president barack obama speaking in just a few hours? >> rosemary, barack obama's appearance will be a reminder to the world, to each country, precisely what they promised to work towards when they signed the paris agreement in 2015. that is, to cut emissions deeply enough to ensure that average-global temperature increase doesn't go beyond 1.5 celsius by the end of the century. and crucially, at this halfway point into this conference, the needle hasn't moved enough. the commitments are still desperately insufficient in terms of that ultimate goal. so, at this halfway point as the conference begins its final stretch towards the deadline at the end of the week, it's not just about identifying gaps, but specifically which gaps can potentially be closed in the remaining days? because there are still many, and they are still wide. and i think there is no doubt that emissions cuts remains the most important issue because, as i say, countries simply have not committed to do enough in order to keep the goal on track. and not just in the long-t

barack obama was trying to say the u.s. is back. can you count on us and we're here with you to work together. also all while calling on others like china and russia who he called out for not even showing up at cop26. john? >> renee marsh, grateful for the live reporting. it will be fascinating in the days ahead to see what they take pen to paper and commit to. up next, the justice department hits back against international hackers in a major ransomware attack. what's strong with me? what's strong with me? what's strong with me? with me! with me! what's strong with me? with me! with me. when you're looking for answers, it's good to have help. because the right information, at the right time, may make all the difference. at humana, we know that's especially true when you're looking for a medicare supplement insurance plan. that's why we're offering "seven things every medicare supplement should have." it's yours, free! just for calling the number on your screen. and when you call, a knowledgeable licensed agent-producer can answer an

joe biden, when he was vice president of barack obama was standing arm in arm. there is a different relational aspect there. >> different vibe. >> very different vibe. is there a connection? are there two separate, i guess, wings of the white house, if you will, beyond the east wing and the west wing? is there the vice presidential wing versus the president's wing? yes, there is. when the issue of haiti came out, she made a ruckus about it. it wasn't taken seriously. she's also talked to people -- >> so some of this is real? >> some of this is real. she's also talked to activists who are out there about voting rights. the president doesn't want to deal with the issue of the filibuster right now. and every time i ask the question, you can see the consternation in the room from the press office. >> a former high-level harris aide told the white house they're consistently sending her out there on losing issues in the wrong situations for her skillset. have they done that a little bit here with kamala harris? i mean, putting her in charge of the border stuff is not

then barack obama gets re-elected easily two years later. this is the ebb and flow of american politics. i'm not saying it's great. i'm just saying, this is the defining feature of our time, just like, you know, for large chunks of the 19th century we had really, really crappy presidents. >> there are a couple of things. steve really kind of points them up for us. the first is understanding that, you know, 2016 is -- and '20 are presidential cycles. in between, you have the local races. so you have this national phenomena, where everybody is focused on a big name for president. then it becomes very local, which is what these governors races really reflect. and what this race in virginia says, and i think that, you know, youngkin put it right when he says, "i want to change the trajectory of the commonwealth," and he is going to focus on the local issues to help do that. he's not springing in national issues. that's what mcauliffe tried to do. he tried to tie youngkin and trump together. he tried to create this national synergy of, you know,

an architect of those winning strategies is david plouffe, barack obama's 2008 campaign manager, a former senior adviser in the white house, and someone who all democrats turn to for insight and counsel. so interesting to have you on the big night. >> election night 2021. >> 2021. >> there we go. >> let's start with that comparison. obama and mcauliffe were under water, as you experts like to say. but managed to win. could terry mcauliffe pull that off tonight or is it different? >> no, he could. i think the question here is, this is a -- 2013 was a tough environment for terry, too. but you know, we just can't compare this election night to a year ago. okay. i think a lot of americans, including virginia, thought we would be largely done with the pandemic. delta reared its head. the economy is growing, but not as quickly as we would like. gas prices, which i will tell you, when gas prices are this high before an election, voters are really cranky. other cost of living matters. terry is a repeat candidate. that doesn't work as well these days as it used to. a bunch of things that make the

