they wanted to start their own entity and they may be right the obama coalition is unique to obama. it became part of the democratic party or the republican party. he used to to build the republican party. the big criticism here is it got better in '14 but a little late in the game. they almost viewed the dnc as a toxic place. part of it was they were the non-establishment figure in the primary and assumed all washington institutions were the same. when some staffers that was burned deep in them and part of the motivation. we are not going to play this. all of the members of the dnc are clintonites. they didn't want to take it over and take ownership of it. i know i got off on a tangent but it goes back to '16. i don't think what will be interesting with obama is he views the third term with biden. and i think he would be working -- i think joe biden would be asking for more help, hillary clinton will not ask for more help. he will be as helpful to her as she wants. but i get the sense there would be more of a personal ownership of biden as the nomiee than there will be for hillary.

under obama care. this would ultimately get rid of that. and force congress to live under the same provisions as everybody else who lives under obama care. so this would executive action remove the actions president obama took on as part of this package. and i think there's a lot of great reformers. i've talked to paul ryan, congressman price, i've talked to senator lee and others out there who really are eager to push forward reform. just as it was in my state years ago when there were some republicans who didn't want to challenge the status quo. i think the same thing's true in the congress. this would actually force action early on in our term. so once and for all we could repeal obama care and replace it with something to put patients and families back in charge of their health care decisions. >> not surprising that the chief democratic rival on the other side of the ticket, former secretary of state hillary clinton, is opposed to your plan. she tweets this 16 million americans have gained health i

obama: thank you. hello everybody. [applause] [cheering] pres. obama: thank you everybody sit down, thank you so much. this is a good crowd here. first of all, can everybody please give grace another great round of applause? [applause] pres. obama: not only does she do incredibly inspiring work in nigeria but i have to say following grace is a little bit like following michelle. she is so good, you kind of feel bad when you are walking out because you are thinking i'm not going to be that good. she is just one example of the incredible talent in this room. to all of you, i know you have been here in the united states for a few weeks but let me say on behalf of the american people welcome to the united states and we are thrilled to have you here. [applause] pres. obama: your visit comes at a perfect time. yes, soon it is my birthday but that is not the main reason it's the perfect time. the main reason is because, as many as you know, i returned from africa. it was my fourth trip to sub-saharan africa,

so president obama has a big week. speaking on climate tonight in las vegas then he's off to talk about surviving the next superstorm in new orleans, then he's off to alaska where climate change is already eating towns. and that culmination of this big week in alaska is going to be unavoidably politically awkward for the president because of his own policies affecting that part of the world and the issue he there's to talk about. while president obama was on vacation, his administration gave the final green light for shell oil to start drilling offshore in the arctic for oil. there's never been deep offshore oil drilling in the arctic like shell is doing up there off the coast of alaska right now. because the obama administration says they could, shell has started that process. depending on how you feel about the arctic and how you feel about shell oil and its many talents, it may feel better or worse to you to have shell drilling in the arctic instead of, say, iran. pick your geopolitical and environmental poison. but

all on president obama's watch. here at home, democrats oppose keeping illegal immigrants out of the u.s.a. by building an effective wall. they support american taxpayers funding federal and state entitlements for undocumented folks. even as the national debt approaches $20 trillion. democrats oppose holding foreign nationals who defy deportation and commit violent crimes responsible. that's the kate's law deal. dems even oppose investigating planned parenthood for alleged illegal activities by selling the organs of babies. democrats support leniency for dangerous drug dealers calling them nonviolent. the list of craziness goes on and on. all of those things should make it easy for the republicans to win the presidency in 2016. but you that is not how things are shaking down. donald trump has bludgeoned the g.o.p. establishment by seizing a number of emotional issues that conservatives are furious about. his brand of straight talk blows traditional politicians away making them seem small and dull. but that may be go

obama administration scrambling. fox news chief washington correspondent james rosen with our report. >> reporter: from the people's bank of china came the surprise overnight announcement, the chinese government is lowering guidance rate for currency, the yuan. the largest one day devaluation in two decades and the shockwaves caused contractions at all major european and asian stock markets. japan japan's nikkei and the dow jones plunged 225 points. >> we have pressed china to continue financial reforms and while we want to see additional economic reforms, believe that are needed, but we have seen progress. >> reporter: china's move came after release this weekend of data showing that exports from the world's second largest economy fell by 8.3% in july. these figures affect huge numbers of americans. generally when china devalues currency, it makes chinese exports cheaper to sell abroad and products from foreign countries like america more expensive to purchase over in china. with the u.s. federal reserve poised to i

