no, barack obama loud. and the best speech in american history is no barack obama like my personal favorite speech. i think it's a speech, a favorite of a lot of speechwriters is the robert f kennedy speech that he gave in south africa. is that your favorite? okay. so that's so there you go. so, you know, if you've never second inaugural, but it's not that contemporary to this, but if you haven't never have a chance to read it, take a few minutes, listen to it. there is audio of it. so he's in south africa. he's speaking to a conference of youth. and and he's speaking about the power of youth. it's the famous ripples of hope speech and one of the beautiful sections of it is see that i love about it so much is that he sort of goes throughout history. jesus. martin luther king, martin, you know, the original martin luther. and he reminds us all that these people, all these great historic actions for change that they took occurred when they were in their twenties, in their early thirties. so it's a tremendous

because the obamas were introduced the vineyard, if you remember the speech that really gave obama the notoriety and it was his 2004 address at the democratic in boston. and apparently that was very stressful. and his good friend and his finance, valerie jarrett, who was a frequent visitor to the vineyard at that time, to him, barack, you really need to go to the vineyard and that will let you for a few days and. that's when he and his family really embraced the vineyard and said, this is a special place and it was after that that they began to frequent the old whaling church and they knew people. charles ogletree from harvard school and henry louis gates, who were frequent visitors to the vineyard and, really it became part of their family fabric, if you will. and this is just a list of the the various times that obama visited the vineyard during his presidency in fact, the only year he didn't the vineyard was in 2012. the reelection year. he was too busy obviously that time. but this is to acknowledge carol mcmanus, the owner of expresso and the muffins. she out the note save for bil

even obama.a or if it's biden or even kamala, they never had real jobs but yet they lead government being worth 20 or $30 million? how is that possible? it defies all laws of physics or science these people that come in with nothing and leave with 20 or $30 million of their own personal wealth, it's disgusting. the hard working men and women of america that work their entire life for 30 or 40 or $50,000 a year should not have to pay for this and the gop is not going to put up with it. liz: congressman rulli, thanks for joining us good to see you. >> appreciate you, liz. ♪ liz: is the tide turning in washington? democrats have dominated washington for generations. its been a bad week for democrats. first tulsi gabbard and now rfk jr. confirmed. guy benson will break it down. plus, the obama brothers barack obama's aids now have doge envy. they aim they wanted to cut government waste as well, but democrats neither own doge. former trump deputy press secretary hogan gidley reacts to this new sound,

boyle: someone who has spoken well on this topic repeatedly was barack obama. he has referenced the fact that we all have older relatives who might put something in a way that might not be entirely politically correct or the language used today. it doesn't necessarily mean they're bad people or should be canceled. there are a lot of people with a good heart and good intentions but might put things in a different way. i very much believe we should not be about canceling them or dismissing them. and i think that sort of instinct actually turns a lot of people off. tara: right, definitely. >> i'm from pa-5, tellco so happy p.a. is in the house. it really seemed like joe biden with not push back on the left at all and felt like bernie sanders was running his economic policy and my question is how can democrats, it seemed like obama did this more, push back on the left than sort of staying moderate because i feel a lot of people were turned off by some of joe biden's policies. mr. boyle: it's interesting you have that perception because i have heard the same questio

barack obama had an initiative.it was an anti-bullying sort of initiative. >> her husband was bullying people while she was doing hashtag be best, but she. >> was. >> still the first. >> but that's the same. that's the reason why the right did not like michelle obama. it wasn't because of michelle obama, it was because of her husband. and i think in one of those instances, you can say that there was an element of sexism in there in the same way that it was for, um, melania trump in that people dislike them even more because of their husbands, not because of anything necessarily that they did, but because of their husbands. and i think that's what we're seeing. but i think that this rfk, this is a good effort. we don't know what he's going to do. i'm not as concerned that he's going to do things around the vaccine, because at the end of the day, operation warp speed, despite what conservatives may say, that was donald trump's thing. >> well, listen again, i was inside the building when we were doing this at fox, and

