oprah has that. and we've spun out of politics and now looking for excitement as well as our politics. so we have to remember that the goal post has been forever moved. not just about a politician. the standard politicians have to bring something else to the table for people to say wow, i'm going to throw it all behind you and stand by you, ride or die. this is a different day. and i think that's why we are so into this oprah-esque possibility of being running for president and i will remind you, the first black woman to ever run for president in 1972, was the late great shirley chisholm. see what happens here. >> thank you to all of you. coming up, white house officials are out in full force to defend the president's mental health. that's after his tweet calling himself a very stable genius. will president trump meet with special counsel robert mueller. the president appears to have opened the door to sitting down for an interview. we will dig into possible legal strategies for the white house. canc

then came oprah. strong speech designed to bring moral clarity to in the moral terrain. >> for too long, women have not been heard or believed. if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men, but their time is up. i want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon. >> greg: eight went on. the time is up button did not apply to her. with jean is having oprah on. it made the night about her not the scandals. even nbc called her the next president. that sounds familiar. nominate oprah. she wins. i'm not kidding. skip it, get to the point. put oprah up there. you don't even hold the election. it's over. oprah is an icon who unlike traditional politicians could match a wild card like donald trump. if she won, she could give everyone a free car. old roe versus donald. best, greatest election ever. >> kimberly: a woman ran for the president of the united states and if she wasn't such a bad candidate, she maybe would have won. condoleezza rice would have done better.

i listened to oprah winfrey's speech last night it brought me back to actually hearing oprah speak about time she heard barack obama speak and she said she had this feeling that this man could be president. well, i think we saw a lot of people responds to oprah in that way after she gave her remarks last night. she spoke for about eight or nine minutes. she spoke about memories from her childhood, being inspired, and then of course this me too movement. and really gave a message every inspiration and now, viewers analyst nerves, they turned that into maybe the launch of a 2020 presidential campaign. of course, oprah winfrey would not be the first celebrity we are talking about in the white house, we have president trump in there right now, who was first a businessman, but then of course a reality tv star and celebrity. and there have been talks about other celebrities possibly running for office. so we asked people, with the pulse of the people, the bigger question. watch do you think about the idea of celebrities running for office? take a listen. >> i think that our current president a

oprah would be a lot of fun. i like oprah. i don't think she is going to run. i don't think she's going to run. i know her very well. >> reporter: his daughter, ivanka, calling winfrey's golden globes speech "empowering and inspiring." >> so, i want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon. >> reporter: the megastar instantly catapulted into the political stratosphere. >> there will be no running for office of any kind for me. >> reporter: that was oprah just a few months ago. today, her best friend, gayle king, says she doesn't think oprah's position has changed. but -- >> i do think she's intrigued by the idea. i do think that. i also know that after years of watching "the oprah show," you always have the right to change your mind. i don't think at this point she is actually considering it. >> reporter: "the oprah show," something president trump knows a lot about. oprah once asking if he would run for president. >> i just don't think i really have the inclination to do it. i love what i'm doing, i really like it. >> also doesn

no, i like oprah. >> who are you going to run with? >> oprah would be great.k we would win easily, actually. >> i don't think we'll see a trump/winfrey ticket, that ship has sailed, but obviously it is premature. but it has captured the imagination of people, especially on the left, who see oprah as you say as this person who can carry a message and perhaps carry a ticket. >> yeah, i think we put in the playbook this morning, jake and i worked back and forth early, could this be a real thing with oprah? think about it, women, name recognition, she could certainly raise the money. she could go to any area all over the country and get huge crowds. and clearly has been involved in democratic politics for a long time. and would clear the field in a way that democrats who have a zillion people in the capitol, is running to be the next president. she could be taking that whole field out. >> you and jake write about, don't count her out, you and jake sherman, the co-authors of to politico, you say, don't rule her out just because it seems like this sort of crazy pie

that's why donald trump fears oprah. oprah is well liked. the crooked hillary comment can't be applied to oprah. jesse: i would say she is a likeable person. but once you step into the realm of politics your like built goes down 0 points and half the country hates you. oprah seems to like to straddle the issue. i don't think she is far left. but she seems mainstream. my concern is i don't know what her policy would be on isis, on north korea, on unfair trade practices in china. does she know enough to be president? >> i don't think the democratic party cares so much what she knows. the democratic party brought us slavery, the kkk and jim crow laws. they are saying it's a black woman. i'm not convinced. trump 2020 for me. jesse: when you nominate a female or minority, it insulates them from a lot of criticism. and the candidate whoever runs against that person has to be careful because if you say anything that could be construed as sexist or racist, they will get pounded. that has to be an advantage for miss winfrey. >> i just saw an election
