obama: like the red wedding. [laughter] pres. obama: it is not just congress.een looking ahead, anticipating my departure. last week, prince george showed up to our meeting in his bathrobe. that was a slap in the face. [laughter] [applause] pres. obama: a clear breach of protocol. although, while in england, i had lunch with her majesty the queen. i took in a performance of shakespeare, hit the links with david cameron. just in case anybody is debating whether i am black enough, i think that settles the debate. [laughter] pres. obama: i will not lie -- look, this is a tough transition, it is hard. key staff are starting to leave the white house. even reporters have left me. savannah guthrie left to host "the today show." nora o'donnell left to host "cbs this morning." jay favreau left journalism to join cnn. [laughter] [applause] pres. obama: the prospect of leaving the white house is a mixed bag. you might have heard that somebody jumped the white house fence last week, but i have to give secret service credit, they found michelle and brought her back. she is

barack obama. [applause] president obama: thank you, everybody. thank you. well, welcome to the white house. [applause] pres. obama: and thank you, jahana, for that wonderful introduction. everybody please give the national teacher of the year a big round of applause. [applause] pres. obama: it's a little surprising that she got this award because you can tell she's a little shy -- [laughter] pres. obama: -- and lacks enthusiasm. [laughter] pres. obama: and yet somehow she seems to be performing pretty well in the classroom. [laughter] pres. obama: look at that smile. so for seven years, i've stood in the white house with america's finest public servants and private-sector innovators and our best advocates and our best athletes and our best artists, and i have to tell you there are few moments that make me prouder than this event when i stand alongside our nation's best educators. [applause] pres. obama: every year on this day, we say publicly as a country what we should be eager to say every day of the year, and that is to say thank you. that's what this ev

one thing we know the obama administration has changed about the u.s.ilitary -- the words they use to describe certain activities. what did you make of the fact under the administration the pentagon required to refer to military actions against islamic terrorism as overseas contingency operations? >> yeah. >> and that the actual acts of islamic terrorism were to be referred to as man caused disasters. >> it completely exemplifies the approach of this administration that we're not even going to call the enemies what they are. which are islamic terrorists. >> critics say such language is part of the political correctness this administration requires of the military. some think it's harmless. others wonder. >> at ft. hood in texas, on a clear day in 2009, major nadal hassan, a doctor in the u.s. military, stood up on a table, shouted allahu akbar" and then began to fire. he killed 13 and wounded many other. it was a shocking event. >> staff sergeant alonzo lunsford, one of the 32 american soldiers hassan wounded that day. >> i blinked. he discharged the we

obama: so -- [applause] pres. obama: that's nice, i helped. [laughter] pres. obama: look, if you want to change this country for the better, you better start participating. i will give you an example on a lot of people's minds, the growing inequality in our economy. over much of the last century, we have unleashed the strongest economic engine the world has ever seen, but over the past two decades our economy has become more and more unequal. the top 10% of earners take in half of all income in the u.s. in the past, a top ceo made 20 times the average worker. today, it is 300 times. wages are not rising fast enough for millions of hard-working families. if we want to reverse those trends, there are a bunch of policies that would make a big difference. we could raise the minimum wage. we could modernize our infrastructure. we can make college more affordable. we can close tax loopholes on hedgefund managers and use that money to give tax breaks to help families with childcare or retirement. and if we did these things, we would help to restore the sense of hard

obama had lie to the american people to get obama care passed. hillary clinton's health care meetings were deemed illegal because they were closed, they've both been not above board in the whole health care debate. obama's push federal government obama care is about the redistribution of wealth. if you wanteded better care for lower price, you move towards a free market. things not covered by insurance have gone way down. >> we're going in the opposite direction. this will be the second election since obama care. 2012, obama was re-elected, but that was before the big cost we've seen in the last couple of years kicked in. >> in many way, people have sort of gotten immune to anything we've criticized obama care. it was really hard to move opinion on it. something like this is very personal. going to hit people where it hurts and i think that's going to have an effect and i think steve is right. hillary, i don't buy it for a minute that hillary clinton wouldn't double down on obama care. she is the mind behind single payer systems. absolutely. >> t

