barack obama's memoir sold over 3 million copies in the first month. christie is not looking at obama numbers or looking at a million or half a million or 100,000. the results are in and this book moved about some saying it's kin to not publishing a book at all. it looks like the publisher won't even break even. the book is a money loser and has some in the party thinking christie or mr. 2 k looks like a loser of a potential candidate. his media tour featured him meanwhile trying to claim independence but also defending maga figures like trump and tucker carlson. >> the book is called it's about conspiracies and lies and you really don't take on fox news. why not? >> look, because the book -- >> tucker carlson -- >> because the book -- i don't watch it. >> are you aware of what he does? >> not really. i don't pay a lot of attention to it. >> christie says he doesn't pay a lot of attention to fox news. well, the news tonight is republicans and most americans are paying zero attention to chris christie. we'll be right back with one more thing. we'll be r

we started losing votes during the tea party revolution right after barack obama was elected and we have not been able to regain our footing since then. when i was unable to get reelected in 2018, just one statistic for your viewers, when i was elected in 2012, probably about 20% of republicans would cross over and vote for a democrat. when i ran into any 18, that number -- when i ran in 2018, that number dribbled -- that number dwindled to 4%. when that number gets low, democrats cannot get elected in a state like mine. it is important rural america not be one party america. we started the one country project. it was to reintroduce the democratic party to rural america and rural america to the democratic party. host: do think over the course of the years the policies of the democratic party have fallen out of favor with rural americans, or rural americans themselves have changed their views? guest: i think it is the emphasis. it is not the policy. the economic policies of the democratic already are much more favorable to rural america. where we get into challenges is when this becomes a

obama at the time, that donald trump would be inheriting as his covert actions on inauguration day. michael flynn got that brief from the cia along with vice president pence becoack on decer 7th of 2020. trump didn't. it wasn't until several weeks into his administration that trump got briefed on all of the covert actions that he was now responsible for. it was quite a revelation. >> you mean when flynn was briefed in 2016? is that what you meant, to be clear? >> yes, 2016, not 2020. >> i wanted to be -- >> 2020, michael flynn was in a different circumstance. >> that would have been a headline. so he actually didn't get -- trump didn't get a briefing in the last month of the presidency. >> that's how it appears. it's a little bit dodge y, the way it is written. it is almost as if it didn't want to be said that bluntly. but before donald trump left for mar-a-lago for the holidays, which was somewhere around december 23rd, 2020, that he had his last briefing with his regular pdb briefer, and said, "i'll see you later." she wasn't planning on going down to mar-a-lago and briefing him d

obama and i were like hiding out, cooked all this up and then got south africa -- it's nuts. >> nobody believes just one conspiracy theory. you got to collect them all. >> what's so damaging about this, too, beyond the multiple falsehoods in that one tweet is that he does have the title of doctor. doctors, nurses, medical professionals are broadly, widely regarded as they are trusted by the public. there's a reason why earlier this year or some time last year republicans -- the republican doctors caucus did kind of a psa add encouraging people to get vaccinated because the public trusts doctors. when you have that additional title on top of elected official, on much to politician, it's egregious for him to be spreading these conspiracy theories. >> beyond obviously the falsehoods in that tweet, what it seems he's trying to do here are sort of hone in on two things. one, you know, voter fraud which we know not to be true. in 2020. but what we're seeing from republicans as they think this motivates the base. we're seeing him sort of go after that. and then also there's clearly an exhaust

the last time the average barrel of oil was more than $100 was from 2010 - 2015 barack obama was in office and his vice president now current president joe biden. david: thank you very much. meanwhile president by did expected to speak later today on strengthening the nation supply chain retail watcher is here on what we learn from shoppers on black friday. it was interesting black friday. first of all happy thanksgiving and happy holidays. we saw a 48% increase in foot traffic at retail stores compared to this time last year. it still 28% lower than it was in 2019. but that's a huge increase in foot traffic. >> is a huge increase. were comparing this to a year where none of us were really shopping last year. i said this a couple of days ago. my family we didn't even give gifts, i barely left the apartment last year. the 48% is pretty significant but compared to the last year where people were really out, this is 2019. it is actually down which signifies one thing, people have gone online more and also they started shopping earlier. i was looking at statistics from oracle and they said 30%

