in which saudi arabia was armed by the obama administration so i think if we are serious about being human rights activists who are serious about being progressive in our politics we need to use the same standard to measure any administration and any political party can't play favorites i think we have to hold the democratic party and democratic elected officials to the same standard as republican party members and officials there's a lot to talk about with regard to donald trump but it's also important to point out that he simply continuing if not in some cases expanding practices and programs and policies of the obama administration just as obama continued practices and policies of the bush administration before him and you describe this. political cautiousness as a centrally begging for crumbs what you mean by that well i think that. it is becoming commonplace that it's brock obama was the first president who actively advocated on behalf of the l g b t community. that may be true but it's not saying much given that every other president has been hostile what will come back with th

obama care still in your state. if we don't find a replacement everything is going to collapsea for those on the staff is spent hours and hours of listening to us change your mind, do it one way or do it another, thank you. i've been in politics now with lot of fun i don't think i would've done anything more important than this. it's been fun, frustrating, but i do believe this is our last chance to get healthcare on a sustainable footing.can i believe will reduce quality of exploding cost and it doesn't have to be the choice. to my republican friends, they know what they're there for. we know what were for? they are committed to their causes are we equally committed to horse? i hope is that the answer is yes. if we get 50 of us here i make a prediction, few of them over there working to sign on because the state does so well. there's some democratic senators for my dear friends that will have to turn down more money more power from the state to keep the status quo. i can tell you this about bipartisanship, i'm a bi

isiously your guest pro-obama and anti-trump. you mentioned earlier that you tried to build a relationship between police and the public to make everything copacetic. , people areou raised to hate police, regardless of what kind of equipment they use. when you say you are trying to build a relationship, it is fake. with own work ideal different cultures and different races, you see that things are learned. regardless of how much you try to build a relationship, it is predetermined by it is taught at the home to hate the police. i've seen it. there is ay enough, tiny seed of truth in what he was saying. you teach people how to treat you. when police officers go through communities and treat the members of those communities as if they are enemy combatants, then the members of the community are going to respond and treat police officers as if they are there enemy. --their enemy. that is the reason that police having military equipment undermines trust and creates feelings between police officers and those they serve. it is not somet

a conversation now, on security threats during the obama presidency. and, what is ahead for the trump administration. , whoar from lisa monaco served as president obama's counterterrorism and homeland security advisor. >> good evening, everyone. welcome to our 2017 terry sanford distinguished lecture with lisa monaco, to discuss counterterrorism in the trump era. i am pleased to kick off the year-long celebration of terry sanford's centennial birthday. i would like to welcome any first-year students. it is wonderful that you are here taking advantage of the program, tonight. learning from visiting scholars is a valuable part of your duke experience. this is sponsored by the sanford school of public policy, and the american grand strategy program. take you to the faculty and staff and made this possible. the terry sanford distinguished lecture is made made possible by a gift from the william r kenan trust. terry sanford is a much beloved figure at duke university. he dedicated his life to ethical leadership and public. from 1961 toserved 1965 as the gov

not to just repeal obama care but replace it with the system. closer to where you live and controlled by people you can vote for. were going to get there. to my republican colleagues, we will fulfill our promise. to repeal and replace. to the american people we are going to repair healthcare for you cassettes only thing that matters. >> to be clear, with events under control and not under our control we don't have the votes. speaking to your leadership and president i think we are we made the decision that will postpone that am i disappointed, absolutely, just today there is e health.com report that the average family of three making $80000 a year, will be paying $29000 per year for their policy which means officially they cannot afford. that is not just a few families, is the average family of three making $82000 a year. when folks thought it was an affordability nobody can afford it. i'm disappointed for state legislators. we heard yesterday pennsylvania has a gap. news reports that michigan will and louisiana. we'll give the release, will not

