as the obama administration was coming to a close. in september 2016, a ukrainian court cancels the oligarch zlochevsky arrest warrant for lack of progress in the case. in mid january 2017 burisma announces that all legal proceedings against it and zlochevsky have been closed. both of these things happened while hunter biden sat on the board of burisma. around this time, vice president biden leaves office. years later now, former vice president biden publicly details what we know happened. his threat to withhold more than a billion dollars in loan guarantees unless chopin was fired. here's the vice president. >> i said, i said i'm not going to we're not going to give you the billion dollars. they said, you have no authority. you're not the president. the president said, i said, call him. i said, i'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars. i said, you're not getting a billion dollars. i'm going to be leaving here. i think it was about 6 hours. i looked, i said, i'm leaving in 6 hours. if the prosecutor's not fired, you're no

[applause] [crowd chanting "obama!"] president obama: thank you.fellow citizens, i stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. i thank president bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. forty-four americans have now taken the presidential oath. the words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. yet every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. at these moments, america has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears and true to our founding documents. so it has been, so it must be with this generation of americans. that we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of

obviously obama here.that had the loathing directed towards him, except for kamala of course. i think in the end, we have all these factions, right? hillary clinton, mad that obama still beat her in 2008 and then biden's still mad that obama said don't run in 2016 and now kamala -- i don't know what she would be mad about exactly because she was handed the nomination. >> jesse: i mean her husband did kiss jill. so i'd be mad about that. >> i remember that. that's right. but hillary clinton, the look on her face the entire time during this? it was like she was forced to watch schindler's list. she's not a happy person. >> jesse: do you think barack is in trouble when he gets back to hawaii from hanging out with donald trump like that? >> oh, i think he's in trouble over at msnbc, cnn. how did you do that? >> jesse: going down to mar-a-lago next with fetter man. >> oh, absolutely. there's a golf game going on between the three. the pope of greenland, i've got my money on. he has a big swing, the pope. barack

president obama stood up. >> president trump a cordial greeting. >> between obama and trump it looksords. i don't know if there's been any reaction between former president bush and president-elect trump. there's no love lost there. >> here coming the clintons. former president clinton and presidential candidate hillary clinton, former senator. it's one of those rare moments in washington where we see these close and personal interactions among people who have led and will lead our country. >> eugene, wondering who among them was influenced by jimmy carter in their presidency. >> you know, i guess in a way they all wewere. certainly bill clinton, fellow southerner. obama and trump too in the sense that they were -- trump especially was an outsider coming in to washington. several of these presidents were annoyed by president carter at various times during his post-presidency when he spoke out and disagreed with what the current president was doing. they all -- i think all have this amazing respect for him because he was such a significant figure in our history. >> this exchange betwe

more dc sources say biden is falling apart and they were outraged that obama enjoyed chatting with obama and first lady jill biden ignored kamala harris. what's going on here? >> wow. just to unpack, they looked like rick els on the set of the tonight show. i'm sure obama engaging the way he did with president trump and causing kamala to look at them both like that, you know, that's cause ago complete and total meltdown on the left because who knew that hitler was funny. meanwhile, hillary and bill clinton entered without even acknowledging obama or trump and kamala harris entered without acknowledging obama or trump and biden's didn't acknowledge kamala harris and doug. this is better than any gossip girl episode and have shows you at least with obama, all this hatred towards trump calling him a fascist was all performance art but, boy, the obamas, the bidens, and the kamalas really don't like each other. couldn't get along at a funeral. what does that tell you? liz: former first lady laura bush was clearly entertained watching this all go down in front of her. so, you know, this story

i would say in general that obama has handed egypt very well. about the same i i would have done it if i have been in office. i probably would've been loyal at the beginning. the u.s. does not want to send signals that we will abandon you the first time. we had to show our friends and allies. that we will back you as long as you understand freedom and democracy. once it became clear that he would not do so, we did the right thing and giving our support completely to the revolutionaries. they did not want or need american support. they did not want to be branded as being controlled from washington's. they wanted the world to know that it was a self originating effort for freedom and they did not depend on washington to let them be successful. mr. updegrove: more broadly, mr. president, how do you think obama has done since stepping into office in january 2009? pres. carter: oh, i think he's done the best he could in domestic affairs. dealing with problems that president johnson and i and none of the predecessors of obama ever had to face. that is

