obama: don't boo, vote. booing does not do anything. booing does not help, voting helps. [cheers and applause] mr. obama: voting helps. voting helps. voting helps. do not boo, don't hashtag, all of that stuff is nice to do, vote. anyway. just now, mitch mcconnell says, suddenly now that he is past the passed the -- he has $1.5 trillion tax cut, he says these deficits are a really big problem. [laughter] mr. obama: you need to pay attention to this. to bring them down, we will have to cut programs like medicare, and medicaid, and social security. i want everybody to understand if you do not think voting matters. if you did not vote or folks you know did not vote, they win. they give $1.5 trillion to people who do not need it, not working people, not families, to folks who are sitting pretty. they then come back and say, now that we have spent $1.5 outlion, we need to figure how to make it up by cutting programs that working families rely on. it is a pretty straightforward equation. we should not be confused a

obama: remember who started it. [cheers and applause] mr. obama: come on! [cheers and applause] listen, even for all reversewe did not forty-year trends in only eight years. because republicans took over congress and decided to block everything i tried to do. everything. even the stuff they use to support. they did not support it. now, suddenly they support it again. we pull the economy out of crisis but you still have people -- once fell solidly middle-class and now felt more insecure because of technology and the loss of manufacturing jobs and globalization. all of that was still going on. that was just here in the united states, overseas we took out bin laden and we wound down the wars in iraq and afghanistan. we got iran to halt its nuclear program. there are still threats up there and that made people nervous. with all of these challenges, a lot of folks started feeling, you know what, change does not happen fast enough. people felt nobody was looking out for them. there was all of this money being pumped into campaigns. pac'sse big billionaire who wer

year during the entire obama administration. they changed the rule 22 days before the end of his term and reduced it to three months that you could buy these plans. but that wasn't enforced until april. let's keep itif simple. if you need an insurance company lost her job come you couldn't afford insurance during the obama years, if obamacare got too expensive for you, during the obama years you could buy a short-term insurance if your state allowed it. democrats are saying we are not going to do what president obama would do.pr we are going to keep your insurance hike today with a yes vote. we will say the 1.7 million peoplee who are uninsured, no, you can't buy this insurance because we know more than you do. some people who might know more thanor we do by the national association of insurance commissioners. senate democrats wrote them, asking them about the short-term plans and raising questions about them. here is what the insurance commissioners a bipartisan organization broke back. .. -- wrote back. .. >> this country as a

and another was addressed to barack obama. it never reached their home and was stopped in the sorting sender. the one that's reached debbie wasserman-schultz never reached its destination baits was returned to sender. president trump: the full waste our government is being deployed to bring those responsible for these despicable acts of justice. we'll spare no efforts. reporter: a joint statement said in part that president trump's words ring hollow until he reverses his statements that condone acts of violence. >> i think the pattern has developed. i think it's a terrorist attack in my opinion. they could be hiding in plain sight. they could be right next to you. we have to be vigilant and careful. reporter: liz? liz: let's get to christina live at cnn's headquarters. reporter: i'm standing on a 8th street. it's reopened now. but earlier today the entire street was closed off. you had unmarked security cars. a package did enter cnn headquarters behind me. it only entered the mailroom. there was a pipe bomb and white pawedder

the clinton and obama mailings are en route to the same fbi lab in virginia. that package was sent to and no return address on these packages. what else can you tell us? >> that's the same thing i have heard. we know what the name is on the return address, but we're not going to report that because it's obviously false. i think a couple things to emphasize here just to be 100% clea clear. in the case of the clintons ask obamas, these packages never got anywhere near their houses. there was confusion about that this morning. both were intercepted by the secret service. the devices, we're told, all appear to be the same, all appear to be similar to the one that was sent to george soros and the supposition is that was a fully functioning device and precisely how it worked, we're not sure about. we heard conflicting details about it. but the responsible thing to do right now is not to go into great detail about how the device was constructed because they want to make sure that the signature of these devices remains the same so nobody else does a copy cat thing. so