obama care. >> tremendous at work from republicans. >> and once again there may be just enough republican opposition to kill the effort. >> i obviously have very serious reservations about the bill. >> are you ready to support it? >> nope. >> my guest this morning is senator rand paul of kentucky who says he is a no for now, and mark short. and can chuck and nancy do business with president trump, or were their immigration talks a one-time only deal. i'll ask nancy pelosi if she trusts the president. joining me is rich lowry high pressure eliana johnson, stephen henderson, and former obama deputy campaign manager stephanie cutter. welcome to sunday, it's "meet the press." >>> the longest running show in television history celebrating it's 70th year. >>> good sunday morning. there are two big stories we're watching this morning, but first is president trump's attack on nfl players that refuse to stand for the national anthem. it began friday night with a speech saying he wishes an nfl owner would

as you've mentioned president trump said nothing different than obama when obama said he would destroy north korea or when bill clinton said there would be overwhelming retaliation and put an end to the country itself. he said absolutely nothing. he stated the obvious and it was very much pro-america and traditional in a sense but we have the media who are always going to criticize this president no matter what he says or does. >> maria: msnbc stephanie ruehl questions president trump 's speech and whether the trump voter understands the nuances of what the u.n. does. roll tape. >> would you categorize this speech i guess as unsophisticated so that there are lots of americans to the point that don't necessarily like the u.n. they might not understand the nuances and all that the u.n. does on a coordinate coordinated effort to protect us so on the face, could people view this as a strong speech not having an understanding of all of these disconnects required for the president to be impactful? >> liz: is the trump voter unsophisticated and doesn't understand the nuances of what the u.n.

the piece openly speculates that high-ranking officials inside the obama white house and president obama himself may have been briefed on the fisa surveillance. unbelievably in march of this year, formal obama director of national intelligence james clapper said there was no fisa warrant. you may remember this. >> the part of the national security apparatus that i oversaw as dni, there is no such wiretapped activity mounted against the president-elect at the time as a candidate or against his campaign. >> anything at trump tower? >> no. >> sean: was that he suspected of lying to congress? paul manafort was wiretapped at trump tower. guess what? clapper is no singing of very different tune admitting that communications from trump himself -- then a candidate and of course the president-elect -- may have been captured by the surveillance. watch what he said last night. >> was a possible the president was picked up in a conversation with paul manafort? >> it's certainly conceivable. >> sean: we will have more, jay sekulow and sharyl attkisson -- she was spied on also. but first, the american

obama: that is what is needed today. the engagement of everyone who wants to see a better future for our children. it can be frustrating. i will take an example, in the united states in the past eight years, thousands of americans threw themselves into the collective effort of reforming our health care system. those of you who live in countries that already have universal health care are trying to figure out what is the controversy here. [applause] i am to. the folks who did the work, it wasn't just policy wonks. it was moms and dads, people who had crushing medical bills. maybe apparent who has lost, who had it checkup might of been found earlier. those voices from every walk of life made a difference. for the first time 90% of americans know the security of had it checkup might of been health insurance. paying more for insurance, or being denied insurance because of pre-existing conditions, or because you are a woman, that is not a thing anymore. we got rid of that. people are alive today because of it, and that is pro

>> my reporting did not show that michelle obama is -- obama already spoke to the carlyle group. few was just in the last days. maybe these three speeches on wall street will just be a drop in the bucket and he will be giving a lot of other speeches to firms that have nothing to do with private would he. which is foundation getting off the ground now and is responsible for raising money for the presidential center in chicago. who's on the board is veterans of hedge funds, venture capital. i think it's worth understanding obama's ties to the financial sector. trump isknows the inextricably tied to wall street. obama has his own connections. is worth looking at. some important questions to be asking. also sign up for the balance of power newsletter. get the latest on global politics in your inbox every day. julia: coming up, david gura will sit down with eu competition commissioner at 5:00 p.m. eastern. you can catch all our interviews on the bloomberg with the function tv . you can find all of the breaking news charts related functions discussed on the programs. you can see it

she served the entire second term of the obama presidency. she is currently a senior fellow at the nyu law school for international affairs. you may or may not know that terry sanford was an fbi agent for two years. he fought in the battle of the bulge in world war ii, and obtained a law degree from unc. i think he would have been fascinated by lisa's career, and proud to have her speaking at the sanford school. our moderator for tonight's event is the sanford school's own david. he is now an associate professor of public policy and director of our triangle center on terrorism and homeland security. before we begin, it would be great if everyone would silence their cell phones. please join me in welcoming lisa to samford for this very interesting topic.

