david was the chief strategist for president obama's presidential campaigns and his senior adviser inhite house. jeff, before we get into the politics of everything, that was said today, i want to get to the reason democrats and republicans gathered in that same cathedral in washington, and that is to honor the life of an american hero, a man who dedicated his life to service and to this country. what moment seemed to reverberate through the church the most? >> well, ana, i think there's no question it was a celebration of the patriotism and the heroics and just the life service of john mccain. i think, you know, there are few characters in washington who are like john mccain. he was an american original in every respect, but i think that in today's very loud political moment, if you will, the sense that john mccain was giving a bui bit of a parting lesson in civility, in comedy, perhaps making one last effort to try and tell those gathered before him, both republicans and democrats, that, look, it does not have to be such a divided moment here. i think what was so instructive was the

brownsville organization and calling on city of chicago and the university of chicago and the obama presidentialcenter to sign a community benefit agreement, that says that if e we're going to invest tens of millions, well even more than that, in a presidential center on the south side of chicago, we're going to agree we're going to make some agreements that actually mitigate the harm and the destruction that can cause to the surmounting community, and a so folks should check that out obama cb airings and fighting for and obama made this comment you know trust me. excuse me -- no organizer of their stripe ever listens to anyone who says trust me. especially not their politician -- >> what? if they're a politician and so if you want to call yourself a chicago no chicago organizer -- works their stripes, trust a politician ever. and so i'm probably going to get this trouble and never get invited to any obama foundation events after this talk. but i thought he heard me say this before so they invited me to stuff. who knows -- so -- >> we were i think we're at the end of our time charlene will be ar

presidential. i thought president obama's speech yesterday showed he has taken some time off, he had to reboot duringme off. i think he knows this upcoming election, that was really the center of his speech is that democrats must get out and vote. you can organize all you want, you can resist this president all you want, but if you do not turn out and vote in november, all this change you want to see will not happen. >> does he have passion that matches that of the base? >> one of the things he did, victor, he sort of said hey, i had conversations with progressives, and progressives want to emulate some of the republican tactics. he said he did not agree with that. he said when he campaigned and became president not once but twice, he got votes from all americans. and i think that is the key. if you look at president obama's numbers in 2008, 2012, he did well with suburban educated whites. i thought he was fired up, ready to go. he was tan, relaxed. >> isn't he always tan? >> a little more gray. i think that the american people really are going to think twice about president trump, agree with a lot o

presidential library system. i admire many things that president obama did, but i think he made a big mistake in the way in which he has managed his presidential library center. one of the things that we attempted to do in 2006 when it became clear that the national archives would acquire the private nixon library was that we were hoping that by the way in which we transformed a private partisan library into a federal nonpartisan library, we might accidentally encourage other presidential libraries to shift away from the shrines that they had become. this was an understanding that those of us who were involved in this process had. it wasn't going to be forced on them, but the hope was that they might actually benefit from our example. i can't tell you how moved i am that we could have had an effect on monticello. i wish we had had that effect on other presidential libraries. and president obama's decision that his private foundation would run the museum, i'm afraid, put a stake in the heart of what we were trying to do. because what we wanted was to prove that a federal -- federal -- library could be nonpartisan.

. >> this is exactly the process that the executive order president obama come 10 plates for presidentialds it's exactly the way it's to proceed with the former president doing the initial review and the current president make the call. contrary to schumers's outrageous rhetoric, this is not unprecedented. the same thing happened on john roberts record and senator schumer protested that. on elena kagan they are documents were never obtained. and senate documents never produced the documents from her time working as a special staffer working for senator biden. everyone recognizes that there are privileged document that need to be carefully reviewed and can't just be made public. and senator schumer is playing games, trying to bamboozle the american people because democrats have no case against this nominee. they will require wanted to hear for a moment. to your point you are saying president trump gets the final edit. but there are still questions as to what could be in those 100,000 pages and why would a white house want to keep certain information from the public. and if there are no eth