plus, writing to president obama. from hardships to homework, andericans pun paper, hundreds received a personal reply. laura: welcome to our viewers on public television ou america and the globe. tonight the mysterious disappearance of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi is raising questions across the middle east and here in washinon, d.c. the commentar who was critical of saudi arabia's young crown prince has vanished. what we do know is he was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on tuesday to obtain routine paperwork. he has not been seen sinceofand turkiscials say he may have been murdered. president erdogan is demandingsw s, but saudi arabia denies being part of any wrongdoing. a brief time ago, president n.trump expressed his conc earlier i spoke to journalist robin wright, who has known mr. khashoggi for decades. robin, you write for "the new yorker." did jamal khashoggi tell you he felt his life was in injured? robin: often, and inact, the last conversation i had with him was in august, and he sai

same thing with both former presidents, clinton and obama.t service screens their mail so that they're somewhat protect l protected from that. that's why you have this screening process. now because of an abundance of caution, they're going to make sure that any possible building receiving anything suspicious is going to be closed down and a major investigation and search launched at those buildings. >> tom, walk me through this right now. clearly this is all unfolding as we speak. what is happening now from the law enforcement perspective? detail it for me as far as what steps are currently being taken now. >> well, the first step is the examination of the devices. how are they put together? do they look like they were made by the same person or small group of persons? how were they packaged? how were they going to be detonated? then where were they mailed or delivered from? these were placed in the mail to come to the columbus circle mail screening or the white house mail screening or the clinton and obama residential screening process. whe

at this point we do not know whether one or both of the obamas were at home, but, again, the obamas, the clintons, and george soros, and now cnn evacuated as well as a result of these explosive devices that have been mailed. let me go now to my colleague ali velshi. he joins me now by phone. he is outside the time warner center in new york city. what's the scene there, ali? >> reporter: i'm on 58th street, which is the street where the entrance of cnn. this is as close as we can get to the cnn entrance. i'm here with a number of my old colleagues from cnn. this is also where they're reporting from. what we're looking at most prom ne -- prominently in addition to a heavy police presence. i think i see john miller on the scene now. we see a bomb disposal unit that is outside of cnn. it may be hard for you to see. it looks like a garbage truck with a big round opening. a lot of police, some fire vehicles. all of the cnn staff has been evacuated. the retail portion of it. the police on the scene are treating it as if it's an active bomb. they are obviously in discussions now as to what t

obama's message is hope and change, not division. that's why i'm here. >> he's a very positive speaker. he has a very positive message. he's very well-spoken as well. we need to work together and positivity, vote. that's the key message. >> reporter: thank you so much for hanging out with us. we'll let you get back in line. as you mentioned, former vice president joe biden was here, michelle obama here last week. a big target here in nevada. back to you. >> thanks very much. >>> president trump was speaking to reporters before his helicopter took off from the white house. let's listen to what he said. [ no a. >> they have reported. they have a lot of everybody in that group. it's a horrible thing. it's a lot bigger than 5,000 people. we've got to stop at them at the border. the countries have not done their job, unfortunately. they have not done their job. guatemala, honduras, el salvador, they're paid a lot of money every year. we give them foreign aid. they did nothing for us, nothing. they did nothing for us. so we give them treme

liz: president obama trying to take credit for trump's booming economy, even show two years ago obamasaying he'll bring jobs back. >> by the time i left office wages were rising, uninsurance rate was falling, poverty was falling. that's what i handoff to the next guy. so when you hear all this talk about economic miracles right now, remember who started it. i am going to negotiate a better deal. how exactly are you going to negotiate that? what magic wand do you have? liz: that's quite the contradiction. let's bring in peter navarro. >> i have a magic wand the president gave me to give to you. liz rr what do you think about obama taking credit. >> the only thing that grew under his tenure was his debt. it went from $10 trillion to $20 trillion. as i said another obama didn't understand the difference between a structural problem we had with trade and too much regulation and too high corporate taxes and a i chicago cal problem. so all he did was print a bunch of money and double the debt. boom! president trump comes in and it's a step function, business confidence, consumer confidence,

former president barack and michelle obama in washington, d.c., former obama attorney general, eric holder, though it was sent to the wrong address, so it was sent back to the return address, which was oddly democratic congresswoman, debbie wasserman schultz in sunrise, florida. billionaire financier, george soros. democratic congresswoman, maxine waters on capitol hill. and, of course, this device sent to cnn's new york headquarters and addressed to former obama cia director, john brennan, care of cnn. minutes ago, the time warner center where cnn is located was finally cleared by law enforcement and reopened. it is early yet in this investigation. no doubt we will learn more details and perhaps assertions made by law enforcement at this hour will be ultimately updated. right now law enforcement is describing many of the packages as containing rudimentary but operative explosive devices. or bombs. meaning the intention appears to be mass murder. and though we do not know the name or motive of any suspect, investigators have no doubt taken note of the fact that all of the targets are peopl