joe biden used to tell barack obama all of the time in 2009 and 2010. it is the difference between compared to the almighty and the alternative. so those were words from vice president biden and i think you'll make that turn. obviously there is a lot of government business that has to get done in the next four, six, eight weeks, once you get into the state of union particularly, you're going to see a sharper, more contrasting president biden. >> we'll be watching. robert, heidi, jake and ali, thank you so much. we're going to leave it there. any minute now, market sets to open after having their worst day since last october. what you need to know as wall street reacts to this new covid variant. their only friend? the open road. i have friends. [ chuckles ] well, he may have friends, but he rides alone. that's jeremy, right there! we're literally riding together. he gets touchy when you talk about his lack of friends. can you help me out here? no matter why you ride, progressive has you covered with protection starting at $79 a year. well, we're new frie

. >> why are you so convinced he's not going to run when it seems as if one could argue barack obama, humiliating him at that kpous correspondent's dinner in 2011 motivated him to run. you think humiliation is the reason he may not want to run and lose again. we've seen him use that as a motivator before. >> yes. this should become a documentary and called "the greatest grift in u.s. history." donald trump has made it very clear that he is grifting off of the american people, these supporters, these individuals that are just sending money to him at record levels. so one of the biggest problems for donald trump is he makes a statement that i'm thinking about it, i'm thinking about it. that's only to keep the grift growing and to keep the grift going. it's really amazing that people don't see exactly what the guy is doing. i talk about his sociopathy. i talk about this on my podcast maya culpa ad nauseam. please understand, chuck, and this is really important for all of my viewers as well. one of the things that donald trump has done is grift off the big lie that the election was stolen

she pulls for barack obama and hillary clinton. work with corporations, nonprofits, advocacy groups, and trade associations. today's conversation will be moderated by iop advisor, the deputy editorial page editor for the washington post. she recently released a book on the first lady, nancy reagan. join me in welcoming today's speakers. cs karen: thank you so much adam. after hearing your experience, i am thinking we should invite you to pull a chair on stage. i am so excited to be here tonight. thank you for coming out. this place is so special to me. of course, as a political reporter there is nothing you enjoy more than talking to people doing it and really at the top of their game. that is why we are doubly lucky tonight. and, the timing of this event was sheer perfection. >> for some people. karen:[laughter] so, we are looking ahead tonight but we cannot look ahead without looking back a week. i think that, as election day was rolling around, it was possible to anticipate what was going to happen in virginia. if either of you

obama's desk as i could. that's what we are going do with the build back better when we send it after it comes back from the senate to joe biden's desk. whether it is closing the gap, paid leave, funding home health care -- florida has the highest percentage of elderly in the country. making sure people can remain in their homes, in the place they are most comfortable, cared for by loved ones, that's out of reach for most elderly. making sure that provision remains in the bill, which i am confident it will, is essential and republicans again are going to do absolutely nothing to help us. >> can i just get, while i have you, your comments in reaction to lauren boneert's islamophobic comments to ilhan omar, the fallout from all of that, and what needs to happen in order to hold her accountable? >> lauren boneert is an absolutely revolting human being. i just cannot believe that those words could come out of her mouth. but that's actually what's sitting in her heart. you know, apparently, she made up the whole s

trump did more than 50 in the same time and barack obama or than 100. now, we get to the papers real gripe about biden, he's not set for interviews with the associated press, "new york times", reuters, washington post, "wall street journal" or "usa today", how day-- how dare he. biden doesn't stir things up on his twitter feed and the conventional wisdom is that his aides don't want the boss wandering off script or making mistakes. whether that is true or not his low-key approach , you know what dealing with the press is part of the job. i'm howard kurtz and this is "media buzz". ♪♪ howard: ahead, kyle rittenhouse rips the media's sickening coverage of his trial we will talk to brian kiilmeade about that and abc jonathan karl on his interview with trump about the last year of his presidency. and the media complains about jen psaki says president biden takes more questions than his recent predecessor, just not and press conferences and hear some of the brief exchanges he has had with reporters or not in the last couple of weeks >> us mean that all th

i would keep my word and make sure i carried out my duties like barack obama done. i am a little disappointed with kamala harris and joe biden but i think it is a whole lot better than what it was in the beginning. they inherited a total mess. we are still having problems down here in florida, major problems in florida. the first law should be a law against lying and every politician should be in jail for lying. host: appreciate your comments. our open question is about the vice president's performance. on twitter, before vice president harris was assigned to the crisis of the southern border republican leaders were there daily for photo ops. that is all stopping, proving she has fixed it. i give vice president harris a high rating. this one says, she would have to do a job to receive a grade. she was given one year to come up with a solution for the southern border and has failed miserably. she received an unexcused absence for the year. this headline says, why are kamala harris' approval ratings lower than biden's? they ranked vice president favorability and job a