is though, if you look at barack obama's record, is great vote-getter for himselfbut when his name is noton the ballot , it doesn't transfer . >> and the 2016 presidential election. >>chris: in fairness, i think you've got to blame that on hillary, not obama. >> that's a reflection of her but also a reflection of his endorsement falling for.he essentially burned to the democratic party to the ground by losing 1000 seats while he was in office. he didn't do enough with the dnc. the democratic operatives were very disappointed in how he focused only on his operation to get elected for president and let these other seeds go by the wayside. the thing he said was he wasn't just attacking president trump, he was attacking the republican party. trying to talk about how voters are essentially bigoted and they have all of these fears of people look different than them. barack obama got elected twice by a majority and for him to go out and continue to lecture the country about those issues when we've come so far, really rubs people the wrong way. finally, when it comes to whether he will be able to get back to his community organizing ways and be successful, i'm

obama review involved in? >> i worked on the sotomayor and kagan nomination's in 2009 and 2010. then earlier in the clinton years, i was very involved in the presidential selection of justice ginsburg and then the efforts to confirm justice breyer. >> did you support present obama's -- the late justice alia, when he chose merrick garland? >> i did. i was not in the government at that time, so i was an outside advisor but certainly helped the obama administration try to get a hearing for judge garland and try to get judge garland confirmed. i think he would've been a great pick. he is a very distinct as judge. the chief judge of the court that judge kavanaugh sits on. a senior official in the justice department. full think meritted consideration by the senate. >> for democrats, the repudiation of merrick garland stings. some say that is why democrats should try to hold up judge kavanaugh's nomination. how much of a factor is that for you? >> it is not for me. it is not a question of revenge or anything like that. what happened to judge garland was unfair an should not have happened. dwas a wrong of historic import. but i think judge kavanaugh deserves t

obama can i get it from here to here? >> look what happened in alabama during the special election there and seen higher turnout among african-americans during the 2016 presidentialpresident obama is still the democrat who can bring out the biggest crowds and raise the most money and unite the wings that include the bernie sanders and more moderate wing. aren't many democrats who can do that on a national stage and president obama can do that and i think part of the reason democrats are looking to bring him out more and have him more as a standard bearer when you have people on the far left' and moderates trying to figure out what the democratic message is. >> if he can't unite those wings and talk about all the time democrats have a feisty fight of their own and convince them can we talk about this in december? let's get through the election and keep a watch on that. >>> this sign of the times the president on the 2018 trail as a 2016 campaign aide is sentenced to jail. it was love at first slice but who wants to stop at one? for pizza lovers everywhere here's o, that's good! my new line of frozen pizzas with a twist one third of our classic crust is made with c

it is then senator and presidential candidate barack obama from the senate floor speaking on october 1. senator obama the fact that we : are even here voting on a plan to rescue our economy from greed and irresponsibility of wall street, and some in washington, is in outrage. it is an outrage to every american who works hard, pays their taxes and is doing the best every day to make a better life for themselves and their families. and understandably people are frustrated and angry. wall street's mistakes have put their tax dollars at risk and they should be. i am frustrated and angry as well. but while there is plenty of blame to go around, and many in washington and wall street who deserve it, all of us, all of us have a responsibility to solve this crisis because of the financial well-being of every single american. there will be time to punish those who set this fire, but now is not the time to argue about how that happened, or the neighbor's sleeping in his bed, right now we want to put out the fire. now is the time for us to come together and do that. the house of representatives

obama to what they saw from president trump. a world of difference. >> it felt very presidential seeing him behind the podium for sure. sident obama mention on friday this president, president trump, by name in his attacks. some would say, that is not presidential. are you at all concerned that president trump might use this to inspire his base to turn out? who do you believe could drive more of their voters to the polls? >> well, first of all, the president has attempted to do what his predecessor did, president george bush, who would not criticize president obama as all. as mayor of kansas city, up won't criticize the mayors who follow me. however, i think this is a unique situation. we have never had a situation like this in the history of this republic. and so some extraordinary things have to be done to confront an extraordinary white house. and so i know that the president struggled before making the decision to come out and actually use the president's name. he didn't call him a dog, he didn't call him down or say he had a low i.q. president obama stood with dignity and brought to the attention of the american p

obama. the new guys that's presidential appointees come in with an agenda and they look at bureaucrats and say it's us versus them. get the bureaucrats to do what we want them to do. understand when's happened in the past 48 hours and when's happened previously with comments like and we underplayed it. the vmi speech by secretary of state tillerson. he was presence but said this president has a problem. my point is now insiders, that is presidential apopointees saying we're part of the system, as well. i have never seen anything like this, ever. >> let's get joey jackson in on this. >> wolf, the united states of america is an example to the world. right? we lead by example. we set example and we're looked at as an institution and a democracy upon which everyone else should follow. think about how sad of a day it is when you have the leader of that country, that does not have the trust and respect of the people around them who are of a similar party. now, forgetting about policy differences. this goes beyond that. this goes to the core of a fitness to serve in office. who you are. what you thin