so did president obama. but it's clear this is just like the soviet union in terms of their ambition for their country. they only respect one thing, and that's strength. and that we learned from ronald reagan peace through strength works pretending enemies don't hate you does not work. you can hide out at they're still going to hate you. michael talk at his party. not all of republicans in his party agree with his mindset. i think there's a growing number who don't agree with it and one of them is going to be sworn in as the vice president, j.d. vance, who is a harsh critic of ukraine. ukraine's an issue that i think really stands out in senator mcconnell's career because it was a time when he put himself at risk. he put the politics of it at risk, in favor of an issue that he really cared about. it would have been easy to reject ukraine aid. instead, he worked to build a package to make sure ukraine had its aid. and it's a great example of something i think he looks at as a signature part of his legacy when

he was a horrible president. >> i am shocked the obama is at 59%.ybe unclouded by my own view i do not like what president obama tried to do this country. maria: he set biden's moves in motion he started it all, the weaponization of government was started under president obama and president obama left office, he changed everything that the intelligence community was doing so they could share information they were working on the russia collision story. >> what i didn't like about obama he went after small business he said you people think that you created the big businesses, you accept the tailwind of the united states behind you, you did not build that remember when he said that. >> my father had his own business you really did build it, he built the i know he built it my grandfather built it. billions of dollars, under obama billions of dollars of infrastructure that did nothing. >> you know what was striking about this george w. bush left office, his popularity was in the tank and he's positive, there is hope for joe biden rehabilitating his image

no, bill clinton can be bill clinton and then barack obama. right. barack obama wins.ama coalition, which everybody thought was transferable, not transferable. and that's why donald trump and this the point. donald trump wins because he's donald trump. like donald trump's political skills are not transferable. just like reagan's weren't just like clinton's weren't just like obama's weren't just like his weren't. >> yeah. >> but i think that's right. i think it's also true that the country at large is so at. >> the moment, distrustful of institutions, of government, of people who work in government. there's so much anger. and that is one of the only kind of constant threads between. >> republicans and. >> democrats is. >> a. >> distrust of all of these. >> institutions. >> including the media, by. >> the way. >> yeah. and i think. at that moment. >> that moment is made for someone like donald trump. >> to come along. >> as a i'm going to come break. things and. be a disrupter. >> now. no one here. >> believes that that's that he is the solution, right? >> no question. >

when michelle obama actually had success in doing this.'re forgetting that. >> how much do you all think that democrats always have in a message and a slogan and an initiative? rfk, rfk just came out like, yeah, sugar's bad, seed oil bad, no dyes. and everybody's like. >> yeah, but the other part of rfk is that we can question about what he's what he eats, what he does, what he's like. he's this is the same man who feels like covid 19, um, had different resources in terms of how it attacked black people differently versus. >> white people. >> don't hurt me, junior. there there are a lot of issues with him and the the worst of which is his ties to these kook, you know, kook science, his his lies about vaccines. but let's just take this as the thing that maybe is the most popular thing. uh, it was something that if we had done it 12 years ago, we wouldn't be in this position. >> at all to do it. bloomberg tried. >> to do it, and he was vilified for it. he was the healthy and hungry, hungry, hungry, free kids act. uh, that basically echoes wh

this was obama's more obama triggered it by over throwing the, the legitimate government of, of, uh, t, as in 2014 and then building up a huge here granting an army to attack the russian speaking areas adjacent to the, to rushes border in the don boss. and, and so it's just, it's just, it's a time of that, you know, i think, you know, i think roger will have to be watchful. i think certainly brain will be struggling to get his voice urge and negotiations. but i see piece coming out of this. yeah, i did talk to is on the way it appears at just to touch upon what you said there is a lot of there puts an inviting president from at to moscow. how likely is it that a personal $1.00 to $1.00 meeting between the 2 happens? well this goes back to the president. trump's 1st administration, he uh, he liked president per personal way. he was impressed by the way that he that he ran rushes affairs. and so he, he's very transactional. uh, president trump likes to talk to individuals march to hear their view. it's been terribly important for president trump the 1st one way talk with with the presi

