defeated him it's just that hillary clinton got a lot of his votes and obama did obama miss the draw power of trump's rhetoric to. i mean on the visit to london before the break that vote you read and this in your book he told then prime minister david cameron when i watch trump's rallies i think how potent his message would be from a more skilled politician it was already pretty potent by then wasn't what he missed that actually i said that i thought you said yeah yeah yeah no i look we understand that so you missed it to be sure but to be very clear. brock obama i think as as an african-american understood full well the power of a demagogue and the power of division and divisiveness but to pick up on some of the threads in our questions i think you can overstate that there were some dramatic shift in public opinion in the united states you know again from got less votes than the republican who lost obama he was able to get the republican nomination that to me is the radicalization in american politics then he was able to defeat a very unpopular opponent and hillary clinton and i wo

also, i look at obama. obama said you can keep your doctor. he said you can save $2,500 every year, every family, and he said that you could keep your policy. now, the point i'm raising is, i'd like to hear a couple of the lies donald trump has told which in any way has come close to matching those in terms of damage done to this country because those are -- it isn't -- by the way, fact checking by "the washington post," if you're using that as a historical cool, it's absolutely absurd. host: professor brinkley, i'll give you a chance to respond. doug: well, i don't think "the washington post" is absolutely absurd. i think donlt trump's lies are well documented. but the caller makes a good point, even though you don't think i would say that when he was quite nasty toward me. but the gulf of tonkin is a horrendous lie by lyndon johnson and does lead to those 58,000 dead. and i think the caller is making a point, what are the big lies, the ones that really count, the policy lies that have a larger consequence than donald trump's rhetoric or, you

quote, obama administration rushed to preserve intelligence of russian election hacking. that was the headline. here is the lead. quote, in the obama administration's last days, white house officials scrambled to spread across the government information about russian efforts to undermine the presidential election and about possible contacts between associates of president-elect donald trump and russians. former american officials say they had two aims, to ensure that such meddling isn't duplicated in future elections, and to leave a clear trail of intelligence for government investigators. amid what "the times" describes as fears that intelligence could be covered up or destroyed or its sources exposed once power changed hands, what followed was a push to preserve the intelligence. quote, as inauguration day approached, obama white house officials grew convinced that the intelligence they had was damning and that they needed to ensure that as many people as possible inside government could see it, even if people without security clearances could not. some officials began

chemical weapons i think in syria in two thousand and thirteen the obama administration should have responded with force and eliminated the capacity of the syrian regime to use helicopters and other if forced to draw better bombs of people said that is a mistake i think it was a mistake for obama for example to exit in iraq in two thousand and eleven when he was not dead yet or the iraqi military and police were not dead yet to deal with what we knew then an emerging terrorists threat which eventually happened in two thousand and fourteen when asked if the all that or more so that's still not enough to call it a show it's still a balancing game no i think it is a balancing in terms of its intent but in terms of its outcome it was catastrophic specially in syria and iraq that i would not disagree with you but in terms of the iranian gulf in terms of dealing with iran i think the iranian deed was the right course to pursue because it eliminated threat of nuclear weapons from the equation and created in opening for a new the set of the relations between the united states and iran relat

would you use to describe the policies of his predecessor look when it comes to the middle east in a obama try to do this kind of balancing and try to establish in the middle east this kind of coexistence between saudi arabia and iran on the assumption that the major divide in the middle east with which they and they deal with that assumption is this conflict this divide between saudi arabia and iran and so with with the with the conclusion of the nuclear economic between the united states you know the p five plus one and you know on the idea was that if we take nuclear weapons if we take the fear of nuclear weapons out of the equation in the relationship between the states and the west and iran then we can start talking about these other. these other obstacles or challenges in the relationship which is very much iran behavior in the region so is their war that you put all the aspects of the. policy under i think it's kind of balancing policy it's a kind of a distorting some kind of equilibrium policy and and deists. let's put it this way it's a de is collation policy now you mentioned the

problem with obama has is that kill the left. i don't know i think in syria for example in two thousand and thirteen when there was a threat of and we knew that the assad regime was about to use chemical weapons on the white scale like he has done in. and already in two thousand and twelve obama has established a deadline in the senate about the use of chemical weapons i think in syria in two thousand and thirteen the obama administration should have responded with force and eliminated the capacity of the syrian regime to use helicopters and other if forced to draw better bombs of people said that is a mistake i think it was a mistake for obama for example to exit in iraq in two thousand and eleven when he was not dead yet or do iraqi military and police we're not ready yet to deal with what we knew then an emerging terrorists threat which eventually happened in two thousand and fourteen when asked if the all the more so that's still not enough to call it a show it's still a balancing game no i think it is a balancing in terms of

