obama: they might be praying about you. [laughter] pres. obama: but you don't know if they are praying for you. but i knew miss ruth was telling the truth. so they were the proverbial salt of the earth, and they passed on that strength and that grit, but also that kindness and that faith, to their son. as a boy, elijah's dad made him shine his shoes and tie his tie, and they would go to the airport -- not to board the airplane's, but to watch others do it. i remember elijah telling me this story. robert would say, "i have not flied. i may not fly. but you will fly one day. we can't afford it right now, but you will fly." his grandmother, as a leisure related -- as elijah related, as grandmothers do, was a little more impatient with her advice. your daddy, she said, "he been waiting and waiting for a better day. don't you wait." and elijah did not wait. against all odds, elijah earned his degrees. he learned about the rights of all people in this country -- that all people in this country are supposed to possess, a little help, apparently, f

they came from president obama. i had the insight to know then people sit rug out from underneath me in this meeting, it just doesn't affect how he ends the meeting and where he tells us we're all going to go off. he's only in the tiny percentage of our discussions. it would be undermining of me and so his team of rivals idea was to get those ideas out there but also he is human. he doesn't always, seto is his favorite thing to hear them. we certainly would make an effort to make an effort to the perspective was heard that i was a palace and he knew that i was part of why it's which is so rare. if you like, do you have the flu. what's going on there. what he had that look on your face. you look skeptical. so he really extracts. which is different now and even john bolton lost his job is did everybody before him for contesting but the president and the path the president wish to pursue. >> so long those lines i find the book so inspiring and motivational is a woman. i think it was that way for everyone. women and men

ron waters and barack obama -- rioters writes about barack obama and he passed away of cancer in 2010 and he's around for the oh election and had his weekly column for decades on black politics. he's both impressed by broke obama but also disappointed that obama refuses to listen and understand that his job as president is to be open to a black agenda along with other agendas. that's what he's disappointed by any realizes that broke obama's president of the united states poet waters makes an argument about in his criticism of obama is black leadership and black people as that as president of the united states, you have to listen to multiple agendas and then decide the importance of those agendas before you're going to attack those agendas. they listen to armenian americans, turkish americans and listen to multiple way and what walter is saying and when they're being disingenuous and they were advocating for black agenda. you can only follow the law because walter said that if you're in a society there listening to multiple agendas and how is this first black president the black presid

i think obama is keeping his powder dry. he wants to endorse whoever comes out of the process on the democratic side and be the elder statesman who brings everyone together. if he were going to endorse anyone early, you would think it would be biden, but he has clearly made a decision not to do that. i don't necessarily see this as a deliberate snub of biden with the timing, given when that canadian election is happening. >> shannon: it seems like the biden camp could use a lifeline at this point. joe biden said "i asked him not to endorse me." >> i don't know if i believe that that you asked obama not to endorse you -- i'm not buying that. but i think he makes a very good point as far as the fact that the canadian election is coming up, this is not the first time that obama has endorsed a foreign leader. he endorsed the french president as well in 2017. the issue of blackface obviously is very sensitive and i'm sure some people wonder how can a man with african descendants support a person who has worn blackface but i think

viewers might recognize you from work in the obama administer ration justice department. you have found it "demand d "demand -- founde justice." grassroots and awaken them to the crisis we believe is recurring in the -- occurring in the federal judiciary. probably the longest legacy that donald trump will have will be his lasting imprint that he left in terms of the judges he has nominated. he has confirmed 150 federal judges, including two supreme court justices quite famously. it is not just the number of the judges at the historic nature of how ideology clean extreme -- how ideologically extreme they seem. point is we can win at the ballot box at 2020 and defeat donald trump and win back the senate and yet all of the priorities may well be facing certain power because we have a judiciary that is hostile to the progressive ideas because trump will have any -- so many trump style judges that will be with us. host: how you activate the grassroots and how are you funded? lobby andtry to oppose some of trump's most extreme judicial nominees. we were highly involved in the c

but in the obama administration, when you were in congress, president obama promised to treat the ukraine the way he would an nato ally. yes obama when ukraine was under attack by russia in the next crimea. the obama administration did absolutely nothing in terms of providing the javelins which are apparently the anti-aircraft, the defensive weapons, he did nothing to provide them with it and assist ukraine, and basically left them on their own certainly not like the nato al ally. >> he even had to order the nato had the u.s. general to stand down because we made a commitment although they were not nato we made a commitment in return that we would treat them like an nato ally for purposes of defending and when we let that happen we gave a green light under the obama administration to annex quid pr. >> with the reset intel, i'll have more flexibly after the election, it's just outrageous the double theater. but you know the iraqi people as they look at this, they see the double standard and i wonder as hard as the democrats are trying, it appears there's an abuse of power not so much by th