look, president obama, there was a poll that showed president obama had 63% in his popularity.is the most popular living president that we have. there was a detroit resident that i read today online that said president obama still is president until he gets a new one. and i think that says it all. so what president obama and joe biden are doing are the closing arguments. the closing arguments of less than two weeks as to why people should go out. let's not forget we actually have data that shows us for the past year the enthusiasm has been there on the democratic party in off-year elections and also in special elections. so now we have to do it. it's all about the ground game. and i think president obama is the best person out there to make that argument. and he said in his speech. he's saying, look, we can't let history pass us by. we can't sit back, and we are a country of movements. whether it's the lgbtq movement, the civil rights movement, the womens rights movement, we have to take action. and i think that is indeed resonating. you see thousands of people lining up waitin

that's why you see president obama out. you see joe biden out, because we know that that's what it's going to take to energize our base, and to turn voters out. >> john mentioned the polling out. let me look with you at the new nbc news wall treat journal poll. mark is with us. a couple highlights you're noting and kind of working through. right? >> yeah. first the highlight is the unprecedented enthusiasm. 65% of all voters have high interest in the upcoming midterm elections. we have never seen that for any other midterm cycle for our poll dating all the way back to the 2016 midterm cycle. you end up seeing 72% of democrats having high interest. 68% of republicans high interest. but also what's very notable is you end up having latinos, women and younger voters with much higher enthusiasm and interest in the election than in our previous surveys this year. and what's really interesting about that higher interest from latinos, women and moillennials is it translates to a lead on the congressional preference, having a 50% t

it was very polarized under president obama, unbelievably polarized under president obama. person holding a sign who gets paid by soros or somebody. >> he -- that underscores your point. >> 100%. he has to take responsibility for that. this is his rhetoric that is creating this moment and this could have been so much worse than what happened today, and i -- this is a leadership test for him if he is going to be able to step up and i am so curious to watch how he handles his crowd of supporters tonight in wisconsin. this is a leadership test for him, if he is going to step up and take some responsibility and adjust his actions. he has not done course correction. that's not part of the trump persona. i think the test is on him right now. >> we'll see what he says and if he specifically mentions all these individuals as well as cnn, which was clearly targeted today as well. david, what did you think in is ? >> i agree with david. the president, though not responsible for sending out these passackages or bombs, he responsible for turning up the temperature on our political disc

obama: his wife and two children paid $1200 a month for health insurance. >> dear president obama, i'm writing to tell you about the $15 my family donated to your 2012 campaign. it is about wanting to say that $15 means something these days. $15 is a special pizza dinner at our local pizza stop. it is one and a half tickets to see th new film at the cinema we walk our daughters to. odit is getting fresh nstead of frozen. >> dear president obama, i hear that you are good at correcting homework. i wonder if you could look at this. particularly the highlighted portion ond he back. how do? thank you. mr. obama: it gives you a sense of what is best about america and inspires you and makes you want to work that much harder to make sure that that spirit is reflected in our government. laura:ri jeanne laskas letters,all of those plus many more. "toresult is her new book, obama." imshe joined a shortago. how important are these letters to president obama for him tope take the tture of the nation? jeanne: it was something he set out to do on the second day of his presidency. he said "i would lik

hagedorn: how may people didn't have health care before obama care? feehan: that they would pay more. hagedorn: they are paying less now? seriously? feehan: a private company wanting to make money off of their health care you talk about the cost i don't accept that. hagedorn: if you think things are better for minnesotans after obama care you need to head out. >> i am saying the status quo is not working everyone i have talked to every day simply wants more affordable health care the ability to go to the doctor not be there own doctor because these cost that will what we will pay in the first place of hundreds of millions of americans on a private plan right now they think it's great i just want to make sure that is as us affordable as it could be that's where we are failing right now that's why washington d.c. is a dysfunctional place is failing to take any action. >> those on private insurance pay for those who are on government insurance it will reimburse hospitals and doctors at 40 or 50 cents on the dollar if you expand that you will degrade medi