obama could. her husband certainly did than obama. you can't play the saxophone or can't dance, no literally, he can't dance. [laughter] >> stop it, stop it. but because he doesn't have permission to be black in the way that the white man has had permission to be black, i'm not suggesting the bill clinton is the iggy azelia of president but aappropriated that to a certain degree but -- [laughter] >> there's a way in which obama doesn't have the privilege to be publicly black but i'm acknowledging that but at the same time he lack it is courage to tell some of the truths about this that hillary clinton might more easily do without the same amount of courage and yet it does take a certain kind of courage that speak back to whitens in the way that makes you appear to the very people that produce you, that's what i meant when i talked about hillary clinton. >> i want to remind that book is on sale. if black america has stood as perhaps the best constituent for limit of presidency, would it stand up in

visit hiroshima with president obama on the 27th of this month. after the ise-shima summit. i welcome president obama's visit to hiroshima from the bottom of my heart. >> abe says he hopes it will be a chance for japan and the united states to jointly mourn the victims. >>> survivors of the atomic bombing are encouraged by the news. keiko ogura was 8 years old when the bomb was dropped. for many years she's been sharing her experiences with people from around the world who visit hiroshima. >> i am so happy. not only me, all the survivors are very, very happy. long cherishing desire or wish to have him. >> ogura said she hopes to have a chance to meet obama. >> i want him to just come here and to stand in this place in front, to come forward. those here died in vain. >> survivors have been urging world leaders to create a nuclear-free world. one of the leaders of a survivor's group has been calling for an american president to come to hiroshima for years. >> translator: i want to welcome obama and ask him to do his utmost to abolish all nuclear arm

he talks about the economy during the obama administration. president obama: hi, everybody. i've a special guest this week. macklemore. for those who do not share the same love for the pop that i do, he's a grammy-winning artist, foralso an advocate disease we whisper about, the disease of addiction. macklemore: hey, everybody. i'm here with president obama because i take this personally. i had a problem. if i did not get the help i needed when i needed it, i would not be here today. i want to help others face the same challenges i did. dosesent obama: drug or -- overdoses take more lives than car accidents. a lot of times there from legal drugs prescribed by a doctor. addiction does not always start in a dark alley. it often starts in a medicine cabinet. a new study released this month from the 44% of americans know someone who has been addicted to prescription painkillers. macklemore: i did not just know someone. i lost someone. my friend kevin overdosed on painkillers when he was just 21 years old. addiction is like any other disease. it does not discriminate. it does not

we want to see michelle obama. michelle obama's dress right there. derek, i don't know if you can hear me or if jeff can ask you. talk to me about what she's wearing because, you know, not one of the things i know about, >> i'll take it from here. as we all know this is michelle obama's last white house correspondents' dinner as the first lady. i think she really knocked it out of the park. she went for gold, didn't she? she's wearing a very beautiful, champagne, sequinned. very sparkly. >> when you look at the first correspondents' dinner, there is an evolution. she was so simple and conservative. very -- >> also a different time economically. >> definitely. >> i remember that first dinner 2009, did not want to be seen as too lavish. >> now she's going for gold. look at her. she looks beautiful. >> kind of mid-range four years in. she started changing up the hair, kind of a little more sparkle. she looks amazing tonight and always does something a little different each time, different than her usual look. >> and john, that's our fashion report from

obama now the first u.s.in here sheep mar hiroshima. >>> would the president apologize. that was a question swilling in the air. the answer is -- no. but president obama did make a gesture of reconciliation. what exactly did he say about that devastating blow dealt 71 years ago. >>> also, new twist nrs ts in t election. we have the rate covered the way only cnn can. beginning with cnn's michelle kaczynski, live in japan. >> reporter: hi, chris. you can really feel the power of this moment here. the japanese people have waited for this for a very long time. they knew they weren't going to get an apology but frankly the japanese government hasn't wanted one feeling it would stir up too much controversy on either side, putting pressure on them for apologizes for parts of this war as well, but people waited in absolute silence. they wanted to hear exactly how president obama would address this, and it ended up being much, much different from his usual speeches on the nuclear race, on events in the world. he didn'

obama won the election.ake a look here in 2004 when bush won and 2004 and in 2000 as you can see bush kept the defections among republicans to significantly less than the democrats. 7% to 11% in 2004 and 9 to 13 in 2000 itself. so, this is important for trump to minimize the defections that he has from his own party to keep his party as united as possible and, today, there are some deep splits. "u.s.a. today." >> he says he doesn't need the fat cats and the establishment people because that's hot republican party ishw-] rebelling against. they are rebelling against the bushes. they are rebelling against the mccains. and so he doesn't need toes guys to help him out. is he wrong? >> well, he is wrong. the most popular person in the republican party today is president bush 43. if you take a look at "u.s.a. today" suffolk poll, recent poll four out of 10 primary voters say they cannot bring themselves to support trump in the general election. about 12% of them saying i would go for a third peter. 9% say they wou