. >> afro liberalism coming to you on a silver platter, barack hussein obama! >> the rise of the tea party movement was supposed to be a response to obamacare. but in reality, it was mostly a response to obama's race. >> obama's election was a trigger. >> this president i think has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep-seated hatred for white people. >> the base began not only to hate obama -- >> what is wrong with this president? >> -- but to despise gop leaders from being unable to stop him. they soured on the bushes, on john mccain, on mitt romney. searching instead for someone who would embody their rage and finally give them their revolution. >> oh, we're gonna win. we're gonna win so big. thank you very much, everybody. way for you to sell your car. whether it's a year old or a few years old. we wanna buy your car. so go to carvana and enter your license plate answer a few questions. and our techno wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a real offer in seconds. when you're ready, we'll come to you, pay you on the

obama -esque figure waiting to burst onto the scene and save the party it seems hard to see and with all the speculation and all the media focus on the republican side of the party in charge right now, it's leaderless essentially and this may be the high point for all we know because as the clock ticks as we are almost into december there's no legislative accomplishments to point to and if we go into another discussion and hyperbolic situation about covid and the latest variant it will sidetrack things further. joe biden's presidency is at the mercy of the pandemic and unfortunately that's not a position any politician should put themselves in, but it's the bar he said when he said he would quote crushed about-- a virus when he was running last year. pete: absolutely. he speculated with bernie sanders whose 80 and representative alexandria ocasio-cortez , she's barely 24 and then you threw names out there, hillary clinton and john kerry, i mean, do you really think they would go backwards in 2024 or the name everyone is talking about right now is secretary pete buttigieg. >> right an

yeah i didn't say that wrong and this from former barack obama who warned how can administration loaded with savvy political handle got then critical issue so wrong they can't say they weren't warned we worry that shoveling unprecedented am of spendings on road to recovery would need to lead to too much money -- chasing too few goods. despite everything you're paying more for it joe biden is bizarrely taken a victory lap. >> what's your message to american folks on this thanks give thanksgiving day? >> my message is after two years you're back america is back there's nothing we're untiebl overcome. >> folks inflation is not a joke this is real. devaluing your harold earned money. it doesn't matter what the suits in washington say at the end of the day it is you. you -- flipping the bill for it joining me now for rebuttal is democratic strategist, thanks for joining me. we appreciate it. >> nice to see you, dan. >> so why is inflation the worst that's been in 30 years and what's joe biden doing about it? and why isn't it working whatever he is doing about it? >> i don't have to tell you

that's going to be the new talking point on the left and if he gets the fact that barack obama may have been the first black president but he will be the most progressive president and he wants to cement that. i don't think it's alarmist to suggest that at his age he is probably a one term president. and i think he recognizes that and anybody with eyes and ears and a pulse gets that. he's going to do as much as he can as quickly as he can. >> the impact of this will be profound. >> absolutely. i think one of the things that i like to say is you have to understand what i call the big y? why are they doing all ofthis ? the thing is it in isolation you can explain one or two things and say it's because of this or that. and it's not. they all tied together. everything is about maintaining permanent political power . if you have power and its permanent then you can continue to pass your policies in that item. what do you need to do? one is you need to maintain power in those key areas so you pack the court, too, you make dc a state in puerto rico a state so you get potentially forpermanent d