obama said knock it off. but obama is talking to his second in charge, tell sl -- tel vladimir i will talk to him after the election. obama was told russia was trying to meddle in the election. he didn't say anything about it or do anything about it. he only brings it up after the election. that should be the investigation. why didn't he do something by the. and it didn't affect one vote. but obama was told before the election in september by the fbi about russia and possible russian meddling. you know what he did? nothing. you know why? he thought hillary clinton was going to win and he didn't want to do anything to upset that. just to finish. the last thing putin wants now, i can tell you is trump. he would much rather have clinton. trish: china doesn't want you either? president trump: i don't think china is too happy with me. we are winning with china. a man named pillsbury, an expert. trish: i know him, michael pillsbury. president trump: he said china for the first time he's never seen anything like it,

president obama blocked that. after that, make sure we have a policy in place. we have abundant, reliable, affordable energy. when the price of energy goes up, the price of every product and service in our economy goes up. money out of your back pocket, makes us less competitive. all of the thing they wanted to do going to take power from the united states and send it to the around the world. brazil, china, india and others. he wants to do something about it. you support the tax? you support camp and trade? what do you support? you support -- >> just be clear, you don't support any of that? >> no. >> the answers to do nothing then. he told you about the risks. this is a real thing. there are military installations around the world at risk of climate change. they are in place right now. if you came aboard, we need to do something about claim aboard, what would your reaction be? >> if he said that, we have to it adapt, do whatever we can. i didn't hear him say, he's for the climate records, he's for a ban on tracking, he's -- >> make sure we are supporting and def

the package to cnn was addressed to john brennan, the former fbi director for president obama. john brennan does not work for cnn, john brennan has a commentating contract with nbc and msnbc. not with cnn. what would that fact mean to you as an investigator, that they're sending this to him to a place he does not work. is this somebody who's uninformed? is this somebody who's trying to throw us off the track? >> it does show a level of unsophistication. the package was mailed to ten time-warner center, which is not the actual address, if you google it, that will come up, that's the actual address for cnn but it's not the actual mailing address. this could be an individual going online pulling up addresses, but it does show a level of unsophistication that law enforcement will key into, how were these packages mailed, what was the return address, how was the label printed. was it posted service or u.p.s., and was it hand delivered to george soros' mailbox. it appears that these had different points of delivery used to get them to their specific locations. >> there are some other

the targets include former president barack obama and michelle obama in washington, d.c., former secretary of state hillary clinton and former president bill clinton in new york. former obama attorney general eric holder, though the package was sent to the wrong address and sent to the return address which was, oddly, congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz's office in sunrise, florida. of course she didn't send that package. the exact same return address, we should note, was used for clinton's and obamas' packages. devices were also sent to democratic congresswoman maxine waters on capitol hill. they're still trying to figure out if it's tied to these other incidents, as well as one sent to liberal billionaire and philanthropist george soros and to cnn's headquarters where it was addressed to john brennan, former cia director. this is the device that was sent to the time warner center. as i said, it was addressed to president obama's cia director, john brennan, a vocal critic of president trump. now the packages are being described as rudimentary but operative explosive devices, leading in

he doesn't have that magnetism that obama has. that's my sense. >> nobody is obama. i painfully watched the speech in iowa and i give them credit. he's a real comair for this nomination. i agree with you. he wanted to work with conservatives on issues like criminal justice reform. he thought hillary clinton was going to be the president, he thought he would be the bridge builder. it's all about appealing to #resistance and the search and destroy. the reason for that, laura and chris, the democratic party is in this mortal combat. is it going to be a socialist party or is it going to be a center-left american capitalist party? when you have a majority of democrats not saying they would like to be a socialist party, that's why these candidates go to the left. it's a gallup poll, chris. i'm going to send it to you. >> send it to me, matt. you are making it up. speak of the gallup is a pretty serious paul, chris. >> matt, come on. your idea of bipartisanship is liberals giving up their values to vote with conservatives. my idea of bipartisanship is compromise for the com

it is being built at a sharp departure from the obama approach. gillian turner's here to explain it. >> good evening shannon. the trump administration is having the inaugural terrorism strategy as a nation's first articulated terror strategy since 2011. the statement reads in part "as your president i'm committed to protect the united states and its interest from abroad and the threat of terrorism. under my leadership the u.s. has accelerated efforts to be terrorist. we've decimated isis and syria and iraq in the u.s. participation in the horrible i run deal." for weeks now the entire national security team has been returning to one central team. a renewed commitment what they call, foreign policy. everyone from the mike pompeo to nikki haley to the president himself has reinforced the central killer of the campaign. john bolton kicked it out a few weeks ago with his speech at the federal society and today he said this. >> we will deny terrorists the freedom to travel and communicate across international borders. this strategy stresses better inte