obama care. taking it from democrat states and giving it to republican states. it sets up a food fight over the father or mother formula. this is a bad idea, not repealed, however all of that focus to what we all agree on, giving governors more freedom, slowing down the rate of growth of a outrageous entitlement spending, sure, i would be for that, but just not for this block granding concept because it is affirmative that i have agreed to keep obama care. >> if you can't accept the block grant concept, then you will never accept it. >> they could remove it and then we could vote on what we all agree on. >> wasn't that skinny repeal? >> i think there is more in this bill than skin any ny repeal, b started my political career campaigning against obama care. i said at rally after rally that we would repeal it, all of the spending, once we do, the republican name will be on income, and this we'll have republicans absorb the blame for a terrible health care system. >> so if block grant is in there, y

president obama, i played his own words. he didn't believe constitutionally he had the authority to usurp the power of congress but he did it anyway. what president trump is doing is well comey at eight months, congress. i'm going to give you six more months and if you want -- we can't usurp the constitution. >> who's going to take care of them? they are already here. they came here when they were very young. 800,000 of them. >> jorge, your beef is with congress. >> someone has to take care of them. it's our responsibility to do that. what president trump did -- >> sean: what i read you earlier bus from obama. what i read you at beginning of this segment -- obama said you can apply to stay temporarily. now president trump, rightly so, is following coequal branches of government. he sang the congress, do your job. i'm giving you more time. >> he's not protecting the dreamers. they are americans, as trump's children. exactly the same. the only difference is they don't have a paper -- >> sean: jorge, you cannot ask that the uni

read and barack obama barack obama. barack obama wanted to run on the issue in 2009. >> juan: i don't believe that. who pulled it back? president bush, it was right wing talk radio that built a wall. what? >> kennedy: right wing talk radio is not constitutionally bound. if we saw that it did not go through under president bush, i understand, it's interestingly always a bipartisan effort. when it makes its way through -- it was so critically important. if you needed these voters so badly to bolster the democratic party, if these people were an absolute get me to make sure that democrats had the presidency from president obama, why wasn't that at the top of your agenda? why did you give americans horrible, horrible health care plans? >> dana: and his meeting with obama in that transition period, he did immigration before health care. it was obviously important to president bush. >> juan: dealing with the economic crisis. you don't get health care reform until like, 2010. initially, we are dealing with all the economic iss

president obama mean when he said "y"? what better way to find that out than to go and talk to the president. and so, that meant journalists knew they could count on me conveying to them reliable information about what the president actually thought. this administration, it's not clear that president trump has invested in his surrogates in a way that would let them walk in the door. and it's also -- it's also not clear that he wouldn't change his mind as soon as they walked out the door. so i'm not really sure it would do them that much good to go in there in the first place. >> seth: right. or that the opinion of what they said would change or be received negatively and he would throw them under the bus. which seems like it happens a great deal. >> look, i mean, one of the things to -- and this is particularly true with a -- with mr. spicer. but he looked like he was in a constant state of fear of being fired. >> seth: yeah. >> because he knew the other guy was watching the television, and he was performing for that one p

she served in the white house for the entire second term of the obama presidency. currently, she's a senior fellow at the nyu law school and harvard's belfort center for science and international affairs. so you all may or may not know that terry sanford was an fbi agent for two years. he fought in the ballottle of t bulge in world war ii. i think he would have been fascinated by lisa's career and proud to have her speaking at the sanford school. our moderator for tonight's event is the sanford school's own david sanzer, associate professor of public policy and director of our triangle center on terrorism and homeland security. so before we begin, it would be great if everyone would silence their cell phones. and please join me in welcoming lisa to sanford for this very interesting topic. >> lisa monaco, there is not an inch of space left in this building. i don't know, do you have a secret social media following at duke, perhaps? >> not a secret any more, i guess. >> it's fantastic. and let me echo the provost. welcome to duke. we're so happy to have you. >> thank