obama might endorse joe biden if he enters the 2016 presidential race. with hillary clinton struggling in the polls and allegations that she mishandled classified material on her private email server, some democrats believe the party needs another candidate. mr. biden has allowed these activists to build a buzz around his name as a possible alternate. indeed, just last weekend, the vice president returned to washington, d.c. from delaware to meet with liberal democratic senator elizabeth warren of massachusetts. miss warren is seen as a potential biden running mate. question -- if joe biden runs for the presidency, will president obama support his candidacy? i ask you, eleanor. eleanor: i think president obama would love it if joe biden succeeded them. it would be a total vindication of eight years of obamaism transferred into bidenism but i strongly doubt that he will enter the primary race and vocally support either candidate before it becomes clear what's happening. i think joe biden wants to run. the only cure for once you get the presidential bug ap

obama certainly prepared to support hillary for president. if joe were running, he might be a better carrier of that legacy. >> haven't we heard out loud obama throwing his support behind hillary clinton for president? >> we assume if she's the one. >> i think that kind of deafening silence, this is just me now trying to play political analyst. it makes me wonder if whether he too is waiting for a joe biden then he will be torn, who does he best support. >> well, it's an interesting question. to the point of whether obama sort of really, you know, gotten behind hillary, he did do that sort of, you know, really softball interview with her when she was leaving her position as secretary of state. he said things like i know she would make a great candidate. you're right in that the endorsement hasn't been full-throated. a month or two months is a lifetime in politics. look at what she's facing right now. an fbi investigation, tremendous trust gap in her poll numbers. a gap in really the number of people who think that she cares about people like

president obama today outdid himself. ramping up his rhetoric to insulting offensive levels by equating republicans to iranian extremists who chant death to america. president obama talking at american university, campaigning for his iranian nuclear deal and there he urged voters to contact their representatives in government and pressure them to accept the deal. we'll take all of that up with house foreign affairs committee member congressman ted yoho who says the president's iranian deal is a bad deal for america and for the world. also here tonight, the hillary clinton e-mail scandal, it's deepening. it took long enough but at long last, the fbi has begun investigating the security of mrs. clinton's private e-mail server and its purported classified contents. the fbi investigation comes only days after government watchdogs for the state department and intelligence community ask the justice department to explore whether classified material was improperly shared and/or stored on clinton's private account? we'll have the

has to know how to hold back --. >> president obama is going to do nothing. the chinese economy is deflating right now, going through in effect what we went through in 2008 and 2009. it's in the stock market, affecting real estate, banking. leaders over there are frantically trying to do everything they can to stabilize things and they're struggling. there is not really a role for the u.s. right now. >> the u.s. could, i mean, look. if they devalued 2% or 4% all they got to do is put a 2% or 4% tariff on their goods, take away the benefit of that. but we won't do that because that would be the beginning of economic nationalism where we start looking out for america rather than china. but i do agree with both of you. i think china is in very grave condition. crushing descent, corruption all shot through that place. the communist party, its basic legitimacy rests on the old world revolution. it doesn't exist. if they fail at what they're doing, what is the argument for maintaining the communist party's monopoly of power? that is what xi jinping is at bottom wor

so, if obama tilted, podesta could hurt obama. he knows a lot of stuff about him. i didn't think he would be getting in but as the professor just said it's pretty clear that barack obama is sending out little signals he would rather see biden than hillary. do you read it that way? >> no. and i don't agree with a lot of your premise about john podesta. i also don't believe that the president will endorse. there is really nothing in it for him. i think that the president does like hillary and i think the president is. >> why would josh earnst who really says anything in a declarative sentence, why would he say that? >> that wasn't very declarative, bill. he said he doesn't rule it out. by the way, biden may not be in the race. if it's hillary against bernie sanders, is he probably going to endorse hillary. if it's hillary against biden, i don't think obama is going to make an endorsement. >> let's not forget, ernst also came out yesterday and said the best thing barack obama ever did politically was to nominate joe biden as vice president. >> they there is all kinds

