nobody could believe when barack obama was elected the first time and reelected and a president would be elected no matter what your politics at a minimum manipulated the tropes of white supremacy in order to gain an attempt to maintain his support. i mentioned this to joe once. i first realized the backlash against having a black family in the white house when i was filming a previous series at the jim crow museum at ferris state university. obama had been in the white house a couple years and already and that museum, they had a space dedicated to racist images of barack obama and i am not talking just with big lips or standard tropes of black inferiority, but really nasty, the scene images, live with one of the things i study is the image, it is good or bad and numerically the bad images outnumber the good. the caricatures to see briefly in the video clip which proliferated in the 1890s. where lithography becomes cheap in 1890. it was invented in the nineteenth century and very expensive. who better for photography than black people, black skin, white eyes, it was made for. the imag

he's held rallies with president joe biden, barack obama. and for youngkin, the close of this race has been focused on virginia with no surrogates. he's not invited top-name surrogates. donald trump has not come. a number of top office holders have not come. it's all about youngkin in the close of his campaign. take a listen to what they said to voters yesterday. >> we only have a few daysing to. i cannot tell you how critical the election is. the stakes could not be any more clear. on one side, think what we have over there, conspiracy theorists, we've got anti-vaxxers and donald trump all on one side. >> there is something really special going on across this commonwealth of virginia, we can all feel it, and, friends, it is happening right now. >> reporter: so, this is honestly the most important day of these final days of campaigning. this is the day that early voting here in virginia ends. this is the first gubernatorial election where virginians have a chance for no excuse early voting. that is huge in the campaign. over 1 million virgin

now democrats are using barack obama for a look backwards. candidates nearing elections are calling upon the former president instead of the current one. >> nothing more to add but getting president obama to come into new jersey is a big deal. more details on that and anyone else who might be coming in for us. >> prominent lawmakers get it. pillars are all stuck in congress. >> democrats make promises. we need to deliver. >> the white house claims not to be sweating progressive pressure like from virginia's mcauliffe and urging democrats to change rules to passion infrastructure which jen psaki said is self-serving. >> mcauliffe has an election coming up. his timeline may be pressed by that. the president would lake to move forward. >> 2018 mid-term circle the most popular surrogate was biden. 2021 democrats are keeping their. >> nancy: for a little bit. >> harris: democrats sending in heavy hitters to boost mcauliffe including barack obama and former georgia candidate for governor stase stacey abrams and the atlanta mayor. ont the list presi

a perspective that is far more time than donald trump, barack obama or george w. bush allowed themselves by this point in office. joe biden is not in washington very much and you've got to ask yourself, why is that? before you reach the obvious conclusion, he prefers the pudding at camp david, they have tapioca there, consider another explanation. it's possible there is a legitimate public health justification for keeping joe biden away from major american population centers. it's possible joe biden's aides understand that biden is too dangerous to be in washington. he could infect millions. consider the tape we played a few days ago of biden sauntering mask list through a crowded restaurant in washington. there he is on film, his gaping mall completely uncovered, spewing hot corona breath, panting like an insane phone call or on innocent passersby. diners were trapped in his path, they had no choice but to inhale clouds of joe biden's personal aerosol mist. would you like some biden saliva with your entree tonight? no thanks, we are getting a heaping dollop anywa

he endorsed democratic candidate barack obama for president. that was two weeks before the election in 2008, and some people say that the election might as well have just ended then. if republicans needed permission to cross the aisle and vote for this democrat, barack obama, nobody could provide a more powerful permission slip than colin powell did two weeks before that election. his political impact was profound, and it was complex. of course, in the first sentence of every obituary of general powell today, along with all of the firsts, and there were many of them, there is also the apex tragedy of his time in public life. his 76-minute-long speech in 1973 to the united nations in which he made a long, detailed, fairly impassioned and profoundly false case to the world that the united states needed to invade iraq and urgently. >> every statement i make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. these are not assertions. we're giving you facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence. >> i remember listening to that live when it happened