the first draft was probably president obama saying, dear donald, don't get up, signed obama. what do you think, michelle, tone it down? just a little? all right. ( laughter ) what's not been reported is the second part of the letter that didn't leak to the press, page #. and i'm not going to show it to you. ( laughter ) ( applause ) but let's move on to the big news of the day. it has to do with a group of people called dreamers. i'm not talking about people who came back from bernie, man. dreamers refers to a group of nearly 800,000 young people whose immigrant parents illegally brought them to the u.s. while they were children. for the longest time they feared being deported to countries whose candy they don't even recognize. in 2012 president obama decided the children deserved a chance to work legally in the u.s. and contribute to america's economy and society without fear of deportation. today, president trump undecided that. >> close to 1 million people in limbo, president trump ordered the rescinding of daca. >> but left it to attorney general jeff sessions to break th

eight million more after obama. nine million americans out of the labor force, now down to 94 million but under obama the lowest participation rate since the 1970's, under obama the worst economic recovery since the 1940's, the lowest home ownership rate in 51 years and obama doubled the national debt and i can go on all night. these are facts. the media never told you, the entire election season about these things and now that president trump is in office the media is changing their tactics. they refuse to report on this president's accomplishments because it will make them look good? members of the lazy press aren't interested in doing their jobs. i'll do it for them. we'll go through the whole list tonight. that the media will not tell you about the president's accomplishments. this is not even a full list. to emphasize all of these we'll bring the ding back. he nominated, the president confirmed realistic neil gorsuch for the supreme court, the stock market at an all time high.

[applause] >> i hate to interrupt that. that was going really nicely. and may i say how great it is to be here tonight. mr. feinberg introduced my wife kim and she will be out here in a second. she will be out shortly, but we are starting without her. owen youning young -- g from the boston symphony, himself a pillar of that institution. and may i say what a delight it a greathonor, and relief to be in the presence of the obamas again. [applause] taylor: in my mind there's a connection between the jfk andration and -- of .hat of barack ob

once senator obama became president president obama he discovered how quickly diplomacy could be. at first attempt in 2009, end end up failing. mainly because of problems on the iranian side. obama quickly ended up in a situation in which he was stuck with very same strouds that bush -- president bush had. sanctions, sabotage, pressure, and cyber warfare. precisely because heed a tried diplomacy, though, and precisely because he enjoyed international lidge si in a way that lush did not, obama succeeded where bush could not. he imposed the most striking, hard-hit sanctions that any country has been under yet. even the iranian central bank was put under sanctions which essentially closed iran's access to the international financial system. the united states succeeded in convincing europe to cut all oil imports from iran. iran exported roughly 40% of the oil to the european union at the time. the day congress passed sanctions imposing sanctions on iran central bank, iran's currency dropped roughly 30%. riots broke out in tehran. iran's gdp slunk shrunk. for how long could it be able

administration just as obama can. when you'd practices and policies of the bush administration before him and you describe this political cautiousness as a centrally begging for crumbs what you mean by that well i think that. it is becoming commonplace that it's brock obama was the first president who actively advocated on behalf of the l g b t community. that may be true but it's not saying much given that every other president has been hostile it will come back with that when we come back we'll hear more from hauling our co-founder of the new york association for gender rights advocacy. called the feeling. every the world should experience. and you'll get it on the the role of. the world according to a gesture. welcome our moral come on i'm sure there are. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that are critics can't tell and you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the t

under obama, the worst economic recovery since '40s. obama doubled the national debt. i can go on all night. and now these are facts. the media never told you the entire election season about these things. now the that president trump is in office, now, the media is changing their tactics. they just refuse to report on this president's accomplishments because, what, it will make him look good? since members of the lazy press, they aren't interested in doing their job, i guess i will do that for them. here is everything. i will go through the whole list tonight, that the media will not tell you about the president's accomplishments. by the way, this is not even a full list. to emphasize, all of these, we'll go back and bring our ding sound back to get the tone-deaf media's attention. let's go through them. he nominated the senate confirmed, the original process, neil course of for the supreme court. [ding] the stock market is an all-time high. a [ding] under president trump, more than 1 million jobs have been created for people who need them. [ding] mortgage application