president barack obama will be speaking. what all can we expect to come out of this day and of course this final week. >> reporter: rosemary, barack obama's appearance here is a reminder what they all signed up to when they clapped and cheered the paris agreement in 2015 which is limiting global temperature warming to an average 1.5 degrees. this is a reminder how desperately short they are falling in terms of living up to that intention, to that promise. the final week will be after a short stock taking period, a desperate sprint to the deadline to try and close the many wide gaps that exist across a range of issues, but emissions cuts and the shortages there remains the core issue. how to get them on a credible path to achieving what the science says is necessary. to refloekting the time frame, the very limited time frame the science points to as well. crucially there are still a number of countries that are not acting quickly in the short term because a number of countries have come in to this conference promising to hit

accusations, invented controveries like they did to barack obama's entire presidency. every secretary and relative and any person that has any association to the current administration will come under target. we've seen that anyone involved in trump world will not hesitate to abuse their power, use their office, use their leverage, use their authority to do whatever they want to trump's enemies to perceive things. they made enemy's list in the administration. they will advance, they will do everything they can to target and go after every single person they perceive to be a threat to them and really, what that means, a threat to them are people willing to stand up for democracy. people willing to defend democracy, defend checks and balances, respect our institutions, try to hold up the pillars that keep our society going. steve bannon has said all along that his intention is to act as a lennonest and tear down and destroy the structures of institutions in the establishment. he announced that in 2017. what we see happening with donald trump and the republican party and

president barack obama will also be in glasgow monday to deliver remarks at the summit. the speech will focus on progress that's been made since the 2015 paris agreement, which the u.s. signed onto under the obama administration. he's also scheduled to meet with young climate activists while in glasgow. now, one country that is taking action on climate change is the netherlands. long before heavy floods ravaged europe this summer, the netherlands took drastic action to reshape the land so people could live safely. cnn's phil black explains. >> reporter: germany's valley is striking and serene. soaring steep slopes covered with vineyards. we see the river flowing gently more like a stream. but everywhere, there is evidence of its unpredictable power. in july, the water here swelled suddenly. violently, swallowing homes and businesses in just a few hours. extreme rainfall devastated communities throughout this region of europe, killing more than 200 people. this video was taken from the top floor of a hotel and restaurant. >> here was the kitchen. the restaurant was there.

what did president barack obama have to said, what was his message in. >> so, it was an urgent message, kate, but i should mention that right now we're outside of yet another event with former president obama right now as we speak. he's speaking to young activists. earlier today, when you look at his arrival here at cop26 it's no coincidence that he arrived when he did. this week is filled with crucial critical intense climate negotiations among the nations here, and this is really seen as an all hands on deck type of approach bringing in the former president here really to repair the u.s.' credibility when it comes to climate change following four years of donald trump. now president obama focused a lot on the politics of climate change and urged people not just in the u.s. but worldwide to get past that and really get on board with aggressive climate action. take a listen. >> we need advanced economies like the u.s. and europe leading on this issue, but you know the facts. we also need china and india leading on this issue. we need russia leading on this issue, just as we need indone

the former president, barack obama, appeared at the u.n. climate conference in scotland. >> now, back in the united states, of course, some of our progress stalled when my successor decided to unilaterally pull out of the paris agreement in his first year in office. i wasn't real happy about that. so, despite four years of active hostility toward climate science coming from the very top of our federal government, the american people managed to still meet our original commitment under the paris agreement. and now, with president biden and his administration rejoining the agreement, the u.s. government is, once again, engaged and prepared to take a leadership role. >> all right. let's discuss with cnn senior political commentator, david axelrod. a former-obama senior adviser. david, thanks for joining us. how rare is it to see former-president barack obama on the world stage like this going after former-president trump and bolstering president biden's climate agenda? >> well, it is rare, wolf, and the president -- president obama made clear w

obama and hillary clinton. >> when barack obama and hillary clinton are not gini ginning up concern about future elections and saying if something isn't solved about a past election that people are not going to vote. we're not telling people not to vote. >> look, democrats are saying that the election laws in this country are unfair. how does that not -- how is that different? they're saying that oh, what florida and texas and georgia are doing are unfair. if you look at what republicans are doing, the goal is 100% participation and zero percent fraud. that's not what chuck schumer is saying on the floor. i watch it and have to propose on the stuff, a federal takeover of election laws. get rid of i.d., get rid of, allow balance lot harvesting and same-day registration. that creates fraud in the next election. that's what democrats are doing. >> that's a different thing, senator. they are questioning laws that will restrict the access to vote for many people. they are not questioning the integrity of elections. they are questioning vote access. donald trump is saying that elections -