although he cleared up that obama was not a muslim. but then he talks about in that same appearance how a mother going to grieve her son who died in the field of battle. and over his grave, she weeps and it was a muslim young man who gave his life for the united states on the field of battle. and that he was a teenager when 9/11 happened and that he waited until he was of the age to volunteer for the armed forces of the united states of america and lost his life for our country as a muslim american. and i think that that was such an important clairgs of what it is that america is and who we are. david, what about his impact on national security? >> well, colin powell was a superb national security manager, as national security adviser, he came in to a reagan administration that had been badly shaken by the iran contra scandal. the white house at the time of national security policy was really disorganized, struggling. and colin powell came in and made it work right. made it an orderly place, put it back together. those last couple of y

we talk about brock obama, donald trump, i mean they, to brock obama was sort of a legislator, but he mostly was a, a guy and ambitious politician. donald trump, a business man, you know, look, job i and as a senator, what have canister happened. he went to a senate hideaway camp david, and that's what senators do. if you're sen, no one can tell you. look, jo mansion is living this a cinema. kristen cinemas living this. no one can tell you what to do, how to vote, where to show who to talk to nothing and joe biden just is doing whatever he wants . and he's failing at it. afghanistan's a disaster, the borders of disaster. yesterday we have an excuse me not yesterday, late. earlier this week, we have a document put out a national gender strategy. look, it may, that may please some people in the, in the ivory tower and the activist camp. but the reality is the american people are looking up and they're saying we've got inflation, gas prices up. the border is, you know, a porous, we've got a drug problem. people are dying from fennel and joe biden is incapable of being in charge. i'm not

i listened -- and obama appointee -- an obama appointee. i listened to kavanaugh, a trump appointment. the cameras, i don't think -- their words are what they mean. so i don't think the cameras are going to influence me one way or another, if you are pragmatic in your thoughts and you listen to these people. you're going to make a sound judgment call and hopefully you are not just looking at the screen and saying this is this guys face and i am mad about it. i think it all goes back to everybody has got to calm down. everybody get off of facebook, get off of these social media websites, and start talking to each other and listening to each other. host: thanks for the call, and think for calling in -- and thanks for calling and. once a month is what we ask viewers to limit themselves to, a 30 day window between your phone calls. you can call once a month every month, i would want to hear your opinions. adam one of those folks who is one of those regulars who call in. about five more minutes of taking your phone calls, continuing to get your

based on obama and trump all wantingto and endless wars . but they solve some of the same people and in a way trump had made their lives bigger, their worlds bigger, their lives richer. they started staying at each other's houses on the road, splitting hotel rooms. one woman met another man and they wentto hong kong for a day . they went to march in protest of the extradition laws there that trump had opposed. waving a trump flag and fly home. the story of 20/20 i think is for them, their misled along the way whether it's covid or election processes or fox news. and what ends up happening is the rules have gotten smaller and smaller by the end of the year when fox calls the election correctly and there's no one across the country and trump claims fraud a lot of these people turned off fox news which had been the backgroundnoise of their lives for years was gone . and they get their news from smaller and smaller number of sources. and some of the people kind of maybe start to question it alittle bit . this movement met a fatal and on the camp

>> i couldn't agree more with president obama. i've said this to our caucus. i see this legislation as about more than the important components of it, but also showing that democracy works. that autocrats both here at home and around the world are arguing that this process doesn't work. you don't have to go through all that. put your faith in me and i alone can fix it. we have one of our home grown dangers here to deal with, and part of this legislation is showing that we can govern, that all those folks who came out in a pandemic and voted with their face masks on, some of them wearing full body armor to stay safe, that it was worth it, and that we'll deliver and that democracy works. >> can you take me inside the chamber right now? ten months after january 6th. obviously i'm up there all the time with you. it doesn't seem like there's any discussion or cooperation on the house side between republicans and democrats. are those relationships getting better or is this the kind of thing that's -- you're going to have to have the january 6th commission do the wor