president obama released a letter reacting to president trump's decision to rescind daca. he says in part, immigration can be a controversial topic. we all want safe, secure borders and a dynamic economy and people of goodwill can have legitimate disagreements about how to fix our immigration system. so that everybody plays by the rules. but that's not what the action that the white house took today is about. this is about young people who grew up in america, kids who studied in our schools. young adults who are starting careers. patriots who pledge allegiance to our flag. these dreamers are americans in their hearts and their minds and every single way but one. on paper. just a portion of the letter from former probe. attorney general jeff sessionses made the daca announcement earlier today. his remarks last about 10 minutes. mr. sessions: good morning. i'm here to announce today the program known as daca under the obama administration is being rescinded. the daca was implemented in 2012 and essentially provided a legal status for recipients for a enewable two-year term,

i'm here to announce today the program known as daca under the obama administration is being rescinded. the duck a program -- the daca program was implemented in 2012 and essentially provided a legal status for recipients for a renewable two-year term, worker authorization, and other benefits, including participation in the social security program, to 800,000 mostly adult illegal aliens. the policy was implemented unilaterally to great controversy and legal concern, after congress rejected legislative proposals to extend similar benefit on numerous occasions to this same group of illegal aliens. in other words, the executive branch through daca deliberately sought to achieve what the legislative branch specifically refused to authorize on multiple occasions. such an open-ended circumvention of law was an unconstitutional exercise by authority of the executive branch. the effect of this unilateral executive amnesty, among other things, contributed to a surge of minors at the southern border terribleded humanitarian consequences and also denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of americans,

states were challenging president obama. that is why this decision was made, there was a deadline on that. this month. i think it was today, which is why you see the announcement where the cup administration decided whether it would appeal -- the trump administration would decide whether it would appeal. if a in the program -- end the program, blue states will challenge it in court. host: the governor of new york said new york would not demonize immigrantsnd 40,000 will be deported if he ends da ca, we will soon -- sue. guest: this will be decided by the courts. , americansne right elected crop to make -- trump to make the daca this vision, not punt tocision, not to congress. guest: when you have a lot of legislative things you need to do, maybe you can trade, give me this and i will give you that. we have not seen that horsetrading in recent years that has been successful. they have tried it. you will see some trout supporters-- trump asking why he is backing down and yielding to congress, he should just end it. host: is th

this is how president obama wrapped it up. he write finally take time in the rush of events and responsibilities for friends and family. they'll get you through the inevitable rough patches. he adds that he and michelle are there to help president trump and first lady melania where they can, and i don't think anybody would argue that again, they didn't see eye to eye on a lot of issues, but we know at least to date, based on what we understand, the current president has not reached out to president obama whereas it was commonplace for other presidents to do so. >> depends on the president. >> does it matter? >> well, there are only a few people in this country at this moment who understand what it is like to be president. their experiences are invaluable. it makes no sense not to listen to them, at least seek their advice. but i think that president trump basically sends a signal to president obama when he tweeted about the wire tapping, the nonwire tapping of trump tower, that he didn't really want a relationship. you don't t

bush and barack obama so thomas in washington how do you see that. peter i and in short brief yes there is a considerable continuity at this stage donald trump has now signed on for the neo con platform so that people understand what the neo con view of the world is that it comes out of after the fall of the soviet union a view emerged on the right to begin with that never again would there be any power that could challenge the united states as had done the former soviet union. trump is now on board for that it's now a bipartisan consensus here it's more open amongst republicans but democrats are on board they sort of hide it a little bit with talk of regime change in the name of democratic advance but that's more cover than substance you see the democratic support many democrats voted for the iraq war democrats and obama and hillary clinton were responsible for regime change in libya you saw most recently when american warships fired missiles into syria immediately the democrats came on board and cheered this this goes quite there's a history in ame

