isiously your guest pro-obama and anti-trump. you mentioned earlier that you tried to build a relationship between police and the public to make everything copacetic. , people areou raised to hate police, regardless of what kind of equipment they use. when you say you are trying to build a relationship, it is fake. with own work ideal different cultures and different races, you see that things are learned. regardless of how much you try to build a relationship, it is predetermined by it is taught at the home to hate the police. i've seen it. there is ay enough, tiny seed of truth in what he was saying. you teach people how to treat you. when police officers go through communities and treat the members of those communities as if they are enemy combatants, then the members of the community are going to respond and treat police officers as if they are there enemy. --their enemy. that is the reason that police having military equipment undermines trust and creates feelings between police officers and those they serve. it is not somet

in which saudi arabia was armed by the obama administration so i think if we are serious about being human rights activists who are serious about being progressive in our politics we need to use the same standard to measure any administration and any political party can't play favorites i think we have to hold the democratic party and democratic elected officials to the same standard as republican party members and officials there's a lot to talk about with regard to donald trump but it's also important to point out that he simply continuing if not in some cases expanding practices and programs and policies of the obama administration just as obama continued practices and policies of the bush administration before him and you describe this. political cautiousness as a centrally begging for crumbs what you mean by that well i think that. it is becoming commonplace that it's brock obama was the first president who actively advocated on behalf of the l g b t community. that may be true but it's not saying much given that every other president has been hostile what will come back with th

eight million more after obama. nine million americans out of the labor force, now down to 94 million but under obama the lowest participation rate since the 1970's, under obama the worst economic recovery since the 1940's, the lowest home ownership rate in 51 years and obama doubled the national debt and i can go on all night. these are facts. the media never told you, the entire election season about these things and now that president trump is in office the media is changing their tactics. they refuse to report on this president's accomplishments because it will make them look good? members of the lazy press aren't interested in doing their jobs. i'll do it for them. we'll go through the whole list tonight. that the media will not tell you about the president's accomplishments. this is not even a full list. to emphasize all of these we'll bring the ding back. he nominated, the president confirmed realistic neil gorsuch for the supreme court, the stock market at an all time high.

barack obama.that is not a personal attack on the former president. you can substitute in the name of any but politician in the statement would still hold true and that is what i'm trying to get out in this book. it started out as a column that grew into a longer essay and then eventually the short book that was recently published. my intention was to make a fairly simple point, which was political or dvd is not the most employer of advancing a group economically peer to racial ethnic groups political success does not automatically lead to economic success. one does not flow naturally from the other. it's hardly an original, but one ignored by the civil rights who practice identity politics, favoring candidates of their own racial or ethnic background and so forth. i thought the end of the obama presidency was to reiterate the limits of this tragedy, which has been in place more than 50 years now. since the 1950s, black leaders really prioritized integration of political institutions. they've got a

was an unconstitutional overreach by president obama.he current justice department could not defend it. [indiscernible chatter] attorney general sessions: good morning. i'm here to announce today the program known as daca under the obama administration is being rescinded. the daca program watts implemented in 2012 and essentially provided a legal status for recipients for renewable two-year term, worker authorization, and other benefits including participation in the social security program to 800,000 mostly adult illegal aliens. it was implemented unilaterally through legal concern after congress rejected legislative proposals to extend similar benefits on numerous occasions to this same group of illegal aliens. in other words, the executive branch through daca deliberately sought to achieve what the legislative branch specifically refused to authorize on multiple occasions. such an open-ended circumvention of immigration laws was an unconstitutional exercise by authority of the executive branch. the effect of this amnesty, among other