you can call this the obama clinton doctrine because president obama said repeatedly, i believe in a smarter kind of u.s. leadership where we combine military power with other kinds of leveraging around certain legal norms. now, why do i mention this? to trump doctrine is the opposite. instead of engaging, disengage. america first. instead of translating rules of law to modern situations, say there are no rules of law. it's a black hole. the u.s. acts based on its national interests, not rule. there is little or no leverage, no diplomatic engagement strategy and the rule of law is rarely mentioned. now, it is a little much to call this a strategy while we wait asked over the last few years now is daily impulses. but they push in that particular direction wherever possible reverse obama, reverse with hillary clinton would have done. if you have to exercise power, do it in an isolationist way. hard power is preferred preferred. withdraw from global leadership, undermine international institutions and when challenged, make extreme claims of presidential power and judicial deference. to

and president obama had a lot of women in top positions. in his lastrs three y the top three national security aides re all women. which is extraordinary. >> and now of course in light of the "me too"ovement and current events and the current administration that's changed for you, what is it like to follow president obama around and attend all these trips wit him? >> well, it was very hard on your personal o,life. but it was a great privilege. it was a eat way to see the world. oftentimes president obama would atry to go and visit cultural site when he was in a country he hadn't been in before. thoses, were the best tr when we got to do something like that. >> and did you get to see anoer side of h that we don't? >> well, i mean, the great thing him iny job too is i saw all compartments of his life. i mean, i'm in the situation room with him. but then i'm often with him and the girls, him and the whole family. so i saw all the ascts of his life. and he's not any different than we perceive, than most people perceive. he's probably funnier th

during the obama administration there were beheading. then beau bergdahl who was convicted of treason. we give money in exchange for him. how can there be such a difference of behavior. if you are not threatening them, what is he doing? >> he made the country respected again and feared again. he doesn't go on a worldwide tour and apologize for the greatness of america. instead he comes in and said america is great. we'll work with other countries. we have great relationships. the president developed incredible relationships from leaders all over this world. he means business. what he says he does. the promises he makes are the promises he keeps. and you saw that today with the return of pastor brunson. so many people in congress helped as well. this president turned this country around. the world has taken notice. and that's why you are seeing so many successes on a global scale. judge jeanine: i want to talk about "the washington post" columnist who is missing and some people are suspected has been murdered in the saudi consulate in tur

obama's are big star.ied that. >> i'm going to have to interrupt because we've got some breaking news. firefighters are battling a huge fire burning into buildings in morris county, new jersey. this is a six alarm fire broke out this afternoon. the commercial building includes apartments on the two top floors. that is very worrisome. officials say everyone was evacuated safely. we don't have more details on that as far as injuries go. we'll bring you any updates as soon as we get done. we'll be right back. stay with us. it isn't a deadly predator. or a made-up creature. it doesn't have wings, horns or teeth. there's no self-appointed crown. it doesn't repurpose someone else's legacy. it's not a metaphor or the result of a merger. it's none of those things. it's our family name. david: one texas billionaire going to war against big drug companies. ex-energy trader john arnold is putting millions of dollars to work to try to curb hydro prices by setting up a nonprofit to make generic drugs at reasonable pric

i do blame obama.uring the last 8 years how he divided this country starting with his trayvon martin, the michael brown hands up don't shoot, that was black lives matter. -e-s, all based on a fake story. i feel side for people who becauseo cnn and msnbc these people have brainwashed you for decades. john is also a host and brings up topics, but can we bring up the fact that obama was our first gay, black muslim. why do you think he pushed the whole transgender thing? michelle obama is not a woman. she is a man and that is not their kids. we have been duped. host: good morning. caller: i'm calling to say, when i put the news on it is like halloween 24/7. i see wolf blitzer, joe cuomo, the, chris view, sports, everyone is talking politics. when you put on television, you want to watch a game, a variety show, it turns into politics. the things they say is unbelievable. i can't believe how they get away with it. trump has the right to retaliate. even ted turner, who started cnn, he said cnn is getting away