president obama found funding for the obama care exchanges. the fact is we do have a national emergency at the border. and the fact that that's sustained by the coverage of the humanitarian crisis going on there for a long time. on the very evening president trump gave his remarks in el paso. we had 1,800 different family units coming to the border a row including 316 west of el paso where you have an enormous group of people to the point where they had to move atvs out of the garage to find a place for them to sleep at night there these should not happen. it should be something congress should adrech because presidents shouldn't have the power to do these things. but what the president did is legal. howie: susan collins and other republicans are opposed to this declaration. beverly: we know this is a possibility from trump even when the shutdown happened. republicans looked at it and said we didn't like the when obama did it. the media has never covered it the same way we are seeing the coverage now. one of the problems with the coverage for

under president obama. the number of judges confirmed in the 115th congress was nearly 4 times as many as the number confirmed in the 114th congress. that is no argument for changing the rules. and i think, as you look more closely here, the obvious question is, how many of these judges, judicial candidates are being held up for 30 hours? how many candidates at all are being held up for 30 hours of debate? here is what the record tells us. the senate rarely uses all 30 post cloture hours on nominations. often scheduling votes around times that work best for both caucuses. according to the congressional research service, the jeff sessions attorney general nomination is the only nomination in the last two years were almost all of the 30 hours of debate were used. secretary pruitt left under extraordinary circumstances, was next at 24 hours and 55 minutes of debate time. the vast majority of nominees have been confirmed the lesson 10 hours of debate. on november 7, 2018 senator mcconnell told mcclatchy news th

he was making the correct point that morocco obama's policy of strategic patience which meant to ignore the d.p. r. k. well imposing sanctions allowed them to acquire a nuclear power they have multiple nuclear weapons and ballistic missile technology such that it can reach the united states what did that help the united states by ignoring and treating d.p. r. k. is a pariah trump is taking a different different poll here where i don't think he's wrong about his characterization and it wasn't just about obama he said it wasn't that or simply obama it was all past that ministrations remember in two thousand clinton was almost where donald trump is now with normalizing relations with the d.p. r. k. george w. bush sabotage and torpedoed that then north korea started building was there west of the dead is done under the obama administration and i in the time of silence if you like of inaction was the time when the d.p. r. k. built up built itself up to be a nuclear power that's when the domino it's you know it's obama and george w. bush right when george w. bush declared north korea to be pa

[ laughter ] >> yo, you're cheating on that book, my guy. he has a legacy, we'll keep it there. >> seth: so that's who you guys, as a service to him, you will not have him on the show. >> yes, imagine you got obama on there, freaking a black and mild. >> you know what i mean? >> getting the tobacco out of it. like, this is how you get the cancer out. >> should we dice it, obama? different takes? >> you got a studio? i want to drop a verse. >> get me in the booth. i've got fire. [ laughter ] >> seth: you guys -- you know, i want to ask about this. if this is true, i have heard tell that "the bodega boys," your podcast, which is great. [ cheers and applause ] there were people in the obama administration -- >> yeah.

the only president never to hit 3%, that was obama. instead of imposing strict government controls, new government programs like his predecessor, president trump in less than two years now, has given power back to you, the american people, and he's opened up freedom and liberty and unleashed american greatness once again. two short years, the president has signed a record, historic low tax cut. he's ended hundreds of burdensome government regulations, open up oil and natural gas expansion, approved new pipelines. we are now energy independent, and the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas is also negotiated new trade deals that benefited america with mexico, canada, and for the first time in many years, manufacturing jobs are back with a vengeance. let's not forget the president nominated anti-confirmed two highly qualified originalists, conservative supreme court justices who will uphold our constitutional values for decades to come. dozens of other originalist federal judges have been confirmed. the president designed sweep

of accusing president obama of over stepping his authority. >> if president obama acts in defiance of the people and imposes the will on the country, congress will act. >> this president, if he doesn't get his way, i got pen. i got a phone. i'm going to go it alone. well, that's a disaster waiting to occur. >> we the senate are waiting in our duty. to stop this lawless administration at its unconstitutional amnesty. >> it may take a while to get him but the thing is history will treat him unkindly on this if he thinks he ecan become king. >> if he has the power to do that, what could a republican do regarding laws they don't like? he's created an executive action i think flies in the face of checks and balances and he had two year oofz democraticb controlled house and senate with super majorities and he never lifted a finger. >> we'll tell you how republican congressman explained it next. wn congressman explained it next. ty and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it wa

there is a statute that president obama signed that does allow some money to be directed towards border fencing. the president has said that he is going to use that statute as well, and they might try to spend that money first. there i think he is on stronger legal ground, and it will be less likely that that will be tied up in the courts. if he does that first they might be able to get some of what he wants to do done. but the emergency powers is going to be a contentious issue, as the president said when he announced it on friday, he expect did that he would have some unfavorable court rulings, particularly in the ninth circuit and it would end up at the supreme court and see what happens. host: when it comes to congressional republicans, how much support do you think he will get from them, considering the route he is taking? guest: it's going to create problems, congressional republicans are afraid of the president -- of the precedent it will set, they don't want to democratic president to come in and say climate change is a national emergency so i'm going to spend money that you did