. >> jimmy carter and barack obama. not ronald reagan and not donald trump after abraham accords. >> and even though mccarthy has said that green and gosar will be serving on committees -- >> they'll have committees. the committee assignment they have now, they may have other committee assignments. they may have better committee assignments. >> green questions whether he will become house speaker. >> we know that kevin mccarthy has a problem in our conference. he doesn't have the full support to be speaker. right now from the people i've talked to, he is -- he doesn't have the votes right now. i think that there's a door open for a challenger. >> green who appears to be on her way to becoming chair of a comitting in a new gop house has tweeted about boebert's remarks saying, never apologize to islamic sympathizers. the lesson learned for green and the rest of the freak show caucus, appeasement and interpreted as weakness. loyalty only flows in one direction. not the republican leader, more like the dear leader which mea

barack obama won the state yes but state is generally speaking but republican state, including two wins for donald trump. already we have seen some impact from this map drawing. gk butterfield who will is a democratic member of congress said he's not running again because hi district went from safely democratic to a toss up. wo we'll see what other decisions get made there. two states to look at. two big ones. one is florida. this is state that republicans control all the mechanisms of redistricting. we expect them to sure up the gains they made in south florida in the 2020 election. make those districts a little more solid. maybe go after seat like charlie crist. he's running for governor in the 13th district. val demmings is run for the senate. then there's california. california is the largest delegation in the country. the largest state by population in the country and has not been all that competitive. they have an independent redistricting commission. no politicians at all. they are not supposed to look at incumbency as a factor in drawing lines. why is that important? you draw th

if barack obama comes out publicly and says there's no such thing as critical race theory. we're not teaching it, you know you are over the target. you know you are right on it that is proof to me of that. and i will tell you, i'm really encouraged by parents and by the way we will have a panel of moms who have been on the forefront of exposing crt. i am encouraged by parents at the school boards but i also think there is two things that we need to focus on besides just crt. we need to focus on school choice. every child and parent should have a right to go to whichever school they want so there could be a marketplace for ideas and values in schools. and, two, while it's great we are looking at schools, don't forget about the most powerful place that crt is being taught. it's on your child's phone big tech is peddling this as well. you have much less control over what your kids with l. see and how it's tucked into virtually every message they get. pete: watch a little bit of nickelodeon or disney which i'm forced to do on occasion and i do like sponge bob. it's not in spong

obama being born in kenya, there are sources of information that are now readily available to anyone that will confirm their pre-existing notions or worldview, depending on what the subject or debate of the day is. i think you can draw a straight line from what was just described with the historical analog of the post-civil war time today, where you knew when the hours after the attack on the capital on january 6, you knew that that history was going to be rewritten in real time and that it wasn't going to be long before people who were in that building that day, taking cover, putting gas masks over their faces, fleeing for their lives into a bunker that was secured by capitol police, those very people would, within days if not weeks, begin reshaping and re-crafting the story of what actually took place that day to suit their own political ends. so it's not a new routine that were seeing here. i think perhaps what is new is the degree to which that misinformation and those outright lies can be easily disseminated straight into the veins of the american public. yamiche: that is comple

obama. obama is in glasgow for cop-26, and in a speech yesterday, he referred to scotland as "the emerald isles," which is actually the nickname for then obama topped his gaffe with a dollop of oops: >> since we're in the emerald isles here, let me quote the bard, william shakespeare. >> stephen: so he called scotland ireland, and then quoted an englishman. at least we don't need to check his birth certificate, because that is the most american move ever. ( laughter ) ( applause ) the scots-- thank you. the scots were a little upset obama quoted shakespeare instead of scotland's bard, robert burns. yes, why didn't he pick robert burns? burns' words just roll off the tongue: ( with scottish accent ) "o, wad some power the giftie gie us to see oursels as others see us! it wad frae monie a blunder free us, an' foolish notion." pretty sure-- ( applause ) pretty sure that's about carbon climate change. meanwhile, stateside, in congress, they're still focused on who tried to kill everyone in congr

but it was a big enough deal that it is something the newly-elected president, barack obama, reflected on publicly when he trotted out on inauguration night, on that big night, to what was then called the youth ball, to share how he knew that and what it meant for the future. so on this journey tonight, thinking about this set of generations and the youth, he gets the last word. >> young people everywhere are in the process of imagining something different than what has come before. [ cheers and applause ] where they imagine bigotry, they imagine togetherness. where there is disease, they imagine a public health system. i can't tell you how many people have come up to michelle and myself and said, you know, i was kind of skeptical, but then my daughter, she wouldn't budge. she just told me, i needed to vote for obama. and so a new generation inspired previous generations. and that's how change happens in america. [ cheers and applause ] >>> coming up next we are joined by a global music sensation. his name is lil baby. his music is popular among all generations around the world. he's a