the outcome may be different, but obama was also ambitious.you know, there's a story, as you know as a chicagoan, but obama was running for state senate, decided to run for state senate. the previous occupant of that office had decided to run for the united states congress after mel reynolds, then the occupant of that office, fell into some hard times. >> right. >> and we'll leave it there. [laughter] and so the reality is that this woman said i'm going to run for that office. but when jesse jackson jr. threw his hat into the ring, all bets were off. >> right. >> so she said let me go back to the state senate, and let me do that. in chicago politics it was like everybody, you know, a pecking order. you served your time, you did your thing, this, this particular office then you have to acknowledge that the older person or the person more senior gets the nod. well, the younger guy named obama wasn't really -- let me think about that. not only did he think about it and said, no, i think i'm going to keep my name in and didn't give her her seat ba

because obama was talking about obama but what about the rest of us, obama?o talk about the issues because of social media. in 1983 all you had was a very special episode of "227." but now you can get on twitter and can confront these things head on. >> i'm with you. it depends on who you're talking to. some will tell you it's better, my man bu-bop will say not. we need work. depends on who you're talking to, that's it because we're still marching, aren't we? >> larry: in what way do you think it's gotten worse. >> i just think it's still the same. we still need a black life matter. it's still necessary to say stop shooting black people. it's necessary still. >> i'll play optimist. i'll tell you how you think it's better when my grandmother came from puerto rico in the '50 if somebody did something to her she had to tolerate it and now i can beat some [bleep]? >> larry: the ability to beat this [bleep] has gotten better. i think the media holds people more accountable than they used to and i think it's because we see things more now. >> i think social media h

barack obama got 38% there. it looks like we're killing time. >> it's going to make -- >> here it is. it's now 7:00 in the east. polls are closed across the commonwealth of kentucky. the race between hillary clinton and bernie sanders is, too early to call. we don't have enough information to make call just yet. joy, i think that tells us that you don't know if it's close or not but it's early. >> it's certainly early. i was going to give you a little, tell you something i don't know. you might know this already. the interesting thing about kentucky, the governor now, his pollster now working for trump. kentucky is an interesting state. it has very high levels of poverty. that and west virginia are the poorest states. high levels of unemployment and despair. it's the kind of state that bernie sanders has done well in. he can make that argument the white working class voters. >> it may be what hillary clinton said about coal even though bernie sanders may be more anti-coal than clinton or they have the same polic

. >>> barack obama has become the first sitting president to visit hiroshima. the historic visit came almost 71 years after the city was devastated by an atomic bomb. the first of two dropped on japan by the u.s. at the end of world war ii. obama headed to hiroshima after the conclusion of the group of 7 summit in ise-shima. he travelled to the peace memorial park and laid flowers at a cenotaph dedicated to the victims. survivors were among those who attended the event. obama then gave the speech that so many had been waiting to hear. >> why do we come to this place? to hiroshima. we come to ponder a terrible force unleashed in the not so distant past. we stand here in the middle of this city and force ourselves to imagine the moment the bomb fell. we force ourselves to feel the dread of children confused by what they see. we listen to a silent cry. we remember all the innocents killed across the arch of that terrible war. but among those nations like my own that hold nuclear stockpiles, we must have the courage to escape the logic of fear and pursue a world wi

we turn now to look at president obama and drones.n saturday night, comedy central larry whitmore criticized obama's reliance on drone warfare. during his remarks at the white house correspondents association dinner. he compared obama's foreign policy to that of reigning nba mvp stephen curry. >> it looks like you're really enjoying your last euro be presidency. i saw you hanging out with nba players like steph curry, golden state warriors. that was cool. it kind of makes sense because both of you like raining down bombs on people from long distances, right? what? in my wrg? amy: larry wilmore's comments come as the obama administration prepares to release for the first time the number of people it believes it has killed in drone strikes in countries that lie outside of conventional war zones. speaking last month in chicago, president obama addressed the issue of civilian deaths in drone strikes. >> there is no doubt some innocent people have been killed by drone strikes. it is not true that it has been the sort of willy-nilly, let's

