wasn't a proper certificate. who knows about obama. >> his mother was a u.s. citizen, born in kansas. >> who knows? who knows? who cares right now. i hope he was born -- because if he wasn't, it's the greatest scam in history, not political history, in history. >> president obama, of course, was born in the united states and, you know, don't forget that this was part of his first campaign speech. >> they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. they're rapists and some, i assume, are good people. >> jeff zeleny is out front live in missouri where the president is going to be speaking shortly and jeff, president trump turning what was supposed to be a policy speech at the white house, essentially making a campaign speech with no actual policy specifics at all. >> reporter: jake, usually those type of words, usually that type of rhetoric comes here at a rally like this. you can see behind me thousands of people, of course, air force one will be pulling up here, but the president was doing it today in the roosevelt room of the white house. as you said, the white house aides promised n

[applause] thanks and hello everyone can you hear me okay? thanks for coming out. this is such a unique experience because i was explaining to someone outside it's kind of like if you wrote a novel and came to get a reading and in the audience for all the characters in your book you know more about this than i do. so this is the story of the office of presidential correspondence and quite a few of them are here tonight. rather than tell you about them i'm going to introduce them and bring some of them up here. what i wanted to first do is talk about this project and how it came to be and what i am doing here. so, this book started actually has a story in "the new york times" magazine. and as you heard, i was researching back in 2016 at the end of the obama administration. a

united states. it worked and what you see barack obama is doing is interjecting himself in the cultural debate where many democrats shy away from. and there are people who are sick and tired of the xenophobia, sick and tired of the bigotry, sick and tire to have had prejudices. they're tired of these things. this is truly a battle for the soul of the country and i don't say that lightly and i think donald trump is playing on the fears and you have candidates closing on things like health care. you have democrats talking about health care and criminal justice reform, you have democrats talking about real-life issues but the difference on tuesday will be the candidates running themselves, not necessarily donald trump. because what you have is -- with all due respect to anybody else who ran for governor of florida -- they would not be able to do what andrew gillum has done. anybody else running for governor of georgia would not be able to do what stacey abrams is doing. you have those two individuals in particular who are casting progressivism in a black idiom. i stole that from a

obama will be there and on sunday president trump will be rallying for the republican gubernatorial candidate, brain camp. he's racing against stacy abrams and a few hours ago president trump sounded off on why he believes she is the wrong woman for the job. >> president trump: i've always liked oprah. oprah is good but the woman she supporting is not qualified to be governor of georgia. take a look at her past, her history and, that state will be in big trouble very quickly. >> if she wins, she would be the first african-american woman in history to become the governor of georgia and she's opposing the current -- disproportionately rejecting african-american voter registrations. camp has denied the charge but race has become one of if not the dominant issue between the two candidates. today oprah told voters in georgia that they are on the precipice of an historic election and they owe it to their ancestors to get out and vote. >> for anybody here who has an ancestor who didn't have the right to vote, and you are choosing not to vote, wherever you are in this state in this country,

describing a colleague as an "obama judge." a briton accused of spying in the united arab emirates begins a life sentence in prison. and taking the chair — ahead of the un climate change conference, david attenborough shows off the people's seat, designed to give ordinary people a say. hello. saudi arabia's foreign minister has told the bbc that criticising the leadership of the kingdom is a red line and will not be tolerated. adel al—jubeir said that includes calls to replace crown prince mohammed bin salman, who he said was not involved in the murder of the journalist and saudi government critic jamal khashoggi. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet has been speaking exclusively to the foreign minister in riyadh. an unshakeable bond, but the us congress now has the prince in its sights. it wants to know what role did he play in the murder ofjamal khashoggi. but in riyadh, the kingdom's top diplomat hits back. the crown prince of saudi arabia is not involved in this. we have made that very clear. we have an investigation that's ongoing, and we will punish the indiv

time around is supposed to -- the crisis with iran during the obama administration, there was not as much -- buy-innal by in with sanctions. that has led to more uncertainty about the likely impact of those sanctions and the way iran is likely to react. tehran apparently believes it can ride out the sanctions and outwait the trump administration. it has refused to negotiate on the nuclear issue with the trump administration and undoubtedly hopes to have a new administration after 2020 to negotiate with. and i think for that reason, iranian officials will be watching this midterm election as much as many americans. we are fortunate to have with us today our expert panel to look at a number of issues. this panel will include mark dubowitz, the ceo of the foundation of defense for democracies. michael doran of the husson institute. and patrick clawson. we will look at the likely impact of sanctions, what additional u.s. policies are needed to deal with a wider range of iran's behavior. and what needs to be done, if anything, to get to an improved nuclear agreement. is that in the cards?

in chief of the hill newspaper and l.com to read let me ask you about former president obama, where he has been, and what impact you think he could have on the vote tomorrow. >> he has been pretty busy in the last few weeks. democrats earlier in the year were wondering where he was. it wanted him to be more active. certainly, down the closing arguments of the party, obama has been in a fair amount of places. he was campaigning in the south for georgia candidate stacey abrams. we had a reporter who was with him and he has a way of electrifying the base. as you know, the democratic party is really looking for leaders now. because barack obama is a former president and he still really is the leader of the democratic party. he is one that can really turn out voters and if democrats turn out a lot, basically the more people to vote, the better news for democrats in the election. host: one note as you well know, tim kaine who is running for reelection, hillary clinton's running mate, was among the first senators to endorse barack obama when he was running back in 2007, 2008 before he got