this is another method for the president by barack obama. the obama administration allowed ask additional is saying our branch of the pkk, a terrorist organization operating in turkey to set up a buffer zone in syrian territory along the turkish border. this is always unacceptable from turkey. it was eventually going to lead to conflict. the question is how do we move forward and i think that is what mike pence is moving on but that the end of the day the american people don't know why american soldiers are in syria and they want them to come home and they will be with the president. >> former cia official book sexton tweeted this. 500,000 human beings were killed in syria while barack obama was president and leading for a political settlement to that civil war. media has been more outraged in the last 72 hours over a syria policy than they were in any point during 7 years of slaughter. ask why. >> what do you make of the media coverage. >> it has been remarkable and hypocritical used to be a value trade on the democratic side and the media

and 31 under truncheon you say thank you barack obama look obama certainly deserves some credit for getting that unemployment rate down but it continues to slide lower than anybody thought was possible i think that you know if you look at your growth is growing slower on the tram than it doing well barack obama the problem let me say this the problem we have in the american economy today is not a shortage of jobs. you know if we put every unemployed person into a job we'd still have a 1000000 have jobs left over that's a that's a pretty strong economy it is and i'm saying there inherited a pretty strong economy your way trump should be given you say trump should be given a nobel prize for economics when barack obama was president you said americans shouldn't reelect the incumbents who quote run up the deficit by a trillion dollars in the woods this year the trump deficit crossed a trillion dollars it will cost a trillion dollars a year as well so stephen surely for the sake of consistency you will be urging everyone not to reelect donald trump well no i'm not hands out and go you're

you worked in the obama administration. what is this hang up he has with barack obama? >> look, you have a president in trump that just recognizes, i think, in his heart of hearts as much as he probably doesn't want to admit it that barack obama was smarter, was more beloved, more effective, a better president than donald trump will ever be. and that gets to him. that gets his goat every single day. and so every opportunity he has he has to put down barack obama. but to watch and to listen to president obama at the funeral service for representative cummings was to get another glimpse of the man that he is and the leader that he was as president and the kind of leadership that we need again in this nation. and so, you know, whether it's insulting president obama or last night announcing over twitter that something big happened and he was going to have a press conference this morning at 9:00 eastern, the thing about trump is that he always wants to make it about him. it's not about you and your family. it's not about the american people. it's not about our men and women

so listen to some of the words president obama spoke. we will play an excerpt. and decide for yourself if you think he's directed his comments at anyone in particular. >> there is something about daughters and their father. [ applause ] >> and i was thinking i'd want my daughters to know how much i loved them, but i'd also want them to know that being a strong man includes being kind. [ applause ] >> that there is nothing weak about kindness and compassion. there is nothing weak about looking out for others. there is nothing -- there is nothing weak about being honorable. you're not a sucker to have integrity and to treat others with respect. i was sitting here, and i was just noticing the honorable elijah e. cummings. and, you know, this is a title that we confer on all kinds of people who get elected to public office. [ applause ] we're supposed to introduce them as "honorable." but elijah cummings was honorable before he was elected to office. there's the difference. [ applause ] there's a difference if you were honorable and treated others honorably outside

it sounds like president obama is worried he may see something or do something that embarrass the obama biden legacy and as we have seen the last couple weeks with all this coming out about hunter biden it is not looking good for biden, and that translate not well to president obama. >> hillary clinton potentially jumping into the race that bill clinton's former advisor said she feels she was born to be president but may wait until joe biden drops out as well. do you think hillary clinton could potentially get into this thing? >> there is always a possibility with hillary clinton. let's be honest here. the one thing i love about what she said is politics, you should get into politics because you feel that calling. if she feels that calling i understand but i don't think voters have much to do with this but she's welcome to throw her name in this. >> that is one thing about becoming president. it is called the voter. rob: the fbi and npd on high alert. the death of abu bakr al-baghdadi raising fresh fears at home about retaliation attack in new york city, potential targets. people from a