he boosted national politicians like clinton, kerry and obama. but he found a way to make a bigger impact. plow it into local politics. his money went towards defund the police movement. austin, texas defunded the police and murder exploded 74%. there is a proposition in austin to get the money back. but or owes donated half a million to fight the proposition to keep austin p.d. defunded. orosis buying local prosecutors all over the country. texas d.a. jose garza got elected and he allows aer. to get out who then went on to murder people. another dismissed 800 cases against black lives matter cases. or owes' pacs have given a lot to kimberly gardner. she slapped the mccloskey's with felony charges for protecting their home from that dangerous mob. he propped up kim foxx's campaign, the woman who dropped charges against smollett. or owes spends lavishly to empty jails. he invested a quarter billion into racial justice organizations. his open so side foundation funds groups who push critical race theory big time. if you get in the way of the or owe

and president obama is right. there is a large group of currently serving members of the republican party, including those in leadership, who do not believe the conspiracy, do not believe the election was stolen, and do not believe donald trump, but what they know is the fragile coalition that is today's republican party, the only coalition capable of possibly getting the 50% to 51% requires fully accommodating that conspiracy wing that trump wing of the party. otherwise, the gop fractures and the democrats have a majority for decades to come. >> you know, dan balls of the washington post has this new article out today and it characterizes the governor's race of virginia as a test to the fear of trump factor as a political motivator. writing, the mcauliffe/youngkin race can answer some of the questions about the state of the electorate and forces that will shape the race next year. that begins with donald trump as a motivator for republicans and especially for democrats and how that affects who votes and who does

president obama is up after him. i'm told, according to a source close to the former president, that he intends to tell voters here this is a tight race, that they should not take anything for granted, there is a chance this will come down to the wire. polling shows that with a neck and neck race between mcauliffe and youngkin. and obama is also intending to tell voters the reason they came out and supported him in 2008 and 2012, the same things are on the ballot in this election. democrats are worried that their base, their voter base is not as engaged, enthused about this election as they were as the elections over the last decade in virginia, especially the last election when trump was on the ballot. that is a concern among democrats and mcauliffe, speaking behind me, is leaning on top democrats to come out and try and boost that engagement. that is not what you're seeing on the republican side where youngkin has not leaned on trump. trump has not come to the state to rally for youngkin. there's a real reason for

some of these folks had voted for obama before they voted for trump, you know based on, you know, obama and trump both wanting to end endless wars and a little bit of the policy left there but they started going to rallies and saw some of the same people and in a way trump had made -- had made their lives bigger, richer, and they started staying at each other's houses on the road and splitting hotel rooms, one woman met another man and they went to hong kong for a day. they flew from michigan to hong kong for a day to march in protest of the extradition laws that trump had said we had opposed and, you know, story of 2020, i think, is for them, you know, they're misled right along the way, whether it's, you know, covid or election processes or fox news and -- and what ends up happening that the worlds have gotten smaller and smaller by the end of the year when fox called the election correctly in arizona and across the country and trump claims fraud. a lot of the people turned off fox news which was the background music, background noise of their lives for years was gone and they get the

it is a pretty big deal, president obama out on the campaign trail. how about the voters and those who plan to answer the those rallies? are they excited. >> alex, they are. former president obama knows just how close this race is, 46-46, according to the latest monmouth poll. he says he is doing everything in his power to help get the election of terry mcauliffe here as the next governor of west virginia. it is not just him. we have seen vice president kamala harris. we are seeing president joe biden coming tuesday to northern virginia to campaign for terry mcauliffe. on the republican side you are not seeing this as much. he is starting a 50-stop bus tour. glen junk kin is going the make 50 stops. but you are not going the see national republican figures as you are on the democratic side. here in richmond, people are excited. voters are exited. they are exited to see of course terry mcauliffe, and really excited to see barack obama. here's what one woman had to tell me about his presence at today's event. >> whenever i hear him speak i get so inspir