you don't think bernie sanders is barack obama? >> no. >> no, don't get me there.ary clinton. and you followed hillary for a long time. andrea. >> could joe biden have defeated donald trump? >> oh, i don't know. >> i don't know. i'm not going to speculate on that. >> if you don't have a majority, if she has a majority and more of the popular vote, would you then concede? >> look. >> if we do not. >> have a. >> majority, i think it's going to be very hard. >> for us to win. >> are you. >> sorry now? you said yes to john mccain on august 29th? >> not in the least. >> absolutely not. >> are you hurt that some of his people have criticized you? >> what? i have discovered that there on a national level, this kind of took me aback because, andrea, we see it on a state level. when you. >> run a campaign, you get a lot of strange people who kind of leech themselves into a campaign, some odd hanger honors. >> you know, back. >> in my days, they used bayer aspirin for contraceptives. the gals put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly. >> excuse me. i'm just tryin

but crimea was obama, and then bush gave them a lot. you remember.is is sort of the standard little phrase, biden is giving them everything, because this is a war that should not have been had. and the only one who did not give them anything is trump. >> there's nervousness in wall street about the impacts. pres. trump: there hasn't been very much. i think it will make the united states stronger, and in many ways to make and make other countries stronger, too. you know, other countries want to have a strong united states, they want to have a strong america, and i think it's going to make us very, very strong. much stronger. and there is a lot of work we are doing on the military already, contracts to be built that are very substantial, building the greatest equipment. we have the greatest military equipment in the world. we are building it. at some points come up when things settle down, i'm going to meet with china, i'm going to meet with russia in particular, those two, and i'm going to say, there's no reason for us to be spending almost $1 trillio

where is barack obama?etire and go work in hollywood and netflix and create documentaries and shows. we need to have a serious conversation about the black community and our support of the democratic party. >> jesse: we found kamala, she spending valentine's day with dog. joe biden is the hardest hit. and here's obama snuggling up with michelle. don't they make a cute couple? you can just tell how much he loves her. sorry democrats, the messiah is not coming to save you, you're stuck with msnbc. >> if donald trump announced tomorrow that he was selling the united states to vladimir putin personally and that we will now be owned by the kremlin, every sing of republican would say yes, sir, and vote for it. >> jesse: we are not selling, we are on a shopping spree, where have you been? republicans aren't blindly obeying trump, they are respecting the 80 million voters who put him in office. even joy reed's colleagues say these hoaxes aren't clicking. >> there is an ease and using some of this rhetoric that is a

finally, stephanie young has served in the white house in both the biden and obama administrations. she's a former deputy assistant to president biden. she was a barbara boxer fellow here at the usc center for the political future. so thank you for being here and let's begin. dale, as i mentioned, the midwest has become one of the key battlegrounds. you worked for john glenn years ago. not just in respect to ohio but to the midwest, how many counties to john glenn used to win by 20% and 30% -- how did counties john glenn used to win by 20 or 30 points go to trump? >> i would like to make a comment more broadly on a theme of this panel. i am not sure it's quite that clear. earlier today, we had a question from one of the students who was here, who asked something similar, because when donald trump wins the kind of overwhelming victory he did in the electoral college, where he sweeps all seven swing states, when the republicans now control both houses of congress, it's easy to think this was an unmitigated disaster for democrats in november and it's maybe even easy to buy into trump's

do you think that this is a way to stop democrat activists going to judges biden and obama appointed to block doge and trump by getting legislation to cement this? >> we have to codify it no question about it but keep in mind, maxine waters is the same one whose been silent as our kids are going down the drain when it comes to education. in her state, because they are against choice, there's 75 cannot read and write and not yet one peep out of maxine waters so we're doing transformative, inter-generational and so thankful after covid people realize we have to change the course and put somebody in charge who loves our country and willing to disrupt what's happening for all these years so yeah, we're in the right place and excited to be a part of it and let's get ready. liz: what do you make of senator chuck schumer getting ridiculed on social media? he launched a tip line to report government waste and corruption. twitter users are saying go investigate yourself. look at the twitter feed here. what do you make of this? go ahead, congressman. >> i'm sorry. well, i'm sorry, i couldn't h