obama is hitler. that's out of bounds and ridiculous over the top. the important thing to remember is that huckabee's fund-raising numbers are not good. he's hurting for cash. >> isn't the place of journalist to turn to him to say why don't you apologize? >> i think it's fair given that so many other people are calling on him to apologize. major national jewish organizations and rnc and major republicans distancing themselves from comments. that's an open question without a doubt. >> let me turn to joe biden. spade of reports including the lead story in today's "the new york times" saying the 72-year-old vice president actively exploring a campaign although there's no sort of hard evidence that he's going to launch one. do you think that all of these sources being quoted by the press is fueling a lot of speculation? >> it was kicked off over the weekend by writing a detailed column about what was going on in joe biden's head. assume she didn't invent that. somebody probably leaked to her play by play

these days i imagine president obama is feeling that the country is on the right path. the economy has recovered nicely, unemployment is below 6%, stock markets remain much higher than when he took over, and foreign policy, he can point to a deal with world's major powers and now iran and restoring diplomatic relations with cuba after five decades. in one area america has witnessed a series of flare-ups that remind us of an enduring problem that simply refuses to go away. [ chanting ] >> america's racial divide. in thinking about it, i found myself intrigued by some lessons from an unlikely source, singapore. to help prepare for a trip there last month as a guest of the national university of singapore, i asked the country's deputy prime minister what he regarded as the country's biggest success. i imagined that he would talk about economics since the city-state's per capita gdp outstrips of that america, japan or hong kong. he spoke, instead, about social harmony. we were a nation that was not meant to be, he said. the swamp ridden island expelled from malaysia in 1965

thenni you have with president obama yesterday. we give the sense that president obama gave blessing in away. i mean, the moment i saw -- i thought he was going to run. i do think he wants to run. he's run before. i think he will run and it shows how much, you know, no, hillary clinton, that's not thnte case anymore. it's a real race. the question is if biden gets in, wait six weeks or october. the first democratic debate is october 13, so he'll get in before that. it makes me wonder whether he will get in sooner, labor day. biden has been there for decades obviously at that parade. he has lots of support. it will be dramatic white-working class guy, nice contrast to hillary, i think. butin he hasn't done that well when he has run for president. if he does well or pretty well, at that point, early october with clinton saunders and biden each 30% in the polls. at that point i think elizabeth has to look in the mirror and say, really, shouldn't i run. democratic party wants hillary clinton with all her baggage, bernie saunders is 73

they vote for a leader. >> barack obama is a lake duck. chum schumer is probably going to be the next minority leader. do you think any senators want to be on his bad side in 2016? if they are, he'll cast them in a hole. >> he did that in the speech equating them with the revolutionary guard corps. that is before senator schumer came out against the deal. what's the strategy behind that? >> this is what he does. he's incapable of believing that people disagree >> is it snart many. >> in this case it is silly because chuck schumer isk a whoe lot smarter than the white house. this i is why chuck schumer -- came out saying he was going to oppose the deal but calling automatic of his colleagues sayingng iemg not going to whip against it. as a result he has the senators coming out saying we respect senator schumer for having his own mind. he shined everybody up and also going on the record saying he's opposed to the deal and that's thero way he's getting through e tough spot. israeli political action committee has gone a big way against this an

obama says climate change is a threat to the health and security of america. president obama: this is one of those rare issues, because of its magnitude, because of its scope, that if we don't get it right, we may not be able to reverse. and we may not be able to adapt sufficiently. there is such a thing as being too late when it comes to climate change. [applause] laura: let's head over to washington. our correspondent is there. obama was very vocal on climate change in 2008 and seemed required on the issue since then. why this tough approach right now? guest: all sorts of reasons. he's in his last one year and a half of his presidency, meaning this is a white house that is increasingly thinking about the barack obama legacy and something had to be done in his view in terms of climate change. that is why this is happening now. also this is a president who has been on a roll recently who has a lot of the things he wanted done very much done over the last few months and he thinks he can get these carbon emissions through without too much of a problem by the end