we will win, though, with the barack obama script that barack obama strategy of addition rather than subtraction, which leads me to my second point which is that after losses with the democratic party does too often is says well, we have to choose between base mobilization and persuasion. any party that forces themselves to choose between the two is guaranteed to lose. we have got to center our message and our strategies around that, which is bold and unifying and we have got to take our messaging as well as most importantly, our policies to the majority of the american people, not just our base. >> debbie, so messaging is important. i think max rose's point is well taken about simplicity in terminology that republicans use versus terminology that democrats use and that can be fixed but underlying that, what about message? because this conversation between base and a broader audience is one that is active within the democratic party now. what should it represent itself as being in the next election in order to prevail? >> i don't think that there is any doubt, ali, that we the democr

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

you can see his wife alma there, former president barack obama, former first lady michelle obama, in attendance with president biden and first lady jill biden. many current and former high ranking military members as well. this service bringing together not just those former presidents and current president but multiple secretaries of state. what a testament to secretary powell's leadership. former president bush and his wife there as well, to share their stories about how much secretary powell meant to them including long time friend richard armitage, madeleine albright, and his son michael powell remembering his dad as a great lion who loved his family. michael calling on all of us to emulate secretary powell's character and example. as we see president biden there shaking hands with former president bush, former secretary of state hillary clinton as well, peter baker, helene cooper, jack jacobs, "washington post" columnist eugene robinson. 44 years you knew secretary powell. you like so many in this building, so many in this cathedral are remembering his life and legacy today. >>

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

he was a former deputy attorney general under president barack obama. wow. i mean good evening. okay, so, laura, this is -- you do this forever. you know what's up. what do they tell us about where we are in the legal system and with race in this country? >> well, we look at both of these trials, you have jurors being dismissed because the punch line of somebody shot in the back seven times is more important than somebody getting access to a fair trial and somebody being able to understand of humanity and another is you got a concerning effort according to the judge to try to have a jury that's comprised to people who are all white. there is not a guarantee that you get to have the specific racial composition of your jurors. the supreme court and prosecutors and defense attorneys across the country know that when you are trying to engage any behavior to try to curate a jury in a way. typically what you have here this does not sound like justice truly or the pursuit of justice. it feels like an opportunity to try to undermine it. >> you know, eliot, the juror in rittenhouse. tell

but if you look at the numbers now of how midterm elections work, on this day in 2009, barack obama was 53%. at 53% he still lost virginia and he still lost new jersey. earlier in the year he was at 42% and he lost the house of representatives. he is where obama was on midterm election day in 2009. he needs to turn that around or the democrats are looking at a trap door. >> something he has never been is toxic. there is not very many he wants to campaign with, but if that's the same, there will be democrats who want him in their district. joe biden went everywhere and president obama didn't travel around a lot. it's a referendum on you. so inside the white house right now, we may hear from the president later today, we may not. i'm told they're still deciding that, but he needs to try to corral this very divided party. it's not his fault, the blame goes all the way to pennsylvania avenue, but he is the party that owns it. >> it is so incredibly hard to turn those numbers around once they start cratering. we've seen that with every president. >> trapped in a narrow box to begin with. >>

it's not that long ago in the history of the states after barack obama had the big win in 2008, chris christie in 2009 in new jersey, made their mark. but, what you are looking at here and to the point earlier, you are just hearing, on at least i'm hearing from local folks in monmouth county that even at the township level will, some town council seats like seem to be going republican in sweeping fashion. so you are seeing something that's happening at the local level that you are also seeing narrowed at this gubernatorial level. you are right, john, to say murphy must be wondering how much of this is me and how much of it is out of my control? if you looked in the recent preelection polls, phil murphy's approval rating was far out performing joe biden's approval rating. joe biden was underwater in new jersey, but phil murphy was a brand of his own. that's what they thought going in to this election night. well, it doesn't look like democrats have individual brands right now the way that the vote totals are coming in. so, if indeed, and i know there's more vote to come. john, you said

this is a county back in 2012, mitt romney only lost to barack obama by about four points. fast forward, biden carries it by about 25 points. there has been massive movement. these are areas with racial diversity, asian americans and latino population as well. there is an abundance of white voters with college degrees especially in richmond, virginia. i think that's what powered biden winning by ten. >> steve kornacki allowing me to crash in on his sleep time. thank you for doing this and making time. >> i am happy to do this. we will see you tomorrow. >> we will lock at key races in the virginia governor's race, we have key races in a number of important u.s. cities. it is a more interesting off year election year than usual this year. now i am looking more forward to it than ever. >>> still ahead tonight, the supreme court heard oral arguments on a case it went way out of its way for. they have not moved this fast to hear a case since bush v gore. the arguments were live streamed, electric, at times infuriating. we have that story and expert help to figure it out, next. e