barack obama has become the first serving u.s. president obama to visit hiroshima. it's estimated the attacks on hiroshima and nagasaki killed more than 210,000 people by the end of the year. he headed to hiroshima after the end of the g7 summit. he travelled to peace memorial park and laid flowers at a cenotaph dedicated to the victims. survivors were among those who attended the event. obama gave a speech that so many had been waiting to hear. >> 71 years ago, on a bright, cloudless morning, death fell from the sky, and the world was changed. a flash of light and a wall of fire destroyed a city. and demonstrated that mankind possessed the means to destroy itself. why do we come to this place? to hiroshima. we come to ponder a terrible force unleashed in the not so distant past. we come to mourn the dead, including over 100,000 japanese men, women and children, thousands of koreans, a dozen americans held prisoner. their souls speak to us. they ask us to look inward, to take stock of who we are and what we might become. it is not the fact of war that sets hiroshima

and that is something that president obama laid out back in 2009.rvivors i spoke to say they don't believe he has lived up to that commitment. so they will be watching that very closely. but just we know that the president has arrived at the peace memoriel and a short time from now we can expect him to lay that wreath by the peace arch there. memo memory. >>> add second nuclear bomb drops on nagasaki two days later. is the feeling from the japanese side that there should be some type of apology? what type of a feeling are you getting in the press ahead of this visit locally? can you tell us a little bit about that? >> the overwhelming sentiment is that there shouldn't be an apology. they don't expect an apology to be there. and 71 years later, that is really not what people are looking for here. they are looking for a commitment to really -- they want the president to first of all see what happened on the ground. keep in mind there's been no sitting u.s. president who has come to hiroshima who has visited the peace memorial and the museum, which is

i wouldn't want to go after obama normally.n the room, clearly president obama did better than larry wilmore did. but when i look at the response from other people, i laughed at larry wilmore more than president obama. i thought he had fewer stinkers. i thought he had some jokes that missed as well, but not nearly as many. i thought he made people uncomfortable. sometim >> we all want to jump in on this. >> i thought he had a terrible night. he looked like he was mean spirited and want ed to settle the score with a bunch of ex-girlfriends in the crowd. it was awkward at times the way that he was trying to make things funny in a mean spirited way. i think if i had to buy a ticket for each pick one of the people there last night, obama or wilmore, i would pick obama because i thought he was much funnier. the room definitely responded, but i thought he went up there and was really mean spurted and most of the people in the audience were kind of like this is really awkward and that's the same way it came across on tv. >> especially

the former hiroshima mayor met with president obama in 2010 at the white house when obama said he would be willing to come here and six years later the moment was finally realized. so the majority of people welcome the visit. there were a handful of protesters here, probably in the minority as far as public opinion goes. people with signs were saying the world need to do away with nuclear weapons which was the message of probst and a handful of sign saying they protested the president's visit in large part because some people here do feel the united states owes japan an apology. president obama, of course, didn't give an apology. it's a very sensitive situation geopolitically here considering japan's own wartime policies specifically against china and south korea during and prior to world war. >> hunt: participation from obama's right wing critics at hope that it would be an apology tour. use said, he didn't apologize but he really gave, it seemed, a rather eloquent speech that was quite moving. >> and it was focusing on what we expected him h to say, al, which was to talk about the hor

obama: well, it is good to be back in flint, michigan. >> obama! pres. obama: that's me. yeah.lright, settle down, everybody. [laughter] pres. obama: thank you, i appreciate it. alright, let me do some business here. let me begin by recognizing some of the guests who are here. your mayor, karen weaver, is here. [applause] pres. obama: i know governor rick snyder is here. [booing] pres. obama: no, no, no -- he is here because we are doing some business here. members of congress are here including your outstanding senator, debbie stabenow. [applause] pres. obama: flint's own dan kildee is here. debbie dingell is here. brenda lawrence is here. john conyers is here. and sandy levin is here. an outstanding michigan delegation. we've got secretary sylvia burwell, who is the head of health and human services, works for me. and administrator gina mccarthy is here as well. i want to thank the superintendent and the principal for their hospitality, and i want to thank all of you for being here. now, not too long ago, i received a letter from a young lady, an eight-year-old girl named mar