everyone loved barrack obama.everyone said maca is only saying that because she's not such a good orator as that person. and we always have speeches are not nice. they don't sound right. you know, she knows exactly that. he will draw a crowd of thousands and with only a few hundred. so i was living to a very difficult period and then they this column of victory was chosen, which is a wonderful place to and and while i was with a beating heart that i met him for the first time because i didn't know was he mad? i mean, he's a potential president of the united states. when we met, but he wasn't mad. we actually went along quite well. and once he became president, he gave a wonderful speech in front of the brandenburg gate. so this is i think these are similar stories. yes. hi. and i really wasn't mad, but she was always worried that i was mad. anyway. but when we first really had a serious discussion working together, it was in the middle of the financial crisis and really for the first five or six years that we were

so, 2008, barack obama was elected president of the united states. he had been a us senator, you might remember, had he lost that presidential campaign, he would have returned to just being a us senator. but he did not lose. he won. and because he became president, that meant there was a vacancy. he had to vacate his senate seat in order to move to the white house. and that meant the governor of illinois would have to appoint somebody new to take that us senate seat that barack obama was vacating. now, in pure partizan terms at the time, democrats were not all that worried about that because the governor of illinois was also a democrat. obviously, barack obama had been a democratic senator just in terms of the partizan math. nobody thought it would be that big a deal. but turns out that for the governor of illinois, his party affiliation was not the most important thing to know about him. the most important thing to know about him was that he was a total crook. a crook who decided to sell that senate seat for anything he could get, and then to talk a

i worked for president obama, shall obama's voting initiative for five years. work in this space of how to reach people and talk to them. there were so many barriers to doing things differently when they had been doing things differently. i can't remember what they spent about not only did they spend all that money on that ad but they went to every nook and cranny on what we call the dark where but it's the web now, it is out there, every place, every platform and preached their message and places we did not. was not presidential, was not appropriate. some of those places are not presidential or feel appropriate but that is what the american people are consuming. if we are not going to take on issues head on, we are not going to answer things head on and we are going to continue to push past it. people are beyond that. donald trump is a reality tv show host president. we are reality tv show culture right now. we want whatever feels authentic and i think because we face a playbook of let's not address the sin focus on those voters, it won't matter, it does matte

and the 44th us president brock obama was more than satisfied with the outcome. the death of a lot is a major blow to all kind of, most active operational ophelia is further proof that i'll try to, and its affiliates will find no safe haven anywhere in the world. the boy here is that he was killed but was never charged with any crime, despite being an american citizen. and this failure to correctly implement the law, it resulted in a major blow on obama's records, the american civil liberties union, and the new york times took legal action to get the release of the justice department memos, which justified his that the obama administration was. of course, not happy with that and took out its own law suit in return. in that document, the justice department states that the president's choice should not be subject to, to the soul review. and this is how the civil liberties union and responded to that . if the government's arguments were accepted, the current administration in every future administration would have unreal viewable authority to carry out. targeted kil

obama knew about the cave and try to fix it but failed.pent millions and just ended up hiring 200 more cave dwellers. >> we all know the government is slow, we know the government can be inefficient, we note bureaucracy can be bloated. we try to reorganize the government, we tried work on efficiency, it's hard to do. >> some of this is pretty annoying because it's the stuff we should have done. >> jesse: "the washington post" did a full six part series about bloated federal bureaucracy during the obama years. on the cave, the va, medicare fraud, social security. even biden was pro-doge. >> as long as there is waste and fraud in government and serious waste and fraud, people lose confidence in the ability of the government to do it's job for them. deal with taxpayer dollars. and when taxpayer money is wasted on fraudulent behaviour, it robs the taxpayers of not only their money but undercuts accountability for us to serve the people who we are elected to serve. >> jesse: no democrats are screaming at doge for cleaning up the waste that frus

that's the same company which represents the obamas.e bidens plan to do. nowhere just yet, but a word of warning to hollywood: biden doesn't do very well with directions. [silence] -- for the rain forest. him roaming around their. seemed a little listless. he is not the best at memorizing lines, either. >> all right. what am i doing now? [laughter] am i -- [laughter] >> and we all know he can be a bit of a diva. >> a great asset more inflation. what a stupid son of a [bleep]. >> yeah, that london. but the former president can be a bit dramatic. -- >> yeah, that's one of. but, the former president can be a bit dramatic. maybe that's why he's got an agent. that was him giving the -- speech, emily perry quinn covered on his show his ray-bans -- >> we recovered on our show that rain bands. they could make it to hollywood now, the ray-bans, and celebrate him. >> there was a backup quarterback in the nfl that was retained by a cantankerous coach for mike many years. while he didn't want him to play, he didn't want anyone else to have him. the