what were trump and obama talking about at jimmy carter's funeral? to see that exchange, unsurprising and the former and future and current president's club in this country is teeny tiny. it's a handful and other 335 million of us. they probably -- maybe talked a bit of policy, maybe personal, it was a great exchange for everyone to see. this time in washington, people scream bipartisanship all the time, and then they vote, particularly the democrats, voting for inflation reduction act. all voting against trump's tax cut and jobs act, that benefited all of their states and congressional districts and the supreme court with the biggest first amendment case in a very long time and certainly republicans and democrats putting at the feet of trump as he's ready to go and be inaugurated banning tiktok a day before he takes office and he's basically saying, listen, people gave us a mandate and i'm active on tiktok and let it continue and let me take a shot at that but for obama and trump to show the world that people of differing parties and people dead set

as he falsely said that barack obama, falsely suggested that barack obama had not been born in the united states but that the first african american president in american history had actually been born in africa. a racist and malicious lie. but barack obama, nonetheless, attending this inaugural. michelle obama not there, as we have discussed in the immortal words, she would prefer not to attend. her absence from both the carter funeral and the inaugural is interesting. vivek ramaswamy who is -- was part of the department of government efficiency that donald trump -- >> i think he still is at this point. >> he is resigning from it and there is some talk of him running for governor of ohio. >> he's almost certainly going to be doing that. >> yeah, we're seeing several members of congress. i think most of them on the screen right now. >> brian mast, the incoming chairman of the house foreign affairs committee. combat veteran from florida. jim clyburn, who if it weren't for jim clyburn from south carolina, the dean of the south carolina delegation, i doubt joe biden would have been elected p

updegrove: how has president obama done handling the middle eastern situation? pres. carter: i think he's done quite well the last three weeks in handling the egyptian situation. at first, he and the secretary of state and the vice president were saying that mubarak was our friend, that we needed to have stability, and that someday there might be a change there, and we trusted mubarak to make the changes. that was the first series of statements made by the president and all of his subordinates. but as the times changed from one week to another, they became more and more supportive of the dissidents who were demonstrating against mubarak and then, finally, the president announced that he wanted to see the changes made to a democracy and freedom now. and that's when mubarak responded very angrily that he wouldn't respond to outside pressure. so, i would say that in general that obama has handled egypt very well, about the same way i would have handled it the same way if i were in office. [laughter] i probably would have been loyal to mubarak from the beginning because t

was barack obama faking it with trump at jimmy carter's funeral?look like it but we should not be surprised. the last time michelle thought trump she cried. >> after the inauguration, and we know who -- we know who's inauguration we were at, that day was so emotional on so many different reasons, there were tears, there was that emotion, but then to sit on that stage and watch the opposite of what we represented on display, there was no diversity, there was no color on that stage, there was no reflection of the broader fence of america. and many people took pictures of me and lkq weren't in a good mood. no i was not. >> jesse: michelle's absence is not bothering the trump team. they are having a good laugh about it. they did not expect her to come anyway. michelle is not the only one ditching trump's inauguration. nancy pelosi will not attend either. poor nancy has been on a losing streak lately. she gave up the gavel, stabbed joe in the back, broke her hip and now she's losing friends. doctor jill told "the washington post" this, i learned a lot a

barack obama. who probably isn't fighting with michelle obama over her decision not to go? barack obama because if there is one thing we have learned even if you are the president of the united states the one thing i will give obama a lot of credit for i loved when he said his daughters had no interest whatsoever in his opinion of what boys they should be taking to the dance. even if you are the president of the united states, you still lose arguments to your kids and to your wife. i actually think humanizes. >> laura: exactly. clay, great to see you. thanks so much. think twice going to war with pete hegseth. more comintrg up. ♪ we're here, right by your side.