how is that kind of fair because during obama care protests, those voters came out to protest obama care, spitting on congressmen, that didn't affect the heart land but when the left tried to protest the kavanaugh vote -- >> i have been on capitol hill for 45 years, around capitol hill, there were some tough antiobama care behavior on capitol hill. i don't think it was this bad. you know, all i can say is i was there, and i didn't -- i thought this was more -- and the thing is that these people that were protesting -- i mean, i know they are passionate. they felt strongly about it, but they really hurt their cause. and if i were dr. ford, i think i'd be pretty ticked off that, you know, what she did was undermined by people out in the hall and in the hallways who were not acting the way you really ought to act in the capitol building and in the senate office buildings of the u.s. senate. >> raymond in silver spring, maryland, democrat, good morning. >> caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i just want to ask mr. cook, what his opinion is about the democratic messaging. it s

obama live and staked out there. and they are always under the secret service protection and that is no longer a through-street because of the se secret service, and what is the situation here? >> well, andrea, this is the second most protected block in all of d.c. you have the obamas home four houses down the road, and up the street around the corner is jared kushner and ivanka trump's home. the secret service presence here is permanent, and we have seen the barricade, and increased presence of the uniformed secret s service, and the local police department, and definitely increase in the police presence here, and as with ron, we don't know if any of the obamas were home when this device was delivered, and we have to point out that the obamas do not receive their mail here. and so with all of the other the locations, there is a increase in the neighborhood, and some possibility of the secondary action and that sort of thing, but this is probably one of the most well watched and well guarded blocks in washington, d.c

minnesota did not need obama care. the one state of all that didn't need it with 94 percent of people covered with the system in place with pre-existing medical needs. if they said keep your doctor keep your plan now they say go to socialized medicine. that will make it worse and we can talk about that later so this is the biggest tax cut people get spending money for insurance or prescription drugs pretax nobody pays federal tax anymore that is where we have individual tax reform moving forward then to have accounts if you don't spend it you can keep your money is very important across the board major medical catastrophic coverage that could be done by the private sector those with pre-existing needs paid for by the insurance companies backed up by the government everybody getsns quality time nobody goes broken that is how insurance should operate. feehan: obama said they could stay on their parents until they are 26 and you could not discriminate with medical conditions. hagedorn: we were not doing that in minnesota

so what was obama's incrementalism by the title wave of trump but so while the fault obama and everybody to read hillary clinton's book what happened it is an astonishing account with that 3 million vote majority and with less than 100,000 votes all in. so now the link between policy, politics and law is very important obviously a world but after a while this becomes policy. so there is a huge fight whether additional protocol with humane treatment will or will not be customary with international law. that one of the problems by the way with government has to agree. is that you cannot clear something but with my speech in 2010 the part on drones was the last 20 minutes. in fact they were clearing the speech and i was delivering it. people from my office. and one commentator wrote they were riveted with his text. and didn't even ask for the position of the us government. and with that position anywhere for whatever time possible. i did not say that. but not impress upon that pre-existing prejudice like george w. bush. but three different kinds of constraints one is law. it can be domestic

i agree with president obama from 2005. i think every candidate should be asked do you agree or disagree with president obama from 2005. he is out there trying to take credit for a trump economy. you know what? to quote obama from 2004. he didn't build. this he didn't build that economy. president trump did and everybody knows it. steve: democrat would rather talk about healthcare because they think that's a winner for them and not immigration. >> they are wrong there, too. 20 million americans, it's estimated, still don't have any type of health insurance 8 and a half years after obamacare. it was a disalser for many americans. this president has put forth associated health plans, short-term duration plans. drufing privacies are going down. today he is signing historic legislation on the opioid crisis hr-6. steve: that's what i wanted to ask you about. >> incredible. passed 98 to 1 in the united states senate the same week the kavanaugh vote was happening. think about that. most hyper partisan divided week on capitol hill

all around the world of president obama saying that republican. criticism. is just fear mongering how receptive are people to that message that. interesting lee you know when i spoke with these attendees who were waiting in line to get in there out of four of them told me that immigration was their number one topic motivating their vote for this midterms which is interesting you know has been trump who says that the news of this caravan has been dominating the news cycle leading up to the midterms this isn't just two weeks and he has said that that that may be actually a gift to the republican party to campaign on using these tactics of as obama calls fear mongering but interestingly enough talking to the voters here in the democratic side they said that they are equally motivated because of that topical loan they said that these are refugees who are brave and in countering poverty and hardship to have this chance to enter the u.s. and it appears to me that they are equally motivated by this factor to go to the polls as their republican counterparts. all rig

the term you hear obama advisors use getting a lot of bang for his buck. when you look at the six public rallies he's done so far here in this mid-term stretch run, four have been in states where he won twice on the road to the white house in 2008 and 2012 but then that flipped to donald trump in 2016. you know, i also remember joe biden sitting on set with you all at the 2016 democratic convention, being rather candid about his concern that the clinton campaign wasn't doing enough to talk to these middle class voters, these voters who were potentially slipping away. i remember covering the last rally he did the night before the election he did with tim kaine.