host: you mentioned former president obama. he is back on the campaign trail today and that closely watched gubernatorial race in virginia. we are going to be talking more about that race. barack obama, the former president, campaigning for terry mcauliffe, the former governor who is trying to run for that same office again in virginia. you cannot run for reelection as governor, you have one term and then you have to leave the governor's office. terry mcauliffe has done that and is trying to become governor again. more on that in a little bit. until then, your phone calls. james in venice, florida. good morning. democrat. caller: good morning. host: go ahead, sir. caller: oh, good. thank you. i'm shocked. i've been washing for so long, i set, i've got to get on that thing. in venice, florida, we have benatar lucy -- notoriously brought up in the news for two things. there was a chiropractor here in town who was handing out covid excuses. i kid you not, parents were in line for a couple of blocks getting these things. they final

he krolsz endorsed president obama and president obama was immensely critical of the iraq war. i think general powell, his decision to do that and you're absolutely right, joy, it's the moment that he did it. he had a certain level of credibility. he had a certain level of authority that he was willing to hand off to this u.s. senator who was vying to be the next president of the united states and again, as he said because he is the person who has the judgment to lead this country in a very crucial moment. it was an incredible important moment. i think president obama said it in his remembrance today that general powell helped make him president obama. >> indeed. >> that has not been lost today. >> indeed. it might have been the most important endorsement president obama got by somebody who himself could have been president of the united states. wes moore, thank you for sharing this sad but important day for us. sadly, because nothing is sacred, powell's death is weaponized by covid deniers. he died of complications related to covid-19. powell was immune compromised because of

so, i thought it was kind of classic obama. he looked like he was really enjoying himself. but i also think it was important for him to be able to deliver a message to the voters in virginia that their votes matter. and that they have to show up. and that's been needed on the campaign trail, and i think that it comes at exactly the right moment for democrats and for terry mcauliffe. >> so, the congresswoman makes a really good point here, david jolly, and that is kind of this idea that the former president as well as terry mcauliffe has been doing for quite some time, and glenn youngkin, at that. that this is definitely seeming like more of a national election than a virginia gubernatorial election. and we heard that front and center today. there is a risk to that, and i want to speak first about the risk to the democrats, and i feel like it's more of a risk to the democrats than it is to the republicans because they're the ones in power in washington right now, right? it's this idea that if, in fact, they lose in virginia, then it will be seen as a referendum on the curren

what did that mean to now former president obama? >> well, i remember the exact same thing, nicole, where i was sitting at my kitchen table. i did not breathe either. when i finally took a breath, it was breath of relief not just that he said he was going to vote for president obama as a leader, the kinds of person that colin powell believed our country needed at that moment in time. it is consistent with his life. he was a barrier breaker. he was a role model. he was a straight shooter. i always say that he put country first, above politics, i think that's what he was doing at that moment. as you know, nicole, as well as anyone, it was seismic for someone with that stature inside the republican party to endorse a person of the other party at that moment in time. it did send shock waves around the country. i do think it made a difference. my heart goes out to alma and the fire powell family. she shared him with our country in a very gracious way. i'm sure there were many moments when she wishes as all spouses of leaders wish their hu

it's a bow to political reality but risks a progressive revolt, and full drama obama. democrats are worried about the virginia governor's race and the former president answers the call to help, but we begin in texas today with the political confrontation that has a giant public health impact. new executive order from governor greg abbott bans any and all businesses in the state from mandating the covid vaccine. republican governor says this. the covid-19 vaccine is safe, effective and our best defense against the virus, but should remain voluntary and never forced. this is a full about-face for governor abbott. weeks ago he said government should not tell private business what to do, but important but he's up for re-election next yore and he's thinking about a national run in 2024. this new order now puts him in sync with the anti-mandate right and put him in direct conflict with president biden. cnn's ed lavandera kicks us off from dallas. ed, a big move by the governor. >> reporter: indeed, and he's once again taking it from both sides here as democrats accusing him