obama was in office and his vice president was joe biden. i want you to listen to something from vet-- president donald trump speaking on this network about oil in his administration. >> we were bigger than saudi arabia or russia we were energy independent and within a year i would have been bigger than saudi arabia and russia combined and now, we are going back to them and opec and we are begging for oil. >> representative carter, do you believe oil and gas prices are driving inflation or is this an commendation to the other factors pushing inflation? >> no question about it. it's the primary driving force that we see right now in inflation. gas is up 61%, petroleum up 61%. president trump is right. it's more than just nonsense, it's dangerous, not what the strategic petroleum reserve was meant for. it was meant for an emergency, not for joe biden to try to correct his economic policy that's so bad that it's driving up the price of oil. his policies, his roar on fossil fuel, this is his policy, a biting created crisis and that's not what th

trump, when 100 for barack obama in the same period, according to west wing record keepers. if the pulpit is one of the most powerful tools of communication, mr. biden needs to rely on exchanges and taking only a few questions boarding helicopter. he does not have interviews with others, even friendly venues have gone unvisited. the story adding it as rose garden strategy in fun rosie times as his approval ratings have sagged and his party confronts the tough outlook. some democrats have asked if the president has yielded too much control of the public narrative. that is from the new york times this morning. if you want to see that story. there is more if you want to look at it. baltimore maryland, on the line for others, hello. caller: real american citizen here. what the other fellow was trying to tell you about the ruling class or something, the ruling class is basically you folks and the politicians, mainly the democrats. that includes joe biden in the white house. look at all the criminal activity amongst the democrat politicians. it is overwhelming. they spent at least

flag down a young senator named barack obama to get to even open the airport. god's truth. remember that, chris? here, he'd just been there two years. he was on my foreign relations committee. i was chairman. i said, "can you get the airport open for us?" i used to, i'd kid barack. i couldn't understand why he so soundly defeated me in that primary. and then i realized when he'd be introduced, he'd be introduced by the voice of god. i get introduced by johnny scanafrana. so, it took a while for me to figure all this out. luckily, chris, i got to travel on a much nicer plane these days. [applause] and it's yours to travel on any time you would like. i want to thank a few more proud connecticut leaders who have been spending time with me today. governor lamont, you have been, you're one of the finest governors in the country. i'm not being solicitous, that's a fact. [applause] exceeded only by your wife. [laughter] and senator blumenthal, who i mentioned earlier today, i apologize for repeating this, but my son, beau biden, is the one who should be standing here talking to yo

obviously when barack obama was the face of it, it went into overdrive and you began to see this sort of massive peeling away of majority white for things like action on climate change, which used to be not thatat political, partisan or racialized. i think now what you're i seein in terms of the sort of red state white resistance to vaccination is more the core -- as george would put it in his book,as the don't trail on me freedom from government is inherently suspect. which has been a thread in our society for a long time but did not capture the sort of visceral kind of identity fused caption it does now until government became thern one who could take away youred freedom to do whater you needed to do to feel better than the undeserving. >> in other words, there was no massive resistance to the polio vaccine. >> iyeah, i mean, at one level the vaccine story -- so, george, you talk about these sort of four american narratives and the way -- they're not the causal predicate, for balkanizing the country. there aree stories these different groups tell themselve to be. on the flip side of

obama but here we are in november of 2021, thanksgiving and we have joe biden. joe biden is showing president obama up big time. he is even more out of touch. he is even more unsuccessful. >> julie: as americans get together for thanksgiving the left want to push their woke agenda. i hate that word but so common these days. check out the headlines. usa today. what is thanksgiving to indigenous people, a day of mourning? tribune with this. pilgrims brought racist genocide and gave nothing. guidance on decolonizing thanksgiving. the "wall street journal" claiming the left wants to cancel -- why did liberals have to rain on every parade, what is wrong with liberals? >> i would disagree with you on that. i think it's creating negative thoughts about the liberals. >> julie: you think it's positive when we've been celebrating thanksgiving all these year. i don't remember politization of thanksgiving when i was growing up. this is something the new hyper woke if you will are inventing. >> well, i would disagree with you on that. i don't see anyone speaking out from the