>> president obama exceeded his authority.ar that he was correct that those judges were correct. and, in fact, the united states department of justice, the office of legal counsel which passes on these executive orders, gave president obama the okay. here the idea that the president was compelled to, in effect, declare president obama's executive action unconstitutional is simply not true. and if he really thought it was unconstitutional, he wouldn't give him the extra six months. if it's -- it's either constitutional or it's not. so, i think what he was doing was trying to act like he's not killing daca, trying to act like he loves these 800,000 people whose lives are now in jeopardy, but he is throwing them to the wofrl wolves. >> we did hear from former president obama, david, and he said this decision by the president today, president trump, was cruel. it's not often we hear nowadays from president obama. >> right. and for a situation room viewers who want to know how strongly president obama feels about this issue, i enco

obama care. taking it from democrat states and giving it to republican states. it sets up a food fight over the father or mother formula. this is a bad idea, not repealed, however all of that bein focus to what we all agree on, giving governors more freedom, slowing down the rate of growth of a outrageous entitlement spending, sure, i would be for that, but just not for this block granding concept because it is affirmative that i have agreed to keep obama care. >> if you can't accept the block grant concept, then you will never accept it. >> they could remove it and then we could vote on what we all agree on. >> wasn't that skinny repeal? >> i think there is more in this bill than skin any ny repeal, b started my political career campaigning against obama care. i said at rally after rally that we would repeal it, all of the spending, once we do, the republican name will be on income, and this we'll have republicans absorb the blame for a terrible health care system. >> so if block grant is in the

obama kind of unites people on both sides of that divide.r him to be -- remain involved some democrats think that that's a good thing for the party. it is striking when you look back and you see i think 2004, president billion clinton he was really a hot com imhod ticketed event on the campaign trail. he was out there campaigning for john kir and then obviously many contact paining for his wife down the road. is this a sign of the democrats pinning their befn on the clinton and the obama. while obama personally had a great deal of political success it wasn't very good for democrats in down ballot race he . they lost 900 state legislative seats. they lost control of the senate. point they had three fifths majorities in both houses of republicans. republicans have more governships than they've had in generations. some of the things that former president obama is working on is to try to influenza political process, get some democrats down ballot races and to try to reverse some of what they see is the unfair drawing of legislative district that

the first draft was probably president obama saying, dear donald, don't get up, signed obama.hat do you think, michelle, tone it down? just a little? all right. ( laughter ) what's not been reported is the second part of the letter that didn't leak to the press, page #. and i'm not going to show it to you. ( laughter ) ( applause ) but let's move on to the big news of the day. it has to do with a group of people called dreamers. i'm not talking about people who came back from bernie, man. dreamers refers to a group of nearly 800,000 young people whose immigrant parents illegally brought them to the u.s. while they were children. for the longest time they feared being deported to countries whose candy they don't even recognize. in 2012 president obama decided the children deserved a chance to work legally in the u.s. and contribute to america's economy and society without fear of deportation. today, president trump undecided that. >> close to 1 million people in limbo, president trump ordered the rescinding of daca. >> but left it to attorney general jeff sessions to break the

once senator obama became president president obama he discovered how quickly diplomacy could be. at first attempt in 2009, end end up failing. mainly because of problems on the iranian side. obama quickly ended up in a situation in which he was stuck with very same strouds that bush -- president bush had. sanctions, sabotage, pressure, and cyber warfare. precisely because heed a tried diplomacy, though, and precisely because he enjoyed international lidge si in a way that lush did not, obama succeeded where bush could not. he imposed the most striking, hard-hit sanctions that any country has been under yet. even the iranian central bank was put under sanctions which essentially closed iran's access to the international financial system. the united states succeeded in convincing europe to cut all oil imports from iran. iran exported roughly 40% of the oil to the european union at the time. the day congress passed sanctions imposing sanctions on iran central bank, iran's currency dropped roughly 30%. riots broke out in tehran. iran's gdp slunk shrunk. for how long could it be able

if that is, in fact, true, the president's tweet about obama tapping my wires, the obama administration tapping my wires, that would be 100% accurate. so the left is just being caught up in their own words, their own lies, if you will, because the unmasking happened, the wiretapping, at least the paul manafort happened, and conceivably the president all of a sudden they're having to change their story. it's really troubling. liz: now we have facebook ceo mark zuckerberg today discussing the ad that ran on his social media network during the election. let's take a listen. >> i care deeply about the democratic process and protecting its integrity. facebook's mission is all about giving people a voice and bringing people closer together. those are democratic values, and we're proud of them. i don't want anyone to use our tools to undermine democracy. i wish i could tell you that we're going to be able to stop all interference. but that just wouldn't be realistic. there will always be bad actors in the world, and we can't prevent all governments from all interference, but we can make it har