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

. >> 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

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

so during the barack obama presidency for example, the country actually went from demographically speaking being a majority white christian country, 54% white and christian in 2008 to being one that is no longer a majority white christian country. it's 44% white and christian today and that reality setting in has led to an i dentity criss where abcesent legal methods to rollback the clock, there is an anti democratic reach for other means when democratic processes have failed. >> there is something i read about called the last gasp of white supremacy and what you're talking about and i believe that to be so and the desperation as you call it. let put up robert's book again. robert p. jones, thank you very much. appreciate that. his book -- make sure we get it in there. it's called "white too long." the legacy of whit sup preliminary see and american christianity. thank you, sir. fascinating what you've found. >> thanks so much. >> you, too. >>> president biden apologizing on the world stage for take this, something the former president did. try vicks vapocool drops. in honey lemon chill. f

now, but listen to what former president barack obama has to say about protests and persuasion in the twitter verse and real world. >> protests are necessary to raise awareness. #campaigns can spread awareness. but to build the broad base collisions necessary for bold action, we have to persuade people who either currently document agree with us or are indifferent to the issue. we have to do a little more listening. we can't just yell at them or say they're ignorant. we can't just tweet at them. >> well, and that's where we are tonight. the climate crisis. the investigation of january 6th. we need to get the truth of all of it. so let's get to the bottom of the truth now. let's get right to january 6th, the committee issuing six in subpoenas that. i want to bring in john dean. the perfect to have on during this. thank you, john, good to see you. >> good to see you, don. >> we're talking about people reportedly in the oval office in the meetings working to overturn the election on various fronts. you know the stakes. your testimony in the watergate investigation toppled a president. wi

. >>> barack obama honored jay-z at the rock and roll hall of fame induction. obama said in part, quote, this, i've turned to jay-z's words at different points in my life. jay-z is one of the most renowned artists in history and an embodiment of the american dream, a dream he has helped make real for other young people like him. >>> with october in the rear view, the country's box offices are celebrated. october was the best month for the domestic box office since the pandemic started, grossing over $638 million. 78% was driven by major films including "venom," "no time to die," and "halloween kills." growing consumer confidence and returning to cinemas amid the pandemic led to october's gains. >> still ahead, one day before the city elects a new mayor, the deadline for workers to receive the vaccine leave as shortage of firefighters.

this is a virginia state that voted for barack obama twice? >> this crt stuff, i keep beating the drum, it lands badly with me. some of it is dog whistle. >> some of it was dog whistle racism. >> stupid wokeness. some of these people need to go to awoke detox center or something. >> so which is it? you see him, a distinguished professor at vanderbilt university. you should know, viewers, his new book is "entertaining race," a michael eric dyson book. always a reason to talk to you. you heard the sound there. which is it, sir? >> the call to be awake is an offense to them. on the other hand, those with critical race theory deployed as a kind of cud joel to beat down on the heads of those who are enlightened. i think woke is a term of derision and pejorative term. bless james carville's heart, he says these people need to go to awoke detox. my friend, far more ancient is a history of white supremacy, social injustice, even in progressive circles or liberal circles for the indictment that captures all of us. it's not just a right-left thing, a bl

this is the approach that rocketed barack obama to the white house, forced to confront race obama offered americans a vision, mobilized a broad, diverse coalition, while also persuading white voters. what are some of the specific ways you think democrats can do that? >> the reason we point to president obama is that lots of democrats think they can ignore racially coded republican attacks when they run for office. i think m virginia terry mcauliffe thought he could ignore them and was surprised when republicans made critical race theory an issue. president obama of course knew from the very beginning he was unable to ignore race and would have to address it. he incorporated it into his message from the very beginning in his 2004 convention speech which rocketed him to national prominence in the first place. and really in much of his message m 2008 he gave an entire speech focused on race in the middle of the campaign which is not something that any other presidential candidate in recent memory has done. specifically i think this is about what we refer to as what is called the race class t