nantucket seems to be a common theme here with joe biden and barack obama. but, right at the heart of when they are trying to put this mask mandate on every single american. then you have got the president happy birthday, mr. president. hope you have fun. but everybody should be able to have that kind of party. not just the elites. carley: i know. that was the whole thing. great that you are having this birthday party. imthink that everybody should be allowed to have one. but when you are telling other people to mask up and not hang out with each other and then you have this giant party that was supposed to be like hundreds and hundreds of people it was the hypocrisy of 2021 that seeing. also, number 4, i forgot about this one as well. i'm glad you brought it up. the white house posted a tweet and i think it was fourth of july. it says the cost of a 4th of july cookout in 2021 is down 16 cents from last year. shouldn't be touting 1 cents. i don't know. >> america, i hope you invested that 16 cents because you probably gobbled that up in gas prices just pulli

he forgets barack obama may have been the first black president but he will be the most progressive president i don't think that it's alarmist to suggest that at his age he is probably a one term president, and i think he recognizes that and i think anybody with eyes and ears and a pulse gets that,y so he's going to do as much as he can and as quickly as he can. >> the impact of this will be profound. >> absolutely. one of the things i like to say isnd you have to understand why are they doing all of this and the thing is in the isolation you can explain one or two things it's because of this or that, but it's not. they all tie together. everything is about maintaining permanent political power. so think about this because if you have power and it's permanent then you can continue past the policies so what do you need to do? two things, you need to maintain power so you pass the court, to, you make puerto rico a state and get potentially for democratic senators. the district devotes 95-5. it's like a given. guarantees you would never lose the super majority and then you need new voters so you

in short, barack obama, you campaign in 2008 against hillary clinton and the primary and the notorious militaries john cain and the general election, one of the main reasons why his campaign cut such fire was this notion he represented something different than t bipartisan war party. what ended up happening, obama comes into power, let's the cia off the hook, let's donald rumsfeld another torture architects off the hook, a radically expend some of the worst aspects of the so-called war on terror and uses his credibility aa constitutional law scholar, the first black president, as a sort of guy perceived as being a different kind of politician to push the u.s. imperial agenda on a militarist level beyond what john mccain would have done because he got the democratic party to support it. juan: jeremy, i want to ask you, are there any discernible differences you can tell in the approaches to this imperial policy of the united states between the recent democratic presidents -- talking about clinton, obama, biden -- and the republican ones, bush and trump? you see anything in terms of -- ar

was at chauvin coolidge, joe biden or barack obama? >> i would have to go with hazing. kennedy: no, unfortunately that is incorrect. you should have known this one four it was chauvin coolidge. >> what? i named my son after the rapper, cap the president. kennedy: i don't believe your, for a second. you might want to press your luck on this, which of these presidents has two grammys? l clinton, jim carter, barackk obama or mariah carey? you want to press your luck? >> i know mariah has more than two. [laughter] who has two grammys? kennedy: you want to press your luck? >> what the heck, i'll give up the car and press my luck. i'm going to say bill clinton. kennedy: she's got four. gary, you and other you have one. even if you get this right, you're still only halfway home. which of these presidents regularly consulted with an astrologer before making the decision? harry s truman, john quincy adams, ronald reagan or ms. m cleo? >> i will have to go with john quincy adams. kennedy: you'd be wrong. ronald reagan. allpr conferences, most of the state of the union dresses tak

s. president to tap into the reserve. barack obama did the same in 2011 to offset disruptions in supply because of the war in libya. our white house correspondent, kimberly hall, hood explains why the move hasn't been welcomed by everyone. what the criticism has been, is that this might resolve the issue in the short term and lead to some, in the immediate future, lower gas prices. but ultimately, because the issue of supply and demand globally has not been resolved, that this will drive the prices up. so what you heard there is the president not only saying, look at this is a global problem, but the fact that he's also saying that this will work out in the end one point to know. and all of this is that with regard to the release of these reserves, the president isn't just releasing it all over night. in fact, there's going to be one person down in the 1st 3 months and then another portion in the coming months. and this he believes is going to allow for this kind of staggered approach that will ensure as the supply catches up to the demand as a result of people turning the economy back

obama, his vice president, david, joe biden. david: don't forget that. edward lawrence, thank you very much. the key may not be how much oil we consume. the key is really how much produce and how much we could produce if we were going full bore. larry kudlow, host of "kudlow" saying this is why we need energy independence listen. >> if you correctly finger inadequate oil supplies, you have to come home to america, let our great companies large and small produce, right? we need more supplies, right? how about america first? drill, drill, drill. remember that. not "spro," "spro," "spro" but drill, drill, drill. now there is a big difference. mr. biden your policies taxing fossil fuels, overregulating fossil fuels, bad-mouthing fossil fuels, denying credit to fossil fuels, appointing a banking commissioner who wants to bankrupt fossil fuels, you will do anything you can to stop the production of fossil fuels and yet you say the problem is inadequate production. get it, folks? make sense? of course not. not even remotely. no anwr, n