cheryl: president obama's the limit set up a system. they reapply every two years and it was former president obama. rick jordan thank you so much for being with us tonight. appreciate it. we want to move to another big story we are following for you, evacuations have now been ordered in florida. hurricane dermis strengthens to category 5 storm and that means 185-mile per hour winds. this could make it the strongest hurricane in the atlantic since 2005. the orange juice futures soared as the hurricane barreled toward the state of florida. meteorologist fox weather center adam fox with "fox news" channel has the latest on this potentially catastrophic situation. i think we are still smarting from harvey and here harvey and here comes irma. >> we are not getting much of a break at all. you mention 185-mile an hour winds moving at 50 miles an hour beginning to run off on the lesser antilles through the overnight hours. these wins, these are historic 185-mile an hour winds make this sort ties with the second most powerful storm we have seen

the obama cabinet and, you know, so you have loretta lynch, leon pan et at that, they routinely took private jets. it's not as if this is the first time you've had cabinets agencies flying around on private jets. i'm not excusing it. i think in most cases it probably is excusable. but for the most part it probably -- why can't they fly on commercial jets like the rest of us. >> even if that is true, which is not -- >> it is true. i mean, they did take those flights. >> not true. >> i looked it up. >> not true that's not true. it never happened in the bush administration. we did not allow that in the bush administration. i talked to people -- >> i'm talking about the obama administration administration. >> it is not true. i checked that out too. we did not tolerate that in the bush administration and the obama -- >> i'm not talking about bush. i'm talking about obama. >> it is not true. >> leon pan et at that and eric holder, they all took private jets. >> to the extent that this administration is taking to the tune of a million dollars in

president obama left, another stink bomb he leaves. president obama is really good at this. turning people into reverse santas. he gives something away, realizing no one wants to be a reverse santa. donald trump has to be fixed. you yourself said it withh a makeshift stop gap to help noncitizens. i just want to clean up thisis mess. i just wanted done. that's all he's doing. it's amazing how the good guy in this is the guy that created this faulty band-aid and the bad guy is the one looking out for american interests and seeking to fix this band-aid. it should be the opposite. thank you, dana. and ed henry. i want four more minutes of ed henry ed henry. >> dana: we will try to get that to you in the next block. jesse watters. can congress get it done in six months? >> jesse: six months? no. six years? no. this is like president obama for christmas gives you a stolen car. and then you are riding around in a stolen car real happy but you are looking over your shoulder. all of a sudden, sheriff trump seizes a hot car insist we are not going to arrest you but we are going to dri

i lay that squarely at the doorstep of barack obama. lou: oh, i do too, and obviously the heads of the intelligence agencies during his administration, the heads of his national security team. and who knows, by the way, look at the fbi. are you kidding me? that is a way to conduct -- what about the head of his cia, who spied on the very intelligence committee that it has oversight over the cia and other intelligence agencies? >> i don't think there is more politicization of any intelligence -- lou: this is not a accusation. this is criminal conduct! >> and rank incompetent while on the subject. lou: no question about it. people are saying really? they unmasked someone, the head of the damn cia is surveilling the intelligence committee? quite a bunch. >> to be sure. lou: i think we need to talk more about what we can grant these intelligence agencies, john, but that is a conversation for another time. ambassador john bolton, great to have you with us. >> glad to be here. lou: thanks so much. be sure to vote in our poll tonight. do you be

whatever was there between trump and obama is short-lived and pret obama criticized president trump for pulling out of the accords and trying to repeal and replace obamacare. no love lost between the twonchts a. >> and the timing of this letter, and us a chance to read it and when the justice department revealed finding zero evidence president obama ever wiretapped trump tower as president trump claimed to your point, david, and in this filing released just last night, the doj writing, both fbi and nsd confirm there are no records related to wiretaps as described by the march 4, 2017 tweets. so those president trump tweets back in march included these accusations. terrible. just found out that obama had my wires tapped in trump tower just before the victory. nothing found. this is mccarthyism. then tweeting, how low has president obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process? this is nixon watergate, bad or sick guy. so, david, will this be embarrassing to president trump? >> well, i think it's certainly a defeat for him inside of washington. i think this matters m