here are a few of president obama's decrees. regulations that shut down hundreds of coal-fired power plants and block the construction of new ones. how stupid is that? [ cheers and applause ] a prohibition against coal production on federal land. draconian climate rules that unless stopped would effectively bypass congress to impose job-killing cab and trade. a disaster. president obama has aggressively blocked oil production of oil and national -- just take a look. every single move he's made is to block the production of oil and natural gas. he's taken huge percentages of the alaska petroleum and you take the reserve. he's taken it off the table. he's taken it completely off the table. oil and natural gas production on federal lands is down 10% which is pretty hard to believe. 87% of available land in the outer continental shelf has been put off limits totally. atlantic lease sales were closed down too despite the fact that they would create -- listen to this -- 280,000 jobs and $23.5 billion in economic activity. president ob

president obama arrives in hanoi. haidi: keep an eye on the markets as a brand-new trading week is underway. 2/10 ofific up about 1%. a fourth straight week of losses. we are seeing the makings of a rally, although we are looking quite mixed. a lot of weight and see, waiting -- a lot of wait and see, waiting to see what janet yellen says later this week. g7e disappointment after the failed to yield any sort of accord. picture, nikkei 225 down by over 1%. strength creeping up and that is weighing on sentiment. hong kong up by about 4/10 of 1%. the banking sector all doing quite well. elsewhere around the region, we have inflation numbers coming through from singapore a little bit later on. australia and new zealand off their session lows. weakness coming through from oil and gas. oil continues its retreat on the back of those comments from iran saying they would not participate. we are seeing weakness across basic materials, led lower by the iron ore miners. outperforming.ks this is a tie one story. -- taiwan story. an

so i think that obama again feels boxed in.ecause he didn't want to be blackened like cat fish. he wanted to be free to breathe the air of the american presidency but here is the irony. every president before you has had to deal with the issue of race. you cannot be exempt from addressing that issue as well. >> rose: i'm sure he would say to you, i have not failed to speak out. i am telling you what he would say. i have not failed to speak out when i thought it was necessary to speak out, in terms of all of thoses cases in which we have had police violence. >> he would. and when i talk to him. >> rose: and he would say that, in terms of prisons, he with say that in terms of unemployment. >> right. >> rose: he would say all that. >> i will say what he said to . i don't have to hypothesize. when i am the white house-- . >> rose: i hear you. >> this is what he said. he said i told him i said you know, i disagree. to his credit he is not thin skinned as many of his followers are. i said sir, when you go to the emergency ward, if yo

i don't think -- i don't think the obamas and clintons get along at all. >> i think president obama willarmly embrace hillary clinton if only to continue -- >> she's going out on the stump. >> he will campaign vicorously i predict -- >> rivera is wrong and i'll tell you why. reagan did not do it for bush the elder. eisenhower did not do it for nixon. it is very rare for a sitting president to go out on the stump for hillary clinton, and i do not believe barack obama will do it. he'll make a few appearances, a few big appearances, and that's it. he's lining up his book, his lecture tour. >> he's crucial to hillary clinton if only to rally the minority vote around the -- >> sure he is, but is he -- if he does it, by the way -- >> he's a kid. he's got plenty of energy. ronald reagan was already relatively aged at the time he left office. >> that's a point. but i think mr. obama doesn't really like the clintons that much. >> he likes them a lot better than he likes trump. >> you're being nice and gentle with that. they do not like each other. >> bill and barack, that's two alphas right there

obama became president.y or not, jones jones have become a provocative symbol of american power running roughshod over national sovereignty and killing innocents. we ignore this admonition at our apparel. until we stop invading other countries with muslim populations, occupying their lands, torturing their people, and killing them with drones, we will never be safe from terrorism. thank you. [applause]. >> thank you. those a marvelous presentation. the book is just as fascinating. the details, the examples given, they really drive home the whole problem of drones and the legal implications, the moral implications. also the human implications. this whole thing of collateral damage, your mother, your sister, your aunt, your uncle, just being collateral damage because they're shooting at you but these other people get shot at two. it is really very problematic. i want to now open the floor for questions and comments that you may have. wait for the microphone, ways raise your hand and then you can make your comm

president obama's eighth and last.ted to take the microphone about 15, 20 minutes from now. we've got our eye on the room. we've also spent some time asking people inside that room what they are going to miss most about this president's delivery. >> i know this family. i think they're fantastic. i actually helped campaign for him. i think that he has done an incredible job in the platforms that he's wanted to advance. but there are some things that we still need to address. >> i'm glad we're here. it's a great honor and a privilege. i love hi