barack obama was elected twice. while barack obama was in office, democrats lost, i believe, 1,000 legislative seats nationwide. the consequences of that for the party have been devastating. so if you're sitting out there and you want to get engaged, you want to make a difference, don't just look to congress. this is whether you're a republican or democrat, whoever you are. look to the state legislatures. by the way, the state legislatures, this is so important, we're talking about the big lie. we're talking about january 6th. do you know why that festered? because we were still counting wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, and georgia weeks later. now, leading up to the election, we said on this show time and again, and others said, those legislatures, in order to stop any questions about the legitimacy of the election, should do what the state of florida does. yes, ron desantis, governor of the state of florida, and past governors have done, and that is count all of the early votes before the polls close on election

obama got elected it felt like a historic moment because it. was i am a little, bit i'm gonna take a step back for politics. this feels different, why? and what do you see as the antidote. >> i think it feels different because it is not the people who are stepping back out of the sense of relief, right? i think the people who are pulling back to progressives are really very engaged. but i think plenty of people find this so poisonous that in order to preserve their own sanity the sort of have to take a step. back the total political involvement that was the aim of getting trump out of office. got people threw themselves into for four years isn't sustainable. and so i think in order for people to get involved once again, there needs to be people in the party who say that, if you fight for this, democracy can be saved. and in order to do that you need to have some sort of path to voting reform legislation. you need to have some sort of path for democracy legislation. >> yes i think that's very well said. i'll be here, and i denied out, bad feelin

barack obama and michelle get ready to depart washington and get on marine-1. did you speak to them since then? >> well, not much. initiately right after i took office i did. one or two times. i spoke to them before taking office. that's a ritual. it was 15 minutes and it ended up being quite a bit long tore put it mildy.e it was an interesting conversation. he told me about north korea and the problems and that was the greatest problem we and i to it a large extent solved it. we got along great with north korea after the rough first patch but then they understood we were not playing games and we got along great. not very much.e >> sean: you once told me that you thought we were on a path towards war with north korea? >> i did and so did president obama and that would have been a nuclear war. we met in singapore and in vietnam. we had great meetings and we established a great relationship. i liked him and he liked me. we had some interesting conversations. >> sean: we got back the remains of our soldiers. >> we did. >> sean: i was at both summits. he stopped th

if you think about positive male figures, you know, i think barack obama is a great male role model. he's a responsible husband, responsible father. he studied hard. he works hard. he plays sports. he's athletic. he does all those things. they would never bring him up. there are other great examples in popular culture of positive nontoxic males. chadwick boseman's "black panther" character. those are movies that made millions of dollars. our society is not in shortage of nontoxic male figures. that's not what josh hawley is putting forward. they're putting forward donald trump who stands for everything they claim they don't stand for. >> right. i'm running out of time. liz, the idea that masculinity not unlike the best version of americanism is something that would be forged together, it's something that you explore in your book. what do you mean by mindful masculinity? >> it's important to have compassion in this conversation. there are a lot of men who are suffering in this country, but our inability to see men as vulnerability clouds us. i'll leave you with one data point. we're s

i think barack knew who farrakhan was, and buried by reverend wright, does that mean that barack obama is an anti-semite? does that mean joe biden is a klansman? of course it doesn't, but that's the analogy and it's bogus. i have never seen anybody look so different than what they are portrayed on in the media. i was impressed, he looked like a guy you could have over for thanksgiving dinner, who would you rather have babysit your children? him or roosevelt? i think he wants kyle rittenhouse there, moving from demonizing politicians to demonizing regular people, now they go after the nick sandmann, they go after -- they go after parents for speaking out in the american people have seen that, they are repulsed by it and i hope hunter really did hold ten for the big guy, because joe might have to pony up some dough. >> brian: i saw the jonathan turley came on this afternoon, and set as a public figure, whoopi goldberg and people like the present and are immune to this type of lawsuit. >> jessica: jonathan turley is a better lawyer than i am, i.e. he is a lawyer. my thoughts on this, i th