his name is barack obama. what he had to say about the republican party that's coming up. >>> and the fate of the jailed businessman is the latest flash point between turkey and its nato allies. we are live in istanbul with the latest. ♪ ♪ >>> mourners paid tribute saturday to the crew member who was accidentally shot to death by actor alec baldwin. these are images from a memorial in albuquerque, new mexico, honoring helena hutchins. she was killed thursday when baldwin unknowingly fired a live round from what was supposed to be a prop gun. cnn's lucy cavanaugh was there at the vigil. she spoke to people mourning hutchins, and has new details now on that crucial time line leading up to her death. >> reporter: the people have gathered here in downtown albuquerque to mourn the passing of helena hutchins, just 42 years old, a rising star in the film industry whose life was cut so tragically short. a lot of the people here are part of the industry. this vigil, in fact, was organized by the union representing

the other thing is that, you know, under president obama, it was a one-way street. the united states gave a series of concessions, recognized the cuban regime, created an embassy, let travel flow, and all it did is provide dollars to the regime, but it didn't create one iota of change inside of cuba. there were still cuban prisoners. there were still no political dissent allowed. there were no free speeches allowed. so i think president biden has looked at that and said, "wait a minute. we have to recalibrate here." >> let me ask you something, senator. as the senior hispanic member of congress, election data shows th president trump made significant in-roads with hispanic voters in the 2020 election, despite four years of vitriolic rhetoric directed at immigrants, and the data suggests that trump's appeal seems to have worked with hispanic-americans who have fled socialism and with hispanic-american voters on the border. so, what does the democratic party need to do to win the confidence of hispanic voters back? >> well, margaret, first of all, it still received --

and obama was at least appealing. and obama had, had sort of the aura of competence around him. what we've got with joe biden is like something i don't think we've ever seen in the white house since the invention of electricity. i mean, guy, this -- the level of incompetence that is displayed every day by this guy as he's asking congress to pass a $5.5 trillion spending plan because he's going to remake the country? i think the people are waking up and saying absolutely no thanks. and i think the first canaries in the coal mine are those democrat house members and democrats across the country. and if you talk privately with them right now, they're terrified of what they see out of washington right now, and they're terrified of all the stuff -- as you just went through,s being anti-parent and anti-cop and anti-job, anti-work, anti-military, anti-everything. this is nuts. larry: all that just doesn't strike me as being a good political place to be. and the interesting thing is how little self-awareness they have in the white house. mercedes, besides being against work, they are in

obama makes it bigger. this isn't about quite frankly, you know, just terry versus republican there. this is about a bigger picture, what is going on and so what you saw, by the way, barack obama is the most popular national political figure in the country regardless of cause of party. barack obama makes this about something larger and by the way, joy, it's kind of how biden and v.p. harris closed out the california recall election. they talked about bigger issues women's rights and voting rights and all these bigger issues and democrats are trying to make this about bigger things and republicans and and used to try to get back, back and energizing young voters this is about something bigger and issues that quite frankly they went into the streets and marched about going into the 2020 election. >> well, how about trump? look, the reality is that no republican has shown they can resist doing trump's bidding giving any republican power seems so dangerous this will be a huge prize for republicans. he would be

and well, i do think that obama and biden have expressed verbally. i want to fix this, as opposed to donald trump saying, you know, not wanting to fix it. let me say that president bush, at the end of his presidency, there were things he wanted to. one of them was he wanted to close one tunnel which was outside the law outside of norms and which relied on many of the subtle tools. and he was very clear that he released more than 500 individuals on panama. and he publicly said that he would like to seek one time a post. so it's not a blanket, you know, good, bad, or indifferent. but my issue is the transformation of the presidency. and i think everybody who, who has that office should be mindful of what these tools are and, and it's very hard to give up. power is particularly when some of them are secret, particularly when there's a precedent for using them, or whether or not it's been better to the courts or congress. and so, you know, my issue is the culture of governance and not, and i'm, yes, i would like to think that president biden will be able