in doing so, they indirectly questioned the legitimacy of obama's presidency. the idea that brock obama wasn't born in this country was never plausible, never credible. it was always some sort of, you know, right wing fever dream and rather than report on it, fox encouraged it and encouraged partly by having donald trump assigned to attorney donald trump, who joins us every monday at this time. good morning to you, sir. good morning. why can he produce a birth certificate? and by the way, there's one story that his family doesn't even know where he was born in dallas from welcome back. it's you, it's monday, it's time for you. what is your birth certificate? i want to know that the presenter was born in the fact is, if you are not born in the united states, you cannot be present at the top was good t, v. he was entertaining. he was willing to say, you know, wow, things that got people all worked up because donald trump's embrace of the birth or movement signaled to the tea party that he was there guy, and embrace some of the most radical anti system, anti estab

former president barack obama is confirmed.helle obama also just missed president jimmy carter's funeral which a lot of people are talking about that, too. this comes as president-elect donald trump announced tuesday he's going to create an external revenue office upon his return to the white house to collect all foreign source revenues such as tariffs, okay? he says for far too long we have relied on taxing our great people using the irs. through soft and pathetically weak trade agreements, the american economy has delivered growth and prosperity in the world while taxing ourselves. i think people at home are interested in hearing more about instead of ditching the irs how they are going to take tariffs from these other nations. back out here live the world economic forum is going to be going on davos. big tech names and finance guys won't be in davos. they will be here in palm beach like they have been trying to meet with trump and going to the inauguration. shows you a shift of world power there. back to you. >> brian: thank

barack obama had a coherent philosophy as a citizen. i happen to agree much more with fdr and barack obama. but i've studied reagan for decades and had a coherent worldview and he was a lot more than a mere actor. and he was he did a brilliant job throughout his presidency of developing that worldview and. i will also say that he he has demonstrated to be right about the soviets. so you're right that domestic that doesn't work won't resonate very and very in the long term. and i i'm i can think a recent example of that, that i'm not going discuss here today. so with inaugural speeches is the push and pull within the like the rhetoric. who speaks to the audience like what does he have stay in line like inspiring and showing a clear path to the future? i guess just asking, where is the push and pull with these speeches? the seven characters of an inaugural are like a recipe where. those seven ingredients are really required and if you're missing and in gradient i'm very fond of making the dessert cranberry lay and without eggs and and and

because you probably have watched past battles about spending, from the gingrich era to the obama erae cuts. when you get into it, the big- ticket federal government spending items are well, things like this, trillions right, it's big money but on safety net programs like social security and healthcare, the united states military, defense, and then what you have to do which is servicing interest on the debt, many governments use that model of funding so everything on your screen are things that majorities tend to value or are basically required and you can't default on the interest. administration can cut other things, vowing giant cuts will run back into what i just showed you, things that trump even vowed to protect. now, we will be hearing a lot about this in the next few weeks especially when they take office and if you take a broader view, some of this is not specific to elon musk or donald trump, there are long- running clashes about the cost of the government, so let's take a look at that. have been big jumps in spending but if you notice, well both sides come into office and s

when i talk about the obama period being over what i'm talking about is the senior leadership, obama, pelosi, schumer, all participating in a massive lie to the american public about his competency, there is a second point as well, which is the obama second term spawned what we would call religion of the democrats, which means that if you pander to enough identity groups, that that will be your political nirvana in the future and that one proved to be a foolish strategy,. it proved to be a foolish strategy but what happened was an enormous bureaucracy was spawned. ngos, foundations, all of whom relied on the opm, relying on the depression olympics for their fund-raising, for their social credit scores. the big question that people ask today is what do the democrats have to do? but what are the democrats able to reject, as it's being rejected across the western world, and elsewhere. >> trace: i have to go "the washington post" calls biden's legacy a bridge to nowhere going on to say like so many in his generation he vowed to empower new leadership then refused to get out of the way. he

so to me, obama was actually quite an astute politician. in terms of race, which was the overcast on his presidency, he was not managing that racial element. - he wasn't a civil rights leader. - no. exactly right. so he's a politician, not a civil rights leader. he gets reelected. if he had, in fact, done what so many in the black community wanted him to do, which is really- - he couldn't have been a president. - he wouldn't have been reelected, i don't think. - yeah. there are some who will point to the fact that donald trump did win a larger share of black votes in 2024 than he did in 2020 or 2016; given the changing dynamics and demographics of the country in 2025, we are actually now closer to this idea of a post-racial america. what do you say to that? - when you're talking about the increased number of people of color who voted for trump in the 2024 election, you're largely talking about young men of color. and they're saying, hey, i don't think the democratic party has delivered for me because, again, we go back to things like poor s
