i applaud michelle obama with her work on that issue. and, yes, as president of the united states, i am going to lead by example. i have ciliac disease, i'm allergic to gluten. and my fiancee promises to keep up michelle's garden. >> governor johnson is i guess an extreme athlete, you would say. you've completed multiple iron man triathlons, you bicycled 600 miles in 36 hours? >> 485. i had to retract that. back to admitting a mistake. >> i don't think i've ever biked 485 miles in my life. and you summited mount everest as well? yes. >> how many miles did you ride this week? >> this week six hours of that to this point. >> governor weld, i'm not going to ask you about exercise but what do you do to unwind? or maybe you are an extreme -- >> i do go to the gym. a couple of years ago i was unsatisfied with how i felt and i looked down and found i weighed 235 pounds so i went on a portion control diet, just eating a little bit less and i've lost 40 pounds and that makes exercise easier as well. >> take away from athletics. one foot in front of the other that life is every single day w

united states. okay, she's beautiful she gave that speech, the republican national convention. hum some of it came from michelle obama. >> she detailed though how she came to this country and there is speculation, been a lot of reports that perhaps possibly it >> well, i'm going to read from politico now, in a january profile at harpers bizarre trump, melania said she would renew her visa every few months back in 90s when she was a model and never crossed my mind to stay here without papers that is just the person you are. you follow rules you follow the law. every few month use need to fly back to europe and stamp your visa after a few visa i applied for a green card a the story goes on, trump tail of returning to europe for visa renewals is inconsistent with her holding an h1b visa at all times she was living in new york. even if she was lesser known hb visa designed for models all right it gets a little bit complicated. but those pictures came out earlier this week on front page of the new york potion, she said all along that she came here in 1996 apparently those photos where it gets tricky for her if she were he

united states. we talk about hillary clinton and more with john heilemann, katy tur, megan murphy and jonathan karl. >> michelle obama's speech in talking about how important toifts her daughter to have a woman as president, i thought that was one of the most powerful and gavel niegz moments for hillary clinton's campaign. yes it was about a progressive optimistic image in contrast to trump but it was also this is symbolic, a day of reckoning and a choice of ages for where we're going on the pathway. they did a good job. this is a serious moment for our future. >> rose: also this week some of the speeches and the best lines from those speeches. (cheering) >> standing here as my mother's daughter and my daughter's mother, i'm so happy this day has come. i'm happy for grandmothers and little girls and everyone in between. i'm happy for boys and men because, when any barrier falls in america, it clears the way for everyone! >> rose: we conclude with andrew solomon whose book is "far and away: reporting from the brink of change, seven continents, twenty-five years." >> i believe that travel is really a moral imperative and

michelle obama. >> and because of hillary clinton, my daughters, and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the united states the stage for how historic this is. >> i'm glad that you recalled the names of other women, shirley chisholm is a hero and when obama was elected, we thought about shirley. but what's significant about hillary clinton, is also all the women's shoulders she's standing on from history and today. you saw the dnc, there were women from top to bottom, from dawna brazil twirling off the stage, there are women bolstering her. so i think there's a collective women's sense of pride and the celling is now possible, so you can't be what you can't see, to echo what she said, now we know that this is possible. we have seen secretary of states. my daughter has almost only seen women be secretary of state. so that's a new normal. >> how does this change the dynamic? >> i bought these presidential place mats for my little boys, i put the president place mat down, she said mom, there's all grandpas there, there's no grand mas there. he's shocked to see his world, he sees women around him making decisi

three months ago, which was a lie because obama and michelle obama used to work with that guy at a law firm before he became president of the united statesnd when obama became president, khan quit that law firm and started his own law firm because he has been helping theary and obama bring in refugees from syria, and everybody wants to praise this man, but they are not looking at the big picture. they are going to sneak in 12 million, they are putting them in cities, all the rich areas in chicago. that,where did you read of the numbers of refugees and where they will go? caller: i saw the numbers of refugees the democrats were talking about it. they were talking about bringing them in an illinois. they have been bringing them into michigan. host: we heard her point. jarrett in new york, you are opposing, go ahead. that will trump sounds like he is off his rocker. the pundits are legitimately questioning his sanity and i would love to hear what a psychiatrist has to say about this last year. to be pro-donald trump, you have to be pro-republican before you are an american. that is why i am anti-trump, because i am an american first and a r