does president obama's appearance show how important this race is to democrats? >> reporter: hey, lindsey, i think it does. we were talking to sources close to president obama, and he knows just how close this race is. 46 to 46. you're seeing not just president obama here on the ground in virginia this week, we're seeing stacey abrams and jimmy harrison, the former dnc chair and you're also seeing vice president kamala harris was here earlier this week and president joe biden will be on the ground in northern virginia later this week on tuesday. so you're seeing all the democrats come out in support of their friend terry mcauliffe but you're not seeing that on the republican side. glenn youngkin, the republican candidate, tied with terry mcauliffe right now. you're not seeing the national candidates coming into the state like you are on the democratic side but it's important to remember all politics are local. what's happening at the white house, what josh lederman was talking about last hour, what's in the bill, what's not in the bill. where the bill and the sta

he endorsed barack obama in 2008. >> correct. the thing to remember about colin powell he was very much a centrist, whether in the republican party or when he left the republican party in the end because of donald trump. when he endorsed barack obama, i'm not sure it was a difficult decision for him, because he saw it as a moment and i talked to him afterwards, there wasn't a question in his mind that he would endorse barack obama. i think that the other thing to keep in mind is that i always wondered when barack obama won, how colin powell felt about it, because so many people thought that he might be the first african-american president, john. i want to on a personal note add one thing. the last interview i did with him, which was about former president bush 41, we usually saw colin powell as we calm, even. in that interview, he actually broke down and cried when he talked about bush 41, and about what that group was like, the top officials working together but they had a special relationship because he had worked with former p

then senator obama said quote, we are one american family. there is not a black america and await america, a latino america and an asian america, there is the united states of america. we are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes. can you imagine any prominent democrat making that statement today? i can't. democrats have given up on america as a colorblind society. they see america's flaws as more profound minute strengths. they denied the massive progress we have made and may punish anyone who disagrees. they are quick to praise those who attack america and eager to attack those who praise america. democrats have abandoned barack obama's unifying message on race and national identity. republicans cannot make this a mistake. that message was our message first. we must once again to get to the american people. we are fighting for our society where people are judged by actions, not color. where determination is ended, not embraced. where censorship is rejected and free speech is protected. we want a country that che

they lost them under obama and obama got elected and that was great. trump uses the same formula. he wins and we have a problem. the problem is facebook, using the iranian and chinese user to attack people they are opposed to. at some point we have to look at the 230 protections. todd: here is zuckerberg's response, the idea that we prioritize profit over safety and well-being, that is not true. particularly focused on the work with kids. is important everything we build is safe and good for kids. zuckerberg had multiple warnings before, not the first time we have had a segment like this. is there anything else congress needs to do. instead of talking about it? >> parents need to get involved in talks with congressman about it because if you go to a high school football game or a college football game the young people are dressed like hookers, where the parents and they are dressing like that because they have been driven to a site on facebook somewhere some advertising for clothing or modeling or global rising the hollywood set and that is what kids think is the norm now and it i

just a few hours ago, former president obama was out on the campaign trail with you. here he's talking about your opponent. take a listen. >> you can't run ads telling me you're a regular old hoops-playing, dish-washing, fleece-wearing guy, but quietly cultivate support from those who seek to tear down our democracy. either he actually believes in the same conspiracy theories that resulted in a mob, or he doesn't believe it, but he's willing to go along with it to say or do anything to get elected. and maybe that's worse. >> what does it mean to you to have him campaigning for you in this race and then president biden coming next week for you? >> i'm so appreciative. dr. jill biden was in, stacey abrams was in. she'll be back tomorrow with an event with dave matthews. i think the most important thing you heard from president obama today was, i know people are tired, but you know what? the stakes are too great. we have come too far. and you think of the people who have come before us. they were tired, but they never gave up. and everything is on the line for us here in

