rahm emanuel is now mayor of chicago. bill daley and rahm emanuel were the chief lobbyists for passing nafta under clinton. they're the ones who rounded up the votes. they're the ones who made the deals with the recalcitrant democrats and republicans who didn't want to vote for it. these people are in the saddle. they succeeded each other as -- >> they're democrats, too. >> democrats. but daley succeeded rahm emanuel as obama's chief of staff. these are the people obama talks to all the time, and they're saying, free trade great. we don't know about factories closing, but it's a great way to raise money. >> senator mitch mcconnell, who will soon be the senate majority leader, said that new trade agreements are one of his top priorities. are we about to see some bipartisan cooperation between the republicans in the senate and obama in the white house on passing this new trade agreement? >> absolutely. they've already announced that they're going to try to work together. and if history is repeated, you will see fast track p

, rahm emanuel was arguing he was the man argued for health insurance reform. to this as a small slice at a time to this is too big with the economy where it is. chuck schumer has made it very public how he feels about this very recently being number three in the u.s. senate. but if you look at the history of the modern presidential right now, and i say modern, go back the last 50 years most of the accomplishments, the big accomplishments and their own agenda happen in the first two years and the rest of the six our managing events in some form or another our managing their own problem. if you look at it from a historical perspective, they were right to do whatever it took. i think the lesson a new president is going to have come at a think could be the wrong lesson short term because i think, is if you look at obama's success in getting health care by pillar ii to immigration to go to cap-and-trade, failure to do some of these other things, then they're going to look back and say, i should have done thrown more at the system the first two years to you only get

chicago mayor rahm emanuel told the crowd that banks was a humble hero who taught younger generations how to play the game of life. 83-year-old banks died more than a week ago of a heart attack. a handful of protesters turned out for bill cosby's appearance in sandusky, ohio last night. police had extra officers on the scene. there were no incidents. at least 15 women have claimed cosby sexually assaulted them with some of those claims dating back decades. cosby has denied the allegations and has not been charged with any crime. the measles outbreak that originated in california in a theme park there has spread to more than a dozen states. as we reported last night, a d.c. public health official says a case of measles was documented in the district this month. as abc reports, warnings extend from the big apple to sunday's super bowl. >> from coast to coast, a growing danger is spreading -- the measles. the latest warning in new york, an infected college student boarded an amtrak train at penn station north america's busiest transportation hub. >> if you were on the train and were not

thought he was going to do and what it became in the first six months, two different things and as rahm emanuel will argue, saying you know this was thrust upon him. this was no time to change washington. they had to say the american economy. that's all well and good but the promise of barack obama. that is something some people say that i harp on it too much but that to me was the hope and change. so on that score he has failed and hasn't lived up to. as a commander in chief and someone who implemented the economic recovery over time it is great to look better and better for him. healthcare does it ever get fully implemented? that is the one open question. i think alternate for his legacy is going to get judged on health care more than anything else because it consumed the presidency. >>> now joining us on booktv from johns hopkins university is benjamin ginsberg a professor of political science here. his book is called of the worth of your. we'll show you the we will show you the cover in just a minute. what you write that the unpleasant fact is that although the war is terrible and brutal we

and jeb up against mitt, and people out of the ring, like rahm emanuel. >> so is your party still just little bit in disarray even though -- you can't be democrats, it is republicans? >> it's not even really disarray. people have not jumped in even said i have a campaign and i'm running. this is still the early stages of setting up and positioning that natural part. you have a lot of folks, you have 25 or 30 people personally. that will whittle down. i can't help that the democrats don't have a bench. we have a very good bench, and the reality at the end of the day, they have hillary, that is about it, and we have a whole array of folks -- >> who do you think can beat her? >> pretty much all of them. >> you're such a chairman of the party. hillary clinton, another tricky thing like israel, does he run as a woman or is that implicit. >> obama ran as a son of immigrants, he was very careful, everyone thought they had a piece of him. >> i think if you look at this poll, we see that democrats and the country is ready for a woman candidate -- >> per se. >> well, yes. it is 2015, it is time.

. >> rahm emanuel. he personally called me and asked if whole foods would come. that is how involved he is. he has done policy things with farmers markets, urban gardens newsstands, all of this is happening under his watch. a number of groceries to the south side. the north side, a lot of choices. the south side, no choices. and i will tell you, one of the community meetings, i'm sitting there with a number of the community members, and one of them says, walter, around the table. we want some of the choices other communities have. he looks at me and says, walter lift us up. left us up. again, i'm a grocery. here's the thing. you're talking about human potential. human spirit. so, book. we are just part of something -- 6500 areas in the united states needs some kind of additional access. they need fresh thinking. communities have to shift. they will say you guys are trouble. you are not going to do this right. sign a benefits agreement. we don't trust you. that is what i realized in detroit. i looked across the table. there was no trust. without trust, there is no

and as rahm emanuel will argue saying hey, you know, this was thrust upon him, this was no time to change washington, we had to save the american economy. that's all well and good, but the great promise of barack obama was that. so that is something that i have, you know some people say i harp on it too much. but that to me, is sort of -- that was the hope and change. that was the turn the page. that was the whole idea. so on that score i think he has failed. and when i say he's not lived up to his great promise, as a president, as a commander in chief, as somebody who implemented, you know, the economic recovery which i think over time is going to look better and better for him, health care is a total, you know, does he ever -- does it ever get fully implemented, you know? that's something i think we, that's still an open question. i think, ultimately his legacy's going to get judged on health care more than anything else because it con assumed the presidency -- consumed the presidency. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> coming up next on booktv ilya shapir

mayor rahm emanuel of chicago has stepped forward to say he'll help facilitate individuals with the federal government, other mayors say me too and good for them. we can all help by playing a role in implementing the immigration executive actions taken by the president that will help millions of people. congress refuses to pass laws that channel people into legal immigration with visas and congress refuses to address millions of people who have lived and worked here for a decade or more and they refuse to address any system like everify or in borders or ports of ntry because they'd rather play politics but at the white house and our side of the aisle we are taking steps to address the anxieties of the talk radio audience and not just inflamed their frustration with the current mess. remember not doing anything the republican strategy, that's amnesty. we're going to make sure that millions of american citizens can live with their family members and that we not place americans citizens in foster care by the thousands because we're deporting their parents. we're going to make sure that more of

i might add that a democratic mayor rahm ee manual of -- emanuel of chicago has a similar program, but the president went to tennessee to acknowledge that the republican legislature and the republican governor had come up with a good idea. so to argue that somehow this is a partisan idea, it sure isn't if it's tennessee. and the president understands that in the 20th century maybe k-12 was just enough to make it. in the 21st century it's not enough. k-14 most of us understand, is the ticket to a good-paying job. now, i called in to some of the media this morning from illinois and they said oh, this community college free tuition idea, another federal mandate. well let me disabuse you of this idea. this is voluntary. it's optional. states decide if they want to be part of it. but i think those states that want to be part of free community college tuition for good achieving, hardworking students are on the right track and those who ignore it may fall behind. the jobs of this century will require more training and education than ever. i think this notion is a good one. have we ever gone w