obama didn't have obama care for the first 18 months. you're holding him to an unfair standard. he asked the percentages of still winning and the recommendations, and reince said you either drop out now or you lose by the biggest landslide in american electoral history. i said you have a 100% -- a 100% probability of winning. >> you asked him to double down on his rhetoric in terms of appealing to his base. >> appealing to the american people and the working class people in this country. absolutely. >> i don't think there is any doubt that if james comey had not been fired we would not have a special coup. we would not have the mueller investigation. we would not have the mueller investigation in the breadth that clearly mr. mueller is going. >> someone said to me that you described the firing of james comey -- you're a student of history -- as the biggest mistake in political history. >> that would be probably -- that would be too bombastic even for me but maybe modern political history. >> sean: as we continue with larry elder, greg jarrett, i talk about five forces against th

saying that obama wasn't born in the united states, and then barack obama had to watch the most brutal political cam camp in recent memory and hillary clinton getting pillared and defamed by donald trump, but he wanted here to show that there has to be a sense of continuity from administration to administration. this tradition of hitting a letter, and i think it is a tradition now that really was implemented by george herbert walker bush after he lost to bill clinton back in 1992, and you see president obama trying to say open handedly saying i am here to help you and i'll do anything possible to make you a success. >> in another party of the letter he goes on to say we are temporary occupants of this office and that makes us guardians of those democratic institutions like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties that our fore bearers fought and bled for. what do you feel of the fact that president trump felt the need to write that. >> i used to meet with president trump and a group of historians and a few of us at the white house and he would always talk

. >> that was president obama when he announced the program in 2012. president trump seemed to have a hard time making up his mind on this issue from the campaign to the oval office. >> always talking about dreamers for other people. i want the children that are growing up in the united states to be dreamers, also. they are not dreaming right now. we will immediately terminate president obama's two illegal executive amnesties. it's a very, very tough subject. we have to deal with daca with a heart. we love the dreamers. we love everybody. >> what does that love look like today? stand by to find out. we wait for jeff sessions to make the announcement. joining me now, dana bash and chris cillizza are here. also joining us, president of the latino partnership for latino principles and alex padilla. thank you for being here. dana, what do you make of this moment? >> well, it's obviously one of the many consequential moments and consequential decisions president trump has to make. it was put on his lap, as you played there, by his predecessor, by president

taxation ofinded undoing things obama did -- fixation of undoing things obama did is bad. net neutrality is being threatened. he is reconsidering the wisdom of some emergency management stuff obama put in place for flooding he rolled back immediately. we cannot go backwards. and be so focused on undoing a prior presidents legacy. agree with everything obama did but he did get a couple of things right and you presidents duty should be to look at this and examine the worthiness of whatever it is and then add on, not just repeal, repeal, repeal. that is what we are getting. , garyback to arizona calling from tempe, arizona. caller: good morning. the problem some people seem to be missing, though your last caller made it clear, his contempt was because he was breaking a major tenant of american ideals, that as he was having -- these were suites where he took -- sweeps where the deck anyone that were latino , latino americans, latinos from other countries, everyone was swept up in his racial profiling. that is why he deserved his punishment he got. the only reason there is stil

godspeed, b.o., barack obama. what did you make of that letter? >> i think the letter was very gracious a clear road map for a new administration coming in, and also i think it was especially magnanimous of president obama given the fact it donald trump led the birther movement in an effort to delegitimize off fur african-american president. he prose above that and moved forward to give some ideas with words of wisdom i think should be listened to. >> a lot of now, seven, eight months in, i guess, some of these sentences are kind of looked at with a different context now, and one of them, mr. secretary, i want you to respond to this and highlight. we are temporary occupants of this office that makes is guardians of those democratic institutions and trishgss like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and sieve's liberties that our forbear ers fought and bled for >> a hidden message and the concern because president trump come -- all of a sudden congress, new institutions. a wise message there as well that, you know, this is a job that