obama is a muslim. the correct answer is he is not a muslim. he's a christian he's always been a christian. the really right answer is what if there is? is there something wrong with being a muslim in this country? the answer is no. is there something wrong with some 7-year-old muslim kid believing that he or she can be president. i have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion he's a muslim and he might be associated with terrorists. this is not the way we should be doing it in america. >> so nichole and jon, that was a profound part of his being. the son of jamaican immigrants, raised in the bronx. living through jim crow south, unable to be served publicly when he went off base at fort benning when he was an infantry soldier training for vietnam or going to the south to visit his sweetheart alma powell in birmingham, alabama, that is a lot of who he was including some of his final interviews with me about george floyd. i'm going to have to leave it there for now, but i keep thinking about his wife alma and the children and gr

president obama will speak very

obama won richmond, this city, with 80% of the vote in 2008 and 2012. and that really speaks to what this event is about. it's about turnout. i can tell you talking to voters here, there's a lot of folks who have already voted for mcauliffe. they're decided that they're going to vote for him on november 2nd. there's not much persuasion going on here, they're here to see president obama and to get boost democratic turnout in this election. that is something democrats have been worried about. thrive been worried that folks who voted for obama in 2008t an '12 and the last decade iran as motivated in this race to turn out and support mcauliffe as they are in these national races. and that is what we expect obama to make the case on is just -- just about an hour. we expect him to argue that the same things that brought voters out to vote for him in those presidential elections, for biden in 2020, are on the ballot. he's going to acknowledge as we're told that this race is tight, and that is exactly why he's here. he wants to make sure that mcauliffe is elect

so, look, obama prejudged three different investigations. the media yawns at that but they get really excited when the republicans do it. just play by the same rules media. that's all i'm asking. >> bret: harold? >> so i think some of the -- i think what my friend and congressman was suggesting maybe privilege can and when can privilege be exercised? look, i think there was misspeak by the president. i was glad they cleared it up. and what i was most proud of was that the justice department through the spokesperson there mr. coley made clear the justice department will make this decision independent of the white house. that's the real news here. >> bret: the other news, kimberly the former president is suing the house committee for the -- how they are going after these documents as part of a january 6th commission. >> yeah, so we'll see whether or not these subpoenas, if they do end up getting prosecuted how they are handled in court. but, you know, bret, i have to say i think one of the real problems here, too where this comes in addition t

under president obama. and white murphy, veteran republican strategist, co-director for the center of political future of the university of southern california. both are also cohosts, and i don't think we've had this before, of the hacks on tech podcast, which we hardly recommend, gentlemen, thank you very much for coming, on mike murphy, the site of chuck grassley, at the trump rally, i think we have a little bit of that. will play in discuss on the other side. >> i was born at night, not last night. so if i did not accept the endorsement of a person that as 91% of the republican voters in iowa, i wouldn't be too smart. i'm smart enough to accept that endorsement. >> mike, even people who once respected chuck grassley, looked at that scene as a something disgraceful, as an 88-year-old supplement, who wants another senate term, that will expire when he is 94 years old, mike, what is it's a, when a guy like that, is willing to sell his soul to the man standing behind him? law >> well it says what we just saw

. >> harris: the two men obama and biden are so different. not just the polling numbers at this point in the presidency but obama was someone was still rising popularity the last time we checked. biden with sinking popularity and why you aren't surprised. as someone who is falling coming to help you they probably won't be able to help much. >> he won the state by 10 points. the democrats don't understand what's happening with the most basic group of people, american parents. >> harris: they look at the polling and i see it in some of their social media, too. they look at the polling as something that is otherly, right? a lot of times the president will say they aren't showing me those numbers. watch it when he is asked about polling. that's fascinating. quickly i just want to get your take now on what happens if it isn't a republican win in new jersey or virginia? have things shifted enough to have an impact? and look, i don't know about virginia right now because it has flipped so much there may not be time for mccauliffe to come back. he wa