obama. i have to slide that in there. you need to have some levity. >> i have to ask you before you go, a, would you ever go back in government? and what do you think about the state of politics across the country? >> so, obviously, it's rough when you turn on the tv 5r7bd read articles and talk to your crazy uncle at thanksgiving. i know i will. i don't know first and foremost, i'm lucky fans are willing to let me into their homes again. people that watch our show. they're involved in their own communities. one of the things that i remain hope. about having worked in the white house is the opportunity that we have to really make a difference and i know that sound hokie. but the stuff that i worked on wasn't sexy enough to be on came i cable news. it wasn't vitriolic enough to be on twitter. the types of people i was meeting were people that cared about their communities. when they made their voices heard, they may have gotten 100% than they wanted. rediscovering that is something i am tryin

her brother-in-law was a high-ranking official in the justice department in barack obama's second term. so these are people who she knows, knows what they're talking by but we sort of got used to it in the trump days of family members being involved. but to have family members having any kind of a role other than a spouse is an unusual thing. >> okay, all right, isaac, thank you very much. appreciate the reporting. i want to bring in cnn's senior political analyst and host of "firing line" margaret hoover. margaret, is all of this finger-pointing to be expected, considering the shaky poll numbers for the white house right now? >> i think that's one way to see it. the other way to see it is this john adams. he had that famous quote about the vice presidency where he said it was the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived. the vice presidency is for a go-getter, somebody who's eager to jump into the fray and for somebody who is new to washington, which is unusual for kamala harris. i went back and looked at this, with the least amou

but throughout the process, we were focused on one thing, and that was barack obama's polling numbers. his magic number for us was 46. we felt if he was at or below that, we'd take back the house, and ultimately right before the elections he was at 45 and we had a big election night. it's easy to focus on all the other things. think of how many conversations we've had on critical race theory in the past month or so. it all comes down to what the president's approval rating is, whether he's going to lift votes or sink votes, and democrats are either going to sink or swim based on what joe biden's approval ratings are. >> staying in virginia and focusing on the lesson there, one thing glen youngkin, the republican, now governor-elect, also did is keep donald trump at an arm's distance. maggie haberman is reporting that trump delivered a clear message at a republican congressional campaign dinner last night saying that youngkin would have lost without his support, saying that maga support is the only way to win. with that in mind, i want to play for you what a youngkin campaign adviser s

obama or george bush or joe biden or donald trump. it happens to be true that in making the determination, the sitting president can take into account the claims and arguments of a prior president. that's just prudential. but the sitting president is the one who basically decides. and it's not to say that there is not some decent claim that could be made in some future claim by a former president. maybe president biden, if he is a former president will make some claim of privilege going forward and a future president will take account of that. that didn't happen here, and that's what decides the matter for the purposes of the this case. >> yeah, it's perfect. it belongs to the office and not the individual. again, she says privilege exists for the benefit of the republic, and it is not tied to any one individual. the president is now just an individual. he is not the former president. he is not the president of the united states. here is my question. because he is appealing this, the former president, what are the chances that he i th

people were thinking barack obama every single day. i think this policy will help the same way. i think what's important though, is not just president biden coming out and discussing the bill today and also making sure as he said in his speech that democrats go out and that they promote this and that they talk about it and that whatever ends up coming forward for the build back better act that they promote what's in that bill and not what's out of it, this is a step in the right direction and this is what president biden ran on all along and he has to make sure he sells these things and sells them for what they're going to do and not the process that we had to go through to get here and that might end up being something successful for him that he can head into the new year instead of being six feet under in the polls. >> i want to bring you in, congressman, because you saw what happened this week. republicans overwhelmingly stuck with the party. what's in this infrastructure bill? this will impact the republican voter base, as well. i don't know that republican voters always pri

you know, michael flynn is somebody who should have never been national security adviser, barack obama warned donald trump famously, don't hire michael flynn. and yet he brought him into the mix. if donald trump becomes president again, what is to stop a mike flynn from becoming defense secretary. it is going to be a whole lot easier for a secretary of defense michael flynn to order people to seize ballot boxes if he's in charge of the pentagon. one of the things i, you know, experienced, brianna, covering the trump administration, there were people, you know, various levels of the federal government, who are willing to sort of put the brakes on the crazies inside the trump administration, and fortunately that's what we saw in this episode. there were people in the flynn episode according to carl's book who are basically saying, no, to michael flynn. people who are going over to the justice department and saying we need to go back and recount these ballots in various states. there are people at the justice department saying, no, so, i mean, thankfully we did have people at various leve