even being a obama white house meant e!, y meant e!, having president obama give us time was very important, that's the number one resource you could never get back is time. even michael is one of my mentors and just having him in my life and giving him his hiem, and investing me in and making sure we're correct. i interned at the democratic caucus last summer and he helped me go over my application and material. him feeding into plief, givi my sharing his time, has been the most important experience and most successful part of this program. that showed with president obama giving of his time. >> and they reported the secondary schools were students of colors much more likely than whites to face a combination of classrooms rated low on instructional quality and schools rated low on safety and teacher/student respect. that feels much more institutional than the first part that you guys are talking about, mentorship and support and time and guidance, which would be great and i think jerron is probably in a position to be mentoring people

the obama administration couldn't have done it. number one, they probably wouldn't have done it and number two they didn't have the capability to do it. i want to thank everybody. i want to wish our new attorney general great luck and speed and enjoy your life. bill, good luck. tremendous reputation. i know you'll do a great job. thank you very much and thank you everybody. thank you very much. thank you. >> that was 50 free willing minutes from president trump. this morning the no teleproptmpr president announced a national emergency. he complained about executive action which he just used. he acknowledged he's probably going to get sued and listening to it all, you, us, the rest of america, and eventually probably the judges who will ultimately rule on whether he just did is even legal. our team is here. to say we have a lot to sift there is an understatement. garrett hake, we have legal analyst glen kirschner. we have joining us michael steele, julia ainsley, charlie savage as well and kelly o'donne o'donnell. she was in that ne

but if those judges are going to dismantle a great deal of things not just from the obama eight years but from you know when we talk about roe v wade we can talk about all sorts of things but those judges will be dismantled as well chris christie told me the other merit would be his legacy trump's legacy better leave will be yes now do you think he's succeeded in dismantling the obama legacy you know what i don't think so because you know better than i like you know we he's you know it's amazing he's he's kind of just stand back in now and you know right now michelle's out front with her book tour and doing all the different things she's doing and i'm so you know i'm so impressed by him of kind of just sitting back and letting other people do what they did but he must be ticked you know i don't know that because remember the obama legacy is about hope it was about change and i think what we're seeing now is just look at the midterms we're seeing so many women so many diverse folks getting involved in politics that perhaps the rebound of trump out of obama and then this rebound that we

this is where senator obama would have sat for those sessions. in 2018 senator obama, u.s. senator obama, is elected president. he announced his candidacy at the old state cal in sprfled in 2007. he came to springfield to announce his candidacy for the white house. in 2018 he returned to springfield where he announced david jacoby as his running -- joe bidenen as his running -- joe biden as his running mate. his first visit out of the white house after being inaugurated was to springfield. the last time he was in springfield was in 2016. he came to springfield kind of on a farewell tour. he gave an eloquent speech in the house chamber. many of the legislators had served with him. one of the more interesting things about this building is you can run into everybody from the senate president, to janitors, tour guide and tough who have their own obama story because he served in this building for eight years from 1997 to 2005. everybody has a story. some of those stories are he used to take cigarettes from me and we would go smoke outside the building. some of the stories are la

for president trump than president obama? guest: it takes place in the house chamber, but not in a vacuum. what he says tonight needs to be judged in the context of what he has said in the previous months. after he calls for unity and ipartisanship tonight, tomorrow, or the day after, will he do something to undermine that message? it has to be judged in the whole context. host: how much of a state of the union address is a speechwriter and how much is it the president? guest: i can we speak to the previous administration, president obama was always the chief speechwriter in that process, it was very collaborative not just among communications and policy staff, but also cabinet agencies and members of the administration at large that are fighting for that real estate. when a policy is mentioned in the state of the union it is elevated. host: mary kate cary, same question and how was it under george h w bush? >> there's a very elaborate process that i think many presidents use, it starts with directions from the president, and

the statute says republican, i would send president obama a name. on a couple of occasions, he didn't want to appoint them. fine, i'd send him another name. that's what i recommended to the democratic leader with regard to this particular individual. so the level of comedy here is way out of whack, way out of whack. the administration is going to honor that agreement but that particular individual, senator schumer, experienced the same thing i did with a couple of names i sent to president obama that simply weren't acceptable. >> i've taken too much time. i apologize, but i do want to respond to the republican leader. you have a veteran of the senate. you are a good vote counter. you are a very persuasive leader. finding three or four republican votes for a democratic nominee is not beyond your reach. as senator schumer has found some democratic votes when necessary to establish the comedy we both want to see. why are we considering a permanent rules change in the senate to resolve this? we know it isn't necessary when it comes to judges. we don't u