obama's son son if he had a son. what do you make of president obama's handling of some rather explosive moments under his watch? >> first term, the first time was kind of rough because many americans were looking at him and he even wanted to make people believe what was going to happen as he was running for office the first time. he could never reach that level of expectation that he set himself. people were looking for a savior. particularly americans who were hurting because of the recession, they were looking for change. you understand it's back man and it's different for him. give them a chance this is his first time as president. given the chance. the first time it was the everyone issue. >> and the second news conference -- >> right there were letters for each letter. second term, we have now seen an african-american president who happens to be african-american. the first time it was the president who happened to be african american. the reason why i say that is because he is open on how he regards racial issu

we obama-aiken. the obama-aiken economy, which has been struggling dough to stag informant wages, loss of manufacturing base and being a little pitchy, doll. a little pitchy. of course not all democrats are running from obama due to his unpopular policy. democratic senate candidate from kentucky alison lundergan grimes is running. >> why do you not want to give an answer whether you're voting for president obama. >> there's no ruluctancy. this is a matter of principle. our constitution grants here in kentucky the constitutional rights for privacy at the ballot box. >> jon: my country tis of thee. no, you cannot see. [laughter] >> i would be voting as a right to privacy issue. that's why they give you those stickers. [laughter] grimes principle's stand is only undermined by her announcing lastvoted for health rea clinto. but that's different, health rea clinton is popular. look democrats aren't the only ones running from their party. republicans are retreating on the culture wars. the fact is i suppor

voice and barack obama's activists after his presidency. i haven't scene this scapego scapegoating of immigrants. it's very sad and the first african american president as an ex president can really, i think, play a very important role in getting this country back on track again and helping us to understand what this country is all about and it's not scapegoating people. >> now, the times also reported about the president's visibility once his term is up. one told "the times" mr. obama respected mr. bush's decision to limit time but also admired mr. clinton's aggressive use of the spotlight to press his agenda. quote, my sense is he is probably a blend of the two. in terms of style, what kind of former president do you think president obama will be as former president. >> i think he'll be much more activist than george w. bush. the issues are too important, not just race relations and bringing up young people belet's not forget the challenge of climate change, perhaps humanity's greatest challenge in many, many centuries. obama has been a v

under obama care. this would ultimately get rid of that. and force congress to live under the same provisions as everybody else who lives under obama care. so this would executive action remove the actions president obama took on as part of this package. and i think there's a lot of great reformers. i've talked to paul ryan, congressman price, i've talked to senator lee and others out there who really are eager to push forward reform. just as it was in my state years ago when there were some republicans who didn't want to challenge the status quo. i think the same thing's true in the congress. this would actually force action early on in our term. so once and for all we could repeal obama care and replace it with something to put patients and families back in charge of their health care decisions. >> not surprising that the chief democratic rival on the other side of the ticket, former secretary of state hillary clinton, is opposed to your plan. she tweets this 16 million americans have gained health i

a former special adviser to president obama put it, the only way in which the obama administration can stick with the strategy is by assuming that the iranians will carry most of the weight and win battles on the ground. , not asthese examples evidence of an american retreat but as an example to the purpose of journalism. people have often asked me when i talk about political reporting if i think the press is biased. press has a bias towards conflict in trouble. we focus on what needs fixing. that is our imperative, to expose problems. this year you read in the new york times about the exploitation of massillon of nailin new york -- salon workers in new york. coverage andeas foreign policy coverage is much the same. we write about the big successes . we ran a headline and multiple stories the day the iran deal was announced. , we focused on the resistance the deal is meeting in congress and how obama is fighting hard to win democrats. , everyrt kagan said tolure of the united states get its way in the world tends to reinforce the impression of a nation in decline. , china hackse rise i

seems that obama is getting involved in some way. thoughts? >> yeah. where is the white house on this? is the white house the link behind the hillary clinton email scandal? are they the source of it? but it also shows, really, the desperation of the democratic party and the shallowness of the democratic bench. oe biden has been hid away for many, many years. now he's being trotted out somehow as a savior of the democratic party to save them from hillary clinton and bernie sanders. is that the top three? >> wow! >> that's in the democratic party? >> you could add al gore. >> maybe. 16 or 17 strong candidates with tremendous accomplishments on the republican side. i am a democrat. you say what's going on here. >> stephen, when josh earnest says today as he did, the president's best decision that he ever made is selecting joe biden and that ought to show the confidence that he has in his ability to do the top job. if i'm hillary, i'm reading that, obama is out to get me. >> you know, it's something the president has said before repeated repeatedly. someth