in 2009, barack obama voted not to invoke executive privilege from george w. bush. it has been the current guy, the current guy. joe biden has been making that same argument in court. one thing so important to remember, however, even if donald trump can somehow invoke executive privilege, that is not going to be the end of it. they will have to do a balancing act like they did in the richard nixon case. what is the need for the documents to come out and how important is it they remain secret. . >> even if he's not successful, it takes time. which may be the point here. walk us through what is next and how long in total this could take >> yeah. we're in front of the district court now. now, the judge has an interesting history here. she has gotten several of the january 6th cases relating to the criminal cases against rioters. and she's made interesting statements about the way she views what happened on january 6th. she said in one case, quote, a violent mob seeking to overthrow the lawfully elected deposit and a very real danger to our democracy. that shows judge c

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

the tea party was out there hanging barack obama, president obama and having "n" word signs and just blatant racism calling him a monkey and evening else and next thing you knew, tea party people are all over congress. they're members of congress. they're part of the main stream of the republican party. the tea party movement was the old version. they're totally main stream. do you believe that at some point -- i mean, there are half a dozen that have been elected. the future of the party essentially is the insurgents, the insurrectionists. they will become the main leadership of the party at some point, right? >> that's certainly the direction we're seeing. there is no room for anyone that stands for anything that has told the truth or actual policy like what happened to the republicans this week that voted in favor of the -- >> death threats. >> look what happened to them. look at the death threats and look at their own members. their own members of the party elected officials releasing their personal information but they know it's going to lead to threats. they know it's going to

barack obama when he was president his last year, illegal crossings were at a 50-year low. just stop and think about that for a second. illegal crossings were at a 50-year low. and in the obama/biden administration, they skyrocketed under donald trump. they are continuing to skyrocket now. obviously joe biden needs to figure out exactly what worked when he and barack obama were in the white house before and duplicate that. >> there's that, but as they celebrate the bipartisan infrastructure bill today, i would also suggest that they look at the many different crises facing this administration and think about like a supply chain czar. there's a couple different things american consumers and this is what -- this is what's going to impact the way they vote. that are impacting them right now. they can celebrate a bipartisan infrastructure bill about what's coming. that's great. but what's happening right now? like, massive shortages in supply chain issues and that's going to stay with us for months and months. >> mika, the 60 minutes piece last night on the supply chain, crisis

he finished less than five points behind barack obama in this county. along comes donald trump, and all of a sudden republicans are losing this county by 25 points. so we see the exit poll here. it's hinting that, hey, it's possible youngkin made some inroads here on education. if he did, though, what we want to see is louden county is one of the places you're going to see it. is he eroding the biden over trump 25-point margin? i think everyone agrees it's going to come down from 25. the question is how much he was able to erode it? is it still in the mid-teens. the high teens for terry mcauliffe. that wouldn't be enough for glenn youngkin. is he knocks it down to ten points, 12 points, now he's getting it into range. is he getting it to single digits? that would be incredible news for the youngkin campaign. when we talk about this issue of education, it was aimed at places like louden county. its are going to be fairfax next door, down in the richmond area, chesterfield county, a lot of suburban areas, some of the swing areas, too, virginia beach we'll

i lived through 2010 where you know, nancy pelosi and barack obama and leader reid put together legislation that literally saved the country from economic disaster. from teetering on the edge. and then the same democrats got trounced in the midterms. >> some people say you're scarred by it. >> i am very scared by it and having nightmares. i see the same thing happening here in the future, but i do like that quite frankly that this biden white house is out front and trying to turn the government into good politics going into the midterm because they have to. >> there has been trauma there. michelle, take a listen to what cornell alluded to. knowing the lessons, and really putting out a big argument here. here's the president. >> we're taking monumental steps forward to bidding back better for this nation. my mission for the people in new hampshire is simple. it's this. because of this delegation, new hampshire and america are moving again. your life is going to clang for the better and that's literal. >> michelle. >> i think they're going to have to keep doing those kind of events. maybe not