when they scolded president obama on the tarmac back in 2012. the media said, awful.ma >> it's this picture with the republican governor's finger at the president's face that has jan brewer on the defensive.si >> she hates the president so much that they don't have respect for the office. >> all that money saw was a white woman wagging her finger a at the first black president. what is wrong with this picture? would they do this to a white president? p p >> laura: yes they would and they did just this week. nancy pelosi's finger wag received a different treatment. >> the day culminated with this now iconic photo of house speaker nancy pelosi. >> this iconic photo. >> look at that photo of one woman standing up. >> standing in a room full of men challenging the president. >> taking on the presidents. >> giving it to the president of the united states. >> laura: okay. this is too good. the free beacon has an extendedo version of this hypocrisy which is really funny, but joining me now, the founder and president of turning point usa. luis miranda,

let's go back to 2014, 2015, 2016, obama administration. what is u.s. policy toward ukraine at this time? >> u.s. policy towards ukraine since ukraine's independent from the soviet union has been fairly consistent in pushing ukraine on anticorruption reform. that's been one of the corner stones of u.s. messaging in ukraine for decades, and that's been fairly consistent, both under barack obama and under president trump, and you know, under the obama administration this was very much carried by his ambassadors to ukraine who have long played a strong role in kiev in working with politicians there to try and convey the message of, look, you need to clean up corruption. >> what was then vice president joe biden's role? >> so joe biden was obama's point person in ukraine, and he really carried that message for the president. he also oversaw the u.s. response -- perhaps not the u.s. response but the u.s. messaging when it came to conflict in ukraine, the russian annexation of crimea, it was 2014 where you had russia lops off a chunk of ukraine, annexes crime

got involved in very bad things during the obama years. i think that one of the things -- one of the reasons they are responding loudly is because what joe biden and his son did in ukraine is a tip of the iceberg. there are some very bad things that went on at the state department and the president and rudy giuliani are correct to look at ukraine. not a coincidence. >> laura: there is a piece of the atlantic that caught my eye. "the experts strike back." it was all about how state department officials including mr. mckinley who recently resigned because of the firing of the ukraine ambassador, u.s. of acid or. he's in a huff saying how dare you. they were an obama loyalist and he wanted his own person in there. it is not unusual for a president to want his own ambassadors and place? >> of course not. that is what you are supposed to do. but the people in place that he trusts to implement his policy and this is also what foreign nationals like as well. they want to know they're speaking to the president. they want to know they have the pres

let's kick it off with barack obama. the 44th, and as far as i'm concerned, only black president of the united states. he's been pretty quiet since leaving office. but every now and then, he likes to remind us of what we're missing. >> barack obama and michelle obama holding their third annual obama foundation sum. the former president talked about being a little too pious about politics. >> this idea of purity and you're never compromised and you're always politically woke and all that stuff, you should get over that quickly. the world-- the world is messy. there are ambiguities. people who do really good stuff

obama is the only one who has authority. is second point he makes when the ukrainians question his authority to withhold money, he says call the white house. meaning that the president gave him the authority to deal with ukraine as he did, including if he had to withhold the money. that point gets totally overlooked and it also shows that biden was not acting on his own authority, on his own accord, or of his own interest to go over there. he was sent there by president obama. are you still there? i think we lost them. guest: you raise a really good point that biden was working on behalf of the obama administration. he had been appointed by obama to leon ukraine. so there was no way for him to go rogue and call for the removal without the wider administration raising eyebrows about that you make a bigger point that he was working closely with obama on this and on behalf of obama, not a biden only initiative. host: james in washington, d.c., independent. caller: good morning, finally got through. i'm independent now, but i ju

what about obama and the deals he struck? what about obama in iran? all of these things obama did in the dark of night, trump is just doing them in daylight. so let's let trump be trump. >> obama come out in the driveway of the white house and say he wanted foreign governments to interfere with our elections and do research on his opposition? >> absolutely not. >> did obama start using profanity against his opponents? i mean, there are some things that obama was accused of. >> sure. >> none were proven. and obama never confirmed them with his own rhetoric. but you have donald trump as his own witness against him in some of these things. obama never had a call with a guy like erdogan in turkey and changed foreign policy without talking to anyone in the pentagon or allies. and i think that, jesse, i keep hearing a lot of right-wingers comparing obama to trump and it is absolutely erroneous when you look at the fact this president has said a lot of this himself. >> well, if you try to picture this unfolding with barack obama as president, it is mind blow

