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

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

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

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

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

talk to me about the importance of hearing barack obama speak today at cop26. so the atmosphere in the room was definitely something that hadn't been seen in the last week of this climate summit. amid technical negotiations over which the future of the planet hangs in their hands, amid all these negotiations, it was the first kind of celebrity moment that struck. a nerve he turned up on stage to applause. what he said was that while they need to get their act together, they need to step up their action in terms of fighting climate change, but he also gave a personal take on his views of citizens and and this pungency, and whether ere was hope -- cynicism and this policy, and weather there was hope. to highlight this, he talked about some successes in the conference such as the pdge to cut emissions and stop deforestation, while also adtting there is a long way to go, that we are nowhe where we should be in terms of actually cutting emissions, stop burning fossil fuels and keep the temperature under control. brent: we note that this conference is now halfway thr

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

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

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

remember, barack obama was the first democrat to win virginia in 2008 since lbj. and since then, democrats have been on a serious winning streak. but youngkin keeping the distance from donald trump, biden being under water in the state, they have eroded in some places and youngkin was able to say look, i'm a businessman, i'm not a professional idealogue like some of these, and it's a big momentum shift. >> i'm going to walk over here and talk to these folks. so you heard what john avolon had to say about this. bakari, how much of this is terry mcauliffe's own fault, that he ran a bad campaign? >> as someone who has run a statewide race, i can tell you that hindsight is always 20/20. >> we're not just saying that now, though. people have been saying -- >> in a nationalized race and nationalized environment, you can't escape the drag that washington democrats have been on terry mcauliffe. and yes, i'm beating on them, and rightfully so. you can talk about the american recovery act and shots in arms, talk about the things that joe biden has done with the courts. all

the response to, that was quick and harsh, barack obama is ignoring, covering up rape that took place in loudoun county school system, obama makes this statement, now a judge found this kid guilty of rape. but obama comes in they don't care about the rape victim, they don't care about the education to children or about concerns of the parents. how to we know? terry mccauliffe said throughout the race. that this radical racist ideology is a racist dog whistle, his opponent glenn youngkin is usin to divide the people, a racist dog whistle, now the parents and the rest of us have been watching over last year and a half. when there was virtual education, and we saw what the kids were taught. in people are making millions writing books that are used in classrooms and software that are used in the classrooms, here we have virginia department of education promoting a book, that says teachers must embrace theories such as critical race theory. despite the m fact that terry mccauliffe said we don't do that in virginia. they provide resources for -- equity initiatives with a tab titled what we'

obama, will be here, the former vice president al gore, is here. the u.s. in contrast to the trump administration is playing an extremely high, very public role in underscoring how critically important this issue is right now. as you know, the trump administration withdrew from the paris climate accords, and when they had these kinds of cop summits earlier during the trump administration, the u.s. had relatively a low-level profile. they didn't even talk much about the critical importance of dealing with climate change. that has changed dramatically right now. we'll see if the house and senate get together and pass the legislation on climate that the president wants, because that will be significant as well. >> bill, as we look at all of this, it comes back to yet again incredibly important issues facing not just the united states but the world that has been politicized over a number of years. this is not new. coming into this, is there a sense that things are starting to change? is there a sense that warnings, like we just heard from the u.n. secr

bush to barack obama to donald trump to biden. this is a country that is all over the place. what does this country want? it is very divide, and i think you see that in virginia where you see backlack, right? this was a state that just went ten points for biden and now they are like, you know, they are bad what's happening in the schools. they are mad that their lives haven't changed and you see this opposition, and you see enthusiasm for youngkin. >> you also see, lastly, a republican candidate who has somehow managed. >> 100%. >> somehow managed to hold trump at arm's length. do not come to virginia. i do not want you here and yet trump has repeatedly told him he's a nice guy and repeatedly told trump voters to go out and vote for him. i can't remember someone who has pushed him away and still gives him a hug. >> the big question for reap dance is this a road map that other republicans can snol two big differences, glenn youngkin is worth $440 million. he can self-fund if donald trump wants to block and back an opponent and virginia is different than many other states. very

democrats lost seats in the house the year after barack obama passed the affordable care act in 2009. what the president needs for his short term political interest is an improvement in the conditions americans are worried about, primarily covid and inflation. but this does lay down some important achievements that probably will be unfolding in a way that will be useful for him if he's running for re-election in 2024. >> what's likely to happen next with joe biden's build back better proposal? how are its prospects looking, and when will americans find out how it actually impacts their lives because at the moment when they're being polled, they don't see that it's going to make their lives any better. >> exactly. you know, the democrats are in a situation very similar to the problem they faced in 2009 and 2010 when they were kind of caught in the legislative vietnam of trying to pass the affordable care act, which ultimately became very popular, but at the time, americans did not see it directly connected to their concerns about the recovery from the financial crash of 2008. i think t

obama was re-elected, democrats went on to a bloodbath in the midterm elections in 2014. so it does not always portend things. but a loss here from mcauliffe would send democrats into something of a tailspin and a ton of finger-pointing about that divided democratic party in washington. that, of course, has been haenging over this entire race. the grid lock in congress and between the white house. but president biden speaking just a short time ago in glasgow, wolf, as you know, he indicated optimism. he believes that terry mcalulife is going to win tonight. >> he predicted it. he said it flatly. we'll be getting back to you. stand by. >>> it's election night in america. tune in to see who wins the high stakes virginia governors race. plus the battle in new jersey, new york city. our special live coverage starts at 6:00 p.m. eastern tonight. >>> just ahead -- it's the moment so many parents have been waiting for. covid shots for kids. could get the official sign off as soon as tonight. so how soon could your child get vaccinated? that's next here in "the situation room." w