words to say, obama out. >>> president obama dropping the mike, delivering his final address, his last ever white house correspondent dinner. i'm anna ca bera. >> i'm victor black well. this brings together the politicians, hollywood stars, and the commander in chief, turns into comedian in chief. he didn't spare anyone, including himself. >> that's right. cracking jokes at everything from the media, the republican party, to of course, donald trump. he even took some good natured shots at the democrats, fighting to succeed him. here is a few of his best lines. >> in my final year, my approval ratings keep going up. the last time i was this high, i was trying to decide on my major. and here's the thing. i haven't really done anything differently. so it's odd. even my aides can't explain the rising poll numbers. nobody can figure it out. some candidates aren't polling high enough to qualify for their own joke tonight. you've got to admit it, though. hillary trying to appeal to young voters is a little bit like your relative would just signed up for facebook. dear america, did you get my

but when it's obama, obama nominated it without a problem. biden himself said that he should not nominate. schumer said he should not nominate. reese came out against it. and it's all locks step. and the shoe is on the other foot. and of course they should consider the nomination. they've got obama nominated a person. they want the walk -- to walk and talk the talk, people would give them respect. bit all the democrats that call up are hypocrites oratory ignorance and they believe whatever they're told even they're told the entirely opposite story from one time to the next. host: williams' on our line for independents. william, good morning. caller: good morning. yes, thanks for taking my call. yes, i agree but i feel we should not even nominate because of our corrupted political system led by two individuals who want to become queen and king of u.s.a. namely chuck grassley and mitch mcconnell from kentucky. with them and norquist and the round man, bush's big backer, they should all be tried for treason. host: so you want to see a slit court

obama said ward leaders were rattled by the prospect of a trump presidency. here is trump's reaction. mr. trump: when you rattled someone, that is good has many of the world, many countries and are beautiful world have been absolutely abusing us and taking advantage of us. if they are rattled in a friendly way, we are going to have great relations with these countries. but if they are rattled in a friendly way, that's a good thing, not a bad thing. brent: let's pull in our correspondent in washington, d.c., who has been covering this campaign from the day it began. let talk about trump? where does he go from here? he's got that magic number in the bag. guest: you can really see how donald trump is enjoying that the world leaders are talking about him and now he has reached the magic number. let me explain where the numbers come from because there are not primaries here in the u.s.. they come from unbound delegates in north dakota and pennsylvania. the question now is is donald trump going to change his behavior? is he going to try to look more presidential? i

amy: president obama becomes the first sitting u.s. president to visit the japanese city of hiroshima since u.s. warplanes dropped the first atomic bomb on the city 71 years ago killing 140,000 people. we will speak to the pulitzer prize winning biographer of robert oppenheimimer, the father of the a atomic bomb. we will also speak to a survivor of the hiroshima attack. but first, we look at how puerto rico is facing a complete takeover by a federally appointed control board. hillary clinton backs the deal, bernie sanders opposes it. >> it is morally unanacceptable that billionaire hedge fund managers have been calling for even more austerity in puerto rico. austerity will not solve this crisis. amy: we will speak to a young chicago immigrant rights activist is suing the department of homeland security for rejecting her renewal for deferred deportation status because of her activism including her arrerest at the , democratic national convention. what you face deportation now that you're getting arrested? >> i don't know, but i am willi

how is president obama's visit being received? >> reporter: it's hard to overstate how much this means to the japanese people and how powerful a moment this is. they have been wanting a u.s. president to visit this site for decades. they have been asking for it. talking about it. not necessarily looking for an apolog apology. that raises issues within japan as well and sentimnt that this government doesn't necessarily want to address in that way. uncomfortable feelings. this is what they were looking for. last night, we talked to the u.s. ambassador to japan. caroline kennedy. when people found out she knew president obama was coming here, she said they actually cried. they were looking for this kind of address to speak to moving beyond what happened here as hiroshima. obviously, it is something that both nations have to deal with. it's emotional on both sides, what happened here. to try to think back and picture it like president obama said. to be here. you are forced to imagine what happened on that day. he wanted to have this b

obama would have said yes or no. politicians would have said, yes, we will approve it or know we will not geared i want a piece of the profits. we are making it possible to happen. i want a piece of the profits for the united states. that is how we will make our country rich again. just one way out of thousands. it is how we will make our country rich again and make america great again. do you understand what i'm saying? [inaudible question] this is a different pipeline? [inaudible question] do you like the idea? do you like the ideas? i'm not supposed to say this, but that's okay. we would look at it. i would look at anything. i'm going to look at anything. a lot of times, pipelines are so much better. it is underground. we will take a look at it. [inaudible question] okay. i am not aware of that one, but we will certainly take a look at it. my basic bias would be to improve. going to the right place to the right place. okay. we will take a look at it. [inaudible question] well, i tell you two of them that are very