president obama deferred on a regular basis.d to provide international leadership and he wasn't providing international le leadership on a whole host of things. but there's no question that he's stepping forward and trying to chart a different path that previous administrations have and in my opinion, that's a good thing. >> i think north korea is an example of how his bluster may well be act secelerating this situation, so i think there's a difference from international leadership. >> from where, we're seeing nuclear tests before, and now we're seeing more nuclear tests, where's the acceleration. >> if you look at the last 10 years, we're on a faster past over the last six or seven months than over the past 10 years, perhaps you think it makings sense for a president to tweet that he's going to threaten fire and fury, at north korea, but it does not seem to have stopped them from detonating a massive nuclear run, i'm not saying this is all on trump, just as i'm not saying you were wrong to saying you were wrong to criticize pre

the obama cabinet and, you know, so you have loretta lynch, leon pan et at that, they routinely took private jets. it's not as if this is the first time you've had cabinets agencies flying around on private jets. i'm not excusing it. i think in most cases it probably is excusable. but for the most part it probably -- why can't they fly on commercial jets like the rest of us. >> even if that is true, which is not -- >> it is true. i mean, they did take those flights. >> not true. >> i looked it up. >> not true that's not true. it never happened in the bush administration. we did not allow that in the bush administration. i talked to people -- >> i'm talking about the obama administration administration. >> it is not true. i checked that out too. we did not tolerate that in the bush administration and the obama -- >> i'm not talking about bush. i'm talking about obama. >> it is not true. >> leon pan et at that and eric holder, they all took private jets. >> to the extent that this administration is taking to the tune of a million dollars in

i left the republican party and found out obama was 50 times worse. you have no seat at the place of power. now you're ready to leave the gop because it's just a joke. >> how is president trump doing. >> i think he's doing great on one hand. i think whatever he has tried to do is great. he's got activists in march is trying to stop him every step of the way. he's got media trying to destroy them every step of the way and he's got republicans trying to stop them every step of the way. he's doing great in what everything he can do on his own and what he's proposing, and then on the one side, he just isn't being the trump that i know he is. he's a great salesman. so my part i felt for a living. this is what i do. not shy about it, i'm not embarrassed about it, i'm good. i was born sell. donald was born to sell. he should be across the country in football stadiums to repeal obamacare. obama did it, he's a great salesman by the way too. i recognize great salesman. i like what he believes in him? zero. to appreciate his skills? ten. ronald reagan was a ten.

president obama left, another stink bomb he leaves. president obama is really good at this.urning people into reverse santas. he gives something away, realizing no one wants to be a reverse santa. donald trump has to be fixed. you yourself said it withh a makeshift stop gap to help noncitizens. i just want to clean up thisis mess. i just wanted done. that's all he's doing. it's amazing how the good guy in this is the guy that created this faulty band-aid and the bad guy is the one looking out for american interests and seeking to fix this band-aid. it should be the opposite. thank you, dana. and ed henry. i want four more minutes of ed henry ed henry. >> dana: we will try to get that to you in the next block. jesse watters. can congress get it done in six months? >> jesse: six months? no. six years? no. this is like president obama for christmas gives you a stolen car. and then you are riding around in a stolen car real happy but you are looking over your shoulder. all of a sudden, sheriff trump seizes a hot car insist we are not going to arrest you but we are going to drive

cheryl: president obama's the limit set up a system. they reapply every two years and it was former president obama. rick jordan thank you so much for being with us tonight. appreciate it. we want to move to another big story we are following for you, evacuations have now been ordered in florida. hurricane dermis strengthens to category 5 storm and that means 185-mile per hour winds. this could make it the strongest hurricane in the atlantic since 2005. the orange juice futures soared as the hurricane barreled toward the state of florida. meteorologist fox weather center adam fox with "fox news" channel has the latest on this potentially catastrophic situation. i think we are still smarting from harvey and here harvey and here comes irma. >> we are not getting much of a break at all. you mention 185-mile an hour winds moving at 50 miles an hour beginning to run off on the lesser antilles through the overnight hours. these wins, these are historic 185-mile an hour winds make this sort ties with the second most powerful storm we have seen