here's part of what obama had to say. president obama: we're the first generation to feel climate chat and the last generation to do something about it. and that's why i committed the united states to leading the world on this challenge. that if we don't get it right we may not be able to reverse. and we may not be able to adapt sufficiently. there is such a thing as being too late when it comes to climate change. and today we're here to announce america's clean power plant, a plan two years in the maker and the single most important step america has ever taken in the fight against global climate change. each state will have the chance to put together its own plan for reducing emissions. because every state has a different energy mix and the nerdier way to say that we'll be keeping 870 million tons of carbon dioxide pollution out of our atmosphere. >> that was u.s. president barack obama. let's go over to washington. it's no accident that president obama is pushing this clean energy plan right now. could you say that the

amy: that is president obama. can you talk about what is happening in the arctic, and the activists -- activism going on from portland, oregon, to the arctic, to prevent what president obama has allowed -- drilling in the arctic? naomi: it is extraordinary that he would announce this now because what the world needs to starters, is to declare a moratorium on arctic drilling. the u.s. could be meeting that effort, bringing together all arctic nations to agree that this is untouchable -- a no-go zone. because that leadership is not there and indeed because obama is opening up the arctic to drilling for the first time -- we know that shell has drilling rigs there right now. they began the parliamentary stages on thursday. because his administration has failed to provide leadership on such a basic issue. it is the definition of insanity, it would seem to me, to be drilling in the arctic for oil that is only available because arctic ice is melting and it is now passing and ships are able to go there and do this. , a fe

. >> president obama, as barry obama, a student, at college, when mandela died, his first political action was a divestment rally against south africa in 1981, i think. at the college. he has a deep connection to mandela to the movement. going to south africa was a big moment for him. he's beloved. you saw him. you see children named after him. one young baby named air force one, president obama, in kenya. he's a beloved figure around the world. and as the son of an african. he has been taken in as one of their own. >> are we unfair highlighting the intangibles, when pound for pound, dollar for dollar he's done more. i don't think it's fair to beat up on bush nor to diminish what obama is doing, nor the fact that these are giant problems, we can do some thinks, few, really, to deal with some of these problems. most will be resolved to their own leadership. i think they are the most important things, and both served this, is to be an example. and to show how you could, in a sense would be effective in those countries and calledures. >> there's many expectations president. >> and the son of

obama administration officials are divided over what to do with his case. his lawyer spoke to us about his client's grave condition. >> by the unanimous determination of six national security agencies, i'm talking the office of the joint chiefs of staff, director of national intelligence, department of defense, justice, home land security, all the agencies that u.s. citizens rely on have said he can leave guantanamo. >> why has he not been allowed to leave? >> what's remarkable is that that question is playing out right now in realtime in washington, d.c. i filed a motion for his release because he's so gravely ill, and asked the government not to oppose it, to speed his release so he can get to medical clear. it appears that the department of defense dug in its heels and is defiantly blocking a common sense solution. it's shocking. >> the justice department has until august 15 to respond to the prisoner's petition and on the other side of the i'll, stay tuned for special custom out of a cuba as the u.s. flag begins to fly over the embassy in havana. we hav

it is a big step to make, but president obama feels it's time to make it. laura: i spoke with regina mccarthy joining us from the white house. gina mccarthy, if the -- did the president wait this long to make on climate change because he wanted to work on the treaty with iran before curbing emissions later this year? gina: actually, he has been working on it from day one. he tried first the legislature but it wasn't there. he is taking this step to protect our kids and planet. laura: are you hopeful that americans will follow his lead and agree to this deal? gina: i think now we are convinced the world will listen. there is an opportunity to actually address climate change and will prove this in the u.s. by take me -- i taking domestic action that we can do it in a way to keep the lights on, be consistent, and grow jobs and the economy and do it in a way that protects our kids future. not just from climate, but pollutants like soot and smog. laura: as you know, there are states in the u.s. that are opposed and heading to the courts. are you worried that the