you saw president obama hug one of the survivors of the bomb.ore on his international global legacy? >> it does seem like he's making a long-term play here. my grandpa is a world war ii vet. he's still alive. he's 92 years old. he would think this is a good thing from the perspective of honoring the dead and recognizing world war ii was a difficult loss for everyone involved. but from the tradition of honoring the dead to reducing our nuclear stockpiles. the use of the bomb in hiroshima is what kept the war from going on and killing millions more people. charles >> people have tons of nuclear weapons, but i'm worried about the one guy with a nuclear weapon. charles: gina, you are in san diego, there has already been some violence at the event. what are you hearing locally. >> i'm hearing some of the violence isn't as serious as it has been in previous days. there is a lot of enforcement on local police and prosecutors that if there are crimes that do happen that they are prosecuted. and i think traps that's led to some intimidation of some of th

charles: president obama becoming the first sitting u.s.resident to visit hiroshima since the u.s. dropped an atomic bomb there that ended world war ii. the destruction he says demonstrated that mankind possesses the means to destroy itself. colonel peters, a lot of people debating whether this was an extension of president obama's apology tour that began at the end of his term. >> it was a stage crafted act of atonement. it's stunning. all the archly poetic language. for memorial day weekend, an american president rescripted world war ii to make the japanese the good guys and us the bad guys. he should have skipped hiroshima and stopped at pearl harbor on the way home. charles: i heard that so much on twitter. how did you feel about it? i saw you earlier with stuart varney you didn't think it was an apology tour. >> if japan didn't want to mess with the biggest dog in the fight, we wouldn't have nuked them. you shouldn't go over there and give an allusion to an apology. reporter: the president repeating the left wished the world would be n

thanks to a change being pushed through by the obama white house. vice president joe biden announced the new overtime rules and explained why they're long overdue. >> for example the fortune 500 on anies, the c.e.o. made average 32 times as much as the average employee. today it's 380 times as much. what happened? >> now the obama administration says the rule change is a means to restore and expand the middle class but, alexis, it is also a legacy move for the president. >> oh, absolutely. very much a political effort to expand what it is the president says he ca imto office to do and hopes to defend and to see a democratic president who follows him if he hopes to continue. but also to really argue the case more strongly, i think, to voters who are anxious about the economy and concerned about whether the system is rigged against them, that the government works, the government can do positive things for them that with the department of labor behind him, this rule making that took a couple years to actually complete, that in an instant he can argue,

mitt romney ran massachusetts and was like the main author of obama care before obama care was createda that donald trump is not as conservative as previous nominees. i think this takes time. >> i have to be honest with you. i didn't get what paul ryan was saying that donald trump wasn't conservative enough. i think there were other concerns beyond that there. please follow up on this silly elite thing. do you think this is about silly elites or real concerns in the republican party that donald trump's character doesn't fit what the party wants? >> i think there are real concerns. the type of campaign he ran created deep divisions. in the last few days throwing out the accusation that ted cruz's father is involved in the kennedy assassination. donald trump needs to show people he is worthy of their support. i think that calling people silly elites is not productive. donald trump needs every vote he can get if he is going to win the presidency in november. he received over 10 million votes in republican primaries but over 14 million voted against him. he needs everyone if he is going to

compared to now, they were. >> you heard president obama say he doesn't think president obama or his administration got enough credit for saving the economy from what was a corrupt collapsing situation when he took office. >> a couple things there. it is worth remembering, the president was sworn in january 20, 2009. the economy started to grow in june. that was before the stimulus legislation he ran through congress with the help of democrats controlling both houses. the things that had taken effect, the fed's action on interest rates, the much despise zed bailouts and loans that helped keep certain enterprises on their feet. they were put in place and continued by the president. the credit, for rescuing the economy has got to be shared, at least. one more thing, market economy's recover from recessions because that's what they do. people go to work every day to make enterprises grow again. that's where i suspect smart people think most of the credit lies. >> interesting to see hillary clinton and bernie sanders in tough times. thank you. >>> stocks were up today. the dow gained 175