she served the entire second term of the obama presidency. she is currently a senior professor at the nyu law school for international affairs. or may not know that terry sanford was an fbi agent for two years. he fought in the battle of the bulge in world war ii, and obtained a law degree from unc. i think he would have been fascinated by lisa's career, and proud to have her speaking at the sanford school. our moderator for tonight's event is the sanford school's own david. now an associate professor of public policy and director of our triangle center on terrorism and homeland security. before we begin, it would be great if everyone would silence their cell phones. please join me in welcoming lisa to samford for this very interesting topic.

obama: that is what is needed today. the engagement of everyone who wants to see a better future for our children. it can be frustrating. i will take an example, in the united states in the past eight years, thousands of americans threw themselves into the collective effort of reforming our health care system. those of you who live in countries that already have universal health care are trying to figure out what is the controversy here. [applause] i am to. the folks who did the work, it wasn't just policy wonks. it was moms and dads, people who had crushing medical bills. maybe apparent who has lost, who had it checkup might of been found earlier. those voices from every walk of life made a difference. for the first time 90% of americans know the security of had it checkup might of been health insurance. paying more for insurance, or being denied insurance because of pre-existing conditions, or because you are a woman, that is not a thing anymore. we got rid of that. people are alive today because of it, and that is pro

whatever was there between trump and obama is short-lived and pret obama criticized president trump forulling out of the accords and trying to repeal and replace obamacare. no love lost between the twonchts a. >> and the timing of this letter, and us a chance to read it and when the justice department revealed finding zero evidence president obama ever wiretapped trump tower as president trump claimed to your point, david, and in this filing released just last night, the doj writing, both fbi and nsd confirm there are no records related to wiretaps as described by the march 4, 2017 tweets. so those president trump tweets back in march included these accusations. terrible. just found out that obama had my wires tapped in trump tower just before the victory. nothing found. this is mccarthyism. then tweeting, how low has president obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process? this is nixon watergate, bad or sick guy. so, david, will this be embarrassing to president trump? >> well, i think it's certainly a defeat for him inside of washington. i think this matters mor

as you've mentioned president trump said nothing different than obama when obama said he would destroy north korea or when bill clinton said there would be overwhelming retaliation and put an end to the country itself. he said absolutely nothing. he stated the obvious and it was very much pro-america and traditional in a sense but we have the media who are always going to criticize this president no matter what he says or does. >> maria: msnbc stephanie ruehl questions president trump 's speech and whether the trump voter understands the nuances of what the u.n. does. roll tape. >> would you categorize this speech i guess as unsophisticated so that there are lots of americans to the point that don't necessarily like the u.n. they might not understand the nuances and all that the u.n. does on a coordinate coordinated effort to protect us so on the face, could people view this as a strong speech not having an understanding of all of these disconnects required for the president to be impactful? >> liz: is the trump voter unsophisticated and doesn't understand the nuances of what the u.n.

the piece openly speculates that high-ranking officials inside the obama white house and president obama himself may have been briefed on the fisa surveillance. unbelievably in march of this year, formal obama director of national intelligence james clapper said there was no fisa warrant. you may remember this. >> the part of the national security apparatus that i oversaw as dni, there is no such wiretapped activity mounted against the president-elect at the time as a candidate or against his campaign. >> anything at trump tower? >> no. >> sean: was that he suspected of lying to congress? paul manafort was wiretapped at trump tower. guess what? clapper is no singing of very different tune admitting that communications from trump himself -- then a candidate and of course the president-elect -- may have been captured by the surveillance. watch what he said last night. >> was a possible the president was picked up in a conversation with paul manafort? >> it's certainly conceivable. >> sean: we will have more, jay sekulow and sharyl attkisson -- she was spied on also. but first, the american