you go back to the obama administration. the one that gets under my skin we never did find out lois lerner and tax exempt group within irs did where obama administration used one of the more feared agencies of federal government as a political weapon against their opponents. >> the tea party. >> right. i strang out o we never know whd here. i to to my investigation in clinton e-mail scandal. the statute that i believe hillary clinton broke but president obama. a second under. whoever having lawf lawful possn or control of any document relating too national defense through gross nec negligence,, permits to be re move or having knowledge it has been remove illegally removed and fails to make prompt report of loss. subject to fine up to 10 years in prisonment. inspector general of justice department came up with somehow that. intend in it none. store it in a place to -- i don't know where that came from. but that is to the person that is improperly through gross neg negligence handling this. what about the person who just has k

in that role he defended the obama administration. he was a close friend of president obama and, in fact, was one of his first supporters back in 2008. so elijah cummings was on capitol hill, served the people of baltimore for some 25 years, served under a number of different administrations. he had a particular closeness to former presidents clinton and obama. his wife, was widow maya, asked those two men to speak here today, to euligize him and they agreed to do that. >> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying elijah cummings didn't just represent the city of baltimore, he embodied the city of baltimore. one of my fondest memories, jeff, of the congressman after the riots broke out there in baltimore, after the death of freddie gray, it was elijah cummings that stepped off and made this impassioned plea to the people of baltimore to calm down and remember freddie gray that way. he will be remembered, he will be missed. geoff bennett, we'll check in with you in just a bit. right now as we continue to look at live pictures there

let's kick it off with barack obama. the 44th, and as far as i'm concerned, only black president of the united states. he's been pretty quiet since leaving office. but every now and then, he likes to remind us of what we're missing. >> barack obama and michelle obama holding their third annual obama foundation sum. the former president talked about being a little too pious about politics. >> this idea of purity and you're never compromised and you're always politically woke and all that stuff, you should get over that quickly. the world-- the world is messy. there are ambiguities. people who do really good stuff have flaws. like, if i tweet or hashtag about how you didn't do something right or used the wrong verb or-- then i can sit back and feel pretty good about myself, because, man, you see hoe woke i was. i called you out. ( laughter ) if all you're doing is casting stones, you're probably not going to get that far. >> trevor: man, wow. you know, when you-- when you watch, that you really remember that american presi

you asked to see president obama. i think you wanted him to cut a radio ad for the individual running for senate in hawaii. we met behind the stage in the arena. >> i remember that. >> you in typically efficient manner made the case for why you needed him to do it. he agreed to do it. then there was this moment of silence and you reached out and you gave him a hug. >> yes. >> and, you know, my sense is that you're not that frequent a hugger. that that is not your way. and i was touched by that moment. >> he, for me, stood for everything good about america. i have been in government my whole life. i never came across anyone that changed the country and the world as much as he did. >> you seemed to have almost a fillial relationship, a pride in him and maybe part of it is you helped launch the whole endeavor. >> well, i don't hesitate to say on this show, i don't care who is listening, and this is something i don't throw around very often, but i love barack obama. i really do. man-to-man, i love barack obama. no one els

when i listen to him slam barack obama accusing joe biden of knowng barack obama's you what. from the moment he first laid eyes on barack obama, the green eyed monster has been eating away at donald trump. he is extremely jealous of barack obama. host: because? caller: excuse me, go ahead. host: because why? caller: i think he is upset barack obama is probably still more admired and then he is and i think it speaks volume about hatred inof rachel his predominantly white audiences -- racial hatred in his predominantly white audiences and those calling on c-span. they want desperately, desperately to not only erase barack obama's record, but basically erase him from the very pages of history. host: that is jerry calling on the line for democrats. back to john mcardle. host 2: want to keep viewers up-to-date on what is happening on capitol hill. theress away on recess, but impeachment inquiry continuing including today. we are expected to see another hearing behind closed doors, this one in the house intelligence committee. this is jeff bennett reporting marie yovanovitch is set

qe had to withdraw from ira under the obama administration. that was a deal that president bush had cut, and we fulfilled. we also had to fight the same reformed isis in syria. to keepon is you have pressure on the terrorists. it does not have to be a permanent u.s. military presence and because president obama decided to fight isis in syria differently than we had done in afghanistan or iraq before it by using partner forces, the kurds, rather than putting u.s. forces in the combat, we were able to do so economically. we are talking about hundreds of u.s. troops that remain in syria, not tens of thousands, and we needed to stay to support and protect the kurds, but also to keep an eye on isis so they did not get a sense that they can still a jump on us. the other thing that is crazy about what president trump did is that there are thousands of heise's prisoners that have been held in detention by the kurds that will now be abandoned by the kurds, because they have no choice but to defend themselves, and those will be terrorists to go back int