does it bother you that the obama administration authorized testifying, before a presidential campaigned prior >> tucker: that carter page was spied on? >> that is not been established, number one. then in fact president obama authorized -- >> tucker: his administration authorized -- >> are you going to interrupt me for the entire segment? >> tucker: i'm clarifying. authorizing spying in connection to the trump campaign, does that bother you? >> that has not been established. if it was established, of course it would bother me. are we going to get to the facts of my clients case? >> tucker: i'm going to ask another question for us, because you are traveling around the country as a commentator on politics. i'm curious about what you think. i do not think that is illegitimate. it has not been established that carter page was spied on? >> how many times are you going to ask me and the same question. i've already stated in my view i do not believe that president obama has been shown to have authorized this spying -- >> tucker: my dog to the question? you traveled here with policy advisors

. >>> presidential putdowns. former president obama back in the political fray for the first time since leaving political office and taking on the republican party. >> it did not start with donald trump. he is the symptom. not the cause. >> president trump firing back. >> i'm sorry i watched it, but i fell asleep. >> and more fireworks could come later today. we're live with the latest. >>> deadly mistake. a white dallas police officer facing a possible manslaughter charge as early as today after fatally shooting a black man at her apartment complex. the officer fired her gun when she accidentally entered an apartment she thought was her own and he was there. his mother in disbelief. >> i could not believe it when we got that call. it just feels like a nightmare. >>> all that plus what a mess. a cirque du soleil show cut short after a mechanical malfunction sprays vegetable oil all over the cast and audience. >>> open and shut. top men's tennis player nadal out of the u.s. open. forced to quit in the middle of of his match, while seren

. >> mccain's second presidential run was against barack obama in 2008.arther to the right and much closer to the white house. >> john mccain, interestingly, understood that he lost in 2000 in part because he didn't have enough conservative mantra. >> it's a totally different campaign from 2000. much more careful, much more scripted. >> but he's still not afraid to speak his mind. >> so, that moment when the woman steps up and says she's afraid of obama and that he's a muslim, was vintage mccain. >> i can't trust obama. i have read about him and he's not -- he's not -- he's a -- he's an arab. >> no, ma'am, no, ma'am. he's -- he's a decent family man, citizen, that i just happen to have disagreements with. >> when he heard those comments, he was willing to call them out. and the playing to fear of foreigners, fear of immigrants, fear of those different than us, that was as anti-john mccain as you could get. >> but the biggest surprise of mccain's campaign, his running mate. >> his brain trust gets together and says, you know, there are lots of women who re

presidential speeches. >> i welcome president obama on the campaign trail. he is fighting for the issues that people care about. our healthcare is on the ballot. our democracy as we know it is on the ballot. >> what this president, donald trump has been able to do, is fix the problems of the obama administration. i listened to this speech and highlighted nine fallacies that president obama talked about. every day he's on the campaign trail is helping republicans remind the voters have what they don't want to see come forward in november. >> jon: they both say having the president of former president out there is helping drive the faithful. you wonder, does it cancel each other out? >> i think to lewandowski's point obama going out there and talking about his presidency and what democrats have done in the past decade is only going to bring the trump base to be more motivated and they don't want to return to a democrat run government. i think trump going out on the campaign trail could also do the same thing and angered liberals to force them to come out in no

. >> but this is -- we have a very small presidential office compared to obama, like half the staffers last time i checked. >> it really depends who it is. >> but we've always been concerned from the beginning that there were people in this administration who did not buy into the trump agenda. look down upon it, we could thwart the agenda whether it's the wall, and we are kind of laughing at the agenda. i was worried about it and i walked by like minded people who were there from the very beginning were still worried about it. >> it really depends who it is but i also think that's not particularly relevant. meaning, who it is. but what i want to say is -- >> laura: it could be someone in the west wing. and that's a problem. >> it would be a problem and here's what i want to say. the president said something today that really rang true. "the new york times" apologized to its readers because they got the election story wrong. but he said he many people don't understand how he got here and what he's done since he got here and what it all means to people. and that's incredibly important be