obama. i'm proud of that. ronald reagan went to maryland when a racist klansman burned a cross in front of an african american's home. he went to their home and said, "this is wrong, in is hate." and he purnled those lunatics -- purged those lunatics from his party. where is kevin mccarthy, the leader of the house republicans, who hopes to be speaker if the republicans take the chamber? where are the leaders today? something that barbara got to, too many republicans no longer have an issue or agenda to make people's lives better, they simply want to own the libs. say what you will about the democrats, but they're mostly fighting about the speed and scale and scope of how to help people, childcare, cheaper insulin, lower prescription drug prices. that's what democrats are fighting for. republicans, i would say most of them, sadly, seem not to care at all about making anybody's life better, even their own constituents. but instead just owning the libs and now this awful islamophobic statement

barack obama was running for president, and the government was going to be playing a much more active role in people's lives. "parks and rec" is actually called "public service" at one point. we liked the idea of going for a boring title like "the office". >> we're just taking the sell plate of "the office," but the office takes place in one of three rooms in the same dreary building. suddenly it was like, now the world's our oyster. >> here we go. wake up. out of the slide. >> leslie knope had ambitions, very optimistic. which was big for comedy. >> we did it! you know, i like to tell people, get on board and buckle up, because my ride's going to be a big one. leslie knope is stopping for no one. >> we thought it was important for the main character to be a woman because we wanted it to be a show about a trailblazer in many ways. >> excuse me, ma'am. do you mind if i borrow your hat? i just want to throw it up in the air victoriously. >> a realistic look at a fictional version of an experience we've all had because there were people of all different shapes and sizes and ethnicities a

obama would have loved, george w. bush would have loved, even bill clinton would have loved, a giant piece of infrastructure spending that will change people's lives. >> this is a monumental piece of legislation. this has gotten lost a bit in the conversation. democrats have been focusing on the other plan they want to get through congress but for president biden for democrats wrilt large is how they are going to sell this will to the american people. they did that with the american rescue plan. you don't see a direct connection between the american rescue plan in the spring and how voters feel about democrats and the challenge for biden and democrats across the board in congress is can they effectively sell this piece of legislation to voters ahead of the mid terms? >> the president has to know, his team has to know that this won't change right away. our cnn poll of polls, a handful of the most recent polls. the president's approval rating at 45%. 52% is his disapproval rating. you're not going to change that overnig

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

obama, and his wife had slept. so, that was the allegation that was contained in the steele dossier, and it appears that, according to the -- according to the fbi, according to john durham, danchenko lied when he was questioned about some of the sources of that information back in 2017. >> so, evan, this is now the third person charged in part of durham's investigation but it's not the, as it was, i guess, the former president said it would rock washington, the findings of this investigation. what are you learning from the people and the charges, how massive this investigation is or is not? >> reporter: yeah, i mean, look, this is the third person that has been charged and all of them have been charged with these types of crimes, lying in some fashion during the investigation. and it is not the type of thing that is necessarily rocking, as you said, the claim that the former president made but what john durham appears to be doing with these cases is trying to get at the dossier, which is the thing that trump was ob

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

pushing for an urgent response is the former us president barack obama. getting a rock star reception here and saying it's not too late. our planet has been wounded by our actions. those wounds won't be healed today or tomorrow or the next. but they can be healed. and addressing young activists, he appealed to them to keep up the pressure for change. the most important energy in this movement is coming from young people. applause. they have more at stake in this fight than anybody else. you are right to be frustrated. folks of my generation have not done enough to deal with a potentially cataclysmic problem that you now stand to inherit. many young people have suffered cataclysm already. a typhoon in the philippines eight years ago claimed 6000 lives, and one survivor, the daughter of a fisherman, fears more violent weather to come. i have seen death myself, i've seen my family struggle. i still have so many dreams in this lifetime. i'm just 2a years old. i still want to have my family. i still want to have children. but i don't even know if they will hav

what do you say to barack obama if terry mccauliffe? >> your children have choices when it comes to education. how about letting the rank-and-file. the rest of us have that same chase. you decide that your children should go to other schools, my children did not attend private schools, my children attended public school, your you had an opportunity to sense them to private school. why can't you allow the rest of us to have that same opportunity? mr. obama, why can't you allow our children to have the same children mr. mccauliffe, seems to me it is hypocritical, we're seeing right through that. because our children are the ones who are in danger of failing, we need better education systems, because we need to create generational wealth, our children cannot always start at the bottom. education lifted my farther out of property. he came to america with a dollar 75. from jamaica. took any job he could find he put himself through school, now he is comfortably retired. education lifted my farther out of father, and me out of bother. poverty.

. >> it's hard to remember it now, but during the obama administration, barack obama said he was opposed to gay marriage. but people's opinions change. >> "modern family" came at the right time, and it came in right on the heels of "will & grace," and it just kept the engine rolling, which is very helpful. >> you just made a little girl very happy. >> yes. well, i can see that. >> i think a lot of people really loved mitch and cam together, and it was very heartwarming to hear from people who, you know, were in straight relationships saying, my husband is just like mitch, or my wife is just like cam. >> all they cared about was raising their daughter well, and they loved each other, and they were sweet to each other. >> you're this amazing-looking guy and -- >> i am not amazing. really? >> i wouldn't change anything. >> we were like this trojan horse that came into their living room. it's like their hearts accepted us before their minds did. >> we're having a baby! >> and why wouldn't you want them to be married? >> on the steps of the supreme court, jubilation among same-sex marriage su
