kind of an attitude. so i think the obama administration is going to hold firm. and i think that in the senate we can make some real headway. we had a terrible vote, two votes that were terrible in the house today. but we have better shots at the senate. >> we'll have to leave it there. thank you both for joining us tonight. >>> still to come, chris christie gets put on the hot seat and bristol palin wastes no time for taking on the president. when is your flu shot more than a flu shot? when it helps give a lifesaving vaccine to a child in ne

obama said no thanks. this is the president who drew a red line against assad after he backed off and said if you use chemical weapons and cross that red line, you'll pay a price. here's the facts: assad is going to be empowered and obamacare -- and obama gg to be gone. the last guile standing is going to be assad. this is the man who said don't worry about side of the siel. they are the j.v. team. at what point do you realize that president obama has no idea what he's talking about? at what point in time is it obvious to anybody in the world who's paying attention when it comes to radical islam, he has no clue? so this is the guy we're going to send in to negotiate with a radical ayatollah, a guy who in the eyes of the world is a complete weak defender of freedom and a very poor adversary of evil? and if that's not enough, the iranians are rubbing this in john kerry and barack obama's face by tweeting this out hours before you vote on this deal, just to remind you that no matter what you say on this floor

on the obama e-mail list. wehave the obama data and are able to develop tools. they are able to take these tools and make that data in digital tools available. these are the same things they are looking for. seats ine will pick up this election cycle. i think it will be an election cycle that democrats will do well. chuck.ook: >> [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, > why do think senator sanders is doing so well? one of the reasons is consternation and unease about hillary clinton. can you adjust that? rep. wasserman schultz: i want to be careful because i am the party chair and i have to function neutrally. i tried to literally adhere to that. it is not that appropriate for me to comment specifically on why one candidate would be doing better than another candidate, but i will say that i think the crowd bernie sanders is isracting and the enthusiasm one example of the importance that voters place on a message that says "i want to make sure as president that you have an success, makingix fe sure you have access to quality health care, a s

and president obama.nton is expected to testify before the house committee the benghazi attacks next month. president obama said today he has had strong disagreements with the man who launched the global war on terror. his predecessor, george w. bush. but in remarks today, to troops, the incumbent president gives president bush great credit for bringing americans together in the immediate aftermath in of the 9/11 attacks. report from the white house how the jihadist threat has evolved and even grown under president obama's watch. >> in a town hall with troops at fort mead and others stationed worldwide, president obama argued a poor al qaeda has been dismantleed. >> what's happened with radical violent extremism is it's mess as it sized and spread to other areas. and right now, ground zero for those activities is in syria with isil. >> indeed in the battle against isis, the terrorist group that's overrun large swaths of iraq and syria since 2013, u.s. officials said coalition aircraft have struck 6700 tar

now, that's a shot at president obama. his belief that americans should be forced to fund abortions. and to perform services against their religious beliefs. the gay marriage controversy comes to mind. the pope did this very gently, but that point was directed at mr. obama himself. pope francis continued. i would like all men and women of goodwill in this country to support the efforts of the international community to protect the vulnerable in our world and instimulate integral and inclusive models of development and that our brothers and sisters everywhere peace and prosperity that god wills for his children. that's a challenge to all americans to help the down trodden but how to help them is the issue most americans are generous folks. we must be careful to the to make it worse. obamacare helps poor people who can't afford health insurance. no doubt the intention of that entitlement program is noble. but, by forcing subsidized health insurance payments on businesses, president obama has made it more difficult to create

obama used canada. and of course, the administration recruited the pope to give his political moralng and use his persuasion, which only he has in the most unique way, to provide both a catalyst and political cover for the change that was taking place. and to help these talks go forward. there was nine secret meetings. the focused on extraordinary dynamic of a prisoner exchange. in our book, we detail the prisoner exchanges that others had previously negotiated and the lessons of those exchanges. in obama's case, he wanted to get allen gross, this u.s. contractor who had been arrested in cuba while surreptitiously setting up satellite locations networks for communities in havana and outside of havana. he wanted to get him out after allen had in prison for almost five years. the cubans wanted their cuban five spies back. these were five members of a network of spies known as the wasp network. these negotiations took place, two of them had already served their long sentences and had gone back cuba. but th

of course he thinks obama's weak.y he's doing everything he can do to take over his sphere of influence in syria, egypt, iraq, add to that jordan if he can get in there, the saudis, he's trying to replace the united states because we have basically stepped back, right? >> no one's pushed back on russia since world war ii. right now the big problem we have got with russia in the middle of syria and its coalition aircraft flying in there and we've got a real potential of a russian coalition meeting and russian soldiers dying or french dying. and also we've got the russians making a deal, which everyone knows they're doing anyway, but officially sharing intelligence with iran, iraq and syria. putin right now owns anything he wants to touch. no one is pushing back. certainly not the united states. and for the next 17 months, i don't see anybody doing it. >> michael, marco rubio in the last debate i thought nailed it. he called him a gangster who is trying to reconfigure world alliances because of america's absence on the

president obama had a clear choice. stand with the people of iran or remain on the sidelines during the brutal crackdown. at this pivotal moment, president obama chose to remain on the sidelines. the religious nazis running iran faced no consequences for their actions. the people of iran received no support. without the support of the world's greatest democracy, their effort was doomed. the ayatollah and his hinch men, the revolutionary guard killed, jailed or terrified into silence every iranian moderate. in the six years since, there has been no sign of that resistance. the crackdown was complete, the cost of protest clearly too high. what happened in 2009 helped sharpen the world's focus on this fanatical regime and the years following those of us who had long understood the threat from iran redoubled our efforts to step up the pressure. the u.s. congress put the screws to the iranian government, cutting off access to global markets, especially western financial institutions. our allies followed our lead. we painstak

i think obama himself did not want to keep troops there. partly just because he didn't think it was necessary, partly he was going around telling everyone that i've ended the war in iraq, the iraq war is over. but he wanted to be able to claim we're out, and as soon as we get the last troops out at the end of 2011, maliki is unleashed. he arrests -- issues arrest warrant hoise own vice president, who is the leading sunni politician, all sorts sorf other sunny sunnies and then maliki starts arresting more sunni oppositionists, kicks sunnis out of the armed forces which americans are wondering, why this iraqi army so bad? because we let maliki pull -- kick out the sunni officers and to sunnis went over to isis. so, i think it was clearly avoidable -- >> host: a great recruiting tool for isis. >> guest: that was perhaps the biggest single blunder of the presidency, which there's been quite a few. but the decision not to keep american troops in iraq. >> host: let's probe just a little bit at why we didn't. and why the obama administration was r