they were baffled by other obama. executive orders could happen. >> and it is true that if the executive. >> acts quickly, it takes. >> a long time for the other, other branches. >> of government. >> to. >> act. >> as you. >> were saying. >> in this case, the one of the branches legislative. >> might not. >> act at all because. >> it wants. this to continue. >> yeah. >> and they're certainly acting incredibly fast. >> peter, one of the things. >> that. >> i've heard from. >> democrats is that the focus. >> in the. >> house particularly. >> is, is. >> laser focused on. >> retaking the. house back. >> in two years time. >> they're spending. >> money already. >> in districts where they think. republicans might be vulnerable. >> which is. >> early in the cycle. >> to. >> try and soften up those districts, to try to win back the house. but if. congress is abdicating its. >> power and. >> its responsibility and the power of the purse so dramatically at this stage. how much benefit can. democrats get by taking back the house

but crimea was obama. and then bush gave them a lot. you remember. and then in fact just a sort of standard little phrase. biden is giving them everything because this is a war that shouldn't have been had. and the only one that didn't give them anything is trump.'s . reporter: is there nervousness on wall street pause of the impact? pres. trump: i think in will make the united states stronger and could make other countries stronger too. other countries want to have a strong united states. want to have a strong america. and i think it's going to make us very, very strong. much stronger. and we have a lot of work we're doing on the military. our military already. i've authorized some contracts to be build that are very substantial. the greatest equipment. we have the greatest military equipment in the world. we're building it. at some point when things settle down i've got to meet with china and with russia in particular, those two. and i'm going to say there's no reason for us to be spending almost $trillion on military. there's no reason for you to

he demanded a cabinet position for himself in obama's new government. or better yet, he wanted to be an ambassador. he really liked the idea. >> of being. >> an ambassador. rod blagojevich, as i mentioned, did a lot of this on tape. he was eventually charged with trying to shake down a chicago newspaper and a chicago children's hospital. he was. >> charged. >> with trying to shake down people who had contracts with the government for a kickback. campaign contributions. he was charged with lying to the fbi, and he was trying charged with trying to sell that senate seat. ultimately, rod blagojevich was convicted and he got 14 years in prison. but you know what? he might yet get to be ambassador to something. it might yet work. it just took a while and a long stint in prison in the meantime, because today, president donald trump said he is going to pardon rod blagojevich in confirming the pardon today, president trump denied widespread reports that he's also going to name rod blagojevich ambassador to serbia. when trump was asked about that today, he said,

senate seat that barack obama was vacating. now, in pure partizan terms at the time, democrats were not all that worried about that because the governor of illinois was also a democrat. obviously, barack obama had been a democratic senator just in terms of the partizan math. nobody thought it would be that big a deal. but turns out that for the governor of illinois, his party affiliation was not the most important thing to know about him. the most important thing to know about him was that he was a total crook. a crook who decided to sell that senate seat for anything he could get, and then to talk about it on tape. >> i told my nephew, alex, he. >> just. turned 26 today. >> i said. >> alex. >> you know. >> i call him for his birthday. >> and i said. >> it's too. >> bad you're. >> not four years older. >> because i could have given you a. >> u.s. senate seat for your birthday. >> yeah. >> you know. what i mean? >> i mean, i've got. >> this thing. >> and it's. >> golden, and. >> i'm just. >> not giving it up for nothing. i'm not

he sought to blame his predecessors, president obama and president biden. sought to lay the lay the blame for this at the feet of several individuals and several agencies. we must have only the highest standards for those who work in our aviation system. i changed the obama standards from very mediocre at best to extraordinary. you remember that. only the highest aptitude, they have to be the highest intellect, and psychologically superior people were allowed to qualify for air traffic controllers. that was not so prior to getting there. when i arrived in 2016, i made that change very early on because i always felt this was a job that, and otherjobs too, but this was a job that had to be superior intelligence and we didn't really have that. he raised many questions as to why the aeroplane and the helicopter were flying at the same altitude, as to why those in the helicopter hadn't looked out the window to try and see the aircraft, as to why the air traffic controllers hadn't been able to divert the helicopter away he seemed to also lay the blame for this cr