obama didn't share the birth all trade with republicans. it is silly and it is hypocritical and i think everybody as he said at the beginning, all the good people here in this country should endure enjoy the day. >> greg: if he had compared al-baghdadi to hitler because he's been compared to hitler all the last three years. and how dare you bring up hitle hitler? >> dan: worlds are colliding. you forgot to add, the obama administration's collaboration on that movie zero dark thirty. if they just make movies. the trump administration hasn't gotten near that. but think about this, how much did you have to hate this president? us, we know the media because we are in it. this headline had to make it past an editor, probably a couple who looked at it. you realize two or three people saw this headline and said this sounds great. by the way, the headline about al-baghdadi is not even the worst part. it's he's shy, he wears wireframes, talking about gandhi, the wireframe glasses. it was really a grotesque piece and it describes why america is done

i mean, i think that, you know, it's true that president obama got a lot of blowback from the way he handled the initial surge of central american migration, they didn't separate families but detained families for long periods of time and a lot of the immigration advocacy groups that have been the most critical of president trump's policies were also very critical of the obama administration during that time and he did in his own ways, obama did what the trump administration, the trump administration tried to do in much more aggressive ways to figure out ways to deter people and if you come you'll be sent back and obama got criticism for that but i do think that, you know, this idea of having candidate who was going to take a populist message national and having trump be that person that was what really drove the immigration issue to the core of the 2016 election and that's why i think it's been such a driver of his presidency because i think his advisers and president trump himself felt very strongly that he could never kind of lose faith with that message if he had a chance of bein

barack obama put a permanent stop and he never allowed them to go. so you're telling me we will impeach president trump when delivering aid that barack obama did not deliver, that is absolutely ludicrous and if president trump had the wrong color of thai democrat would march to impeachment because they're unable to work for debate or fair election. that's what this is about the political process in the pay a political price in the 2020 election when the forgotten men and women send this president back. jeanine: let's assume that the articles of impeachment, they have to come out of judiciary don't they? >> i assume once they go through this unfair process i assume adam schiff will put together a report, send it to the committee and the committee with certain articles of impeachment -- when you make the rules up as you go along, who knows how this plays out. but i assume that's what they will do, we will make sure we present the facts as best we can to get the information to the american people. matt is right and you're right, the murky people get fai

kennedy: president obama of face of democrat party for 8 years. you can hardly recognize him among current spate of 2020 dems, so has the left gone too far left? our party panel here, chris. the president -- former president is right about that. problem is there are so many on left, they get mad at you, you are then the enemy, they want to insulate themselves from you, but they are fed this hysteria by the current crop the candids run aring for president. >> barack obama is an alt-right sympathizing biggy on the, what sympathizing bigot. what he said there people have been canceled for saying, he is right. how insane things are. the political process has become so emotional, all sides everyone is justifieding their emotion there is no conversation about what is good or bad policy, it is just, does it make me feel good. kennedy: only people with policies have worse. lidliz and bern have ideas and they are awful, they will bankrupt the country, they can't answer for those, the rest from kamala harris to castro to o'rourke, they just feed into what p

is at the comey obama problem? what happened. >> it started before mueller. but then it escalated. >> using any power they could because they are the good guys and they have the white hat so they can do these things. they are the true elites protecting the country. the reason i say it began before mueller is because right after he was appointed fbi director around the time of 9/11, he gets hauled in front of the fisa court this secret chamber court and they confront him with evidence that the fbi had for years been presenting lies to the fisa court and warrant applications to spy. and mueller promised he would fix it and institute new rules and procedures. he actually did berkowitz called woods procedures. but the fbi continue to violate the woods procedures particularly in this particular case in the investigation of donald trump and the surveillance and spying on carter page. so it predates mueller but it continues under his leadership and then it really escalated under james comey. >> with my experience in the bush administration that is the first time jam

there's a legacy there from president obama that i think is possible, impossible to forget aboutin the current environment . i think under president bush, president obama and now congress has failed spectacularly to take on its responsibilities to address the increasingly damaging dysfunction in our immigration system. the immigration system is failing in my view to meet the labor needs of our country, to live up to the united states humanitarian and responsibilities and obligations, failing to achieve social imperative of uniting and preserving and strengthening immigrant families and congress has just been awol on this issue through several administrations so i think it's good to remember that and also i think in the absence of congressional actions may be something interesting for you, both president obama and president trump in a very aggressive way have been tempted to use executive power to tinker with the immigration system in the interest of creating more deportation . and generally this kind of executive tinkering, if that's the right word has led to a cascade of unintended co