agree with president obama. there are two fundamental choices. which direction i we going to go? the direction of the resistance, the people who want to replace president trump? the people want to take us back to the obama years and then some? that is where my opponent is on. keept to partner and working with like-minded people in washington to move in the right direction, to keep us safe, because progress -- process -- prosperous. feehanor: but let dan speak for himself. what is the role of congress as it pertains to the white house? i would be remiss, thank you for putting this together. thanks for having the forum. it is a great chance to see a contrast of approaches and substance. his could be more fundamental. i'm running to be an independent voice and washington, d.c. a constitution. it is one of the many ways in which congress in washington is dysfunctional right now because it is hyper partisan because people are unwilling to work across the aisle and people are unwilling to be a check and balance agains

president barack obama has told voters to be aware of efforts to exploit america's racially divisive past obama speaking at a democratic rally in wisconsin in the run up to november as midterm elections urged people to vote and said they should ignore some politicians anti immigrant rhetoric i did a castro has more from milwaukee. the former president made no mention of the attempted bomb attacks which was a notable choice given that obama himself is among the list of prominent democrats who were the intended recipients of one of those packages obama however did talk about the politically charged and divisive atmosphere leading up to the u.s. midterm elections saying that this is a dangerous time in which civility needs to make a return i've got to believe that there are certain things that transcend party and that whatever your political background i'm hoping you think it's wrong to hear people spend years months vilifying people questioning their patriotism calling them enemies of the people and then suddenly you're concerned about civility. please. and by the way we don't need mor

by obama. he said we can't allow people to come into our country undetected, undocumented, unchecked and circumventing the line of people who have been waiting lawfully. that's the idea the white house wants to hammer home. >> sandra: later today the president hits the road again. a busy week for him. where is he headed this time? >> in this case the president is another day, another rally on his way up to america's favorite place to buy and enjoy cheese and beer, dairyland. the great state of wisconsin. earlier in the week you saw the president was over in houston, texas, in the lone star state. first of four trips in the coming days. more mid-term rallies and let me take you across the map. you see texas, wisconsin coming up later today. also trips to north carolina and the land of lincoln, the great state of illinois. don't forget a big day here. the president signs the stop act continuing the battle against opioid abuse. we'll have details. back to you. >> sandra: wednesday morning at the w

normally we would have been going to war, i think president obama would have gone to war. if he had had an extra year he would be in a war with north korea. he said it's by far his biggest problem. and i'm not knocking him. look at what we've done and yet when they talk about north korea say what's taken so long? 70 or so odd years and they say i left singapore where we had our meeting, where we really had a very good meeting and a good relationship, like four months ago. they say the new line is what's taking so long? >> laura: how does it help expand your base to call them the enemy of the people? how does it help america heal in times like this? >> president trump: before we finished, we done a great job with north korea. they said we can't get them on anything because the sanctions are wrong, there's no missiles, we got our hostages back. we have the remains coming back. everything. now the new line is -- >> laura: why are you expecting there going to be fair to you? they're never going to be fair to you. >> president trump: i met. if that's the new line. i shouldn't h

the way that president obama. and the administration handled a lot of these issues was night and day compared to the trumpet ministration and i think it's fair to say that the obama administration got better and better in terms of how it dealt with the issue of immigration as undeniably true and i think immigration going to be but the reality is children were detained under obama children ended up being abused in detention under obama and lots of people innocent people who would not commit to major crimes were deported some of them were killed . to being to put that don't need to be some expression of regret apology from the democrats that if we're going to trump on this rightly so we need to also be a bit more critical of our own record and i think people were critical during that time both within the democratic you were in ministration did you raise can there in the budget in fact i talk about in april of two thousand and fourteen. the fact that i said that i was not comfortable at the time with the way that the