and putin and his invasion of crimea and obama responded with minor sanctions. trump comes in it's stability for years. there's no russia annex, xy or z. and over three weeks time, mark fogle is released and there's this conversation and talk about winding down the war in ukraine. there's a lot of if's. if he manages to wind down the war in ukraine get a status quo in the middle east where iran is on its heels and saudi peace deal this is a residential define presidential move that would put knew the realm of ronald reagan. a lot to be played out only three weeks in but these are very encouraging signs. >> i know it's a big moment and on this couch kaley and emily and i will talk about our faith and i think at this time our enemies don't like this. and if you were ever going to pray for a president and the united states of america, now would be a really to pray for our protection as a nation and for his. you talk about the speed at which he's moving, our enemies are leaning all the way in. >> ten hostages released in three weeks and to mark fogle's point when he

it was signed by barack obama in 2015.t legally binds almost 200 countries to limit global warming. from the agreement. the agreement on his first day in office in 2021. united states out. and in yet another twist in this tale, the billionaire and former republican mayor of new york mike bloomberg has said his philanthropic agencies will give the united nations climate body, which oversees the agreement, the funds on the campaign trail, he made clear his plans to get oil and gas flowing in greater quantities and killjoe biden�*s multi—billion—dollar support of the green transition, to further defeat inflation, my plan will terminate greatest scam in history, probably. a $10 trillion scam. in the last few days of his presidency, joe biden�*s administration legally protected almost $100 billion so, other than leaving the paris climate agreement, up permits for oil and gas exploration and roll back environmental protections. he's making drilling for oil and gas in the arctic and along and he reversed president biden�*s target

he blamed potentially by demonstration, the obama administration, people to judge the red uptime and there are literally pulling the bodies out of that water and not all the people have even been identified yet. does that go to the idea that trump can't help himself? [laughter] click some of it is. i'm a good friend of james. i've liked him for a long time. certainly like his wife a great deal and love their back-and-forth. i think sometimes james comes across as very negative. but i think one of the probes we have in politics today is both sides are running negative campaigns. what both sides are doing is teaching voters what to be against it. not what you before. and until we get our politicians to start talking about what they are for. if you look at what james is saying, most of what he is saying is what you should before is a democrat. even though he mixes it with banter which everyone loves. my feeling about trump is i don't talk about him like he is a disease. he is a symptom of where our country is today. and the main thing our politicians do wrong is they don't understand ba

i worked on obama 2012.hat was a machine built really early and the people knew us when i say the people what is is those running organizations are leading in the communities those are the people you are attracting when you're physically. there. and they help to bring other people in it is a hand in hand piece the doorknocking is different that doesn't work as well as it used to so we got to move away from that it's critical a presence but we did nothave a feel that there's a general election happening. >> zeroo presence. >> he was all digital. i am talking more about our folks, what they expected and what they needed to galvanize is not one and done. i know he's been able to be this magician from the wizard of oz and being able to manipulate and dodo things and digitally only. i don't think we have the luxury of doing that we have to do all of the above. >> i would like to suggest not just a messaging problem we have that immediate problem to for those of a certain age in this room may be old enough to reme

he did it during obama. he did it during biden. uh, trump, notably, of course, kind of russia, even as it had interfered with the u.s. election in 2016. we should note. >> right. well, i mean, trump right now is poised to give. >> vladimir putin everything. >> that he wants. uh, you know, crimea. eastern part. >> of the donbas, eastern part of ukraine, everything. >> that. >> um, that president putin wants is being offered to him even before the negotiations begin. although you could you could say that the negotiations have already begun. and they are between russia and the united states. and then ukraine. so this is a real, um, i'd say, quite surprising development and happening very fast. i mean, look at everything that vladimir putin got out of this news conference. he got, um, let's get russia back in the g-7. he got, i believe, putin when he says, uh, that he wants peace. he got, uh, i think also this idea that president trump has, which is, you know, it's called the great man theory, that it's it's not organizations, it's not
